The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 186

It has been cloudy for several days. It hasn’t snowed but the north wind is blowing hard. Today, the sun finally came out at noon, and the wind stopped. Taking advantage of the sun, Lu Gu coaxed Brother Xiaoling to sleep and came out to bask in the sun. By the way, make a pair of thick shoes for Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing has big feet, and the soles of these shoes are more expensive than others in the family. He often has to hurry, either going up the mountain or running to the town. He makes a few more pairs of winter shoes. replaced.

During the slack farming season in winter, there is not much work to do. Shen Yan is sitting next to her and embroidering handkerchiefs. The flowers she embroiders are getting better now, and she sold five of them two days ago.

Unlike Lu Gu, she didn’t pinch needles since she was a child, and some of them were not embroidered well, so she simply used them for her family. Now Lu Guteng can’t make needles and threads, so she gave her the embroidery threads and Sujuanpa, not to mention selling them for money. Well, I have to make a few new handkerchiefs at home during Chinese New Year.

Country people can’t afford cloth to make new clothes during the New Year, so they can only make new shoes. If they have a few copper plates in their hands, they will also buy a new handkerchief. They don’t have to worry about buying new clothes, but new handkerchiefs are also indispensable.

The two were gossiping while working. A moment later, the third grandmother’s house steamed jujube cakes, and they went to get some later, and then they had to go up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots. In late autumn, there were fewer fresh vegetables.

After a while, Lu Gu got up and walked around the room. Xiao Lingjun hadn’t woken up yet, her cheeks were rosy and not cold at first glance. He was covered with a thick quilt, and the quilt was still stuffed with Mrs. Tang, which was warm, so that he was not afraid that the child would be cold when he slept in less clothes.

The sun is good, Ji Qiuyue came back from the big house with Zhao’er in her arms. Zhao’er is fat and attractive, and there are grandma and aunts all the way to tease and play, and the country people eat plain, mostly skinny, even if the child has milk on his body Fat, not necessarily how fat, fat dolls like Zhao’er are blessed at first sight, and the elderly are the most favorite.

“Little maid and aunt are here.” She smiled and said to Zhao’er as soon as she entered the door, and the family immediately became lively.

After Lu Gu came out, he said with a smile that he wanted to wash a milk fruit. When Lingjun woke up, he wanted to eat. When Zhaoer came back, he stretched out his hand to hug him, so he took Zhaoer and kissed him on the fleshy cheek. mouth.

Ji Qiuyue hugged her son all the way, pulled over the bench and sat down with a smile: “You hug for a while, I’ll rest, sink.”

The three played with the child for a while, and Lu Gu let Zhao’er sit on his lap and said, “Sister-in-law, help you wash a milk fruit, it’s time for Brother Ling to wake up and eat.”

“Okay.” Ji Qiuyue got up and went to get the milk fruit.

At this time, the good boy ran in from outside, followed by Shen Xuanqing and Luo Biao. This morning, Shen Xuanqing put on a mule cart and went to Fenggu Town to send rabbits and chickens and ducks. He never thought that Luo Biao would come back with him.

Since last year, Luo Biao will come over to eat and drink when he has free time. The Shen family has become accustomed to it.

“Sister-in-law.” Luo Biao never hesitated. He even bought a rattle for Lingjun when he came back. He came here many times and was quite familiar with the Shen family.

Shen Xuanqing moved the small table to the courtyard and said, “Biaozi sleeps all night, and we will go up the mountain to hunt tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyue said, “Okay, rest there at night, I’ll make the bed later.”

“So, thank you sister-in-law.” Luo Biao and Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing are familiar and come here often, and Lingjun didn’t miss it when he was drinking at the full moon.

However, because of their different identities, and Ji Qiuyue, Lu Gu, and Shen Yan, he was a little unfamiliar and polite when speaking. He is an outsider, and naturally he is not good at talking to women and husbands. It is Wei Lanxiang, she is old. Instead, there are not so many taboos.

Shen Xuanqing poured tea and sat down with Luo Biao, drinking and chatting. After he delivered the rabbit to the building, Luo Biao happened to be there. He said that he had been fine in the past few days. When the car was there, he pulled Luo Biao back and went to the mountains tomorrow morning.

Winter hunting is not uncommon, Shen Xuanqing originally intended to go hunting in the mountains recently.

Speaking of which, he doesn’t go up the mountain for that long now. He is at home for half of the month. It is very convenient to have a mule cart. He often goes to the town to deliver livestock. There is no need to ask Luo Biao about the Li family and Lu Wen. As a hidden danger, he had to guard against it. Now it’s just a few words of gossip. He already knew that Li Mingshan’s illness had not been cured, and Lu Wen gave birth to a pair of children, while the eldest Miss Luo gave birth to a son.

Although the Li family has been born, Li Mingshan’s disease has not been good. Old Mrs. Li has been such a sweetheart son in her life, and she has tried every means to treat the disease.

Li Mingshan lay sick in bed, and Lu Wenwen didn’t please the Li family very much. Without Li Mingshan’s support, his life would not be the same as before.

Mrs. Li was annoyed with the Lu family. If it wasn’t for Lu Wen, the marriage with the Luo family would not have to be dealt with, causing her to lose a lot of good words with the Luo family. For Lu Wen’s sake for the Li family, she made their family members more prosperous. She didn’t say it clearly, but she knew that if Li Mingshan’s disease couldn’t be cured, let alone having children, he would even have sex. Neither.

Therefore, she did not drive Lu Wen out, and gave the other party and the child enough food and clothing. After all, they were from the blood of the Li family, but the two people in the country who claimed to be their father-in-law and mother-in-law still called Li Mingshan a son-in-law. It’s just a concubine’s room, where is the son-in-law and husband-in-law, she has always been unwilling to see her. After Li Mingshan’s accident last year, he immediately instructed the servant who looked at the back door, and the two were not allowed to enter the door again.

When Lu Wen was pregnant, he was pushed down and saw red. The child was born a little weak. He had a bad mind, but he still cared about the child. Since he was not worried about food and clothing, and the child looked weak, he would stop worrying about the child. , I was so busy that I didn’t even see Du Hehua again, so I just asked the servant girl to go out and give me something.

As for Du Hehua and Lu Daxiang, last year they came to Shen’s house to fight Qiufeng, but they didn’t get it. One was broken and the other was broken. After returning, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was. He spent the last money on the medicine. After thinking about it, they let Lu Daxiang, who can move his legs, go to the town to cry and complain. Originally, he wanted to talk to Lu Wen and ask their young master and son-in-law to help and rectify the Shen family to vent their anger, and Lu Daxiang could not enter the Li family. The back door, but I can ask Lu Wen’s servant to give me a message.

But at that time, Li Mingshan fell ill, and Lu Wen didn’t dare to mention it to the Li family. Family, he didn’t even dare to mention Shen Xuanqing, but he had made a marriage contract at the beginning. When he mentioned it, it was a slap in the face. If he didn’t do it, he would have a reputation for treacherous and treachery. If Luo Hongsi knew about it, it would be even more incredible. Mrs. Li didn’t tell him about this in front of him, but he had a feeling that the old lady definitely knew where she dared to pull out the tiger’s beard.

Du Hehua is his mother after all. He sent the servant to take money, grain and medicinal materials to keep him at home. He was annoyed that Shen Xuanqing even beat his mother and a woman and also had doubts. According to Lu Daxiang, Shen Xuanqing came to the door, but Shen Xuanqing didn’t make any movement for a year or two, so why did he suddenly run to beat someone?

Later, after the child was born, he once asked the servant to deliver the cloth to help the old mother and father who had a broken leg and a broken arm. Only after inquiring did he know that it was his mother and the stepfather who ran to the Shen family and were beaten.

When the little servant replied, he kept his face and didn’t say that the two were running to fight Qiufeng, but Lu Wen couldn’t guess where he was, and he was angry and ashamed. He clearly broke up with Lu Gu and Shen’s family, but he couldn’t figure out who he was running to fight Qiufeng. No, I just went to Shen’s house and told him to lose face in front of the servant.

Fortunately, the little servant Li Mingshan gave him was loyal but stupid, and a few words and a little favor could make the other side shut up.

Shen Xuanqing didn’t care about how the Li family was, and only occasionally heard a word or two from Luo Biao. Their little brother was so delicate and agile that he was too busy to hold the child, so how could he care about other things.

There are many houses in the family now, and people can sleep. After Luo Biao rested for a night, the next morning, together with Shen Yaoqing, the three went up the mountain with the dog, and didn’t come back until evening.

Wei Lanxiang stood in front of the courtyard after the sun slanted, and chatted with Aunt Miao next door for a while. In winter, Shen Xuanqing mostly hunted in the front mountain, and came back in half a day. Today, she went early and didn’t see her return, so she was naturally worried. , She murmured in her heart, thinking that she would come back sooner after going to three young men.

After Shen Xuanqing and the others came back, they carried a wild sheep with hard branches, only to realize that they had entered the mountains far away to hunt sheep.

Ye Yang was hit with two arrows, one was right in the throat, and the other was wound only on the stomach. It was shot by Luo Biao. His archery skills are indeed worse than Shen Xuanqing, but it is not bad to be able to hit the prey. .

Shen Yaoqing shot two fat rabbits, one was killed and the other was injured. The injured one died not long after he came back. If it is cold today, if you peel the skin and freeze it overnight, the meat will become hard. If you want to eat rabbit meat for a few days, you don’t need to kill the ones raised.

Shen Xuanqing’s sheep hunting didn’t take off. It was freezing cold, so he ate some mutton to warm up his body. Last year, he wanted to kill a sheep to nourish Lu Gu and his family. Unfortunately, Lu Gu was pregnant at that time and smelled fishy mutton. The taste is straight up, this year will be fine, wouldn’t it be beautiful to stew a pot of fresh mutton in the cold weather.

But I came back late today, and it was already dark, so I had to put it aside for one night to eat mutton. Luo Biao originally thought that he was going to leave today, but since he had hunted sheep, Shen Xuanqing kept him and stayed for another night.

Never thought that the howling north wind would blow in the middle of the night, and in the early morning of the next day, the snow fell all over the ground, and the snow did not stop.

Lu Gu heard the wind in the night, and wrapped his arms around the child in his bed in a daze. Lingjun was very familiar with Eminem. He slept soundly and sweetly when he was hugged.

The goose-feather snow outside was swept up by the wind, and the blowing made people unable to open their eyes. If they went out without wrapping themselves, the wind was like a knife, and the wind was like a knife.

There will be one or two heavy snowfalls every year, which is not surprising to the villagers. The snow is not that thick, but the wind is blowing tightly. No one wants to go out on such a day. Luo Biao still sleeps in the big house at night, wake up and take a look. I was happy, and I said to Shen Yaoqing, yes, even if I want to go back tomorrow, I have to invite the steward in the building to have a drink.

In such a cold day, Shen Xuanqing still boiled water and killed the sheep after getting up. It was cold to eat hot stewed meat. Besides, Luo Biao couldn’t go back in the past two days. Excuse me.

Lu Gu wrapped the badger leather collar. He didn’t go out of the room very much when he wanted to hold the child. Wei Lanxiang wrapped it tightly, not to mention the badger leather collar.

Ji Qiuyue and Zhao’er slept back to their hometown last night, not to avoid suspicion. Luo Biao slept so loudly at night that he couldn’t wake up when he was shaking. She listened to it the night before yesterday and Wei Lanxiang just happened to be Holding his eldest grandson to play on the bed, Ji Qiuyue didn’t go there at night.

When Shen Yaoqing and Luo Biao came over in the wind and snow, they were well-dressed, but the north wind was unpleasant, so they roasted in front of the brazier for a while before going to kill the sheep with Shen Xuanqing.

Fortunately, a large pot of hot water was burned, so killing the sheep would not freeze hands so much, but it was not very pleasant. After Shen Xuanqing finished it, he did not bake his hands on the fire. After a burst of warmth, I can take a look at my son and whistle twice to play with Xiaolingjun.

By noon, the mutton was boiled in a cauldron, and there was still a heavy snowfall outside, and it was a little dark even in the sky.

The family, together with Luo Biao, took the tandoor into the main room, placed the stewed mutton on the tandoor with a horse spoon, and simmered while eating, not afraid of the meat becoming cold, they were really happy and lively, and they even opened a jar of wine. , a big piece of meat and a big sip of wine, dispelling all the chills in the snow.
