At this time, Zhang Gui Hua could only send someone to tell Liu Dao Xiang that if she had the time, she would come home to make a bowl of egg soup and if she was not free, she would definitely send it over to him.
Every time he ate egg soup made by Liu Dao Xiang, Liu San Gui would be able to be quiet for a few days. Only Zhang Guihua who accompanied him into his old age knew that his father missed his daughter, and was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Liu Dafu's back was a little bent. He straightened his body and looked at his foolish son, feeling extremely helpless in his heart.
"Where's the Your Milk?"
Hearing that it was Liu Qiuxiang cooking again, Liu Dafu frowned even harder.
Master, don't worry, I've cleaned up the house with my sister in the morning. My clothes were washed and hung up, my chicken and pigsty were also cleaned, and I was full of chickens and pigs. Sister went to cook, so I came back to bring tea for Father and Master.
Hearing this, Liu Dafu could only sigh in his heart. How could he not know the character of his wife?
But …
He promised that he would raise Liu Sanguan up safely and live a peaceful life in this countryside. Therefore, even though he knew that Liu Sanguan was a good student, he still cruelly allowed Liu Qi to disrupt his path of prosperity and tied him up in this countryside. Liu Dafu taught Liu Sanguan all the farming methods he knew about, and now, he could be considered to have a good hand.
Liu Dafu took out the smoke pipe and started smoking. This smoke was personally planted by Liu Sanguan, and it was not that his other sons did not buy any smoke to give to him, but only Liu Sanguan knew, that Liu Dafu was too used to smoking cigarettes, and was not used to that kind of stuff.
When he finished smoking, he also felt that he had rested enough, so he said to Liu Dao Xiang: "Let Your Milk add some dishes to cook some scrambled eggs at noon today."
"Hey, when Milkman comes back, I'll tell Milkman." She didn't say that she and her sister knew where Liu Qi hid his eggs.
Liu Dafu stood up and patted off the dust on his butt, then pushed the smoke pole to his waist. This was what he loved the most, this smoke pole was something his eldest son, who worked in the capital, bought for him.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all thought that gold was only obtained by refining copper ten times, and this copper of the nine fires had been repeatedly refined nine times. Unlike ordinary copper, it was purplish-red in color, and as long as one wiped it frequently, it would look particularly dazzling under the sunlight, making it look as if it was very valuable.
Liu Dafu liked to walk around the village like this, following the praise of the other villagers who praised him enviously that he had given birth to a good son and gave him something good to be filial.
He didn't have many thoughts about her unremarkable granddaughter, but it was a pity that she wasn't a boy. In the future, he wouldn't be able to help Liu Sangui with his land work.
"Go and have some cold tea." Liu Dafu waved his hand, picked up his hoe and continued digging, he was also a person who was not good at expressing his feelings.
Liu San Gui put down his hoe and walked to Liu Dao Xiang's side in three steps. Towards this clever second daughter, he felt even more guilty, and couldn't give her a better life.
The long years of hard work had erased all the thoughts that the man had hidden in his heart.
The change in his recent life had given him a little hope for the future. He hoped that his second daughter would marry a good family and not repeat his bitter days.
"My daughter."
"Dad, drink this." Liu Dao Xiang obediently passed the bamboo cup that was filled with water in front of him.
"Sigh!" Liu Sangui answered straightforwardly.
Liu Dao Xiang secretly looked at her cheap father. Hearing his happy reply just now, she should be in a good mood.
"Dad, how much hemp can we collect on this ten mu of land?"
Liu Sanguan looked back at the ten acres of dry land and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. "Fifty catties per mu of land? That price was twenty catties per catty last year."
One mu of land could be exchanged for one tael of silver?
"That's not bad." Liu Dao Xiang more or less knew about the price.
"Hmm, not bad. It's easy to get infected. It's tiring to have someone wait on you." In this era, there were no future generations of pesticides, and their production was also extremely low.
"Dad, then should we keep this silver for the milk tube?" Liu Dao Xiang then started to brainwash her inexpensive father.
"Every time, the merchants that come to collect the hemp would look for Your Milk." When Liu Sanguan replied, he was a bit depressed.
Ever since Liu Dao Xiang's head had been thrown so badly, Liu Sanguan had unknowingly started to have some objections towards Mrs Liu Qi in his heart.
"Dad, I also didn't say that you do more work at home than other people do. If you can't even earn a single cent from a year of work, then I'll take care of uncle and aunt, but elder sister is two years older than junior. In the future, when you marry someone, you'll need to marry elder sister first, and then you'll need to marry younger sister."
Liu San Gui's heart moved when he heard this, he felt more bitter than ever, how could he not know, it was just that he did not have any money, in the future, Liu Qiuxiang would have to rely on him, mother and father, to take out the dowry for his wedding.
"Your Milk will prepare it for your sister."
"Dad, it's not that I'm not filial, but she's always talking about my aunt's marriage. Whenever there's a trace of her older sister in her heart, she would mention it. Did you hear her say anything?"
Liu Sanguan felt that her second daughter was a little too shrewd, so why didn't she look like him and Gui Hua?
Can it be like that? He had transmigrated here, so he had long since changed his mind.
Liu Dao Xiang did not want to bear Liu Qi's anger, so she naturally wanted her own room to be extremely popular.
"Sigh, Your Milk …" Liu Sangui opened his mouth and spoke for a long time, but he still didn't say anything.
"Dad, I don't expect you to think about us anymore. The only people you're thinking about are Fourth Uncle and Little Aunt. We're all just wild kids that you've picked up from the streets." Liu Dao Xiang's eyes turned red, she touched her tears and said: Other people's parents are unwilling, so they left it for me, but Father, you are the pillar of our family, you are only concerned with Fourth Uncle and Aunt, one will be looking for a wife in the future, the other is going to marry, I want to see how old you are, so I want you to be filial to me.
These words were a bit heavy, but it was like a drum striking against Liu Sangui's heart.
"Second daughter, dad has let you guys down. When the opportunity comes, dad will tell you, can you split some silver with me every year?" Indeed, just like Liu Dao Xiang had said, he already had a wife and daughter.
Liu Dao Xiang stretched out her hand and quickly touched the tears on her face, revealing a cute smile: "Father." This way of calling him father was so sweet.
Liu Sanguan unconsciously shook his body, "My daughter, if you have anything to say, just say it. I promise I'll do it."
Now, he knew that every time her second daughter revealed this kind of smile, she was just waiting for him to jump into the pit.
With regards to Liu San Gui's self-awareness, Liu Dao Xiang indicated that the training effect was not bad.
"Dad, it's actually not that big of a deal, it's just that, the Li San-mei said that her own courtyard is a bit empty, it's a little bit of a pity that it's empty, so I discussed it with her and borrowed the northwest corner of her courtyard to raise chickens. Of course, I'll find the chicken food in the future, while I'll clean her courtyard and chicken coop with your daughter."
Liu Sanguan thought for a moment, then asked, "Don't tell me your Third Aunt is tied up by you until there's nothing you can do?"
Of course, Liu Dao Xiang would not tell the truth, she only said: "In the past, mother's chickens had all turned into milk, so father is unreliable, and as a daughter, I can only rely on myself to earn a dowry. Father, you cannot turn your back and speak."
Liu San Gui remembered what the His wife had said. The money her daughters earned was from her own daughters, so how could he dare to complain? If the His wife really brought the three daughters back to her parents' home, where would he go to cry?
"Sure, I'll tell your grandpa when I get the chance." When he saw his calm second daughter looking so anxious, he hurriedly added, "I only said that San-ge sent a message asking me to help him fix his chicken coop."
Liu Dao Xiang looked at her father in shock.
What about the simple and honest man?
"Your father isn't stupid." He was just being a little more honest. From the bottom of his heart, he truly envied his elder brother for being able to be pained by his mother.
Therefore, he had always strived very hard to be a good son, the son that Liu Qi liked.
Liu Dao Xiang never thought that this matter would be solved so easily. She thought that it might not succeed, and was even more happy that her father was not stupid enough to take advantage of her, and also knew that her daughter had to hide her wealth.
