Chen Afu opened the package brought by Steward Luo, which contained a bag of candy, a bag of snacks, a bag of begonia fruit preserves, and four books. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dabao said, "When Abbot Lichen heard that my uncle and I were going to go to school at Sheung Shui Private School, he gave us two books and asked me and my uncle to work hard. Sister Yan'er is back in the city, and she is going back to the nunnery. "I'm reluctant to see them.

Chen Afu was grateful to Abbot Chen, she was really a kind and understanding woman. He asked again, "Since the uncle of that family went to the capital on business, why did he send Miss Chu back to the city?"

Dabao said, "It seems that they said that it was time to see a doctor and take medicine for Sister Yan'er." Also, next month, Yan'er's sister will celebrate her fourth birthday, and it is said that relatives in the capital and the provincial capital will go to Fucheng to celebrate her life. ”

In the evening, it is made of celery and meat stuffed dumplings. People are happy to eat, and two birds and one dog are also happy to eat.

After dinner, the family gossiped in the East House and listened to Dabao talk about some things in Tangyuan. Ah Lu fiddled with the new book for him, and he was so happy that it was the first time he had taken a new book. Several of the books at home are old and old, they are yellow, and there are missing pages.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling the door outside the door, and it turned out to be Aunt Luo, the daughter-in-law of Luo's steward.

What is she doing when she comes home so late?

Chen Afu wondered if he was wondering, or quickly invited her into the West House. Wang came to accompany her, and Chen Afu served tea again, and took peanuts and candy out to entertain her.

Aunt Luo is the most powerful and respected woman in the neighborhood, even if it is Gao Lizheng's family, it is not easy to invite her to be a guest.

She was in her forties, with clear eyebrows, a satin gown, and a jade hairpin on her head. At this time, there was no shelf, and he took Wang's hand and said with a smile, "I know that the eldest sister is an embroidery girl, and she is skillful, but I didn't expect that the girl who was born is more skillful in her hands and thoughts, and the doll she made is really handsome, which pleases my master and sister." Especially my sister, ouch, I haven't seen her so happy. My master specially asked me to thank you, thank you for your heart. And he added, "My grandson and granddaughter also like the dolls you made for them, thank you." ”

Wang Shi smiled humbly, "It should be, it is also our blessing to be liked by your master and Mrs. Deluo." ”

Aunt Luo opened a package, which contained two sets of pen and ink inkstones, two knives of paper, and said with a smile, "This is the master of my family who sent your two boys to let them study hard." His expression became serious again, and he lowered his voice and said, "Let Dabao keep his mouth tight, and don't take out my sister's affairs and talk nonsense." ”

Wang hurriedly said, "No, my family's treasure is smart and knows which words to say and which not to say." ”

Aunt Luo nodded, took out another purse, took out four small silver ingots of ten taels from it, and said with a smile, "This is the master of my family to give you, saying that the dolls made by Ah Fu are excellent, she has a heart and has worked hard." It's just that these little swallow dolls are what my sister likes to play with, and I hope you don't make the same dolls and sell them for money. I hope that Xiaoyanzi will smile, only my sister will have this kindness. ”

Chen Afu said in his heart, speaking of which, they are still afraid of spreading the illness of her little master. Even if I have the courage to do this, I don't dare to do it.

Wang said that she was embarrassed, but Aunt Luo still stuffed the silver into her hand.

Aunt Luo opened another small package, and there was a small box inside, and there were six very beautiful juan flowers in the small box. There is also a small jar, and as soon as the lid is opened, a sweet smell spreads through. She smiled, "This flower was bought in the capital and given to Ah Fudai." This can of begonia jam is made by myself, and it is particularly delicious to dip in steamed buns and wotou. This is what we sent, don't be disgusted. ”

Chen Afu and Wang are grateful again.

After that, she looked at Chen Afu's eyes even more warmly, and said with a smile, "Afu really has a seven-trick heart." No one could have imagined that a doll could do that. ”

Then he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something to say to the Wang family alone, and Chen Afu withdrew in interest.

It turned out that Aunt Luo was asking what medicine Wang had given Chen Afu and where he had seen a doctor. He also said, "It's a distant relative of my family, and she has something bad about her, and I want to ask." ”

As soon as he talked about this topic, Wang thought of the bitterness and running around at the beginning, his eyes couldn't help but turn a little red, and he talked more.

She said that she took her daughter to see a doctor and take medicine, how many home remedies she took, and how many cold words she suffered, and people said that it couldn't be cured, but she just didn't believe that her daughter would continue to be stupid. How many Bodhisattvas he worshipped, as well as the life that the senior monk of Lingyin Temple gave to Chen Afu, and even said that he took Afu to Yingxue Nunnery to find the abbot of Chen.

He also said, "Until now, I remember Abbot Chen's pity when he looked at my family Afu, she didn't treat Afu as a poor person, she didn't look down on us, and she gave Afu a vegetarian ......."

When Aunt Luo heard this, her eyes seemed to be a little red, and she said, "Abbot Lichen is so compassionate. I won't hide it from you, my master is the abbot of Chen, and he left home for some unavoidable reasons. If you know this, don't tell it. Your big treasure is likable, and my sister seems to be able to only play with him. In the future, when my sister comes to Zhuangzi to visit my master, I still have to let Dabao come to play with her. If Jinbao really comes to your house next year, I will also take it to Tangyuan to play with my sister......"

After Aunt Luo inquired about Chen Afu's medical process from Wang's mouth, she left the Chen family satisfied. also said to Dabao who came out to send her, "My sister will come to Tangyuan again in the future, and invite Dabao to play." ”

Dabao said obediently, "Okay, I'm also looking forward to Sister Yan'er coming to the countryside to play again." ”

After sending Aunt Luo away, Wang handed the purse containing silver to Chen Afu and said, "Those dolls are all you thought of, and you have all these silvers." ”

Chen Afu took the purse with a smile, took out two silver ingots from it and handed them to Wang, and said with a smile, "My mother also did it, these two are for you." ”

Wang said, "That doll is what you came up with, you take three, and my mother wants one." ”

Chen Afu stuffed the two silver ingots into Wang's hands and said, "They also have a meaning for this silver, that is, they don't want us to tell about making these swallow dolls, that is, not to tell about his sister's illness." Then he said to Ah Lu and Dabao, "Remember, don't ask anyone about the little girl of the Chu family." ”

Dabao and Ah Lu nodded hurriedly.

Aunt Luo returned to Tangyuan, and there was a little steward Luo standing at the door. When he saw her coming, he helped her into the gate, and closed it again. asked in a low voice, "Mother, have you asked clearly?"
