Chapter 140 Adding Makeup

During the performance, several children were quite involved.

In the room, Chu Lingxuan stood in front of the window, dumbfounded and unable to close his mouth for a long time.

What's this? It’s so weird and so fun. That Chen Afu is really a strange and wonderful person!

Although Chu Lingxuan felt that this thing was vernacular, childish, and a bit inexplicable, it was undeniable that the children had a great time playing it. Especially his daughter, she even laughed out loud. When she said "No, no, daddy will come back and open", her eyes actually looked in his direction. Let him, as a father, be proud too.

Amidst the singing and laughter, it soon arrived at noon.

Not to mention that the children haven't had enough fun, and even Chu Lingxuan, who is watching the fun, hasn't had enough.

Chu Lingxuan couldn't wait to go out and pick up Chu Hanyan and said, "Dad just realized that my daughter is so capable."

Then he said to Chen Afu, "Master Chen's method is good. Although it is strange, it can attract the children's attention."

Aunt Luo led people to bring the lunch meal.

Usually, Chen Afu led his two children to eat on the table in the living room, while the two dogs and two birds ate on the floor of the living room. Chu Lingxuan was here today, so Aunt Luo put the food for Chen Afu and her son in the side room.

When Chu Hanyan saw her father sitting in front of her, her aunt and Dabao walked towards the side room. She didn't want to and pouted, "Auntie, Dabao."

The two dogs and two birds were not used to it either. The two dogs howled wildly at him. Qiqi and Huihui also jumped on their feet and shouted, "Mother, Dabao..."

Seeing that he was so disliked, Chu Lingxuan was embarrassed to stay here to eat. Let the girl go to the side room to invite Master Chen and his son to come and have dinner with Yan'er, while he goes to the outer courtyard to eat.

After the meal, Song's mother carried the sleepy Chu Hanyan to the bedroom, while Chen Afu and Dabao left Yiran Courtyard with their two dogs and two birds.

When she came to the outer courtyard, she saw Manager Luo waiting for her.

Manager Luo handed a package to Chen Afu and said, "These are some specialties that my uncle bought in the northern border town. My uncle said that he will take a day off tomorrow. You can rest at home today afternoon and tomorrow. It's been a hard day." You." He smiled and said, "My uncle likes the braised food you made. Please make more of it this afternoon. I will have someone pick it up at your house before dinner."

As he said that, he pointed to a bucket containing pork, rabbit, and duck on the ground.

The carriage sent Chen Afu and his son home.

Chen Afu carried the bucket into the kitchen and heard Chen Ming and Wang in the west room talking about Alan's marriage.

Chen Alan is getting married the day after tomorrow, and the groom is a young man from Guqiao Village. It is said that the family conditions are not bad. They have a large tile-roofed house and more than 20 acres of farmland. They belong to a high-class household in the countryside. The marriage between these two families is considered a perfect match.

Chen Afu and Dabao greeted them and returned to the new hospital.

Opening the package, there was a small bag of fungus, a small bag of pine nuts, a small can of cheese, and a three-inch long red agate carp ornament.

Chen Afu took the cheese and pursed his lips with joy. He would be able to make more delicious snacks in the future. Then I picked up the carp ornament and looked at it. It was gorgeous and moist, and it seemed more valuable at first glance.

The chairman is quite generous to his employees and is merciless in rewarding them. Having a generous leader is a blessing for employees.

Dabao also held the ornaments and smiled and said, "Mom, this thing is valuable, right?" He then said to himself, "It's so beautiful, it must be valuable. My son will study hard, pass the Jinshi exam in the future, and buy more beautiful things for his mother." "

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Okay, mother, wait. My son, go and have a rest on the kang. When you wake up, there will be something delicious to eat."

After Dabao heard this, he went to the kang by himself. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and trousers, put it on the quilt, and got into bed. There was no kang burning during the day, so the cold made him shiver.

Chen Afu took the fungus and pine nuts to the old yard and drank two soup dumplings. After taking it back to the house and tucking it into bed, she also got on the kang to rest for a while. She just got up and went to the kitchen of the old home to make braised meat. Wang wore gloves to help her light the fire.

While she was busy, Mrs. Gao came. She said that she would be preparing for Chen Alan's marriage tomorrow and that she couldn't come. She had to do more work today.

Mrs. Gao left the door of the east room open and was talking to Chen Afu and her daughter while doing some work. It seems that Chen Aju's marriage has been discussed with several families. They are interested in someone else, but they don't like them. They are interested in them, but they don't like others.

After hearing this, Chen Afu avenged the injustice for little Afu and said, "At first, the eldest uncle and Aju said that I was a fool and recognized a son, which prevented Aju from finding a good husband. Now I have recovered from my illness and am independent again. The family didn’t expect her to find a good husband. Huh, she has to blame others for her own problems. "

Mrs. Gao couldn't speak easily, so she only smiled with her lips pursed. He added, "Today at noon I brought home one tael of silver. My family was very happy. I didn't expect that I earned so much money in a month. My mother-in-law wanted to take it all away, but refused to give it to her, saying that my two children would also When I get older, I need to keep some spare money on hand, and my father-in-law also said that it should be divided into 50 and 50. I will take 500 coins, and my mother-in-law will take 500 coins. "

What she didn't have much to say was that Chen Aju said that since Mrs. Gao was away and she helped with the work, she should get a share. Fang didn't dare to say anything after being glared at by Chen Ye, and even shed tears of grievance. She originally wanted to give Chen Aju fifty cents, but Chen Agui refused to give it, saying that he could no longer spoil her...

The braised meat was almost done, and Chen Afu fried pine nuts on the small stove. After the pine nuts were allowed to cool, Chen Afu cracked them open with pebbles and fed them to Wang and Gao. He also cracked half a bowl and kept them for Dabao and Alu.

Around the beginning of the Youshi period, Luo Yuanlai took away the braised food.

After dinner, the family of five went to the big room to add makeup to Chen Alan, and also brought a bag of soft snacks to the old lady.

They went directly to the upper room, and Hu Laowu's family of four were all here.

It was the first time that Chen Afu saw Hu Laowu's wife Fu. Fu was about 30 years old, wearing a silk cotton long dress, a silver hairpin on her head, and gold earrings on her ears, dressed like a landlord's wife. She smiled exaggeratedly and pulled Wang to call her sister-in-law, which made Wang extremely uncomfortable.

Even Hu Cuicui changed her face and smiled sweetly and called Chen Afu "Sister Afu". She shook off Chen Aju's hand and reached out to pull Chen Afu, but Chen Afu dodged. She really didn't like this little girl. She and Chen Aju had bullied little Afu a lot in the past.

However, Hu Wei's sticky eyes made Chen Afu very disgusted. Hu Laowu coughed heavily, and Hu Wei lowered his eyelids.

Hu Laowu's family also came to add to the dowry. There were two rulers on the table, one made of fine cloth and the other made of silk. In addition, there were two strings of (200 coins) of big money. This was already a large amount of dowry in the countryside.

Looking at Chen Ye's bright smile, you can tell that he was very satisfied.

After a few pleasantries, the third branch of the Chen family also sent dowry. Chen Ming's family sent two silk rulers bought in the prefecture and province and one tael of silver, and Chen Afu's mother and son sent six beautiful flowers and a set of pine wood combs. The combs were a set of six, placed in a round wooden box with red flowers, and the combs were also carved with flowers, which were very delicate and beautiful.

There was another watch in the afternoon.
