It was already late at this time, Chen Ahfu said to Chu Lingxuan, "It's late, uncle, go back to Tangyuan and rest."
Chu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Let someone notify me if anything happens." He then consoled her, "Don't worry too much, go to bed early. The doctor said Dabao's leg is fine, so it should be fine now."
Chen Afu nodded, and persuaded Wang, Chen Ming, and Alu to return to Lu Garden. After washing up, she sat by the bed and looked at the sleeping Dabao.
Xia Yue whispered, "Go to sleep, too, young lady, or you won't have energy tomorrow."
Chen Afu shook his head and said to Xia Yue and Qiu Yue, "I know you have worked hard for so long, go back and rest."
After sending the two little girls away, the golden swallow finally flew down from the branch and went into the house. It crawled beside Dabao's pillow, its eyes were swollen from crying, and its little body was still twitching.
This little thing, its pointed mouth is sharper than an electric awl, but its heart is so soft.
Chen Ahfu was still very moved. He gently stroked its feathers with his hand and said, "Don't be sad. The doctor said Dabao's leg can be cured."
Golden Swallow choked up and said, "I just can't bear to see children suffer. It makes me very sad to see it, let alone the stinky Dabao. Ouch, my chest hurts." As she spoke, she flapped her little chest with her wings.
As they were talking, the gate suddenly rang, and then Qiqi and Huihui flew in. They got into the window, stood under the bed, stretched their heads and looked at Dabao, shouting, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Chen Ahfu quickly hushed him and said softly, "Keep your voice down, don't make any noise, Dabao is injured."
When Qiqi and Huihui heard this, they were so shocked that they opened their mouths and burst into tears.
“Wuwu…Wuwu…” This is Dabao’s crying.
"Hmm...Hmm..." This is the sobbing sound of little Miss Chu.
Chen Afu said anxiously, "Keep your voice down, Dabao just fell asleep."
The two little ones finally suppressed their cries.
Zhuifeng was let in by Old Man Zeng. He also rushed into the house and lay under the bed, crying silently.
When they had cried enough, Chen Ahfu asked Xia Yue and Qiu Yue, who had heard the noise, to give them a bath. After they had taken a bath, they came to the bedroom to accompany Da Bao.
The next day, when Chen Ahfu woke up, he saw this: Dabao was still asleep, and Jinyanzi was lying beside his pillow with her wings spread out, sleeping soundly with her little pointed beak slightly open. Zhuifeng was lying on his back, sleeping on the ground, and Qiqi and Huihui were sleeping on its fat belly.
When Chen Afu got up, he also woke up the animal house.
Before they opened their mouths, Chen Ahfu whispered, "Whoever wants to make a noise can go outside and don't wake Dabao up. His legs hurt and he will feel uncomfortable when he wakes up."
Golden Swallow and Gray Gray both covered their mouths with their wings. Zhuifeng was not a noisy person, but Qiqi was self-aware and knew that she was noisy. She flew out and talked to herself at the tree for a while, then ran in with her mouth tightly closed.
After breakfast, Doctor Jin came to see Dabao again and give him acupuncture. Dabao was in a much better mood today. After eating and talking for a few minutes, he fell asleep again. He didn't wake up even when Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi came to see him.
Chu Hanyan cried so hard, but she knew she couldn't cry too loudly, so she covered her mouth with her chubby hands, which was heartbreaking to watch. She stayed here for half a minute before being forcibly taken away by Mother Song. Chen Afu heard that she cried in Tangyuan for most of the day, and her eyes were swollen.
In the past few days, not only Chen Ming and his wife stayed here almost all the time, but also Old Marquis Chu was here, and Chu Lingxuan still came back every now and then. After five days, when Dabao was completely fine, Doctor Jin was sent back to Dingzhou Prefecture.
During this period, Wang Laowu also came to visit Dabao once with two bags of candy.
He had become a lot cleaner since he became a farmhand at Fuyuan, but his teeth were still yellow, his clothes were not very clean, and one could smell the sweat on his body from a long distance away.
Not to mention that Xia Yue and Qiu Yue disliked him, even Shan Zi disliked him. When he came, Old Man Zeng was not there, and Shan Zi did not let him in, saying, "I'm afraid no one else can eat the food you brought except you. You should take it back and eat it yourself, so that my master doesn't have to go through the trouble of throwing it away."
Chen Ahfu just came out of the kitchen. Hearing Shanzi's words, he sullenly rebuked, "A guest is a guest. Why do you keep Bao Ge'er's guest out? I'll deduct one month's salary from you."
Shanzi burst into tears when he heard this and opened the door to let Wang Laowu in.
Wang Laowu blushed and bowed to Chen Afu, saying, "Miss, I heard that Bao Ge'er was injured, so I went to the county town to buy some candy to see him. Don't worry, the candy was packed by the waiter at the snack shop. I only held the string that tied the candy, and my hands didn't even touch the edge of the oil paper."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and he was indeed holding the rope that tied the candy with only two fingers.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Thank you for still thinking about my Dabao. Please come in."
Seeing Xia Yue frowning and Qiu Yue covering her nose with her hands, Chen Afu glared at them both. They didn't dare to do it anymore and hurried to pour tea for Wang Laowu.
Wang Laowu did not dare to enter the bedroom, but only looked in from the door. Dabao was still asleep, and he looked at him for a few seconds before lowering his head and walking out quickly. Chen Afu guessed that he must have cried.
If this person really came to protect Dabao, it means that Dabao's family did not ignore Dabao, but that he had reasons to leave home.
If his family came to take him home, how could I bear to leave!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xia Yue pout and say, "That bachelor Wang is really something. He just ran away without saying a word after seeing Bao Ge'er. This guy is not only dirty, but also has no manners."
Chen Ahfu said, "Wang Laowu is our long-term worker. He works very hard. Don't use ..." She wanted to say don't use color-changing glasses to look at him, but then she remembered that there were no glasses in the world. After a pause, she said, "To such hard-working people, you should respect them and not be rude."
After hearing this, Xia Yue and Qiu Yue both nodded in agreement.
Fuyuan returned to peace.
After Dabao's illness got better, the gifts he bought were delivered to Chen Afu, Wang, Chen Ming, Chu Lingxuan, Old Lord Chu, Mr. Liao, and Old Lady Chen. They were all very moved when they received the gifts. These things not only condensed Dabao's sweat, but also condensed his pain.
It is the hottest season of the year. The cicadas in the trees are chirping non-stop, but the birds are singing much less. Occasionally, a few small birds fly into the yard, but they are also foreign birds.
The golden swallow took Qiqi, Huihui, Zhuifeng and Wangcai to the mountains again. This time, even Jin'er, Cui'er, Ge'er, Qu'er and other caged birds were taken to the mountains to escape the summer heat.
At this time, all the watermelons in Wangshan Village had been harvested, and the land was cleared for planting autumn corn.
After deducting the cost, the net profit of the watermelons this time was 2,116 taels of silver. Since half of the six mu of watermelon land belonged to Chen Ming's family, Chen Afu gave Chen Ming 150 taels of silver.
