Chapter 50: Too Clear
"Big sister, how did you make this lees? It's so delicious!"
In Songheyuan, Yan Wenkai shouted exaggeratedly.
Daohua drank the lees in small sips, glanced at her lively fourth brother and honest third brother who were drinking the lees in big gulps, and shook her head silently.
Seeing her old-fashioned look, Old Lady Yan quickly patted her on the head and asked, "Why are there only two of you? Where are your eldest brother and the others?"
Daohua said calmly, "Big brother and second brother are reciting poems."
Old Lady Yan: "Since you have opened the wine lees, send some to them as well."
Daohua put down the bowl and said, "Grandma, my eldest brother and the others are eating the sweet cakes that Master Lin bought from Fuxiangzhai. How could they care less about the distiller's grains? Besides, we didn't make much distiller's grains today. We might not even have enough for Chinese New Year."
Old Lady Yan glanced at her sideways: "Then why did you open it so early?"
Daohua smiled and said, "To thank my third and fourth brothers, my third brother helped me cultivate the potted plants, and my fourth brother helped me build a snowman. I have to show my appreciation."
Old Madam Yan immediately hit Daohuatou again: "So, if your elder brother doesn't help you, he can't eat your food?"
Daohua covered her forehead and quickly moved away from Old Lady Yan: "Grandma, if you hit me again, I'm going to become stupid."
Old Madam Yan snorted coldly, "Are you stupid? I see you have a clear distinction between inside and outside. I never saw you being so fussy when you were back home, but how come you're so clear about the distinction between inside and outside when you're here?"
Daohua remained calm and said, "Because if I give things to outsiders, they will be grateful to me. But if I give them to my so-called family, they will take it for granted. Not to mention gratitude, if I do something wrong once, they may even blame me."
"In that case, I might as well treat everyone according to my own principles from the beginning. I will treat those who are good to me well, and don't expect me to be a pushover to those who are not good to me."
Hearing this, Old Lady Yan looked surprised.
She didn't expect that her 9-year-old granddaughter could say such insightful words.
However, although it is transparent, it hides an indifference that is difficult to ignore.
For a large family, friction among family members is inevitable.
As the elder in the family, she naturally hopes that the family can live in harmony.
Old Mrs. Yan raised her eyes, looked at her granddaughter who had become friends with her two grandsons again, and sighed in her heart.
She naturally understood this granddaughter whom she had raised since she was a child.
Even though she always smiles at everyone, not many people can truly get into her heart.
She has been in Linyi County for so long, and among all the people in the Yan family, the only ones she cares about now are her eldest daughter-in-law and fourth grandson.
She probably doesn't care much about other people, including her eldest son who is a father.
Alas... my granddaughter has such a personality and ideas, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not?
Seeing Yan Wenkai was about to add more wine lees, Old Lady Yan immediately stepped forward and sealed the lees: "Okay, you have drunk enough today, no more."
After saying that, he kicked the three people out without any explanation.
Old Mrs. Yan loves her eldest grandson and wants to improve the relationship between him and her granddaughter. After all, the eldest granddaughter will have to rely on her grandson for support in the future.
So, that night, when the eldest grandson came to pay his respects, Old Lady Yan scooped a bowl of wine lees for him and said, "Try it. Your sister brewed it. She left it specially for you."
As the eldest grandson, Yan Wenxiu never forgot the responsibilities on his shoulders, so he has been strict with himself since he was a child. This has made him develop an introverted and silent personality, and he does not easily reveal his emotions.
At this moment, hearing what Old Lady Yan said, Yan Wenxiu's mouth curled up slightly: "Thank you, grandma." He also loved the food made by his elder sister.
