Chapter 35, Vaccination
"Ahem~"
Yan Zhigao walked into the main room, and the four mothers and children, who had been so happy just a moment ago, suddenly became silent and looked at him together.
"Dad, why are you here? Didn't you go to Shuangxinyuan?"
Yan Wenkai never thinks before speaking, so when he saw Yan Zhigao, he just said this casually.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Zhigao, who was about to sit down, looked uncomfortable. If he didn't know the character of his son Yan Wenkai, he would have thought that he was making fun of him.
Glancing at his wife and eldest son who were also a little surprised, he realized that he seemed to have neglected the main courtyard.
Yan Wenxiu glared at Yan Wenkai, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
Yan Wenkai curled his lips. He was just curious. Usually, his father rarely came to the main courtyard to eat. Tonight, his grandmother asked everyone to eat in their own rooms, so he instinctively thought that his father was going to Shuangxinyuan.
Now that he has come to the main courtyard, can't he just ask a question?
Daohua stood aside and watched the interaction between her two brothers, then lowered her head and smiled.
This little brother of hers is so honest and cute!
Madam Li smiled and added a set of bowls and chopsticks for Yan Zhigao, then asked, "Master, didn't you eat in the old lady's yard?"
Yan Zhigao shook his head, feeling a little depressed when he thought of the old lady waving her hand to chase him out.
In the past, the old lady would never treat him like this. She would have wanted to give him all the good things.
But after coming this time, he clearly felt that he was no longer the most important person in the old lady's heart. Now, his eldest daughter was the old lady's apple of her eye.
If he, as a father, said something about his daughter, the old lady would scold him for a long time.
Yan Zhigao glanced at the rice flowers and wanted to scold them, but when he thought of what the old lady said, he didn't say anything. However, this made his face look a little bad.
Mrs. Li was relieved to see that her master didn't blame her daughter. She kept winking at her daughter, "Daohua, quickly serve your father a bowl of the soybean and pig's trotter soup you made."
Daohua received the instruction and stood up without hesitation. She poured a bowl of pig's trotter soup for Yan Zhigao and said, "Father, please enjoy."
Yan Zhigao glanced at his eldest daughter and saw that she was smiling. After he could no longer say any words of accusation, he said "hmm" and picked up the soup to eat.
I can’t stop eating this.
"Is this soup made from rice flowers?"
Madam Li smiled and nodded, "That's right. Except for the pig's trotters, which were prepared by the maids in the kitchen, everything else was cooked by Daohua herself."
Yan Zhigao glanced at his eldest daughter in surprise: "Daohua's cooking skills are quite good."
Daohua said modestly, "Grandma and Third Aunt taught me well." It was mainly because the soybeans produced in the space were good.
Yan Zhigao asked again, "Did your grandmother send the soup?"
Madam Li: "No one can be left out without the old lady. As soon as the soup is ready, the rice flowers will be sent over. The second and third wives will also have some."
Yan Zhigao immediately wanted to ask if Shuangxinyuan had any, but when he thought about how Daohua had had several conflicts with them shortly after arriving, he swallowed the words back.
Yan Wenkai drank three bowls of pig's trotter soup in a row. When he wanted to get another bowl, Mrs. Li hit him on the back of his hand.
"If you drink any more, you'll have indigestion at night."
Yan Wenkai glanced at the soup bowl reluctantly, then looked at Daohua: "Big sister, can you make this soup tomorrow?"
Daohua shook her head without thinking: "I still have classes to go to, and I have homework to do after class. I don't have time." The space and food are limited, and it is impossible to feed such a large family every day.
Besides, she was a little reluctant to give it up. The energy for the operation of the space was collected by her with great difficulty. It would be okay for those who were nice to her, but some people in her family were not very friendly to her, so she was unwilling to let them get it for free.
Hearing this, everyone at the table was a little disappointed.
The food made from rice flowers is very ordinary, but the taste is very good, whether it is the dumpling soup before or the pig's trotter soup tonight, after eating it, the whole body feels warm and indescribably comfortable.
Speaking of classes, Yan Zhigao had to say: "Tomorrow in class, go and apologize to Master Qin."
"No!" Daohua replied directly.
Seeing Yan Zhigao's face darken, Madam Li immediately nodded Daohua's head and said, "How do you talk to your father?"
The smile on Daohua's face disappeared: "Master Qin doesn't like me, and I don't think I did anything wrong."
Yan Zhigao suppressed his anger and said, "You are wrong to talk back to your teacher. If this reputation gets out, you won't be able to find a good family in the future."
Daohua's face was full of black lines. Why are we talking about getting married again?
She can't avoid this topic, right?
Seeing Daohua remained silent, Yan Zhigao softened his tone. "Master Qin is wrong to target you, but you have your own problems as well." He then looked at Madam Li and said, "Tomorrow you will go talk to Master Qin. As a teacher, she can correct my daughter if she makes a mistake, but she cannot target her at will."
Mrs. Li agreed with a smile.
Seeing that her cheap father's attitude was acceptable this time, Daohua didn't say anything. However, after thinking about it, she asked, "Can we change teachers?"
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's face darkened again: "Do you think it's so easy to hire a female tutor in the county?"
Daohua frowned: "Master Qin doesn't like me, and I don't like her either. What if we have a conflict again in the future?"
Yan Zhigao frowned. "Why do you always think about getting into conflict with the Master? Can't you think of something better?"
Daohua shrugged. "I think so too. Since the class started, I've been well-behaved every day. But Master Qin wants to make trouble for me, what can I do? Third Uncle is right. The relationship between people depends on fate. Master Qin and I are the kind of people who are tired of each other."
"you"
Yan Zhigao stared at Daohua, unable to find any words to refute.
At this time, Madam Li spoke up, "Don't make a fuss, Daohua. Master Qin is one of the most knowledgeable female teachers in Linyi County. She is here to teach you, so you must be humble and seek her advice, understand?"
Seeing Madam Li's serious face, Daohua knew that changing the teacher was impossible, and muttered, "What if she bullies me again?"
Madam Li: "Mother will tell Master Qin."
Daohua: "Okay, but if she targets me again in the future, I definitely won't tolerate it." Anyway, she's giving her a shot of prevention here first.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhigao was about to get angry again, but was persuaded by Madam Li.
Seeing that the children had almost finished eating, Mrs. Li signaled them that they could leave.
As soon as Yan Wenxiu and his two siblings left, Yan Zhigao complained to Madam Li, "Look at Daohua's temper. She's been spoiled by her mother."
Madam Li smiled and said, "Master, Daohua is a bit straightforward, but you have to be considerate of her. She just returned to us and is not familiar with the rules here. She went to class and was specifically targeted by the teacher. If she tolerates this, won't everyone be able to bully her in the future?"
Yan Zhigao glared: "Who dares? She is my eldest daughter, who can bully her?"
Madam Li smiled faintly: "Haven't you been bullied yet? It's only been a short time since you came here, and it's not like you haven't been made to cry before."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhigao looked embarrassed.
The eldest daughter was so angry that she cried, as if it was him who did it?
That night, Yan Zhigao rested in the main courtyard.
In Shuangxin Courtyard, the Lin mother and daughter, who were eagerly waiting for Yan Zhigao to come over and whisper in his ear some more, went to bed with a look of disappointment on their faces.
"Mom, do you think Dad will punish Big Sister?"
"Yes, your father is a big believer in rules. He won't ignore it if a young lady disrespects her teachers."
The next morning, everyone in each room and courtyard got up early, waiting for Yan Zhigao's decision on how to deal with Daohua.
Unfortunately, until Yan Zhigao went to the yamen, there was no news of him punishing Daohua.
However, Master Qin was invited to the main courtyard by Madam Li for the first time.
You know, in the past, in order to show her respect for Master Qin, whenever there was something, Madam Li would go to the Academy of Virtue and Art to see Master Qin in person.
