Chapter 129 Back

Chen Ye was happy at first, but when he heard that Hu was asking for things again, his face turned red and he cursed, "You bitch, I told you not to come but you followed me and embarrassed me. If you do this again, I will beat you up."

Chen Ming blushed and explained, "Sister-in-law, it's not my family that bought the servants, it's Afu's family. We don't have any plans to buy anyone yet."

Chen Afu looked at Chen Ye and the old lady and said, "Grandma, uncle, I'm designing clothes and accessories for the embroidery workshop opened by the Chu family. Sometimes I need someone with dexterity to help. Let's do this. If I design something, I'll let sister-in-law come to my house to work when she's free, and I'll pay her. But there's one thing, no matter what you make, you can't spread it out, you can't wear it or use it yourself, you have to keep it secret."

Now that his family has money, he can't help but help the eldest house. After all, they helped his family at a critical time, and helped Chen Ming even more. However, Chen Afu was unwilling to "give", and even more unwilling to be forced to "give" by Hu. If Chen Ming developed a habit, he would have endless troubles in the future.

She thought of a way to let the people in the first room earn money by themselves. Wang did the complicated things and the work with high technical content, and Gao did the simple things. She wanted to call Alan, but she thought that she was about to get married and must be busy doing her own things, so she didn't call her.

Through contact, Chen Afu was more assured of Gao, who was steady and had no evil intentions. Although Chen Agui didn't talk much, he was also a wise man.

Old Lady Chen and Chen Ye were very happy to hear this. Wang used to work in the embroidery workshop in the county town, and the money she earned every month supported a large family. If Gao worked in the embroidery workshop in the prefecture, wouldn't she earn more? She kept reassuring Chen Afu, saying that Gao was skillful and strict.

Although Hu was not satisfied, she didn't dare to say anything when she saw that her husband and mother-in-law were happy.

Chen Ye said to Mrs. Hu, "In the future, my daughter-in-law will work with Ah Fu to earn money, and Ah Lan will get married again, so you should take Ah Ju to do more housework."

At noon, the three of them also had lunch in the second room, and Chen Ye and Chen Ming drank a few cups of wine.

Before they finished their meal, Luo Yuan rushed to Chen's house. He ran out of breath and sweated profusely, and said to Chen Ah Fu, "Sister Ah Fu, go and see my sister. When she saw that you didn't go to Tangyuan today, she kept crying and shouting "I want auntie". Mother Song thought that she would be fine if she coaxed her, but who would have thought that she cried all morning and didn't even eat lunch."

Chen Ah Fu was surprised, "Sister hasn't eaten lunch yet?"

"No, not only did she not eat lunch, she didn't even drink a sip of water." Luo Yuan said distressedly.

After hearing this, Chen Ah Fu quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed Luo Yuan to Tangyuan. Dabao wanted to follow, but Chen Ah Fu didn't let him. The little girl can't leave him anymore, so he can't let her leave Dabao anymore.

When he arrived at Yiran Courtyard, the little girl was still sobbing in Song's mother's arms, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked so pitiful.

Seeing her like this, Chen Afu's eyes were red, and he took her over and coaxed her, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl choked and said, "Auntie... Dabao... South, looking for Jinbao."

I and Dabao haven't come for a day, and it has stimulated the little girl's intelligence. She even guessed that they went to the south to find Jinbao.

Chen Afu said, "Auntie and Dabao didn't go to the south. We can't bear to leave Sister, and we won't go anywhere." He held her and coaxed her for a while. Seeing that she was in a better mood, he gave her two sips of sweet water made with fruit juice, and then asked someone to bring the meal.

Chu Hanyan sat on Chen Afu, and Song's mother fed her.

Usually, after the little girl had a meal, she would hold the big swallow doll and sleep with Song's mother. But today she stayed in Chen Afu's arms, fearing that she would leave again.

Chen Ahfu had no choice but to carry her to the bedroom and said, "Sister, be obedient and lie on the bed. Auntie will sing the song of "Little Swallow" for you."

After hearing this, Chu Hanyan loosened her hands that were holding Chen Ahfu's neck.

Chen Ahfu put her on the bed, stuffed the big swallow doll into her arms, and began to sing.

This time, she sang the light-hearted and cheerful nursery rhyme as a lullaby, and sang it very slowly.

Any song, once it is slow, sounds melodious. When it is sung by her slightly low voice, it is even more melodious, and the lingering sound is lingering.

Little Swallow, wearing a flowery dress,

comes here every spring.

I asked the swallow why she came,

the swallow said that the spring here is the most beautiful.

Little Swallow, let me tell you,

It is more beautiful here now,

Yan'er has grown taller,

she misses you every day,

you are welcome to live here for a long time.

Chen Ahfu sang repeatedly, and when he sang "Yan'er", he smiled and gently touched the little girl's small upturned nose with his index finger. This made the little girl so happy that she even hummed "ah, ah" to echo Chen Afu. Although most of the time she was out of tune, she still followed some of the tunes.

Chen Afu couldn't even count how many times they sang the song. Slowly, Chu Hanyan's voice became weaker and weaker, and she began to snore.

Chen Afu saw that the little girl had fallen asleep, so he gently covered her with the Luo quilt, got up and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

As soon as she walked out of the bedroom door, she unexpectedly found Chu Lingxuan and Luo Guanshi standing in the hall looking into the bedroom.

Chu Lingxuan didn't expect that there was such a strange and beautiful song in the world, such simple and popular lyrics, and such a slightly low but extremely beautiful voice... He could feel that the lyrics of this song contained endless love and care for Yan'er.

He had been immersed in the beautiful singing, and he didn't expect Chen Afu to suddenly come out. He felt like he was caught eavesdropping. He was a little overwhelmed, lowered his head, put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly.

Chen Afu was also stunned, bent his knees for him, and whispered, "Master Chu is back."

Chu Lingxuan nodded and whispered, "I heard from Manager Luo how you taught Yan'er these days. The method is very good, and you have worked hard." He smiled again, "Well, the song just now is also very nice. I really didn't expect that Yan'er could listen to it and follow along."

Chen Afu smiled, "I always think that Yan'er is a smart child. It's just that she seems to have been locked up in her own world for a long time since she was a child, so she can't, or even doesn't want to walk out of her own world, and doesn't want to contact others, so she looks different from ordinary people. Maybe she thinks it's better in her own world, or maybe it's a kind of self-protection that she thinks."

Chu Lingxuan felt a little sad after hearing this, and sighed, "I'm sorry for Yan'er, and I rarely accompany her." He asked again, "Do you think Yan'er is a smart child?"

Chen Afu said seriously, "Of course, at least she is much smarter than I used to be." She didn't hide the fact that the original owner was a fool before, and he had seen her look at that time.
