After cleaning up the east wing, it was almost time, so Chen Ahfu went to the gate of Fuyuan to pick up Dabao and Alu. Zhuifeng, Sasa, and Wangcai followed him consciously, but when she called out to Qiqi and Huihui who were squatting on the roof and sulking, they held their heads high and ignored her. She could vaguely hear Qiqi cursing "stinky bitch", which made Chen Ahfu grit his teeth in anger.
She was also helpless. Because of her lack of consideration, she offended those two stingy guys.
This time when I went to Dingzhou Prefecture, I brought gifts not only to everyone, but also to the animal homes. Just like before, I brought food to them. But thinking of the generous "dowry" that Sasa brought, Chen Afu felt that he could not be like some of the evil mothers-in-law of this era, who just took over without any expression.
So she asked Aunt Zeng to make a beautiful silver chain for Sasa in a silver shop. Sasa looked so beautiful wearing the silver chain that Zhuifeng couldn't get enough of it. If Wangcai looked at her for a few more seconds, Zhuifeng would howl at her until Wangcai looked away.
Qiqi and Huihui were unhappy when they saw that they didn't have the beautiful silver chain, and they felt that their master was partial to one over the other. Chen Afu explained guiltily, "Sasa is a female and loves beauty. You guys are still fighting for these things, aren't you ashamed?"
Qiqi jumped up and down and yelled, "Dabao is a male!"
Huihui added, "Uncle is a male."
Chen Afu bought a necklace for Dabao and Alu respectively.
After they roared, they flew to the roof together. Chen Ahfu saw that there were tears in their eyes. She blamed herself very much. She didn't expect that her birds were really the smartest birds in the forest. Not only could they be jealous, but they could also distinguish between male and female. If she had known this, she should have made a silver chain for them. The family didn't lack the money.
They have been squatting on the roof, sulking for an hour, and are still refusing to come down.
Chen Afu turned his head and saw Wang Laowu carrying a bucket to Luyuan to fetch water. His home was far from the well at the entrance of the village, so Chen Ming asked him to go to Luyuan to fetch water to drink.
He saw Chen Ahfu looking at him, so he looked up and smiled at her. "Thank you, young lady."
Chen Afu also brought snacks and candies for the servants and farmhands, including Wang Laowu, and had asked Shanzi to deliver them to him.
Chen Afu smiled and shook his head.
The corner gate of Tangyuan opened, and Ah Lu and Da Bao walked out hand in hand. When they saw Chen Ah Fu, they ran towards her.
Dabao ran and shouted, "Mom, you haven't come to pick me up for several days."
She was so delicate that she couldn't even stretch out her tongue. Chen Ahfu thought of some sissy guys in his previous life and felt that sleeping in separate rooms was a must.
Chen Afu picked up Dabao who ran over and kissed his little face hard. He thought, kiss him more while he is still young, because when he grows up, he won't be able to kiss him anymore. Just like today, he has to sleep in a separate bed when he grows up. Or maybe, before he grows up, he will be taken away.
Dabao giggled and kissed his mother back several times.
Chen Ahfu said to Ah Lu, "Let's go to my house for dinner. I'll make noodles with chives and oil residue tonight."
Ah Lu grinned and said, "I haven't eaten noodles like this in a long time."
Since life at home got better, I haven’t had this most delicious meal that only the poor could have.
When Dabao heard that he was going to eat this food which he once thought was the most delicious in the world, he was extremely happy and imitated his mother and made the scissors hand gesture.
Chen Ahfu went to the kitchen to make noodles, while Ah Lu and Dabao played with the dogs in the yard. Dabao looked up and said to Qiqi and Huihui, "Come down quickly, brother will give you some peanut crumbs."
Qiqi and Huihui raised their heads even higher. They ignored him. They were jealous of him.
The noodles were ready quickly, so I had an early dinner today.
Dabao and A Lu took two bites and thought it was not as delicious as before. Dabao looked up and asked, "Mom, is this noodle made by Qiuyue? Hers is not as delicious as mom's."
Chen Afu said, "No, this was done by mother, Qiuyue just helped mother to light the fire."
"Why does the taste differ from what my sister originally made?" A Lu was also puzzled.
Chen Ahfu said, "Because we didn't eat well at home, you thought this kind of noodles was the best delicacy. Now our family's life is better, we have chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, and your taste has become more picky, so you think it's not as delicious as before. Think about it, how long has it been since we last had this kind of noodles?" Chen Ahfu asked himself and answered, "More than a year. At that time, Dabao was only this tall, A Lu's leg was still lame, and my body was not fully recovered."
Dabao said with emotion, "Life is like a fleeting moment in the universe."
A-Lu also used a famous saying, "Time flies by, day and night."
Chen Ahfu looked at them and said, "Time flies. In a blink of an eye, you have all grown up and become little men, and you are studying with your teacher to learn knowledge."
The two boys thought of the difficult times they had gone through and suddenly found the noodles very delicious. They each finished their big bowl.
After A-Lu left, Chen A-Fu pulled Dabao to the east wing bedroom, pointed inside the room and said, "You've grown up, you can't sleep in the same room with your mother anymore. This is your bedroom, you'll rest here from now on."
The news came so suddenly that Dabao was stunned at first, then he started to cry out at the top of his voice, "Mom, what are you doing? Don't you want your son anymore?"
Chen Ahfu wiped his tears and said, "How can mother not want a son! When the son grows up, he has to live apart from mother. Like your uncle, doesn't he live alone in the east wing? And the younger uncle of the Chu family and sister Yan'er, they live in a yard by themselves when they are so young..."
Dabao jumped up and down and cried, "Si Xizi is two years older than me and he lives with his parents, why can't I do the same? Mom promised to hold my hand forever and treat me well, but now she has changed her mind... Although my uncle lives in the east wing, grandpa and grandma still live with him. People of their age are afraid to live alone, so wouldn't my son be even more afraid... If I had known earlier, I should have let him be my mother's son-in-law... Wuuwuwu... Otherwise, let's separate when he's seven?"
Dabao cried and told his story, finding all kinds of weird excuses, and finally resorted to a delaying tactic.
Chen Ahfu told him all kinds of reasons, telling him that she would never abandon him and would always treat him well. She let him sleep alone because she loved him and hoped that he would grow from a little boy into a responsible and promising man, and so on.
Chen Afu spoke until his mouth was dry and Dabao's voice was hoarse from crying until the moon was at its zenith.
Dabao saw that his mother had really made up her mind and knew that no matter how much he made a fuss, he would not be able to change her decision, so he nodded in agreement. But he made a request, "Mom must wait until her son falls asleep before leaving, so that her son will think that she is sleeping with me and she will not abandon me."
Hearing his hoarse voice, Chen Ahfu felt distressed and agreed, "Okay."
