The Sweet Little Fulang

Shen Xuanqing pretended not to be hurt at all, and the more people listened to it, the more angry they became. Lu Gu's brows were tangled together, but he wouldn't talk back to make people angry, let alone beat them. It took a long time before he took another shot as if to vent Shen Xuanqing turned her arms and face back, and turned her body accordingly, determined to ignore Shen Xuanqing before arriving home, looking at the tied piglets was better than looking at Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing had had enough laughing in front, but when she looked back and saw that Lu Gu only left the back of his head for him, she was obviously angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, if you want to hit you, it will hurt you if you get angry, if you turn around Mom knows, so she might scold me for something."

Even though he said that, but his voice was laughing, Lu Gu moved his buttocks back while sitting on the edge of the board, and still ignored him.

The smile in Shen Xuanqing's eyes didn't fade away, she faked a cough to cover up the unstoppable smile, and said, "Well, I'm a pig, so I'm the head of the house, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mule cart swayed, and the piggy lying on the back of the cart groaned immediately. Lu Gu couldn't help laughing, and turned his head to look forward with his brows stretched.

Shen Xuanqing didn't expect such a coincidence, but he was also happy to see Fulang's smiling brows and eyes, not angry at all.

When he got home, Lan Xiang, the guard, was sweeping the yard at the back. When he heard the noise coming to the front, he was overjoyed when he saw that he had pulled the piglet back.

They happened to be four of them, and Lu Gu also got his hands on it. The piglet was tied up two times and couldn't move and kick, but he just wriggled in his hands. Can't move.

"Wang!"

Guaizai and Gouzi saw the piglet they brought back, they didn't know whether they were excited or excited, they barked at the piggy, but kept wagging their tails, after Lu Gu picked up the piggy, Guaizai even raised his head to smell the piggy butt.

In the cattle pen in the backyard, the calf has grown up compared to last year, but its temperament is still docile. It will moo and moo twice when it sees people. In the past two days, when Lu Gu is free, he will let it go for a walk. The stubble is green, and it is good for the calf to eat outside for half an hour wagging its tail.

The pigsty had already been built, Lu Gu put the piglets in, Shen Xuanqing was the last to come in, kicked the wooden gate shut with his feet, keeping the family dogs out, and then untied the straps on the piglets' legs. Cloth rope, otherwise the good guy might still want to chase the piggy.

As soon as the piglets were let go, they groaned and fled to the corner. The four of them huddled together. Wei Lanxiang was delighted to see it, and tried to call them over with a "bahhhhhhhhhhhh" in his mouth.

"After two days, I can call over when it's cooked." Shen Yaoqing laughed beside him.

Raising pigs is a big deal. Most people in the village raise one or two pigs. Like their family, they bought four pigs in one go. Eat and beat pigweed, and no one can stop you when you walk in a hurry.

The piglets have just been caught, and they must not be very used to changing places. It will be fine after a while. The three of Lu Gu went out, and Shen Xuanqing closed the wooden gate to prevent them from running out. That's it, but it can be slaughtered by the end of the year. If it is fat, one can be sold for three taels of silver.

The four piglets have a total of [-] qian, and the two brothers each contribute [-] qian, and it is agreed that each will get half of the money from selling pork.

The three stood outside the pigsty, and Shen Xuanqing pointed to one of them and said to Shen Yaoqing: "The one with two black flowers on its buttocks is innocent, and when it grows up, it will be a breeding pig."

This was what they had discussed before, Shen Yaoqing nodded and made a note, that one must be fed well, and the baby pigs that will be born later will be strong.

Lu Gu heard a calf mooing beside him, and he didn't know if he was thirsty or hungry, so he walked over to see that there was still hay in the stone trough, but there was not much water, and there happened to be a bucket of water next to it, which Shen Yaoqing had fetched before. I picked up and poured half a bucket for the calf. It's hot today, and the sun at noon is even more scorching, so I don't need to mix hot water for the livestock at home.

When the calf was drinking water, Lu Gu raised his hand to touch its head, and the two horns on its head were also longer than before.Just like people, cows have different temperaments. Their calf is very friendly and will not get angry at all if it is touched on the head.

The two puppies who came with Lu Gu also recognized the calf. They often played with Guaizi in the house, and they were familiar with every place for a long time. Look at the piglets inside.

Seeing that the calf had drunk enough, the water in the trough went down a bit, as people often say cows drink, Lu Gu thought that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said to Shen Xuanqing over there: "I'm going to herd the cows."

Shen Xuanqing heard it, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground from the side of the cattle pen, walked this way and said: "Let's go together, I'll dig some pigweed and come back, Shen Yan is still letting the ducks outside."

There are many kinds of poultry and livestock in the house, and they still mainly use hay recently, but after weeds emerge outside, they will dig some back every day, and they will also give tooth sacrifices to the poultry and livestock. After mowing, it won't be too late to hire He Zhi and his wife to mow the grass.

Wei Lanxiang was already scooping up chaff and wheat bran to cook pig food, and Shen Yao hadn't finished sweeping the sheep pen, so he had nothing else to do, so he just went out with Lu Gu and took care of it.

As soon as the wooden gate was opened, the calf came out without anyone urging it. It walked to the back door in a familiar way, and even trotted a few steps to scare the pups. The two pups wagged their tails and barked, jumping and running with The calves play.

Guaizi was very interested in the little pigs at first, but when he saw that they were all heading towards the back door, he quickly chased after them, and Sa Yazi ran away, rushing to the front and going out the back door first.

As long as the calf does not go to the plowing field, most of the time it is ignored. It grazes by itself, sometimes plays with the boy’s head. When thirsty, he goes to the river to drink water. The river has long since thawed. Some people let the ducks out to swim, and their family just came out today, for fear that the river water would be too cold. Even if the ducks are not afraid of water, they are afraid of severe cold.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them came out, Shen Yan saw her from a distance and called out to Second Brother and Guzi Brother, the boy ran like a gust of wind, that was a brave and vigorous one, and ran towards her.

There was nothing wrong with Lu Gu. Seeing the calf grazing by itself, Shen Xuanqing picked up a grassy place and squatted down to dig grass. He walked towards Shen Yan by himself, and asked, "Why did you run so far today?"

Shen Yan drove the ducks upriver with a bamboo pole. The river was gentle enough to not fail to swim up. Hearing this, he said, "Who knows, they swim while eating, so I follow them. I never imagined that they could go so far a piece."

Dabai came up to join in the fun when she was chasing ducks, because he was alone and bored, plus what Shen Xuanqing had told her before, he would bring a dog alone, at least he had someone by his side, so she wouldn't be alone Outside, she called Dabai when she went out the back door.

She also carried a bamboo basket in her hand, she had already dug half of the basket of wild vegetables, Lu Gu took it, saw a patch on the ground, they squatted down to dig together.

"Sister-in-law said, bring a basket home, and she steamed wild vegetables for us to eat. We haven't eaten them for a long time." Shen Yan pulled out the wild vegetables in his hand, and gently shook the clods on the roots back.

As soon as she said that Lu Gu was also a little greedy, she said repeatedly: "Okay, then dig some more."

While talking, he thought of the piggies he had brought back just now, raised his head and said with a smile: "When you go back, look at the pigsty, and brought those four piggies back."

"Really!" Shen Yan was very happy, and her almond eyes lit up. Shen Xuanqing told her before that she would raise four piglets. When they grow up, they don't have to go out to buy pork. They can eat as much as they want. , how could she not be happy.

"Really, your second elder brother is digging pigweed over there." Lu Gu put the wild vegetables in his hand into the basket, with a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Huang followed Lu Gu to this side, and Huang'er was playing with Guai Zai over there. Its fat little paws were pulling bamboo baskets and trying to bite wild vegetables. Shen Yan was delighted to hear that, but now he has to watch The duck is a little far away from the house, so I had no choice but to put my excitement on the fluffy little Huang, rubbing his head and rubbing his chubby body, giggling happily for a while.

The dogs in the family are all good-natured, and they are very happy to be relatives. When Shen Yan rubbed the pups, their tails kept wagging, and they fell on the ground and turned their belly. The belly looked swollen, so it was very suitable for hands-on. Even Lu Gu couldn't bear it. Live and touch for a while.

The weeds on the ground are getting taller day by day, and there are more and more wild vegetables that can be eaten. It is a beautiful spring, and it is time for Shen Xuanqing to enter the mountains again.

The family can earn money by selling rabbits. The lamb is not too young now, but since he has hunting skills, there is absolutely no reason not to go. Now that Lu Gu is pregnant, they will have children to raise in the future. To earn more money.

The 400 taels of silver they saved last year remained unchanged. Lu Gu had 40 taels of silver in his hand, of which 35 taels were given to him by Shen Xuanqing in the past two years. He had nowhere to spend those silver ingots. What he usually buys are needles and thread, scrap silver and copper plates are enough, but now the copper plate in his hand is worth a few hundred cash, and the scrap silver is worth more than ten dollars.

Shen Xuanqing had some change in silver taels in his hand, and spent some money to buy new year's goods during the Chinese New Year, and after the money from selling rabbits was divided with Shen Yaoqing, they pooled it together, as long as it wasn't too expensive, it was enough for daily expenses.

Because Shen Xuanqing only stayed on the mountain for five or six days, but no one can say for sure about the hunting, Lu Gu prepared eight days of dry food for him, put it in the dry food bag, and put some in a small bag the size of a palm Peanuts, tell him to squeeze a few as a pastime when he is resting.

Salted duck eggs are easier to carry than raw eggs. He packed four of them. Shen Xuanqing was tired from hunting in the mountains. After returning home, she didn’t think she would have time to cook and stir-fry. Eating duck eggs was a bit oily and salty.

"It's not good to eat dry food every day. It's bad for your stomach. I'll pack a piece of bacon for you. Remember to dig some wild vegetables and fry it. Shepherd's purse and bracken are both fine." Lu Gu said, using up the small piece of bacon The cloth was wrapped and put into Shen Xuanqing's bamboo basket.

"Cut it into slices and fry until cooked." He urged again.

Shen Xuanqing, who was sharpening his knife in the front yard, raised his head when he heard the words, and with a bright smile on Jun's face, he agreed, "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

He just went up the mountain early tomorrow morning. Lu Gu checked the contents of the bamboo basket. He found that there was food and some old rice on the mountain, but if Shen Xuanqing was busy hunting, he might not have time to cook rice soup, so he raised his head again: "I'll go Buy a jar of rice wine, if you don’t have rice soup, cook some rice wine and drink it, it will moisten your stomach.”

The rice wine boils quickly. After the water in the earthenware pot is boiled, pour some rice wine into it, and after it boils again, it will be out of the pot.

As he spoke, he got up and went out. Someone in the village was brewing rice wine. Shen Xuanqing was not worried. He just sharpened his knife and told him to walk slowly. If you can't shoot without shooting, it will become a big trouble.

Wei Lanxiang fed the mules, cattle and sheep from the back, looked over the things Lu Gu had prepared, and asked Shen Xuanqing if he had enough to eat. After a while, when he saw Lu Gu come back with a rice wine jar, he clapped his hands and praised him for his carefulness , My old lady didn't even think of it just now.

Lu Gu repeatedly confirmed what he was going to bring, and finally stopped messing around after nothing was left behind. He and Shen Xuanqing still slept in the mansion at night. Dong Xian hadn't been separated at home for several months, and the night before parting seemed a little nervous. promote.

It was early March, and Lu Gu couldn't tell when he was wearing clothes during the day, but they slept together at night, and Shen Xuanqing could touch her white and bulging belly with her hand.Because there was a baby inside, he didn't dare to use force at all, he was careful every day, before Lu Gu was shy and didn't let him touch it, and he was sulking for two days.

"Remember to go home tomorrow." He hugged Lu Gu and told him in a low voice, until the night gradually darkened, the two of them gradually stopped talking and fell asleep.
