The Sweet Little Fulang

When it was warm at noon, the family members washed their hair, took a bath in the room, Lu Gu chopped firewood and boiled water, Ji Qiuyue took care of the two children, and everyone was busy.

When the green smoke from the firewood above the stove no longer floated up, the four of Shen Xuanqing were already sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, so as to dry their hair as soon as possible.

"Don't tell me, this body seems to be two catties lighter after washing, and it feels refreshed and cool." Wei Lanxiang stroked her wet hair while combing, saying that the seedlings are planted today, and a big event can be forgotten.

"It's the same with the hair." Shen Yan also laughed. After changing into clean clothes, she felt that her hair was hanging behind her back and wet her back, so she reached out and stroked her long hair in front of her body. The cloth towel wiped again.

Lu Gu has free time now, and sits in the shade of the eaves with Brother Ling in his arms. The sun is a little bit hot at noon, and sometimes the child can't open his eyes when sitting under the sun.

"Hair has grown." He looked at Shen Xuanqing who was sitting in front of the sun and said.

"Well, it's grown." Shen Xuanqing grabbed her wet hair and lowered her eyes to look at it. She got up and went to the sewing basket on the table in the main room to find out the scissors. When she got out, she sat down again and took care of her hair with the scissors and cut it short. .

The hair cannot be cut and shaved easily, but it is possible to take care of it, in case it is too long and difficult to clean up. The countrymen all cut it themselves, and the men usually have their hair wrapped in cloth, even if it is not cut well, they will not be able to see it.

"Have you cut it?" Shen Yaoqing asked, reaching out for the scissors.

Shen Xuanqing handed him the scissors, and after drying for a while, her hair became dry and translucent, and became a little lighter. After taking a shower, it was clean and light from head to toe. So he carried the chair back and sat beside Lu Gu.

"Come on, Daddy hug." He took Brother Xiao Ling, originally wanted to kiss his son's chubby cheeks, but thinking that he didn't have time to shave these days, he gave up and just picked up his son to play with.

Brother Xiaoling laughed as soon as he was lifted up, looking extremely happy.

Zhao'er was dragging the rake around in the yard, but when she heard her younger brother laughing, she dropped the rake in her hand and came over, standing in front of Shen Xuanqing and stretching out her arms, shouting, "Hold, hug."

Without waiting for Shen Xuanqing to speak, Shen Yaoqing was currently tying her hair, and said with a smile: "Come on, daddy hugs you, don't keep fighting with your younger brother, be careful."

Zhao'er Pidianpidian walked up to her father, and giggled after being lifted above her head.

Shen Xuanqing has been staying in the town recently. Before coming back, she stayed at home for one night at most. After coming back like this, she rarely came back for a few days. She missed Lu Gu and her child, and was busy the past two days. He didn't let go, he hasn't coaxed his son like this for a while.

As for the butcher's shop in the town, it's really busy when it's busy, and there's not much to do when you're free. You can wipe the table and sweep the yard, and sharpen the knife. Yan Shi will come over to wash his clothes in his spare time. But Master and Mistress's house also has various jobs, so it's not good for him to ask Mrs. Yan to do the washing for him all the time, and he just fetches a basin of water and scrubs casually.

I am used to living in the country, everything is spacious, but the butcher's shop is small, he doesn't dislike the boundaries of the place, but sometimes it feels short and narrow everywhere, it's okay when chatting and joking with Lao Yangtou and the neighbors, once he stays alone and guards the shop , with no one to talk to and no work to do, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. To pass the time, he sharpened all the knives in the shop.

When he came back and hugged his son and ate the meal made by Fu Lang, the idea in his heart became stronger, wanting to take both Lu Gu and Brother Ling to Jixing Town.

This idea persisted for a long time, but there was only one room in the shop, the backyard was small, the drying bed and clothes were not spacious, and even the pot and stove were just a simple grass shed, so living in it would definitely not be as convenient as at home.

No matter what happened to their house, the house is spacious, not to mention the big house, Lu Gu and the child have been wronged in the past.

Brother Ling smiled and showed his small white teeth, and his big eyes were crooked, which was really distressing. Shen Xuanqing couldn't hold back, and kissed the child lightly on the face.

"Okay, daddy's arm is sore." Shen Yaoqing put down her chubby son, smiled and pinched Zhao'er's fleshy cheek.

Ji Qiuyue saw him pinching and pinching, raised her hand and hit him, staring and scolding: "The salivating bag should be broken, and I will drool when I grow up. See if you are sorry for your son."

People here often say that children's salivating buns should not be squeezed, and they will drool when they grow up.

Shen Yaoqing received a heavy blow on the back of his hand, smiled and withdrew his hand, not daring to pinch it anymore.

The whole family rested until mid-afternoon, Shen Xuanqing, Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang went to the mansion to feed the poultry and livestock. Before transplanting the rice seedlings, the calf worked hard to turn the field and plow the field. They let them rest and eat and drink for the past few days.

Shen Yan drove the ducks and geese to swim in the river, and Zhao'er wanted to go with her, so Ji Qiuyue took him with her and kept her sister-in-law as company.

After Brother Ling ate the milk fruit, Lu Gu saw him rubbing his eyes and knew that he was sleepy, so he carried the child into the house to pat him, and just as Brother Ling fell asleep, the boy who was guarding the house at the mansion ran back. I didn't see him in the courtyard, so I went straight to the house.

Lu Gu closed the door and came out with Guai Zai, lowered his head and smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

As he said that, he looked into the courtyard. He was the only one in his hometown, so he went to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of peeled peanuts for Guaizi.

He raised the good boy. When he was a puppy, he and Shen Xuanqing went into the mountains with him, and he carried it on his back wherever he went. Naturally, he would be more partial. He would eat a dozen peanuts every five or six days to satisfy his cravings. After a long time, I forgot that the boy would secretly bite his pants and drag him to the peanut hut when no one was around, as if he was clever or something.

The dogs in the family were eating well. Seeing the boy lowered his head to eat peanuts, Lu Gu couldn't help rubbing the dog's head. The fur was smooth and smooth, and the ears were soft, as easy to pinch as before.

It was already afternoon, he played with the dog for a while, Shen Xuanqing was at home, he didn't need his help in the mansion, so he just rolled up his sleeves and went to the vegetable field in the front yard to pull a spring vegetable. I had lunch early today, and I must be hungry early, or Prepare meals ahead of time.

The spring plowing was over, and the family breathed a sigh of relief. They went to bed at night and felt that they slept more soundly than usual.

Brother Ling slept for less than two quarters of an hour in the afternoon, and there was not much noise at night. After blowing out the candle lamp, Shen Xuanqing lay down and slept soundly. Lu Gu still slept next to him, with the child in the innermost.

"I'll discuss something with you." He whispered, smelling the scent of balm on Lu Gu's face, he couldn't help leaning over to kiss him, and then said seriously: "I still have a few hundred taels of silver in my hand, take A few dozen taels is enough to buy a small house in the town, and I want to take you and Brother Ling to live there."

Lu Gu was stunned for a moment, going to live in the town?

"Let's live together." Shen Xuanqing said again, with an irrepressible smile in her tone.

"The family still has a lot of work to do." Lu Gu hesitated.

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said: "At home, you take the children to cook and wash, but you are not allowed to do other tasks, such as spring plowing and autumn harvesting, it is fine for us to come back."

"Besides, when I go there, I don't have to worry about eating and washing. She is old and her legs and feet are not good. She still thinks that I am alone in the shop, and there is no one to do the laundry. After you go, she doesn't have to worry about it."

"It's okay to say that the butcher is busy. Once the busyness is over, I have nothing to do there. I will guard the shop and hold the baby while you are cooking, so you won't be too tired."

Moving to the town, Lu Gu felt uneasy. He was used to living in the country, and he had become familiar with the villagers in the past few years, but after hearing Shen Xuanqing's words, he also felt that he should go.

"Now that Brother Ling is older, it's pretty good to ride in a mule cart. Didn't the two of us talk about it before? Brother Ling will study in the future. Isn't that why he opened a shop for this? What does it matter if he lived in the town two years earlier?"

In order to bring her husband and the child there, Shen Xuanqing talked a lot to persuade her for a while.

Lu Gu didn't have too many ideas. In fact, for him, it didn't matter whether he was at home or went to Jixing Town with Shen Xuanqing. After a few words, he was convinced, and he just asked: "Then you, mother, and brother?" Did you tell me?"

"Not yet, wait until tomorrow morning. I'm not in a hurry to buy a house. I'll find a good one before moving in. The shop can't be opened in a small place, and the house needs to have a yard at worst. At least I can dig out a piece of land to grow and order vegetables, which is enough for us. You can eat both." Shen Xuanqing said in a low voice.

There are many houses of various kinds in the town, some small and some big, he knows some of them. Although the house of Old Yangtou’s house is not too many, it has a front and back yard. He wanted to buy a house like this for tying the animals and keeping firewood, at least it would be more spacious and not cramped and cramped.

"Yeah." Lu Gu listened carefully to what he said, and his apprehension gradually faded away. Thinking of living in the town and being able to see their Er Qing every day, even his eyebrows and eyes were slightly smiling.

The next morning, before the sun came out, Shen Xuanqing woke up. He was going to Jixing Town today, and he had to drag a dozen or twenty rabbits there.

The matter of taking Lu Gu and the child to the town was said to be discussed with Wei Lanxiang, but in fact he had secretly decided it himself.

"Going to town?" Wei Lanxiang helped carry the rabbit cage onto the cart, and suddenly heard what the second son said, and lowered his head to think about it, the second boy only comes back to stay for two or three nights a month now, so he stays there more , no one cooks and makes beds, and it's not very good to go to his master's house for dinner.

So she sighed softly, and said, "That's the reason. I don't worry if you have Gu Zi looking at you, even Brother Ling is going?"

Shen Xuanqing originally thought that she would have to say a few more words, but she nodded, and said with a smile: "Go, stay with Guzi, I can help you when I'm not busy."

Wei Lanxiang was a little bit reluctant to part with her little grandson. She sometimes went out to visit, and she was used to holding one in her arms and holding the other in her hand. Suddenly there was no baby crying in her ear, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her reluctance, Shen Xuanqing said with a smile: "Isn't there still a mule cart at home, mother, if you miss Brother Ling, let the eldest brother drive you there, or you will see me."

"That's true." Wei Lanxiang was relieved at once. She thought that Jixing Town was too far away, and she didn't even think about the mule cart. Now it's not the past. There are cars everywhere, no need to walk, which is convenient.

As for Shen Yaoqing, if it was him, he would also like Ji Qiuyue and Zhao'er together, let alone stop him.

After the mule cart was ready, at the gate of the house, Shen Xuanqing greeted the family and drove the mule forward.

Wei Lanxiang watched him go away, and suddenly remembered that the second son said that he wanted to buy a house in the town. He didn't know if he had any money in his hand. Then he thought again, Shen Xuanqing was always stable, and if he didn't have money, he wouldn't mention the house at all. Just settle down and stop worrying about things, young people have their own ideas.
