Chen Ahfu shook his head and corrected, "That's not talking slowly, that's singing a song, a song, a song."
"Qu...er, I want more." Chu Hanyan said.
Chen Ahfu sang it again. As soon as he stopped, Chu Hanyan said, "I want more."
You can't keep singing.
Chen Ahfu said, "It's not enough for Auntie to sing alone. Sister has to learn to sing too. When Jinbao comes back, he'll find that Sister can sing a song, and it's about him. He'll definitely be happy, and maybe he'll even accompany Sister at night..."
He kept muttering to her without caring whether she could understand him or not.
Then, he stood up and said, "Today's first class is..."
At noon, when Aunt Luo brought people to Yiran Courtyard to deliver food, she was shocked by the scene in the yard.
I saw Chen Afu standing under the ginkgo tree, Yan Jie'er, Dabao, Luo Mei, Luo Mingyuan were standing in a row opposite her, with Qiqi and Huihui standing between them.
Every time Chen Ahfu said something, the children and the two parrots followed suit, and the children clapped their hands rhythmically. Of course, Chu Hanyan didn't say anything or clap, she just stared at Chen Ahfu blankly, but her lips moved from time to time. She got impatient, so Mother Song quickly broke off a little bit of the golden silk cake and fed it to her.
Little Swallow, wearing a flowery dress,
Come here every spring.
I asked the swallow why it came,
Swallow said,
Spring is the most beautiful here.
After saying it once, Chen Ahfu would give two thumbs up and praise, "Well, that's great."
Chen Ahfu saw Aunt Luo coming with food boxes and said with a smile, "The first class is over. You all performed very well, and Auntie will reward you with golden silk cakes."
Then, I gave each of the children a small golden silk cake, and Qiqi and Huihui also had one each. The two little guys had long been impatient, but I just kept using the golden silk cake to whet their appetite.
Aunt Luo smiled and said, "Master Chen, please eat here too, and then ..."
She swallowed the word "go home" and looked at Chu Hanyan with a smile.
Seeing that food had been prepared for her and Dabao, Chen Ahfu was really hungry, so she stayed to eat. After Chu Hanyan fell asleep and Dabao also fell asleep on the couch in the side room, she took Zhuifeng home.
She walked quickly and reached home in about half an hour.
Wang also left some food for her, but she said she had already eaten it.
Chen Ming said with interest, "I walked around for half a day this morning, and I still think our place is good. The two courtyards can be used as one courtyard, and then we can buy the wasteland next to your courtyard and build another courtyard."
Chen Afu said, "The total land is less than two acres. It's too small to build two courtyards. Besides, outside the door is someone else's vegetable garden, which is not bright."
Chen Ming said, "Then build your yard bigger and we'll build ours smaller."
Chen Ahfu shook his head and said, "It's best to build the house all at once. The two yards need at least two acres of land each. Dad will look for some more."
Chen Ming nodded helplessly. Although he felt that it was really unnecessary to build such a large yard, he still chose to listen to his daughter.
Chen Afu went back to the new courtyard and rested for quarter of an hour. After getting up, he thought about what to make for the embroidery workshop, and drew and wrote on paper with a brush.
Since he recovered, Chen Afu would "very seriously" study or practice calligraphy with Dabao and Alu whenever he has free time.
Chen Ming was amazed by her "cleverness". Once, Chen Ming couldn't help himself and blurted out, "Afu is so smart, just like Chen..." Knowing that he almost said something wrong, he quickly closed his mouth, his face flushed.
Wang, who was standing by, also blushed and looked up at her husband and daughter in confusion.
Chen Afu knew what he wanted to say, "Too much like Chen Juren." Fortunately, Chen Juren was a top student and gifted. He could write poems at the age of five, which gave her a source of "intelligence." In fact, the ancients also understood genetics, but they called it differently. They said "inheritance."
Seeing Chen Ming and Wang like this, Chen Ahfu laughed and said, "They look just like Dad, don't they? Grandma said that Dad was smart. If Dad hadn't been sick, he would have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi."
Chen Ming heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded. Wang also heaved a sigh of relief and continued to work.
Chen Ahfu's "amazing intelligence" and "stunning appearance" are very similar to Chen Shiying. With this origin, she is not too strict in learning. The same is true for painting. Whether it is animals or clothes, she draws them, they are all beautiful and unique.
Therefore, no matter what she drew, Chen Ming and Wang would not find it incredible.
After some revisions to his drawing, Chen Afu got up and went to Tangyuan at a quarter before 3 p.m.
The afternoon sun was strong, even in autumn it was hot. They couldn't play in the yard, so they played under the shaded porch.
Chen Ahfu led several children, Qiqi and Huihui, dancing and gesturing, reciting the nursery rhyme of "Little Swallow in Flowery Clothes". Later, Miao'er, Qiao'er and two ten-year-old girls who were guarding the door also joined in. After reciting for a while, they would rest for a quarter of an hour, drink some water and eat something.
The only content of their "class" every day was to recite the words of "Little Swallow", dancing and saying them at the same time.
Dabao no longer wanted to play this childish game, so the next day, he recited for a while, then led Zhuifeng to sit and read a book. Sometimes he would look up at the laughter over there, and then he would laugh and shout loudly, "Sister Yan'er, you are great." Then, he would put the book on his thighs and give two thumbs up.
However, Chu Hanyan didn't hear his "attentiveness" most of the time. Occasionally, when she heard it and looked in his direction, Chen Dabao would be extremely happy.
The older girls, including Luo Mei, knew that they were playing with their masters, so they cooperated very well. Only the little Luo Mingyuan was very depressed and unhappy. After playing for a long time, he would have memorized it long ago, but he was still jumping and reciting the same words over and over again, and he was reciting them very slowly, so he became impatient.
If he was even slightly negligent, Aunt Luo or Mrs. Wei who were serving him would glare at him, and he would have no choice but to continue playing with tears in his eyes.
When Chen Ahfu saw this, he would quietly give him an extra piece of golden silk cake or other snacks during the "break" and coax him, "It's only for Yuan boy. Yuan boy is the best. They don't have any."
After hearing this, Luo Mingyuan burst into laughter.
Chen Afu's behavior made the Luo family very happy.
After three days, Chu Hanyan could finally say "Little swallow, wearing flowery clothes...spring is here", and she would jump after saying it.
Although she speaks very slowly, stutters a little, and doesn't jump very high, this is a huge improvement for her. Moreover, she is no longer opposed to playing with other children, and sometimes she will curl her lips when she sees others having fun.
