Chapter 60: Little Swallow, Wearing Flowery Clothes

Chen Afu was afraid that Qi Qi, Hui Hui, and Zhui Feng would harm the pieces of satin and cotton, so he quickly took them to the east bedroom and put them in a box.

When Jin Yanzi was there, Zhui Feng slept in the east room. Since it went to space, Zhui Feng has also come to the West Room.

In the evening, Chen Afu made two bowls of noodles. Although it is plain noodles, it has all the seasonings and still tastes good, making it delicious.

Just after taking a few bites, I heard a knock on the side door.

Chen Afu got up and opened the door. It was Chen Dahu. He said, "My grandma wants to ask Dabao a few words."

That Hu family has come here to complain.

Chen Afu didn't want Dabao to go, but he was also afraid that if Dabao didn't go, Hu would come this way, which would disturb him and make him unable to even work. He had no choice but to let Dabao go and wink at him. Dabao nodded, meaning he knew what to say. He couldn't bear to part with the noodles in the bowl, so he carried the big bowl to the old yard.

After Chen Afu finished eating and washing the dishes, there was a knock on Dabao's door.

Dabao walked in with red eyes and a tight mouth. He put the empty bowl on the stove and hugged Chen Afu's waist tightly, pressing his little face against her belly.

Chen Afu asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with my son?"

Dabao whispered, "Grandma asked me about things in Tangyuan. I said it was not fun for the little girl from the Chu family to stay in Tangyuan, so she asked me to go and play with her. I didn't dare to say that she liked birds, for fear of being beaten by grandma. Qiqi's idea. Grandma asked me to take Dahu and Daya to Tangyuan tomorrow. She also said that they are smarter and more lovable than me, and they will definitely be liked by the nobles. Grandpa said no, for fear of disturbing the nobles. It's not good for Dahu and Daya. Grandma and grandpa also think this is the case. They say it's better to flatter the nobles, but if they don't, they will be beaten. Not only are I grateful for my great-grandpa’s upbringing, but I’m also worried that my descendants will be prosperous.” He choked again and said, “I also said that my grandpa can’t tell the difference between inside and outside. Now that my mother and I have separated, I wonder if she has a biological son.” Not necessarily. Only Dahu and Daya are grandpa's blood relatives. It's a good thing. Why didn't grandpa just care about me, a wild child? It was only after grandpa scolded her a few times that she stopped making trouble. "After saying that, he started crying.

That Mr. Hu is really wicked.

Chen Afu picked up Dabao, kissed his little face, and said, "My son is not sad. In my mother's heart, my son is her biological son. Not only my mother, but also my grandfather, grandma, and uncle all think so." "

Dabao asked sadly, "Is it true?"

Chen Afu said, "Of course it's true. How good we are to you, doesn't your son see it?" After another sweet talk, the young lady was coaxed from tears to laughter.

Chen Afu went to the west room to take the kang table to the east room. She didn't dare to make these things in the West House, for fear of those little things causing trouble.

She drew various little swallows on the paper, while Dabao was reading beside her.

When Dabao reads a book, he will be attracted by the little swallows drawn by his mother and say how beautiful and cute he is. Then he scratched his head and said, "Mom, although these little birds are not exactly the same as swallows, you can tell they are swallows at a glance. What's going on?"

Chen Afu said with a smile, "As long as you capture the characteristics of the little swallow, even if some of the details are exaggerated, you can still tell that it is a swallow. It is not just a swallow, it is the same for other things. The main thing is to capture the characteristics..."

Chen Afu drew many shapes of little swallows and found a few among them. She decided that in addition to making a few swallow dolls that were exactly the same as the golden swallows, she also decided to make other more exaggerated swallow dolls.

The little girl is leaving soon, and she can't do much in two or three days. The main reason is that this time the doll must be more delicate, and satin is much more difficult to sew than muslin. She calculated the time, grabbed some time, and with Wang's addition, a dozen or so people could still finish it. Make an extra-large swallow that is sixty centimeters long, six medium-sized swallows that are thirty centimeters long, and ten small swallows that are the same size as normal swallows.

She cuts the material to match proportions and colors.

After thinking about it, I cut another medium-sized swallow, this one is for the golden swallow.

The clothes swallows wear on these dolls are not all authentic blue wings and white bellies. Most of them are made of little swallows in floral clothes, some with yellow wings and red bellies, some with crimson wings and white bellies, etc. Tomorrow, let Wang embroider some small flowers on the satin and roll lace on the wings to make it more refined and classy.

To make these things, the satin will definitely be used up, but the cotton is not enough. I will add more at home.

Chen Afu gave full play to his imagination and intelligence, and worked hard to make these swallow dolls. Not only can it help that little girl and make her as happy as possible. I can also thank Abbot Chen for her kindness in preventing some servants from plotting against Dabao and Jin Yanzi. She also expressed her kindness to the poor little Ah Fu and Wang. He can also improve his relationship with Tangyuan and strengthen his family's backbone. I heard from Dabao that Manager Luo was very good and took good care of him.

After making these dolls, there will be a lot of satin left. She was still naively thinking that she would make a beautiful blue robe for Chen Ming, beautiful blue autumn clothes and winter clothes for Alu and Dabao, and a moon-white summer shirt, just right to wear to school. Make Wang a set of brown clothes, and you can make a moon-white middle coat and trousers and a red or crimson armor.

By the way, make another outfit for Mrs. Chen, give Chen Ye, Chen Dahu, and Chen Daya a piece of satin, and let Da Fang make it himself. As for Mrs. Hu, I wouldn't give it to her.

I heard from Dabao that Manager Luo has a six-year-old granddaughter and a four-year-old grandson, and he also made two beautiful dolls for these two children.

It's not that she has to use these good satins to make clothes or give favors. The main reason is to let others see that her relationship with Tangyuan is "very shallow". How can she get the owner of Tangyuan to look at her differently? Even if she can give them such good satin, she will also do it in the future. Don't dare to bully your own family at will.

The more Chen Afu thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help humming the familiar children's song from his previous life: Little Swallow, wearing a floral dress, comes here every spring. I asked Yanzi why you came, and Yanzi said that the spring here is the most beautiful.

She sang the first verse repeatedly but didn't sing the second verse. The content was too outrageous for this era.

She sang for a while, then looked up and saw Chen Dabao looking at her blankly, his big eyes bright.

When Dabao saw that his mother had stopped singing, he said excitedly, "Mom, the song you sang is so beautiful, even better than the people on the stage."

When Gao Lizheng's wife celebrated her sixtieth birthday last year, she invited the county opera troupe to perform, and Chen Dabao also went to listen.

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Dabao has no right metaphor. The people on the stage are singing operas, and my mother is singing songs. The two cannot be compared."

Chen Dabao pursed his lips and smiled and said, "No matter how you say it, my mother is capable, and she can even sing the songs so beautifully." He looked very proud.
