Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Mrs. Hu choked for a moment and said, I brought the words to you. Lao Wu asked me out of kindness for the sake of my relatives. Don't regret that you have lost the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Then, he got up and walked away angrily.

As soon as she left, the family's mood hit rock bottom. Mrs. Wang said worriedly, Hu Laowu is a gangster. He hasn't accomplished what he was worried about. He won't come to trouble our family, right?

Chen Ming sighed, After Dabao comes back, don't let him go out alone these days. Today my eldest brother and Agui went to the county town to sell grain. They won't be back until noon. I will go and talk to him in the evening. He then said to Chen Afu. , You should go out less.

Wang said, After I finish the embroidery work, I won't take any more work. I will do all the work of collecting firewood, carrying water, watering the ground, and washing clothes.

Chen Afu said, Mom and dad, don't panic. I will go to Tangyuan to talk to Steward Luo's house in the afternoon. After all, his young master also likes Qiqi and Huihui, and now our family has a very good relationship with them. Please help them. , go and beat Hu Laowu.

Chen Ming and Wang felt relieved after hearing this. No matter how arrogant Hu Laowu was, he would not dare to provoke Guanshi Luo.

Chen Afu stood up again and said, I'm going to find Dabao now.

Mrs. Wang pulled her and said, Don't go out, I'll go find her.

As soon as Wang went out, she saw Chen Dabao leading Zhui Feng back with a large bundle of firewood on his back. The bundle of firewood seemed bigger than the little man, as if it was trying to bend his waist.

Wang rushed over to take the firewood and said distressedly, Dabao, why did you pick up so much?

Dabao said, I want to save more firewood for grandpa.

Chen Afu picked him up, wiped the sweat from his head and said, Don't carry such heavy things in the future. It won't look good if you don't grow taller.

Chen Ming and Chen Afu solemnly told Dabao not to collect firewood or go out casually in the past few days. If you see people from Lao Hu's family or Chen Aju, stay away.

In the afternoon, Chen Afu saw that Dabao was still sleeping soundly, so he took Zhui Feng to the old courtyard with the small set of clothes he made for Luo Mei. Wang was waiting for her, and they went to Tangyuan together.

Although Zhui Feng is still small and may not be very powerful in combat, its cry is loud and can inspire courage.

Passing through a large paddy field, rapeseed is now grown in these fields. After walking through another forest, we came to the noble and mysterious Tang Garden. The vermilion door riveted with large copper nails and inlaid with a lion's face is tightly closed. Looking over the white courtyard wall, you can see the cornices in the garden hidden among the lush trees. Even outside, you can vaguely smell the sweet and sour crabapple fruit.

They walked back along the courtyard wall. I heard Dabao say that Steward Luo's house is behind Tangyuan. There is a row of courtyards where the servants of Tangyuan live. The first courtyard is his house.

Turning to the back of Tangyuan, there are several small courtyards connected in a row. The first courtyard is the largest, several times the size of the other courtyards.

It was Xiaoqing who opened the door.

Xiao Qing smiled and invited them into the yard, then raised her voice and shouted, Madam, Sister Ah Fu and Aunt Chen are here.

This is a large courtyard, very open and bright. Bluestone floor, blue brick house, a strange rockery in the middle of the yard, and two pomegranate trees planted on both sides, with many large red pomegranates on the trees. Such a decent house can only be matched by Gao Lizheng's family in Xiangluo Village.

Aunt Luo came out from the upper room to welcome her. He smiled and said, Hey, brothers and sisters of the Chen family, Ah Fu, what kind of wind has brought you here? Come in quickly.

A few people entered the room and chatted for a while. Chen Afu took out the small clothes and said with a smile, It's a little thoughtful, Mrs. Luo, don't dislike it.

This small set of clothes is a crimson-colored bijia, with a moon-white stand-up collar and trousers. The collar and cuffs of the Bijia are not hemmed with long strips of cloth like the contemporary ones, but with lace cut from blue satin, and small knots twisted with red ribbons are sewn in the center of the flower. There is also a yellow dog face with big ears sewn on the skirt. A red tongue sticks out of the dog's mouth, and it smiles heartily, which is unique and joyful.

The cut of the small and medium trousers is more unique, the crotch is not that big, simple and beautiful, and there are a few small flowers and a small dragonfly embroidered on the edges of the trousers.

Aunt Luo took the clothes and looked at them for a long time. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and kept praising how beautiful they were.

After that, Chen Afu said that he wanted to ask Manager Luo for help, and could he help his family and Hu Laowu to make peace. Because Hu Laowu was worried about her parrot, he didn't give it to her, and was afraid that he would seek revenge and cause trouble. What he was most worried about was that he was afraid that he would find someone to take advantage of Dabao.

Aunt Luo doesn't want anything to happen to Qiqi and Huihui, let alone Dabao. After all, the young master likes the child and the two parrots. The master also told her family to look after some of the Chen family. Besides, her grandchildren all play well with Dabao and eat a lot of food from the Chen family. This set of clothes is what she likes even more.

He said, Oh, what a coincidence. My head is still in Fucheng, and I have to wait until my little mistress celebrates her birthday next month to bring her back with her. However, my eldest son is at home, so let me go and negotiate an agreement. Same thing. My eldest son went to the county town this morning and came back in the evening. Let's do this. Let him meet that Hu Laowu tomorrow. A gangster is too frivolous. Don't be afraid. Just don't let Dabao leave the house today. .”

This is the only way to go. Chen Afu and Wang are very grateful.

When they returned home, they found that the door of the new courtyard was wide open, and Chen Dabao was not at home. Chen Ming and A Lu, who were in the old courtyard, did not know when he went out.

The whole family was panicked. Except for A Lu who was sitting on the kang and couldn't move much, the other three people went out to look for him. Chai Feng was very abnormal. He arched Chen Afu and screamed outside the village.

Chen Afu said, Maybe Dabao has gone outside the village. Let's follow Zhui Feng to find him.

Several people ran outside the village and went west to the grove, but they did not see Dabao. Zhui Feng continued to push Chen Afu to the west.

At this time, Chen Ming was exhausted and his face was pale.

Chen Afu hurriedly supported him and said, Dad, please go home. If you are tired again, the house will be even more chaotic. Mom and I can just go find it. After saying this, he felt very embarrassed, because Chen Ming couldn't leave by himself in this state. go home.

Just as he was talking, he saw brothers Wu Changgen and Wu Changsheng driving an ox cart from far away. They had just returned from delivering furniture to the neighboring village.

Wu Changsheng heard about it and volunteered to look for it together.

They asked Wu Changgen to drive Chen Ming to several houses, while Wu Changsheng, Chen Afu, and Wang took Zhui Feng to find someone. Chen Afu also told Chen Ming that if they didn't come back within an hour, he would ask him to find relatives in the clan to help him find them.

They followed Zhui Feng all the way to the west, passed through Guqiao Village and then north, passing through a large field, a small river, and a wasteland, and arrived at the black pine forest four or five miles away from Xiangluo Village.

Zhui Feng took them towards the forest again.
