The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1208 - 1030, Change

"Mom, are you going out?"

Seeing her dressed in convenient clothes, Daozi’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly ran to embrace her: "Are you going to Daoxiang Village again? I want to go too."

Ever since his younger brother and sister had their first birthdays, this was already the third time Mom had gone out.

Daohua shook her head and refused: "No, you have to go to the Academy for lessons."

Daozi pouted: "Then I won’t go today."

Daohua looked at Daozi sternly: "You need to see things through. When you wanted to go to the Academy, how did you promise your father and me?"

Daozi deflated, thought for a moment, and then said: "But when you’re gone, what about my little brother and sister?"

Daohua smiled and said: "Isn’t our elder there to watch over them? Besides, your father is off work today, so he will help look after them too."

Seeing Daozi with his head down and dispirited, Daohua explained with a smile: "The irrigation canal over in Daoxiang Village was dug last year, and this year we’re going to start trial planting the new breed of rice. Mom needs to go check on the actual conditions."

Daozi nodded: "Okay, but next time you go to Daoxiang Village, you have to take me with you." He quite liked playing at the manor, and wondered whether the piglet he raised last year was still around?

Daohua: "If you’re on holiday, Mom will take you with her."

Soon, Daohua, who had finished packing, left with her maids and elderly servants.

Daozi stood at the gate of the Prince Residence, watching his mom’s carriage leave with the eyes of one watching a faithless lover, his pouty face wrinkling up.

At this moment, Xiao Yeyang spoke: "Let’s go, Dad will take you to the Academy."

Daozi looked mournfully at Xiao Yeyang beside him and said in a tone too old for his age: "Dad, how come you took a liking to my mom who likes to run around outside all the time?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced sidelong at his precocious son and actually stroked his chin, pretending to ponder.

Indeed, how did he come to like that woman?

Silence fell for a long while...

Xiao Yeyang shrugged: "Who knows, maybe my brain got squashed by a door!" Ever since he had met her, his Yiyi seemed to love running into the fields.

Perhaps it was because of this passion that she was able to cultivate high-yield grain.

The father and son, in mutual commiseration, looked at each other and sighed helplessly at the same time.

Handed a woman who wouldn’t stay at home, what to do?

One’s own Princess Consort (Mom), you just have to dote on her!

Daohua had no idea about the little schemes of the father and son. Upon arriving at Daoxiang Village, she went straight to the Paddy Cultivation Zone.

Nowadays, Daoxiang Village had developed quite impressively. Originally, there were many uncultivated lands around, but now many people had moved nearby to settle and build homes.

Looking around, the smoke from cooking fires curled upwards, the fields were lush green, a scene brimming with vigorous life.

...

On the eleventh of May, Daozi turned six years old, and this time, he was fully satisfied to eat the birthday cake made by his mother’s own hands.

The twins were at the age when they were especially fond of treats, clinging to Daozi to feed them.

While Daozi verbally complained about the hassle of the twins, he fed the two little ones with practiced ease.

Daohua took the opportunity to say: "Before, when it was just you in the house, you could only eat a birthday cake once a year. But now that you have a little brother and sister, you can eat it one more time. Aren’t you happy about that?"

Daozi thought about it, wasn’t that the case? He nodded vigorously in agreement.

Once Daozi turned six, Xiao Yeyang stopped indulging him, specially asking the Prince to invite a famous scholar from Beijing to Xiliang to teach Daozi.

From then on, Daozi’s carefree days were gone. Every day after returning from the National Defense Academy, he still had to be called by the family tutor to review his homework.

The National Defense Academy had a schedule of two days off every five days, and if Daozi’s homework was not up to par, his rest days would be used for extra lessons.

This vexed Daozi greatly.

But when it came to studying, whether it was from his parents or his ancestors, there was absolutely no room for negotiation, and he, having little say, could only bow his head and comply.

Apart from initially struggling to adjust, Daozi gradually got used to the teacher’s inspections. The little guy had a good memory and a nimble mind, and his playtime hadn’t decreased by much.

Now Daozi could rest assured, and he continued to live his carefree childhood, often playfully teasing his younger brothers and sisters since he had time to spare anyways.

...

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest season arrived.

On the thirtieth of July, after breakfast, Daohua was mysteriously pulled outside by Xiao Yeyang.

"What are you up to?"

Upon seating Daohua in the carriage, Xiao Yeyang began to explain, "Tomorrow is your birthday. I’m taking you out to Bamu for a breather, and to check out the market situation over there."

Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Daohua’s face, but then she composed herself, "But the children..."

Xiao Yeyang: "Don’t worry about the kids. Daozi has a few days off, and with your uncle at home, as well as so many maids and grannies, everything will be fine."

Daohua said no more, and after leaving the city, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and even stuck her head out, enjoying the wind in her face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang laughed and asked, "Do you want to get down and ride a horse?"

Daohua smiled and nodded, "Yes, it’s been so long since I’ve ridden freely."

The two stepped out of the carriage, mounted their horses, and with a crack of the whips, both horses dashed forward like arrows shot from their bows.

"Ah~"

As Daohua rode, she occasionally let out a shout. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was just smiling at her, she laughed and said, "You should shout too. It’ll make you feel better."

After arriving in Xiliang, Xiao Yeyang indeed felt a lot of pressure. These past few days, it had lightened slightly, but overseeing the entire Xiliang, there were bound to be countless vexing matters.

Xiao Yeyang shook his head in refusal, but in the end, heeding Daohua’s insistence, he shouted out loud.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop.

Afterwards, De Fu and others following behind them frequently heard Xiao Yeyang and Daohua shouting from time to time.

However, getting too carried away had its consequences - Daohua lost her voice.

Xiao Yeyang wanted to laugh at this: "I told you not to be so forceful, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve learned your lesson."

Rubbing her throat, Daohua hummed, "When we get to the inn, I’ll just need to brew some medicine to drink and I’ll be fine."

After resting at the station for one night, the next morning, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua once more to Bamubian Town.

As the town chief, Ma Teng, learned of Xiao Yeyang’s return, he had been waiting at the entrance to the town early on.

...

Today’s Bamu Town was entirely different from when Daohua first visited; it had expanded significantly and was bustling with activity.

Caravans of camels and horse-drawn wagons had nearly filled up the town entrance.

Under Ma Teng’s introduction, Daohua learned that the permanent and transient populations here had increased more than tenfold compared to before.

In the town, there were not only Daxia and Xiliao people but also merchants from other parts of the Western Regions.

Today’s Bamu Town could be described as every inch a precious commodity, with merchants all eager to have their own shops there. Unfortunately, the extended shops were all under the control of the Government Office, and only the merchants recognized by the Government Office were qualified to rent these shops.

Ever since Hu City was opened, the demand for shops had outstripped supply, and without the right connections, just having silver was not enough to rent one.

Merchants without a shop could only trade in the designated commercial areas.
