The Sweet Little Fulang

Wei Lanxiang caught up and pulled the goose away. Seeing that Xiao Shunzi was crying with tears and snot coming out, she took off his trousers to check. It was fine, it didn't bleed from biting, but his buttocks were twisted and bruised Son.

She was so angry that she patted Xiao Shunzi's intact buttocks on the other side, couldn't help laughing, put on his trousers and cursed: "Don't poke him, you can do it, why don't you hold a broken stick?" Stuck to the sky? Have a long memory now?"

Xiao Shunzi sniffed his nose and kept crying. Seeing that he was really miserable, and he was so thin and black that he looked like a monkey. Wei Lanxiang couldn't blame him any more, so he pulled off the clothes that had slipped off his shoulders, and said, "You Why doesn't mother change your clothes? Go away, aunt will bring you a pastry to eat, don't drop the beans, it's a joke."

Xiao Shunzi is small, but she is of the same generation as Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing in the village, so it is natural to call her aunt.

As soon as she heard about eating cakes, Xiao Shunzi followed her while crying. Seeing the big goose in front, she quickly hid behind Wei Lanxiang, not daring to do it again.After driving the ducks and geese into the duck house, Wei Lanxiang closed the wooden gate before calling Xiao Shunzi to go to the front room. He stopped crying now.

Wei Lanxiang opened the oil-paper bag and took two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus crisps for him: "Skin monkey, let's see if you dare to skin it in the future, it's all right, go home quickly."

Xiao Shunzi took a piece in one hand, took a bite, and ran away from the front door laughing through tears.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm going home too." Zhou Xiangjun has time to take a walk today, and the family's meal should be ready.

"You give these to Xinlian and Brother Yu to take back and taste." Wei Lanxiang wrapped the oiled paper bag and handed it to Zhou Xiangjun. There was not much inside, only five yuan.

Zhou Xiangjun took it with a smile. The relationship between the two families has always been good, and it is my own family. Sometimes it seems estranged to refuse too much.

"Grandma is gone." Lu Gu came from behind and sent her out with Wei Lanxiang.

Outside the chicken pen in the backyard, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yan squatted down and smashed snails. Ducks and geese can go into the water, and it’s easy to eat small fish and snails. In order for the chickens to grow well, they have to touch them. They are already half-grown. This year, there are a lot of chicks in the spring. Excluding the ones that have not been raised, there are 23 chicks and 33 ducklings hatched in their family. Ten chickens and ten ducklings, only the half-sized ones, a total of [-] chickens and [-] ducks.

Chickens are used to eating snails that were smashed open, and when they saw people smashing outside, they rushed over one after another, cooing and cooing through the bamboo fence.

Lu Gu was originally with them in the backyard, but the smell of feces really made his stomach uncomfortable, so he went to the front to rest. He poured water for himself and Wei Lanxiang, and asked, "Mom, Xiao Shunzi gone back?"

Just now Wei Lanxiang and Zhou Xiangjun were driving the ducks and geese into the duck house. When the three of them heard Xiao Shunzi crying, they asked what was going on.

Wei Lanxiang wanted to laugh when he mentioned this, this little Shunzi was unlucky, there was no one like Xiao Shuanzi on his feet, and he was dishonest, so he had to poke the big goose, and said with a smile: "I went back after eating sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. I saw that the flesh of the buttock was twisted, thanks to the bite on the buttocks, the meat is loose, there is no bleeding, it's just green, let's see if he dares to provoke a big goose in the future."

While talking, Shen Yaoqing, who came back from pulling weeds in the field, walked in, Lu Gu poured him a bowl of tea, and Wei Lanxiang scooped up water to wash his hands.

Ji Qiuyue at her hometown had already prepared the meal. When Shen Yan and Shen Xuanqing came over, the five of them walked home talking and laughing. When they passed Grandma Ajin’s house, Xiao Shunzi was playing at the door, and the pastry in her hand had disappeared. , but the traces of crying are still on the face, it can be seen that the face has not been washed.

Grandma Ajin brought out a bamboo basket to smoke straw, and when she saw them, she smiled and said, "Xiao Shunzi said you were bitten by a big goose?"

Wei Lanxiang quickly explained: "No, I was driving the goose home. He and Xiao Shuanzi picked up a branch and went to poke the goose. The two of them ran away, and Xiao Shuanzi ran fast. I didn't let the big goose catch up, but I got bitten by him."

Xiao Shunzi next to him sniffed his snot, and the side of his butt was still hurting. If he told others later, how could he have any face, he would go home angrily, unwilling to listen.

Grandma Ajin saw him enter the room with a snort, and laughed and scolded: "You bastard."

First of all, when Xiao Shunzi came home with a pastry in his hand, Grandma Ajin had already asked what was going on, and also saw the injury on the grandson's buttocks, it was just bruised, it didn't matter that much, it's like this when raising children in the countryside , playing, running and jumping outside, bumping into each other and not caring too much, besides, Xiao Shunzi also ate two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from others, and received all the compensation. The relationship between the two families is pretty good. When going to town or gatherings, Grandma Ah Jin would often ask her to buy some things, just to ask a question, not to blame the teacher.

Wei Lanxiang knew what she meant, and said a few more gossips before going home.

Zhao'er will be one year old in a little more than a month. He is white, fat and strong. He is afraid of getting sick when the weather gets hot. At noon, he only wears a red bellyband. His exposed arms and legs look like lotus root festivals. She is full of milk fat, and now she can sit still and crawl, and she is still babbling, but she still doesn't know how to speak.

The adults sat around the table to eat, he sat in the cradle next to him and looked out, he also grabbed the edge of the wooden cradle hard, raised his buttocks, and sat down again, and repeated this several times, Wei Lanxiang was so happy that she praised her The eldest grandson just had strength, so Ji Qiuyue couldn't help it, so she broke off a bit of the steamed bun in her hand and stuffed it into his hand, letting him eat and play, so as not to delay the adult's meal by hugging her.

After she had food in her hands, Zhao'er sat there quietly without moving, her hands were covered with saliva.

Lu Gu has a big belly, it's not that he can't hold a baby, it's just that Zhao'er loves to kick now, even though he's just such a small doll, his hands and feet are strong, the family members are afraid of kicking him in the stomach, so they don't let him hug him very much.The white and fat doll has big eyes, which is really rare, but Lu Gu can't hold it, so he can only tease it when others hold it.

Not long after eating, he took a shower, and Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yaoqing were washing their faces, so he played the rattle drum to coax the children to play, and Zhao Er, who was sitting in the wooden cradle, giggled happily.

"The water is ready." Shen Xuanqing came in from outside holding a footbath.

One of Lu Gu's fingers was tightly held by Zhao'er, and he was playing just right, without turning his head, he said, "I see."

The footwashing water became cold after a long time, so he didn't delay too much. After Ji Qiuyue finished washing and picked up the baby, he turned and entered the door. Shen Xuanqing was making the bed.

His eyebrows are slightly curved, his smile is shallow, but he is very good-looking.

Shen Xuanqing saw this smile as soon as she turned her head, and she also smiled, and waited for Lu Gu to sit down by the bed and take off her shoes and socks.

The two have always washed their feet together, and today is no exception.Because he washed every day, Lu Gu didn't go down to the ground and didn't work, but there was nothing to wash. After soaking for a while, Shen Xuanqing wiped his feet first and let him go to bed.

Just laying down on the bamboo mat, the bamboo mat was cool, but after a while, it was warmed by his body, Lu Gu tossed and turned a piece of ground, he grabbed the cattail fan on the bed and shook it lightly, looking at Shen Xuanqing who was still rubbing his feet , whispered: "If it is possible, I really want to give birth right now."

Giving birth has never been an easy task. It takes ten months to conceive, and there are always various discomforts on the body. Even summer seems to be hotter than usual.

Shen Xuanqing raised her head and smiled, comfortingly said: "It's almost there."

Seeing that Lu Gu's brows were slightly annoyed, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "First of all, Shen Yan didn't ask you, is this a boy or a girl, we can't tell, what do you want?"

Talking about this Lu Gu didn't worry anymore, he smiled and pondered lightly, and then said: "I don't know, if it's a boy, he will have a companion with Zhao'er in the future, or a girl, isn't Yanyan always saying that he wants to have a niece? Shuang Er is also good."

Because he was too entangled, he fell into another trouble.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing smiled, wiped her feet and said, "When you were sleeping at noon, I went to Wangli Village and made an agreement with Li Po, and asked her to deliver the baby."

Li Po is the Wen Po who delivered Ji Qiuyue, she is old and experienced, so naturally she can't be treated badly when she comes to Lu Gu.

"En." Lu Gu nodded. After he was pregnant, he heard Wei Lanxiang tell Shen Xuanqing that he must invite Mrs. Li to come. It's not surprising now.

Shen Xuanqing said again: "When I came back, I met Grandma Xia, and I made an agreement with him. You may not be able to take care of it when you are in the middle of the autumn harvest, but there are sister-in-law and mother who are cooking, so hire him Laundry for you, wash diapers for your child, wait for a month, and you will have a safe life, don’t worry about anything else.”

Lu Gu had heard him say before that if the family was busy, he wanted to hire someone to take care of the confinement child, but he didn't take it to heart, and never thought about talking to him today.

Shen Xuanqing took the footbath and poured water outside, and when she came in, she closed the door and said, "It's not expensive, I've made an agreement with Aunt Xia, we'll give you one denarius a month, and he has already agreed."

Xia Fulang's family life is not bad, although he likes to gossip and has a big mouth, but he is clean and hardworking, otherwise Shen Xuanqing would not look for him, a penny is not a small amount of money for a countryman, but There is no one who is unwilling to wash clothes and serve confinement.

Now that it was agreed, Lu Gu didn't say much, and Shen Xuanqing was stubborn, so he couldn't change it even if he said it, so why bother to make Shen Xuanqing unhappy.

He raised his eyebrows and nodded lightly: "Okay."

What Shen Xuanqing wanted to say, he heard him hum slightly, and then he lifted up his inner clothes, revealing his round and white belly. With the afterglow of the setting sun coming in through the window, he saw his belly swelled up. The little hands and feet of the doll inside.

Lu Gu patted his belly lightly, he and Shen Xuanqing looked at it, and sure enough, the belly was bulging again, as if responding to him.Ever since the first fetal movement, the two of them have been enjoying it a lot, and both feel strange and amazed. They never thought that a baby can play with adults in the belly.

Shen Xuanqing reached out and touched it lightly, with a silly smile on her face, and Lu Gu also smiled a little silly, and they didn't lie down until the stomach stopped moving.

The window was half closed, the sun was gradually setting, and the sky was getting dark. Shen Xuanqing held the cattail fan to cool him down. Tonight was not too bad. Lu Gu was not hot and was sweating. During the hottest two days ago, he slept at night. Not good, Shen Xuanqing had been fanning him in the first half of the night, and even brought in water to wipe his body and sweat.

The two whispered a few personal words, and gradually fell asleep.

Days go by quickly, Lu Gu was conceived in the middle of winter, and it is time to give birth in mid-to-late August, but no one can say when the baby will be born, let alone Shen Xuanqing these days, Wei Lan Xiang also keeps an eye on Lu Gu's movements, and the whole family is a little nervous.

Only Lu Gu, he knew that giving birth would involve pain that ordinary people cannot experience, but he was still happy in his heart. Pregnancy is fun, but it is inconvenient to do anything with a belly stretched out for so long, and his hands and feet will still be swollen. come out good.

He was so looking forward to it in his heart, but he didn't know that every day passed without any movement.

Wei Lanxiang is okay, she is a person who has been here. Some of the children will be born sooner or later. She is not so anxious, but Shen Xuanqing is a stunned boy. After all this, he is calm and composed in front of Lu Gu every day. I was restless for several times, so I invited the herbal doctor, who only said that the fetal image was stable, just wait, but he didn't have any countermeasures.

Until August 28th, when Lu Gu woke up early in the morning, he didn’t sleep well in the second half of the night. His stomach felt uncomfortable, but it didn’t hurt that much, and he fell asleep in a daze. He was about to get up after putting on his shoes, when he suddenly felt No, he looked down and saw that his pants were wet. He passed by when Ji Qiuyue gave birth before, but now he was taken aback, and quickly called Shen Xuanqing.

There was a bang from outside, the wooden basin fell to the ground, and water was sprinkled everywhere. Shen Xuanqing, who had just scooped up the washing water, couldn't care about anything and only knew to run into the room.

Wei Lanxiang naturally heard the yelling, she came in and saw that she was really about to give birth, she slapped her second son awake, and said loudly: "Oh, why are you so dazed, why don't you take a car to pick up Mrs. Wen!"

Shen Xuanqing woke up suddenly, his legs were running fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Wang Licun was far away. Shen Yaoqing was too impatient before, and ran back directly with Mrs. Wen on his back. Now they have a mule cart, so people don't need it. so tired.

The red basin for delivery had already been prepared, and Wei Lanxiang pulled it out from under the bed. Shen Yan hurried to the kitchen to boil water. Don't worry about it, Ji Qiuyue ran out to call the woman who hugged her waist, and the house suddenly became chaotic, which made Lu Gu a little nervous.

The mule cart never ran so fast again, Shen Xuanqing hardly stopped the whip in his hand, and Wei Lanxiang felt at ease when he picked up Mrs. Wen.

Lu Gu's head was covered with sweat, and the pain of giving birth was a pain he had never experienced before.

The door and windows of the room were closed, Shen Xuanqing couldn't see anything, Shen Yaoqing hugged Zhao'er who was woken up crying in the courtyard, turned around to see his pale face, and quickly called Shen Yan to bring a chair over.

People often say that having a child is a matter of half-stepping into the gate of hell. Shen Xuanqing seems to have returned to last year. On the day Ji Qiuyue gave birth to Zhao'er, pots of blood were brought out. The blood-red color made him dizzy. Orion will faint when he sees blood, and it is really a joke to say it.

After sitting down, Shen Yan poured him another bowl of warm water and directly poured it into his mouth while pinching his nose, only then did he regain his senses and he was not so dizzy.

Like last year, someone brought out a basin from the room, and the basin was filled with blood-red water. His head was no longer dizzy, but his legs and feet were a little weak. It was never half an hour to give birth, and the basin of bloody water It was as if a big stone had weighed on his heart. He never thought that such a thin Lu Gu could bleed so much.

The house was in such a mess, Shen Yan had to boil water and take care of his second brother, Shen Yaoqing laughed angrily while hugging his son, and scolded Shen Xuanqing for being hopeless and hopeless, how could he be so frightened.

Shen Xuanqing didn't know what was going on in her head, and subconsciously retorted when she heard the words: "You are just a little bit stronger than me, and I didn't see how competitive it was. It wasn't because I supported you at that time that you didn't fall down."

Shen Yaoqing choked, unable to say anything to refute at all.

Until the afternoon, Shen Xuanqing, who couldn't eat or drink, suddenly heard a baby crying. He stood up abruptly, thinking that he had heard it wrong. It wasn't long before Li Po shouted the four words "Happy Twins" and called him. Calm down, because there was a gust of wind outside, it was hard for Li Po to take the child out, so she just stood at the door and called him to come and have a look.

He hurried over and was almost tripped when he was on the stage. The baby in the swaddle had stopped crying, and was soft and sleeping with his eyes closed. There was a faint red mark between his eyebrows, which looked as beautiful as a painted flower.

It's the same little pair as Lu Gu.

Shen Xuanqing smiled, but her eyes were a little moist. It was not until the midwife congratulated him again that she remembered to take out a piece of red cloth from her bosom and stuff it into Granny Li's hand.

Wen Po smiled happily and carried the child in. The room was being tidied up. He couldn't go in right now, so he had to wait patiently for Wei Lanxiang to call him.

The others left, and Mrs. Wen went to eat in Wei Lanxiang's room, and Shen Xuanqing was able to enter the room.

Lu Gu was resting with his eyes closed and his hair was wet with sweat. He opened his eyes after hearing the familiar voice, and both of them looked at each other with a smile, but he saw that there seemed to be water splashing in Shen Xuanqing's always bright star pupils.

Shen Xuanqing's throat choked before she spoke: "You have suffered."

Lu Gu didn't have much strength, so he smiled lightly, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Have you chosen your name?"

I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl before, and I prepared a few names but never decided on them. Now I was born as a twin. I want to coax the little twin who is sleeping next to me, but I don't know how to call it.

"Lingjun, Shen Lingjun." Shen Xuanqing picked up the cloth towel beside him and wiped his temples.

This name was not what the two of them thought of before, Lu Gu looked a little surprised.

Shen Xuanqing glanced at the sleeping doll, and explained with a smile: "The first time I saw him, the brows were more delicate and beautiful than others, and I thought that if he opened his eyes, he must also be intelligent, and there were two Lingjuns." Character."

"Ling Jun." Lu Gu murmured in his mouth, and thought the name sounded good, he rolled his eyes happily, and softly called the baby in the swaddle next to him: "Ling Jun, brother Ling."

The author has something to say:

Lingjun (jun) baby is here~

Let me explain, Lingjun is the character of Qu Yuan. That day I thought hard and typed out several names at random. I thought it sounded good, so I prepared it in the outline. I didn’t touch porcelain on purpose. Another interpretation is that later generations generally refer to scholars of Ci and Zhang. In the future, Lingjun wants to study, so it is taken as only the word "Ling" means Lingxiu, not the meaning of the word "Lingjun".
