The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 170
Shen Xuanqing pretended not to be hurt by being beaten at all, which made people more and more angry, Lu Gu’s brows were tangled together, but he would not retort to be angry, and he would not beat people. Shen Xuanqing’s arms turned back, his face turned back, and his body followed, determined to ignore Shen Xuanqing before he got home, it was better to look at the piglets with their feet bound than to look at Shen Xuanqing.
Shen Xuanqing in front had laughed enough, but when he looked back and saw that Lu Gu only left the back of his head for him, he was obviously angry, and quickly begged for mercy: “I was wrong, I was wrong, if you want to hit, hit him, it will hurt your body, if you turn around and let him Mother knows how to scold me.”
Having said that, but his voice was laughing, Lu Gu moved his **** back while sitting on the edge of the board, still ignoring him.
The smile in Shen Xuanqing’s eyes did not diminish, and a fake cough concealed the unstoppable laughter, and said, “So, I’m a pig, it’s my head office who hums.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mule cart turned upside down, and the piglet lying on the back of the cart immediately hummed. Lu Gu couldn’t help laughing, his brows stretched and he turned his head to look forward.
Shen Xuanqing didn’t expect such a coincidence, but he was also happy when he saw the husband’s brows and eyes curled up with a smile, and he didn’t look angry at all.
The guard Lanxiang was sweeping the yard at the back when he heard the movement, and when he saw that he had pulled the piggy back, he was overjoyed and shouted to Shen Yaoqing to come and help carry the piglet to the pigpen at the back.
There were just four of them, and Lu Gu also got his hands on it. The piglet was **** twice and couldn’t move and jump, but he was twisting in his hands. He was used to the work, and he wouldn’t even have a piglet that weighed about 20 pounds. Can’t move.
“Wang!”
When they saw the piglet they brought back, they didn’t know whether they were excited or excited. They barked at the piglet, but their tails shook. After Lu Gu picked up the piglet, the good boy even raised his head to smell the piglet. butt.
In the cattle pen in the backyard, the calf has grown a little bit bigger than last year, but it is still gentle and it will moo twice when it sees people. In the past two days, when Lu Gu has nothing to do, he will let it go out for a walk, and there will be green grass on the ground. The stubble is green, and the calf is eating outside for half an hour with its tail flicked.
The pigsty was built long ago. Lu Gu put the piglets in. Shen Xuanqing was the last to come in. He kicked the wooden gate door closed with his feet and kept the dogs out. cloth rope, otherwise the good boy may still want to chase the piggy.
As soon as the piglets were released, they hummed and ran to the corner. The four were crowded together. Wei Lanxiang was delighted when she saw it, and tried to call them over with a “la la la” in her mouth.
“You can call me in two days when you’re ready.” Shen Yaoqing smiled beside him.
Raising pigs is a big deal. Most people in the village raise one or two pigs. They bought four pigs at a time. Eating and playing pig grass, no one can stop you from walking in a hurry.
The piglets have just been caught, and they must not be used to changing the place. It will be fine after a long time. The three of Lu Gu walked out, and Shen Xuanqing closed the wooden gate to prevent them from running out. A piglet costs two coins and is expensive. It is, but it can be slaughtered by the end of the year. If it is raised fat, it can be sold for three taels of silver.
The four piglets have a total of eight bucks, and the two brothers will each contribute four bucks, and it is agreed that they will each share half of the money for selling pork in the future.
The three stood outside the pigsty, and Shen Xuanqing pointed to one of them and said to Shen Yaoqing, “The one with two black flowers on the buttocks has no crown. When it grows, it will be a breeding pig and a pig baby.”
This was what they had negotiated before, Shen Yaoqing nodded and wrote it down, that one should be served and fed well, and the pigs that will be born in the future will be strong.
Lu Gu heard the mooing of the calf on the side. He didn’t know if he was thirsty or hungry, so he walked over to look. There was still hay in the stone trough, but there was not much water. He brought it up and poured half a bucket for the calf. It’s hot today, and the noon sun is even more drying, so the water for domestic livestock and livestock does not need to be mixed with heat.
When the calf was drinking, Lu Gu raised his hand and touched its head. The two horns on its head were also longer than before. Just like people, cows have different temperaments. Their calf is very close and won’t get angry at all when its head is touched. When it is younger, it will learn to rub people with its head.
The two puppies who came with Lugu also recognized the calf. They often played with the good boy in the house, and they were already familiar with every place, but the good boy was still on the pigpen, crooked through the wooden gate. Look at the piglet inside.
Seeing that the calf had drunk enough, and the water in the water tank went down a bit, as people often say that cattle drink, Lu Gu thought that there was nothing to do, and said to Shen Xuanqing over there, “I’ll go herd the cattle.”
Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing picked up the bamboo basket on the ground from the cow pen, walked over and said, “Let’s go together, I’ll dig some pig grass and come back, Shen Yan is still putting ducks outside.”
There are many kinds of livestock in the house. Recently, hay is still the main source. However, after the weeds appear outside, they will dig some and come back every day. After cutting it, it would not be too late to hire He Zhi and his wife to cut grass.
Wei Lanxiang has already scooped up the bran and bran to cook the pig food in front of him. Shen Yao has not finished cleaning the sheep pen. He has nothing else to do. He just goes out with Lu Gu and can take care of it.
As soon as the wooden gate was opened, the calf came out without anyone urging the calf to come out on its own. He walked to the back door, and trotted two steps to frighten the pups. The two pups wagged their tails and barked. The calves play.
The good boy was very interested in the pig, but seeing that they were all walking towards the back door, he hurriedly caught up, and Sa Yazi ran and rushed out of the back door first.
As long as the calf doesn’t go to the farmland, most of the time it doesn’t need to be bothered. They just bow their heads to graze, and sometimes play with the good boy. When they are thirsty, they go to the river to drink water. Some people let the ducks out to swim, and their family only drove them out today, for fear that the river water would be too cold, even if the ducks were not afraid of water, they were afraid of severe cold.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them came out, Shen Yan shouted loudly for Second Brother and Brother Gu Zi when he saw them from a distance. The good boy ran like a gust of wind, and he was brave and strong and ran towards her.
Lu Gu came first and had nothing to do. Seeing that the calf was grazing by himself, Shen Xuanqing picked up a place with a lot of grass and squatted down to dig the grass. He walked towards Shen Yan and asked, “Why are you running so far today?”
Shen Yan used a bamboo pole to drive the ducks upstream. The river was gentle enough that they could not swim up. Hearing the words, she said, “Who knows, they are eating and swimming, so I will follow, I never thought I would go so far. A slice.”
Da Bai stepped forward to join in the fun when she was chasing ducks. Because he was alone, it was boring and tight, and what Shen Xuanqing had told her before, she would bring the dog alone. Outside, she called Da Bai when she went out the back door.
She also carried a bamboo basket in her hand. She had dug half a basket of wild vegetables. Lu Gu took it and saw a piece of ground on the ground. The two of them squatted down to dig together.
“Sister-in-law said, get a basket back, she will steam the wild vegetable buns for us to eat. I haven’t eaten it for a few days.” Shen Yan pulled out the wild vegetables in her hand, and gently tossed the clods from the roots back.
When she said that Lu Gu was also a little greedy, she continued: “Okay, then dig more and go back.”
As he spoke, he remembered the piglets he had just pulled back, raised his head and said with a smile: “When you go back, look at the pigsty and bring those four piglets back.”
“Really!” Shen Yan was very happy, her almond eyes lit up. Shen Xuanqing told her before that she wanted to raise four little pigs, and they didn’t have to go out to buy pork when they grew up. , how could she not be happy.
“Really, your second brother is digging for hogweed over there.” Lu Gu put the wild vegetables in his hand into the basket with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Huang and Lu Gu came here, and Huang Er was playing with the good boy over there. Its fat little claws were pulling the bamboo basket and trying to bite the wild vegetables. Shen Yan was delighted to hear that, but he has to see it now. Duck, it is also a little far from the house, so he had to put his excitement on the fluffy little yellow, rubbing his head and rubbing his round body, and he laughed giggling for a while.
The dogs in the family are all good-natured, and they are very happy with their relatives. When Shen Yan was rubbing the dog’s little tail, the little dog kept wagging, and he fell on the ground and turned his belly. When his belly was bulging, it was very suitable for getting started. Even Lu Gu couldn’t bear it. Live for a while.
The wild grass on the ground is getting higher and higher every day, and there are more and more wild vegetables that can be eaten. It is a beautiful scenery in spring again, and it is time for Shen Xuanqing to enter the mountain again.
The family can earn money by selling rabbits. That lamb is not too young to raise, but he has hunting skills, so he has no reason not to go. Now that Lu Gu is pregnant, they will have children to raise in the future. To make more money.
The four hundred taels of silver they saved last year remained untouched. Lu Gu had forty taels of silver in his hand, of which thirty-five taels were given to him by Shen Xuanqing in the past two years. For local flowers, what he usually buys is just some needles and threads, and it is enough to use broken silver and copper plates, but now he has only a few hundred yuan of copper plates in his hand, and more than ten dollars of broken silver.
Shen Xuanqing had some loose silver taels in his hand, which he spent a little on buying New Year’s goods during the Chinese New Year, and after the money from selling rabbits was divided with Shen Yaoqing, they put it together, as long as it wasn’t too expensive, it was enough for daily expenses.
Because Shen Xuanqing only stayed on the mountain for five or six days, but no one could say for sure about hunting, Lu Gu prepared him dry food for eight days, all of which were put in a dry food bag, and a small bag the size of a palm. Peanuts, he can squeeze a few as a pastime when he takes a break.
Salted duck eggs are better than raw eggs. He packed four of them. Shen Xuanqing was tired from hunting in the mountains.
“It’s not good to eat dry food every day. I’ll treat your stomach badly. I’ll pack a piece of bacon for you. You remember to dig some wild vegetables and fry them. Shepherd’s purse and bracken will do.” Lu Gu said, and cleaned the small piece of bacon. It was wrapped in cloth and put into Shen Xuanqing’s bamboo basket.
“Cut into slices and fry until cooked.” He urged again.
Shen Xuanqing, who was sharpening his knife in the front yard, raised his head when he heard the words, Jun had a bright smile on his face, and agreed, “Okay, I’ll write it down.”
He didn’t go up the mountain until tomorrow morning. Lu Gu looked at the contents of the bamboo basket. There was something to eat. There was still some old rice on the mountain, but if Shen Xuanqing was busy hunting, he probably wouldn’t have time to cook rice soup, so he raised his head again: “I’ll go. Buy a jar of rice wine, boil some rice wine and drink it without rice soup, it will moisturise your stomach.”
Rice wine cooks very quickly. After the water in the clay pot is boiled, pour some rice wine into it, and it will be ready to serve after boiling again.
As he said that, he got up and went out. There were people making rice wine in the village. Shen Xuanqing was not worried. He just sharpened his knife and told him to walk slowly. Don’t worry. If you don’t shoot and don’t wear it, it becomes a big problem.
Wei Lanxiang fed the mules, cattle and sheep over from behind, turned over the things Lu Gu had prepared, and asked Shen Xuanqing if he had enough to eat. After a while, when Lu Gu came back with a jar of rice wine, he clapped his hands and praised him for being careful. , My own wife never thought of it.
Lu Gu repeatedly decided what to bring, and he finally stopped fussing without leaving behind. He and Shen Xuanqing still slept in the big mansion at night. Dongxian hadn’t been separated at home for several months, and it seemed a little tight the night before. promote.
It was already the first ten days of March, and Lu Gu couldn’t tell when he was wearing clothes during the day. At night, when the two of them slept together, Shen Xuanqing could feel his fair and bulging belly when he raised his hand. Because there was a baby in it, he didn’t dare to exert force at all, and he was careful every day. Before Lu Gu was shy and wouldn’t let him touch it, he was sulking for two days.
“Remember to go home and live tomorrow.” He hugged Lu Gu and whispered, until the night became darker, and the two gradually stopped talking and fell asleep.
