Chapter 199 A Sweet Little Burden

Monthly ticket 200+

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Afu's illness was completely cured. In order to hide her tracks, she still pretended to be sick and stayed in the house. After another five days, on the 20th, she finally went out and went to the upper room to eat breakfast.

The family was very happy to see Chen Afu. Especially Chen Ming, who hadn't seen her since she got sick, kept urging her to eat more. Dabao started to act like a spoiled child again, sitting on Chen Afu's body when eating, and kept crying "mother" with tears in his eyes.

A Lu shamed him, "You are still a boy, how can you act like a spoiled child with your mother like this."

If it were usual, Dabao would be embarrassed. But today, he just didn't come down, and said with a pursed mouth, "It's my mother, it's my mother."

A Lu smiled, "Knowing that it's your mother, we won't compete with you."

Even Zhuifeng, Wangcai, Qiqi, and Huihui were very enthusiastic and kept shouting around her.

Chen Afu was in a very good mood.

She also told Wang that Master Wuzhi said that Uncle Wang Cheng might still be alive, and Chu Lingxuan had agreed to write a letter to inquire about it.

Wang was so happy to hear this that she kept chanting Buddha's name.

Chen Ming also told a happy news that someone had sued Zhao Lizheng of Zhaojia Village for bullying the people in the village, allowing his son to commit crimes, and forcibly robbing women. He has been detained. If the charges are true, he will not escape ten years in prison.

Chen Afu was relieved to hear this. The old man who helped the tyrant deserved retribution. Although the mastermind has not been punished, it is still possible to defy the will of heaven, but it is impossible to survive if you commit evil yourself. She believed that according to the personality of the old lady, she would definitely commit suicide.

She also reminded Chen Ming to send another ten taels of silver and two jars of wine to Hu Laowu, asking him to take care of Wang's family for a whole year. The fate of Uncle Wang Cheng was so miserable, and the original culprit was Ding.

After dinner, she went into the kitchen and made some plum blossom cakes herself. But Dabao always pulled her skirt and followed her closely, which made her feel helpless and funny.

At 15 minutes before the hour, she took Dabao, Zhuifeng, Wangcai, Qiqi and Huihui to Tangyuan. Now the alarm was lifted, Chen's old lady Zhao was watched by Chen Shiying, and Zhao Lizheng had been arrested, so Chen Afu didn't need a bodyguard.

Before arriving at Tangyuan, she saw Chu Hanyan, Chu Lingxuan, the old marquis and others coming out of the corner gate. They were about to go to Luyuan. When Chu Hanyan saw Chen Afu, she was so excited that she cried and ran towards her with her short legs.

She cried and ran, shouting: "Auntie, auntie, sister... miss, auntie..."

Chen Afu also took a few steps and hugged Yan'er who rushed over to her. Yan'er hugged her neck and cried enough, which made Chen Afu feel sweet and sad. Seeing this, Dabao also hugged her legs and sobbed.

This made the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan who were following behind laugh helplessly. It turns out that a happy thing can make people cry like this!

Everyone turned back and went to Luyuan. Because the old man and the little girl Chu had the problem of being unable to eat after eating, and Chen Afu's illness was cured, they wanted to eat at Luyuan.

After returning to Luyuan, Chen Afu first led a few children to "practice martial arts" with the animal house.

It has been a long time since they practiced martial arts, and they only wore small jackets, small cotton skirts or cotton pants after removing the heavy cotton robes. The children jumped very hard. The grandparents and everyone in the Chu family laughed continuously.

After practicing martial arts, the old marquis Chu smiled at Chen Afu, "The little girl has been ill for so long, not only Dabao and Yan'er have lost weight, but even my old man and Xuan'er have lost weight... They can't eat delicious food, and they are hungry and thin."

This heavy breathing scared Chen Afu, but fortunately the old man rounded up again. Chu Lingxuan looked normal, as if he didn't understand what she said.

Chen Afu went into the kitchen to cook, and the two little ones rushed into the kitchen without paying attention, each holding one leg, and they wouldn't come out no matter how they were coaxed. There was no choice but to let them sit on a small bench where the fire was burning. The small bench was a bit long, and the two little people squeezed together to sit, their eyes moving in unison with her movements.

These two little things were her sweet little burdens.

Chen Afu started working as a kindergarten teacher again, and sometimes she would also work as a part-time chef.

The peaceful days and good years passed in a flash until mid-February.

Fuyuan has been built to a certain scale, and the houses have been built. The beams will be put up on the twelfth. That day, it was another lively day, and many people from Xiangluo Village and Shangshui Village were invited to dinner, and even Mr. Chu went to give face. Chen Afu did not show up, and Chen Ming and Dabao entertained the guests.

Because of this big shot, the village head, landlord, Hu Laowu, Chen Ye, Xia Bukuai and others who were at the same table with him were so excited that they almost cried.

The furniture and some facilities have been prepared long ago. After the interior decoration and landscaping are completed, the furniture will be moved into the house and a children's playground will be built in the yard. It will probably be ready for occupancy at the end of February.

The old marquis will leave for the capital on the 18th. He said he would stay there for a while before coming back. He also said that he liked it here and couldn't bear to leave Yan'er, Dabao, and... Chen Xiaoyatou.

A few days ago, he asked Chen Afu for a lot of things, 40 kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice dates and snowball glutinous rice dates, 20 kilograms of biscuits, 20 kilograms of cakes, 40 kilograms of golden silk cakes, 10 cans of spicy cabbage, and 10 cans of fermented glutinous rice. A full few carts.

Chen Afu twitched his mouth when he heard this. Was this a blatant bribe? But he still prepared it for him seriously.

The day before the old man left, that is, February 17th, Chen Afu went to Shili Town. There were 500 acres of fertile land and a farm given to her by Chen Shiying. She wanted to go and see it. It would be difficult to go out if she was entangled by the little girl in the future.

The family had bought an ox cart, and Old Man Zeng was driving it, taking Xue Dagui and Zeng Xiaoqing with him. Since Dabao was crying because of the trouble on the road, he and Zhuifeng were also taken along.

The field is in Wangshan Village in Shili Town, less than ten miles southwest of Xiangluo Village. Because the village is next to Daqing Mountain, it is named Wangshan Village.

It is a coincidence that Wangshan Village is next to Zhaojia Village.

The ox cart took about half an hour to arrive. The farm is a two-courtyard house, where Old Man Lin lives with his son and daughter-in-law to manage the fields.

Old Man Lin, who is in his fifties, led his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to kowtow to Chen Afu and Dabao.

Chen Afu said, "Mr. Lin, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, please stand up."

Zeng Xiaoqing handed each of them a purse with two silver ingots.

Their family was bought by Chen Shiying in Jiangnan, and they helped the Chen family to look after the farm in Jiangnan.

The land here was bought by Chen Shiying three years ago, and because Old Man Lin was very trusted by him, he arranged it here.

Chen Afu secretly thought that this might be Chen Shiying's base for monitoring the Zhao family. No wonder Chen Shiying knew all the evil things done by the former Zhaolizheng. It turned out that he had already planted people next to Zhaojia Village.

Chen Afu was not afraid that the old man Lin's family would help Chen Shiying and sell him out, because a few days ago Chen Shiying specifically asked Chu Lingxuan to bring their family's slave contract to her.

Thank you for your support, thank you!
