Chen Ming hummed, and then said, "It's just that the child is very cunning and thoughtful. He's afraid that we will listen to our eldest sister-in-law and... and not want him." He was embarrassed to talk about his mother, paused, and continued, "Don't let anyone know what you just said, otherwise he will get suspicious again. Also, tell the two children not to tell anyone that Ah Fu's dementia has improved for the time being. If Ah Fu's illness is really cured, it's fine. If not, it will cause complications."
"Yeah." Wang agreed.
Chen Ahfu was deeply moved. His father and mother were so kind. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, some parents would not be so kind to disabled children. Some cruel parents would even abandon their children or drown them. However, they not only planned for their daughter wholeheartedly, but also spent money on her medical treatment.
Also, this world doesn't seem to be too harsh on women, and unmarried women can still set up a female household.
Chen Afu turned over with great effort, thinking that she should get up and do some rehabilitation training to get back on track as soon as possible, so as to repay the family's love for the original owner. Moreover, even if she recovered from her illness, she wanted Xiaobao to continue to be her son. That child was so adorable. She was already over 30 in her previous life. Although she had not married or become a mother, her maternal love had already overflowed, and she could not get enough of loving the cute child.
However, if she wants Xiaobao to continue to be her son, she must have the final say and suppress that annoying aunt.
Chen Afu struggled to sit up, then rubbed her way to the cupboard and opened the door. Inside were several sets of her clothes and Xiaobao's clothes, as well as a few handkerchiefs.
She took out an apricot-colored jacket and a blue skirt. Both the jacket and the skirt were interlayered, with fine cloth on the outside and coarse cloth on the inside. Although they were faded and had patches on them, they were obviously much better than the other people's clothes.
It took her at least two quarters of an hour to put on her coat and skirt. Thinking that this body couldn't hold back her drool, she took a handkerchief and stuffed it into her bosom. But she also felt that it was not easy to take the handkerchief out of her bosom, so she hung the handkerchief on the button. Although it was childish, it was better than asking others to wipe her drool for her.
She got off the kang and put on her shoes with great effort. She saw a palm-sized bronze mirror on the table. She picked it up and looked at herself in it. She was shocked. Her little face was so beautiful, with a small oval face, snow-white skin, big almond eyes, a small and straight nose, and a rosy little mouth. Oh my God, she was much more beautiful than in her previous life. She was ecstatic.
However, her eyes were dull, and she looked like a silly beauty. Her hair was also messy, like a chicken coop. In her current condition, combing her hair, or combing it in the ancient style, was a difficult task that could not be accomplished.
She put down the mirror and secretly encouraged herself in her heart, Ah Fu, come on, get your body in shape quickly.
She walked around the room a few times, twisting her neck, twisting her hips, and doing some stretching exercises. Feeling a little sweaty, she opened the door and walked out of the east room.
Wang was cooking and Chen Ming was helping to light the fire. They were all surprised to see Chen Ahfu coming out in neat clothes.
"Is this the clothes Ah Fu wore himself?" they both asked in unison.
Chen Afu nodded and stammered, "Yes, yes - I put it on by myself. From now on, I will dress myself." The broken gong-like voice was really inconsistent with the beautiful appearance.
Wang happily put down the knife in her hand, clasped her hands together and started chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Chen Ming pinched his sparse beard and kept smiling, "Good, good, my good daughter, you are becoming more and more capable."
Chen Ahfu smiled and turned his eyes to the half-cut pork liver on the chopping board. Stir-fried pork liver and spicy pork liver are both good, which can suppress the fishy smell. Unconsciously, his saliva could not be stopped from flowing again.
Wang saw this, wiped her hands on the rag, took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe her daughter's mouth. Before she walked over, she saw her daughter had already raised her hand and wiped her saliva with the handkerchief.
Wang said with satisfaction, "Ahfu is really smart. He knows to hang the handkerchief on the button for easy access."
Chen Ahfu blushed and walked out the door. When he reached the door, Wang came over and said, "Ahfu, are you going out?" Seeing Chen Ahfu nod, she said, "Then stand outside for a while. Ahfu is handsome, don't let bad people see you..." After a pause, she said, "The threshold is a bit high, mother will help you."
Chen Afu shook his head and said, "Do it yourself." Then, he held the doorpost, lifted his legs and stepped over the threshold, then carefully walked down two stone steps and stood still.
It was dusk, and smoke was rising from every roof. As the sun set, the rosy clouds dyed half the sky red, and also dyed the faintly visible mountains in the west rosy red.
Chen Ahfu pointed at the mountains and said, "Over there..."
Chen Ming in the room said, "That's Honglin Mountain, about 20 miles away from here. The mountain is picturesque, and there is a Lingyin Temple. When you recover, let your mother take you, Dabao, and Alu to the mountain to play."
Wang added, "The monk who said Ah Fu is blessed is from Lingyin Temple. When Ah Fu recovers, we will go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, thank the Bodhisattva for his blessings, and thank the monk for his accurate predictions."
As they were talking, Dabao and Alu drove a few chickens into the yard. Alu was carrying a small bundle of firewood, and Dabao was carrying a small basket of wild vegetables.
The two men called for help first, and A Lu drove the chickens to the chicken coop in the backyard. He then chopped up some wild vegetables and mixed them with bran to feed the chickens.
Dabao ran into the kitchen, touched the stove first, then ran out and asked Chen Afu to bend down, and then he reached out and rubbed her face a few times.
"What—are you doing?" Chen Afu asked in surprise.
The little boy said helplessly, "Mom doesn't remember? Mom always smears her face when she goes out or walks in the yard." He sighed and shook his head and said, "Oh, what can I do? Mom is really too pretty."
Yes, this body is indeed a rare beauty. In the countryside, such a talent, and a fool, those bad men will definitely have bad intentions.
However, this child is too cunning.
After smearing Chen Afu's face, Chen Dabao went to pull Chen Ming up and sat in front of the stove to make a fire.
Children from poor families have to grow up early, and both children are well educated.
We had dinner on the kang in the west room: brown rice and sweet potato rice, a bowl of pork liver and cabbage soup with more cabbage and less pork liver, and a plate of salted radish.
Seeing the pot of black soup and cabbage leaves, Chen Ahfu wailed in her heart. Her stomach had become picky along with Chen Xudong in her previous life. She said, "Mom, you can stir-fry the pork liver, add some pickles, garlic sprouts, and preferably some chili peppers, that way it will taste good. If you really want to make soup, that's fine too, but put less vegetables and more ginger."
Being greedy can also stimulate one's potential. She, who has a clumsy tongue, managed to say such a long sentence without drooling.
The room suddenly became quiet, and several people stared at her for a few seconds.
Chen Dabao was the first to react. He said excitedly, "My mother is so capable. She is even more capable than Dabao. She can speak such a long speech." He actually cried a little at the end and looked at Chen Afu with admiration in his eyes.
Chen A Lu added, "Sister, you said so many things, but you didn't even drool."
What an honest child.
Wang put down her chopsticks and started chanting Buddhist scriptures, while Wang Ming also grinned and laughed.
The meal was a joy. Although the liver didn't look good, it tasted good, perhaps because it was from an organic pig. Wang gave Chen Ming the most, followed by Chen Ahfu, and then the two children, who ate the least.
