Chapter 7 Humble

After dinner, Wang washed the dishes. She sat on the kang, lit the small oil lamp, and started embroidery again. A Lu took Da Bao to scoop some water into the pot, and then turned down the fire in the stove.

After that, A Lu and Da Bao also sat on the kang, took out an old book and put it under the oil lamp to recognize words, and Chen Ming taught them. Only Chen A Fu, who had nothing to do, was farthest from the oil lamp. He sat on a chair and watched those people working and studying.

Originally, Chen A Fu wanted to go to the yard to stretch her muscles, but Wang and Chen Da Bao were unwilling to do so, fearing that she would fall.

The book they read was "Thousand Characters", and it was obvious that Chen A Lu was not as smooth as Chen Da Bao. Some of Da Bao seemed to have memorized it, but in order to wait for A Lu, he still patiently followed A Lu to recite it repeatedly. It's not that Chen A Lu is stupid, but Chen Da Bao is too smart. He is just four years old, and he is really a little genius.

No wonder Chen Ming doesn't look like an authentic farmer, but he can read.

Seeing Wang's narrowed eyes, Chen Afu thought about exercising her body quickly and freeing her from doing embroidery work at night. If she continues like this, she will become blind in a few years.

Wang's embroidery work is very good, but she only takes on small items such as delicate handkerchiefs and purses, and the largest is just the fan. Perhaps, this kind of object is embroidered quickly and makes money quickly.

And A Lu's lame leg, if it was a fall, she should find a way to spend money to find a good doctor to treat it.

When Chen Afu was wandering in her mind, the swallows outside the window started to make noise again. There is a swallow's nest under the eaves, and there are two swallows in it. She thought of the swallow in her dream again, and thought of the space text, and she suddenly felt a little happy. Could she bring the space to farm? The little swallow, a spirit creature, can't get out of the space, so it will be angry and blame her.

Only when this body recovers can we find the answer.

Thinking of space and spiritual objects, Chen Afu's spirit was lifted. She had to exercise her body quickly to seek unknown answers.

She stood up and walked to the table on the kang, sat next to Chen Dabao, and followed Chen Dabao and Chen Alu to read aloud. In this way, not only did she find the source for her future recognition of words, but she also exercised her throat muscles, mouth and tongue. However, her broken gong-like voice was mixed with the two clear and pleasant voices of the little boys, which seemed unusually abrupt.

Not only did the whole family not dislike her, but they were also extremely happy.

It was probably the time of Hai, except for Wang who had to rush to work, everyone else had to rest.

Chen Afu shamelessly asked the two children to pour her face and feet washing water, washed her face and feet, and took off her clothes. Chen Dabao was also moved to a mess, and kept praising her, "Mom is so capable, you don't even need Dabao and little uncle to help."

However, the feet were still wiped by the little boy. Because as soon as she lifted her feet, her body fell on the kang disobediently, and she almost kicked Dabao.

Dabao covered her with the quilt, went out to wash his face and feet, and then got on the kang and got into the quilt. Chen Afu took advantage of the situation and hugged him in his arms, just like hugging a pillow in his previous life. However, this little pillow was too thin, not soft at all, and a little bit uncomfortable.

Dabao's thin arms also hugged Chen Afu and said, "Mother, your son is not playing tricks. Your son will always be your son. Your son will be filial to you and take care of you in your old age."

At the dinner table, Chen Ming and Wang asked them not to tell anyone about Chen Afu's improvement for the time being. Although they didn't say the reason, the sensitive little guy was still worried. He hoped that his mother would recover from her illness, but he was afraid that if his mother recovered from her illness, his great grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt Aju would drive him away and not let him be his mother's son. They, as well as some people in the village, said that he was a wild child picked up by the Chen family to be raised by a fool.

Chen Afu comforted him, "Well, Dabao is - mother's son, no one - can change it." Although he spoke slowly, he was still very powerful.

The little guy was moved and buried his little head in Chen Afu's arms.

Chen Afu asked again, "Grandpa - can you still read?"

Chen Dabao said, "Yes. Great grandmother often said that grandpa passed the Tongsheng in his early years. If he hadn't had lung disease, he would definitely have become a Juren..." He said proudly, "Mom, in fact, I can recite half of the "Thousand Character Classic", and I can recite all the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", but I can't recognize all the characters in them, and I can't write."

"Son - capable, very good." Chen Afu praised. Children should be praised, not to mention that this child is so smart that both humans and gods are angry. Then she said, "After mother recovers from her illness, I will buy her a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let Dabao go to school."

Chen Dabao was so happy that he pulled his little head out of her arms, looked at her with wide eyes, and asked, "Really?" The moonlight through the window lattice fell into his eyes, making his eyes brighter and more brilliant.

He completely trusted this silly mother.

"Yes." Chen Afu agreed.

Dabao smiled for a while and said, "If mother makes money, she should cure my uncle's leg first. Great grandmother always said that it was because she kept us two for free that she didn't have extra money to treat my uncle..."

The voice became lower and lower, and soon there was snoring.

Chen Afu wanted to ask how Alu's leg became lame, but he had fallen asleep. Afu fell asleep very late. She closed her eyes and thought about her worries. She also made oral exercises, opening her mouth, closing her mouth, and sticking out her tongue...

After a good night's sleep, Chen Afu was awakened by the sound of chickens and birds the next day. The sky was getting light and the morning sun was shining through the small window.

Chen Ahfu turned sideways, Dabao was still awake. This child is really good-looking, with fair skin, thick eyebrows flying sideways, long closed eyeliner slightly raised upwards, long and curly eyelashes, a straight and upright little nose, thin lips with sharp edges and corners, and a shallow groove on the little chin. This chin is called a beauty groove chin in modern times.

He is really a little handsome boy who only appears once every thousand years. She watched many movies and TV shows in her previous life, but she has never seen such a beautiful child star. From modern times to ancient times, it is a thousand years.

The only flaw is that he is too thin.

He pouted from time to time and could even murmur. At this time, he looked like a real child. He was too mature during the day, so mature that it made people feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, the boy wore tattered clothes during the day and his little face was dirty, so it didn't stand out so much.

Dabao didn't know what he dreamed about. His brows frowned and he muttered again, "Mom, mom, don't leave me..."

Chen Ahfu sighed slightly. Come to think of it, he knew at such a young age that he was picked up and was the son of a fool. With such a humble status, he was still afraid of getting lost, being kicked out of the house, and being homeless. So, he had to please everyone, especially this silly mother, he had to have a place in this family... Despite the care of Chen Ming and Wang, he still felt that he was surviving in the cracks and living cautiously.
