The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 159
After a few days of sunshine, the muddy ground gradually became dry, and there was no need to step on the mud again.
The sun came in from the south window, and the house was bright.
In the front yard, it was really warm under the sun, and the six dogs in the family lay lazily on the ground to bask in the sun.
Lu Gu sat in the corner and basked in the sun to do needlework. Occasionally the wind was blowing and it wasn’t so cold, so he was warm all over. Several quilts were placed on the wooden frame, and most of them were covered in the sun in the sun and warmer at night.
Shen Xuanqing went drinking with a few men in the village. He was alone in the new house to watch the house, but maybe Shen Yan or Wei Lanxiang would come over for a while. Dongxian is like this, there is not much to do, let’s go It’s good to have a pastime for a walk.
A sparrow with changed feathers landed on the wall. He heard the sound of wings flapping, and Lu Gu looked up. The two sparrows had fluffy and thick feathers, and their bodies were round. I don’t know where they got fat.
The weather was sunny and sunny, and sparrows fell and flew away from time to time on the walls on both sides. The dog sleeping on the ground would not only look up at first, but then gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The dogs need to watch the house at night, and it’s better to sleep more during the day, but Lu Gu didn’t disturb them. After a while, Xiao Huang got up from the ground, stood there with his mouth wide open and yawned, it let out a “wow” and came to Lu Gu’s leg. Maybe he wasn’t getting enough sleep, so he put on his Lu Gu shoes and lay down. He also put his little head on the upper of the shoe, and shook his little tail behind him, and soon he was drowsy from the sun again.
Good boy would be like this when he was a child. He wanted to stick to people when he was sleeping. Lu Gu didn’t care too much. He never thought that good boy, who was sleeping under the eaves, saw him and walked to the corner. With his big head on his feet, he fell asleep on his side.
He thought it was funny. The two puppies had been brought back for several days. Every time the puppies rubbed people, the good boy would always squeeze to the front. , it owns its own exclusive touch, and its mind is too small.
He and Shen Xuanqing both watched closely during the meal, and didn’t let the good boy grab the dog’s food. Fortunately, the good boy was still obedient, and he didn’t bully the dog elsewhere except for being clingy.
The dog’s head was pressed on both feet. Xiao Huang, who was fluffy and small, was very cute. When he fell asleep, his belly moved, and sometimes he barked twice, as if he was dreaming. The big dog’s head seemed a little heavy.
He tried to pull out his feet, but as soon as he moved, the good boy immediately looked up at him, one man and one dog looked at each other for a while, and finally Lu Gu gave in.
He patted the boy’s head and whispered, “Let me put you on the pillow, why are you so careful, Xiao Huang is still young, what are you arguing with?”
The good boy flicked his tail, sweeping a light dust on the ground, and the dancing dust was particularly conspicuous under the sun.
Knowing that it didn’t understand, Lu Gu retracted his hand and continued sewing. Before a veil was finished, he heard Shen Yan calling him outside.
“Brother Guzi.” Shen Yan shouted and entered the door, her clear almond eyes crooked with a smile, and said, “Mother said, today is the fifteenth day, there is a big gathering on the Liangzhang Bridge, please let Brother Daqing come over later. Set up a mule cart, let’s go to the market.”
go to market.
Hearing this, Lu Gu’s eyes lit up. He is usually busy with work, so he doesn’t have time to go to the big market. Even if he goes to town, it is to sell things, and he rarely has time to wander around. It’s been a few days since the mules were bought, and they haven’t used them themselves except to send livestock to the two towns.
He put down the embroidered stretcher, pushed the puppies and the big dogs away from his feet, got up and said, “Then I’ll go to Dachen’s house to find Erqing and see if he goes.”
“Okay.” Shen Yan nodded in agreement, bent down and rubbed the fluffy little yellow a few times.
After getting up, the good boy shook his body and saw Lu Gu walking out the door, wagging his tail and following him.
Da Chen’s house was not far away, Lu Gu walked into the village from the path in the slanted thorn, and when he looked up, he saw Da Chen’s daughter-in-law sitting at the door of the house with a woman taking the soles of her shoes.
“Xin Rui, Er Qing is here?” Lu Gu asked as he walked.
Zhou Xinrui smiled and said, “I’m here, they’re drinking at home, are you here to find Erqing?”
“Well, my mother said she wanted to go to Liangzhang Bridge, so I’ll ask him if he can go.” Lu Gu replied.
“Wait, I’ll call for you.” Zhou Xinrui didn’t wait for him to get to the door, and called into the house, “Da Chen, Guzi is here, come to Erqing.”
Her voice was not small, and the men who were drinking in it naturally heard it.
Lu Gu and Da Hui both walked to the front of her house, because all the men were sitting in the main room, Shen Xuanqing stood up and went out, but he didn’t go in, but stood at the door and said a few words to Da Chen’s daughter-in-law.
It’s been an hour since Shen Xuanqing came out for a drink. He thought that he would have to feed the livestock when he was at home. It was time to go, and he never thought that Lu Gu would come.
The two of them walked towards the new house, but Lu Gu couldn’t hold back, his tone was a little excited, and he said, “Mother said that she wants to go to Liangzhangqiao to go to the market, so let the mule cart be covered.”
Shen Xuanqing drank wine, they were sitting in the yard after drinking, and then it was really hot, so they moved to the main room, and his cheeks were a little red, he rubbed his face and smiled: “It’s time to go shopping in the market. “
Before they turned into the trail, they heard Wei Lanxiang shouting from behind, and the two looked back, and Shen Yaoqing came over.
While it was still early, the two brothers Shen Xuanqing set up the mule cart. Because Ji Qiuyue was going to look after the children at home, Shen Yaoqing was not at ease, so in the end only Lu Gu and the others went.
Shen Xuanqing, who was sitting in front, snorted, and before the whip in his hand fell, the mule trotted up and made a rattling sound as its four hooves stepped on the ground.
Lu Gu, Shen Yan, and Wei Lanxiang were sitting behind him, all three of them had smiles on their faces. The wind was blowing, but it wasn’t cold at all.
Although it was a scooter, there was no canopy or a sedan, and the wind was blowing from top to bottom, but the sun shone on their raised smiling faces, and those eyes were bright and happy.
—
It was another sunny day. After the mule cart entered Fenggu Town, it stopped running. Shen Xuanqing sat all the way, jumped down and led the mule to Zhiyun Embroidery Workshop.
Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang were still sitting on the scooter, both carrying baskets in their hands, one with a handkerchief and the other with ten eggs and ten duck eggs on a thick straw.
Eggs are precious, and Wei Lanxiang kept it tight all the way, for fear that it would be damaged by collision, so she opened the cloth and saw that everything was fine.
“It’s mother.” Shen Xuanqing stopped at the door of the embroidery workshop and helped Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang down. He didn’t go in, but said, “When the eggs are sold out, remember to go to Butcher Zhao’s side. I’ll go look for you when I’m done.”
“Understood, you can go.” Wei Lanxiang agreed, carrying the egg basket and Lu Gu into the embroidery workshop.
This time, there was also a bamboo cage for rabbits on the trolley, which was sent to the brothel. Shen Xuanqing didn’t stop and left with the mule.
Lu Gu had been to the embroidery workshop twice, and he knew the guys inside and the boss behind the counter. Needless to say, he put the bamboo basket on the counter and took out the handkerchief to show the boss first.
“Well, it’s okay.” The boss is a squat middle-aged man. As the owner of the embroidery workshop, he naturally understands embroidery, and he can even embroider some flowers himself.
“Uncle Sun, do you want a network, I’ll call some.” Lu Gu said, and took out some from the basket. He sold a few when he came back, and this time he brought it back.
Sun Yaofu took it and looked at it carefully, then nodded and replied, “Yes, all of these are required.”
Whether it’s a handkerchief or a tie, one can see the skill and intentions. Lu Gu’s tie is a common style, but it is better to play with meticulous attention, and how can it be sold.
Ten handkerchiefs were sold for 40 cents, and ten nets were sold for fifty cents. A color net of this size was still five cents a piece, and the price was not undercut. He used to sell it on the street, and he was afraid that everything would be sold out. It’s very cheap. After the way of Zhiyun Embroidery Workshop, I can earn a few more cents than before.
Putting ninety pennies into his arms and saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang turned around and left.
His brows and eyes were full of smiles, and even Wei Lanxiang next to him sighed: “It is said that people need to learn a craft, and it is easier to make money than others. Mother doesn’t have a craft to make a living, so you will be lucky in the future.”
Lu Guzui didn’t know what to say. Since he had money in his arms, he saw a cake seller in front of him, so he said, “Mother, I’ll buy you a butter cake to eat.”
Wei Lanxiang suddenly smiled and boasted: “It’s really intentional, and that mother is also blessed with your blessings.”
Lu Gu was very happy when he was praised. After being with Ji Qiuyue for a long time, he had learned a few sweet words and said, “We are blessed together.”
This remark made Wei Lanxiang close her mouth: “Okay, let’s have it together.”
The two of them happily walked to the stall. Lu Gu was not hungry because he had eaten before going out, but he still spent three cents to buy a butter cake for Wei Lanxiang. The cake was not big. can finish eating.
The two of them walked forward, Wei Lanxiang ate the pancakes, and Lu Gu shouted along the street, “Eggs, eggs, teal eggs.”
The sun was good, and there were many people on the street. The two happily walked all the way to sell, and turned into another long street at the front corner.
Lu Gu turned his back to the back and did not see anyone walking into Zhiyun Embroidery Workshop.
Sun Yaofu was tidying up the handkerchiefs and nets, and folded the embroidery on top, either placing it or hanging it. While he was busy with his head down, he suddenly heard Brother Sun, but it was Xu Yanrong, who had grown up with him since he was a child. Stack up laughing.
“Brother Xu Xian is free today.” He took a jar of wine from Xu Yanrong and invited him to sit in the back room.
Xu Yanrong said with a smile as he walked: “It’s not that the house has been cleaned up and stopped. Yuehua said that he wanted to buy a few handkerchiefs. I thought about coming over to talk to you, but I haven’t seen each other for many years. a cup.”
More than ten years ago, the Xu family went to Fucheng to open a small shop to do business, and Xu Yanrong went with the family. Since then, he has rarely returned to Fenggu Town.
When Sun Yaofu heard it, he said in a loud voice, “What’s so difficult about this, since it’s my younger brother and sister who wants it, you can pick it up later and take it as you see it.”
“So, I’ll thank you in advance.” Xu Yanrong was not overly polite.
After the two of them drank a jar of wine, they recalled the past and talked about yesterday. After a long time, it was getting late. Before leaving, Xu Yanrong didn’t forget to get two handkerchiefs for his wife.
Coincidentally, there were new handkerchiefs delivered today, so Sun Yaofu took out many for him to choose.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yanrong, who was originally smiling, was stunned when he saw a handkerchief with a butterfly playing peony.

In the spring of next year, we will raise piglets. Taking advantage of the recent good weather, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing are in the backyard and build a pigsty in the mud. The yellow mud, rice and oranges are mixed up. In the past two days, anyone in the family will step on the mud and walk in the backyard. In a circle, there are mud footprints on the ground.
After a break for a while, his two brothers came back to work again. Because of the sun, it was easy to sweat when working in thick clothes, and people were also easy to get thirsty. Lu Gu added two scoops to the clay pot on the tandoor. water, and put a clean wooden basin on the table next to it, boil it, scoop it out, and drink it when it is warm.
After adding firewood to the mud stove, he didn’t really want to do embroidery at the moment. He glanced at Shen Xuanqing, who was busy in the distance, and walked back to see if he could do me a favor.
It was warm today, Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan were washing the thick clothes of seven people at home, but they didn’t come.
The good boy was having fun in the spacious backyard. He wanted to burrow into the yellow mud pile before, but his front paws stepped on it. Shen Xuanqing slapped him twice on his fat **** before kicking him away. Yellow mud, it is not easy to wash it.
Seeing it rushing over, the yellow mud on its paws dried up and turned into dirt. Lu Gu wanted to avoid it, but how could he run better than the good boy? It was inevitable that there would be a few dirt paw prints on his legs by the good boy’s front paws. .
Just as he was about to poke the boy on the head to reprimand him, he never thought that the boy would bark outside the courtyard gate with a rib in his ear, and the other dogs in the family did the same, they were born again.
