Chapter 73 Joke

Chen Afu was at a loss for words. This man's brain circuit was really problematic. She was afraid of attracting people to watch the fun, so she wanted to chase him away quickly. She shouted in a muffled voice, "My family's attitude has been made very clear to matchmaker Li. You stay away from me and don't say these inexplicable words in front of me in the future."

Wang Yingjun wanted to fight for it, but when he saw Chen Afu's face became even darker and he picked up the shoulder pole on the ground, he was so scared that he limped away.

After running two steps, he stopped and turned back and said, "It's okay if sister Afu doesn't agree. If your family has physical work in the future, let Dabao come to my house and call me, and I will help." After saying that, he ran away.

Because he was too nervous, he almost bumped into Chen Aju who was walking on the path.

Chen Aju screamed and quickly dodged, cursing, "Oh, it stinks, disgusting."

She passed by Wang Yingjun and walked towards Chen Afu. She wore a top made of bright blue satin, with a brown-yellow satin embroidered with a few small flowers pressed on the collar, a half-worn light green long skirt made of fine cloth, and blue ribbons tied on her buns. This outfit was very eye-catching among the young ladies in the countryside, and the young ladies of the landlords were no different.

She smiled and raised her eyebrows and said, "Chen Afu, oh, Sister Afu, I heard that Wang Yingjun asked a matchmaker to go to your house to propose marriage? Seeing how happy you were just now, are you going to have Sister Afu's wedding soon?"

The news that Wang Yingjun asked a matchmaker to go to the second branch of the Chen family to propose marriage had spread throughout Xiangluo Village. Chen Aju laughed so hard that she said that if Chen Afu married Wang Yingjun, she would be disgusted.

Mrs. Hu was not so happy. She touched her forehead and whispered, "Silly girl, Wang Yingjun is so stingy. If he marries Afu, not only will we not be able to get the benefits of that girl, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get your second uncle."

Chen Aju didn't care about these things, she was still very happy. She came here early this morning just to make fun of Chen Afu.

Chen Afu glanced at her, not knowing whether the satin on her body belonged to Chen Ye or Chen Dahu. No matter whose it was, Chen Ye and Hu Shi spoiled her enough. Moreover, this girl was as unloving as Hu Shi.

Chen Afu said expressionlessly, "It's too early to have my wedding banquet. I'm not as anxious as Sister Aju. Look, the man you're thinking about is here."

Chen Aju was so angry that she was about to curse, but she turned her head and saw Wu Changsheng passing by the path beside the vegetable field. She didn't care about cursing, and called sweetly, "Second Brother Wu." She quickly pulled the satin clothes, and was very happy that she was wearing this beautiful dress.

Wu Changsheng was wearing a short brown coat made of gray cloth, and he was tall and strong. He smiled over here and actually walked over. This made Chen Aju very excited, and she looked up and said sweetly, "Wu Erge, where are you going?"

Chen Afu couldn't stand her behavior. At this age, she was still a first-grade student in her previous life, but she had a face full of spring, and she didn't even try to hide it.

Wu Changsheng seemed not to hear her words. Standing outside the fence, he smiled at Chen Afu, "Sister Afu is watering the vegetable garden?"

Chen Afu nodded and called, "Second Brother Wu."

Chen Aju suppressed the hatred in her eyes and smiled at Wu Changsheng, "Second Brother Wu, I called you several times, why didn't you respond to me?"

Wu Changsheng seemed to have just seen Chen Aju, and turned his head to greet her, "Aju." Then he turned his head and smiled at Chen Afu, "I heard from Xiao Shitou that the big birdcage contains two larks. Do you need cages for the other two parrots in your family? I'll make two more."

Chen Afu smiled hurriedly, "The two parrots in my family are all spirits. They won't fly away unless they are put in cages. Thank you, no need." After that, he lowered his head to water the vegetable garden again.

Wu Changsheng rubbed his hands and made things to say. Chen Afu was busy with the work in his hands and rarely answered a word. It's not that she didn't answer, it's really that Chen Aju was quick to interrupt.

After watering the vegetable garden, Chen Afu said to Wu Changsheng, "Wu Erge is busy, I'm going to fetch water." Then he carried a bucket to the well to fetch water, this time the water was to be taken home.

Wu Changsheng saw Chen Afu leaving, and with a lonely face, he also walked towards the village. Chen Aju was still following him and talking endlessly. She was very happy today. Usually Wu Changsheng would hide far away when he saw her, and he didn't talk to her as much as today.

Chen Afu fetched water back home, and fetched it twice before the big water tank was full. Today she fetched water for the old courtyard, where the water was used up quickly, basically once every one or two days. The water in the new courtyard was used up more slowly, basically once every three or four days.

She went to the east of the new courtyard, where there were two osmanthus trees. It was the season when the osmanthus was fragrant, and many tender yellow flowers fell down when the wind blew. She swept a large tea bowl of osmanthus back.

After washing the osmanthus flowers, Chen Afu spread them out in a dustpan and hung them in the yard to dry, waiting to make osmanthus glutinous rice dates at noon. She wanted to make some at noon today and send them to Tangyuan. She would make some more in the evening and keep them for Wang to send to Mr. Yang of Xile Restaurant tomorrow, and ask him to pass them on to Yang Chao and Yang Qian.

After doing all this, she went back to her west room to rest, sitting next to Chen Dabao and watching him practice big characters seriously. It must be said that this child's concentration is rare. Qiqi, Huihui and Zhuifeng kept making trouble next to him, but they couldn't affect him.

Moreover, his big characters are very good, better than those written by Alu. Both of them were taught by Chen Ming, and they started practicing calligraphy more than two months ago. Even Chen Ming said that this is talent, and it is enviable.

Looking at his pretty little face again, Chen Afu thought that whoever lost him would suffer a great loss.

He thought wickedly that his family didn't want him anymore, otherwise how could he be so lucky? Thinking of this, he felt so happy that he turned his head and kissed his handsome face.

Dabao put down the pen and raised his head and frowned, "If mother wants to kiss her son, she has to wait until she finishes writing the big characters. When her son is studying hard, mother can't mess with him."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's mother's fault. My son will continue writing."

At this time, a man's loud voice came from the fence door next door, "Is Chen Dabao home?"

Chen Afu and Chen Dabao looked out the window and saw a carriage parked outside the door. The driver who spoke was old Yang Bo who came last time. Two little heads popped out of the carriage window. One was Yang Chao and the other was Yang Qian.

Chen Afu and Dabao went up and down to the old courtyard.

After opening the door, Chen Afu directly carried Yang Qian out of the car and invited Yang Chao, the servant Lidong, and a woman named Huang Mama to enter the courtyard. Old Uncle Yang drove the carriage to the new courtyard and parked the car.

Chen Ming and A Lu also came out.

Yang Chao greeted people and said, "My sister and I miss Qiqi and Huihui, oh, we miss Dabao and Aunt Chen even more, so we came to visit your house."

Thank you Baili Rui for the sachet, thank you Hera x-on:Qianlin for the purse.

The preface of "Jinxiu Rongmen" (the physical title of "Nongnu Jinxiu") has also been written, and I would like to share a paragraph with you:

...

Some people think they will stay together for life, but in the end they don't get together. Although there are regrets, it is the best choice. Some people's love is sad and regrettable.

The little mother and the little father are the most beautiful couple in the book. Their love story moved all readers. Their separation and reunion touched the hearts of every reader. The strong popularity of this couple even surpassed the heroine and the hero, which surprised me.

This book also gave me another surprise. When the serialization ended, I realized that it also earned many tears from readers. Some readers even said that this was the book that made them cry the most. Of course, these tears were not just tears of sadness, but more of tears of emotion.

Even when the novel was serialized, readers often said in the comment section, "I cried again," "I cried again," and so on. What I remember most vividly is a comment written by a reader. Not only did she cry, but the readers who read it also cried, and even I cried.

This is life. There are not only laughter, but also tears. There are not only reunions, but also separations... Whether you like it or not, time is passing.

I hope everyone will cherish the people in front of them, and don't just look at the hurried back in front.

...

The last two sentences above, Qingquan and the relatives encourage each other.
