The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137: Chapter 960, Supreme Peace

After Laba, Gu Jian went out to sell the Daozi several more times, seeing that the old master and his son were very spirited and with servants looking after them, and sometimes Chu Lang would follow along, Daohua did not object.

As the New Year approached, Daohua also got busy, preparing New Year’s gifts and taking inventory of the year’s harvest and expenses.

Xiao Yeyang was still leaving early and returning late. The power dynamics in Liangdu were far more complex than those of Ganzhou Guard, and while the officials dared not openly oppose Xiao Yeyang, they were very scheming behind his back.

As long as their interests were harmed, even if a decree were good for Xiliang or the common people, they would not hesitate to block it.

Xiao Yeyang was decisive. Upon finding evidence of an official’s crimes, he would directly arrest them and put them in jail, thus deterring many.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the offices started to close for the holiday, and Xiao Yeyang could finally rest.

"Xiao Yeyang, come and bathe your son!"

In the Clean Room, several charcoal braziers were burning vigorously, and in the steaming tub, a naked Daozi was happily splashing about in the water, making Daohua and Guyu’s clothes wet from the splashes and the ground around them drenched.

Xiao Yeyang strode in and seeing droplets of water on Daohua’s hair, he immediately laughed. "Let me do it, you go and change into some dry clothes, don’t catch a cold."

Daohua glanced at the time, stood up straight, and instructed, "Keep an eye on the water temperature, don’t let the child play too long."

Kids love playing with water, and the little fellow always had fun for quite a while during bath times.

Xiao Yeyang had not yet bathed his son. He nodded promptly and looking at his son splashing in the tub, he smiled, "The tub is a bit small; we’ll get a bigger one next time, so it’s convenient to teach my son how to swim."

Daohua, holding a towel to her hair, replied, "Just focus on bathing, and if you really want to teach swimming, when summer comes, we can dig a swimming pool in the empty courtyard to teach him."

Xiao Yeyang agreed with a nod: "That’s a good idea. I’ll teach him myself then."

Daohua said, "Will you have the time? It’s better not to make empty promises, don’t think that the child won’t remember because he’s young. If you break your promises a few times, he will definitely be disappointed."

Xiao Yeyang laughed, "I can make some time to teach my son to swim. I won’t break the promise." Saying this, he began to play with his son.

Daohua didn’t bother with the father and son and turned to go change her clothes.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yeyang finally came out with his son wrapped in a small cotton quilt and tucked him into a warm bed.

Daohua hurriedly picked up the clothes to dress her son.

Daozi snuggled in his mother’s arms and while being dressed by Daohua, he said, "Mom, sleep together."

Looking at her son pouting his lips, Daohua smiled and kissed her son’s cheek, "Alright, we’ll sleep together tonight."

Ever since the small stove was cleared out, every night after Daozi had fallen asleep, Xiao Yeyang would carry his son to the small stove to let him sleep by himself.

Initially, the little guy strongly protested a few times, but later, whether he got used to it or realized that protesting wouldn’t prevent him from sleeping on the small stove, he stopped making a fuss.

Xiao Yeyang took off his slightly wet outer garments and lay down on the stove bed. Seeing this, Daozi automatically crawled into Xiao Yeyang’s arms, a look of contentment on his face.

"You little rascal!"

Xiao Yeyang pinched his son’s nose.

Daozi spoke with a strong voice, "Dad, tell a story."

Xiao Yeyang replied, "Wait for your mom to come, your dad hasn’t read as many storybooks as she has."

Daohua immediately said, "When our son asks you to tell a story, he wants to interact with you. He’s not even two years old yet, what could he understand? What he wants is the company of you, his father."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang racked his brains and started to tell his son about things he did when he was young.

Unfortunately, Daozi wasn’t buying it and looked longingly at Daohua, "Mom, tell the story."

Daohua touched her son’s head, "Next year on New Year’s Eve, your big uncle and big aunt will come over. Mom still has some things to take care of, so let daddy play with you."

Daozi glanced at his father, and to his father’s surprise, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang laughed and cried, "You little rascal, dare to disdain your old man." With that, he lifted his legs and put Daozi on them.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang using his feet to lift his son, Daohua got a fright, "Take it easy, don’t drop the son."

Xiao Yeyang reassured, "Don’t worry, he won’t fall."

Watching her son excitedly shouting, Daohua shook her head and went to the outer room.
