Chapter 258 - 257, Annoyed
Chen Afu and several children had finished eating, while Chu Lingxuan and the old Lord continued to drink.
After they ate, the children were playing with the animals in the yard, and Chen Afu sat under the eaves and watched them.
It seemed livelier at Lu Garden, and aside from Chen Agu and his wife, the whole Chen family had gone there for dinner again.
Nowadays, Mrs. Chen practically eats dinner every day at Lu Garden. Chen Ye and Mrs. Hu also spend a good amount of time dining there. They like to eat under the trees in the courtyard, where it’s cool and spacious, so the sounds of dining and laughter can be heard over here.
According to the conversations, when they learned that Chen Ming had opened a food store in the county town, they also wanted to start their own business. Chen Ye thought that with the increasing wealth of the second and third families, if they didn’t work harder, the gap among the families would grow even wider...
Chen Afu was simply glad that he could live separately now. It was really a headache to stay mixed up with them all the time.
After finishing their meal, the old man left for Tang Garden first, while Chu Lingxuan stayed behind to play with Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi, who were still having fun in Fu Garden. Seeing the kids running towards the backyard, both Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan followed.
The children ran straight to the children’s playground. Chu Lingxuan continued walking forward without stopping, and Chen Afu had to follow him.
They reached the wall and saw that the cucumber vine was covered in yellow flowers and many finger-long cucumbers were growing. It was thriving indeed.
Chu Lingxuan stopped and laughed, "You not only raise people well but also cultivate flowers, vegetables, and fruits beautifully."
