Chapter 391, Yan's Visitors
After lunch, Xiao Yeyang was punished by Gu Jian to wash the dishes.
Watching Xiao Yeyang obediently clearing the table, Daohua stood aside and laughed secretly. However, her joy didn't last long before she realized that her master was staring at her, and she immediately smiled awkwardly.
Gu Jian snorted, "It takes two to tango. He's wrong, but you're also wrong. Go to the kitchen and help light the fire."
Rice Flower: "Yes."
Defu and Wang Maner wanted to go and help, but were scared away by Gu Jian's sharp eyes.
In the kitchen, Daohua boiled the water for washing dishes before Xiao Yeyang cleaned the dining table.
Looking at the bowls, chopsticks and plates stacked together, Xiao Yeyang was a little at a loss as to where to start. He was already very skilled at lighting the fire, but this was his first time washing dishes.
Looking at the rice flowers sitting behind the stove, he asked, "How am I going to wash this?"
Daohua: "You can wash them one by one, or put them all in and wash them together."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Let's wash together, it will be faster." After that, he put all the bowls, chopsticks and plates into the hot water.
I didn't control the strength well and my sleeves got wet in a short while.
Daohua was speechless: "Why don't you roll up your sleeves?"
Xiao Yeyang raised his hands to roll up his sleeves, but found that his hands were all greasy. He could only stretch his hands to Daohua: "Please roll them up for me."
Daohua stood up with a look of disgust, walked quickly to him, and quickly rolled up his sleeves. Seeing the water stains on his robe, she said helplessly, "Be gentler. If someone knows you, they'll think you're washing dishes, and if someone doesn't, they'll think you're taking a shower."
Xiao Yeyang: "Do you think I want to do this? This is my first time washing and I have no experience. It will be fine next time."
Hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but smile: "Then you have to work hard. Next time we eat here, washing the dishes will be your responsibility." As she said that, she was about to turn around and sit back behind the stove. However, just as she took a step, she heard a loud "clang".
When I looked back, I saw several plates smashed on the ground.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua innocently: "I didn't mean to do that. My hands were slippery. I'll clean it up right away." As he said that, he squatted down and started picking up the broken pieces.
"Hey, be careful, don't cut your fingers, I..."
Before Daohua could finish her words, she saw a stain of scarlet on Xiao Yeyang's hand. She hurried over and pulled him up. She wanted to say something to him, but he was looking at her eagerly. All her words turned into a sigh, and she pulled him out of the kitchen.
"Come on, I'll give you some medicine."
When Grandma Gu and Gu Jian heard the noise, they both walked out of the main room. They saw Daohua pulling Xiao Yeyang to the pharmacy, and then returned to the house.
Gu Jian: "I told you, these two little guys are just playing around, and you're worrying for nothing."
Granny Gu glanced at him sideways and said, "How can I not be worried? Yeyang doesn't have any elders around him, and he doesn't know who to turn to for help when he encounters problems. We have to keep an eye on him."
Gu Jian was silent for a moment: "I can guess a little bit about what Daohua is thinking. She stays away from Yeyang probably because she feels that her status is not enough."
Granny Gu: "Let the two children get along naturally. They are still naive right now. If they really are interested in each other in the future, even though I can't compare to that person, I can still help them get together."
Gu Jian looked at Grandma Gu in surprise.
Grandma Gu smiled bitterly. She hadn't seen either of her two sons get married. God had sent her this grandson, Ye Yang. As a grandmother, she naturally hoped that his marriage would be as he wished.
In the pharmacy, Daohua first wiped the oil stains off Xiao Yeyang's hands with a handkerchief, and then applied medicine to his wound. As she applied the medicine, she scolded him, "How could you be so careless? It might be a little painful when you apply the ointment, just bear with it."
Looking at Daohua carefully applying medicine to himself, with a look of heartache between his brows, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. In fact, it was just a small cut. To him, it was like being bitten by an ant.
However, he liked to see Daohua getting nervous for him, so the moment he applied the ointment, he hissed and gasped, "It hurts a little, blow on it for me."
Daohua didn't suspect anything and pulled Xiao Yeyang's hand closer. While blowing on it, she continued to apply medicine to him: "Be patient, it will be fine soon."
Xiao Yeyang had a smile in his eyes: "It's okay, take your time."
At the same time, at the gate of Ningmen Prefecture, several carriages slowly drove into the city gate.
Yan Yunxi sat in the middle carriage, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked around the city curiously: "Brother, didn't Brother Wenxiu say that the Ningmen Mansion under Uncle Yan's rule was very poor? I think this place is even more prosperous and lively than our Fengbai Mansion."
Yan Wenqi, the eldest son of the Yan clan leader, laughed and said, "That was Wen Xiu's humble words, how can you take them seriously?"
Yan Yunxi lowered the carriage curtain and said, "Brother, Uncle Yan is now a fourth-rank official. If we go there, will Daohua look down on us? Back when we were in the village, she was so arrogant that she wouldn't even play with us."
Yan Wenqi glared at his sister and said, "Yunxi, please stop calling her Daohua. Rich families value reputation. Now that sister Yiyi is grown up, it's really inappropriate to call her by her nickname."
Yan Yunxi pouted and said, "I know. I will definitely not call her by her nickname in front of her."
Yan Wenqi smiled. As his sister grew older, she became much more sensible. He didn't need to worry too much about her. "Sister Yiyi has an easygoing personality. I'm not too worried about her. After we get to the Yan Mansion, you should pay close attention to the other three girls."
"We are visiting the Yan residence. You must control your temper and not be as willful as you are at home, understand?"
Yan Yunxi was a little impatient: "I know, I know. My parents told me this countless times before I left the house. I've heard it so many times that my ears are callused."
"Isn't it just that Uncle Yan's family is the Yan family's support? We can only respect them and not offend them. Don't worry, I know all this."
Yan Wenqi thought for a moment and said, "If you don't feel comfortable in the Yan Mansion, then you can stay with Yun Yan. We won't be staying here for long anyway."
Yan Yunxi nodded to indicate that she understood.
The same conversation was taking place in another carriage.
Listening to the hustle and bustle of the street, Yan Yunyan wanted to lift the car curtain to take a look, but she was afraid of behaving inappropriately, so she forced herself to hold back: "Brother, do you think Daohua Yiyi still remembers us?"
Yan Wenge turned his eyes away from the book and was silent for a moment: "I should remember it."
"I definitely remember!"
Yan Wenyi took over the conversation, "When Yiyi was little, she often came to our house to learn to read from Grandpa. She couldn't have forgotten. I just don't know if she still remembers the time we went up the mountain together to catch rabbits."
Yan Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Second brother, you can't say these words anymore. Now Yiyi is a daughter of a wealthy family. Her words and deeds are definitely different from those in the village."
