Chapter 335: Long and Short
As soon as Chen Dabao mentioned Jinbao, he remembered that the golden swallow he had been looking forward to for a long time had not yet appeared. He pulled Chen Afu's shirt and said anxiously, "Mother, why hasn't Jinbao come home yet? I saw a lot of geese and swallows flying north, why hasn't it come to us yet?" Will it forget its way home?"
Chu Hanyan has also been looking forward to the golden swallow, and after listening to Dabao's words, she pouted and wanted to cry or not.
Chen Afu smiled, "What a coincidence, we met Jinbao on the road, and he stayed with us for two days." It's just that he misses the forest too much, so he flew to the forest to play first, and maybe he will be back in the evening. ”
Dabao jumped happily for a moment, then pouted again, and said, "Jinbao should think that my sister and I should be more, we think that it can't sleep well and can't eat, but it ran away to the forest first." ”
Little Miss Chu didn't think so much, and when she heard that Jinbao could find her way home, she smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Children are always the friendliest to children, and after Li Xuan became familiar with these two brothers and sisters, he also pursed his lips and smiled at them.
For Li Xuan's safety, naturally he can't be said to be the grandson of the emperor, only that he is the son of Chu Lingxuan's friend. Because of some special circumstances, he came to Tangyuan to be raised by Chen Afu for a period of time. Therefore, let Li Xuan temporarily call Uncle Chu Lingxuan and Aunt Chen Afu, instead of calling them brother and sister-in-law according to Princess Zhaorong's seniority, which was discussed in the capital. Of course, I didn't dare to let him call Dabao uncle.
Chen Afu put Li Xuan on the Luohan bed and let the two children play with him. She went to take out all the gifts for the two children and the animal house, and also bought gifts for Mr. Liao and some decent subordinates of Steward Luo. This time, I didn't dare to leak Qiqi and Ash, so I bought a special silver ankle ring for their family and put it on for them myself.
The two little guys were very happy, and Qiqi learned Chen Ye's voice and said, "Well, the eldest brother has accepted your love." ”
Ash Ash said in Hu's voice again, "Yo, it's so-so." "It's not as smart as Qiqi, and the meaning of some of its words is not very clear, and I think it's praising Chen Afu.
Chen Afu couldn't cry or laugh, as soon as Chen Mingjia sent things to the big house, Chen Ye and Hu liked to say these two sentences, and even they learned it.
In the Lu Garden, Wang pulled Wang Cheng to sit on the kang, crying and talking about some experiences. Chen Ming felt that it was almost over, and said with a smile, "Juan Niang, it's time for Chengzi and them to go and see where they live." After walking so far, I had to let them wash up. ”
When Wang heard this, he got up and dragged Wang Cheng to the east chamber. said, "Your family will live here in the future...... She noticed that Wu's walking was not very neat, and Maimenkan also asked Tan Pozi to help her, and asked, "My brother and sister are not in good health?"
Wang Cheng said, "I was sick during the confinement. ”
Wang hurriedly went to help Wu and said, "Ouch, why didn't you say it earlier? Quick, sit on the bed, I'll have someone make you a bowl of ginseng soup. ”
Wu saw the anxiety and distress in Wang's eyes, and was so moved that tears came out. There are so many close relatives in his mother's family, but no one has even a little pity for himself.
Wang asked Wang Cheng's family to wash in the East Chamber, and she went to the kitchen to let Aunt Mu make ginseng soup.
Wu was tired, so he went to bed to rest after washing, and Wang Cheng led the two children to the upper room.
Wang Xiaodi and Wang Xiaomei noticed that there were three big dogs and two small dogs lying on the straw mat under the eaves of the west wing. Children love animals, but when they saw that the three big dogs were very tall and fierce, they did not dare to go there.
Ah Lu smiled, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't touch their little babies, they won't kill you." Then, he took his little brother and sister and stood aside to watch them.
Chasing Wind and Sasa immediately became vigilant, and they did not allow anyone to come near their babies except their own family. But seeing that the two of them had no intention of moving the baby, they lay down leisurely again. Cai Wang was far away from the family of four, and was sleeping on his stomach.
It was already dark, the sky was full of stars, and the food was ready, but Chen Ming still didn't let anyone serve it, and they had to wait for their son-in-law's family.
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu came with three children, two parrots and a cart of gifts. As soon as they entered Lu Garden, Chasing Wind and Sassa ran towards Chen Afu with a small puppy in their mouths.
Chen Afu squatted down and took the two baby dogs from their mouths. The little one has just been born for ten days, and his eyes have not yet opened, and he has taken the advantages of his parents, white fur and gray ears. If you look closely, it is true that one has a longer nose and the other has a shorter nose, crawling in Chen Afu's arms and humming quietly.
Chen Afu said, "God, what two beautiful babies, I have never seen such a cute puppy." ”
I was so happy that I chased the wind and howled a few times, wanting to pounce on the master, but I was afraid of touching the baby to the ground, so I had to stretch out my long tongue and lick the master's clothes. His sassy eyes were shining, and he looked at Chen Afu without blinking.
Chen Afu smiled at it and said, "Sassa is really capable, and she gave birth to two cute children." ”
After talking to this family for a while, and giving it the braised pig bones that he brought to Wangcai, Chen Afu entered the upper room.
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu, as well as Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan, knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Ming and Wang, Chu Lingxuan had already changed his words, and Chu Hanyan began to call Chen Ming and Wang "grandpa" and "grandma" today.
Chen Ming and Wang happily gave each of them a red envelope.
The meal was already on the table. Originally, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Ming, and Wang Cheng had a table for men, and a table for women and children. But today's situation was special, and Wang was also invited to the main table.
The Wu family was still resting, and only Chen Afu was an adult at the other table leading a group of children to eat, and Li Xuan was fed by Mama Wei.
Wang pointed to a plate of pickled vegetables and fried oil residue and said, "Chengzi, you liked to eat this dish the most when you were a child, and this is specially cooked by my sister." ”
Wang Cheng took a bite and nodded, "Well, it's this taste, I've thought about it for many years." Later, the little brother and mother also fried it, but it was not so delicious. ”
Wang smiled, "If you like it, eat more." Then, keep pouring vegetables into his bowl.
After filling Wang Cheng's bowls, Wang noticed Chu Lingxuan, and said embarrassedly, "Let my son-in-law smile, as soon as I see Chengzi, I can't care about anything." ”
Chu Lingxuan smiled, "Where, mother-in-law is polite." ”
Wang Cheng had been immersed in the joy of reuniting with his sister just now, and Chu Lingxuan's words made him sober up again. He has been in the barracks for nearly twenty years, and even a nine-grade petty official has been calling him back and forth, which has made the commander unhappy, and he will be hit in both legs. And such a big official sitting next to him to eat, even if it was the husband of his nephew's daughter, made him tremble.
As soon as he was frightened, his hands trembled again.
Chu Lingxuan was very helpless, and said in a coaxing voice with Chu Hanyan, "Uncle, don't be afraid. At home, we are relatives, and you are still my elders. If you do this, Ah Fu will be angry with me when you go home. ”
After speaking, he raised his wine glass with a smile and toasted Wang Cheng and Chen Ming.
