The Sweet Little Fulang

The little spirit in the swaddling baby was writhing, and Lu Gu hugged and patted it, but his eyes kept watching the figure approaching from a distance.

"Go, go back." Shen Xuanqing has been up the mountain for half a month. When he saw his husband and son, his eyes were full of smiles. Because the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk, he held a long wooden stick in his hand to borrow strength. Huizi went down the mountain and didn't throw it away. After entering the yard, he threw it on the firewood pile, so it could be used as firewood anyway.

Lu Gu followed closely, with a sweet smile on his face.

Shen Xuanqing unloaded the bamboo basket on his back, and hung the longbow on the wall of the firewood room. When he turned his head, he saw Lu Gu holding the child and following into the firewood room. Everyone has to hug Husband.

He went to the kitchen to ladle water to wash his hands, and asked with a smile, "Mum, are they here?"

"I'm going over there, I'll be back later." Lu Gu couldn't help the child in his arms, so he could only watch from the side. Shen Xuanqing poured water for the dog to drink, and ran all the way.

Guaizi and Dahui Dahei licked their heads sullenly together, and they didn't forget to wag their tails twice. They were also tired after running around in the mountains for half a month.

"I'll eat after I rest." Shen Xuanqing said, and washed her face with water.

"Yes, I know." Lu Gu nodded, seeing that his clothes were dirty, he said, "Today is late, boil some water for you to wash."

Late autumn is not as warm as summer. After noon, it’s not so warm. It’s already afternoon, and the boiling water is cold for washing hair or taking a bath. Their house is fine, and there is enough firewood. In winter, when the weather is warm, the doors and windows are closed at noon. Shut up, able to warm up the brazier and take a bath. This is because of their young age. Wei Lanxiang dare not wash frequently when she is getting old. Suffering from wind and cold is not a trivial matter. It costs money to see a doctor and get medicine. Even my own life is not guaranteed, and the muddy legs in the country would rather be dirty than this. Anyway, everyone doesn't wash it, so don't dislike anyone.

Shen Xuanqing has a strong physique. This time he went up to the mountain to live in a broken thatched cottage. Sometimes he was too tired to go back from hunting, so he would wash with cold water when he was too lazy to boil water. He would be happy to take a hot bath when he returned home.After washing his face, he went to the room to change his outer shirt, Lu Gu still followed.

After returning to the house, Lu Gu sat by the bed and lifted a corner of the swaddle that covered Xiao Lingjun's face. Brother Xiao Ling, who didn't like to have his face covered and kept twisting and moaning, suddenly became happy and showed a smile.

Hearing his son's babbling, Shen Xuanqing was so happy that there were smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows. He took Brother Ling and hugged him in his arms. After Little Brother Ling left Lu Gu's embrace, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he was expressionless. Only those big black eyes were open.

"Have you ever thought about Father?" Shen Xuanqing didn't care, she smiled and told her miss. The child was only two months old and he went up the mountain for so long, and he often thought about it in the mountain. Before going down the mountain this morning, he squatted on the The stubble was shaved by the river, so he didn't have any scruples at the moment, and kissed Brother Ling on the cheek several times.

Such a small child has not seen him for half a month, even if it is his own father, he is a little bit pregnant, and after being kissed, he grins and looks like he is about to cry.

The child cried so loudly, don't say tears, if crying too much hurts the body, not to mention that his daddy made his son cry as soon as he came back. valley.

Lu Gu hugged Xiao Lingjun and coaxed him a few times, Xiao Ling, who had just cried a few times, smacked his mouth, stopped crying, and changed his face very quickly.

Shen Xuanqing sat beside her and smiled, saying, "You really don't give me face."

"It will be good after two days." Lu Gu said with a slight smile.

"This time there are not so many fox furs. There are only eight good-colored red fox furs, and six pieces of average color. They can be sold for about 100 taels." say something.

I haven't caught the rare silver fox and white fox this year, so I can't be lucky every year.

"That's pretty good." Lu Gu was still smiling, not as much as the previous two years, but 100 taels, hunting is so easy, these are enough.

"It's raining a lot this year, and the weather isn't very good. I'm thinking about it and I won't go up the mountain anymore. The money in my hand is enough to spend." Shen Xuanqing stretched out her hand to tease Xiao Lingjun while talking, her fingers were tightly held by their little pair. After holding it tightly, he smiled happily.

He is selfish. Lu Gu and the child are both at home. Now that he has just had a child, he is really thinking about it alone in the mountains. With so much money in his hands, the rabbits at home can be sold for money. You can also hunt and subsidize in Qianshan.

No matter what he said, Lu Gu always trusted him, not to mention that the weather was cold and the mountains were far away. Shen Xuanqing couldn't eat or sleep well in the mountains alone, so naturally he wouldn't refute.

"Well, rest at home." He gave the child to Shen Xuanqing and asked: "What do you want to eat, I will do it."

Shen Xuanqing hugged Brother Xiaoling, raised her head and said, "Are there any eggs left? I haven't been oiled for several days, so I scrambled two eggs to eat."

As soon as Lu Gu heard it, he knew that most of what he ate in the mountains was boiled wild vegetables, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, brother Daqing bought pork yesterday, fried a bowl with autumn vegetables, and got you two bowls of vegetables to eat."

The child was young, and it was cold and windy outside, so Shen Xuanqing didn't go out, playing with her son in her arms, always paying attention to whether Xiao Lingjun was about to cry, remembering the lesson just now, he didn't dare to kiss the baby, so as not to cry.

Before he came back, Brother Xiao Ling had eaten milk fruit and also urinated, so he was still a good boy and hadn't cried.

It was neither early nor late, it was mid-afternoon, Lu Gu and the others had lunch, and before dinner, they only cooked two dishes for Shen Xuanqing and asked him to eat first.

When Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan came over from the big house, they saw that their second son had arrived home, and beat a dozen pieces of fox furs. They were so happy, even dogs were rarer than usual, and they always scolded the good boy that the skins should be beaten. Today, I rubbed my heads one by one, and I didn't think the three dogs were dirty. Seeing that Lu Gu gave the dog a small handful of peanuts, he didn't say anything, he was very happy.

Shen Xuanqing missed his son on the mountain, and was also very surprised to see Zhaoer. After Ji Qiuyue came back with the child, he was very surprised. After all, it was his own nephew.

Lu Gu hugged Xiao Ling in the room and walked around patting him to sleep, seeing this, he said, "Zhaoer, what's the name of the lamb?"

Zhao'er was young, didn't understand for a while, and was still giggling, so he said "baa", and sure enough, Zhao'er heard it and looked over, and said "baa", which made Shen Xuanqing laugh out loud, and put his hands together He hugged Zhao'er who was sitting on his lap and raised it high. Zhao'er laughed even louder after being lifted up, and there was a lot of excitement for a while.

Going to Yuqingfu City to sell fox skins is already a familiar matter for Shen Xuanqing. Today is different from the past. He no longer needs to walk when driving a mule cart. Mules run much faster on the flat official road. The first two years were the first day He didn’t come back until the second day. This time he went to Fucheng to sell fox furs, and he also sent a basket of peanuts and a basket of Qiuchai beans to Lao Yangtou. It only took a day’s work, and he arrived home just after dark in the evening. up.

Shen Yaoqing and his daughter-in-law and son rested at the big house at night. When he came back, Zhao'er was still awake and played on the bed with the oil lamp on. Zhao'er didn't want to sleep, and felt that the room was too dark and kept crying. Ji Qiuyue had no choice but to light the oil lamp, and the child stopped crying when the room was bright.

"It's probably not too big." Shen Yaoqing came out to untie the mule cart, glanced at the sporadic snowflakes falling from the sky, and said, these two days are very cold, he has already added more hay, rice and oranges to the poultry and livestock during the day, even if it snows heavily at night Not afraid.

"Yes." Shen Xuanqing nodded and agreed. When he drove to Fenggu Town just now, there were snowflakes. The first snow in early winter was not so powerful. After the car cover was removed, he led the mule from the side of the house Passed through, tied up in the backyard circle, and added water and grass before leaving.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm going." He shouted into the room.

"Hey, I got it, let's go." Ji Qiuyue agreed in the room.

Xiao Huang wagged his tail and followed him. When he was leaving the hospital, Shen Yaoqing called him back. There are many animals in the backyard, and there are good boys in his hometown, and there are many people. Don't worry. Now that the night is long, there is an extra dog here at night. I am more at ease.

Dark clouds covered the moon and stars in the sky, and it was pitch black everywhere, and the outlines of the houses in the village could barely be discerned.The village is very quiet, only one or two coughs can be heard occasionally. When passing by the door of a dog owner, the sound of a dog barking breaks the silence.

Shen Xuanqing was familiar with the roads in the village, and walked smoothly with a bamboo basket on her back. When the wind blew at night, it became colder, and her breath was white.When he arrived at the gate of his courtyard, he only heard the sound of a dog barking inside, he whistled, and the boy immediately whined.

The courtyard door was closed and unlocked. When he opened the door and came in, he saw candlelight shining through the window of the West Room. Lu Gu was still awake.

"Er Qing?" Wei Lanxiang raised her upper body and shouted out when she heard the movement.

"Mother, it's me." Shen Xuanqing closed the courtyard door and said.

"It's good to come back, it's cold outside, go to rest." Wei Lanxiang shouted, and after hearing the promise, she lay back on the bed before falling asleep.

Just as Lu Gu put the child to sleep, he saw Shen Xuanqing coming in and asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Xuanqing also lowered her voice: "After eating, my wife cooked for me. I will come back after eating."

"That's good. There are steamed buns and vegetables left in the pot, and hot water underneath. You put the food in the basket and wash it with water." Lu Gu handed him the candlestick on the table. There might not be much fire left at the bottom of the stove. It's Mars, it's so dark outside, there's a light so you won't be blinded.

The child had already fallen asleep, and the room became dark after the candlesticks were taken away. Lu Gu took off his shoes and went to bed without going to sleep. He sat on the head of the bed and covered his legs and feet with the Shen Xuanqing quilt. When he first came to Shen's house, every time he earned money, he and Shen Xuanqing counted together, and it gradually became a habit. Hearing the sound of the child humming and chirping, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and patted it again through the quilt to coax him.

As usual, after Shen Xuanqing washed and entered the room, she took out a big money bag from the bamboo basket, and usually dumped it on the table. Tonight, afraid of disturbing Xiao Lingjun, he sat by the bed and took out the silver ingots one by one. Take it out, put it on the quilt and look at it with Lu Gu, and said with a smile: "I sold it for 110 taels, I kept twelve taels outside, and put the remaining 100 taels in for saving."

In this way, they have a full 700 taels of silver.

Lu Gu's eyebrows were curved, and Shen Xuanqing put several silver ingots in his hand one after another, which were so heavy that he almost couldn't see his eyes when he smiled.

Shen Xuanqing was equally happy, throwing an ingot of silver in his hand into the air and catching it again. The 700 taels of silver made him feel at ease. There are more than thirty taels of broken silver and copper plates, more than enough to support Lu Gu and his children.
