The Sweet Little Fulang

It was cloudy for several days in a row, and there was no snow but the north wind was blowing hard. The sun finally came out at noon today, and the wind stopped. Taking advantage of the sun, Lu Gu put Xiao Ling to sleep and came out to bask in the sun. By the way, make a pair of thick shoes for Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing's feet are big, and the soles of the shoes he bought are more expensive than the rest of the family. He often has to rush, either up the mountain or to the town, to make more winter shoes. changed.

In winter, when the farms were slack, there wasn't much work to do. Shen Yan sat beside her embroidering handkerchiefs. The flowers she embroidered were getting better and better, and she sold five of them two days ago.

Unlike Lu Gu, she didn't make needles since she was a child, and she didn't embroider a few, so she simply gave them to her family. Now that Lu Guteng couldn't do needlework, he gave her those embroidery threads and Sujuan handkerchiefs, not to mention selling them for money. Yes, I have to make a few new handkerchiefs for the family during the Chinese New Year.

Country people can't afford cloth to make new clothes for the New Year, so they can only make new shoes. If they have a few copper coins in their hands, they will also buy a new handkerchief, which is right to add to the celebration.They don't have to worry about buying new clothes, but they also need new handkerchiefs.

The two chatted while working. For a while, the third grandma’s family steamed jujube cakes, and they went to get some back later.

After a while, Lu Gu got up and walked around the room, Xiao Ling was still awake, his cheeks were rosy, and he was not cold at first sight.He was covered with a thick quilt, and Mrs. Tang was always stuffed under the quilt, which was warm, and he was not afraid that the child would be cold if he wore less clothes when sleeping.

The sun is good. Ji Qiuyue came back from the mansion with Zhao'er in her arms. Zhao'er is white, fat and attractive. Aunts and grandmothers tease and play along the way. The country people eat plain food, and most of them are skinny. Even if the child has milk on him Fat, it doesn't necessarily mean how fat, a fat baby like Zhao'er is blessed at first glance, and the elderly love it the most.

"Little mother and aunt are here." She smiled and said to Zhao'er as soon as she entered the door, and the house immediately became lively.

After Lu Gu came out, he was smiling and said that he wanted to wash a milk fruit, and when Lingjun woke up, he wanted to eat it. When he saw Zhaoer came back, he stretched out his hand to be hugged by him, so he took Zhaoer and kissed her on that chubby face. mouth.

Ji Qiuyue hugged her son all the way, pulled the bench and sat down with a smile: "You hold her for a while, I'll rest, it's heavy."

The three of them played with the child for a while, Lu Gu let Zhao'er sit on his lap, and said, "Sister-in-law, help wash some milk fruit, brother Ling wakes up and eats."

"Okay." Ji Qiuyue got up to get the milk fruit.

At this time, Guaizi ran in from the outside, followed by Shen Xuanqing and Luo Biao. This morning, Shen Xuanqing put on a mule cart and went to Fenggu Town to deliver rabbits, chickens and ducks. He never thought that Luo Biao would come back with him.

Since last year, Luo Biao would come over to eat and drink when he had free time. Shen's family was used to it, and it was nothing more than an extra pair of chopsticks.

"Sister-in-law." Luo Biao never twitched, he even bought a rattle for Lingjun when he came back last time, he has been here many times, and he is quite familiar with the Shen family.

Shen Xuanqing moved the small table into the yard, and said, "Biaozi sleeps all night, and we will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyue said, "Okay, rest over there at night, I'll make the bed later."

"So, thank you sister-in-law." Luo Biao and Shen Xuanqing are familiar with Shen Yaoqing, and they come here often, and they didn't miss the Lingjun full moon wine before.

But because of their different identities, he and Ji Qiuyue, Lu Gu and Shen Yan spoke a little rudely and politely. As an outsider, he naturally couldn't talk much to wives and husbands, but Wei Lanxiang, she was old, On the contrary, there are not so many taboos.

Shen Xuanqing poured tea, and sat down with Luo Biao to drink and chat. After he delivered the rabbit to the building, Luo Biao happened to be there, saying that he had nothing to do in the past few days. Seeing the good weather, he wanted to go hunting in the mountains. The car was here, so he pulled Luo Biao back and went to the mountain tomorrow morning.

Winter hunting is nothing unusual, and Shen Xuanqing originally intended to go hunting in the mountains recently.

Speaking of which, he doesn't go up the mountain for so long now, he stays at home for more than half a month, and it is very convenient to have a mule cart. He often goes to the town to deliver livestock, so there is no need to ask Luo Biao about the Li family and Lu Wen. He had to guard against it as a hidden danger, but now it was just a few gossips. He already knew that Li Mingshan's illness was not cured, and Lu Wen gave birth to twins, and Miss Luo's family gave birth to a son.

Although the Li family had a queen, Li Mingshan's heart disease has never been good. Mrs. Li has been such a darling son all her life, and she tried every means to treat his illness.

Li Mingshan was sickly lying on the bed, Lu Wenwen didn't please the Li family very much, without Li Mingshan's support, life would not be as good as it used to be.

Mrs. Li is tired of the Lu family. If it weren't for Lu Wen, she wouldn't have to deal with the Luo family's marriage. She and the Luo family have lost a lot of good words, and they have posted good things in it, so she married Miss Sisandzhuang back. See In the name of Lu Wen's opening up to the Li family, she made their family more prosperous. She didn't say it clearly, but she knew that if Li Mingshan's disease could not be cured, she would not even have a baby, and even had sex. Neither.

So she didn't kick Lu Wen out, and gave him and the child enough food and clothing. After all, they belonged to the Li family's blood, but the two people in the countryside who claimed to be their father-in-law and mother-in-law still called Li Mingshan their son-in-law. It's just a concubine's room, she always doesn't want to see any son-in-law and father-in-law. After Li Mingshan's accident last year, she immediately ordered the servants who watched the back door not to allow those two people to enter.

When Lu Wen was pregnant, he was pushed down and saw the red. The child was born weak and weak. He was not thinking right, but he still cared about the child. Since he did not have to worry about food and clothing, and the child looked weak, he stopped to worry about the child When I was busy, I didn't even see Du Hehua again, so I just asked the servant girl to go out and deliver some things.

As for Du Hehua and Lu Daxiang, last year they came to the Shen family to beat Qiufeng and failed. One had a broken leg and the other had a broken arm. After thinking about it, they asked Lu Daxiang, who could move his legs, to go to the town and cry. He originally wanted to talk to Lu Wen, and asked their young master and son-in-law to help him clean up the Shen family to vent his anger. Lu Daxiang couldn't enter the Li family. The back door, but I can ask Lu Wen's servant to deliver a message.

But at that time when Li Mingshan fell ill, Lu Wen didn't dare to mention it to the Li family at all. He just found a few words to prevaricate Lu Daxiang. Well, he didn't even dare to mention Shen Xuanqing. He had engaged in a marriage contract at the beginning, and if he mentioned it, he would slap himself in the face. If he didn't do it, he would get a reputation for treachery and climbing high branches. If Luo Hongsi knew about it, it would be even worse. Mrs. Li didn't tell him about this, but he had a feeling that the old lady must know how to dare to pluck a tiger's beard.

After all, Du Hehua was his own mother, so he sent a servant to bring money, food, and medicinal materials for the general to raise at home. Shen Xuanqing was annoyed that even though he beat his mother, he also had doubts. According to what Lu Daxiang said, Shen Xuanqing went to the door, but Shen Xuanqing didn't make any movement for a year or two, so why did she suddenly go to beat someone up.

Later, after the child was born, I once asked the boy to deliver cloth to help the mother and father who had a broken leg and arm. After inquiring, I realized that it was his mother and the stepfather who went to Shen's house to get beaten.

When the boy replied, he kept his face and didn't say that the two of them ran to fight Qiufeng, but Lu Wen couldn't figure it out. He was annoyed and ashamed. He had clearly broken up with Lu Gu and the Shen family, but he couldn't figure out which one he went to fight Qiufeng. Not good, I just went to Shen's house and made him lose face in front of the servant.

Fortunately, the servant Li Mingshan gave him was loyal but clumsy, a few words and a little favor could shut him up.

Shen Xuanqing didn't care about what happened to the Li family any more, only occasionally listening to Luo Biao say a few words, their family's little brother Ling was delicate and dexterous, he was too busy holding the child in time, so how could he care about other things.

There are many houses in the family now, and people can sleep there. After Luo Biao rested for a night, the next morning, together with Shen Yaoqing, the three of them went up the mountain with their dogs and did not come back until evening.

Wei Lanxiang stood in front of the courtyard after the sun had set, and chatted with Mrs. Miao next door for a while. Shen Xuanqing mostly hunted in the front mountain in winter, and came back half a day. He went early today and didn't come back, so he was naturally worried. , She murmured in her heart, she thought that the three young men would come back sooner after going there.

After Shen Xuanqing and the others came back, they carried a wild sheep with a hard branch, only then did they realize that they had gone into the mountains to hunt sheep.

The wild goat was shot by two arrows, one hit the throat, and the other wound was only on the stomach. It was shot by Luo Biao. Compared with Shen Xuanqing, his archery skills are indeed not good, but it is not bad to be able to hit the prey .

Shen Yaoqing shot two fat rabbits, one was dead and the other was injured, the injured one also died not long after returning, if it is cold today, if the skin is skinned and it is frozen outside at night, the meat will become hard and hard, so it is not afraid of spoiling it. If you want to eat rabbit meat for a few days, you don't need to kill and raise those.

Shen Xuanqing's sheep hunting is not a hobby, it's freezing cold, eat some mutton to nourish and warm up, last year he wanted to kill the head sheep to nourish Lu Gu and his family, but unfortunately Lu Gu was pregnant at that time and smelled fishy The taste is straight, and it will be better this year. Wouldn't it be beautiful to cook a pot of fresh mutton in the cold weather.

However, I came back late today, and it was already dark, so I had to put aside the matter of eating mutton for one night.Luo Biao originally thought about leaving today, but since he had hunted a sheep, Shen Xuanqing kept him and stayed for another night.

I never thought that the howling north wind would blow in the middle of the night, and by the next morning, heavy snow would fall all over the ground, and the snow did not stop.

Lu Gu heard the wind at night, and wrapped his arms around the child in his quilt in a daze. Ling Jun knew E'mu very well, and slept soundly and sweetly when he was hugged.

The goose-feathered snow outside was blown up by the wind, and people could hardly open their eyes. If they were not wrapped up when going out, the wind would be like a knife, and the face would hurt, and the ears would freeze off.

There will be two heavy snowfalls every year, which is not surprising to the villagers. The snow is not that thick, but the wind blows hard. No one wants to go out on this kind of day. Luo Biao still sleeps in the big house at night. I had fun, and said to Shen Yaoqing, well, now I can't go back tomorrow even if I want to, and I have to treat the building steward for a meal later.

In such a cold day, Shen Xuanqing still boiled water and killed the sheep after getting up. Why don’t you eat hot stewed meat when it’s cold? Besides, Luo Biao won’t be able to go back for two days, and if there is meat, he won’t serve it to the guests. faux pas.

Lu Gu wrapped the badger fur collar around him, and he didn't leave the room much when he wanted to hold the baby. Wei Lanxiang wrapped it tightly, not to mention the badger fur collar, but also covered his head and ears, and boiled water in the kitchen to help Shen Xuanqing.

Ji Qiuyue and Zhao'er went back to their hometown last night, not to avoid suspicion. Luo Biao slept soundly at night, and couldn't wake up from the shaking. She listened to it the night before last night, and it happened to be Wei Lanxiang last night. Playing on the bed with his eldest grandson in his arms, Ji Qiuyue never passed that night.

When Shen Yaoqing and Luo Biao came over against the wind and snow, they were dressed thickly, but the north wind was uncomfortable no matter what, so they roasted in front of the brazier for a long time before going to kill the sheep with Shen Xuanqing.

Fortunately, a large pot of hot water was boiled, and killing the sheep would not cause the hands to be so cold, but it was not very uncomfortable. After Shen Xuanqing finished, she did not warm her hands on the fire. There was a burst of warmth, and he could also take a look at his son by the way, and whistled twice to amuse Xiao Lingjun.

At noon, the mutton was gurgling and boiling in the cauldron, and the heavy snow was still falling outside, and even the sky was a little dark.

The family, together with Luo Biao, carried the clay stove into the main room, put the stewed mutton on the clay stove with a horse spoon, and simmered it while eating, not afraid that the meat would cool down. They were really happy and lively. They even opened a jar of wine , a large piece of meat and a big sip of wine dispelled all the chills in the snow.
