The Sweet Little Fulang

The heat faded in the evening, the orange-red sunset quickly fell, and the cool breeze blew, Lu Gu wiped his hands and put a towel on the wooden frame and went back to his room. He had already cleaned up the pot and stove, and Shen Yan was boiling bath water inside.

Shen Xuanqing was sitting in front of the table, he had already poured out the copper coins from several money bags, a large pile was spread on the table, and there were still a lot of broken silver.

This is the money for selling mutton today, as soon as Lu Gu entered the room, his eyes fell on the pile of money, his eyes were bright.I don't know when it started, but every time they came back after selling something, they would count the money together, and it has become a habit.

"The hemp rope is cut, and it's all worn into the usual big money, and I'll go back to the town and exchange it for whole silver." Shen Xuanqing said with a smile.

"Yeah." Lu Gu pulled out the chair and sat down.

They first picked up the scattered silver from the pile of copper coins and put them on the table to form a small pile. The copper coins collided and rattled, and the sound was more pleasant than the crisp chirping of birds in the early morning.

Shen Xuanqing counted in his heart while wearing the money in silence, while Lu Gu sat opposite and counted in a low voice, as long as he could hear it himself, so as not to disturb Shen Xuanqing.

Counting the copper coins, Lu Gu had a completely uncontrollable smile on his face.

After the three pennies were threaded, Shen Xuanqing saw that there were not so many copper coins on the table, and after threading them, he raised his head and said, "There are still thirty coins left."

"I'll get it." Lu Gu got up and went to the bed, and took out a money bag from under the pillow, which they usually used to spend.

After replenishing thirty copper plates, the consistent money will be worn.

There are four pennies in total, each penny is one thousand taels of silver, and the scattered silver at the table adds up to two taels. Shen Xuanqing put down the pennies in his hand and said with a smile: "It's not bad today, it's thirty pennies short. The money is six taels of silver, and since it has been made up, it is considered that we have earned six taels."

Lu Gu naturally agreed, and the smile on his face has not been broken since the time of counting the money. He asked: "These broken silver should be converted into whole silver?"

"No need." Shen Xuanqing said: "Keep the broken silver for normal use, two taels is enough to spend a long time, just exchange the four taels of money, and then the four taels of silver will be accumulated and can't move."

"Okay." Lu Gu nodded, and put the broken silver into a small purse. This small purse is placed outside, no matter who they use, they can get it.

Earning money is an extremely happy thing. Now Shen Xuanqing goes to the mountain once a month, but he can earn five or six taels a time, which is really good.

The two of them took a big money bag together to put the money, Lu Gu said: "There are not many wild bath beads at home, I want to go up the mountain to pick them tomorrow, if I pick more, maybe I can sell them."

"Okay, I'll be with you tomorrow." Shen Xuanqing agreed.

The green hills stretch far and wide, and the wild bath bead trees in the front mountain are often picked by villagers. They are small in size. Since Lu Gu went down the mountain and lived at home, every time he went to pick wild bath beads, he would take his dog to search deeper. Know the location of several wild bath bead trees.

After collecting the money, Shen Xuanqing moved the table to the wall, and moved out the bathtub in the corner of the room. After a tiring day, killing sheep and rushing on the road, it can be said that he was sweating all over, so he naturally had to take a bath.

After the hot weather, I have to take a bath every other day or two, and the bathtub has never been moved out of the house.

The water is good, and every family carries it from the river, but the firewood is different. Even if it can be picked up in the mountains, many people will use it sparingly. Their family takes a bath so diligently, which is rare in the nearby villages. up.

Lu Gu seldom had the opportunity to take a bath in the Lu family before, fearing that people would say it was dirty, he could only chew poplar twigs to clean his teeth and wash his face carefully with river water.

Now that I bathe frequently, my body is less dirty, if Shen Xuanqing is in the room when I take a bath, I will definitely stare at his white back and shoulders for a long time.

Lu Gu looked out the window and saw the clay stove and clay pots boiling water in the courtyard, and said, "The clay pot is boiling, do you want to wash your hair first?"

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing nodded.

Both the wooden basin and the wooden frame were in the yard. When he went out, he heard Shen Yan in the kitchen shouting that the bath water was boiling, whoever scooped up the water first.

Shen Xuanqing didn't hear Wei Lanxiang's response, so she said, "Then you take a bath in the room first, and I'll wash your hair first."

"Yeah." Lu Gu also went out to fetch water.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, the water in the bathtub was filled, and Lu Gu quickly soaked in it.

The comfort of the hot water enveloping his whole body made him relax unconsciously. The fatigue all over his body in the past two days was relieved, and he leaned against the wall of the barrel to rest for a while.

After taking a shower, it was Shen Xuanqing's turn to enter the room, and he went out to scoop up the water in the clay pot and washed his hair.

The clean comfort of taking a shower is pleasant, and it is even more pleasant to lie down after the hair is dry.The very faint fragrance of wild bath beads fills the nostrils. It cools down at night, and it is very comfortable to sleep on the cool bamboo mat.

Tonight was okay, it wasn't that hot, Lu Gu turned to the side, and he was in Shen Xuanqing's arms.He was not used to the porcelain pillow he bought before, so he gave it to Shen Xuanqing, and he changed it back to a soft pillow stuffed with rushes.

Compared with the hot sweat during the day, Shen Xuanqing smelled very good at this moment. He secretly sniffed twice, and when he realized what he was thinking, his ears were slightly red, and he didn't dare to say it. He only thought quietly in his heart. .

Shen Xuanqing embraced the person in her arms, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, I will stop by Uncle Jin Hu's house to see the puppies. I don't know if they have gained weight. I will pick two and decide to bring them back in two or three months so that they can be raised."

Most people in the village give their dogs food leftovers, and the big yellow dog in Lin Jinhu’s family is the same, but puppies need to be fed, so it’s not easy to feed them if they are brought back too early. , can still grow well.

Lu Gu murmured, when talking about puppies, he thought of the good boy when he was a child, he was chubby and fat, even though he was a layman, it was obvious that the family in Niujiazhuang was good at raising dogs, of course he I also know that this is likely to be because wolves and green mastiffs are valuable.

He was a little preoccupied and didn't notice Shen Xuanqing sniffing and kissing in his hair.

Her nose is full of Fulang's fragrant and soft smell. Recently, she has restrained herself from being busy with intercourse, but today she didn't do much work during the day, and she ate meat and drank alcohol at noon.

The bed board made a soft sound, Lu Gu tightly closed his mouth and did not dare to make a sound.

-

Early in the morning, Lu Gu herded cattle and ducks by the river.

The calf does not need to be led, it grazes and drinks by the river by itself, and rolls in the mud flat by the river, with a lot of mud on its body.

In summer, the gadfly is the most powerful. A bite can make the cow shiver with pain, and it will be better if it is wrapped in mud.

The weather is hot now, and there are more gadflies than before, and they still like to haunt the riverside and paddy fields at noon. If the cows are not herding, it will be changed to early in the morning, and the calves will be taken back when they have eaten and drunk outside at noon.

Taking advantage of the coolness, Lu Gu didn't care about the calf, and squatted by the river to touch the snails so that he could smash them up and feed them to the chickens.

Dahui was sniffing around not far away, and the boy was running wildly and jumping, and sometimes he ran to poke his head with the calf, very lively.

It ran over again, rubbing and arching its head on Lu Gu's back. Lu Gu pushed the dog's head away behind him forcefully with his backhand. The boy was always running around in the village. His clothes were just changed today, and he was The new clothes I made this year have only been worn twice, so it won’t be good if they get dirty. He also said in his mouth: "Don't rub me, go play by yourself."

Unexpectedly, the more you push the boy, the more vigorous he becomes, thinking that he is playing with it, he insists on competing with Lu Gu's hand.

"It's still light when I was young." Lu Gu couldn't do anything with it, and let it rub against his back after muttering. Speaking of which, the day before yesterday I went to Uncle Jin Hu's house to see the puppies, and this time the big yellow dog only gave birth to four, enough milk They are divided, no need to compete for food, and they are all fed well.

The boy was really crazy by himself, he probably felt bored after he didn't push it with his hands, and when he heard the calf mooing, he ran over with one ear.

Lu Gu squatted by the river while touching the snails and watching the ducks. When Wei Lanxiang came to hunt rabbit grass with a bamboo basket, he picked up the fish basket and went back to feed the chickens. Unlike ducks, the snails are smashed for chickens. It's open.

When he came in through the back door, he saw Shen Xuanqing tidying up the cowshed, so he turned around and said, "Is my back dirty? Just now, my good boy rubbed his head, and the calf rolled in the mud, and it got head-to-head with the calf. "

Shen Xuanqing stopped holding the shovel, looked carefully at the opening: "There is nothing, it is clean."

So good, Lu Gu went to feed the chickens without worry.

There is so much work to be done at home, and Shen Xuanqing just got money from selling sheep a few days ago, so Shen Xuanqing didn't go up the mountain again, besides, Ji Qiuyue's delivery date is coming, it will be at the beginning of August, and two days later it will be the first day of August, her own nephew The son is going to be born, but don't wait.

Shen Yaoqing was carrying a bucket to water the vegetable field, and he picked up the wooden bucket and held the bottom of the bucket to dump it. After the last bit of water flowed down, he straightened up and rested on the spot. During this rest, he thought about what was about to happen, and his eyes inevitably drifted away , I was in a daze when I saw it.

Because Ji Qiuyue likes to eat sour food, everyone in the village said he was a big fat boy, but who knew before he was born, he was really busy and nervous these days.

As soon as Lu Gu, who was smashing the green snail with a stone, turned his head, he saw him in a daze, his brows and eyes slightly bent, brother Daqing always does this these days.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the third day of August.

This afternoon, the sky was cloudy and covered the sun, so it would be cooler. Lu Gu didn't eat much for lunch. When he woke up from a nap, he found that the sky was a bit cloudy. He felt hungry, so he went to the kitchen to eat half a steamed bun.

As soon as he took a bite, Shen Yaoqing rushed out of the room in a hurry, screaming, and ran into Wei Lanxiang's room incoherently shouting: "Mother! Mother! Come on, the amniotic fluid is broken, it's broken."

"Hurry up and ask Mrs. Wen! Hurry up!" Wei Lanxiang's voice was also raised.

But for a moment, Lu Gu was so shocked that he almost threw away half of the steamed bun in his hand, and wanted to go to the room to see Ji Qiuyue, but Shen Yaoqing slapped his thigh at the door of Wei Lanxiang's room, and after realizing it, he turned and ran outside. He was too nervous and anxious, staggered when going down the steps of the main room, lost one of his shoes while running, bent down to pick it up, put it on his foot, and ran out again.

Shen Xuanqing got up late, but when she heard the movement outside, she sat up suddenly from the bed.

Wei Lanxiang didn't even care about her hair, and hurried into the room with Lu Gu and Shen Yan. Ji Qiuyue was sitting by the bed, her trousers and the floor were wet, Xu Shi also felt nervous, her face was a little pale, but the amniotic fluid just broke Yes, my stomach doesn't hurt.

"What's the matter?" Wei Lanxiang hurriedly asked, and said to Lu Gu in a hurry: "Go quickly, boil some hot water, it will be useful when Mrs. Wen comes."

Shen Xuanqing stood at the door of the room and did not come in. Hearing this, she said, "I'll go burn it."

There was nothing else he could do to help, but boiling water was always possible.

"Burn more, and use the big clay pot." Wei Lanxiang shouted, then turned to Lu Gu and said: "Then you go get the scissors, put the water in to boil and scald it."

Lu Gu hastily agreed, and went to the room to find the scissors.

"Go, bring out a few more cloth towels." Wei Lanxiang ordered Shen Yan again.

The whole family was in a hurry, but fortunately, under the orders of Wei Lanxiang's envoy, they were not too disturbed despite their haste.
