Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu was helpless when he saw the little guy squinting his little mung bean eyes and twitching the corners of his mouth. He was so gossiping. This little thing is sometimes very naive, and sometimes very thoughtful. I just discovered today that it is also slightly delusional.

She glared at it and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have already made it clear to you. He and I are from two different worlds. We are in the sky and the earth. How can we be together? Liu Xudong and I in the previous life The gap was not so big, but I was dumped so miserably. If I were to live again, I would not be stupid enough to fall in the same place and then try to climb a higher branch. Besides, he seems to already have a woman he likes, and maybe it won’t be long before he It’s time to get a wife. Hey, little Yan’er needs multiple stepmothers again, poor baby.”

As Chen Afu said, he shook his head helplessly, broke off one-fifth of the wood slag, and put the rest in the wallet out of the space. When they came out of the space, they heard Jin Yanzi saying harshly from behind, "No way, I'm an emotional psychoanalyst, how could I see the wrong person..."

Chen Afu went to the warehouse again, brought out two large pieces of frozen mutton, and asked Xue Dagui to use a plane to shave the mutton. The slices of meat cut out in this way are not only much thinner than those cut with a knife, but are also rolled, making them nice-looking and easy to pinch.

The chicken soup was already thick. Chen Afu stir-fried the hot pot ingredients, then added the chicken soup and continued to simmer. Of course, when adding the chicken soup, I also added the agarwood residue.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and heavy snowflakes are falling in the sky. The aroma wafting out of the kitchen window makes people stop and inhale hard.

Old man Zeng smelled the increasingly fragrant smell and said, "God, I have never smelled such a fragrant smell in all my life."

Chen Afu and others were busy in the kitchen. When she saw the snowflakes falling outside, she felt even more delighted. This is the perfect weather to eat hot pot.

There are not many dishes now. The meat dishes are only mutton rolls, shrimps, pork balls and fish balls, and the vegetarian dishes are cabbage, bean sprouts, lotus root slices, mushrooms, vermicelli, and tofu skin. In order to make it easier to eat hot pot at home and entertain guests, Chen Afu specially had four homemade charcoal stoves made of iron sheets and four square tables with hollow centers.

The Chen family couldn't afford Yinshuang Charcoal, so Aunt Luo sent someone back to Tangyuan to bring some over.

A table of hot pot was set up in the upper room, and stewards Chen Ming, A Lu, Dabao and Luo accompanied Chu Lingxuan to eat. There were two tables in the east room, one table of hot pot, and Mrs. Wang accompanied Aunt Luo, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Song, Aunt Zeng and Aunt Mu to eat. There is another table that is not hot pot, but some stewed vegetables and roasted vegetables. This is for the children, and Chen Afu accompanies them to eat. A table of hot pot was placed in the back room, for the male servants to eat, as a welcome to Old Man Zeng and others.

There were the fewest people in the hall, and the most dishes were prepared, including six plates of mutton rolls, four plates of fish balls, four plates of pork balls, and a few vegetables, but it was still not enough. They also ordered six large plates of mutton rolls to be cooked, and two small pots of vegetarian vegetables to be washed. In the end, the meat and vegetables were all gone, and only a few people put down their chopsticks.

Except for Dabao, who opened his small belly and ate his fill, the other people at this table barely touched the mutton rolls. Of the twelve plates of mutton, except for Dabao who ate half of the plate, almost all the rest went into Chu Lingxuan's stomach.

Chen Afu occasionally came out to take a look, and his heart twitched, fearing that he would suffer from gastroptosis.

Chu Lingxuan finished eating and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a silk handkerchief with great satisfaction. Chen Afu smiled at Chen Afu who came out, "Master A is really thoughtful, and the delicacies he prepares are always addictive. This hot pot is much more delicious than what I had at Hongyun Hot Pot Restaurant in Beijing. In a few days, my grandpa will I will come here from the capital to celebrate the New Year. My grandfather loves food the most. When the time comes, I will also ask Master Chen to make hot pot like this for him a few more times to make him happy."

Chen Afu nodded in agreement. I felt a little funny in my heart, and I didn’t know whether to do it for him or for Mr. Chu.

Chu Lingxuan said to Manager Luo again, "This time I brought back ten fat sheep from Dingzhou. You can send two over tomorrow... No, keep one at home and send the rest over."

Manager Luo bowed in response.

Chu Lingxuan stood up to say goodbye. Song's mother wrapped Chu Hanyan in a silk quilt. Chu Lingxuan took Chu Hanyan from Song's mother's hand and held her in her arms, and a group of people went out. Chen Afu asked Shanzi and Xue Dagui to send the Dahu brothers and sisters home.

I don't know when the heavy snow stopped. The ground was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and the sky was dotted with twinkling stars, making the sky even more deserted and bright.

After leaving Luyuan, the wind became even stronger. The cold wind swept through the open fields, passing through the dead branches covered with ice and snow, and whizzed past, wiping my ears.

Perhaps it was because his daughter was pressed against his chest, but Chu Lingxuan felt unusually warm in his heart. For many years, even on summer nights, no matter how many people were around him, he felt empty in his chest, extremely lonely and lonely. At this moment, there was not only warmth in his chest, but also strange satisfaction...

"Auntie, Dabao." Chu Hanyan called in his ear.

Chu Lingxuan stopped and looked back, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing at the entrance of Luyuan. Under the clear light, the two figures were looking towards them.

Seeing them turn around, the short figure raised his arms and waved to them.

"Giggle..." Two clear smiles sounded next to Chu Lingxuan's ears.

This is my daughter’s laughter! My daughter can laugh out loud.

Hearing his daughter's laughter for the first time, Chu Lingxuan was extremely excited. He looked at his daughter and saw that she was looking at the two people in the distance with a smile on her face. Then he said softly, "I like it, aunt... Dabao."

Chu Lingxuan was happy, but also a little hurt, and asked, "My daughter doesn't like her father?"

Chu Hanyan hugged his neck, looked away, touched his cheek with her own, and said, "I like...Daddy."

Chu Lingxuan laughed out loud and said, "Good girl, daddy likes you too."

"I also...like...aunt, Dabao." Chu Yan said with a hint of Nuonuo, and then urged, "Dad, say..."

Under the clear light, the little girl looked at him with bright eyes, full of expectation.

"Uh... um..." Chu Lingxuan looked back at the two figures and said into Chu Hanyan's ear, "Daughter, daddy is a man, and there are some words that are hard to say."

Although Chu Lingxuan didn't say what the little girl wanted to hear, his hot breath blew into her ears, tickling and hot, which made her feel very amused and she giggled twice.

Chu Lingxuan saw the little figure still waving to them. He looked at it for a while, then turned back and walked towards Tangyuan.

It wasn't until Chu Lingxuan and his daughter turned around the dead trees and could no longer see their figures that Dabao lowered his raised hand.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "I can't see them anymore. It's time to go back."
