Chapter 177 Lively and Lonely
This year, the second and third bedrooms gave many gifts, Hu and Chen Aju did not look for trouble, and the Chen family enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner very happily.
Of course, Hu's emotional reminiscences were indispensable at the dinner table, and Chen Ming and Chen Shi sincerely thanked their big brother Chen Ye. Chen Ye was also happy. What he wanted to see most was this scene. The three brothers were in harmony and the two younger brothers were closely united around him.
Chen Ye told Chen Ming again and asked him to find a way to invite Guanshi Luo and his son to Hu's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Hu Laowu invited guests, including Xia Baotou from the county town, several nearby Lizhenghe landowners, including the Chen family brothers, and went to Tangyuan to invite Guanshi Luo and his son. Everyone else readily accepted the invitation, except for Manager Luo and his son, who said it would depend on the situation and were undecided.
Because of Hu Laowu, Chen Ye now has a warm relationship with Xia Baotou, and even visited Xia's house. Hu Laowu asked him to talk to Chen Ming and find a way to help invite Manager Luo to the Hu family.
Chen Ming accepted Hu Laowu's affection, so he agreed, saying that if Guanluo had nothing to do that day, he would definitely invite him to Hu's house. If Manager Luo has something to do, he will also find a way to invite Manager Luo to go.
After dinner, Erfang will go back to Luyuan. Chen Atang and Chen Dahu heard that the firecrackers bought by people in Tangyuan were better, not only loud, but also had beautiful flowers, so they wanted to follow them to watch the excitement outside Tangyuan. Dabao and Alu took them with them. When passing by Xiao Shitou's house and Sixi Zi's house, he called the two children out again.
Chen Afu asked the children to play between Fuyuan and Tangyuan, where there was a large wasteland. Chen Dabao ran to the back of Tangyuan again and called Luo Mingcheng and several other children from Tangyuan servants and Sheungshui villagers over. Those children usually played on the boundary of Sheung Shui Village behind Tang Yuan and rarely came to the front of Tang Yuan, so this area seemed particularly quiet.
After Chen Afu and others returned home, they cleaned up the living room. They will have dinner in this room during the Chinese New Year. Moreover, two tables were set up, and the master and his servants would all eat here.
Hearing the laughter of children, the sound of firecrackers and the barking of dogs outside, Chen Afu was very satisfied. Children represent hope, and excitement represents prosperity. She hopes that this peaceful land will be full of hope and prosperity from now on.
She also brought a bowl of freshly fried crispy meat and went out to feed them, and saw Qiqi and Huihui running over to play. Children, dogs, and birds all lined up with their mouths open, waiting for Chen Afu to feed them. Qiqi still wanted to squeeze her, but was pulled back by Dabao.
Chen Afu smiled and fed each person one by one. When I looked up, I saw the vermilion gate of Tangyuan opened in the distance. Chu Hanyan, wearing a red cloak, was standing at the door, looking at it with envy. Although she was followed by Mama Song and Miao'er, she still looked lonely and lonely.
Chen Afu waved to her, and she hesitated for a moment before walking towards here. It seems that Song's mother and Miao'er don't approve of the young master's passing. She is a lady of the family, and they are afraid that the children of the servants and the villagers will disturb her. But when they saw Chen Afu waving, they didn't dare to stop him and had no choice but to follow Chu Hanyan.
Chen Afu knew what they were thinking, and also knew the gap between the daughters of princes and the children of villagers in this world. But considering that Miss Chu is still young and has this disease, every opportunity should be used to encourage her to be gregarious. Now she is in the countryside, and there is no lady here who matches her status. Just because there is no one with the right identity, she cannot be prevented from joining the group. That would be a waste of food.
However, Chen Afu did not feed the little girl the few pieces of crispy meat left in the bowl. The little girl was so pampered that she couldn't be allowed to open her mouth to eat in the wind, and the crispy meat was already a little cold.
She fed the meat in the bowl to those rough guys, smiled and wiped off the silver thread running down the corner of the little girl's mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered, "Auntie will take you to my aunt's house to eat good food later."
When the little girl heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Afu also stood here and watched those boys acting crazy. When the children saw such a beautiful little girl watching them, they became even more cheerful, making Chu Hanyan giggle.
The little girl is laughing more and more now, and her voice seems to be getting louder.
Chen Afu felt that the time was almost up, so he invited the children to his home. One person treated them to a few slices of bacon and braised pork, and put some candies and melon seeds in their bags before sending them out. Because there were many people in Dahu, he let them go back to the village by themselves.
After Chen Afu gave Miss Chu some braised pork, he took out a food box. There was a small pot of braised pork and three shredded cold dishes inside, and Miao'er was asked to take them to Tangyuan. Both her grandfather and grandson liked to eat these two dishes.
The little girl obviously didn't want to leave. Chen Afu knelt down, gently pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Today is the Chinese New Year, so I have to eat the New Year's dinner at my own home. When I come to my aunt's house tomorrow, my aunt will cook something delicious for you. "He put a red envelope with six silver peanuts in her arms, touched her bun and said, "This is the New Year's money given to me by my aunt. I put it under the pillow to sleep today, and I will give it to you next year. Be healthy and happy.”
After hearing this, the little girl patted her chest and left reluctantly.
After they left, Chen Afu asked Zeng Xiaoqing to take a food box and send it to Steward Luo's house. This was the braised meat given to them by his family.
Afterwards, the whole family sat down to the living room to have a reunion dinner, with the master at one table and the servants at another. A kang table was also placed on the ground. Zhuifeng and Wangcai squatted on the ground to eat, while Qiqi and Huihui stood on the kang table to eat.
Shi'er Shanzi would take Alu and Dabao to set off firecrackers outside the yard. As soon as they ran out, the two dogs and two birds would also run out, making it very lively.
Seeing this lively scene, Chen Ming's eyes turned red. My family has prospered.
However, there was one "person" who was particularly unhappy. Chen Ahfu often flashed the image of Jin Yanzi crying in his mind. The louder the firecrackers, the more her little body twitched, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Yes, it was the New Year, and everyone was happy. Even Zhuifeng, Qiqi, and Huihui were louder than usual, but the little guy was alone in the space, and he was lonely.
Originally, Chen Ahfu wanted to play with Chen Ming and Wang later, but now it seems that he has to put Dabao to bed early so that he can go into the space to accompany the little thing.
At about the time of Xu, after eating dumplings, Chen Ahfu used the excuse of being tired to take Dabao, who was still in high spirits, to the west wing, and asked Zhuifeng, Qiqi, and Huihui to go back to the house to sleep. Qiqi, who was having fun, was unhappy and called her a "stinky bitch", which made Chen Ahfu so angry that he flicked his head twice.
Dabao was crazy all day, and although he didn't want to sleep, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Chen Afu went to the space and took two small bowls of food.
Jin Yanzi was covering her head with her wings and crying bitterly.
Thank you for your reward and monthly ticket.
