The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 167

With such a happy event as being pregnant, it is natural to inform Shen Xuanqing’s father and Lu Gu Niang that Shen Xuanqing carried the incense candle offerings in the basket and Lu Gu to the grave, and by the way cleaned up some dead branches and leaves on the grave.

When he came to Ye Yuzhen’s tomb, he saw the traces of burning in front of the tomb and the three taels of offering fruits scattered on the ground. It took a while to see, and Lu Gu was a little stunned. He couldn’t think of who came to sacrifice. , would not be relatives on his mother’s side, and Lu Daxiang and Du Hehua were even more unlikely.

Shen Xuanqing put down the bamboo basket in his hand, pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “It should be Xu.”

He had said a few words to Lu Gu about Xu Yanrong before, and he did not hide it.

When Lu Gu used to see Lu Daxiang’s partiality towards Lu Wen when he was in Lu’s house, he always felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn’t understand why his father would be nice to Lu Wen, and every time Du Hehua scolded him, Lu Daxiang never got angry. Instead, he became more and more impatient. After knowing Xu Yanrong, no matter how stupid he was, he would know why.

Therefore, he didn’t like Xu at all, and his originally happy expression suddenly faded. He lowered his head and lost a bit of a smile on his face. He kicked the lump in front of him with his toes and rolled away.

Shen Xuanqing picked up a few shriveled offering fruits and threw them away. He raised his feet and wanted to pluck up the yellow weeds on the tomb, and saw that he was not very happy.

“I’ve made it clear to him, don’t come looking for entanglement again, don’t worry, we don’t know him even if we meet him.” He comforted Lu Gu, and said with a smile: “I’m happy today, I’m here to announce the good news to my mother, and you too I’m happy, we can take the cub to see her again in the future.”

When it comes to the child, Lu Gu regained his energy. Yes, they passed by them, what does it have to do with the surnamed Xu, even if they meet in the future, they will have nothing to do with each other, so why bother to be frustrated in front of his mother.

There is nothing taboo about the grave of his own mother. The two of them pulled up the hay and grass roots on the grave bag together. After cleaning, they burned paper and kowtowed to their mother.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, and they have to come to worship once during the New Year’s Festival. This time they didn’t stay too much. After all, Lu Gu has a body and won’t kneel for a long time.

After returning home, Shen Yaoqing had already set up the mule cart. She thought of going to Liangzhangqiao to buy New Year’s goods. Shen Yan was so happy. She was a girl who had not left the cabinet. Unlike Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue, she could often go to the town. Running, naturally very concerned about going to the market.

After seeing Lu Gu come back, she smiled and asked Lu Gu what she wanted to eat. She bought it back. Now she is the aunt of two dolls, and she still hopes that Lu Gu will give birth to a daughter or two children, so that she can You can make pigtails for dolls and wear flowers to play with.

Going to Liangzhang Bridge, there is a mule cart that doesn’t take much effort at all, but Wei Lanxiang is really worried. Usually, it’s enough to go around a few nearby villages. The mule cart sometimes runs fast. , did not let Lu Gu go, even Shen Xuanqing did not let go, and asked to accompany him at home.

Although it was her second grandson, she felt that the family was deserted when Shen Shunfu was away. The more grandchildren the better, it also seemed that their family was not Ding Xingwang. Besides, this was Shen Xuanqing’s first child, and Ji Qiuyue was pregnant. Later, she valued it very much, and naturally she couldn’t favor one over the other when she came to Lu Gu.

Zhao’er was only four months old, and she couldn’t leave without people, and Ji Qiuyue couldn’t go either. She wanted to stay behind to coax the baby to breastfeed, so only Shen Yaoqing, Shen Yan and Wei Lanxiang went to buy goods.

After explaining what to buy, such as fried oil cakes, ghee cakes, salted plums, candied plums, and hawthorn cakes, Shen Xuanqing explained a lot, and Wei Lanxiang agreed one by one. Why is it difficult to buy these? , that Liangzhangqiao big rally has everything.

Shen Yan and Wei Lanxiang got on the scooter, and Shen Yaoqing, who was sitting in front, waved the whip and shouted, and the mule walked forward until it reached the flat and spacious official road, before spreading its hooves and running.

Because Ji Qiuyue was taking care of the children at home alone, Wei Lanxiang and the others had already fed livestock, Shen Xuanqing locked the courtyard gate, and went to his hometown with Lu Gu, there was nothing else to do, the crystal soup to eat for the New Year was just The pig skin jelly is boiled while I have time today, and I freeze it overnight in the courtyard. I can cut a plate and taste it tomorrow, and I can eat it a few times throughout the year.

Lu Gu was just pregnant, and his stomach was not yet pregnant, so walking and working would not be a problem, but Shen Xuanqing saw that he and Ji Qiuyue were busy in the kitchen. .

“Daddy hasn’t come out yet, so he’ll be stupid first.” Ji Qiuyue was cutting the pig’s skin when she suddenly felt a tall shadow blocking the light, she turned around and laughed at him when she saw it.

Shen Xuanqing became more and more embarrassed.

How could Lu Gu not see his concerns, but how could the countryman be so delicate, he said with a smile: “It’s just cooking, not heavy work, if you’re not busy, peel and wash the woks, there is hot water in the pot. “

Only the three of them ate at noon today. There was still a piece of tofu that I bought yesterday. It was stewed with Chinese cabbage and tofu. It was just right. Duck and chicken have been unlucky for him recently, but the pork is alright. There is still a bowl of pork that was steamed first. It’s leaner and less fat. You can eat it when it’s hot.

“Okay, what else do I need to wash? I’ll go wash it together.” Shen Xuanqing nodded in agreement.

Lu Gu said with a smile: “No, there are few people at noon, and one dish is enough.”

Shen Xuanqing walked out, and whistled to call out the two pups whose bodies were more rounded and fluffy, to save them from messing around at Lu Gu’s feet. The big dogs stayed there to watch the house, but they were the only ones who ran out when the courtyard door was locked.

Just now, he and Lu Gu met Shen Shunwang on the way over, and the third uncle even laughed and said that the two sons were really strong, if they didn’t have legs, they would be a ball.

They follow the big dog to eat badger meat and learn to chew bone sticks, can they not gain weight, but just like the fat doll, the fat puppy is also very attractive. No, they are enough.

In the afternoon, the mule cart drove all the way back to her hometown. There were a lot of things on the cart. When she passed the village, Wei Lanxiang was full of joy. Because the mule was walking slowly, she carried three packets of cooking sugar and stepped off the cart. Let Shen Yan and Shen Yaoqing who were sitting on the scooter go home first, and she was talking outside.

“Aunt Lanxiang, your family bought these.” A Jinnai came out of the courtyard and smacked her tongue when she saw the things on the trolley that walked away.

In the past few days, every family in the village has been busy with the New Year’s affairs. There are no people chatting at the entrance of the village. Except for the idlers, most of them are busy at home. Whether it is washing laundry or cooking meat and vegetables, there are every day. busy. However, the mule cart is still very eye-catching in their village, and many people saw it when they passed by the door of each house.

Wei Lanxiang handed a packet of cooking sugar to Ah Jin’s milk, and said with a smile: “Hey, it’s not millet, and I don’t have a good appetite. When I smell the fishy smell, I want to vomit. I just bought two kinds of plums. There are both salted and candied, it depends on which one he likes to eat, and he will buy it later.”

A Jinnai stuck her tongue out, God, you have to buy two kinds of plums. When she was young, she only ate sour apricots picked from the mountains, how could they be so precious.

“He’s Ajin, you’re busy first, and I’ll give his third aunt to deliver candy.” Wei Lanxiang showed that she was satisfied that Lu Gu was pregnant, and left with a look of joy.

In the past few days, her three words are inseparable from her second grandson. There are still people who are not pleasing to the eye in the village, but she doesn’t care about it. Chewing Ji Qiuyue’s tongue behind her back, saying that their family couldn’t have grandchildren to get it back, she was only happy when those few people didn’t go well.

Days go by quickly, preparing this to buy that, slaughtering chickens and ducks, making croquettes, steaming buns and making cakes, another New Year’s Day comes with the joy of the family.

On New Year’s Eve, the cannonball rang out, and Lu Gu’s eyes flashed bright for a moment. The dog in the village laughed. The corners of his eyes and brows were full of shallow and beautiful smiles. When next year, there will be another doll for the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first month passed, no relatives moved around anymore, and the family seemed to be quite peaceful. Today is different from the past. Lu Gu has a body and is not able to walk on the mountain road. He also does not want to live on the mountain for a long time. still high.

Before the spring ploughing time, not even a few weeds have grown, and there is not much work in the field, but their family has so many livestock to raise, and they are more busy than others.

After feeding the livestock and seeing the sun was very good, Shen Yaoqing took Shen Yan up the hillside to dig grass roots. In winter, there was only hay. From time to time, I dug some grass roots and came back to give rabbits a taste. The grass roots buried deep in the soil were still a little wet. It’s better than hay. There was really nothing fresh before. I even dug up winter bamboo shoots for the big rabbit to eat, and mixed it with hay.

Lu Gu was sitting in the corner of the wall to get warm, the sun was hot, he also smiled and watched Shen Xuanqing wash clothes, the tall man was sitting on the small bench, pinching his sleeves and rubbing it awkwardly.

The back door is closed, and the dogs don’t need to wander around the backyard. They all lie down in the front yard and doze off in the sun. The puppies fight for a while, and the two slept together. The soft ears are fluffy, and the good ones lie down. He fell asleep on the ground beside Lu Gu’s feet and even snorted twice, his stocky body didn’t collapse and flatten even when he lay on his side.

Most dogs understand human nature, and I don’t know how they understand it. When they met Lu Gu before, they would sometimes pounce on him, and their paws would inevitably hit Lu Gu’s stomach. Including the good boy, he never jumped on him again. This was only discovered in the past few days, and he didn’t realize it before.

Not used to doing laundry, with Lu Gu standing by to give advice, Shen Xuanqing took a while to wash before he could control his posture and essentials.

Lu Gu watched him rub a small area for a long time, and said with a smile, “It’s enough to wash it clean, you don’t have to rub it for too long, as long as it’s not dirty.”

“That’s fine.” Shen Xuanqing cleaned the wild bath beads on his sleeves in the water, and after a glance, it was indeed clean, and then he went to wash other places.

The water in the river was too cold, and it was impossible to wash clothes by mashing the clothes by the river, and the man had to be cold enough. He used a large clay pot to heat up hot water, and after finally washing the basin, he was sweating.

“Take a break, it’s still early, don’t worry.” Knowing that he had trouble washing clothes the first time, Lu Gu advised him.

Shen Xuanqing wiped the water that splashed on his face. The two of them have always lived here. Before, Lu Gu washed here, or Wei Lanxiang took it back and washed it with the clothes of the rest of the family. Today, after Lu Gu changed his clothes, the original He wanted to wash himself as before, but he never thought that Shen Xuanqing had to take over, so he had to let it go.

After resting for a while, Shen Xuanqing poured out the dirty water in the basin outside the courtyard, and after returning, scooped water from the big pot, because it was not as easy to use as a big pot, so he said, “This pot is still inconvenient, it just happens that it has not been used recently. Busy, my eldest brother and I set up a stove, and went back to the town to buy a large pot. We can boil water here without cooking. It is also cheaper to take a bath in the hot summer. “

It does make sense to say this. The mud stove is not as fast as the large pot stove, and the iron pot can burn a lot of water in one pot. Lu Gu nodded in agreement: “It is true.”

He thought for a while and then said, “It’s better to use the case board again. If the farmers are busy working here, they don’t have to go home to eat, so they can do it here.”

Shen Xuanqing scooped up the water and sat down on the small bench, thinking that now their millet will also think about things, and thinking so thoroughly, he smiled and said: “Just do as you said, why didn’t you think of it before, and you will go more for nothing. A lot of steps, I will eat and rest here in the future, so I don’t have to run too much.”

Although he didn’t exaggerate, Lu Gu was very happy when he got the answer, and smiled and rubbed the yawning boy’s head.
