Chapter 109: Chapter 96, Quota_1

Daohua followed Yan Zhigao and Madam Li, welcoming Li Xingnian through the door, as the group chatted and made their way toward the old lady’s courtyard.

“Little sister, how did you come up with the idea to plant watermelons? And to grow them so well?” Li Xingnian asked Madam Li.

As a merchant who had traveled extensively from south to north over the years, he was well aware that watermelons were not easy to cultivate.

Just after entering Xingzhou City, he had passed by the Yan Family’s shop and made a point to look at the watermelons they were selling. Goodness, they looked even better than those he had seen in Beijing.

Madam Li laughed, “It’s all thanks to that impish girl Daohua. Last year she planted two acres of watermelon in her hometown and saved some seeds. As our newly purchased estate had some vacant land, we decided to plant them there.”

Lt Xingnian glanced at Daohua, who was following closely beside him with a demeanor that was very familiar, and his eyes were full of smiles, “You’re quite bold, weren’t you afraid they wouldn’t grow well?”

Madam Li glanced at Yan Zhigao and chuckled, “We were worried about that, so we didn’t mention it at home. Sir, don’t be angry, please.”

Yan Zhigao waved his hand dismissively, “I trust you to manage the household affairs, you don’t need to consult me about everything.”

Li Xingnian picked up the conversation, “Luckily, it was a fortunate mistake to have planted these watermelons, otherwise we wouldn’t have this harvest.” Madam Li nodded with a smile, “Indeed, but the abundant watermelon harvest has also benefited greatly from the support of the old lady and the bustling efforts of my youngest brother.”

At these words, the smile on Yan Zhigao’s face grew wider.

Daohua, following the adults, listened to their conversation without interjecting. Seeing Madam Li relaxed and cheerful in the presence of her brother from her maternal family, Daohua’s heart also filled with joy. Although her mother had kept in correspondence with her maternal family over the years, the actual meetings had been few and far between; no wonder she was so happy.

Soon, the group arrived at the old lady’s courtyard.

Li Xingnian paid his respects to the old Madam Yan and exchanged greetings with Yan Zhiyuan and Yan Zhiqiang before they all sat down to talk and socialize.

“Uncle, have some grapes.”

With a beaming smile, Daohua placed a plate of chilled grapes in front of Li Xingnian on the coffee table.

Seeing the large round grapes that resembled dark amethysts, Li Xingnian laughed, “These grapes are quite a treat. I must savor them.” With that, he picked one and popped it into his mouth.

“Mmm, so sweet!”

Old Madam Yan chuckled, “1 feel the same way. To me, they taste even better than watermelons.”

After enjoying another grape, Li Xingnian pushed the plate toward Daohua, “You young ladies love this kind of thing, I should only taste a few.” These ’ grapes were not cheap, and seldom seen in the market; he guessed his sister’s family didn’t have many.

Daohua paused briefly before her eyebrows and eyes curved in a smile, and she pushed the plate back to him, “Uncle, please eat your fill. I grew these grapes myself.”

Li Xingnian looked surprised, “You can grow grapes too?”

Daohua lifted her chin, proud, “There are so many things I can grow.”

Lt Xingnian laughed, “You’re quite the unabashed girl, aren’t you?”

Daohua glared back, “What’s there to be ashamed of? I’m stating a fact.” After saying so, she pushed the plate again, “Uncle, please, help yourself. Although 1 dtdn’t grow many grapes this time, there are certainly enough for you to eat to your heart’s content.”

This time, Li Xingnian did not refuse.

They also had grapes at his home, but they were rare and expensive. Plus, with many children in the family, he only ever tasted one or two at a time-he never really indulged.

“Then your uncle will enjoy the good fortune provided by our Daohua,” he decided.

At this moment, Yan Zhiyuan spoke up again, “Daohua, take it easy, didn’t you say you want to make grape wine? Just make sure you don’t run out of grapes by then.” _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
