Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

In the night wind, Zhui Feng and Wang Cai were still quite excited, howling and running in front of the carriage, while the two parrots had already fallen asleep in the straw basket carried by Dabao.

The carriage rocked and rocked, and within a short time the Yang family's little brother and sister were swayed to sleep. Usually at home, they would have gone to bed early. Chen Afu and Huang's mother each held one and wrapped it in a small quilt.

Although Dabao was a little sleepy, he did not let his mother hug him. He also took care of the sleeping parrots and covered them with cloth towels.

Children from poor families become parents early. Chen Afu looked at Yang Chao in his arms and then at Dabao, feeling a little sad. He said softly and apologetically, "Brother Chao is a guest."

Dabao rubbed his head against Chen Afu's arm and said, "Well, my son knows that he won't be jealous of Brother Chao."

Mother Huang said softly, "Dabao is such a good boy."

As soon as they entered the house, Alu greeted them.

Chen Afu was very embarrassed. Today was one of the most important days in Alu's life, but he did not share his joy immediately.

A Lu wanted to talk to his sister, but stopped when he saw Yang Chao sleeping in her arms.

After Chen Afu had settled the two children, he led Dabao, who was awake again, to the bedroom in the east room of the old home, where Chen Ming, Wang and Alu were all waiting.

The family huddled on the warm kang and listened to Alu's detailed account of the situation at school today. Chen Ming and Wang both listened to it several times, but they still couldn't get enough of it with smiles on their faces.

Several people encouraged him, and Chen Afu even put his arm around his shoulders and said, "My sister is waiting for my brother to succeed and support the family."

After nearly half an hour, they went to rest.

The next day, Chen Afu got up early again and made two pots of golden silk cakes, one of which he wanted to take back to the Yang family.

After breakfast, Yang Mingyuan rushed to Chen's house. Yang Chao and Yang Qian cried and fussed, but were still forced into the carriage.

The carriage had gone out for a while, and the little brother and sister still stuck their heads out of the window and cried, "Aunt Chen, next time we come to your house, we will stay longer."

Chen Afu smiled and nodded, and Dabao said in a loud voice, "Okay, let's wait."

Later, Chen Afu learned that Yang Mingyuan had sold out all the restaurants in the county in order to raise funds, and took all his property to start a business in the capital. What an adventurer!

In a blink of an eye, it entered the winter moon. There is strength in numbers. The bushland had been cleared a few days ago and the construction of the house had begun.

Two courtyards were built at the same time. Chen Ming wanted to move in before the year before.

There were not enough people in the village, so we hired a team of construction workers who specialized in building houses in the county towns. In this way, we had to provide meals, and also pay people from the third grandfather's family to help cook, and then deliver them at noon. The third grandfather’s family has many children and grandchildren, so they look for work everywhere during the slack time. Not only did the two grandsons help build the house, but the women also helped with the cooking, earning some money at once.

Chen Ming's yard was slightly smaller, with only three acres of land. He used the half-acre of land as a "isolation zone" between the two yards. Because Chen Afu's yard also functions as a kindergarten, it is slightly larger. It is not only three and a half acres, but also includes the extra three points of land, for a total of three and eight acres.

Both houses are curved houses with two entrances. The main house, the east wing, the west wing, the reverse wing, and the back room all have wells.

Chen Ming's house is similar to most small landowners' houses in the countryside. The front yard is planted with flowers, trees, and stone tables and benches, while the back yard is planned as a cowshed, pig pen, chicken pen, and vegetable growing.

But Chen Afu's family is different from them. Not only do they have to plant flowers, plants and trees like wealthy families, they also carve railings and pillars, large windows, and the four rooms in the west wing must also be paved with wooden boards. What's even more different is that a children's paradise will be built.

Originally, Chen Afu asked Chen Ming to make it better, at least to carve railings and pillars. But Chen Ming was unwilling. He defined himself as a small landowner and arranged his home strictly according to this standard. It is said that this is practical, and there is no need for people in the countryside to make those fancy things.

Every day when he went to work in Tangyuan, Dabao would take Chen Afu to look at his new house and have fun for a long time. Almost every day I ask the same question, "Mom, when will the new house be built and when can we move in?"

Chen Afu would answer with a smile, "Our home is more complicated, and we have to wait until after the new year. Grandpa's house will be repaired first, and we will move there before the end of the year. We will live in grandpa's house first."

Grandpa's house is also a large tiled house in the new courtyard, and Dabao's eyebrows are creasing with joy.

Their furniture was outsourced to Wu Carpenter's family. Chen Afu drew some more drawings and asked the carpenter Wu and the iron shop in the town to help him make some weird things.

When she went to find Carpenter Wu, Wu Changsheng looked at her with resentment and always wanted to get close to her, but Carpenter Wu scolded him and ran away.

Wu Changsheng has been engaged to her cousin, and they will get married in the new year.

Chen Afu had already left the Wu family, and Wu Changsheng ran out and said to her, "Sister Afu, from now on, I will treat you as my biological sister. If you need my help with anything, I will help you as before."

Seeing his injured eyes, Chen Afu was a little moved and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wu. I also wish you a happy life."

During these many days, Abbot Liaochen came to Tangyuan to stay for two days. Chen Afu only rested at home for these two days, and devoted the rest of his rest time to the little girl. However, the monthly payment that Manager Luo gave her at the end of last month was five taels of silver, which was much more than the two taels originally mentioned.

At noon on the fifth day of the winter lunar month, Chen Afu was playing with his children in the living room when he saw Luo Yuan wandering at the door. He went to Fucheng for business the day before yesterday, so he helped take the two sets of clothes, the lucky cat doll, the bag, the cotton nightgown and the cotton mops to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop. He just came back.

Chen Afu clapped his hands twice and said, "Okay, get out of class is over."

Chen Afu walked out and heard Luo Yuan say that shopkeeper Luo liked those things very much.

Because of those kinds of buckles, not only is the business of the Nishang Embroidery Shop doing better now, but its reputation has also become a little better. Many ladies from wealthy families only use buckles made by neon clothes embroidery workshops. It has become a fashion to use buckles to decorate their clothes. At the same time, the embroidery shop's fabrics are selling better than before.

In fact, many wealthy people now have sewing rooms, and they may not always buy ready-made clothes in embroidery shops. But if there is a beautiful and unique set of ready-made clothes hanging in the embroidery workshop, or beautiful accessories, the female relatives will buy the fabric from the embroidery workshop and go back to make it like that. If a certain embroidery studio's ready-made clothes are unique and beautiful, women will often visit that embroidery studio. Some buy ready-made clothes, and some buy fabrics.

Therefore, beautiful ready-made clothes and accessories not only sell money, but also attract customers for the embroidery shop's fabrics.

Luo Yuan also said that shopkeeper Luo asked Chen Afu to lead people to make more auspicious cat dolls and bags and send them to the embroidery workshop regularly. This job was requested by Chen Afu from Wang and Gao.

Thank you for your monthly votes and rewards, thank you!
