Chapter 148: Bunk Bed
As soon as Chen Afu packed up the things in the house, a large group of people from Tangyuan came with Chu Hanyan. Mother Song and Mrs. Wei took their three children directly into the west wing, while Guanshi Luo, his wife and three other men went directly to the upper room.
Today, Luyuan only invited the eldest son and a few relatives to the open dinner, as well as a few people from Tangyuan. Because Chen Afu had to take care of Chu Hanyan and had no time to work in the kitchen, he specially asked Mrs. Gao and the third grandpa's two granddaughter-in-law to help and cook together with Mrs. Wang.
Chu Hanyan was led into the house by Song's mother, and Xiao Nizi was holding a red envelope in her hand. As soon as she saw Chen Afu, she handed over the red envelope and said, "Auntie, congratulations."
Chen Afu was so happy that he took the red envelope and said, "Oh, sister, I also know that my aunt is moving today, so I want to give a red envelope. Auntie thanks me, and I also thank you on behalf of my aunt's parents. I'm very considerate."
Song's mother smiled again and said, "As soon as I finished my breakfast, I kept holding the red envelope. I said I would help my sister collect it first, but she still refused."
Xiao Nizi pursed her lips, a little proud, but also a little shy, and her little pear nest was looming.
The little look made everyone laugh. She was still embarrassed and quickly buried her head in Chen Afu's arms.
Chen Afu smiled again and said, "Don't laugh, guys, I'm even embarrassed."
Mrs. Wei hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, we won't laugh."
The little girl's fat body twisted twice before her head came out of Chen Afu's arms.
Mother Song secretly gave Chen Afu another red envelope and said with a smile, "Master Chen, don't be dissatisfied with a little kindness."
Chen Afu said embarrassedly, "It cost you money. I thank you on behalf of my parents."
The Wei family didn't give it alone because her father-in-law, Manager Luo, would give gifts to Chen Ming.
Chen Afu took off the little girl's red cloak trimmed with rabbit fur and led her to the south room. There are two basins of charcoal burning here, and a thick curtain is hung. It is not cold and is specially prepared for children.
The silver frost charcoal in the basin was delivered by Manager Luo yesterday. He was afraid that the Chen family would buy ordinary charcoal and Chu Hanyan would choke.
There was a large rectangular low table in the middle of the room, with several low chairs around it. There was also a pile of small wooden blocks of various shapes and colors piled on the table.
These are the building blocks that Chen Afu specially asked Carpenter Wu to make. He took them back and dyed them himself.
In the past two months, the Wu family and his son have been making almost everything for the Chen family. They ranged from normal furniture to abnormal furniture, as well as strange ladders and small house-like things, to inexplicable clothes hangers and small wooden blocks of different sizes and shapes... They didn't know what these things could do, although they felt strange. , but the price they offered was high and there was a lot of business, so they had fun rushing through the work.
Chen Afu led the three children to sit on small chairs and told them that these things were building blocks that could be built into houses, tables, stools, carriages, wells, etc. Then, he showed them how to build a small house.
Not to mention that Luo Mei and Luo Mingcheng were interested, even Chu Hanyan's eyes lit up and she started playing with the blocks.
As men of the Chen family, Dabao and Alu were entertaining guests in the upper room with Chen Ming. When they heard that Chu Hanyan was coming, they rushed to the west wing.
Before she even entered the house, she shouted loudly, "Sister Yan'er, sister Yan'er."
Chu Hanyan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the door curtain. Seeing Dabao opening the door curtain and coming in, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Chen Afu, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Song looked at each other and smiled. Sister, we are making progress again.
Dabao came to sit next to Chu Hanyan and started playing together. Not willing to be left out, the two parrots also ran to the table to make their presence felt. They stand on the table, and whoever's house is built will push it with his mouth, and the house will collapse instantly.
Dabao, Luo Mei, and Luo Mingcheng pushed the things they had put together, but when they pushed the "table" that the little girl had finally put up, the little girl stopped and cried loudly.
Dabao and his family were so angry that they gave them a hard time and told them that they would not take them to Tangyuan to play tomorrow. Only then did the two little guys calm down.
While they were playing, Chen Aju led Dahu and Daya into the west wing.
As soon as she entered Luyuan, Chen Aju's eyes couldn't see enough. Before, her yard was ranked first in Xiangluo Village, but when she saw Luyuan today, her eyes were opened. Not only was this big yard more beautiful than her own, it was even better than the Hu family, Gao Lizheng family, and others. Carpenter Wu's family is even more impressive.
She heard at home that Chen Afu and Chen Alu slept not on a kang, but on a canopy bed with carved patterns. She was envious and wanted to see what kind of bed it was.
She first came to the south room and saw three beautiful children dressed well. Especially one of the little girls wearing an onion-yellow jacquard brocade coat, carved in pink and jade, as beautiful as a little fairy.
She guessed that this must be the legendary young master of Tangyuan. Chen Afu's family became rich just because he fawned over this little girl.
When she saw Chen Afu leading Dahu and Daya to the table and asking them to sit down and play together, she wanted to join them.
Because the Dahu brothers and sisters were led there by Chen Afu, Song's mother and Wei Shi tacitly agreed that they would be close to Chu Hanyan. But she would not let Chen Aju get close to her, not to mention that this person seemed a bit unruly and unstable.
The two of them stretched out their hands to stop Chen Aju and said, "Little lady, don't run around. It's a sin to disturb my little master."
Chen Aju saw that Chen Afu had no intention of helping her and was not stupid enough to touch his head against the wall. She also knew that she could not afford to offend the people in Tangyuan. No matter how unconvinced he was, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he stomped out of the south room.
Chen Afu also followed to the living room.
Chen Aju said angrily, "Chen Afu, you are my cousin, and you don't help me when I am bullied by others?"
Chen Afu was a little amused and snorted, "I am still your cousin. You call me a fool every day, so I have forgotten that I have a cousin like you."
Chen Aju snorted and turned to the door. She just pushed open the door, but then she turned back and walked to the north room.
She pushed open the door of the north room and finally saw the brown bunk bed she had always wanted to see. The bunk bed was carved with diamond-shaped squares and flowers and birds, and hung with brand new pine green curtains with embroidered flowers, and the bed was covered with a pink embroidered silk quilt.
It was so beautiful, as beautiful as another world. Chen Aju stared at the bed blankly, her eyes red with envy.
In fact, this bed was really not very good. It was ordinary wood with only some flowers and a few birds carved on it. The hanging curtains and the quilts were not very good, but they were new and looked bright in color.
But Chen Aju, who had always slept on the earthen kang, saw it for the first time.
Chen Afu thought that Old Lady Chen and Chen Ye and his son were both good, so he still had to give her some advice. He suppressed his disgust for her and said, "A good life must be created with your own hands. People must be diligent, use their brains, and be kind to others, so that they can have good opportunities and live a good life..."
