The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1133

Chapter 1133: Chapter 956, Worrying

"What are you all doing?"

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daohua took advantage of the holiday and invited the officials’ families of Liangdu to the Prince Residence to appreciate chrysanthemums and eat mooncakes.

Busy until the evening, after Daohua sent the guests away, she returned to her room and saw that the maids and old women were busily working on something, while Xiao Yeyang was holding Daozi at the side, occasionally giving some directions.

When Daozi saw his mother return, he immediately pointed excitedly at the small kang bed the old women were tidying up and said, "Bed, mine!"

Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a sideways glance: "Just go ahead and trick your son. He woke up crying this morning; you can go and soothe him yourself."

Xiao Yeyang coughed lightly: "He cries because he can’t see us. He definitely won’t cry if he knows we are right here in the room."

He sounded certain, but Xiao Yeyang also felt somewhat uncertain in his heart. He looked at the chubby little one in his arms and admonished him, "A man should bleed and not shed tears; in the future, you’re not allowed to cry indiscriminately."

Listening to Xiao Yeyang, Daohua was speechless and walked over to take her son: "How old is he, can he understand any of this?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Aren’t the things I say much easier to understand than the storybooks you read to him every day?"

Daohua: "I didn’t expect my son to understand when I tell stories. I just want him to get an impression and to learn how to speak." Saying this, she played with Daozi a bit, then took the milk custard that Guyu brought over and fed her son spoon by spoon.

Seeing Daozi eating with relish, Xiao Yeyang sat down beside them and picked up a cloth to wipe his mouth.

Daozi was eating nicely, but Xiao Yeyang kept wiping his mouth, which interfered with his eating; the little guy immediately became disgruntled, waved his arms twice, and bossily shooed him away: "Go!"

Daohua immediately laughed: "He’s telling you to go away."

Xiao Yeyang ’tsk’ed, pinched his son’s nose: "Good intentions treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs." After speaking, he didn’t continue to tease his son.

"By the way, I heard that you bought tens of thousands of acres of barren land?"

Daohua didn’t even lift her head: "The Wei Family’s land is good, but I’m worried about buying too much and affecting you, aren’t I?"

Xiao Yeyang: "That land was originally going to be sold publicly, whether you buy it or someone else, it’s all the same; who dares say anything?"

Daohua: "Let’s forget about it. Strictly speaking, you were parachuted into Xiliang and you have already taken up a lot of people’s interests. There is no need to compete with the local officials and gentry over land anymore. Buying two estates and a ranch is enough."

Hearing this from Daohua, Xiao Yeyang didn’t say anything more, but just asked: "What are you going to do with so much barren land?"

Daohua smiled: "I’ve sent people to explore, and there are quite a few rivers around Liangdu. With that land, I can build canals, and in a few years, the barren land can become fertile. Although the initial investment might be large, we can grow corn and potatoes, the losses won’t be much."

"I’ve thought it all through. I want to transform those tens of thousands of acres into a high-yielding grain breeding base. That way, Xiliang won’t need to continue transporting high-yielding grains from Beijing. The fortresses will also be able to promote this."

Now, high-yielding grains are distributed by the authorities, mainly prioritizing the fortresses, and the common people hardly have a chance.

There is no other way, the fortresses have the task of supplying the Border Army’s grain and must be served first.

As for the common people, it’s not that they can’t buy any at all. The Four Seasons Seed Store that Daohua opened is able to sell them, just in very small quantities.

Seeing Daohua having such plans, Xiao Yeyang naturally supported with both hands: "As long as you are confident about it."

When Daozi saw his parents talking and ignoring him, he immediately made "Ah ah" sounds to make his presence known.

Daohua looked at her son with a smile, feeding him the last spoonful of milk: "All gone."

Daozi stuck out his small, capable tongue, licked his lips as if he wanted more, but did not fuss for more. First, his stomach was already full, and secondly, he knew his mother would only feed him a small bowl each time, and fussing would be useless.

That night, after Daohua put Daozi to sleep, Xiao Yeyang carefully moved the child onto the small kang bed. A railing had been installed beside the kang so that they didn’t worry about the little one rolling off.

"Is this okay?"

Daohua was somewhat worried: "What if the little one kicks off the blankets at night?"

Xiao Yeyang was also somewhat hesitant: "He won’t; the little stinker’s sleeping posture is quite good." Seeing Daohua was very concerned, he said, "Let’s try it out for tonight."
