The Sweet Little Fulang

Lu Gu went home alone, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Brother Ling crying in the room.

Shen Yan was standing at the door of the kitchen peeling a wilted pear. There were two soft, rotten black spots on the pear, both of which were not very big. Lu Gu came back from the outside, so he said with a smile: "Brother Gu Zi, then you go, my hands are stained with juice."

I bought a lot of pears last time, and they either wilted or had black scars after being kept for a long time. These days, I have been peeling and gouging out the scars, so this is the only one left to eat.

"Well, you are busy with your work." Lu Gu hurried into the room, carried Xiao Lingjun out of the bed, and with a little touch of his hand, he felt the wetness on the doll's pants, and he wet the bed again.

"It's flooding." He held the baby in his arms and coaxed him first, then reached out and brought clean pants and diapers from the chair next to him and put them beside the bed. He smiled and joked with Brother Ling, and said, "Thank you Mu and Dad are not on the bed, or I will run away for you."

Brother Xiaoling couldn't understand, so he cried a few times and gradually stopped.

Lu Gu pulled out the baby's wet diaper, seeing that he stopped crying, and then put it on the bed to change clothes. Seeing that the hem of the coat was also wet, he simply took it off, and wiped it with the coat, Brother Ling Ass and legs, put them on quickly.

"Urinated again." Shen Yan walked in while nibbling on a pear, looked at the opened quilt, and said vaguely: "Fortunately, today is a good day. After washing for a day, it will be dry tomorrow."

"That's not it." Lu Gu smiled, seeing that she was eating pears, he didn't let his helper hug him, put Xiao Ling in the wooden cradle next to the bed and let him lie down first, and lifted the bed by himself.

Thanks to the large number of mattresses in their house, there are at least two thick cotton mattresses in a room, and two or three thin cotton mattresses each. This was something that Lu Gu would never have imagined before. He only had one worn-out quilt, let alone change and wash it. , It would be nice to have a wrap in winter.

He opened the box and took out the quilts that had been dried last time and laid them out one by one. Shen Yan lay on the wooden cradle to play with Little Lingjun. The arm wants to grab.

"This one." Shen Yan shook the pear in his hand, pressed his tongue against the palate and made a clicking sound, and said with a smile: "You can't eat it, you can only watch me eat it."

Lu Gu was making the bed, when he heard a smile and said: "You just want him, I don't care if he cries later, you can coax him yourself."

Children are like this, no matter Zhaoer or Lingjun, they can’t see adults’ mouths move, they want to eat as soon as adults eat, and cry when they don’t, first I had Zhaoer’s experience, Ji Qiuyue couldn’t eat a milk baby When eating snacks and fruits, he always has to carry Zhao'er on his back, and Lu Gu is doing the same now, he doesn't eat much in front of Lingjun.

"Forget it, one of them is stronger than the other, and I can't coax them well when they cry." After two nephews were crying, Shen Yan was clever, and she had to coax herself when they made her cry, so she went to the side Eat it, don't let Brother Ling see it.

After nibbling the remaining pears, she went outside to wash the milk fruit for brother Ling.

After Lu Gu made the bed, he turned around and saw Little Ling in the wooden cradle lying there obediently playing by himself, babbling and screaming, his fleshy right hand was scratching the air, opening and closing, and his left hand was pulling at his wrist Wei Lanxiang begged for the red string tied to his waist in the temple, both Zhao'er and he had it.

"Whose little paw is this?" Lu Gu picked up his son, gently held Ling Jun's little hand and kissed it, and then shouted outside: "Yanyan, get a basin of warm water."

"Okay." Shen Yan agreed, and not long after, even the milk fruit and the wooden basin were brought in, and Lu Gu helped Lu Gu wipe Xiaoling's little hands and face with a cloth towel.

The two of them were at home taking care of their children and washing clothes. It was almost noon when Ji Qiuyue came back to cook with Zhao'er on her back. Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing were not here today, so there were only the four of them and their two children for lunch and dinner.

As the sun set to the west, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and they all rushed home before dark.

A mule cart stepped out of the entrance of Wangli Village, and its shadow was reflected on the ground. Shen Xuanqing waved his whip and made a noise in the air, and the mule walked faster.

After running all the way back from the official road, he didn't hurry to urge the mule to continue running, and at least let him rest, and they all reached Wangli Village.

When the two of them were far away from Wangli Village, Shen Yaoqing, who was sitting in the back of the car, said, "I heard people say that Wang Anzi paid two or five yuan for pigs at his house."

Shen Xuanqing sat in front, heard the words and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Wang Anzi is from their village, it's cheaper than us, and it makes sense, and when our piggies grow up, we don't have to buy it with Li Zhuzi. "

"Twenty-six dollars, it's not too expensive, as long as the meat is sold out, we can make some money."

Shen Yaoqing nodded and said: "That's right, if it's expensive, it's worth it. I'll ask Changnan Village later. If there are two or five dollars, we'll go there to buy them next time. If they're all at this price, It's better for Wang Licun to go along the way."

Butcher shops mainly sell rabbits, but they also sell pork. On the opening day, a pig is slaughtered, and the price is cheaper. If it is cold today, the meat can be bought home and put away. It is not afraid of smelly, so the price of meat is more expensive. Pork costs between eighteen and twenty yuan a catty. They negotiated on the way back, and pork sold for fifteen yuan a catty two days before opening.

It is common for newly opened shops to sell things cheaply, but this cannot be done after the first two days, otherwise the market will be ruined.

Because the piglets in the family have only been raised for half a year, before the time for slaughter, they can only find a pig raiser to buy one or two, and start the business first.

A big pig can usually be sold for about three taels of silver after being slaughtered, and the price of meat is less than three taels. If you raise it yourself, it is more cost-effective. It is just grass to feed wheat bran and chaff, and there is no other cost, except for buying piglets. Two renminbi, it can be regarded as a net income of more than two liang, which is already very good for a countryman.

Today I went to Li Zhuzi’s house to look at the pigs, and he agreed that one head was two or six yuan. If he sold it at eighteen or twenty renminbi, he could make a net profit of three or four yuan. If the capital of the money is sold back, it would be even better if you can earn one or two dollars in the end.

The two of them were talking, Shen Xuanqing thought about it, and said: "I forgot today, I will buy pigs from Li Zhuzi next time, and I will buy a few more piglets with him. Of the four at home, one will be breeding pigs. In the second half of the year, only three pigs can be sold, which is not enough. If we go next time, we will buy piglets and big pigs to see if the big pigs can give us a little cheaper."

Shen Yaoqing thought about what he said, and said: "It's true, even if one pig is slaughtered every two months, there will be six big pigs a year."

"However, in another half a year, Huahua will be able to breed. This year is too late, so we can only make the next litter. Counting from next year, we don't ask for too much in a year, and the next two litters will be completed. There will be seven, eight, ten in one litter." , you won’t have to buy pigs from others in the future.”

Shen Xuanqing drove the mule cart around the fork in the road and headed towards Qingxi Village, and couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Huahua is the sow with two black flowers on her buttocks, because Shen Yao stays at the mansion at night, and Ji Qiuyue often lives there with Zhaoer recently, she has been feeding the pigs for a long time, and sometimes she is bored with the pigs in the same circle The pig talked, and later nicknamed the sow Black Flower.

The whole family knows that the sow will give birth to a lot of piglets for their family in the future, and they dare not delay in eating and drinking, so that they can grow fat and big if they are well served. This is not even the name Heihuahua, which is obviously different from other piglets. Pigs are different.

Three words are a bit much, Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yaoqing's mouths have become Huahua these days.

Shen Xuanqing only thought it was funny, but she didn't say anything, Xin Dao now even the pigs in the family have names, but think about it, the dogs in the family are heroes for hunting and guarding the house, everyone has a name, and in the future, spending time with piglets is also a hero , It makes sense to give it a name.

They rushed back all the way, the sun had already set, Ji Qiuyue and Zhao'er were at the big house, she had already eaten, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing unloaded the cart, and led the mule to the backyard.

"You two go, I'll carry the water." She asked Shen Yaoqing to carry Zhao'er over there, pour water and hold grass for the mule, and someone had to watch the child, otherwise he accidentally dropped it, and it didn't matter if he cried and screamed, just afraid of getting hurt looking at the child.

The two of them ate lunch at Yang's house, and they rushed back in the middle of the afternoon. They didn't stop when they passed Fenggu Town on the way, and they were hungry now.

After returning home, Shen Yan first saw the two of them enter the door and went to the kitchen to serve food. Lu Gu came out of the room holding Brother Xiaoling. Shen Xuanqing scooped up water and washed his hands. He found a chair and sat down.

"Come on, I'll hold her, you go wash." Wei Lanxiang lit a candle, took Zhao'er and hugged her in her arms.

Zhao'er didn't look at her, but turned her back to look at Father in the yard.

"You bastard, you still hold grudges against your grandma." Wei Lanxiang cursed with a smile.

Just now when Ji Qiuyue was here, Zhao'er snatched the milk fruit from Brother Xiao Ling, twisted his body and cried, and was beaten by Wei Lanxiang, and he became angry and awkward. If Ji Qiuyue took it away, it would save The leather monkey snatched his younger brother's milk and fruit, which was disgusting.

Children are like this, so they are taught slowly, and besides, they still remember to eat but not to beat. Wei Lanxiang broke a small piece of sesame shortbread for him, Zhaoer took it in his hand and ate it, and immediately laughed.

"Give it to Brother Ling, will it work?" Wei Lanxiang amused with her eldest grandson in her arms.

Zhao'er knew who her younger brother was, and she also knew who Ling Ge'er was. He scratched her face with her little hands after hearing Yan Yan's thought, and then took off a piece of shortbread crust and handed it to Lu Gu.

"Stingy!" Wei Lanxiang tapped his forehead lightly, grinning from ear to ear, this little thing, even a little bit of it, sticking to a finger, isn't enough for Xiao Ling to stick between his teeth .

"It's too generous." Lu Gu was also teasing at the side, overjoyed, Shen Xuanqing came in after washing, bent down in front of him and teased Xiao Lingjun, and then sat down to eat.

Wei Lanxiang smiled and pushed Zhao'er's hand back, and said with disgust: "Your hands are dirty, we Ling brothers don't eat them, you eat them yourself."

Shen Yaoqing washed his face and hands and came in to eat. Seeing his son making a joke, he couldn't help flicking his son's forehead. He only ate a little for his younger brother. It's really stingy.

Because the two of them had dinner, Lu Gu carried Xiao Lingjun back to his room.

When Shen Xuanqing entered the room and lay down, the night was already dark.

He lightened his hands and feet so as not to disturb his sleeping son, and after lying down comfortably, he whispered to Lu Gu what happened today.

"Dinning at the master's place at noon, Brother Yang Xian said that he met Dai Yongsheng from the gambling shop two days ago, and said hello to the shop, so he didn't have to worry about it. The hooks, a few knives, and the cauldron for the stove have been bought, and they will be placed at the master's house first."

"When I came back, I ordered a big pig at Li Zhuzi's house..."

He narrated in a low voice, Lu Gu listened carefully, the moonlight outside was accompanied by a breeze, even the dreamland was gentle.
