Chapter 126 Chapter 125 Legs Healed
Wu Changsheng looked at the hurried figure in front of him and felt very sad.
Before, his parents had always disagreed with him and Ah Fu. Later, his father saw that Ah Fu was capable and his son was determined, so he relented. But for some reason, his father's attitude suddenly changed the day before yesterday, and asked his mother to find him a marriage. He also said something like not to mess with Ah Fu, that kind of girl was not what they could dream of.
Wu Changsheng's mother had always wanted to marry her niece to him. After listening to the man's words, she hurried back to her parents' home to make arrangements.
But Wu Changsheng didn't like that cousin. He thought she was like most girls in the village, with a dark complexion and a thick waist. She was not as fair and beautiful as Ah Fu, and she didn't have that special charm that made his heart beat wildly at first sight.
His mother said that girls like his cousin could work and give birth. Whether he agreed or not, the parents of both families would decide, and they would make a decision in a few days...
Chen Ah Fu slowed down when he saw that Wu Changsheng didn't catch up. He said to Dabao, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Dabao nodded in agreement. He was still a little confused and asked, "Mom, our family has such a good relationship with Grandpa Wu's family, why did Uncle Wu want to harm you? He used to be very good to us. And Xiao Shitou, should I still be good to him? I really don't want to leave him."
Chen Afu couldn't explain it either, and said, "Children don't understand adult matters. Just remember to stay away from Uncle Wu in the future, and don't take anything he gives you. As for Xiao Shitou, you should be the same as you were before."
Before they got home, they saw Alu standing outside the fence gate looking at them from a distance. The little boy was covered in the sunset, waved to them happily, and walked a few steps forward.
Dabao said in surprise, "Mom, look, my uncle is walking without crutches. He doesn't need a cane anymore, and he can go to school in a few days." After that, he ran towards Alu, shouting.
Alu would occasionally throw away his crutches and walk a few days ago. Although he still limps a little, it is not as bad as before the bone was broken. The slight limp is also because the muscles in his legs have atrophied due to not moving much for a few months, and he is used to walking with a limp. He will pay more attention and walk more in the future, and he will get better slowly.
Chen Afu feels very accomplished. He has been traveling here for more than half a year. His family life has improved a lot, and A Lu's leg has also been cured. Jin Yanzi said that if Chen Ming eats green bird's nest for another two months, he will be completely cured.
Of course, this is mainly thanks to the unknown hero Jin Yanzi.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen Afu held Dabao in one hand and his younger brother in the other, and they happily entered the courtyard.
Chen Ming pointed to a large basin of pork offal and said with a smile, "Dad bought so many things today, your mother has already washed them. You can braise them tonight, and I will take them to your uncle's house tomorrow."
The second branch of the Chen family will have a dinner party at the first branch tomorrow. The guests have been invited. Not only the Luo Guanshi and his son who helped, and the people from Tangyuan and the tenants who came to help that day, the village head of Xiashui Village, Gao Lizheng, Wu Mujiang and his son who participated in the fight, and the powerful Hu Laowu, even the county town's Xia Kuai were invited. Adding up, there are nearly fifty people, at least six tables will be set up.
The first branch started preparing the day before yesterday. This time, Hu Shi did not dare to make trouble. She led Gao Shi and A Lan to work, and also pressed Chen Aju to keep the fire. After all, Chen Ye was happy and invited Hu Laowu. She hoped that the relationship between the husband and uncle could be eased through this dinner party. In addition, two taels of silver, the most expensive wine and braised food were still sent by the second branch, and it was estimated that one tael of silver could be saved.
This time, it was Hu Laowu who went to the county town to invite his fourth brother-in-law, Constable Xia.
Hu Laowu's fourth sister is also the fourth sister of the Hu family, but Constable Xia, except for Hu Laowu, does not look down on other poor relatives of the Hu family, and is not close to Chen Ye's brothers-in-law, and rarely interacts with them. This time, when he heard that Luo Guanshi and his son from Tangyuan were going to have dinner, Hu Laowu said a lot of good things, and he agreed to come to the banquet.
Hu Laowu knew that Chen Ye wanted to curry favor with Constable Xia, so he said that he would be responsible for inviting Constable Xia, which also made Chen Ye less prejudiced against Hu Laowu.
During dinner, Chen Afu said that she also had her eyes on the small shrub forest near Tangyuan. She gave several reasons, especially emphasizing that it was close to Tangyuan, so she was not afraid that bad people would come to rob her because she had few people. She also said that although the wasteland was good, it was not surrounded by villages in front and shops in the back, and others would not rush to help in the first time if something happened.
Chen Ming thought about the fight by the stream last time, and nodded in agreement, saying that he would go to Gao Lizheng to measure the land the day after tomorrow.
After dinner, Chen Afu and Wang Shi began to get busy. They braised pork belly, spare ribs, large intestines, pig liver, pig trotters, peanuts, dried bean curd and kelp.
She also started another small pot, and braised some non-meaty dried bean curd, kelp, peanuts and other vegetarian dishes, which she would take to Tangyuan tomorrow to give to Master Chen and make snacks for the children.
The small oil lamp in the kitchen was even more dim in the mist, illuminating the busy figures of Wang Shi and Chen Afu.
The yard was brightly lit by the stars. Although there was no moon tonight, the autumn night was deep and the stars were bright. A Lu no longer needed a cane to walk, and he was very excited. He played wildly with Dabao, two parrots and two dogs in the yard. Wang Shi went to the door from time to time to remind A Lu to be more careful. She scolded him, but her expression was relaxed. Her son's leg was finally healed.
When Chen Ahfu saw that the dried tofu and pork liver were cooked, she fished them out and cut half a bowl. She took the bowl to the yard and waved to them, "Boys, come here to satisfy your cravings."
The animals in the house were either male or female, and they were all boys.
Zhuifeng and Wangcai rushed over first, while Qiqi and Huihui flew to Chen Afu's arm and pecked at the bowl.
"Don't snatch." Chen Afu slapped the two greedy parrots down.
Qiqi became more and more angry and kept calling Chen Afu a "stinky woman".
Chen Afu was so angry that he kicked it and said with bulging eyes, "If you curse again, I won't give you food."
Qiqi was so scared that he jumped and shouted, "Mother, mother."
Huihui laughed again in the voice of old lady Chen.
After he (it) stood up, Chen Afu took turns to feed the family.
Seeing them like this, Chen Ming laughed out loud, and Wang's eyes were less sad and she laughed too.
This is a poor family, there are not so many trees, bamboos, flowers and plants, not so many bird cages, and not so many maids and women. There is no deliberately piled "vitality" here, but it is full of vitality and fun everywhere and at all times.
Afterwards, Chen Afu cut the braised dried tofu and kelp into small cubes and put them into two large bowls with peanuts, which he was going to take to Tangyuan tomorrow. Because Abbot Liaochen was there, Chen Afu did not bring any meat dishes for the children.
He also put in a small bowl of peanuts and diced pork belly, and prepared to secretly take them to the space at night for Jin Yanzi to eat.
