When they returned to Chen Shi's house, it was already the end of the 3:00 p.m.
As soon as the carriage entered the alley, the aroma of stewed meat could be smelled. The horseman Qingbo took a few deep breaths and said, "I didn't expect there is such a delicious stewed meat here. Which shop is it from? I'll buy some to go with my wine."
Dabao said proudly, "This is the braised skewers from my third uncle's house. Grandpa Qing doesn't need to buy any. When we get home, I'll treat Grandpa Qing to a few more skewers."
This made Qingbo laugh out loud.
The carriage arrived at the door of Chen San's grocery store, where we saw seven or eight people standing there selling braised skewers. There were also three people sitting at a small table nearby, eating braised skewers or peanuts and drinking wine.
Dabao urged Qingbo to try his braised skewers. Qingbo was really tempted by the taste, so he parked the carriage at the base of the wall at the backyard of the clan school.
Chen Ming had just returned from the clan school after selling braised skewers. Hearing that this man was from General Chu's mansion, he warmly invited him to drink and eat braised skewers. Because Qing Bo wanted to watch the carriage, he could only eat at the small table in front of the store.
Chen Ming took out a small porcelain basin, which contained dozens of braised skewers, both meat and vegetables. He also bought some wine from the wine shop next door, and personally accompanied Qingbo to eat and drink at the small table. Qingbo still had to drive, so he didn't dare let him drink too much, so he only bought half a catty of wine.
Chen Afu returned to the backyard, and Dabao acted like a host, accompanying Qingbo to eat braised skewers at the small table.
At dinner time, Chen Shi returned to the backyard from the shop. He said that he had sent Qingbo away, and according to Chen Afu's instructions, he asked Qingbo to bring a small porcelain bowl of braised skewers to Luo, the steward.
In order to entertain Qingbo and give him gifts, many people who came to buy braised skewers went home empty-handed, which made them very unhappy. Chen Ming took out the maltose in the shop and gave two taels to each family as an apology, saying that he would satisfy them first tomorrow.
Chen Afu once again secretly praised Chen Shi for being smart and knowing his limits.
Now that the family had made some money, they had a good meal. In the evening, they had noodles with minced meat and bought a pound of braised pork head from the front street. There was nothing they could do. The braised food they had was in short supply, so they had to sell it all.
Chen Ayu, who went to buy braised pork head, came back and said with a smile, "Boss Yang saw that my nose was not a nose and my eyes were not eyes, and said that our family had taken over his business..."
Chen Shi laughed out loud. He was so happy. He didn't expect his business to be so good. He said that when he made more money in the future, he would find a good shop at the port. Of course, he also thanked Chen Afu sincerely.
After dinner, Ah Lu and Da Bao, who were walking on crutches, took their books to the living room to ask Ah Tang for help with their homework. Little Ah Tang felt very accomplished and patiently guided the two.
Seeing his youngest son so capable, Chen Shi's eyes were all smiles. He secretly decided to make more money to support his son in taking the imperial examination.
Chen Ahfu gave Chen Shi's family a pack of snacks sent by the Chu Mansion. Then she went into the guest room, locked the door, and entered the space. She also asked Jin Yanzi for some more Yan Chenxiang leaves to put into the big swallow's doll.
He also put two snacks and some candies in his pocket. These were the food given by the Chu family. They looked good and tasted good. The little one would definitely love them.
Chen Afu was helpless when she took these things into the toilet. There was no private place for her to disappear suddenly except the toilet.
She entered the space, but saw Jin Yanzi lying dead on the ground, with her little head covered with her big wings, and her little body twitching.
Chen Ahfu pointed at its small body with his finger and said, "Why, Jinbao is tired?"
The golden swallow took its wings away and started crying. Its tears were so many that they wet the hair on its head. Its eyes were swollen to a slit. Its little pointed mouth was still open, and it was crying.
Chen Ahfu was startled, and hurriedly grabbed it in his hand and asked, "Jinbao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Mommy."
The golden swallow cried even harder, sobbing, "Fu Ma, how could you say that about me? How could you say my name sounds like a nouveau riche? I helped you with all my heart, how could you hurt my heart like this, woooo woooo..." It lay on its back in Chen Ahfu's palm, spread its wings and cried loudly.
It turned out that I was the one who made it sad.
Chen Afu blamed herself. She just wanted to cheer Chu Hanyan up and used its name as a joke, but it hurt its heart. She made so much money because of this little thing, but it made it so sad. It was really wrong.
Chen Ahfu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Jin Baoer, Mommy was just joking..."
"Even if you're joking, you can't build your happiness on other people's pain." Jin Yanzi sobbed.
Chen Ahfu said again, "Yes, yes, it's Mommy's fault. Mommy said the wrong thing. Mommy will never say this again next time. Mommy swears..."
Seeing that Jin Yanzi was still crying, Chen Ahfu said, "Jin Baoer, Mommy will sing another song to praise Xiaoyanzi. Do you want to listen?"
"Isn't it the one with 'Little Swallow in a Flowery Dress'?" Golden Swallow asked, raising her little head slightly.
"Well, it's another song with a more cheerful rhythm, and it makes Swallow sound very capable. Do you want to listen to it?" asked Chen Afu.
Jin Yanzi's sobbing became quieter, so Chen Ahfu sang an old song from his previous life with modified lyrics:
The swallows are at the top of the trees, and the white clouds are floating in front of me
I can hold the clouds in my mouth and build a nest.
The swallow doesn't want to fly The swallow doesn't want to fly
The swallows are building their nests deep in the fragrance
The swallows are at the top of the trees, the moonlight is shining in the forest
The magpie and the oriole have fallen asleep
That Yan'er can't sleep. That Yan'er can't sleep.
Swallows build golden nests
…
When Chen Afu sang the first time, Jin Yanzi was lying there listening with a bit of pride. But when he sang the second time, she stood up, flapped her wings and gently shook her little body with her eyes closed, looking extremely intoxicated.
After singing it three times, Chen Ahfu asked, "Does it sound good?"
The golden swallow opened its eyes, stuffed the two little wing tips into its mouth, and said coquettishly, "It sounds nice, very nice, and it also praises my ability." As there was something in its mouth, its voice was a little muffled and not as crisp as usual.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Baby has always been so capable in Mommy's heart."
Jin Yanzi was very touched, her little swollen eyes were filled with laughter, and she chirped, "I know, mommy is fine."
This little thing is very smart when it is smart, and very naive when it is naive.
Seeing its eyes swollen and much smaller than usual, Chen Ahfu felt bad for fooling the little thing. Seeing its little wing tip was taken out, he held it and kissed its little pointed mouth. He said softly, "Baby, don't cry like this in the future. Mommy feels sad when you see it."
It was the second time in her life that she was kissed, and Jinyanzi was so happy that she went crazy. Besides, what her mother said really touched her.
It spread its wings so beautifully and flew around Yan Chenxiang, then landed on Chen Ahfu's hand, tilted its little head and giggled, "Mommy, you are so good, so brave, and you know how to appreciate."
