Chapter 133: Grand Spectacular
After steaming the cake, Chen Afu called Dabao up. The weather dropped suddenly today, so he put on the newly made purple silk cotton jacket and cotton pants, and a tiger-head hat.
Seeing that incredibly pretty little face, Chen Afu couldn't help kissing her again.
Dabao smiled with curved eyebrows, hugged her neck and said with his tongue rolled, "Mother likes sister Yan'er more now, and she has to compensate her son. She wants two more kisses and two more hugs."
This made Chen Afu laugh and said, "People say that daughters are mothers' intimate cotton jackets, but I didn't expect that my son is also mother's intimate cotton jacket." After saying that, she kissed him on the side of the face again.
Dabao kissed her twice more before going downstairs to put on his shoes.
When they came to the old yard, they saw that Alu was dressed more decently, and put on the blue satin cotton robe at the bottom of the box, which he was going to wear to school. There were distinguished guests coming today, and little Alu also wanted to leave a good impression on them.
Chen A-Lu has the advantages of Chen Ming and Wang Shi. He is fair-skinned and handsome, a handsome boy, but a little thin.
Perhaps because Chen Ming was in poor health since childhood, he is short, and Wang Shi is not tall either, barely of medium height. Therefore, Chen Afu especially hopes that A-Lu can grow taller and stronger, and always persuades him to eat more when eating. He can't move for the first few months, and he will have to exercise more in the future.
Chen Afu held his little face and said, "Oh, my brother is so handsome, a little handsome man."
A-Lu is now thicker-skinned, and said proudly, "Sister and mother are so handsome, how can I be worse?"
Everyone laughed after saying that.
Wang Shi blushed a little and said, "Mother is old, how can you be handsome."
Chen Afu looked at Wang Shi, she really looked old. She was only 36 years old this year, but she looked like she was in her early 40s. Because Chen Ming didn't have to worry about it before, he ate and slept every day, and looked younger than his actual age. Chen Ming is only two years younger than Wang Shi, and looks much younger. Thinking that I would study Yan Chenxiang when I have time in the future and help Wang with her beauty.
After breakfast, Chen Afu started to braise spare ribs, pork liver, dried tofu, lotus root and peanuts. In addition, he cooked another pot of braised vegetarian food, which was to be sent to the old monk Wuzhi in Lingyin Temple.
In addition, he would also send him some glutinous rice dates and golden silk cakes. Steamed cakes cannot be sent because they contain eggs.
At about 3:30 pm, a carriage came to the Chen family. It was driven by Manager Luo himself, and there were five people behind.
The carriage stopped, and Mother Song got off first, then carried Yan Jie'er down. Then Wei got off, and then carried Luo Mei and Luo Mingcheng down. Including the five behind, there were eleven people in total.
Chen Afu had a headache. So many people, are they here to fight tigers?
The little girl was really grand, and she also had so many followers. She originally thought that there might be three children and two adults, but she didn't expect so many.
Manager Luo was also afraid that the Chen family didn't expect so many people to come, so he brought a lot of food.
Chen Ming and A Lu invited Manager Luo and his son, Guard Wang and Guard Li to their house, while the children and women went to the new courtyard. Zhuifeng, Wangcai, Qiqi and Huihui also went to the new courtyard.
Chen Afu brought the children into the bedroom in the east room. The kang was already heated in the room. She took off the cotton cloak outside the little girl Chu and carried her to the kang. Dabao climbed onto the kang by himself, while Luo Mei and her brother sat on the edge of the kang, and Miaoer served on the ground.
There were several plates of snacks on the kang table. After the children ate two pieces, Chen Afu put them away, fearing that Chu Hanyan would not be able to digest them after eating too much.
Wang invited Wei and Song Mama to sit in the west room. The two of them insisted on sitting in the kitchen in the middle, and opened a crack in the east room so that they could go in and serve at any time. After settling them, Wang had to go to the kitchen of the old courtyard to work again, so Wei took the initiative to help Wang.
After settling the children, Chen Afu went to the old yard and handed a pot of braised food and a pot of snacks to Luo Yuan. He immediately got up and drove the carriage to Lingyin Temple to deliver them to Master Wuzhi.
After Chen Afu returned to the house, she sat on the kang and hugged the little girl to tell the story of "Little Rabbit". She told it three times, and the little girl finally responded. When she heard the big bad wolf shout "open the door", she would pout and say, "No". Although she shouted after the other children shouted, she also shouted.
However, the little girl was interested in it. As soon as the story was finished, she would say "still... want".
Chen Afu told it at least a dozen times. He was complaining in his heart. In this way, not only he was still working, but also his whole family was working. It seems that if the little girl's relatives are not here, he must take the initiative to ask to work overtime in Tangyuan.
Manager Luo was embarrassed to see this situation. The village was too far away from Tangyuan. He was afraid that the young master would have an accident, so he had to bring so many people to serve.
While they were making noise, another carriage came to Chen's house. It was Yang Mingyuan with his two children.
Chen Mingying left the yard, and A Lu ran to tell Chen Afu that Uncle Yang from the county town had come with two children and Chef Kang.
Chen Afu quickly said to the children, "Okay, the first class is over, get out of class is over."
Now the little girl also understood that as long as the class was over, she would be free to move around and drink water and eat snacks. Mother Song brought fruit juice from home, but the little girl just wanted to drink the hawthorn water boiled by Chen Afu.
Chen Afu and Dabao went to the old yard. When Yang Chao and Yang Qian saw them, one went to hug Dabao, and the other pulled Chen Afu's skirt and shouted for a hug.
Yang Chao also said to Dabao excitedly, "My dad said that we can stay at your house today and play for one more day."
Hearing that they were coming to cause trouble, Chen Afu's scalp was numb, but he couldn't say no, so he had to smile and said, "Okay, welcome." He looked up and smiled at Yang Mingyuan, "Uncle Yang has been busy recently."
Yang Mingyuan smiled, "Really busy. I want to open a restaurant in Dingzhou Prefecture. I went there a few days ago and was so busy that I didn't go home until yesterday." He kept it a secret and said, "Mrs. Chen, guess who I met?"
"Who did you meet?" Chen Afu asked.
"It was Uncle Chen San, the owner of Chen San Lu Chuan. We met by chance, and after a long chat, I found out that he is your uncle."
Chen Afu smiled, "That's a coincidence. Please take care of my uncle in the future, Boss Chen."
Yang Mingyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Mrs. Chen, you are too polite. Uncle Chen San has been in the city for many years and has done a great business. I still have to learn from him." After a pause, he said, "Mrs. Chen, I came here this time to discuss a big business with you..."
Big... business?
Chen Afu was just confused when Manager Luo came out. He also knew Yang Mingyuan and laughed loudly, "Boss Yang is here too, please come in and sit."
Yang Mingyuan quickly bowed to Manager Luo and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, nice to meet you." Then he went into the house.
Chen Afu and Dabao took the Yang brothers and sisters to the new courtyard.
The Yang brothers and sisters were well-educated, and they were not afraid that they would disturb Chu Hanyan. As a result, the two brothers and sisters gave Chen Afu an unexpected surprise.
