Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 279 Hidden Stake

"No, I can't help it." Chu Hanyan pouted.

To say it or not to say it? Chen Dabao was confused. He twisted his chubby fingers and looked at Chen Afu.

Chen Afu smiled and wiped Chu Hanyan's mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "If I can't bear it, there will be no surprise. Do you want a surprise?"

"I think." Chu Hanyan nodded.

"Then just be patient, just for three days." Chen Afu said.

Chu Hanyan nodded. But just after eating, she asked Chen Afu, "Auntie, why is it less than three days? I'm worried."

Amid Dabao and Chu Hanyan's eager anticipation, three days finally passed.

At noon that day, the rain that had been falling for several days had stopped. The vast sky was a clear blue, with only the thin clouds surrounding the setting sun being slightly reddish.

After they got off school, Dabao was carried by Chu Xiaoniu, and they walked to Fuyuan together with Mr. Chu, Chu Lingzhi and A Lu. From a distance, they saw Chen Afu holding Chu Hanyan standing at the door waiting for them. The breeze blew their skirts and fluttered.

In Dabao's eyes, his mother and sister are the two most beautiful women. I thought that if I stood among them, holding one hand with each other, the picture would look better. The more beautiful picture in his mind was forever engraved in his memory.

Dabao suppressed the turbulence in his heart and pretended that nothing happened. The old Marquis noticed his unnaturalness and happily pretended not to notice anything.

When they arrived at the gate of Fuyuan, Dabao looked at Chen Afu. Chen Afu smiled and nodded to him, which meant that she had completed the task he assigned.

Chen Dabao said to Chu Hanyan who was looking at him, "Sister, wait, brother will give it to you right away."

In the restaurant, the anxious Chu Hanyan finally looked forward to Chen Dabao. He walked up to the little girl with a smile, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Sister, my brother is giving you a birthday gift. This gift was not bought in a shop. It was designed by my brother and my mother and asked Grandpa Wu to Made.”

Then, he handed her a small crimson package.

Chu Hanyan said excitedly, "Thank you, brother."

She took the small package and tied a bow with a ribbon. She pulled back the ribbon and opened the silk cloth, revealing a beautiful little red comb, on which were engraved two flying swallows with their little mouths open.

Chu Lingzhi, who was also waiting to see the surprise, saw that it was an ordinary small comb. He was so disappointed that he curled his lips and wisely did not say anything.

But the little girl smiled brightly, jumped a little, and said, "What a beautiful comb, I like it."

Dabao laughed twice and emphasized, "Sister, my mother and I came up with the idea to draw this comb."

"Oh, brother is so capable." The little girl looked at him with adoring eyes.

Chen Afu wanted to laugh when he saw Chu Hanyan's cheering look. Not to mention a passable little comb, no matter how original it was, she would still like it for no reason. Not for anything else, just because it was given by Dabao, and there are still so many days of hope.

The old man pinched his beard and laughed loudly, "The little brothers and sisters get along so well. Okay, okay, that's how it should be."

At noon the next day, Dabao was not in high spirits when he came back from school, because he only had half-day classes today and no classes in the afternoon. The Chu family had to prepare and go to Dingzhou Prefecture early tomorrow morning.

Seeing that he was sad, Chu Hanyan felt very sorry and kept explaining, "I don't want to go to Fucheng to live my life, and I don't want to leave my brother either..."

Chen Dabao said depressedly, "Hey, my brother knows, but my sister can't make the decision in this matter."

In the evening, Chen Afu invited all three members of the Wang family over for dinner. Wang also gave the little girl a birthday gift, which was a set of pajamas and pajamas embroidered with giant pandas.

After seeing off the Chu family's three grandsons, Dabao and Alu still had to go to Tangyuan to attend classes with Mr. Liao on time, and Chen Afu also completely calmed down.

When she had nothing to do, she went to the north of Luyuan to look at her five acres of land, and watched Wang Laowu leading other long-term workers to harvest autumn corn. The watermelon field is a crop rotation. Next year, watermelons cannot be planted on these acres of land. After the autumn corn is harvested, radishes will be planted and then overwintered, and peanuts will be planted next spring.

Chen Afu really admired Wang Laowu very much. I wonder if his "local surrounding the center" hairstyle was done deliberately to complete the mission. No girl would marry a dirty and ugly man, which was a good excuse for him to remain single.

She later learned that there were not only Wang Laowu who protected Dabao, but also two nursing homes in Tangyuan, and one person each from Shangshui Village and Gujing Village, totaling five people. These five people were all set up by that person, and the leader was Wang Laowu. Even Chu Lingxuan only found out their true identities later.

Among these five people, the two nurses from Tangyuan had been working in the Marquis Mansion in the capital, and they had status and background, so they had wives and children. The other three are single.

Chen Afu feels that she should pay tribute to these underground workers who are fighting on the special front.

Of course, she should pay the highest respect to that person, their big boss.

Chen Afu often thinks about that person, the big boss, the father-in-law of Chu Lingxuan. He has reached such a high position, and yet he is ordered to carry out Infernal Affairs in a critical situation, which shows how important this task is. Although I met him twice, it was a pity that I was in a hurry and didn't take a closer look.

It is said that several men such as Wang Laowu cannot find women because of their missions, but Consort Chu is the opposite. He is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beauty...

In the blink of an eye, it’s September 13th, and Chen Afu is going to Dingzhou Prefecture tomorrow.

She had already agreed with Wang that Dabao would live in Luyuan during her absence. Xue Dagui, Chu Xiaoniu, and Qiuyue also lived there. The first two took him to and from school, and Qiuyue took care of his daily life.

Now Wang Laowu no longer lives in Xiangluo Village. Because he had to visit the melon fields in the past few months, Chen Afu specially had a row of houses built between Luyuan and the melon fields, and he lives there.

In this way, it would be much safer for Dabao to live in Luyuan than to follow her to Dingzhou Mansion.

In the evening, when Chen Afu told Dabao that he would go to Dingzhou Mansion to give birth to Chu Hanyan, but he could not go because his legs were not healed yet, Dabao grinned and started crying.

"Mom, my legs are already healed. I can run and jump. I don't need others to hold me. I can walk by myself..." He howled as he spoke, with a voice that could lift the roof off.

Chen Afu coaxed him softly, but was very insistent and couldn't take him there.

He cried continuously for an hour, and his voice became hoarse. Knowing that no more crying would make his mother change her mind, he sobbed and stopped. He said, "Mom, I won't go, but you have to come back soon. You have to remember that your son is waiting for you at home. It feels uncomfortable to wait for someone..."

As soon as this boy adopted a soft policy, Chen Afu raised his hands and surrendered. His heart was filled with sourness. He hugged him and said, "I will come back as soon as I finish my work. I can't bear to leave my son. I promise, I swear."

After coaxing him well, Xia Yue and Qiu Yue packed up his clothes and school supplies and took them to Luyuan first.
