The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 147

Compared to the mountains, the house was lively and comfortable. Before he woke up early in the morning, Lu Gu heard the rooster crowing. He only slept in the middle of the night last night, and the bed was so warm that he didn’t want to get up. .

Shen Xuanqing didn’t reject the husband who was throwing his arms around. He also didn’t open his eyes. After hugging him, he said in a low voice, “Sleep a little longer.”

The chicken and duck coops in the backyard are far away, and when the weather is cold, except for the roosters crowing, most of the other livestock are still huddled in the nest.

The villagers all get up early, and there are no neighbors next to the new house, so they can’t hear the movement of each house, but it didn’t take long for the courtyard door to be slammed, and the voice was Wei Lanxiang.

The dog sleeping on the sack heard that it was an acquaintance, and didn’t move, only the good boy whimpered and wagged his tail, but it also didn’t get up.

Lu Gu opened his eyes. There were no lamps and candles in the room, and the light was not good. There was only a dim light from the window paper.

“No need to get up, I’ll open the door.” Shen Xuanqing sat up, quickly put on his clothes, and rubbed his face when he went out.

Lu Gu turned on his side and lay on the bed, holding the quilt in his arms and lost his mind. After he woke up, he remembered that it was time to feed the cows. The voices of Wei Lanxiang and Shen Xuanqing could be heard outside, and he heard footsteps. Afterwards, he propped up his upper body and called out “Mother”.

“Hey.” Wei Lanxiang agreed, she didn’t enter the door, she just called to the room: “You two sleep, I’ll feed the cattle and sheep, don’t worry.”

In the past, every time we went down the mountain, Wei Lanxiang would ask them to take a rest, and there was no need to do a lot of work at home, people would get used to it, and with Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu felt that he was up late. Things are not as scary as they used to be.

If nothing else, Wei Lanxiang has never had too many family laws and rules for her daughter-in-law and son-in-law. Naturally, she doesn’t care about Lu Gu not getting up and coming out to greet her, but instead let him and Shen Xuanqing sleep for a while.

Not only the two of them, but Shen Yaoqing and Shen Yan didn’t get up this morning either. Feeding the cows was Shen Yaoqing’s job originally, but Wei Lanxiang felt sorry for her son, so she came by herself.

Shen Xuanqing was very calm, not being polite to his own mother, but just feeding the grass. The grass was basically laid the day before, and there was no heavy work. Without his help, he went back to the room to rest.

He got into bed with Lu Gu in the quilt, still warm.

The cattle and sheep pens in the backyard are far away, so it is hard to hear the movement.

Lu Gu couldn’t sleep anymore, he lay down for a while and wanted to sit up.

Aware of his movement, Shen Xuanqing opened his sleepy eyes and asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“No.” Lu Gu stretched out his hand to get his clothes. He was carrying a basket with Shen Yan to chase the doe yesterday, and Shen Xuanqing was the biggest contributor in pulling the cart, so he said, “You sleep with you, and I’ll light a tandoor. Boil water.”

After speaking, he remembered the injury on Shen Xuanqing’s shoulder, and he asked in a low voice, “Does your back still hurt?”

Shen Xuanqing was a little lazy and didn’t want to get up. Hearing this, he raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said, “It’s fine.”

“Then go to sleep.” Lu Gu quickly put on his clothes, stood up from the end of the bed, crossed Shen Xuanqing’s calf and got out of bed.

As soon as he came out of the door, the good boy looked up at him, his tail wagged, but after yawning, he fell down again, curled his body together, and buried his head.

The mud stove was under the eaves at the back of the room, and two or three pieces of fine firewood were scattered on the ground. These were not enough, so Lu Gu went to the firewood room.

“Mother.” He called to Wei Lanxiang, who was walking to the rabbit den after feeding the cows in the backyard.

“Why did you get up?” Wei Lanxiang said as she walked, her feet neatly.

“If you can’t sleep, get up and boil the water first.” Lu Gu agreed, pushing open the door of the firewood room and holding a bundle of firewood inside.

Wei Lanxiang had already entered the rabbit shack and took the broom against the wall, as well as a shovel and a dung basket to pick up and shovel rabbit dung.

The weather is cooler, there are fewer flies, and the feces still smell, but not as unbearable as it is in the heat.

There will be more manure if there are more livestock and livestock. This year, more manure is planted on the ground than in previous years. The crops will definitely grow better next year. In the eyes of the country people, manure is not just dirty and smelly things. Sometimes cattle, sheep, mules, etc. Pull, there are people fighting to shovel the dung that fell on the ground.

Soon, the eastern sky was bright, and the morning sun was rising.

Lu Gu squatted in front of the mud stove and rubbed the fire with flint. The fire splashed on the very dry grass velvet, and it didn’t take long to burn. He held the pile of grass velvet and stuffed it into the mud stove, and grabbed a piece from the broken basket next to him. Stuff the dry leaves in and the flames rise.

After putting the thin firewood rack in, he got up and picked up the clay pot to scoop up water. At this time, Da Hui got up from the sack, shook his fur, even his head was shaking, his ears were even more fluttering, and he yawned again. Go this way.

When it gets cold, their dog has to run and hunt in the mountains, but he eats well, and his fur looks a little thicker than in summer.

Lu Gu put the clay pot on the mud stove, sat down and added two sticks of firewood to make the fire more vigorous. When he saw the big ash coming, he rubbed the furry dog’s head. It felt quite good, so he squeezed it again. grey ears.

After being touched on the head, the big gray eyes narrowed slightly, obviously very comfortable.

After playing with the dog, Lu Gu was completely awake, and he slept soundly and soundly after the middle of the night last night, not so tired.

However, soon, the good boy saw him touching the ash, and with a whimper, he ran over and shoved his head into his hands, using his body to force the ash away.

Lu Gu smiled, a little helpless, the good boy has grown so big, and he is still like a puppy, he will be pampered and rubbed with people, he has a lot of heart, and his throat will make a pitiful whimper and crooked. Staring at people with his head, his eyes are full of grievances, and because Lu Gu never hit him, he pushed other dogs away several times.

With a low growl from Da Hui’s throat, Lu Gu hurriedly pushed the good boy away, so as not to be murdered or beaten, but the good boy couldn’t push him away at all, so he pushed back one step and took two steps forward, trying to bury his head in Lu Gu’s arms.

There was no other way, Lu Gu had to rub the big gray head with one hand, and push the good boy who was rubbing around in his arms with the other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After playing with the two dogs for a while, the day dawned quickly, he smiled, got up and stopped playing with them. He had to sweep and sprinkle, and some work.

Da Hei and Da Bai also woke up. He dragged the four large sacks where the dog slept to the corner and stacked them up, then took a broom and started sweeping the hall.

When Shen Xuanqing got up, the water in the pot was boiled, and Lu Gu was washing in the courtyard.

He moved his arms and felt light after stretching his body. Seeing Wei Lanxiang sweeping the yard with a big broom, he shouted, “Mother, wait for me to sweep.”

The backyard of the house here is very large, and all kinds of livestock and vegetable plots are not full. It takes a lot of work to sweep up the open spaces.

Wei Lanxiang stopped what she was doing and said, “No, the ground is not dirty, I just swept the grass clippings and dead leaves into a pile, not all of them, you are busy.”

That being the case, Shen Xuanqing didn’t argue much, and went to wash up with water.

The three of them were busy in the new house, and Shen Yan, who had prepared breakfast, saw that they were not going back, and ran to look for them.

The female deer was **** in the backyard of her hometown. After eating breakfast, Shen Xuanqing untied the rope and led the female deer out to say she was going to town. She sold it early to get money.

“Those rabbits can also be sold.” Shen Yaoqing said.

The whole family knew that he was talking about the first nineteen rabbits, and now that half a year has passed, they have all grown into big rabbits, and they are all quite fat.

“I have to lead the deer and push the cart again, so don’t worry about the rabbit.” Shen Xuanqing replied, Shen Yaoqing is going to be busy in the field today, and he can’t get his hands to go to the town with him, otherwise he can pull the rabbit and sell it together.

Shen Yaoqing nodded: “That’s right, it’s not too late to go back and sell it if you have time.”

Although there were Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang, the scooter was always pulled by men, and women and husband mostly sat on it, so his brothers never thought of letting others in the family do it.

Every time Shen Xuanqing went to town to sell prey, he would bring Lu Gu with him, and he went to buy things to fight tooth festivals, and today is no exception.

Walking through the village with such a doe, many people saw it. Shen Yuping was at the door when passing by the third room of the Shen family, with big bright eyes full of amazement and admiration for his cousin.

Although he has sold a lot of prey in the past two years, and everyone in the village has seen it, it was not until he left Qingxi Village that there were no more questions and snorts from all kinds of people.

Having had the experience of selling dwarf deer last time, when he arrived in town this time, Shen Xuanqing went straight to the pier and asked the steward of Fulai Restaurant.

The big restaurant is different. Other taverns and restaurants can’t afford a female deer, but they can eat it.

The words in charge of the accounting room are quite polite, but compared to last year, he is a bit more airy, and it is natural to look at the face when talking to people. Shen Xuanqing didn’t take this trivial matter to heart, as long as he can earn money, he looks at the accounting room. The fabric of the clothes on his body is very good. Thinking about it, he has been in a good situation in the restaurant this year, and it makes sense to have more shelves.

Venison is delicious and nourishing, especially the female deer, which is much more tender than the male venison. After some negotiation, it was sold to the restaurant for forty-five taels.

The price is very high, but ordinary people can’t afford this thing, and the restaurant is bound to sell it to the rich and famous, and it must be profitable.

But that’s none of their business.

Lu Gu still remembered that the dwarf deer sold for twenty-eight taels last year, and Shen Xuanqing had a full forty-five taels on him. He was pleasantly surprised, and even felt a little accustomed to Shen Xuanqing earning dozens of taels. Silver, more powerful than anyone he has ever seen.

“What do you want to eat? Go around town for a while today, and you can buy anything you want.” Shen Xuanqing smiled. If it weren’t for people coming and going on the street, he would be so happy that he wanted to rub Lu Gu’s hair. Earning a lot of money made him feel a lot more at ease, so that he would not be sitting idle.

Before going out, Lu Gu wanted to bring the handkerchief he embroidered, but Shen Xuanqing brought the deer out. If he took too much time to clean up, he would not be annoying. At this moment, they both had empty hands and brought nothing with them. , much easier than usual.

The Fulai Restaurant is close to the wharf. Before Lu Gu could think of what to eat, Shen Xuanqing suggested with a smile, “I haven’t eaten mixed braised soup for a long time. Why don’t I have a bowl and buy another roast chicken for my family when I go back.”

Lu Gu remembered the taste of the mixed braised soup. The soup was warm and the minced pork was spicy. After eating a bite of the crispy white pancake, no matter how cold it was after eating, he would not be afraid of freezing. Hearing the words, he nodded and agreed.

It was still half-morning, but the sellers of miscellaneous stewed soup had already opened their doors. There was no one who wanted to make money in business. Most of them got up early. The two sat down at the low table. The sesame cake is so tempting, so I asked for two sesame cakes so that Lu Gu could also taste what it was like.
