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."
