The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 211

Shen Xuanqing drove the mule cart for a long distance before he stopped driving the mules. The official road was smooth, and the running was very smooth, and even the unpleasantness of encountering bad people disappeared with the wind.

Jixing Town is far away. This time, Lu Gu was very happy to see the dwarf deer. Last time he went hunting, he only caught a wild sheep. I know what it will look like when I see it.

Thinking of this, he became happy again, and left Lu Daxiang and Du Hehua behind, thinking to see if he could catch a more beautiful Merlu next time, and let Brother Ling take a look.

He didn’t know that after Du Hehua met Lu Wen, he cried and complained that he had no money, but got silver taels, and the tears stopped immediately. Lu Gu, dissatisfied with the good luck of their family, scolded in a sloppy mouth.

And after hearing this, Lu Wen no longer felt relieved before, lowered his eyes and remained silent.

In the past, the Shen family lived like this. Mud legs could only be eaten in the soil. Even if they raised rabbits, the feces were dirty and smelly. A little comparison, although he was only a concubine in the Li family, he didn’t need to do any rough work. , There are many delicious and spicy dishes.

Now Li Mingshan has recovered from his illness and is no longer bedridden, but because he is no longer there, not to mention alcoholism, his temperament has changed drastically.

Luo Hongsi has also been scolded, but her family is a silk and satin village in the town. After giving birth to a son, Mrs. Li is very concerned. She is not afraid at all. He is different and can only bear it. Fortunately, there are children. The inside pointed to the gods and cursed nonsense, and the child kept crying. After Mrs. Li found out, she asked someone to come over and drag Li Mingshan away.

He used to love to hear Du Hehua talk about how the Shen family lived as a countryman. After comparing, he knew that his original choice was the right one, and he felt at ease.

He and his children have a lot of monthly money to eat and wear, and they live better than the country people, but Li Mingshan is no longer his support, and life is not as beautiful as before, and he must be careful about his face.

Now Du Hehua said that the Shen family bought a house in Jixing Town, and Lu Gu lived in the town. He lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, and it was too late to regret.

Shen Xuanqing doesn’t care how they are, as long as they don’t cause trouble.

After he drove the mule cart to Jixing Town, not far from the main street, he saw a familiar figure outside the crowd at a glance, Lu Gu was holding Linger, Ji Qiuyue and Zhaoer were onlookers watching the stalls that played hand-carrying tricks.

There are men, women and children watching the fun. In order to avoid the men, they are only on the periphery of the crowd, and the children are not mentioned. The two adults stand on tiptoe and look inside, while moving along the gaps in the crowd, very excited and happy, how can there be such a thing in the village The liveliness can be seen.

There were a lot of people watching, the mule cart slowed down, and the crowded crowd saw the mules approaching and gave way to both sides.

Before Shen Xuanqing could get to him, he heard the crowd cheering. After the sound passed, someone in the field was beating the gong and talking, and the rich took the money. He was approaching, and suddenly said: ” Give it if you want.”

People from the countryside see that there are very few people who are making money, and they all join in the fun, but they are very hard-working. After all, it is not so easy to support a family. Lu Gu was hesitating to take out his wallet when he suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned his head. Seeing that Shen Xuanqing was just a few steps away, she smiled in surprise.

“I have some copper plates here. You can throw them away. If you want to see them for a while, I will wait in front.” Shen Xuanqing jumped out of the car and planned to lead the mule. .

He took out a small purse from his bosom, and there was no broken silver in it, but copper coins.

“Okay.” Lu Gu took the purse with a smile, playing tricks in order to make people throw more money. There was a big man breathing fire and dancing fire dragons, and the crowd cheered again. He ignored Shen Xuanqing and quickly turned his head to watch the excitement.

The copper plates splashed, Lu Gu distributed some twenty copper plates in the purse to Zhao’er, Ji Qiuyue carried the child to the capable girl holding the gong, and threw it into the gong, Zhao’er Happy to laugh.

Children will learn by watching. When Linggeer sees his brother like this, he stretches his arms and wants to play. Lu Gu put a few copper plates in his small hand, and then grabs Lingerer’s hand and leads him to the copper plate. Throw on the gong.

The girl with the long braids saw the child throwing money, so she cooperated with the gong to catch it, with a bright and bright smile on her tanned face.

“There are too many people, let’s go back.” Ji Qiuyue said, she came out to watch it for a while today, adults and children were happy, it was time to go back.

“Yeah.” Lu Gu agreed, stuffed Shen Xuanqing’s empty purse into his arms, and walked forward with a child in his arms. Sure enough, Shen Xuanqing was waiting for them on the side of the street with few people.

“Wang!”

The good boy stood on the scooter and jumped down when he saw them, this time Shen Xuanqing ignored it.

Brother Ling knew his big dog, and looked down at the good boy who was wagging his tail and rubbing against Lu Gu’s leg.

Seeing the prey on the car and the grown sheep at home, Lu Gu asked with a smile, “Do you want to sell the sheep?”

As soon as the two of them came over, Shen Xuanqing took the mule and walked forward slowly, nodding and saying, “I haven’t killed pigs recently. Selling some mutton makes the shop more lively and lively.”

The main street is spacious, but there are many pedestrians, and it is not good for the three of them to run side by side. Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue gradually landed behind the mule cart with their children in their arms.

After arriving home, Shen Xuanqing got the sheep and the dwarf deer off the scooter in the backyard. Seeing Brother Ling hugging Lu Gu, he pointed to the dwarf deer and said to Linger: “Look, Dad caught the dwarf deer, we Linger and Lu Gu. Zhao’er hasn’t seen a deer yet.”

Brother Ling blinked his eyes and followed Dad’s fingers to look at the dwarf deer on the ground. His eyes were really curious, and he looked at it for a while without blinking.

“Deer.” Lord Zhao’er spoke quickly and knew that it was a deer.

“What—”

The sheep let out another long cry, and Zhao’er learned to speak, laughing and giggling like the sheep.

Ling Ge’er wasn’t very good at speaking yet, but he was learning consciously. He looked at Zhao’er, and then his milky voice was soft and he gave a short “baa”.

“Ouch.” Shen Xuanqing grinned suddenly, so happy that he subconsciously let out a sigh, and boasted: “It’s really like learning.”

Lu Gu was even more happy, his eyes crooked while holding the child.

While the dwarf deer was still alive, Shen Xuanqing didn’t go to the shop after having lunch, but went to the restaurant in the town and the rich man’s house to ask if he wanted any wild things.

He met some people in Jixing Town. Wild things like deer are much rarer and more pleasant than rabbits and wild boars. Ordinary people can’t afford venison. Rich people are different. Is a face.

Many people know that he is a hunter, and his knowledge in the mountains is better than others. Some people invite him to go hunting together in the mountains. He didn’t refuse, and he slowly got used to it, and the prey will be easy to sell in the future.

Their life is not comparable to that of a wealthy family, but they talk, laugh, and have troubles, but most of the time they are happy and happy.

The autumn mood is rustling, the mountains and forests are desolate, and the yellow leaves fall all over the ground.

In the slightly open forest, three hounds suddenly sprang from their hiding place. With a force, the ground was kicked out of the soil and splashed on the dead leaves behind them. Their claws galloped and leaped, startling the leaves and birds.

Shen Xuanqing didn’t even take off the longbow. He walked out from behind the tree and watched the big ash chase the rabbits. In the bamboo basket on the ground behind the tree, they had already caught two wild rabbits whose fur was stained with blood.

After the fall, he stopped hunting foxes, and he did not idle, so he found another way to make money.

There is a small pen workshop in Jixing Town, which collects rabbit fur for making pens. After mid-autumn, the hare is fat and has thick fur and smooth hair.

However, domestic rabbits have to be sold for meat, and sometimes they are slaughtered when they come to customers. As long as the rabbit skins are sent to the pen workshop, if there is too much rabbit meat left, it is a pity that they can’t be sold all at once, so he went up the mountain to hunt.

Sometimes the dog’s mouth is heavy, or he shoots an arrow with a bow and kills him. He won’t be too distressed if the meat can’t be sold out. Either eat it at home or give it to relatives and friends. Recently, even dogs eat meat every day. During the fattening season, the six dogs of all sizes ate all their fur, which was smooth and smooth.

After quickly driving the rabbit, the hound stopped chasing him. He whistled, and the boy raised his head and ran back with the hare in his mouth. Dahui and Dahei trailed behind him a few steps.

This time, it was the first to push and bite, Shen Xuanqing took out the rabbit from the dog’s mouth, glanced at the injured fat rabbit, and rubbed the good boy’s head to show his appreciation.

Because he was only selling furs, he didn’t hold the dogs and could only catch them alive. It was only reasonable to chase them quickly, and he could beat a few more dogs a day.

Good boy stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail, happy and excited.

At this time, it was still early, so he also brought dry food up the mountain, took a short rest, took the dog to the river to drink water, and then looked for traces of fat hares in the forest.

In the early morning of the next day, the autumn mist was white, and the rural farmers still got up early. Before winter came, they had to pick up mushrooms and dig sweet nests and other mountain goods, and save more to survive the winter.

Shen Xuanqing set up the mule cart and put all the twenty or so rabbits caught in the past few days on it. Shen Yan got up early and sat on the cart to go to Jixing Town with him.

Even the good boy jumped into the car, it became more and more proficient, and even squatted next to Shen Yan’s calf.

“Slow down on the road, don’t run too fast, remember to ask your eldest brother to come back early, don’t delay too long, it’s getting dark now.” Wei Lanxiang told her at the door.

Shen Yan smiled and said, “I’ll come back when I know mother.”

“Mother, we’re leaving.” Shen Xuanqing said, waving the whip to let the mule move forward.

Shen Yan hadn’t been to the town for a long time. She put a small bag on her leg. It was a stack of handkerchiefs she had saved for several months. She planned to sell it to the embroidery workshop in Jixing Town. It’s four cents a piece.

One of her was selling handkerchiefs, and the other was going out for a walk. Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yaoqing were looking at shops in the town. Today, as soon as Shen Xuanqing passed by, they came back with the mule cart, and she came back with her, no need to stay in the town. Stay one night.

Nowadays, there is not much work at home. After all, in autumn, winter wheat has already been planted, and the paddy fields have been cut. After the autumn harvest is busy, there is no need to worry about it.

Li Laiqing is a long-term worker hired by their family. He has to pay for a year’s wages. Now there is not much work in the fields. After the mid-autumn season, the weeds turned into decline and no longer grew wildly, so he was asked to help feed the livestock at home. Chopping grass and extracting water is not a heavy task.

The trolley squeaked as it ran, and the wheels turned and rolled over the ground.

Along the way, the greenery in the mountains, forests and fields gradually disappeared. Fortunately, when autumn came, they called He Zhi to come to mow the grass too, and wanted to get more cars. When they were the busiest, they even managed meals for the He Zhi family for a few days. Even though it was only one meal, it was quite interesting.

At that time, even their family members, especially Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yaoqing, also went out to mow the grass with big bamboo baskets on their backs, for fear that there would not be enough food for livestock and poultry in winter, they were so busy for several days.

Nowadays, the house is not only stuffed with hay, but also has three piles outside, plus several piles of wheat straw and rice oranges. In winter, we go to the mountains to dig grass roots and tree roots. Big mountains, as long as they are diligent enough, how can the livestock survive the winter.

It was a little cold when I woke up early, and the fog gradually dissipated. Everything I saw along the way revealed the desolation and silence of autumn and winter, and even the sky didn’t look so blue.

Shen Yan’s body swayed with the scooter, she rubbed her face, tightened the badger leather collar around her neck, even covering part of her ears, and then tucked her hands into the cotton sleeves to warm her.

It was cold and it was windy when running. Shen Xuanqing, who was sitting in the front driving the car, was also wearing thick clothes and wearing a badger leather collar. When he spoke, the cold wind poured in. The two of them didn’t say a word until they entered Jixing. After the town.

The mule cart slowed down, Shen Yan no longer curled herself up next to the good boy, her back straightened, and her clear almond eyes looked curiously at the streets on both sides.

Good boy has long been familiar with Jixing Town, and is familiar with riding cars. He has no interest in the shops on the street, but when he saw a few dogs running by the street, he looked over at once.

When the two of them arrived in Jixing Town, it was already bright, the sun came out, and there were more people than getting up early. Shen Xuanqing jumped out of the car and walked forward with the mule, so as not to bump into pedestrians.

When Shen Yan was on the road, she was tightly wrapped, her head lowered, her mouth and nose buried under the collar of the badger leather, now she raised her face, revealing a youthful and beautiful face, her skin was often not as white as Lu Gu, although the sun was not as white as that of Lu Gu. It is definitely not black or yellow, and it is smooth and delicate, especially the pair of almond eyes, which are clear and moist.

It was only after this year that she was only fifteen, the youngest in the family, with her mother and brother as her backers. Ji Qiuyue had no children when she first got married. She took her with her all day long when she was young, and was also taken care of by her sister-in-law. Even though he was poor, he never had any other worries, so he looked a little childish regardless of his demeanor or appearance.

To say that girls of this age, some have already married, but in their big summer, there are many women who are 17 to 80 married. When they are 19 years old, they are not married, and then the government will force marriage.

She has grown taller again this year. Seeing that she has grown taller, and her appearance has grown a bit, she has gradually become an adult. Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang are looking for a good husband’s family for her, but they have to get up early.

Their family is no longer short of money, and naturally they are not in a hurry to marry their daughter. Wei Lanxiang only gave birth to this youngest daughter, and she is distressed. She didn’t say it, but she was obviously picky. It can’t be confused, otherwise the girl will get angry when she gets married.

Shen Yan doesn’t have a father, Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing are older brothers, and her younger sister’s life-long affairs are naturally attentive. She is still young this year, so she is not in a hurry to get married at this time, so they are also picking on their sister-in-law. No, there are always things that are not pleasing to the eye.
