When they got closer, Mother Song put Chu Hanyan on the ground and said embarrassedly, "Sister was making a fuss about coming to aunt's house to build a small house, and now we are here to bother her again."
Luo Mingcheng added, "The older girl also said it was fragrant."
Wei thought her son was saying Chu Hanyan was greedy, so she slapped him unhappily and said angrily, "You are so capable."
Chu Hanyan stammered, "Building...a house, smells...smells good."
Chen Ahfu knew that this "fragrance" must be the little girl smelling the faint fragrance of her own home. You have to smell it carefully to smell it. The little girl has a very good nose.
She walked over, squatted down, pinched the little girl's face and smiled, "Sister is really capable. You should do this in the future. If you want something, just say it clearly."
Dabao was very happy to see Chu Hanyan liked his home, and took the little girl into the yard. He also said arrogantly, "It's great to be close. If you want to visit, you can just stretch your legs and come."
Chen Afu had just been playing with a few children in the south room of the west wing for a short while when Miao'er came running to pick up Chu Hanyan, saying that the master had returned and asked her to go back.
Chen Ahfu knew that this was Abbot Lechen coming back. People in Tangyuan called Chu Lingxuan "uncle" and Abbot Lechen "master".
When Wei and Song heard this, they quickly got up and took the children back to Tangyuan. Chen Ahfu asked Wei to send a carriage so that she could take the orchid back to Abbot Chen.
When she left, Wei was still carrying the basket of building blocks, fearing that Sister Yan would come and make trouble again tomorrow.
Qiqi and Huihui were hiding in the corner and sulking because they didn't go to Chengtang Garden today. When they saw that they were going back, they became happy and jumped up and down and shouted, "Let's go play, let's go play."
Then, Qiqi flew and stood on Chu Hanyan's little hand, and Huihui flew and stood on Luo Mingcheng's little hand, making the two children very happy.
Now that the two families were close, they could go if they wanted to. Chen Ahfu only said, "Don't be naughty, don't be greedy, and go home early."
In just over a quarter of an hour, the carriage from Tangyuan arrived. Chen Ahfu took the carriage and went to Tangyuan with Lanhua in his arms.
At this time, the overjoyed Liaochen was sitting on the Luohan bed in Yiran Courtyard, talking to her little granddaughter who was sitting in her arms. Every time she came back, she was surprised by her granddaughter's progress.
Next to them sat Chu Lingxuan. He had been to the capital a few days ago and had just returned today. He checked in at the government office and then rode back to Tangyuan. Next to him on the coffee table stood Qiqi and Huihui, who were eating nuts on a plate.
It was rare for Chu Lingxuan and Liaochen to come back at the same time, and they were very surprised to see each other today. In addition, Chu Hanyan had changed a lot compared to before, which made them even happier. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked quietly, of course, it was mainly Liaochen and Chu Lingxuan who were talking, and Chu Hanyan would occasionally say a few words.
Chen Ahfu came to Yiran Courtyard and unexpectedly found Chu Lingxuan there. She bowed to Chen and bent her knees to Chu Lingxuan.
Chu Lingxuan said, "Master Chen, please take a seat." He smiled slightly and bowed slightly.
Liaochen also smiled and said, "Amitabha, thank you, Mr. Chen, you have taught Yan'er very well."
She was even more surprised when she saw the orchid. When she brought it here, the flower was almost dead. But now the flower not only came back to life, but also grew many dark purple buds.
She counted them and found there were 22. She was surprised and said, "Amitabha, the black orchid blooms at most 16 or 17 flowers each time, but this time 24 buds have grown at once. Donor Chen is really an orchid expert."
Chen Afu didn't know how to explain it, he just laughed foolishly. If he had known it was so outrageous, he should have moved the flowers out of the space earlier.
Chu Hanyan actually responded, "Auntie... is capable."
After saying that, he stretched out his little hand and gave a thumbs up. Then, he looked at Chen Afu eagerly. He meant to show his appreciation to him, because he reacted very quickly this time.
The cute little appearance made everyone present laugh. Chu Hanyan felt embarrassed again, slid down from Lechen's legs, went over to hug Chen Afu, and buried her little head in her legs.
Chen Ahfu touched her little head and said with a smile, "Sister, you see that auntie is taking good care of the flowers and you know how to praise auntie. Auntie is very happy. What can I do? Auntie will be so happy that she won't be able to sleep at night."
Chu Hanyan raised her little head and said to Chen Afu very cleverly, "Holding Big Swallow will allow you to...get enough sleep."
Chen Ahfu smiled, revealing a few pearly teeth, with little stars of surprise in his eyes, and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, sister is really smart, this is a great idea. Okay, auntie will definitely hold Big Swallow to sleep at night."
Chu Hanyan pursed her lips and smiled. Although her smile was not big, it was as sweet as eating honey. She thought for a moment and walked towards her bedroom again.
Mother Song went to hold her hand, but her chubby body dodged and refused to be held. Mother Song had no choice but to follow her.
Just when everyone was wondering, Chu Hanyan came out again, with a big swallow doll in her arms that she held when she slept.
She walked up to Chen Ahfu, lifted up the doll and said, "Here... Auntie, sleep... well."
Chen Afu was really touched. She didn't expect that the little girl would give her her most beloved thing.
She picked up Chu Hanyan and hugged her in her arms, saying softly, "Thank you, sister is so kind and generous. You are willing to give such a good thing to auntie. However, auntie also has a big swallow at home, so let it accompany sister and sleep well..."
Watching the interaction between the two of them, and seeing Chu Hanyan being able to communicate normally, Lechen covered his mouth and shed tears silently. Chu Lingxuan was also deeply touched, with an emotion he had never experienced before surging in his heart.
The way they get along is not like teacher and student, master and servant, or mother and daughter in this era. But anyone can see that they seem to get along more closely than real mother and daughter.
No wonder Yan'er recovered so quickly! No wonder Yan'er could communicate with her like a normal child! Not only because Chen Ahfu taught her properly, but also because she spent her heart to get along with Yan'er, treating her like a normal child, and she really loved Yan'er.
Every word Chen Ahfu said was ordinary, yet somewhat unexpected, and not something they could think of or say. And these words just fit Yan'er's thoughts.
Then look at Yan'er's expression as she sat on her lap: relaxed, contented, dependent...even she seemed to have more spiritual energy.
Chen Afu talked to the little girl for a few words, thinking that it was a rare reunion for three generations of their family, and it would be inappropriate for him to be a bystander here. He coaxed the little girl a few more words, ignored the deep reluctance in her eyes, rubbed her head with his face, and stood up to say goodbye.
Abbot Liaochen said, "I heard that Mr. Chen was moving, so I specially ordered a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I wish Mr. Chen and his family good health and good luck."
The little nun behind him brought up a sandalwood statue of Guanyin.
