As soon as August arrives, the rice harvest begins. There is a large rice field to the east of the www.biquge.info Village, and it is a busy time at this time, so Chen Afu does not allow Chen Dabao to take Qiqi and Gray Ash and Chase the Wind to play there during this time.

Chen Dabao took them to the west of the village for a walk in the morning and afternoon.

On this day, Dabao was still writing, and as soon as Chen Afu came back from watering, he saw Xiaoshi holding a gourd containing milk in one hand, and dragging a small birdcage and an extra-large birdcage in the other, looking very struggling.

He said, "Aunt Fu, this is the house that my second uncle made for Qiqi and Ash. ”

The two birdcages are exquisitely made, and there are small bowls made of wood, and the craftsmanship is almost up to that of the craftsman.

Chen Afu's eyes flashed over the black face and white teeth, as well as the big voice of the martial carpenter.

Like, it's not so good to receive something from him.

Chen Afu smiled, "Qiqi and Ash don't have cages, and they won't run around......"

The golden swallow squatting in the window chirped, "Mommy, take it quickly, Qiqi and Ash can't live there, and you can also give it to other birds." ”

When Chen Afu heard this, he had to take it and said with a smile, "It's beautiful, thank you." He took a few more caramel and gave them to the little stone.

It wasn't until Chen Dabao had learned enough for an hour that the two boys went out to play with three birds and one dog.

Today, Jin Yanzi also went, chasing the wind for a long time and struggled with his thoughts, but he still didn't dare to follow, looking at their backs and whimpering for a while.

At noon, when Chen Dabao came back, his expression was very sad, and he was reluctant to hold the golden swallow. He said to Chen Afu, "Mother, I saw a lot of geese and swallows flying in line from the north to the south today, will Jinbao also fly to the south?"

Chen Afu picked up Dabao and said, "Well, Jinbao will also fly to the south." She had heard the Golden Swallow say a few days ago that it must enter the space on August 5 every year, and it will not be able to leave the space until February 20 of the following year.

It doesn't come into the space because it's afraid that it won't be able to eat live insects and go hungry, but it's convention. No matter how against the sky, it is impossible for the golden swallow to stay outside in winter.

Chen Afu saw that Dabao's eyes were red, and said, "Dabao is not sad, next spring, Jinbao will fly back again." ”

Dabao said sadly, "What if Jinbao can't find his way home?"

"No, our Jinbao is the smartest swallow, and it can find its way home wherever it goes. Chen Afu said.

Jin Yanzi also chirped sadly, "There are still three days, people can only play outside for three days, and they will stay in the space until the spring flowers bloom next year." ”

Chen Afu was even more sad in his heart, Jin Yanzi was not outside, and his own force value was too weak. Chasing the wind is small, and it can't be of great use. Even when you grow up, you don't know how powerful it is.

Chen Afuliu Xiaoshi ate dinner, and when he left, he wrapped a few pieces of home-steamed red date cake.

In the evening, Chen Afu and Wang went to the town together, ready to buy some glutinous rice, meat, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients, and wanted to make glutinous rice balls for Golden Swallow. According to the Golden Swallow, its former owner would cook a few dishes that it liked to eat, including a pearl ball. Those dishes, only pearl balls are simple, and it doesn't cost much, so Chen Afu wants to make small things to comfort and comfort its sad little liver. By the way, she also wanted to buy some muslin and cotton, and was going to make something for her family.

With those dozens of taels of gold ingots, Chen Afu has enough confidence to spend money.

She didn't say that she would make pearl balls for Jin Yanzi, but she only said that she had heard sister-in-law Changgen say that pearl balls were delicious, and she wanted to try to make them.

Chen Dabao still wanted to go, but Chen Afu didn't let him, and still asked him to go to the west of the village to pick up more firewood.

Dressed in a half-old green bikini and a hat, she and the Wang family carried the path directly east from the side of their yard to Mingshui Town.

In early autumn, the sky is blue and high, and although the weather is getting cooler, the sun is still strong, and people can't open their eyes.

The farmers in the rice fields are busy nervously, sweating profusely, but the smiles on their faces are happy.

Chen Ah Fu and Wang walked through the rice paddies and into a small forest, and finally cooled down. But in the distance, I saw six or seven carriages and twenty strong men on horseback heading towards the Tang Garden, and the vermilion gate, which seemed to be closed forever, was also opened.

Chen Afu thought of Uncle Chu in the mouth of Changgen's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chu, did they come to Zhuangzi to rest again?

Wang also noticed, she looked twice, sighed deeply, her eyes darkened, and turned away. After a while, he said leisurely, "In those mansions, looking at the rich scenery, in fact, life is not easy. Especially some people, who ...... heart, "may feel lost and quickly shut up."

Did she think of the little son-in-law who "had already become a big official"?

Chen Afu squeezed Wang's hand and said, "There is nothing bad about our little surname, although there is a lack of clothes and less food, but the family is united, friendly, and happy, which is incomparable to those big families." ”

Wang nodded with a smile and said, "Ah Fu said yes. ”

came to the town and bought the ingredients, Chen Afu took the Wang family to Buzhuang again. Wang Shi was surprised to see her buy so much cotton and muslin, "Ah Fu, why are you buying so much? ”

Chen Afu said, "And you, my father, and Ah Lu." ”

Wang said, "We don't have anything to change, we can use it." ”

Chen Afu said, "I saw it that day, your padded jackets and pants are very old and not warm. Alu's is already short, and his quilt and mattress have to be remade. ”

Wang Shi said, "Ah Lu can use your old mattresses." ”

Chen Afu said disapprovingly, "Our mattress was urinated on by Dabao, it smells bad and hard. No, make a new one. ”

Wang couldn't, so he had to let Chen Afu buy it. Or rather, "When I get home, I'll give you back the money we used for the three of us." ”

Chen Afu said, "Why is my mother still so polite to me, even if I am filial to my father." ”

Cotton and muslin filled the two baskets, and Chen Afu and Wang walked towards Xiangluo Village with one on their backs.

They were walking on the path, and they met the older man who had met many times.

Later, I learned that his name was Liu Erniu, and he was a filial son, but because his family was poor, his mother was paralyzed, and he never married a daughter-in-law. The old mother died the year before last, and after a delay, she was already thirty-three years old.

He greeted the two with a smile and said, "Second Aunt Chen, Sister Ah Fu, can you carry it?" Come, I'll help you." As he spoke, he wanted to come over and get the basket on Chen Afu's back.

Chen Afu hurriedly avoided it, frowned and said, "Thank you, Second Uncle Liu, no need, I can carry it." ”

Liu Erniu hurriedly smiled, "Just call me Second Brother Liu, I'm not that old yet......"

Wang was angry and said, "Bah, you don't cultivate old, you're half in the ground, and you're not old!" Liu Erniu, you used to call me Chen's second sister-in-law, why have you now become Chen's second aunt? You are only one year younger than Ah Fu's father, and you don't need to surrender yourself. After speaking, he pulled Chen Afu away.
