Dabao's words made Chen Afu feel sad. He was so young, but he knew how to be grateful. He was an orphan abandoned by his parents, the most pitiful child. But because he was picked up by a good family, he lived a stable life. Even though she had not traveled through time before and the Chen family was poor, they still tried their best to protect him.
But that little Wang Cheng has a biological father and so many relatives...
Chen Ahfu picked up Dabao and put him on her lap and said, "Good boy, gratitude is a virtue. I am very happy that you can think this way. No matter how successful you are in the future or where you go, you must remember that this family saved you, gave you warmth, and sheltered you."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Dabao replied.
After lunch, Chen Ahfu came to the old courtyard again. Chen Ming did not go out, but kept talking to Wang in a low voice.
When he saw Chen Ahfu coming, he spoke to her very seriously. The gist of it was that she was his daughter, Chen Ming, and he told her not to listen to the nonsense of the Ding family and her son. In the future, if outsiders said the same thing, she should not believe it. She might look a bit like the prefect Chen, and it was just a coincidence...
They chose to continue hiding it from themselves.
Chen Ahfu was also happy to play dumb, and quickly hugged Chen Ming's arm and said, "Of course I don't believe those rumors. If I wasn't Dad's biological daughter, how could he be so good to me? I remember all the good things Dad had done to me. Even when I was stupid, I knew that my dad was the best dad in the world." He also said meaningfully, "I never thought about climbing up the rich ladder. Our family is harmonious and happy, much better than those wealthy families who are full of intrigues and deceptions."
Her words touched Chen Ming a little. He patted Chen Afu's hand with satisfaction and said, "Dad knows that Afu is a good daughter."
Wang, who was standing by, seemed relieved after hearing this.
Chen Ming also reminded Chen Afu not to beat Ding and Wang Cai like this in the future. No matter how bad they were, they were still elders. If outsiders knew about it, it would be easy for people to criticize her, and it would be even more difficult for her to find a good son-in-law in the future.
Chen Ahfu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I couldn't do anything about the beatings I did this morning." He then looked at the scratches on Wang's face and said, "Did Mom inflict the scars on her face herself?"
Wang said, "Well, mother has no choice. We can't let them go out and talk nonsense."
In order to reward Zhuifeng, Chen Afu specially stewed two of his favorite braised pork ribs.
After dinner, Chen Ming took A Lu and Da Bao to the Dafang and Hu Laowu’s homes to give gifts.
Chen Ahfu knocked off another half bowl of pine nuts and entered the space. She remembered the kindness of Jin Yanzi in bringing Zhuifeng back. But she saw that Jin Yanzi was not working, but lying on the ground, flapping her wings and covering her stomach. When she saw Chen Ahfu coming in, she didn't say hello, but looked at her resentfully, turned around and gave her a head slap.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong? Get up quickly, mommy has brought you some pine nuts." Chen Afu squatted down and poked its little body with his fingers.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi jumped up, her face flushed with anger, and she yelled at Chen Afu, "How dare you talk about Songzi! Humph, you've made me suffer so much."
At this moment, it looked like a sparrow with its feathers blown off.
Chen Ahfu was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with pine nuts? They are precious. Mommy couldn't bear to eat more of them."
The golden swallow said angrily, "Pine nuts are precious! Only you are so poor that you make me greedy for them. I have lived for nearly two thousand years, but this is the first time I feel so embarrassed." After saying that, it covered its little head with another wing.
Chen Afu said anxiously, "Oh, you keep talking around in circles. You've been talking for so long and I still don't know what you are talking about. Well, if you don't tell me directly, I'll leave." She was very tired today and didn't have much energy to coax the little one.
After hearing this, the golden swallow lowered its wings and whispered, "I have diarrhea." Then, it started to cry and continued to complain, "In the past, when I was hibernating, my original owners would bring nuts in for me to eat. They brought them often, so I wasn't so greedy and didn't eat too much. But you, not only don't bring me nuts often, but when you do, you only bring me greasy nuts. You're so bad and bring shame to me. Oh, oh, oh..."
Chen Ahfu felt very bad after hearing this. Although she had thought about feeding it oily food in the past, she never really did it. She really thought pine nuts were good things, as you can see from how fiercely Huihui and Qiqi fought over them. So, she kindly brought them in for it to eat, but she didn't expect that it would have stomach problems after eating too much.
She quickly apologized, "Jin Bao'er, I'm sorry, Mommy didn't know this would happen. Let me go get some water and wash your little butt."
Then, she dodged and took out a large bowl with a hole in it, and filled half a bowl of water into the space.
When Jin Yanzi saw the broken bowl, her eyes wrinkled in disdain and she chirped, "Mom, I'm the super rich Jin Yanzi. Even if I'm washing my butt, I can't use this broken bowl."
Chen Ahfu coaxed, "Okay, okay, when Mommy gets rich, all your daily necessities will be made of pure gold."
After catching the golden swallow and taking a look, Chen Afu saw a little bit of yellow feces on its long tail, so he washed it clean in a large bowl.
After leaving the space, she still couldn't bear to pour out the bowl of water, so she put it on the stove.
Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, I shoveled half a basin of soil in the yard and planted some garlic in it. Then, I poured the bowl of water into the basin and took the basin to the kitchen of the old courtyard, where the temperature was higher.
There had been no vegetables in the fields since mid-to-late October. Now, apart from radishes and bean sprouts, she had dried vegetables. She was craving vegetables so much that she hoped to get some garlic sprouts.
The next day, Chen Afu took Dabao to see the bride, Chen Alan, and said some words of blessing. Without waiting for the bride to get married, they went to Tangyuan.
In the evening, Chen Afu and Dabao returned home from Tangyuan and heard Wang and Chen Ming talk about Chen Alan's marriage. They said it was very lively and her dowry was ranked first among the girls getting married in the village, which made Chen Ye feel very proud. I heard from the people who sent the bride back that the in-laws were also very satisfied with the dowry...
She also said that Mrs. Hu cried a lot. Although she usually doted on Chen Aju more, she knew in her heart that the eldest daughter was much more well-behaved and obedient.
Wang looked at Chen Ahfu and smiled again, "Ahfu has established a female household, so she won't have to marry far away in the future. Otherwise, I will cry to death."
Chen Ming smiled and said, "Yes, Ah Fu lives next door to us, how nice."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Of course. Dad has a loud voice and we can hear him."
After ten days, the garlic sprouts in the pot grew to more than half a foot tall, densely packed throughout the pot. They were lush and green, and smelled very good.
Wang was surprised and said, "I have planted garlic seedlings in pots before, but they never grew as fast as this time, nor were they as juicy as this one."
