The Sweet Little Fulang

Compared with other families, raising daughters in the Shen family is not the same. Some daughters or twins in the village do some money-making work, and most of them are to supplement the family. None, just like when Lu Gu was still in Lu's house, Du Hehua sold all the handkerchiefs and sachets he made, and he couldn't get a single coin himself.

Since Shen Yan has grown up in the past two years, she has slowly accumulated a dozen or twenty copper coins in her hands, and Wei Lanxiang doesn't even ask her for them, let alone the rest of the Shen family. Silly, even Ji Qiuyue likes this sister-in-law.

Shen Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to give her egg money. She was envious of seeing her two brothers selling things to make money all day long.

"Really?" She was surprised.

Lu Gu swallowed the pastry and said, "Naturally it is true."

When he worked in the Lu family, he didn't get a single penny for his work, so he knew the feeling of watching money fall into other people's hands. Of course, Wei Lanxiang is Shen Yan's mother, so he can't do too much, but it's different if he has money in his own hands. Just like him now, Shen Xuanqing doesn't take any of the money he earns, and leaves it to him, so he feels the benefits of being rich, and he can make decisions on what he wants to buy, which is completely different.

Due to the different circumstances, although he is not as clear as Li Wanyun, knowing that the money is in his hands, he is straight, but he is also vaguely aware that it is not ignorant.

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say, she just smiled and rolled her almond eyes, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring honey water to Lu Gu.

"Brother, how is the paddy field?" Shen Xuanqing asked after eating the pastry in his hand.

Shen Yaoqing picked up a pheasant and weighed it. Hearing this, he said: "The seedlings were planted a few days ago. The three of us were short of manpower, so we asked Uncle Jinhu and Jinlong for help. We will take care of a meal and then give it to the two of us." Shiwen, your sister-in-law is cooking at home, and the five of us worked in the field for another four days before we finished."

When spring plowing is busy, you have to take care of a meal when you ask someone to help you. The meal must be dry rice, and there must be two dishes, and there must be some oil and meat. Farm work requires effort. , if it spreads too badly, it will be laughed at.

"By the way, there is something I need to tell you two." Ji Qiuyue opened her mouth next to her. She looked a little apprehensive, and after glancing at Shen Yaoqing, she said, "Didn't Guzi buy Wanyun's chicken? The rooster that was given away was old, and our family also has a rooster, so we killed the old rooster and took care of the meat dishes for the four meals."

Seeing that Lu Gu blinked her eyes, she felt a little guilty, and explained in a low voice: "The rooster at home is young. Mother said that if she has time this year, she wants to hatch some chicks. It's useless to keep the old rooster, so..."

At that time, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing were on the mountain, so there was no way to discuss with them.

Shen Yaoqing is also watching his words, if it is only Shen Xuanqing's words, he can just kill him and say it. After all, Lu Gu is a husband, timid and thin-skinned, and he is still young, so he has to think about it if he wants to say a few decent words, for a while No words.

"That rooster is indeed too old." Shen Xuanqing opened his mouth, seeing that Lu Gu was stunned but had no other emotions, he smiled and said: "If you kill it, you will kill it, it is enough to have a rooster crowing at home, otherwise it will be too noisy. "

Lu Gu was stunned for a moment because he remembered that the rooster cost money. Li Wanyun said that he gave [-] yuan for [-] yuan, but no one knew about it except Shen Xuanqing, so he was a little slow in reacting.

"Yeah." He nodded following Shen Xuanqing's words, without any anger or anger.

Different from the chickens and ducks I raised, I bought Li Wanyun back just to help her, it was just an old rooster, so what if my family slaughtered it and ate it, besides, Shen Yaoqing bought black-bone chicken for Ji Qiuyue in winter, and he also enjoyed it and ate it There's a lot of meat, and sometimes Shen Xuanqing is blatantly partial, scooping up an extra bowl of black chicken soup for him to replenish his body.

"Brother Guzi, taste it quickly, I put a lot of honey for you." Shen Yan came over with a bowl, and handed it to Shen Xuanqing very casually, without even looking at her second brother, squeezed beside Lu Gu, her face full of tears. laugh.

Shen Xuanqing took the bowl, seeing how "snobbish" she was, helpless and funny, she asked, "Did you let me put it?"

"Who said you didn't let it go, don't you know after drinking it yourself?" Shen Yan was trying to please Lu Gu at the moment, and she grew up together, and she was not polite to her two elder brothers.

Now that the matter of the rooster has been discussed, there is no grievance anymore, Shen Yaoqing also thought of Li Wanyun, and said: "Lao Aunt Zhang didn't come back at all times, and the second wife of Zhang's family and those relatives went to Li's house. I don't know why it's so noisy, Li Wanyun just didn't come back, so it looks like she doesn't recognize the Zhang family."

"It's fine to leave." Shen Xuanqing took a sip of honey water and said again: "Why bother to pay for the dead for the rest of your life."

They all saw how Zhang Zhengzi and the old Zhang treated Li Wanyun. It was really not worth it to stay in the village. She was a woman, she didn't even have any land, and she didn't have any money to earn a living. It wouldn't be too much to go back to her mother's house. down and out.

"Sigh." Shen Yaoqing sighed, he had little contact with Li Wanyun, and at the same time sighed, he felt that Li Wanyun's courage was really extraordinary, and after going back to her natal family, she was able to get her to help her stay, which shows that she is a smart person. .

As Ji Qiuyue grew older, she was more likely to be sad than before, and she sighed when she heard the words, women and twins were the most difficult, Li Wanyun was not bad, some widows lost their husbands to rely on, so what if they gave birth to a son, Relatives have sold quite a few.

"These rabbits are all going to be breeding rabbits?" Seeing her sad, Shen Yaoqing hurriedly started talking.

Shen Xuanqing understood what he meant, put down the bowl and said with a smile: "The mountain road is bumpy and far away. I have seen how many can survive tonight, and pick a few strong ones to make breeding rabbits. Auntie likes spicy fried rabbit meat. Kill the fat ones and eat them tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Yan saw the doorway, smiled and clapped his hands at this moment, tilted his head and said to Ji Qiuyue: "Sister-in-law, I will pick a big one, how about half of it being fried in spicy and half in red?"

"I think it's okay." Ji Qiuyue was led astray by them. The eleven live rabbits at home had to be raised. She hadn't eaten rabbit meat for more than a month, and she was really thinking about it.

Usually, Shen Xuanqing didn't care much about their life after beating the rabbits, as long as they were fresh, they could be sold in the town.

After resting their feet, Shen Yaoqing took them to the backyard to look at Lei's rabbit nest.

"There is a gap between the logs, and the rabbit dung can fall down along the gap, so the nest will not be too dirty. It is still a bit cold at night, just spread hay on the nest, and change it every day or two." Shen Yaoqing clapped When he reached the rabbit's nest as high as his thigh, his expression and tone were full of complacency.

There are two rows of rabbit nests built with wood and yellow mud in the backyard. The bottom is empty, and they are supported by short sturdy wooden pillars. The rabbit nests built in the mid-air are as square as long bamboo cages. Separated by wood, there are six nests in the front row, and ten nests in the back.

Seeing the second younger brother nodding in satisfaction, Shen Yaoqing smiled even wider and said, "It's a pity that our backyard is full of chickens, ducks and kennels. There is not enough space, otherwise we can build another row and raise more."

"That's enough for now." Shen Xuanqing said, the five female rabbits have already lived in, the rabbit's nest is quite big, not narrow, it is not a problem for two male and female rabbits to live together.

"Anyway, there are rabbit cages, if there are not enough male rabbits to stay in the cage." Shen Yaoqing also said that male rabbits are not so delicate compared to female rabbits who are about to give birth. Rabbits are taken out to mate with other female rabbits.

They had raised rabbits before, and it was not easy to raise them. The place where they lived could not be dirty and damp, and they could not be frightened.

But if you develop it, there will be money behind it.

While talking, the big rooster in the chicken coop flew to the chicken coop. When Shen Xuanqing saw it, the rooster crowed and the dog barked at home. The rabbits who were accustomed to hearing it would not panic, but the ones that had just been caught would not necessarily be. He thought again Shen Yaoqing just said that there is not enough space in the backyard, and the idea of ​​buying land is getting stronger.

"Erqing, Guzi, it's time to eat." Wei Lanxiang shouted in front, the pimple soup was cooked, and a plate of scrambled eggs was also cooked.

"The steamed buns were overheated at noon, so they were cold, but they were soft and suitable for eating with pimple soup." She sat beside her and saw her second son and husband eating deliciously, smiling all over her face.

Every time he came down from the mountain, Lu Gu didn't have to work, and his family was considerate of his exhaustion.

In the evening, the whole family had dinner and sat in the yard watching the clouds and the sunset, chatting and resting. Wei Lanxiang felt in her heart that life was much more comfortable than before, how could she sit still when she had no money.

However, after the wind brought the smell of the backyard, Ji Qiuyue couldn't enjoy this comfort at all. She bent down in the corner and vomited, and Shen Yaoqing patted her back to comfort her.

Finally she straightened up, took a sip of warm water from Shen Yan to rinse her mouth, then looked at Lu Gu shyly, and said: "After getting pregnant, my nose becomes more precious, and the smell of excrement that I have been used to for 20 years is even smelling. I’m not used to it, what a joke.”

They raised a lot of things in the backyard of their house, including chicken dung, duck dung, rabbit dung, and a sheep tied up, so the smell is naturally not to mention.

But country people are like this, and most of them are used to the smell. No matter how clean the front yard and the house are, the backyard will inevitably smell of manure as long as you raise poultry and livestock. The smell of the medicine dissipated, but Ji Qiuyue was pregnant, and the medicine was too hot and strong, so she didn't use it for fear of hurting her.

After hearing this, Shen Xuanqing looked at Lu Gu, the two of them will have children in the future, and by that time, what should Lu Gu do if he is not used to the smell and vomits all day long.

"Mother, brother." He said slowly, "I want to buy a piece of land to raise rabbits."

"What?" Wei Lanxiang was stunned for a moment, her voice raised a little unconsciously, there is nowhere to spend the money, and you have to buy land to raise rabbits?

Shen Yaoqing shoveled a piece of shovel to cover the dirt in the corner of the wall, heard the words and looked over, but did not interrupt him.

Not only rabbits, Shen Xuanqing planned to buy a place big enough to raise even chickens and ducks in it, so that the house would not smell so much of dung.

These words brightened the eyes of Ji Qiuyue, who was tortured by the smell, and the same was true for Shen Yaoqing. He and Ji Qiuyue had a good relationship, and if his wife was not guilty, he didn't have to look at her with distress.

"It's not about buying farmland. The land doesn't need to be very fertile. The thatched huts on the east side of the village have long been dilapidated, but they are flat and spacious, and there is no need to build more houses for people to live in. Two rooms are enough. If I'm not around, my brother will bring the dog at night." You can keep it in the past."

Their house is a blue-tiled house, which is solid, and they have lived in it for many years, and they are used to it. Shen Xuanqing felt that the land for raising poultry and livestock could be bought right now, and there was no rush to build a new house.
