Chapter 49 Interested
Wu Changgen and Wu Changsheng drove the ox cart. The first two trips were to carry large furniture. They carried the furniture into the house and arranged it according to Chen Afu's requirements.
Once the furniture was arranged, the house looked like a home.
Looking at his new home, Chen Afu smiled with curved eyebrows. The thatched cottage was also his home.
After arranging the furniture, Chen Afu found that there were patterns carved on the side of the kang table. She pointed at the kang table and asked, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, did you send it to the wrong place?"
Wu Changgen took a look and thought it was the wrong place.
Wu Changsheng grinned and said, "No, I carved these patterns on purpose."
The patterns were plum blossoms with branches. With the decoration of these small flowers, the whole small table looked much better.
Chen Afu liked it very much and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wu, you spent a lot of effort, I should pay you back."
Wu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Sister Afu, you are too polite. I didn't spend much effort on the pattern, so you don't have to pay me. As long as you like it... Oh, I mean, Xiao Shitou often eats your food, so it's only right for me to carve some patterns."
Wu Changgen also said quickly, "Yes, yes, Afu, don't be polite."
The third trip of the oxcart was to carry stools, buckets and basins and other small items, and Wu the carpenter also came.
Chen Afu handed him the money, one tael of silver and five strings of big coins. He smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Wu, these household items are very good."
Wu the carpenter took the money and said with a smile, "As long as Afu likes it. If you want to make household items in the future, come to Uncle Wu's house again, and Uncle will give you a lower price."
He said a few more words to Chen Ming and left. Wu Changgen followed him, but Wu Changsheng was still standing there.
Wu the carpenter turned around and yelled, "You little brat, there's so much work to do at home, why don't you go back and work? Why are you still poking there?"
When Wu Changsheng heard this, his dark face turned red, and he quickly agreed, and then said to Chen Afu, "Sister Afu, if you have anything, just go to my house and tell me, or tell Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou and Dabao play well together, so, hehe..."
He ran away without waiting for Chen Afu to speak
Chen Afu was a little amused. Did the black-faced young man have feelings for her? He was the prince charming in the minds of many girls. He had a rich family and a skill. He was also relatively clean, had no bad habits, and seemed to have a good temper, which was closer to the "four good" man standards she set.
If considering among the small farmers in the village, especially after those people's concern, Chen Afu really felt that Wu Changsheng was a good candidate.
It seems that his family's conditions are too good.
Chen Afu is still relatively self-aware. If she gets married, she might still think about it. But he was looking for a son-in-law, his family was so well-off, and he had no say, so his family would not agree. Just look at the dark face of Old Man Wu.
As soon as the father and son of the Wu family entered their house, Old Man Wu hit Wu Changsheng with his pipe and scolded, "What are you thinking, you stinky boy? Ah Fu is pretty, but she has already established a female household and is looking for a son-in-law. Do you still want to be like Er Laizi and eat gigolos? Why did I raise such a useless thing like you?" Then he hit him hard a few more times.
Wu Changsheng blushed and whispered, "Ah Fu is not only pretty, but also hardworking, capable, and has a good temperament."
Wu the carpenter was so angry that he wanted to hit him again and yelled, "Is her temperament okay? Didn't you see how Er Laizi was beaten?"
"I didn't see it. If I saw it, I would also help Ah Fu to beat that bastard. It's too bullying." Wu Changsheng said bitterly.
On the day when Chen Afu and Erlaizi had a fight, he went to the neighboring village to deliver furniture. When he came back and heard about it, he felt very upset. He felt sorry for Afu, who had just recovered from her illness and was bullied by the evil man. If he were there, he would definitely beat Erlaizi.
Wu the carpenter was so angry that he shouted, "No matter what, no matter how good Afu is, I won't let you think about her." Seeing that Wu Changsheng was still stubborn, he bent down to pick up a wooden stick on the ground and wanted to rush over to hit him.
Wu Changgen quickly stopped him and said to Wu Changsheng, "Don't talk back, look how angry your father is. I said this for your own good. Afu is good, handsome and capable, but she has a female household, so it's not okay. Don't think about being a son-in-law. Our Wu family can't afford to lose this person."
The father and son quarreled so badly that Wu's mother and Changgen's wife came out.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu disapproved and said, "Changsheng, I let you do whatever you want, but this won't work. Ah Fu's madness has just been cured, and he has brought a burden with him, and he is looking for a son-in-law. Although Dabao is a good child, he can't be your son. My son is so handsome and capable, how can he be a son-in-law to someone else, and help others raise their son..." blah blah, preaching.
Wu Changsheng said in a muffled voice, "Look how anxious you are. It's not certain whether Ah Fu likes me. Humph! Anyway, I want to find someone as smart and capable as Ah Fu. I don't want anyone who is dark, rough, lazy, or stupid."
After saying that, he worked silently, and the small iron hammer made a loud "clang clang clang" sound, and he didn't say a word no matter what they said.
Wu the carpenter was so angry that he wanted to rush over to hit him several times, but was persuaded by Wu Changgen and Aunt Wu to go to the hall to rest.
Wu Changsheng's misbehavior just now was not only seen by Chen Ah Fu, but also by Wang and Chen Ming.
Wang couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, and she and Chen Afu cleaned up the new house together.
Chen Chenfu still had the habit of her previous life. She didn't like the smell of food and rice in her bedroom, nor did she like to do everything in the bedroom. Her bedroom had to be clean without a speck of dust. Even though she was poor now, she would try her best to keep it better. There were no conditions in the old courtyard, but now she could be the master of her own little world, so of course she had to arrange the room according to her own preferences.
Therefore, the east room was only used as a bedroom, and the kang cabinet was placed in this room. There was only a box on the ground, two high stools, and the bronze mirror, balsam, comb, and wooden hairpin were all placed on the box. She originally wanted to put the small kang table with flowers carved on it, but she thought that people here were used to eating and working on the kang table, so she held back.
The west room was used as a living room, with a kang table on the kang, a table on the ground, and four high stools. Eating, studying, working, and entertaining guests were all done in this room. This room was also the bedroom of Jin Yanzi, Qiqi, and Huihui, and three beautiful straw baskets were placed at the end of the kang.
Chen Ming, Wang Shi, and A Lu all expressed their incomprehension of her arrangement. They thought that the east room should be used as a bedroom and living room, and the west room should be used for entertaining guests and as a warehouse. The kang table and the table should be moved to the east room, which would be much more convenient.
Chen Afu shook her head and insisted on her own idea.
Chen Ming and the others knew that she had a big idea, so they stopped caring.
Wang finally waited until A Lu was no longer around, and whispered to Chen Afu with a smile, "Mother thinks Changsheng is interested in you. What do you think, Afu? Changsheng is a good young man, good-looking, and skilled."
