The Sweet Little Fulang

Shen Xuanqing has always had ideas, and Shen Yaoqing is not short-sighted. He said it was a family, but in fact it was mainly his two brothers who decided to buy the land after discussing it.

Lu Guan listened quietly by the side, he was timid and cautious and knew he was stupid, he would not intervene easily in such a big matter as buying land, and only smiled at Shen Xuanqing after the agreement was made to show that he had no objection.

"Tomorrow is free, let's go around the village first to see where the land is suitable." Shen Yaoqing said after drinking the water.

"Well, it's natural." Shen Xuanqing nodded.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. Before Lu Gu could get busy, Wei Lanxiang called Shen Yan to the kitchen to boil water. No one else said, it was right for Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing to soak their feet comfortably at night.

The next morning.

After a full night's sleep, Lu Gu opened his eyes, his consciousness was not very clear when he first woke up, and he realized that he was at home when he heard Shen Yan's voice outside.

Shen Xuanqing, who was sleeping outside the bed, also woke up, turned over and embraced him in her arms, with a hoarse voice: "Sleep a little more, and my mother will do the cooking and boiling water."

Lu Gu was hugged and couldn't get up, so he had to hum in a low voice. Under the warm blanket, he raised his hand hesitantly, but still put it on Shen Xuanqing's waist.

This shallow and careful response made the sleepy man open his eyes suddenly, and he couldn't help showing a bright smile, lowering his voice and laughing: "You hug me too?"

Lu Gu's ears were hot, his eyes were flustered and he didn't dare to look at the man's smiling face. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Xuanqing hugged him tighter, and the joy from the bottom of his heart made him follow his own heart. Boldly imitating Shen Xuanqing in hugging him, wrapping her forearms around the opponent's back, and lightly pressing her hands on that sturdy waist.

Because the two were so close, he felt that his face was hot and his ears were hot. If the news spread, he would not be able to be a man. How could a husband take the initiative to stick to a man.

But at this time, Shen Xuanqing's deep laughter became more and more proud and arrogant, as if it caught him in some small braid, making him extremely shy, and simply buried his face in that broad chest, not daring to raise his head again.

Laughing and hugging at the same time, Shen Xuanqing took the opportunity to take advantage of a lot, and the two didn't get up until after the quarrel.

The first thing Lu Gu did after breakfast was to go to the woodshed to watch the rabbits. Sure enough, he recovered. He seemed to be in good spirits. He also ate a lot of grass that was planted at night. However, the mountain road was far and bumpy, and most of the rabbits were still wilting. with.

Shen Xuanqing came in behind him and said, "Leave two pheasants and four rabbits for the family to eat."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded. It's hard for wild rabbits to distinguish between male and female in the cage. He pointed to the energetic ones and said, "Can they be used as breeding rabbits?"

Shen Xuanqing came over to take a look and said, "Yes."

An empty bamboo basket was placed on the firewood, Lu Gu took it over, Shen Xuanqing opened the bamboo cage, and caught the rabbits who were not frightened. He picked up four male rabbits and five female rabbits.

"Isn't there already six males and five females in the backyard, and then we can use these few to make up a total of ten pairs of breeding rabbits, so we don't have to bother to separate them for mating." Shen Xuanqing lifted the heavy bamboo basket and walked towards the backyard. explain.

When Lu Gu heard this, he said, "Ten pairs, four little rabbits per pair, that's forty."

He and Shen Xuanqing stayed on the mountain for a month, and what they ate was not counted. There were only 26 live rabbits pulled down the mountain, let alone five or six rabbits in a litter.

"Yes." Shen Xuanqing continued to smile, and said, "Raise these first in the past two months. There are only sixteen rabbit nests in the backyard, and four pairs need to be raised in cages. If you catch too many rabbits, there is no place for them to live in the house. We will wait until the place is selected." , Once the house is built, ten more pairs will be raised, making a total of twenty pairs, and there will be even more bastards.”

The more the two talked, the more delighted they became. Shen Yaoqing, who was shoveling chicken and duck excrement on the ground in the backyard, also heard it, and laughed and joked: "People say that those who cultivate the fields and have a lot of business are big and rich, so our family will be a big rabbit-raising household in the future."

He put down the shovel in his hand, and paired these breeding rabbits together with Shen Xuanqing.

Rabbits are very easy to conceive. The first five female rabbits are already pregnant, and some of them have obviously big bellies. Recently, the family has brought fresh grass to eat every day, and they have been taken care of very well.

It is true that keeping rabbits in cages is not as energetic as rabbits running around in the wild, but these things can burrow, and if they are wild and untamed, they don't know people. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to run away, so they can only be locked up.

"Going to town?" Shen Yaoqing asked after closing the rabbit nest.

Shen Xuanqing, who was bending down to look at the pregnant female rabbit, let go of her hands on her lap, straightened up and said, "Well, sell the rest."

He was really tall, and when he straightened up, the shadow just covered Lu Gu next to him.

Shen Yaoqing asked again: "Do you want to raise the sheep?"

"Let's keep it first, I'll see if I can catch the ewes." Shen Xuanqing took the empty bamboo basket from Lu Gu's hand.

"Sure, then you two go first, and then go to see the land in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, Shen Yaoqing picked up the shovel and continued to work.

The black-hoofed sheep tied in the corner is a little resigned to its fate. It has been tied up on the mountain for more than half a month, and now it is somewhat used to being fed grass, and it eats while lowering its head to make fat.

There are not many prey to sell today, seven pheasants and eleven hares, if they are carried in bamboo baskets, they are quite heavy, so Shen Xuanqing pulls on the cart. It's not too strenuous, and it's also called a rest for the shoulders and heads.

He was tidying up in the yard, and Lu Gu was counting his own eggs and duck eggs in the kitchen. He had eight pullets, and the two of them took the eggs they laid before going up the mountain. It happened that a month had passed, and there were only two eggs left. That's 180.

Raising autumn chicks is like this. It is winter when it is time to grow up. There are not many insects and earthworms to eat. They are smaller and lay eggs not as good as Wei Lanxiang's big hen. Otherwise, eight well-raised and strong hens will be raised in January. Maybe it can lay two hundred eggs.

However, saving so many eggs was unprecedented for Lu Gu, and there were 170 or eight eggs.

It was the season of laying eggs, and the seven ducklings also laid a lot, there were 150 three.

Shen Xuanqing quickly packed up the cart, came over and heard him counting in a low voice, smiled and stood by the side without disturbing.

"How to deal with it?" He asked Lu Gu after counting, without interfering too much.

"Yeah." Lu Gu thought for a moment and said, "Take a hundred and sell them, and there are 78 eggs left. This time we can bring some more when we go up the mountain. If we can't bring them all, we can leave them for my sister-in-law. There are 53 duck eggs left. Ask your mother to help you make salted eggs."

"It's so good. You can sell it for money and eat it to make up your body." Shen Xuanqing praised it without hesitation, and went outside to fetch a bamboo basket. It was used by Wei Lanxiang to sell eggs, and it was stuffed inside. Very thick straw.

Eggs are easy to break, so you have to be careful when putting them in bamboo baskets. If you can't finish one layer, put thick straw on top and put another layer.

Wei Lanxiang heard the news and came to help. She hadn't seen her second son and husband for a long time, so she couldn't help but talk a lot, and then she said that she had seen a lot of chickens and ducks last year, each with more than ten chickens and ducks. There are ten of them, which was unthinkable in the past, and then it was said that every chicken in the house lays eggs, but unfortunately the price is low.

"When I was the age of Shen Yan, it was a big deal to raise five hens in my family. I couldn't eat eggs a few times a year. Only rich people can afford it." She helped to remove the eggs from the bamboo basket. After laying the straw, she told Shen Xuanqing: "Don't forget to walk slowly and steadily."

"Mother, I know." Shen Xuanqing agreed, put all the bamboo baskets on the cart, and went out with Lu Gu.

They walked steadily all the way, the two of them came out late today, and the early market was almost over, but Shen Xuanqing was not in a hurry, the wheels of the car rolled slowly across the street, Lu Gu peddled along the street while walking: "Eggs, eggs are on sale."

His voice is neither too loud nor too soft, it sounds gentle and soft, so that people will not feel noisy and harsh, besides, he is cleanly dressed and good-looking, so people passing by on the street will inevitably pay more attention to it, but he really got a few pennies Business, ten or eight are slowly sold.

There are always more poor people than rich people. Women and husbands have to show their faces in order to earn money. The world is not peaceful, and good-looking people are easy to be targeted by bad guys. However, there is a tall man like Shen Xuanqing next to Lu Gu, whose eyes are flickering around. The ruffians and rascals dare not change their minds at all.

There are clouds today, covering the sun from time to time, so it’s not that hot. The two of them are selling while walking to the market. There are a lot of eggs and duck eggs. Today they will stay in the town for a while to see if they can be sold out.

Seeing someone walking across the street, Shen Xuanqing shouted after a few steps: "Brother Datang."

"Big brother." Lu Gu whispered to someone from the side.

Shen Yutao raised his head when he heard the words, and said with a polite smile on his face, "It was you two."

He is not as tall as Shen Xuanqing, he is a bit fatter and shorter, but his appearance is still decent, and he can be seen a little like Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing brothers.

"There are quite a lot of these things." Shen Yutao fixed his eyes on the cart. He often does things in the town, and even though he loves to get cheap, he knows how to restrain himself.

Shen Xuanqing laughed, picked up a moderately large pheasant and handed it over, saying: "Brother Datang was joking, there are so many of them, the first crop in spring is not easy to catch, the ones with cubs can't be shot, and the ones that are too small can't be hunted." , under a lot of restraint, I have been in the mountains for a month to kill so few, I don’t know how many copper coins I can sell today.”

"You, this..." Shen Yutao made a look of embarrassment, and didn't pick it up immediately, and said, "It's not easy for you to hunt, you'd better sell it."

"It's just one, the hall brother just takes it, and there will always be troubles for you in the future." Shen Xuanqing said with a smile.

Only then did Shen Yutao squeeze out a flattering smile, took the pheasant and agreed with all his mouth: "My family, if there is any trouble, don't trouble."

"Brother Hall is going to do something?" Shen Xuanqing asked.

"No, it's time to collect the bills on the East Street, and the shopkeeper is urging you." Shen Yutao nodded, there were so many people on the street, and it was not a place to talk here, so he said, "You guys are busy first, come to the shop another day Sit down and talk."

Shen Xuanqing nodded and said yes, said goodbye and moved on with Lu Gu.

Speaking of which, his generation should be of the jade-character generation. In villages with mixed surnames, there are few people with genealogies, and most of them are illiterate mud-legged people. If you choose a name carefully, you will follow one of the characters of the boss. Yu Shen Yuping followed Shen Yutao and Shen Yuxi.

As for Shen Yaoqing's name, it was calculated by Shen Shunfu at the time. The reason for this is that there was a bad fight with the eldest son and Grandpa Shen Yaoqing, and there was even a fight when the family was separated. I also came to him and said that the family was divided, but the name had to be whatever.

Shen Shunfu didn't agree, he was an old cow who couldn't pull his head back when he was stubborn.

Regardless of the past, just now Shen Yutao was staring at the fattest rabbit. Shen Xuanqing pretended not to see it. Rabbits are more expensive than pheasants, and being a favor to a pheasant is considered pretty good. Maintaining the surface will always be useful in the future When he was Shen Yutao.

"Eggs, big duck eggs." Lu Gu didn't know what was going on in his mind, he was yelling vigorously, his eyebrows and eyes were lively and innocent, making people feel happy just looking at them.
