Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

When Chen Dabao mentioned Jinbao, he remembered that the golden swallow he had been looking forward to for a long time had not yet appeared. He pulled Chen Afu's lapel and said anxiously, "Mother, why hasn't Jinbao come home yet? I saw many geese and swallows flying north, why hasn't it come to us yet? Has it forgotten the way home? ?”

Chu Hanyan had also been looking forward to Golden Swallow. After hearing Dabao's words, she pursed her lips and wanted to cry.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "What a coincidence. We met Jinbao on the road, and he stayed with us for two days. It's just that he missed the forest so much that he flew to play in the forest first. Maybe he can come back in the evening."

Dabao jumped for joy at first, then pouted and said, "Jinbao should think more about me and my sister. We missed him so much that he couldn't sleep well or eat, but he ran away first." Went to the woods."

Little Miss Chu didn't expect so much. When she heard that Jin Bao could find her way home, she smiled with crooked eyes.

Children are always the friendliest to children. After Li Xuan got acquainted with these two brothers and sisters, he also pursed his lips and smiled at them.

For Li Xuan's safety, naturally we cannot say that he is the emperor's grandson, only that he is the son of Chu Lingxuan's friend. Due to some special circumstances, Laitangyuan was raised by Chen Afu for a period of time. Therefore, Li Xuan is temporarily called Uncle Chu Lingxuan and Aunt Chen Afu, instead of calling them brother and sister-in-law according to Princess Zhaorong's seniority. This was discussed in the capital. Of course, I dare not let him call Dabao uncle.

Chen Afu put Li Xuan on the Arhat bed and asked the two children to play with him. She went to take out all the gifts for the two children and the Animal House, and also bought gifts for some respectable servants such as Mr. Liao and Manager Luo. This time, I didn't dare to miss Qiqi and Huihui. I bought them a special silver anklet and put it on them myself.

The two little guys were very happy. Qiqi imitated Chen Ye's voice and said, "Well, eldest brother appreciates your love."

Huihui imitated Hu's voice and said, "Oh, just so-so." It was not as smart as Qiqi, and the meaning of some of its words was not clear, and it was thought that it was praising Chen Afu.

Chen Afu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Chen Ye and Hu loved to say these two sentences when Mingjia Chen sent something to the big house. Even they had learned it.

In Luyuan, Mrs. Wang took Wang Cheng and sat on the kang, crying and talking about some of their experiences. Chen Ming felt that it was almost done and said with a smile, "Mother Juan, it's time for Chengzi and the others to check out their residence. After walking such a long way, they have to wash up."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang got up and took Wang Cheng to the east chamber. She said, "Your family will live here from now on..." She then noticed that Mrs. Wu was not walking very well and asked Mrs. Tan to help her when she was about to step in. Then she asked, "My brother and sister are not in good health?"

Wang Cheng said, "I fell ill during confinement."

Mrs. Wang quickly went to support Mrs. Wu and said, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? You can't be tired with this disease. Quickly, sit on the bed and I'll have someone make you a bowl of ginseng soup."

Seeing the anxiety and distress in Wang's eyes, Mrs. Wu was moved to tears. There are so many close relatives in my natal family, but no one even cares about me at all.

Mrs. Wang asked Wang Cheng and his family to wash up in the east chamber, and she went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Mu to make ginseng soup.

Wu was tired, so she went to bed to rest after washing. Wang Cheng took the two children to the bedroom.

Only then did Wang Xiaodi and Wang Xiaomei notice that there were three big dogs and two small dogs lying on the straw mat under the eaves of the west wing. Children all like animals, but when they saw that the three big dogs were very tall and fierce, they did not dare to go there.

Alu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you don't move their babies, they won't hurt you." Then, he led his younger brother and younger sister to stand aside and watch them.

Zhui Feng and Sa Sa immediately became vigilant. Except for their own family members, they did not allow anyone to get close to their baby. But seeing that the two people had no intention of touching the baby, they lay down leisurely. Caiwang was far away from the family of four and was dozing on his stomach.

It was already dark, the sky was full of stars, and the food was ready, but Chen Ming still didn't let anyone serve them. They had to wait for their son-in-law and his family.

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu came with three children, two parrots and a cart of gifts. As soon as they entered Luyuan, Zhui Feng and Sa Sa ran towards Chen Afu with a puppy in their mouths.

Chen Afu squatted down and took the two baby dogs from their mouths. The little guy was just ten days old and his eyes haven't opened yet. He took on the good qualities of his parents, with white fur and gray ears. If you look carefully, you will see that one has a longer nose and one has a shorter nose. They are crawling in Chen Afu's arms and humming softly.

Chen Afu said happily, "Oh my god, these are two beautiful babies. I have never seen such cute puppies."

Zhuifeng was so happy that he looked up to the sky and howled a few times. He wanted to pounce on his master, but he was afraid of touching the baby to the ground, so he had to stick out his long tongue and lick his master's clothes. Sa Sa's eyes were bright and she looked at Chen Afu without blinking.

Chen Afu smiled at it and said, "Sa Sa is so capable and gave birth to two such cute little children."

After chatting with the family for a while and giving him the braised pig bones he brought for Wangcai, Chen Afu entered the upper room.

Chu Lingxuan, Chen Afu, Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Ming and Wang again. Chu Lingxuan had already changed his tune. Chu Hanyan started calling Chen Ming and Wang "grandpa" and "grandma" today. .

Chen Ming and Wang happily gave each of them a red envelope.

The food is already on the table. Originally, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Ming, and Wang Cheng were at a table for men, and a table for women and children. But today's situation is special, and Wang was also invited to the main table.

Wu was still resting, and at the other table there was only one adult, Chen Afu, leading a group of children to eat, while Li Xuan was held and fed by Aunt Wei.

Mrs. Wang pointed to a plate of fried pickled vegetables and said, "Chengzi, this was your favorite dish when you were a child. My sister specially cooked it."

Wang Cheng took a bite and nodded, "Well, it tastes like this. I have been thinking about it for many years. Later, my younger sister also fried it, but it was not as delicious."

Wang smiled and said, "Eat more if you like." Then she kept adding vegetables to his bowl.

After Wang Cheng's bowl was piled up, Wang noticed Chu Lingxuan and said embarrassedly, "I made my son-in-law laugh. As soon as I saw Chengzi, I couldn't care about anything else."

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "Why, my mother-in-law is too polite."

Wang Cheng had just been immersed in the joy of being reunited with his sister, and Chu Lingxuan's words woke him up again. He stayed in the military camp for nearly twenty years, and even a ninth-grade petty officer yelled at him. He made the superior displeased and even got slapped on the legs. And having such an important official sitting next to him while eating, even if he was his nephew's daughter's husband, made him tremble with fear.

When he got scared, his hands started shaking again.

Chu Lingxuan was helpless and said in a coaxing voice, "Uncle, don't be afraid. At home, we are relatives, and you are still my elder. If you do this, Afu will be angry with me when you go home."

After saying that, he raised his glass with a smile and toasted Wang Cheng and Chen Ming.
