The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Chapter 317: Who Wants to be Siblings with You?_1

On Taohua Mountain, a Goose Warm Stone path over a meter wide and several hundred meters long had been completed.

At this moment, Xiao Yeyang was conducting the final inspection with Daohua.

Watching Xiao Yeyang tapping here with a hoe and patching there, carefully and conscientiously inspecting, Daohua, who followed behind, couldn’t help but glance sideways slightly.

This road construction had deepened her understanding of Xiao Yeyang once again.

When they had spent time together before, it was mostly in leisure—eating, drinking, and playing together, and she had never seen him taking charge and being serious about his work.

At the beginning of the road construction, she was genuinely worried. After all, it was heavy and rough work, and she feared that he, a young master who had grown up in luxury, could not endure such hardship.

But later, she discovered that she had really underestimated Xiao Yeyang.

The man had a resilient nature; even with blisters forming on his shoulders and hands, he would grit his teeth and continue the next day, showing none of the fragility expected of a noble son.

Such perseverance might be too common among farmers to be considered anything special, but when attributed to him, it suddenly made him stand out.

This guy wasn’t just for show; he truly had substantial skills.

From drawing up plans and surveying to the actual implementation of the roadwork, this guy had his own planning and contingencies for each step. When unexpected issues arose, he could respond calmly, impressing her several times.

All in all, he was someone who could bear responsibility and was dependable!

“Do you think I should add a pavilion on the mountain?”

After inspecting the road, Xiao Yeyang stood at the top of the mountain and realized that the area only had a thatched cottage, which seemed too simple, so he thought of building a pavilion.

After asking, he didn’t hear Daohua’s reply for a while, so he turned around and saw, to his amusement, that she was daydreaming again.

“Hey, I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?”

Daohua snapped back to reality, blinked, and asked, “What did you say?”

Xiao Yeyang was somewhat at a loss for words, “What’s been up with you recently, always being so distracted?”

Daohua responded without a second thought, “You’ve dazzled me, you know. Has anyone ever told you that you look really cool when you’re serious about your work?” After speaking, she even gave him a thumbs up, not concealing her admiration at all.

Such candid praise sent a wave of delight through Xiao Yeyang’s heart. He couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased and joyful. Seeing Daohua staring straight at him made his ears feel a bit hot, and he unexpectedly felt a bit embarrassed. He hastily shifted his gaze, needing to change the subject to cover his discomfort.

“Later, I’m thinking of building a pavilion so that Grandma Gu and Master Gu can have a place to drink tea and enjoy the scenery when they have nothing else to do.”

After nearly a month of association, he had found that both Grandma Gu and Master Gu were very kind to him. This kindness felt different from that of others, always leaving him with a sense of care and protection.

He had only experienced this type of feeling with his imperial uncle, uncle, and the person from Meilin Villa.

He didn’t know if this was just his imagination, but he didn’t mind this closeness, in fact, he somewhat enjoyed it.

Daohua quickly agreed, “That sounds great, oh, and can you build me a swing, too? Next year, when the peach blossoms bloom, I’ll be able to swing amidst the ‘rain’ of peach blossoms.”

Xiao Yeyang imagined that scene and couldn’t help but chuckle, “You really know how to enjoy yourself.”

Daohua tossed her head back and proudly affirmed, “Of course!”

…

That evening at dinner, Xiao Yeyang mentioned his plan to build a pavilion and Grandma Gu smiled and nodded in agreement, while Gu Jian just gave a noncommittal ‘hmm’.

Xiao Yeyang didn’t mind either.

He had come to understand Master Gu’s nature; solemn, not prone to laughter or talkative, but actually a pretty decent person.

The next morning, Xiao Yeyang got up early to practice his swordsmanship. He had only been practicing for a short while when he felt someone watching him. He turned around and saw Gu Jian watching him silently.
