The Sweet Little Fulang

Lu Gu sat and watched the rain for a while, never thought that it was getting worse, the rain was pouring down the eaves, and the sound was also loud, like a white waterfall in the mountains, he and Wei Lanxiang moved the stool under their buttocks to the inside Move, so as not to splash wet shoes and trousers.

Wei Lanxiang glanced at the dark sky outside, clicked her tongue and said, "This heavy white rain is really not small."

There is a small open space between the main room and the front yard door. Vegetables are planted in the big yard behind, and only a few flowers are planted in the small front yard. Whether the flowers on the branches or the broken vines climbing on the pergola, they were all beaten. Scattered, splashed in muddy water very messy.

The so-called broken vine flower is just a local name, the small tender red flowers that bloom are hidden in the green thin vines and vine leaves, and dots of red protrude from the greenery, looking at the fine pieces, that's what the country people call it.

This flower is unassuming, small and exquisite, and the women and husbands in the village who love to be more particular will plant a few, which is a new idea in the hot summer.

The yellow and red petals were damaged by the rain and stained with muddy water. The rain became heavier and soon gathered into a stream. The muddy petals floated on the water and then flowed to the water outlet. They take it off.

Under the rain curtain, Lu Gu saw someone running past the door, in this short while, he saw a dozen or so people, all of them were working in the fields.

The main room is two steps higher than the front and back yards. Shen Xuanqing specially told him when he built the house that he usually walks up two more steps when he comes in, so he won't be afraid of rainwater pouring into the house when it rains.

Seeing that the flowering branches were bent by the rain, Wei Lanxiang turned her head to look at the backyard, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the vegetable field. Let's go over and have a look later. If any of them come out, they have to be planted back."

Lu Gu said "hmm", worrying about Shen Xuanqing who was on the way, the rain was too heavy, I wonder if the two of them have found a shelter from the rain.

Speaking of which, Wei Lanxiang also drank a little wine at noon for dinner. Hearing the sound of the rain, it seemed that it couldn't stop for a while, so he simply said: "There is nothing to do around here. There are mattresses here. Why don't you rest for a while. Sleep for a quarter of an hour, and watch it when you wake up."

So the two went into the house and lay on the bed together, it was cool with the bamboo mat, and each of them covered his stomach with a small quilt.

The four dogs outside also found a dry place to lie down, and Da Hui rested his head on his front paws, his eyes were tightly closed, but his ears trembled from time to time.

When flies landed on them from time to time, the dog's stomach would tremble or twitch, but after getting used to it, it would shake its tail and ignore it.

The heavy rain lasted for about three quarters of an hour, which is usually the case with heavy white rain in summer, and it won't last long.

Lu Gu woke up just now, yawned and lay on the bed without moving, afraid of disturbing Wei Lanxiang next to him, the rain was not so hot, and he slept quite comfortably this time, relieved his fatigue.

As the sound of the rain outside lessened, Wei Lanxiang snored lightly, louder than before, and even she woke up. She wiped her eyes with her hand and asked, "Has the rain stopped?"

"Stop it mother." Lu Gu said and sat up, folded the thin quilt and put it beside him.

They didn't close the courtyard door when they slept because of the heavy rain. There are so many dogs at home, so there is no need to worry.

The flower branches and vines in the front yard were scattered and messy, but these were not as important as the vegetable fields in the backyard. The sky cleared and the rain stopped completely. The two of them went to the backyard to look at the vegetable fields first.

The soil in the vegetable field that had been watered in the morning was damp. After such a heavy rain, many vegetables were wilted, and the roots were shallowly exposed, and even the whole vegetable was washed out.

Taking advantage of the muddy water and the fact that the sun was not too bright at the moment, Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang planted vegetables in the vegetable field with a small shovel, making mud with their feet and hands.

"Oh, it's a pity to beat this seedling." Wei Lanxiang sighed while touching the tender seedling that had been smashed by the rain.

The land in the house is large and wide, and the country people want to grow things when they see the open space, otherwise, they feel that it is a pity that the land is empty.

There are a lot of poultry and livestock here, and there is a lot of manure. The green medicine leaves must be collected from the mountains, or they have to be bought by others. You can simply plant a piece yourself, dig it out after it grows tall, and set it on fire for two or three days in the sun to repel flies. The smell of worms is a good thing.

"This stuff is so easy to grow. I haven't finished planting a pack of seeds at home. After this crop grows taller, I dig it up, and I can plant another crop." Lu Gu comforted her.

It can only be like this, Wei Lanxiang nodded and stopped sighing.

The poultry and livestock huddled in their nests, and the newly built nests were strong and reliable in keeping out the wind and rain, and most of them were not frightened by getting wet.

After it rained, the ground was muddy and it was not easy to walk on. After planting vegetables and feeding livestock, Lu Gu went to the main room after he finished his work. He held the window sill and raised his feet to scrape the thick layer of wet mud on the soles of his shoes with a wooden stick.

"Guzi, the tea is ready." Wei Lanxiang went in ahead of him, and poured him a bowl of tea, without the airs and rules of a mother-in-law.

"Understood, mother." Lu Gu agreed, scraped off the soles of his shoes and washed off the dirt on his hands before going over.

During the break, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing came in from the outside.

"This journey is really bumpy." Shen Yaoqing sighed: "We hurried, and went to the Min's house in Laowang Village to avoid the rain before the heavy rain. It was the family that had a relationship with Uncle Lin's house. Sit at home for a while."

As they talked, they scraped off the wet mud on the soles of their shoes in the courtyard before entering the main room.

Wei Lanxiang poured tea for them, and Lu Gu scooped water into the wooden basin for them to wash their hands.

Shen Xuanqing put down the empty basket, knelt down and washed his hands, and said: "The meat is all sent, and the uncle also told mother that you should go back and have a look. Now Chengzhi's article is very good, and the writing is also very good."

Wei Chengzhi is Wei Lanxiang's nephew, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing's uncle and cousin. He has always been filial to her aunt, but he has a lot of schoolwork, which has been less in the past two years.

Sure enough, Wei Lanxiang smiled happily: "Is that true?"

"No, I went to his desk to read it, and I will never make a mistake in being a scholar in the future." Shen Yaoqing stood up and wiped his hands.

"Then I will definitely go and have a look some other day." Wei Lanxiang said happily.

Shen Yaoqing threw the cloth towel to Shen Xuanqing, and said: "As soon as I entered the door, my mother-in-law said that the mold of the safe lock has been selected, and I advised her not to worry, it hasn't happened yet, and it will definitely be delivered by the full moon. Baby hang up."

They pay attention to the safety silver lock hanging around the baby's neck when the baby is full moon. The Ji family is not a stingy person. I picked a good gold and silver shop to cast and strike, but didn't buy ready-made ones.

Lu Gu listened to their conversation without interrupting, and after Shen Xuanqing washed and dried his hands, he handed him the tea bowl, and brought a bench over for him to sit down and rest.

Shen Xuanqing took a sip of tea, and looked up at Lu Gu's expression.

After breaking off contact with the Lu family, there will be no safety locks from the grandparents' house when there are children in the future, but he has already figured it out.

As far as Lu Gu was concerned, he had never counted on Du Hehua and Lu Daxiang for the safety lock. Those two held it against him, and they would definitely not pay for it, so there was no disturbance in his heart, and he listened to his family as usual without interfering. Sit quietly.

After noticing Shen Xuanqing's gaze, he didn't know anything, he just looked over ignorantly, pursing his lips and showing a very shallow smile.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing's eyes slightly bent, and she put aside the trivial worries in her heart.

The rain dissipated the summer heat, and it was really cool. Even though the ground was wet and muddy, the sky was fine and it was still early before the sun set. Many people still went to the fields to pull weeds and work. Besides, the paddy fields already had water. Don't be afraid to get your feet dirty.

Wei Lanxiang and her two sons, Xie Yixie, also went down to the field, and went to pull the grass in the dry land today.

Lu Gu took Guai Zai to the house with a basket of vegetables, and Dahui and the others stayed here to watch the house.

The vegetables in the basket were all washed out by the rain, and the big ones didn't fall back, so they were fried for dinner. He had to go back and tell Shen Yan to make this for dinner.

When passing by the door of Lin Jinhu's house, he saw a big yellow dog with a swollen belly. Before that, Shen Xuanqing had agreed with Uncle Jinhu that they would take two of the puppies back home after they left.

Although it is said that there is no money to hold the pups, but in order to pick two dogs with the best appearance, Shen Xuanqing brought some meat scraps and bones to the big yellow dog when the pig was slaughtered.

Big Yellow Dog and Guaizai knew each other, and they went out to sniff each other, but Guaizai didn't stay much, and ran back after Lu Gu's footsteps.

It was running in the mud, its feet and legs were wet, and its hair was still stained with muddy water. It looked pretty ugly. When Ji Qiuyue saw it, she said, "It will be dried tomorrow. When the sun is good, I will wash it for you. Look at it." It's so shabby it doesn't matter at all."

A good dog is always smooth and clean. Lu Gu looked back and saw that it was really like this, so he nodded in agreement and said, "It's time to wash it."

However, although Ji Qiuyue disliked Guaizi, she still rubbed the dog's head after it approached. Ever since she was pregnant, Guaizi has behaved well in front of her, not as noisy as before.

After explaining to Shen Yan about the cooking, Lu Gu went down to the ground, and asked the boy to stay at home before leaving, otherwise he would get dirtier.

When I went to the paddy field before, Guaizi was really skinny, he jumped into the paddy field, his front legs sank into it and whined, but it was Shen Xuanqing who pulled him out, he flung his fur when he came out of the paddy field, his whole body was covered The shaking water splashed randomly, splashing Shen Xuanqing's head and face, so angry that he picked up the shoes on the field ridge and slapped the boy's buttocks several times.

-

Shen Xuanqing is not in a hurry to go up the mountain now, and has lived at home for several days. The days pass quickly, and it is July in the blink of an eye, which is the hot time.

Five female rabbits gave birth, and the ten pairs of Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing who were caught later said they were definitely pregnant. Rabbits are easy to conceive, and they can basically be conceived in one go.

The rabbit nest is lined with clean wheat straw, and the grass and water fed to the female rabbits are the freshest and cleanest.

In just three days, five female rabbits gave birth one after another. Although the weather was hot, luck was good this time, and the whole family cared about it. The grass was tender and the water was changed frequently. Rabbit manure was often picked up, and there were few flies. After a while, only two of the 24 rabbits that were planted died, and 22 survived, which is more than the previous batch of rabbits.

The bastard is really small, so he needs to take care of him later.

There are only 72 rabbit nests, but they still have the cages where they used to raise rabbits. When the rabbits grow up and are weaned, they can be raised separately to save them from fighting and biting.

riverside.

The calf was soaking in the river to drink water, and Lu Gu was carrying a bamboo basket to beat rabbit grass.

In the past, he only knew that cows are gentle and loyal. He never thought that calves are just like dogs, they love to play. Sometimes when he was busy in the yard, the calf would moo even though it had water and grass. It took a long time for him to know, It was calling him to play in the past, or he wanted to go out.

Wei Lanxiang kept ducks not far away, and also carried a basket to weed grass. Just like people, pregnant female rabbits must eat more, and weeding grass every day is an important thing.

Country people always have endless work to do, they are busy but down-to-earth.
