Chapter 294 Great Joy

After hearing what Chu Hanyan said, Dabao blushed a little and quickly said, "I didn't feed it alone. My uncle, grandma, and Aunt Mu all fed it."

Chu Hanyan looked at him admiringly and said, "But my brother fed the most, didn't he?"

Dabao twisted his fat fingers in a tangled way. Looking at his sister's admiring eyes, he really didn't have the courage to deny it, so he nodded.

Chu Hanyan smiled very proudly, thinking that the pig was fed by Dabao, that is, she fed it.

In the evening, Chen Afu made a lot of meat dishes. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, the little girl Chu ate so much that Chen Afu and the old marquis both said that she didn't continue to eat. At the same time, Chen Afu also promised that some of the meat must be left for her father so that her father could eat the most fragrant meat.

In the twelfth lunar month, the old marquis Chu will prepare things to return to the capital. This time he will go back not only for the New Year, but also until Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu get married in the capital in February before returning. Chu Lingzhi will go back with him to pay.

Not only Chu Hanyan was reluctant to leave, but also Dabao, Chen Afu and Alu were reluctant to leave.

Chen Afu would not express it as nakedly as the children, she just changed the way to cook the food that the old man and Chu Lingzhi liked.

On the tenth day, the old man took Chu Lingzhi away, and Luo Guanshi, who brought several cars of Tangyuan to send the Houfu New Year gifts, and Afu's family also sent the Houfu New Year gifts.

Chu Hanyan moved into Fuyuan again, and Dabao and Alu continued to go to Tangyuan to take classes with Mr. Liao.

Then, another big happy event happened in Fuyuan, that is, Sasa was pregnant. Not to mention that Zhuifeng was arrogant, everyone in Fuyuan and Luyuan was extremely excited, and Chen Afu even prepared a nutritious meal for it during pregnancy. Qiqi and Huihui no longer competed with Sasa for favor, because she could give birth to a baby, which was indeed more capable than them.

Chu Hanyan was even happier. The first thing she did every day was to check if Sasa's belly had grown. She also asked Mother Song to make a curtain, quilt and mattress for the baby. Moreover, she mustered up the courage to go to the backyard of Luyuan to give gifts to Wu Mujiang and asked him to make the most beautiful bed for the baby.

She asked Dabao and A Lu to accompany her, holding a box of palace candies sent by Mrs. Chu San. She said and gestured, "The bed should be this big, this low, primrose color, and can be hung with curtains. There should be little rabbits eating carrots on it, and there should be small flowers, small grasses..."

The little girl spoke slowly, but she still described the most beautiful doghouse in her heart to Wu Mujiang.

Wu Mujiang was very honored to see that his craftsmanship was so trusted by the eldest girl of the Chu family, and promised to make such a small bed.

At night, Chen Afu entered the space again and told Jin Yanzi about this happy event. Jin Yanzi already knew, and laughed, "This is really a great event. When the baby is born, Mommy will take it into the space, not only can people see it first, but it can also get a touch of the spiritual energy in the space, and live a long and healthy life."

Chen Afu calculated the time and said, "When Sasa gave birth, I might have gone to the capital."

Jin Yanzi felt very regretful when she heard it.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Dabao and Alu finally had a long vacation. But they still got up early and followed Chen Ming to deliver a car of gifts to the gate of Tangyuan. This was a gift for Mr. Liao. Mr. Liao was going back to his hometown in Jiaodong today and would return to Tangyuan on the 19th day of the first lunar month next year.

Just at the time of Si, Xiao Shitou, Sixizi, Chen Dahu and other children in the village came to Fuyuan. Dabao and Alu joined them and made a fuss in the open space next to Fuyuan. Not long after, Luo Mingcheng and several children of Tangyuan's servants also came. This peaceful land became noisy again.

Seeing Chu Hanyan's envious eyes, Chen Afu took her to the outside of the yard and stood far away to watch the excitement. Chen Dabao was the busiest at this time. He played with the children for a while, came over to chat with his mother and sister, and then ran off to play.

In the afternoon, Manager Luo came back from the capital. He brought back a large cart of gifts for Luyuan and Fuyuan, which were the New Year gifts from the Marquis's Mansion.

At this time, it happened that Old Lady Chen, Chen Ye, and Hu were all in Luyuan. Seeing a large cart of colorful things, they were extremely envious. Chen Ming laughed and gave a lot of gifts to the eldest room.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Mujiang and his son stopped working and went home for the New Year. The work had basically been done, with only a little finishing work left, which would be done in a few days in the first month of the year. Chen Ming also gave them some pickled meat, snacks from the capital, and two pieces of cloth.

The small bed that Chu Hanyan asked to make was also done, and Wu Mujiang personally delivered it to Fuyuan. The little girl was very happy to see that the small bed was as beautiful as she thought. Chen Afu also gave the Wu family some New Year's goods to express his gratitude.

That afternoon, Chen Shi's family also came back. In addition to bringing many gifts, they also brought back the restaurant's dividends for the past year. In the past ten months, the restaurant has made a net profit of 1,160 taels of silver. 200 taels of silver were kept as working capital, and red envelopes were given to employees. The remaining 900 taels of silver were divided among several shareholders.

Chen Shi asked Chen Dahu to invite the second family and Luo Guanshi to the first room for dinner. After drinking, they discussed the marketing strategy of the restaurant next year, and then reported on the operating conditions of this year, and finally divided the money.

The second and third rooms each received 360 taels of silver, and the first room and Luo Guanshi each received 90 taels of silver.

Seeing such a big gap, not to mention that Chen Ye and Hu were in a bad mood, even the old lady looked at Chen Ye with heartache. This son contributed the most to the family, but he was surpassed by his two younger brothers and was left so far behind.

Manager Luo happily took the silver and expressed his gratitude. Then, he stood up and said goodbye. Chen Afu didn't want to stay any longer. She had seen that Chen Ye and the others looked unhappy. She took Dabao and A Lu and followed Manager Luo home.

The next day, Wang, who heard it, said that Chen Ming and Chen Shi each gave the old lady 20 taels of silver and each gave Chen Ye 20 taels of silver.

"Mother-in-law and uncle are satisfied, but Hu is still not satisfied. Her mouth is curled behind her ears..." Wang said.

Chen Afu didn't say a word. She didn't know if it was wrong to pull Chen Ye into the shareholders of the restaurant.

That day, Chen Shi's family came to Luyuan. They first saw the tools and dowry made for Chen Afu. Zhang and Chen Aman came to Fuyuan to see the wedding dress made by Chen Afu.

Zhang also complained to Chen Afu quietly, "We have given them a lot of filial piety. According to Hu's intention, we want to share it equally among the families..."

On the 29th day of the lunar year, Chu Lingxuan finally came back.

It was already dark, and there was a blizzard outside. In the warm restaurant, Chen Afu was leading Dabao and Chu Hanyan to eat mutton soup.

Hearing the whistling outside, Chen Afu felt uneasy.

Suddenly, he heard the loud voice of old man Zeng, "Oh, the old man is back. The eldest girl, the sister, and the brother are all worried."
