The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 174

Zhao’er lying in the cradle was moving his hands and feet. He couldn’t speak, but sometimes he would make a meaningless babble, as if he was learning how to speak. Seeing him drooling, Lu Gu wiped him with a handkerchief. , I never thought that the handkerchief was caught by Zhao’er, and it was not easy to smoke it. If it made me cry for a while, I had to let him play with it.

Shen Xuanqing came over and sat down beside the bed.

After Lu Gu’s hand was held, he didn’t move, and the smile on his face became more and more beautiful. Seeing that Shen Xuanqing’s loose hair was not completely dry, he smiled and said, “I’d better sit outside and dry my hair while the sun goes down.”

“Okay.” As long as he was with the husband, Shen Xuanqing would not agree.

Lu Gu glanced at the cradle and said again: “I’ll hold Zhao’er, you can take the cradle to the courtyard and let him sleep in it and play, otherwise you have to keep holding it.”

He said it casually, and he was telling the truth. Zhao’er was actually quite good, so he didn’t have to worry about it when he fell asleep, but once he woke up, he would have to carry it on his back when he was working. He would inevitably feel powerless for a long time. When not working, you can sit down and rest, and you can put Zhaoer in the cradle to let him sleep or play.

Shen Xuanqing’s eyes paused slightly and asked, “When did you plant rice at home?”

Why do you ask this all of a sudden?

Lu Gu was puzzled, but answered truthfully: “Yesterday morning, mother and eldest brother went away, and Yanyan has also been made like a clay figurine these two days.”

It’s been two days.

Shen Xuanqing was not very happy when he saw that he occasionally showed a hint of fatigue. Although the country couple was not so expensive, in several nearby villages, every year, he could see a woman with a big belly still working. husband, but he just doesn’t feel comfortable.

Lu Gu was used to seeing it since he was a child, so he didn’t realize anything, except for the two days of spring ploughing. Before, he didn’t have to cook, wash dishes, do laundry, and mow grass. When his stomach got up, the guard Lanxiang didn’t even let him feed chickens and ducks. Maybe it’s because I haven’t done much work since I was pregnant, and I’m not used to it.

People are not sages. One of Shen Xuanqing is unhappy that he has been on the mountain for too long and missed the spring ploughing. I think it’s really exhausting.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Gu was puzzled when he saw that his expression was wrong.

Shen Xuanqing sighed slightly, and the unpleasantness just now passed. In fact, he can figure it out. There are so many livestock and livestock in the family. The work in the fields is very important. Things, Lu Gu can cook and bring the children.

He still understands the truth, and it is really difficult to blame others. When he is busy, there are always some things that he can’t take care of. Just now, he went to the field. The face of the whole family was full of sweat, and the whole body was covered in mud. Where can it reproduce again? Complaining in his heart, seeing that Lu Gu was worried, he smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I came back late and asked you to do so much work at home.”

It was like this, Lu Gu suddenly laughed, his eyes were bright, and he said, “It’s nothing, it’s just feeding the livestock twice, you can rest when you are free. Sister-in-law will come back every once in a while to watch the baby breastfeed. She carries the crock pot back and forth, so I don’t need to go to the field to deliver water.”

Feeding livestock and holding grass is fine, but carrying buckets is a labor of strength, but Shen Xuanqing saw that he was happy, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually subsided, that’s all, now that he is back, Lu Gu doesn’t have to work anymore, said So much to do, to add trouble to Lu Gu.

“Sit outside.” He got up and carried Zhao’er out to Lu Gu, and followed behind with the wooden cradle.

There was still a while before the sun went down, and the wind didn’t blow much today, but they still picked a leeward spot, after all, the child was too young.

Zhao’er was lying in the cradle playing with a handkerchief, tugging her fleshy little hands around and chewing it twice, making the handkerchief full of saliva.

There was no one else at home, so Shen Xuanqing held her husband’s hand and became happy again, saying, “After these few days of work, I will go to town and pick up some good cloth, and ask my mother to make you two new clothes and two pairs of shoes. .”

In his opinion, Lu Gu is not tired and wronged, he has nothing else to give, and it should be compensated by making two new clothes.

“I have.” Lu Gu frowned.

“Anything, it’s all from last year.” Shen Xuanqing was a little displeased, raised his hand to squeeze his face, and made an excuse to say, “I haven’t gotten fat yet, and my belly will be bigger and people will get fat later. Can I still wear last year’s clothes? It’s probably too tight to put on.”

“It’s fine if you beat yourself up. How can you pay for my son’s trouble?” He was rather annoyed by Lu Gu’s temperament that he didn’t dare to ask for anything from him.

Lu Gu laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth but his eyes, and understood his concern.

Shen Xuanqing originally wanted to show his dissatisfaction with a cold face, but it can be seen that Lu Gu smiled like this, not to mention resentment, he just couldn’t say half a sentence of reprimand, looking at the warm smiling face, there was only a slight murmur left at the end. Untraceable sighed, and then he laughed himself, and couldn’t help but leaned up and kissed his husband.

Maybe I didn’t think it before, but every time Shen Xuanqing thought that this was his own husband, the satisfaction in his heart almost overflowed. Sometimes after thinking about it for a long time, a handsome face can smile silly. Silly Le, I didn’t let others see it, otherwise I thought that such a handsome and tall man was a brainless man.

Lu Gu’s cheeks were soft and white, and there was a faint sweetness of peach blossoms, just a kiss would not be enough.

The two of them kissed and hugged in the corner of the empty front yard, and they would laugh out loud. Zhao’er in the cradle heard the adults laughing and giggled too, which made Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing laugh even more.

Many strong laborers are different. Shen Xuanqing went to the ground and hired Lin Jinhu and Lin Jinlong brothers. After more than Ji Qiuyue, he took the children to cook and work at home. Together they made Lu Gu feel more relaxed, and also Someone can talk.

After a few days of spring farming, the family has time to rest. And the male deer and ram that Shen Xuanqing hunted should also be sold.

The big horns of the male deer are really beautiful, like a small tree. He pulled it back from the mountain that day. He wanted to tie it to his hometown, but he never thought that the courtyard door would be locked. As long as he led the deer and sheep through the village, many people I have seen them all. Shen Shunde and Zhou Yunzhi passed by their paddy fields when they went to the ground, and shouted that their family was going to sell for a lot of money.

Shen Xuanqing fooled the past with a haha, and didn’t pay much attention to the old couple. He is not a thief when he hunts. Every time he goes down to the mountain village, people can see it, and it is inevitable to attract a few red-eyed people, but he is tight-lipped and rarely discloses it to others. Show how much money you can make.

There are three big and one small sheep in the family. The big one has one ram and two ewes. The ewe that was caught was originally intended to be slaughtered and eaten last winter. Who knew that Lu Gu was pregnant, and when he heard the teal meat, he felt unpleasant. The smell of mutton was even more unpleasant, so he had to let it go, but that being the case, Shen Xuanqing thought about keeping both ewes, so that they could breed lambs in late summer and early autumn if they were bred in spring.

This time, it was a ram that was caught, and it was not very interesting to keep it, so Shen Yaoqing took it, and the two brothers went to the town to sell it together.

The day is getting warmer, Lu Gu doesn’t have to do too much work anymore. He sits in the yard and basks in the sun to sew a few stitches of doll’s clothes. He feels sleepy when he basks in the sun. They slept on the open space in front of them, and the sun shone on them very comfortably, so they simply put away the sewing basket and went back to the room to squint for a while.

Wei Lanxiang came in from the backyard and didn’t see him, quietly walked to the door of the room, glanced through the crack of the door, and left without saying a word.

It was not until Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing came back that Lu Gu woke up when he heard the voices outside. This sleep was very comfortable and relieved. When he came out and heard Shen Xuanqing say that the deer and the sheep sold a total of 68 taels of silver, he became more and more awake, and his eyes lit up.

“The satin I bought for you is silk, soft and smooth, and comfortable to wear after the weather is hot.” Shen Xuanqing held the folded satin on the table and handed it to him, motioning him to touch it.

Usually, the clothes are burlap, and the better one is fine linen. Where did Lu Gu wear silk and satin? The color of the water is bright and unobtrusive.

“So good.” He touched the satin in his hand and admired, thinking that it must be expensive, but he couldn’t help but laugh.

Shen Xuanqing said with a smile: “I told my mother, let her help you make two clothes for you, this thing is soft, if there is more cloth, maybe I can make a bellyband for the child.”

Wei Lanxiang had seen the satin just now, and when she heard her son’s words, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my mother will definitely make you two.”

In the eyes of farmers, satin is extremely precious. Although she was a little worried about money, Lu Gu was pregnant, and Shen Xuanqing bought the satin herself, so she definitely couldn’t say it.

Shen Xuanqing secretly mentioned to her a couple of times before, saying that Lu Gu felt uncomfortable with the children working alone in the past two days. She felt a little sorry for being a mother and a grandmother. This time, it was to show how much she valued Lu Gu. I have to help Shen Xuanqing speak.

Shen Xuanqing is not a stingy person. He made so much money today. Besides Lu Gu, he also bought some food and drinks such as pig head cinnamon crisp green plum stuffed for his family, and he was very happy.

The good boy smelled the pig’s head and meat in the oil-paper bag and kept rubbing people around the table, whimpering and screaming and pretending to be pitiful. Right now, Lu Gu was happily holding the satin, and when he raised his head, he met Shen Xuanqing’s star eyes, and his smiling eyes became more and more beautiful. , as if there is a brilliance in it, and he ignores the good boy for a while.

There was a warm sun and a drizzle in the spring, and the next day it was cloudy. The rain started to float in the noon, and the wind showed a bit of coldness. Lu Gu added another piece of clothes, and sat with Shen Yan in the main room to watch her embroidery work. , and sometimes correct the embroidery method.

Shen Xuanqing, who was wearing a mino jacket and a hat, was busy in the backyard. The little ram in the sheepfold was big, but he was not in a hurry to sell it.

He was very happy that he sold sixty-eight taels for the first hunting in the spring. He didn’t waste the hard work in the mountains. He knew that spring farming was important. , and stayed for a few more days, taking the dog everywhere to search for the traces of merlu.

Only 60 taels is amazing. If this money is only spent on children, it will be more than enough to raise them in the country until they are seven or eight years old. But he thinks more. In the future, the children will study. If you want to use paper, pen and ink well A little bit, it’s all money. If you are a disobedient boy, you have to practice your martial arts. If you want to learn a sword, you have to spend money to buy it.

The more he earns, in the future, Lu Gu will not have to work hard and his children will not have to endure hardship. Compared with last year, he is more motivated to hunt this year, and he does not feel tired, and his heart is hot.
