Chapter 191 News
The mother and daughter were talking when Chen Ming came back. He was startled when he saw Wang's red and swollen eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother Juan, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Afu felt that Wang should be allowed to talk to Chen Ming alone, so he left the upper room.
Arriving in the south room of the west wing, the ancestors and grandsons of the Chu family were sitting on small chairs playing with the blocks on the low table. They were all so big that Chen Afu was afraid that they would trample the small chair.
When the old man saw Chen Afu coming, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "Little girl, you are smart. You can even think of this method. In this way, you can not only train the children's attention, but also their patience and observation." force."
This is a new set of building blocks, not the kind that builds a house, but the small wooden blocks are put together to draw a horse running on the grassland. After breaking up the small pieces of wood, think of a way to put them together into the starting painting. There are not only horses but also green grass and wild flowers. Children need to have enough attention and patience to complete it.
Chu Lingxuan also said, "Well, it is indeed a clever idea. Master Chen's painting skills are also very good, and this horse is very vivid. It's just that the paint is not very good. I will have someone find some good paint for you another day. "
Chen Afu needed good paint, but the good paint was too expensive and she was reluctant to buy it. Paint is also an educational tool and should have been produced by the chairman.
She smiled and expressed her gratitude.
A few people were just chatting and laughing when they heard the voices of Dabao, Alu, Luo Mingcheng and a few other boys coming from the yard. They got up. Mr. Chu Laohou then stood up and walked out, asking the boys to squat on horseback and punch.
After the old man left, Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan could no longer stay in the south room. They got up and went to the living room, where they saw Miss Chu walking out of the north room.
The little girl's face was red, like two thick balls of rouge. His eyes were still a little cloudy, and he didn't seem to be fully awake.
She did not pounce on Chu Lingxuan who stretched out her hands to her, but pounced in front of Chen Afu, crawled on Chen Afu with all four limbs on the ground, and Chen Afu picked her up.
The little girl Nuonuo said, "Auntie, the pillow... smells good, the quilt... smells good, sister... likes it, and more..."
The little girl's unintentional words revealed the secret of Chen Afu's "sweet boudoir". Chen Afu was a little embarrassed, which made Chu Lingxuan even more uncomfortable. He coughed and walked out quickly.
Chen Afu pretended to be angry and glanced at the little girl, and said softly, "Sister, remember, you can't talk about what happened in your aunt's bedroom in front of others."
The little girl said stubbornly, "It's... daddy, not... someone else."
He is your father and my other person. She was really pissed off and couldn't explain clearly.
Chen Afu shook his head, put her on the ground, and led her outside.
After playing with the children for a while, Chen Afu went to the kitchen to cook. Song's mother and Luo Mei led Chu Hanyan into the house to play with building blocks, while the Chu family's grandfather and grandson continued to teach the boys squatting and boxing in the yard. Not only do a few little boys like this sport, but Qiqi and Huihui also like it very much and follow along.
The Chen family entertained the three generations of the Chu family with food and drinks before sending them off. Dabao still pulled Chen Afful to the door to "watch off" the Chu family. The father and daughter still stood under the tree and looked back at them.
Dabao happily waved and called "Sister Yan'er, Uncle Chu". After greeting, he pulled Chen Afu and said, "Mom, I saw sister Yan'er waving to us." After saying this, he jumped up with joy. .
Chen Afu also saw a small arm waving towards them.
After they turned around and left, Chen Afu took Dabao to the upper room. Seeing A Lu pestering Chen Ming for help with his homework, Chen Ming was worried and a little impatient to deal with him. Chen Afu took Alu and Dabao to the west chamber and played with them until they went to bed, then let Alu go back to the east chamber to rest.
When having breakfast the next day, Chen Afu felt relieved when he saw that Chen Ming's expression was as usual.
People are so contradictory. Chen Afu doesn't want to see Chen Ming too happy, otherwise he will think that he loves money more than Wang. But I don't want him to be too entangled, and he will worry that they will have conflicts in their future lives.
Very few men can be open-minded when encountering this kind of thing. Chen Ming is indeed a broad-minded and upright man. Mrs. Wang has found a treasure. Living with him for the rest of her life is much better than living with Chen Shiying. At least the life will be harmonious and there will be no need for jealousy. No one can compete with a gentle woman like Wang.
Chen Afu seems to have a standard for finding a partner. Is this an "Electric Father Complex"?
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Chu family shamelessly came to Luyuan for lunch and dinner, and the little girl stayed in Luyuan for a lunch break. On the seventh day of the lunar month, after they had lunch in Luyuan, the little girl continued to sleep on Chen Afu's bed. The grandfather and grandson went back to Tangyuan to rest, and agreed to come back for dinner in the evening. They also said that they would not come here tomorrow, the eighth day of the lunar month, because they had to go to Lingyin Temple to offer incense and also went to Yingxue Temple to visit Abbot Chen.
The Chen family was relieved and could finally have a day off.
But in the middle of the day, Old Man Zeng and Xue Dagui came back from Xiaoli Village in Yi'an County, and they also brought back some bad news.
They found the house where they bought Xiao Wangcheng, but that house didn't even let them in. They only said that Li Goucheng went to the border to fight in the border more than ten years ago and died on the battlefield.
Old man Zeng and Xue Dagui had no choice but to stay in the same house and go out with money to inquire about Xiao Wangcheng.
I heard that the family that bought Xiao Wangcheng was named Li. After the wife gave birth to three girls, there was no movement. They thought they would never have another child, so they spread the word that they wanted to buy a smarter boy. At that time, an old woman came to visit his house. She was He Houhou's mother-in-law.
About half a year later, the old woman brought a little boy home. Little Wang grew up to be handsome and lovable. At first, the Li family treated him well and gave him a new name, Li Gousheng.
But in the second year, the nearly 30-year-old daughter-in-law of the family became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy in the third year. From then on, little Wang Cheng's miserable life began.
He was not fed or clothed, and was asked to do all kinds of work. If he did not do well, he would be beaten. His body was often covered with bruises. The three sisters also often bullied him and pushed all their work to him.
Little Wang Cheng worked more but ate less. Once he fainted from hunger on the way to collect firewood.
Many families in the village said that the old Li family was not authentic. They bought someone else's child, and this child "brought" a boy to their family. How could they treat others like this?
The Li family agreed to it in person, but they beat him more fiercely once the door was closed. Later, these neighbors did not dare to say anything. If they really felt sorry for him, they would secretly give him some food without being discovered by the old Li family. If they find out, they will say that he is bringing shame to the Li family and will beat him.
There was a revision in the previous chapter. At that time, I was in a hurry to write the text, so I left out a very important sentence. I added a sentence that Chen Shiying said, "Lin Bo in Zhuangzi is Daddy's man. If there is anything, just let him deliver the letter."
