Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

At dawn the next day, I heard the chirping of birds outside, which was disturbing. Chen Afu turned his head and saw that Dabao was still sleeping soundly, so he put on his clothes and went out.

When I came outside, I found that it was raining lightly at night. It was so quiet that I didn't hear it at all. The birds on the trees all stopped at the porch, densely packed in a large area. They are not afraid of Chen Afu now, and they keep chirping at her.

Chen Afu went to the kitchen, grabbed two handfuls of brown rice, and spread it on the west wing porch. When they saw it, they all flew there to grab food like crazy, just like domestic chickens.

Since Dabao didn't have to go to school today and got up late, Chen Afu waited until he got up at the end of the morning before the two of them had dinner together.

After dinner, Chen Afu wanted to go to Luyuan, but Dabao was very stubborn and refused to go, saying that sister Yaner must have been angry yesterday and he wanted to comfort her.

Chen Afu agreed, thinking that Chu Lingxuan should be a man of grace and would not inflict his unhappiness on adults on his children. From now on, adults should keep their distance, but it’s best for children to stay the same as before.

However, in the eyes of Chu Lingxuan, he is like an ant in a basket. Can the initiative be in his own hands?

She went to Luyuan alone with an oil-paper umbrella.

Chen Ming and Lao Zengtou went to Laohuai Village, Zhongning County together yesterday and would stay at a tenant's house for a few days. The two hundred acres of rapeseed there were about to be harvested, and they were going to watch. In fact, it was not necessary to watch, but Chen Ming wanted to learn more, so Old Man Zeng went with him.

Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang making a coat for Chen Ming. When she saw her daughter coming, she happily pulled her to the kang and sat down with him.

Chen Afu told Wang about Wang Cheng. There is no Wang Cheng in the dead list, so it can only be heard as good news.

Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and said, I hope your uncle is still alive. Even if we can't find him, it's good to know that he is alive.

Seeing Wang's slightly older face, Chen Afu blamed himself for a while. Last year, she thought about making some skin care products containing agarwood for Wang, but she was so busy that she forgot about it. When the time comes, discuss with Jin Yanzi to see what stuff on Yan Agarwood is suitable for beauty.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while. Chen Ye and Hu's health is still not good now. Chen Ye can walk and move, but he can't do heavy work and feels short of breath. Mrs. Hu couldn't sleep all night, always feeling like someone was going to burn her with a red-hot iron. She also spent most of the day lying in bed, unable to do any housework. Her behavior forced Chen Aju to come out. She was the one who helped the Gao family to serve the entire family. The Chen family has more than 20 acres of land. Chen Agui could not handle it alone, so he hired a long-term worker to help. When the rapeseed is sold for money, Chen Ming will buy a strong young bull for Dafang, and so on.

Wang left Chen Afu to eat in Luyuan again and asked someone to call Dabao. Chen Afu had no idea and returned to Fuyuan.

By now the rain had stopped, the house was quiet, and the birdcages were empty. Qiuyue said that Golden Swallow led the birds out to play, and even Zhui Feng followed.

Chen Afu nodded. Even Zhui Feng has gone. They may have gone to Honglin Mountain again. Maybe they won’t be able to come back tonight.

Chen Afu went to the warehouse to look for materials.

She found a piece of blue-gold floral brocade with dark patterns and sat in the west room to cut clothes for Chu Lingxuan. The clothes of ancient people are not like the clothes of modern people, which must fit well. In ancient times, you only needed to know the approximate height and fatness to do it. Especially for men, if you have a jade belt, it doesn't matter if you are fatter or thinner. There is no material suitable for making plain clothes for the family at home, so Aunt Zeng will go to the county town to buy some tomorrow.

Chen Afu had too many things on his mind and worried about gains and losses. He pricked his hands from time to time, and the ouch sounds made Xia Yue and Qiu Yue beside him feel tight.

Qiuyue said, Miss, if you can't calm down, please wait and do it again. My heart aches when I hear your voice.

Chen Afu shook his head, but still kept his head down.

Aunt Zeng came again to ask what to eat for lunch. Chen Afu didn't even raise his head and said, Aunt Zeng can figure it out.

At this time, Shanzi came to report, Miss, we have a guest.

Who? Chen Afu didn't even raise his head. When someone comes home at this time, most likely it will be someone from the village.

It's Mr. Chen. Shanzi whispered, He is in the yard.

Chen Afu was startled, raised his head and looked out the window, and saw Chen Shiying, wearing an ice blue brocade robe with bamboo patterns, standing in the middle of the yard, staring blankly in the direction of Luyuan.

He was tall and tall, with peerless grace. The breeze rolled up the hem of his clothes and lifted a lock of long hair hanging from his ears. It was like a banished immortal with excellent temperament, standing there and gazing affectionately.

Why is he here again?

Thinking of Mrs. Wang who was making clothes for Chen Ming, she had just calmed down from the mess caused by the Chen family's mother and son. Chen Afu didn't want her to be disturbed again. Then he stood up and told Qiu Yue, Let the family know clearly that Mr. Chen's visit to the house should not be told, and then call the carriage he is sitting in into the yard.

Then he got up and walked out of the room and said, Mr. Chen, didn't we already agree that you should not disturb our peaceful days if you have nothing to do?

Chen Shiying looked at Chen Afu and felt that her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for several months, seemed to have grown taller and her beautiful little face became brighter. Although she was only wearing a half-worn crimson muslin jacket, and her face was not rouged at all, it was as beautiful as a water lotus and had a different kind of charm. This girl who did not grow up beside him is the one who is most like him.

There was a bit of love in his eyes again, and with a smile on his face, he said, Fu'er, dad misses you and comes to see you.

The voice is gentle, like a gurgling stream, and is highly discerning.

This place is close to Luyuan, and if the voices in the courtyard are slightly louder, they can be heard over there. Chen Afu had no choice but to say, Master Chen, please come in. If you have anything to say, we can talk in the room.

Chen Shiying entered the upper room first, followed by Chen Afu. Another servant of Chen Shiying came in with two large brocade boxes, placed the brocade boxes on the table, and then left.

The other servants were very wise and did not follow.

Chen Shiying sat on the Arhat bed, and Chen Afu made tea for him with his own hands, and brought him sugar and dried fruits. She didn't want to sit down and really didn't know what to say to this biological father. She was not the original owner, and she couldn't accept such gentle fatherly love from this father.

Chen Shiying looked at Chen Afu walking around, pointed to the other side of the Luohan bed and said, Fu'er, stop being busy, sit down and talk to daddy.

Chen Afu had no choice but to sit on the chair next to him, with two chairs in between.

Chen Shiying said to Chen Afu, Fu'er, at the end of next month, you will be sixteen years old. Alas, my father made an oversight and made you mother and daughter suffer...

Chen Afu raised his head and said, Mr. Chen, you made your meaning clear last time. I also know it and accepted the 'compensation' you gave our mother and daughter. So, there is no need to say it anymore.
