Chapter 124 Progress

Chen Afu shook his head and corrected, "That's not talking slowly, that's singing a song, a song, a song."

"Song..., more." Chu Hanyan said.

Chen Afu sang it again. As soon as the voice stopped, Chu Hanyan said again, "More."

It's not good to keep singing.

Chen Afu said, "It's not enough for only auntie to sing. Sister has to learn to sing too. When Jinbao comes back, he will find that sister can sing a song, and it's about him. He will definitely be happy, maybe he will accompany sister at night..."

He didn't care whether she could understand or not, and kept talking.

Then, he stood up and said, "The first class today is..."

At noon, when Aunt Luo brought people to Yiran Courtyard to deliver food, she was shocked by the scene in the yard.

Chen Afu was standing under the ginkgo tree, Yan Jie'er, Dabao, Luo Mei, Luo Mingcheng stood in a row opposite her, and Qiqi and Huihui stood between them.

When Chen Ahfu said something, the children and the two parrots followed suit, and the children also clapped their hands rhythmically while they spoke. Of course, Chu Hanyan didn't say anything or clap, she just stared at Chen Ahfu blankly, but her lips moved from time to time. She got impatient, so Mother Song quickly broke off a little bit of golden silk cake and fed it to her mouth.

Little swallow, wearing a flowery dress,

Come here every spring.

I asked the swallow why she came,

The swallow said,

The spring here is the most beautiful.

After saying it once, Chen Ahfu would give two thumbs up and praise, "Well, great."

Chen Ahfu saw Aunt Luo coming with people carrying food boxes, and smiled, "The first class is over. You all performed very well, and Auntie will reward you with golden silk cake."

Then, she gave each of the children a small golden silk cake, and Qiqi and Huihui also had one each. The two little things had long been impatient, but they had been using golden silk cake to whet their appetite.

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "Master Chen, please eat here too, and then..."

She swallowed the words "go home" and smiled at Chu Hanyan.

Seeing that Chen Afu had prepared food for her and Dabao, and she was really hungry, she stayed here to eat. After Chu Hanyan fell asleep and Dabao also fell asleep on the couch in the side room, she took Zhuifeng home.

She walked fast and arrived home in about half an hour.

Wang also left some food for her, but she said she had already eaten.

Chen Ming said with interest, "I walked for half a day this morning, and I still think our place is good. The two courtyards can be used as one courtyard, and then buy the wasteland next to your courtyard and build another courtyard."

Chen Afu said, "The total land is less than two acres, and it is too small to build two courtyards. Besides, it is not bright outside the door to other people's vegetable fields."

Chen Ming said, "Then build your courtyard bigger and ours smaller."

Chen Afu shook his head and said, "It is best to build a house in one go. The two courtyards must have at least two acres of land each. Dad will look for it."

Chen Ming nodded helplessly. Although he felt that it was really unnecessary to build such a large courtyard, he still chose to listen to his daughter.

Chen Afu went back to the new courtyard to rest for two quarters of an hour. After getting up, he thought about what to do for the embroidery workshop, and drew and wrote on paper with a brush.

Since he recovered, Chen Afu would "very seriously" follow Dabao and Alu to study or practice writing calligraphy whenever he had time.

Chen Ming was amazed by her "smartness". Once, Chen Ming couldn't help it and blurted out, "Afu is so smart, just like Chen..." Knowing that he almost said something wrong, he quickly shut up and blushed.

Wang, who was standing by, also blushed and looked up at her husband and daughter at a loss.

Chen Afu knew that he wanted to say "too much like Chen Juren". Fortunately, Chen Juren was a top student and gifted. He could write poems at the age of five, which gave her "smartness" a source. In fact, the ancients also understood genetics, but they called it differently. They said "inheritance".

Seeing Chen Ming and Wang like this, Chen Afu laughed and said, "Too much like Dad, right? Grandma said that Dad was smart. If Dad hadn't been sick, he would have passed the imperial examination."

Chen Ming listened, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work with her head down.

Chen Afu's "amazing intelligence" and "amazing appearance" are very similar to Chen Shiying. With this origin, she is not too strict in learning. The same is true for painting. Whether it is animals or clothes, they are all beautiful and unique.

Therefore, no matter what she draws, Chen Ming and Wang Shi will not find it incredible.

After revising the painting, Chen Afu got up and went to Tangyuan again at more than a quarter of an hour before Shenshi.

The sun was full in the afternoon, even the autumn sun was hot. They couldn't play in the yard, so they played in the shaded corridor.

Chen Afu took a few children and Qiqi and Huihui, dancing and gesturing, and recited the nursery rhyme of "Little Swallow Wearing Flowery Clothes". Later, Miao'er, Qiao'er and two ten-year-old girls who were guarding the door also joined in. After reciting for a while, they would rest for a quarter of an hour, drink some water, and eat something.

The content of their daily "class" was just to recite the words of "Little Swallow", with dancing and speaking.

Dabao no longer wanted to play this childish game. Starting from the next day, he recited for a while and then led Zhuifeng to sit aside and read books. Sometimes he would raise his head due to the laughter over there, and then he would laugh and shout loudly, "Sister Yan'er, you are great." Then, he would put the book on his thighs and give two thumbs up to that side.

However, Chu Hanyan didn't hear most of his "attentiveness". Occasionally, she would hear it and look in his direction, and Chen Dabao would be very happy.

The older maids, including Luo Mei, knew that they were playing with their masters, so they cooperated very well. Only the little Luo Mingcheng was very depressed and unhappy. After playing for a long time, he would have memorized it long ago, but he was still repeating the same words and memorizing them very slowly, so he became impatient.

As long as he was a little slow, Luo Da Niang or Wei, who were serving him, would glare at him, and he had to continue playing with tears.

When Chen Afu saw this, he would quietly give him an extra piece of golden silk cake or other snacks during the "break" and coax him, "It's only for Cheng Xiaozi, Cheng Xiaozi is the best, they don't have any."

Luo Mingcheng laughed after hearing this.

Chen Afu's behavior made the Luo family very happy.

After three days, Chu Hanyan finally learned to say "Little Swallow, wear flowery clothes... Spring is here", and she would jump after saying it.

Although she spoke very slowly, stuttered a little, and didn't jump very high, this was a huge improvement for her. Moreover, she no longer rejected playing with other children, and sometimes she would curl her lips when she saw others having fun.

Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, thank you!
