The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Chapter 182: Coveting Sichuan After Securing Gansu_1

Daohua realized that this year, her family had received more Dragon Boat Festival gifts than last year, and even some families who had never interacted with them before had sent gifts.

In the past few days, Madam Li had been busy every day with returning gifts, and Daohua, who had been taken under Madam Li’s wing, also found herself swept up in the hustle.

On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Daohua was in the main courtyard organizing the gift lists from various households when she saw Madam Li hurriedly entering from outside.

“Mother, the sun is so fierce, why are you rushing like that?” Daohua put down the list and quickly poured a cup of cooled tea, handing it to Madam Li.

Madam Li indeed was thirsty and tilted her head back to finish the tea in one gulp, handing the cup back to her daughter. She then turned to Ping Tong and Ping Xiao inside the room and said, “Quick, find the new clothes we made earlier for the master.”

Daohua, curious, asked, “Mother, is Father meeting with someone?”

Madam Li shook her head while searching for other items Yan Zhigao often used, saying, “Not meeting anyone, he is going out.”

Daohua followed Madam Li closely, asking, “Going out, where to?”

Madam Li said, “To the provincial capital, the Governor has invited your father to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Daohua asked, “The Governor, Xiao Yeyang’s uncle! What does he want with Father?”

Madam Li paused in her gathering of items, turned her head to look at Daohua, and smiled, “Your father’s winter wheat planted in the official fields has been harvested, and the yield was high.”

Hearing this, Daohua’s face lit up with joy, “Really? Does that mean it will be promoted soon?”

Madam Li shook her head, “I don’t know. Your father has already reported it upward with a memorandum. As for what to do next, it depends on the higher-ups’ decision.”

Daohua didn’t ask further and sat back down to continue sorting the gift lists.

After all, now that the grain variety was out, it would definitely be promoted.

Before she had sorted through a few lists, Daohua turned her head towards Madam Li again, “Mother, our watermelon cultivation is doing well. You could mention it to Father; if it could be promoted in Xingzhou, it could also increase the common people’s income.”

Madam Li’s eyes lit up, “Yes, that’s true. How did I forget about this?”

Daohua continued, “And there are also grapes. Since Father is the Prefectural Governor of Xingzhou, if he could create one or two specialties for Xingzhou during his term, I think the people would be grateful.”

Madam Li, who had followed her brothers around since she was young and was therefore well-versed, after hearing Daohua’s words, didn’t bother with her preparations and picked up her skirt to head towards the front courtyard.

Seeing this, Daohua shook her head, saying with mock solemnity, “Oh, my mother. Even at her age, still so impulsive.”

“Pfft~”

Ping Xiao and Ping Tong inside the room laughed upon seeing her like this.

Wang Manman, who was also there, said with a smile, “Now I finally know who the young miss gets her fiery temperament from!”

Daohua smiled, unbothered, “I am my mother’s daughter, isn’t it to be expected that I resemble her?”

…

The front courtyard.

Madam Li recounted Daohua’s words verbatim to Yan Zhigao.

After listening, both Yan Zhigao and Xiao Yeyang’s uncle were impressed.

“Did Daohua really say all this?” Yan Zhigao asked in surprise, the insights of his eldest daughter truly took him aback.

Xiao Yeyang’s uncle smiled and said to Yan Zhigao, “Congratulations to you, sir, for having such a smart daughter.”

Madam Li’s expression faltered, and she quickly said, “That girl was just speaking off the cuff. She’s just a child, what does she know? She probably just thought the watermelons and grapes she grew tasted good and wanted to sell more of them.”
