The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1137 - 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. freёwebnoѵel.com

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.

"Dad, more!"

"Giggle, giggle~"

Daozi’s laughter only began to subside when Daohua finally settled into bed.

Early the next morning, Daohua was the first to get up and wash up, then she woke up Xiao Yeyang and their son.

Daozi, once he got enough sleep, was very well-behaved upon waking up; he didn’t fuss or cry. Whenever this happened, Daohua felt grateful that her son didn’t have a bad temper in the mornings.

Daohua quickly dressed her son in the new clothes she had prepared earlier, with a festive red outfit complete with a shirt, pants, hat, and shoes.

While dressing her son, she handed a similar set of clothes to Xiao Yeyang: "You wear this too. When we go out later, people will instantly know you two are father and son."

Xiao Yeyang examined the clothes and recognized Daohua’s handiwork, smiling and asking, "What about you? Do you have new clothes if my son and I do?"

Daohua smiled, "Of course, I couldn’t be the only one without. The steward has a set too, but for mother and Uncle Chu, knowing they have particular tastes, I just sent them the fabric."

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was still not moving, she urged him, "Hurry up and change, your older brother and sister-in-law will be here soon."

The Yan Residence, with just Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran, was too quiet. Daohua invited them to join for the family reunion today.

...

Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran arrived at the Prince Residence neither early nor late. Daozi was an active child, so Daohua and Xiao Yeyang waited with him at the front gate of the main courtyard.

Seeing the family of three all dressed in bright red and bursting with joy, Han Xinran laughed and said, "You all going out like this, no one would even need to ask to see that you’re a family."

After stepping inside and taking a closer look, she continued, "These clothes are so delightful. Look how adorable our Daozi is. Next year, I will make some for my two children as well."

Daohua looked at her son with a smile, "Daozi, call them great uncle and great aunt."

Daozi loudly called out, "Great Uncle, Great Aunt!"

Yan Wenxiu laughed, "Daozi can already speak so clearly?"

Daohua, helping Han Xinran along and heading towards the courtyard, said, "He can only say a few words at a time."

Yan Wenxiu remarked, "He’s still young, being able to talk like this is already very good."

Upon entering the hall and seeing Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang already there, Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran quickly went over to pay their New Year’s greetings.

Gu Jian smiled as he handed out red envelopes to both of them, and as an elder, Guo Ruomei also gave them red packets.

Then, with everyone chatting and laughing warmly, Daozi ran around playing with one person for a bit before tugging on another, creating a very cozy atmosphere.

After dinner, Xiao Yeyang picked up Daozi, "Let’s go, dad will take you to watch the fireworks on the city wall."

Yan Wenxiu looked surprised, "Where did you get fireworks?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Ministry of Works. This year, having chased away Xiliao, I specifically requested them and they were delivered a few days ago."

Gu Jian was not very fond of such things and did not go; Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang left the residence but did not go with Xiao Yeyang and his family. In the end, only Daohua and a few others made it to the city wall.

Liangdu had already spread the word that fireworks would be set off on New Year’s Eve, so many people looking for excitement had gathered near the city wall.

Seeing the dense crowd below, Daozi was visibly excited.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

One after another, the brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, greeted by the deafening cheers of the people.

Daohua, worried that Daozi would be frightened by the noise, hurriedly tried to cover his ears.

But the little fellow brushed her hands away, his eyes sparkling as he watched the fireworks in the sky, completely unafraid.

"Your son sure is brave," Han Xinran said to Daohua with a laugh.

Daohua replied with a smile, "He’s just a fearless fool."

Watching the rejoicing crowd below the city wall, Han Xinran exclaimed, "The people are able to celebrate the New Year so happily because my brother-in-law defeated Xiliao, sparing them from the threat of war. It’s my brother-in-law who has brought them peace."

"Nowadays in Xiliang, who wouldn’t speak well of the Prince Wei Yuan?"

Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and saw his brilliant smile and light-hearted demeanor as he spoke with their son. Her lips curled up involuntarily.

Xiao Yeyang felt Daohua’s gaze, looked back at her, held her hand with his free one, and they shared a smile before turning back to enjoy the spectacular fireworks in the sky together.
