Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Marquis heard that the hot pot you made is delicious, and I want to eat it at noon today. But today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, so it's not easy to visit, so can you please go to Tangyuan to cook it? ?”

She was embarrassed to say that yesterday the old man said that the food cooked in his kitchen was not as delicious as Chen Afu's. She and her sister wanted to come to Luyuan for dinner, but the old man dissuaded her. I wanted to come again today and was stopped by the uncle again. The uncle said, there is no reason to go to other people’s houses for dinner on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year...

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Hey, it's already a little late now. If the soup is not thick enough to make hot pot, the aroma will not come out. Let's do this. I will fry some side dishes for your old man to eat at noon. Afternoon If you have enough time, can I prepare the hot pot?"

Wei smiled and said, "That's even better. We slaves are stupid and can't serve our master well, but it makes Ah Fu suffer."

Chen Afu said a few words of humility, went to the kitchen and cut a large handful of garlic sprouts, also took a small jar of "fine bran", and went out together with Mr. Wei and the two nurses brought by Mr. Wei.

After taking a few steps outside, an old man turned around from the other side of a tree and blocked their way.

The old man looked at Chen Afu with his cloudy eyes and asked, "Are you Afu?"

Chen Afu took a closer look and saw that the old man was probably in his fifties, wearing a long gray cotton robe and a hat with ears. The robe and hat were shiny, having been worn for countless days. There were many and deep wrinkles on his face, and he looked like he was bitter and resentful, and he was somewhat similar to Mr. Wang. Then I guessed who he was.

Chen Afu asked coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing standing outside my house?"

Old Man Wang grinned and said, "Ah Fu, I am your biological grandfather. Isn't it the second day of the Lunar New Year today? I came here specially to pick up your mother and your family for a meal at my house." His attitude was particularly humble. He looks like a weak man who can't stand up straight.

"Grandpa?" Chen Afu sneered twice and said, "I have never heard my mother mention my grandpa. I always thought that he was no longer alive. If he was still alive, how could he let my mother be sold by the stepmother twice? ? How could I let my little uncle be sold by my stepmother when he was only six years old? "

After hearing this, Old Man Wang seemed to feel sad, and tears welled up in his muddy eyes. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "I can't help it. I, I can't afford to offend that damn bitch of the Ding family. Besides, after your mother married your father, didn't her life get better and better?" Even such a big yard has been built. Maybe your uncle’s life will get better and better after he leaves our poor home..."

Chen Afu no longer even had the desire to talk to him, so he interrupted him directly and said, "You don't have to go to my mother. Neither my mother nor we will go to your house." After thinking about it, he asked again, "What about me?" Where did you sell my uncle to?"

Old Man Wang groaned and said, "I don't know either. I asked Mrs. Ding, but she didn't tell me. She only said that she sold it and went to the city to enjoy happiness."

Chen Afu was filled with grief and anger, and his voice became louder, "The person who was sold was your son, not one of your pigs or chickens. You didn't care at all where he was sold? Didn't you think of a way to find out?" "

Seeing the confused look on Old Man Wang's face, Chen Afu shook his head and said, "Go away, I don't want to talk to you because you don't deserve it. You are also not allowed to go to my house and bother my mother, because you are even less worthy."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two "bodyguards" next to her glared at Old Man Wang, who staggered in fright and trotted away from them.

What a man and father! No wonder Wang's mother, before she died, would rather entrust her youngest son to her seven-year-old daughter than trust her husband.

Thinking of the grandma whom he had no chance to meet, Chen Afu also felt a little sad. To be able to teach Wang to be so kind, capable, and smart, she must be a smart and capable woman, right? How could she marry such a confused, incompetent and useless man?

Marriage in ancient times was abnormal. Most men and women did not meet for the first time until they entered the bridal chamber. After entering the bridal chamber, no matter how good her husband is, what can a weak woman do? Just accept your fate.

Watching the figure disappear into the fields, Chen Afu exhaled a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go." Then he walked towards Tangyuan.

She saw the confusion in Wei's eyes and said as she walked, "Some people may think that I am unfilial by doing this. But I just can't have even a shred of respect for that man, because he is not worthy and he is a father. "

Wei quickly said, "No, I understand you too..."

After entering Tangyuan, they went directly to Yiranyuan where Chu Hanyan lived. Wei said that in the past two days, besides sleeping at night, the two grandfathers had been playing here with their sister during the day. They are also cooking in Yiranyuan's small kitchen today.

Before entering Yiran Courtyard, you could hear the hearty laughter of Mr. Chu and the shouts of Qiqi and Huihui.

Chen Afu looked confused. When did his two little things come here?

After entering the gate, I saw the grandfather and grandson standing in the yard. They were watching Qiqi and Huihui playing with their treasures.

When Chu Hanyan saw Chen Afu coming, she trotted towards her like a happy little swallow and shouted, "Auntie, auntie, I want to..."

Qiqi and Huihui didn't move, but they also shouted, "Auntie, auntie."

Chen Afu squatted down with a smile. She had something in her hand and couldn't hug the little girl. She could only stretch out her arms and wait for Miss Chu to jump into her arms. She smiled and said, "Auntie also misses me, very much."

When the little girl's face touched hers, Chen Afu stood up. The little girl pulled her skirt and said in amazement, "Auntie, beautiful."

Today Chen Afu is wearing a peach red satin jacket with rabbit fur on the front and a bright red pleated skirt embroidered with phoenix tail flowers. Although she didn't wear any makeup, her red clothes made her face look as pink as peach blossoms in March.

After hearing what the little girl said, Chen Afu looked down at the little girl and said with a smile, "When did Auntie stop being pretty?"

What she said was a joke, but the little girl didn't know it, and her aunt intuitively asked her another question. He thought about it seriously, but couldn't remember it anymore, so he pouted and said, "Yeah, when... is it? Sister... I don't know..."

The old Marquis laughed heartily and said, "Little girl, you have posed a difficult problem for my great-granddaughter." He then said to Miss Chu, "My great-granddaughter, if you can't remember it, don't think about it. This shows that Chen Master is always pretty...well, pretty."

The old Marquis' words made everyone in the yard laugh, and even Chu Lingxuan laughed. He was a little puzzled. This girl was a bit thick-skinned. Even if she was telling a joke, she would praise her beauty in public. He also looked upright and aboveboard, not at all coy or pretentious.

However, he couldn't deny that she was really good-looking, with bright eyes and white teeth, and fair skin. The key was the elegant and fresh look that radiated from the inside out...
