The Sweet Little Fulang

The autumn colors are getting stronger, and every family in the field is working in full swing, pulling firewood beans and peanuts. Few people can be idle, and half-grown children are also called into the field to help.

In the courtyard of the second room of Shen's house, Xia Fulang, who came back from washing clothes by the river, came in with a wooden tub. Two little yellow dogs were fighting and biting in the courtyard. He glanced at the clay pot rolled away on the clay stove, and shouted inside. : "Guzi, milk fruit is boiled, I'll bring you a bowl later."

Lu Gu, who was playing with Zhao'er and Ling Jun in the room, heard it, and shouted out from the half-closed window: "Understood, Grandma, if you want to drink, you can take a bowl."

"Hey, good." Xia Fulang smiled all of a sudden, milk fruit is a good thing, recently he has been blessed by Lu Gu, he can drink a bowl of Bubu every now and then.

The Shen family can drink this stuff every day, and sometimes they don’t want to cook it, so they will distribute some to the neighbors, otherwise it would be a waste to throw it away. The day before yesterday, Wei Lanxiang took a few for Sanfang. It is clean, and few people will dislike the milk fruit that has been eaten. It is enough to cut off the head of the fruit. Besides, it is a good thing, so many people think of ways to ask others for it.

Xia Fulang dried the clothes and diapers in the yard, took two bowls from the kitchen, turned down the firewood under the clay stove, and lifted the earthen pot, and then scooped two bowls of soup into the room.

He put the bowl on the table, and waited to let it cool before drinking, so as not to burn his mouth.

Ji Qiuyue went to work in the field, and left Zhao'er at home, and asked them to help take care of it for a while. When He Zhi and Chen Dongdong finish their homework tomorrow, they can be hired to work. Xia Fulang's family has a strong labor force He has his son and daughter-in-law to work on, and he only needs to earn his own salary for this month, which is a dime. The Shen family treats him well, and sometimes they leave him for dinner, just to help look after the children.

Lu Gu put Xiao Lingjun to sleep in a wooden cradle next to the bed, Zhao'er crawled around on the bed, he was only one year old, he didn't know the severity, just now he crawled next to Lingjun and screamed, and tried to poke him Ling Jun's face, he can only separate the two children.

Xia Fulang sat by the bed and chatted with Lu Gu. He didn't have much work to do, he just washed clothes and shoes, and in the past few days, he helped cook a meal, washed milk fruit for the child and other miscellaneous things. He looked at Zhao'er He looked happy in his heart, he was chubby and laughed when he saw people, so he said, "Wen Zhao looks like this, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Lu Gu smiled when he heard that, Zhao'er is smart and must be promising.

It is difficult for him to go out of the room during confinement, and it is not convenient for him to cook and wash clothes with cold water. Now he is accompanied by Xia Fulang, talking and laughing at home. Both children are young, but Xiaoling does not eat and sleep well. Crying, the two of them can still handle it, and they are not so troubled.

At noon Ji Qiuyue was worried about the children. After Xia Fulang helped to prepare the lunch, she came back to pick it up by herself. .

Xia Fulang cooked two extra meals, but he also ate them together, and the wages were naturally paid. He was very clever, and he went home to prepare meals for his family first, and then ran over to cook here if he didn't eat.

After working hard in the field all day, he returned to his room to rest after hastily washing at night. Shen Xuanqing didn't come back all day, and didn't see his little twins. The moon climbed above his head, so he lit the oil lamp in the room to coax the children to play.

Xiao Lingjun had to eat a milk fruit before going to bed at night. He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the baby in one hand and holding the milk fruit in the other, feeding him very carefully. It's been a month, and Shen Xuanqing is still holding the child like this. I'm afraid that I'm too heavy-handed, and my posture looks cramped and stiff. Fortunately, Wei Lanxiang taught me how to hold the child a few times. His own posture is not comfortable, but it doesn't make the child uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lingjun eats milk and fruit well, he smiled and said, "You don't have to get up at night, I changed the diaper and put it on the chair, you sleep on yours."

Shen Xuanqing looked up, nodded and said, "Alright, Ye Feng is cold, just don't go out."

There was no other movement outside, and he was so tired that he fell asleep thinking about it. He whispered again: "These two days are quite busy, get up early to go to the field, the eldest brother said that he is going to lay sheep for a few days, tomorrow sister-in-law You don’t need to go down to the ground, let her take Zhao’er to watch over there, and if there is any movement, you can call me or the eldest brother to go back.”

Xiao Lingjun let go of the head of the fruit in his mouth, looked down, handed the empty milk fruit to Lu Gu, patted the baby to sleep, and whispered: "It's too late to breed the ewes this year, because it's busy in the farming season. , next year should be a little earlier, let’s diverge.”

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, put the milk fruit in the basket, and when he saw that Lingjun was fast asleep, he lifted the quilt.

Shen Xuanqing knelt on the bed, leaned over and carefully put her son away, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them used to sleep in the same quilt, but since they had a child who slept in the middle, they have been separated. Afraid that the quilt covered by the adults would be too heavy, Lu Gu specially asked Wei Lanxiang to help sew a thick quilt, sometimes It doesn't matter if it's cold in the rainy night, whether he or Shen Xuanqing, just pull his quilt over and cover Xiao Lingjun.

Blowing lightly, the candle lights went out, and the room quickly became quiet.

After working in the field for a day, Shen Xuanqing was a strong laborer, and she put in a lot of effort, and soon fell asleep. Lu Gu, who was sleeping inside, patted the little brother Ling who was not sleeping peacefully and moaning, and gradually into dreamland.

However, in the middle of the night, as soon as the child cried, Shen Xuanqing immediately opened her eyes, and Lu Gu also woke up.

"It's wet again." Lu Gu touched the child and said, the moonlight was good tonight, and the light came through the window paper, he took out Xiao Lingjun's diaper.

Shen Xuanqing tore off a clean piece from the bed, said in a hoarse voice with sleepy eyes, "I'll just change it, you don't have to get up."

He moved his hands while he was talking, Lu Gu couldn't help it, he lay down again after he got up, thinking that he would sleep outside tomorrow night, so that Shen Xuanqing wouldn't have to get up.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingjun is very easy to coax, changing into a clean diaper is no longer uncomfortable, hugging and shaking for a few times will stop crying, and it is not too embarrassing for his father who is so sleepy that his eyelids are fighting.

Children are like this, they don’t care about the time, they will cry when they urinate in the middle of the night, they will cry when they are hungry, and there is no fixed time, like tonight, they just urinate, not waking up from hunger, before midnight, Shen Xuanqing had to give He feeds milk fruit.

At night, there is no fire at the bottom of the stove or under the mud stove. Sometimes when there is no moon, you have to ask other people in the family to wipe the fire and light the lamps. With Mars, it is much cheaper, but the fire book is a bit expensive, and he bought a cheap one for [-] yuan.

After putting down the child, Lu Gu coaxed Xiao Ling a few times out of habit, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Shen Xuanqing said "um" in a daze, then there was no more movement, she was really tired.

Sure enough, the ewe gave birth and was in the middle of harvesting firewood, beans and peanuts. Shen Yaoqing was called back by Ji Qiuyue in time, and took care of it carefully. Fortunately, it was not cold recently, and this female black-hoofed sheep was not the first calf. It went well, no dystocia.

He ran back from the field in a hurry, and turned into joy when the lamb came out. This was the first time their family gave birth to a lamb. Next to him, Ji Qiuyue was holding Zhao'er, also full of joy. If he raised more lambs in the future, Sheep are herded in groups, but these black-hoofed sheep have only been raised for a long time, and they are wild on the mountain, so it is not easy to let them out.

When Wei Lanxiang, Shen Yan and Shen Xuanqing came back in the evening, they were also happy to see the little lamb.

During the dog days, the family took the lamb raised last year to the town to slaughter and sell it, and only the ram and two ewes were left. Perhaps the ewe and ram that were caught first stayed for a long time, and it She was pregnant, but the later ewe never had a big belly. Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing once talked about it jokingly. The first ewe went with them, but they didn't force them, and if they let a few more sheep stay together next year, they might all be able to match.

I was busy harvesting autumn beans and peanuts, drying and beating every day, but no one complained. At the end of the month, the child was full moon, and Lu Gu was finally able to go out.

Xiaoling was born, and the little lamb was growing well, and there were happy events one after another. Wei Lanxiang can say that people are happy when they see happy events.

On the day of the full moon wine, Shen Xuanqing was very happy. Lu Gu had no natal family, and he had already locked the silver lock for safety, which was no worse than others. On the banquet for entertaining relatives and friends, all kinds of fruits, cakes, wine and meat were very rich. It was a busy day.

Since Lu Gu arrived at Shen's house, he ate well and slept well. His health is gradually getting better. After giving birth, he has no other problems. One day, while Brother Xiao Ling was sleeping, he and Ji Qiuyue walked around the river in the village to relieve boredom, and finally they were able to come out for a walk.

When walking towards the mansion, I ran into Grandma Ajin on the road, and stopped to say a few words.

After the two of them left, Grandma Ajin looked at Lu Gu's back with envious eyes. She had lived in Qingxi Village for so many years. Still Huai didn't have to work, never thought that Lu Gu would be more blessed.Let alone her, when some women and husbands in the village gossip, there is a bit of envy in their words.

As soon as he entered the gate, the boy rushed over, and Lu Gu smiled and rubbed its head. He had only heard Shen Xuanqing talk about the little lamb before, but today he came to see it by himself. Not to mention the chickens and ducks, the calf has not been seen for a long time, and the pig The pigs in the pen don't know how much they have grown and fattened up in the past month or so.

After summer, the weather is not so hot, and the stench of the dung pile is much less. In the open space, there are chad beans and peanut stalks in the sun, and it will take a few days to completely dry before they can be collected.

As soon as Ji Qiuyue came over, she went to work in the backyard. Zhao'er had Wei Lan Xiang belt at home, and she was already one year old. She could eat steamed buns by herself, and there was milk fruit at home. She didn't have to worry too much when she was hungry. She had given birth to Zhao'er before. Later, Shen Yaoqing was not allowed to go up the mountain to pick milk fruit because he had enough milk, so he left a ration for other people's children.

Lu Gu first went to the sheepfold to look at the lamb, and the boy followed him, wagging his tail.

"It looks so good." Standing outside the sheepfold, he couldn't help but say something. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the little lamb yelling "baa". say?"

The little lamb said "baa" again, so happy that he stood there and giggled, the little lamb is really interesting.He only heard a "moo" from the other side of the cow pen, and he turned his head to look over. It was the calf that recognized him and was barking.

Lu Gu became more and more happy, he hadn't seen him for a month, the calf still remembered him, so he went to add water to the calf's water tank, but the calf didn't drink immediately, rubbed his big head against his hand, and then buried himself in drinking.
