There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Chapter 498, New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve, the Yan family was lively in the morning. All the rooms were dressed in new clothes and gathered in the old lady's yard to eat glutinous rice balls.

After breakfast, Yan Zhigao led a few juniors to write couplets. On the female family's side, Mrs. Yan led everyone to paste window grilles and blessing characters. The family chatted and laughed, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.

Seeing the happy family members, Daohua's heart was full of joy, but Xiao Yeyang's lonely figure would come to her mind from time to time, and the joy in her heart faded.

"Cousin Yiyi, the eldest uncle has written the couplet, let's go and paste it?"

When Yang Xiujun saw Daohua sitting beside her and didn't move, she smiled and called her.

Daohua smiled: "You and Yihuan and the others go to the post bar, I'm going to the kitchen to see how the dishes are being prepared." After speaking, she got up and walked out of the yard.

Looking at the back of Daohua leaving, Yang Xiujun looked puzzled. The meal for the New Year's Eve family banquet was ordered early in the morning, and Cousin Yiyi didn't need to watch.

"Xiuyun, what are you doing standing there, I didn't see your fourth cousin sticking to each other, so why don't you come over and help." Yan Siyu winked at Yang Xiuyun.

Yang Xiujun glanced at Yan Wenkai, saw the bright and sunny smile on his face, pursed her lips, and walked over with a decent smile.

Mrs. Li, who was joking with Mrs. Yan, heard her sister-in-law's voice, looked up at her niece who was walking towards her younger son, and frowned slightly.

On the other side, when Daohua came to the kitchen, she asked for a small stove, then rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

Wang Man'er started to fight on the side. Seeing that her girl was cooking some light food, she immediately knew that it was for the little prince.

At noon, Daohua packed the prepared food into the food box and handed it to Wang Man'er: "Go and let the little sixth brother run, let him walk faster, and don't let the food get cold."

Wang Man'er nodded and prepared to leave with the food box in hand.

"Wait!" Daohua stopped the person, "Let the sixth brother tell Xiao Yeyang by the way, I went over to play with him after lunch with the third and fourth brothers."

Wang Man'er smiled and said, "This slave has written it down."

Daohua said again: "Remember to avoid some people and go."

After Wang Man'er left, Daohua called the maid and brought the rice cakes to the old lady's yard.

Xiao House.

Defu silently put away the sweet soup that Xiao Yeyang had eaten only a few mouthfuls, and turned to look at the master who was standing at the door looking in the direction of the door, feeling very uncomfortable.

Today is New Year's Eve, the time for family reunion, but the master can only celebrate the New Year alone.

Hey. I don't know if Miss Yan will be able to go out today? If she can't come, the master will be disappointed.

Defu walked towards Xiao Yeyang and asked with a smile, "Master, today's meal is prepared according to the menu of previous years. Do you think there is anything you want to add or reduce?"

Xiao Yeyang looked indifferent: "You can do it." After speaking, he was silent for a while and asked, "Has the black chicken soup boiled?"

Defu nodded and said with a smile, "The kitchen was boiled up early in the morning. The servants just passed the kitchen and smelled the fragrance from afar."

The corners of Xiao Yeyang's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "You said, will she come?"

Defu's expression paused, considered for a while, and said, "Miss Yan has always been a trustworthy person, and what she said will definitely be done."

Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Aunt Li is strict, I'm afraid she won't let her out."

Defu didn't know how to answer the call.

Not to mention that today is New Year's Eve, even in normal times, girls from big families can't go out often. Although Miss Yan goes out more often than others, she has to report to Mrs. Li every time, so he can't say for sure.

At this moment, the doorman trotted in: "Master, someone named Qin Xiaoliu came over and said that he was ordered by the third master Yan and the fourth master Yan to bring you food."

Defu looked overjoyed, more excited than Xiao Yeyang, and asked first, "Where's the person?"

Concierge: "Still standing at the door."

Defu: "Hurry up and have someone come here." He said, looking at Xiao Yeyang, "Master, I'll go over and bring people over in person."

Xiao Yeyang nodded expressionlessly.

Defu looked at the smile in the master's eyes, the smile on his face became more and more, and he quickly left the yard.

Soon, he brought Qin Xiaoliu over.

"My little one, my little prince, and my little prince, happy new year."

Xiao Yeyang raised his hand to get Qin Xiaoliu up and looked at the food box he was holding in his hand.

Qin Xiaoliu said quickly, "My girl made it herself. Once it's done, I will ask Xiaoli to bring it to you."

Defu mentioned the food box, touched it with his hand, and said with a smile, "Master, it's still hot."

The corner of Xiao Yeyang's mouth curled up: "Well, I will eat it."

Qin Xiaoliu smiled again: "My girl also said that she would come to play with you after lunch with the third and fourth masters."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang looked up at the sky, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed. After a while, he squeezed his fist and covered his mouth and said, "I see."

Defu immediately took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to Qin Xiaoliu: "Master will reward you."

Qin Xiaoliu quickly thanked him: "Thank you little prince for the reward."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned around and entered the room: "If you get lucky, you can give it away."

"Yes!"

Defu put the food box on the table, and then took Qin Xiaoliu out. When he came back, he saw that his master had arranged the food in the food box and started eating.

"The food made by Miss Yan is fragrant, and you can smell it from afar."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at him with a smile on his face: "Are you a dog?"

Defu 'hehe' smiled.

Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, the meals made in the kitchen today, except for the black-bone chicken soup, are all rewarded to you, go eat, I don't need you here."

Defu immediately thanked in a loud voice: "Thank you, Master, for the reward, we have a good fortune today."

Yan House.

The Yan family also sat on the table, because this year, Yan Siyu's mother and son were three, and the old lady was very happy, and the smile on her face never fell.

Looking at the children around her and the sumptuous meals on the table, the corners of Mrs. Yan's eyes were a little wet.

She never dreamed that she could have such a day.

Full of children and grandchildren, the family is prosperous.

Daohua noticed the strangeness of the old lady, and immediately picked up the jug and gave the old lady a glass of wine: "Grandmother, my granddaughter wishes you a happy New Year, and the more you live, the younger you are."

Mrs. Yan smiled and raised her cup: "Looking at how sensible and well-behaved you are, I have to live two more years. I drank this cup."

At the beginning of Daohua, the juniors in the family began to come to toast one by one.

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li watched with a smile, but they didn't stop it. The old lady and the children were drinking fruit wine, which was not intoxicating.

This meal was a bit long. Daohua didn't eat much because of something in her heart. When lunch was over, she would look at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao from time to time.

Yan Wentao noticed Daohua's gaze and pulled Yan Wenkai, while Yan Wenkai pulled Yan Wenxiu again.

Yan Wenxiu immediately smiled and said, "Big sister, didn't you say you want to read the only book about farming in my study? I found it yesterday, you can go and read it."

Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "What books are you reading during the New Year's Eve?"

Daohua stood up: "Grandma, I want to read it. I have been thinking about that book for a long time." After saying that, she looked at Yan Wenxiu, "Brother, where did you put it, I want it now."

Yan Wenxiu: "Wentao and Wenkai know, let them accompany you."

Daohua smiled and said, "Okay, we'll be back later."

Seeing the three of them leave, Mrs. Yan shook her head with a smile, and then continued to talk to her son and daughter.
