The Sweet Little Fulang

Compared with the mountains, the home is lively and comfortable. Before Lu Gu woke up in the morning, he heard the rooster crowing. He didn’t sleep until midnight last night. In addition, the bed was so warm that he didn’t want to get up. He closed his eyes and felt the heat source next to him. .

Shen Xuanqing didn't refuse the husband who threw himself into his arms, and he also didn't open his eyes. After hugging him, he said in a low voice: "Sleep a little longer."

The chicken and duck houses in the backyard are far away. When it gets cold, except for the rooster crowing, most of the other poultry are still huddled in their nests.

People in the country get up early, and there are no neighbors next to the new house, so they can't hear the movement of each house, but not long after, there is a knock on the courtyard door, and the sound is Wei Lanxiang.

The dog sleeping on the sack heard that it was an acquaintance, so it was lazy and didn't move. Only the boy barked lowly, and then wagged his tail, but it also didn't get up.

Lu Gu opened his eyes, there were no candles in the room, the light was not good, only a little dim light came through the window paper.

"Don't get up, I'll open the door." Shen Xuanqing sat up, quickly put on her clothes, and rubbed her face when she went out.

Lu Gu turned over and lay on his side on the bed, hugging the quilt in his arms, and his mind fell into a daze. After waking up for a while, he realized that it was time to feed the cows. Wei Lanxiang and Shen Xuanqing's voices came from outside, and they heard footsteps. Finally, he raised his upper body and called out to the outside.

"Hey." Wei Lanxiang agreed, she didn't enter the door, but yelled into the room: "You two sleep, I will feed the cows and sheep, don't worry about getting up."

In the past, every time they went down the mountain to catch the road, Wei Lanxiang would tell them to take a rest, because they didn't have to do a lot of work at home, people would get used to it, plus there was Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu felt sorry for him for getting up late. Things are not as scary as they used to be.

Among other things, Wei Lanxiang has never had many family laws and rules for his daughter-in-law and husband-in-law, so naturally he didn't care about Lu Gu not getting up to meet her, but instead let him and Shen Xuanqing sleep for a while.

Not only the two of them, Shen Yaoqing and Shen Yan also didn't get up this morning. Feeding the cows was originally Shen Yaoqing's job, but Wei Lanxiang felt sorry for her son, so she came by herself.

Shen Xuanqing was very calm, she was not polite to her own mother, she just fed the grass, the grass was basically laid the day before, and there was no heavy work, so she went back to her room to rest without his help.

He went to bed, with Lu Gu under the quilt, it was still warm.

The cattle pen and the sheep pen in the backyard are far away, so it is difficult to hear the movement.

Lu Gu couldn't sleep anymore, he lay down for a while and wanted to sit up.

Sensing his movements, Shen Xuanqing opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Sleep?"

"No." Lu Gu stretched out his hand to reach for his clothes. He was driving the doe with Shen Yan with a basket yesterday. Shen Xuanqing did the most work in pulling and pushing the cart, so he said, "You sleep on yours, and I'll light the clay stove." Boil water."

After speaking, he remembered the injury on Shen Xuanqing's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Does your back still hurt?"

Shen Xuanqing was a little lazy and didn't want to get up. Hearing this, she raised her hand and pressed her shoulder, and said, "It's okay."

"Then you sleep." Lu Gu quickly put on his clothes, stood up and stepped over Shen Xuanqing's calf from the end of the bed and got out of the bed.

As soon as he left the room, the boy looked up at him, wagging his tail, but after yawning, he lay down again, curled up and buried his head.

The mud stove was under the eaves at the back of the room, and two or three sticks of firewood were scattered on the ground. These were not enough, so Lu Gu went to the woodshed.

"Mom." He shouted to Wei Lanxiang who was walking to the rabbit nest after feeding the cows in the backyard.

"Why are you up?" Wei Lanxiang said as he walked, his feet were neat.

"Can't sleep, boil water first when you get up." Lu Gu promised, pushed open the door of the firewood room and hugged a bundle of firewood inside.

Wei Lanxiang had already entered the rabbit shed, took the broom leaning against the wall, and the shovel and dung basket to pick up and shovel the rabbit dung.

The weather is cooler, the flies are less, and the smell of shit is still there, but not as unbearable as it was in the heat.

More poultry and livestock means more manure. This year, there will be more manure on the land than in previous years. The crops will definitely grow better next year. In the eyes of rural people, manure is not just dirty and smelly things. Sometimes cattle, sheep and mules walking on the road follow Pull, there are still people fighting to shovel the dung that fell on the ground.

Soon, the eastern sky brightened and the sun rose.

Lu Gu squatted in front of the tandoor and rubbed the fire with flint. The fire splashed on the very dry velvet, and it didn't take long before it burned. Stuff dry leaves in and the flames rise.

After putting the fine firewood in, he got up and picked up the clay pot to scoop water. At this time, Dahui got up from the sack, shook his fur, and even shook his head, his ears fluttered, and he yawned again. go this way.

When it was cold, although their dogs had to run and hunt in the mountains, they ate well, and their fur looked thicker than in summer.

Lu Gu put the clay pot on the clay stove, sat down and added two sticks of firewood to heat up the fire. Seeing the big ash approaching, he rubbed the furry dog's head. It felt quite good, so he squeezed the big ash again. Gray ears.

After being touched on the head, the big gray eyes narrowed slightly, obviously feeling very comfortable.

After playing with the dog for a while, Lu Gu woke up completely, and slept soundly after midnight last night, not so tired.

But soon, Guai Zai saw him touching the big gray, and with a groan, he ran over and stuffed his head into his hands, and forcefully squeezed the big gray away with his body.

Lu Gu smiled, a little helpless, the good boy has grown up so much, he still likes to be pampered and rubbed against others like a puppy, he has a lot of eyes, he will make a pitiful whine from his throat, and he will also lie crookedly He stared at people with his head, his eyes were full of grievances, and relying on Lu Gu never hitting it, he squeezed the other dogs away several times.

Da Hui let out a low growl, and Lu Gu quickly pushed Guai Zai away to prevent it from being murdered or beaten, but Guai Zai couldn't push him away at all, he pushed back one step, and it took two steps forward, trying to bury his head in Lu Gu's arms.

Having no other choice, Lu Gu had no choice but to rub his gray head with one hand, and push the good boy who was lounging in his arms with the other, a little dumbfounded.

After playing with the two dogs for a while, it was dawn soon, he smiled, got up and stopped playing with them, and still had to clean up, there was plenty of work to do.

Dahei and Dabai also woke up. He dragged the four big sacks where the dogs slept to the corner and piled them up, then took the broom and started sweeping the hall.

When Shen Xuanqing got up, the water in the pot had boiled, and Lu Gu was washing in the yard.

He moved his arms and felt light after stretching his body. Seeing Wei Lanxiang sweeping the yard with a big broom, he shouted, "Mother, I'll sweep later."

The backyard of the house here is very large, and all kinds of poultry and vegetable fields have not been able to fill it up. It takes a lot of work to clean up those open spaces.

Wei Lanxiang stopped what she was doing, and said, "No need, the ground is not dirty, I just sweep the grass clippings and dead leaves into a pile and pick them up, not all of them, you are busy with your work."

That being the case, Shen Xuanqing didn't argue much, and went to wash with water.

The three of them were busy at the new house, and Shen Yan, who had made breakfast, saw that they hadn't returned for a long time, so she ran to look for them.

The female deer was tied in the backyard of his hometown. After breakfast, Shen Xuanqing untied the rope, led the female deer out and said that he was going to the town, and sold it early to get money.

"Those rabbits can also be sold." Shen Yaoqing said.

The whole family knew that he was talking about the first nineteen cubs that were born. Now half a year later, they have all grown into big rabbits, and they are all quite fat.

"I have to lead the deer and push the cart, so don't worry about the rabbit." Shen Xuanqing replied, Shen Yaoqing is going to be busy in the field today, and he can't spare his hands to go to town with him, otherwise he can pull the rabbit and sell it together.

Shen Yaoqing nodded: "That's right, it won't be too late to sell it later when you have time."

Although there were Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang, the cart was always pulled by men, and women and husbands mostly sat on it, so the two brothers never thought of letting other members of the family do it.

Every time Shen Xuanqing went to the town to sell prey, she would bring Lu Gu with her, where she could buy something for the tooth-beating festival, and today was no exception.

Walking through the village with such a doe, many people saw it. When passing by the third room of the Shen family, Shen Yuping was at the door, with a pair of big bright eyes full of wonder, and full of admiration for his cousin.

Even though he had sold a lot of prey in the past two years, and everyone in the village had seen it, it wasn't until he left Qingxi Village that he stopped asking questions and clicking tongues.

Having had the experience of selling dwarf deer last time, upon arriving in town this time, Shen Xuanqing went straight to the pier and asked the steward of Fulai Restaurant.

Big restaurants are different after all, other taverns and restaurants can't afford a doe, but they can eat it.

The accountant's words are still polite, but compared to last year, he has a bit more airs, and he naturally has to look at his face when talking to people. Shen Xuanqing didn't take this little matter to heart, as long as he can earn money, he looks at the accountant The fabric of the clothes on his body is very good, presumably because he has had a good time in the restaurant this year, so it is reasonable to have more airs.

The venison is delicious and nourishing, especially the female merlu, which is much tenderer than the male venison. After some bargaining, it was sold to a restaurant at a price of 45 taels.

The price is very high, but ordinary people can't afford this thing, and the restaurant will definitely sell it to rich and powerful people, and it must be profitable.

But that's none of their business.

Lu Gu still remembered that the dwarf deer sold for 28 taels last year, and now Shen Xuanqing had a whole 45 taels on him. He was pleasantly surprised, and even felt a little used to it. He was used to Shen Xuanqing earning tens of taels of silver, which was more expensive than him. Anyone I've ever seen is amazing.

"What do you want to eat? Let's walk around the town for a while today, and you can buy whatever you want." Shen Xuanqing stared with a smile. If it weren't for the people coming and going on the street, he would be so happy that he would want to rub Lu Gu's hair. Earning a lot of money made him feel more at ease, so that he wouldn't sit still and eat nothing.

Before Lu Gu went out, he wanted to bring the handkerchief he embroidered, but Shen Xuanqing brought out all the deer. If it would take too much time for him to clean it up, it would be fine. Now they both have empty hands and nothing. , much easier than usual.

Fulai Restaurant is close to the pier, and before Lu Gu could think of what to eat, Shen Xuanqing suggested with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've had miscellaneous stew soup, why don't you go eat a bowl, and buy a roast chicken for home when you go back."

The taste of the miscellaneous stew soup Lu Gu remembered that the soup was warm and the offal meat was spicy, and if he had a bite of the crispy white pancakes, he would not be afraid of freezing even in cold weather, so he nodded in agreement.

It was still half in the morning, but the seller of miscellaneous stew soup had already opened the door. There is no one who does not want to make money in business. Most of them get up early. They sat down at the low table. The sesame cakes are so tempting, so I ordered two sesame cakes, so that Lu Gu can also taste what it is like.
