The Sweet Little Fulang

In Thrushcross Alley, there are children playing and playing in it. Four or five-year-old dolls are running around wrapped in red bellybands, and those who are too hot even have their shoes kicked off and run around with bare feet.

The woman who looked after the child chatted with the mother-in-law in front of the door, shouting from time to time not to let go far, and to pick up the shoes so as not to lose them.

Lu Gu went into the alley, and took out several fans while chatting, because Shen Xuanqing was really tall and handsome, it was hard to forget once seeing him, and his appearance was not bad, the maid recognized him as The handsome husband who came to sell handkerchiefs last time.

According to what Shen Xuanqing said, Lu Gu raised the price to [-] Wen, but when he spoke, he was still a little apprehensive, for fear that people would not buy it.

After a while of shouting and hawking, the people staying at home came out to join in the fun when they had nothing to do, and gradually there were more and more people. He took out all the fans from the basket. People and husbands get together.

Small rich people have to bargain when they buy things. People around you talk to each other. Lu Gu is used to small business, so he can handle it.

Because the fans are all the same size, only the embroidered patterns are different, there are many people bargaining for the price. Finally, he thought about it and said that each fan is 37 Wen, and they can choose by themselves.

As soon as they gave in to Sanwen, such cheap embroidered fans were sold out quickly.

The mother-in-law couldn't afford it, so I just sat around and watched it for a while, every fan was embroidered colorfully, it was an eye-addiction.

There was a woman who bought three at once, and she was very happy when she paid for it. She has two daughters who have not left the court. Yesterday, she was still complaining that the old fan was not fresh, and she wanted to be ridiculed when she took it out. She sold the fan at home. My mother-in-law hasn't sent someone to call yet, so it's all right now, don't have to wait, buy two cheap and beautiful new fans to make the daughters happy, and she can use one herself.

Sure enough, it was still sold here. After walking out of the Thrushcross Alley, Lu Gu wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. The money bag was full of copper coins. In summer, the clothes were thin and stuffed into his bosom. His eyes were full of joy.

Fortunately, Shen Xuanqing was by his side, otherwise others would know that his arms were full of money at a glance.

This is the first time he came out to sell fans. The first one did not dare to ask for the price, so he only sold 35 Wen, and the remaining 37 fans were sold for 440 Wen. I paid 140 for two papers, which is more than a penny.

Turning around, he saw that Shen Xuanqing was also wiping sweat, their bamboo tubes were empty, and Lu Gu's arms jingled, he looked down and saw that the protruding belly was too conspicuous, so he embarrassedly took out the money bag and put it in the bamboo basket , Cover it with a handkerchief, and because Shen Xuanqing is on his left, he changed his left hand to carry the bamboo basket, so as to prevent thieves.

"Are you thirsty?" He raised his head and asked proactively.

Shen Xuanqing nodded and said: "I'm thirsty, wait for me to ask for some water."

But Lu Gu said: "Why don't you go make a tube of green plum brew, and I'll pay for it."

Shen Xuanqing was obviously a little surprised, she turned her head to see that her husband was so hot that his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were shining, dazzling.He bent his starry eyes with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Have you made money?"

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded heavily, and couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore, and said, "I'm rich, and I can buy you food and drink."

It was obviously a simple sentence, but Lu Gu said it so seriously, so serious that his eyes were almost innocent and childish, Shen Xuanqing felt a warm current rushing through his heart.

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, you pay for the food and drink today."

The weather is hot, so the cold soup is selling well, and there are many people in front of the green plum brewing stall.

After the people in front walked away, Lu Gu took a step forward, handed the bamboo tube to the stall owner, and said, "Here's a tube soaked in well water."

"Okay." The stall owner said with quick hands and feet while drinking, "It's [-] cents for you."

The well water is cold, and the altar soaked in the well water tastes more refreshing than the other altar, so it can be worth two dollars.

Just now when the person in front bought it, Lu Gu heard the price and it was the same, so he said nothing, counted fifteen copper coins and handed it to the stall owner.

"It's full, take a sip before putting on the lid." The stall owner smiled and handed over the bamboo tube.

The most important thing in the catering business is the truth. These are all things that can be seen with the eyes. If you drink well this time, you will come again next time.

Lu Gu took it carefully, for fear of spilling it, the bamboo tube was really full of greengage stuffed fruit, almost flush with the mouth of the bamboo.

He took a sip, it was cold and sour and sweet, it was really good, so he quickly handed it to Shen Xuanqing.

"Not bad." Shen Xuanqing nodded in praise after tasting it.

The Wan fans were sold out, so the two of them went to the pharmacy in front first.

There are other drinks on the side of the road, such as ebony soup, and fragrant osmanthus drinks. The drinks made of such flowers are called fragrant drinks. When passing by, I really smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, but the price is a bit expensive, and they have already sold them. There is no bamboo tube to hold green plum stuffing.

After buying something to drink, Lu Gu took the remaining half of the can and drank a couple of sips, put the lid on and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

He was so serious that Shen Xuanqing chuckled, and replied: "Forget it, it's too hot and I don't have an appetite, so I'd better go back and eat some light dishes."

That's right, Lu Gu himself didn't have much appetite, so he gave up.

There were quite a lot of people in the pharmacy. Shen Xuanqing asked the drug boy to weigh half a catty of lotus seeds. They don’t have this stuff here. It’s quite expensive from the south, so I didn’t buy more. I often drink mung bean soup at home. Just try it out.

Shen Xuanqing put the paper bag into Lu Gu's bamboo basket, which will be filled with porcelain pillows later.

The sun was covered by clouds, and many people on the street breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally a bit shady.

When they arrived at the pottery shop, the clerk showed them several porcelain pillows. In the end, Shen Xuanqing chose one with a folded branch pattern and one with a honeysuckle pattern. They were both simple patterns. Pour cold water to keep it cool, and pour hot water to keep it warm in winter.

Speaking of which, the poor in the countryside have no money or food, and they can't even afford soft pillows made of old cloth and rags. They often put stones under their heads, which is cool in summer.

Lu Gu gently tapped the folded branch pattern porcelain pillow with his knuckles, and it was obvious that it was hollow. He smiled, and put the porcelain pillow carefully into the bamboo basket with Shen Xuanqing, and the buddy brought straw for the bedding , to prevent the two porcelain pillows from colliding.

It doesn't matter whether this thing is expensive or cheap, because the style and pattern are the most common, forty dollars a piece.

Shen Shi was about to pass, and it was obviously a bit cooler. On the way back, I walked slowly, afraid of bumping into the porcelain pillow.

Shen Xuanqing said as she walked, "You will use one when you go back, and mother will use one."

Lu Gu turned to look at him, he smiled and said: "I'm not hot, besides, elder brother also bought Mrs. Bamboo back home, it will definitely be cool to hold."

"That's good." Lu Gu didn't push back too much, and said, "But if you are too hot, let's change pillows."

Shen Xuanqing smiled even more, and nodded in agreement.

After arriving home, he quickly drank two bowls of warm water, Lu Gu wiped the water on his lips, and seeing Wei Lanxiang playing with the porcelain pillow, he also felt itchy, so he went back to his room to try it.

Wei Lanxiang chose a porcelain pillow with a honeysuckle pattern, his one had a broken branch pattern, and it felt cold and hard on the pillow, so it was really cool.

It's just that Lu Gu is used to sleeping on soft pillows these years, and this porcelain pillow is not used to it for a while, it is very hard, Shen Xuanqing, who came in to watch him play with new gadgets, let him sleep on it for a few more days, maybe he will get used to it.

Mrs. Bamboo has already bought it back, and Shen Yaoqing bought four of them, and now the family of six will have all of them, and it will be much cooler to sleep with them in their arms.

Lu Gu fiddled with the porcelain pillow for a while, then went to hug Mrs. Bamboo on the bed. There was a bamboo mat under his body, and the porcelain pillow on which he lay on his head. He was so happy and at ease in his heart that he lived through the day.

Seeing the coolness outside, Wei Lanxiang put on old shoes and told Shen Yan that he was going to pull weeds in the field, and he and Shen Xuanqing followed after hearing it.

After arriving in the field, Shen Yaoqing, who was busy in the new house, had already entered the field.

-

The 22 little rabbits are all alive, half a month later, and their eyes are about to open.

It's dog days and the heat is still hot. Looking back, the spring day seems so short. Lu Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples. He used to wash his handkerchief once a day, but now he washes two a day.

He shoveled all the rabbit dung into the dung basket, carried the dung basket and shovel over, dumped it on the dung pile a little far away, and shoveled some dry soil to cover it, so as not to attract too many flies.

It has been shoveled in the morning, and there is not much rabbit droppings from the rabbit nest.

There is nothing else to do after finishing the work, Wei Lanxiang has not come back after releasing the ducks, and the calf is also by the river, so Dabai followed her out, so don't worry too much.

He washed his hands and poured himself a bowl of warm water to drink, sat down and rested for a while.

Shen Xuanqing went into the mountains two days ago, saying that she wanted to hunt deer or sheep, and she didn't know when she would come back.

Recently, there are too many kinds of work at home. Once Shen Xuanqing leaves, only he, Wei Lanxiang, and Shen Yaoqing are busy. Recently, Shen Yan is cooking at home, and she will accompany Ji Qiuyue by the way. She is a month old. She is about to give birth in half a month, and dare not leave her.

Wei Lanxiang has already found Wen Po, a well-known midwife in Wangli Village. The price she invites is naturally more expensive, and the tea and dinner are better, but most of the children she picks up are smooth and easy. Have some skills.

This is the first child in their family, and the family values ​​it very much, no matter how much money they spend.

But as the month is approaching, Ji Qiuyue is still doing well. The child in her stomach is sometimes tormenting, and her body is heavy, eating, drinking, sleeping, and all kinds of things are disturbing. Instead, it was Shen Yaoqing.

It was okay when I was working, as soon as I went back, when I saw Ji Qiuyue walking, I quickly stepped forward to help him, and kept muttering that I should be more careful, because people tend to be irritable in hot weather, so Ji Qiuyue called him annoying and didn't want to talk too much. listen.

Shen Yaoqing didn't want to be seen, so he had to pace around the yard nervously and anxiously, dragging his neck and looking into the room from the window. Ji Qiuyue rolled his eyes at him and called him into the room as soon as his heart softened.

Once he was pacing with his hands behind his back, even Wei Lanxiang felt his heart throbbing, and in the end he couldn't take it anymore, so he was sent to work in the field, sleep in the new house at noon, and was not allowed to come back until dark in the afternoon, so as not to cause trouble The mind of the whole family.

In fact, it's good to be busy, at least you don't have to think about having a baby, Shen Yaoqing just immerses himself in the field work, it's not the same today.

After Lu Gu had a rest, he closed the courtyard door and carried a tea basket to the field to deliver water to him. He had delivered water three times this morning. It was so hot that he couldn't drink more water.

Day after day of work without a break, for country people, work is like eating, and they feel panic in their hands and hearts if they don’t do anything.

In the afternoon, Lu Gu was feeding Dabai at the new house, when suddenly he heard a dog barking outside, it was the sound of a boy, and it was very close, Dabai couldn't care less about eating, so he barked and ran out.
