The Sweet Little Fulang

At the entrance of Pearl Alley, Shen Yan and Guaizai went down first, and Shen Xuanqing led the mule to the back of the alley.

Before reaching the door of the sixth courtyard, she saw Lu Gu coming out of the door with a bamboo basket, she said happily, "Brother Gu Zi."

Seeing her, Lu Gu smiled and said, "Come in, sister-in-law and the two children are at home. I'll go out and buy some food. We'll have stewed tofu at noon. Do you want to eat boiled meatballs? There's still some pork at home, wait." It won't be too late for me to come back."

Woke up early and was cold. Brother Ling had a stomach ache and was uncomfortable today. He was crying and crying. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, he just fell asleep and had time to buy groceries.

The boy hadn't seen him for a few days, so he ran over to rub his legs.

The tofu shop is on Nanji Street, not too far away. Lu Gu bought a few pieces of tofu and a fish quickly with the dog and came back. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Shen Xuanqing sitting at a stone table drinking hot tea, his eyebrows were curved , showing a nice smile.

He held the bamboo basket in one hand and the fish in the other, and put it down in the kitchen before he came over and sat beside him and asked, "Did you get up early?"

Shen Xuanqing held the steaming teapot to keep warm, she poured a bowl for him when she saw him coming, and said with a smile: "Eat, the wind is cold on the road, just drink some hot tea."

Hearing Shen Yan playing with Zhao'er in the East Wing, Lu Gu rushed into the room and shouted: "Yanyan, would you like some drink too?"

"I have it here." Shen Yan agreed.

That being the case, he didn't care anymore, seeing that Shen Xuanqing's hands were cold, he said: "You often drive a car, and it's inconvenient to use a sleeve to beat a whip and hold a rope. I'm free these two days, and I have a lot of rabbit fur at home. Auntie asked, see how those leather gloves are made, and make a pair for you."

How can ordinary people afford fur goods? Fortunately, Shen Xuanqing is a hunter, and their family sells rabbits, so there are not many rabbit furs.

Mrs. Liu is a native of Jixing Town, her family has a little money, and she has seen a lot of the world. The richer and richer families, in addition to fur collars, also use leather goods to make gloves in winter. The five fingers are separated and wrapped tightly. It is much more convenient than the tube sleeves that can only be stuffed with your hands, and you will not be afraid of the cold after wearing them.

He chatted with Mrs. Liu two days ago, and when she heard her say such a thing, Shen Xuanqing's hands were cold, so he remembered it.

The countryman has never seen this kind of thing, and he has to think carefully before letting him make it himself, but there are a lot of rabbit skins in the house, so even if one or two pieces are broken, it will not be a big problem.

Or maybe you can try to cut and sew with cheap burlap first, and then start with fur after you know how to do it, wouldn't it be better.

While drinking hot tea, Lu Gu frowned and pondered. When it comes to needlework, his various ideas are still quite vivid.

Because Shen Yan came, there was an extra piece of steamed fish for lunch.

"fish."

Brother Ling sat in Lu Gu's arms, pointed his little finger at the fish on the table, and shouted a word in a childish voice. In August, he and Zhao'er celebrated their birthdays one after the other. Now one is one year old and the other is two years old. It is the age to speak.

"Okay." Lu Gu picked up some white and tender fish meat, and after careful inspection, there were no small thorns, so he gave it to the child.

Brother Xiaoling has grown up a bit, after all, he is younger than Zhaoer, and he is just over one year old, so he doesn't speak so neatly. Sometimes Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing teach him and he is still unwilling to learn, but once it is related to eating, remember that it is called a happy , just like a fish, he will say he knows what it is after teaching it once.

On the other side, Ji Qiuyue was also picking up fish for Zhaoer. The two milk dumplings were very obedient as long as there was something in their mouths or in their own small wooden bowls when they ate.

The wooden bowl was made by Zhao'er after she broke several bowls at home. Wei Lanxiang asked a carpenter to make it for her. The two brothers each had one. Although the bowls are not expensive, they cost money if they were dropped too much. The wooden bowl is better. Bu Ji Qiuyue brought him to live in the town, even the wooden bowl.

Now that the two children can eat a little bit of food, Lu Gu doesn't often put spicy peppers in cooking, and the steamed fish is also for the children to eat a few bites.

The fish meat is so tender that it can move when you sip it. It is better than boiled meatballs, but Zhaoer still ate two meatballs.

Lingjun still mainly eats milk and fruit now, because he is a little boy, he can eat less, and his stomach is uncomfortable, so he only ate a few small mouthfuls of fish, and when he was fed again, he turned his head away and refused to eat, even the half of his hand He stopped chewing on a steamed bun, and sat on Lu Gu's lap to play, breaking the steamed buns everywhere.

As soon as he looked down and saw his son ruining the food, Lu Gu couldn't stand it anymore, took the broken steamed bun out of his hand, and said, "Okay, I won't eat it for your father."

Shen Xuanqing took it for granted, stretched out her big hand and let Brother Ling put it in his palm.

"Daddy, daddy." Brother Xiaoling laughed, and put the shattered steamed buns into his father's hands. He can now call Amu and Adie. Every time she heard it, Shen Xuanqing's heart seemed to melt, and there was a constant smile on her face.

"Hey, good, daddy eats daddy." He happily took his son's broken steamed buns, and being called out like this a few times, he couldn't feel disgusted at all, as if he was happy.

Lu Gu didn't dislike his son, but when he was drinking the meatball soup just now, after putting down the bowl, Lingge'er's little hand yelled, and put his finger into the soup bowl on the table, and he stopped moving after holding it down. It was oily, and the steamed buns were broken into pieces again, so Shen Xuanqing should just let them eat.

"I'm done eating, let's go first." Shen Yaoqing put down the bowl, he ate quickly and had nothing else to do, he went to the shop first and opened the door, business was important.

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing said: "I'll pull down the rabbit and kill it later, you don't have to worry about it."

"En." Shen Yaoqing nodded, got up and didn't leave immediately, flicked his fingers under Zhao'er's forehead, and saw his son covering his forehead with both hands, he was immediately happy.

"Go!" Ji Qiuyue was annoyed that he always provoked his son, and sometimes deliberately provoked the crying child. If he couldn't coax him, she would have to come, so he gave her a glare and said, "Go, go, it's annoying."

Shen Yaoqing was disliked, he knew that he was cheap, but sometimes he wanted to tease his son when he was free, and now he was scolded, and saw his daughter-in-law glaring at him, looking not to be trifled with, he rubbed his nose and smiled and quickly ran away .

In the afternoon, Shen Yan and the others wanted to go home before dark, so after dinner, Lu Gu quickly finished washing the dishes, and then he and Ji Qiuyue took her to the embroidery workshop to sell handkerchiefs.

Shen Xuanqing went to the backyard to use a cart to pull the rabbit to the butcher shop to slaughter and skin it, so as not to dirty the house, he didn't have a mule, so he pulled it away by himself.

Lu Gu locked the gate of the courtyard and let Guaizi look after the house. Shen Yan hugged Brother Ling, his arms were light, and he only held a small cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand.

The embroidery shop we talked about is on Dongxing Street. The sun is good at noon, and there is no wind, so there are more pedestrians on the road.

There are various stalls on both sides of the street. The sun is strong in summer, and the wind is strong in autumn and winter. They either set up sheds or cover them with big umbrellas. The big green cloth umbrellas block the sun. Some sheds are well built and can also cover Wind and rain.

Shen Yan has been to Jixing Town several times, but she is not as familiar with Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue. She hasn't been out for a long time, so she has to look twice when she sees everything.

Compared to before, she is obviously more stable now, when she sees something she doesn't know, she asks Lu Gu softly, she is not shy and embarrassing, she is open and generous, smiling all the way, very happy.

"slim Shady."

After walking for a while, Brother Ling stretched out his arm for Lu Gu to hug, and the two exchanged hands.

When passing by the cloth shop, Shen Yan said with a smile: "When I went out, my mother gave me money to bring some good cloth back. She made two new clothes for Zhao'er and Ling Ge'er in her free time, and kept a good one for the New Year. Wear new clothes."

"What's so difficult about it, just come out of the embroidery workshop and buy it." Ji Qiuyue said, and then said: "The embroidery workshop also sells cloth, but it is more expensive than the cloth shop. Let's go to the cloth shop to see, and there are more cloth materials. It’s good to pick something similar.”

"En." Shen Yan nodded.

The three of them were chatting and laughing as they walked, and when they saw a sugar seller, Zhao'er knew what it was, and she was dishonest in Ji Qiuyue's arms, so she called her mother anxiously: "Mother, mother, candy."

"It's not that I just had dinner." Ji Qiuyue was a little reluctant to buy it for her. She lived in the town and had to go out to play every day. Every time she came out, Zhao'er had to buy something, for fear that the child would be spoiled and there was no way to spend money.

But Zhao'er cried and insisted, Shen Yan has some private money now, more than enough to buy a sugar figurine, hugged Zhao'er with a smile, and said, "Auntie will buy it for you, okay?"

"Okay." Zhao'er agreed with a crispy voice, holding her neck with both hands.

"Why doesn't my aunt want to hug you in the morning? You Tang is now married to your aunt again?" Ji Qiuyue laughed at her son, saying: "If you eat aunt's sugar, if you dare to be misbehaving tomorrow, I will let my aunt beat you up. "

After buying the candy figurine, Zhao'er was at peace, but Lu Gu was a little afraid that Brother Ling would also eat it. The child was too young, and he had a stomachache again today, so he couldn't eat candy figurines or anything like that.

Fortunately, Brother Ling has an upset stomach and doesn't care much about eating. After eating a few mouthfuls of food just now, he glanced at the candy figurine in Zhao'er's hand and was not interested. Voice.

In front is the embroidery workshop, and Ji Qiuyue reached out to take Zhao'er.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the proprietress of the embroidery shop standing behind the counter, Lu Gu smiled and said, "Master Zhou, my sister has embroidered some handkerchiefs, please take a look."

The last time Shen Xuanqing came to the embroidery shop to talk about business, he also followed, so he knew the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Zhou is a straightforward woman, she speaks without ambiguity, and has a good temper. She smiles a little when she sees everyone and doesn't look down on her.

The embroidery shop is for business, and when the embroidery work is sent by the embroidery lady outside, she must have a look at it, as long as it is a good thing and can be sold, she will naturally accept it.

Shen Yan took twenty handkerchiefs this time. She had to do other work at home, and it took her a long time to save these. When Lu Gu taught her, she said to calm down and take her time. Embroidery work cannot be rushed, she firmly remembered , all twenty handkerchiefs are well embroidered.

"It's all good." Shopkeeper Zhou looked up after reading it, counted the money from the counter with a smile, handed it over, and said, "If you still have more in the future, remember to come again."

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper." Shen Yan took the eighty coins, his almond eyes slightly curved.

Her appearance is not bad, although she is not glamorous and charming, but she has bright eyes and white teeth, and the smile in her eyes adds a bit of brilliance, which is very pleasing.

She sold [-] articles at once, and Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue were also happy for her.

Lu Gu said goodbye to shopkeeper Zhou, carried brother Ling and walked out with them, and whispered: "It's good to put it away, you can use the money yourself."

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded heavily, with a smile on his brows and eyes.

They walked out the door, never wanting to bump into a young scholar who was about to enter.

My fair lady, a smile blooms.

When Gu Chengyue caught a glimpse of Shen Yan's smiling face behind him, he was immediately stunned, his mind could not turn, and his hands and feet seemed to be disobedient.

He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Seeing that it was a woman and her husband, he hurried to the side to give way. Because he almost bumped into Ji Qiuyue who was holding the child, he bowed his mouth and confessed: "There are so many offenses, so many offenses. I hope you will forgive me."

Ji Qiuyue stopped when he almost bumped into him, and was not happy about his offense. How could anyone walk without looking at people, not to mention the three of them walked out of the door and talked while walking, how could they not hear, and It's not that it was quiet and there was no movement, but fortunately it didn't really bump into it.

Seeing the scholar bowing and pleading guilty, looking eager and frightened, it really didn't seem like it was intentional, so she had to give up and said: "Okay, you who bent and bowed, you must watch the road from now on. "

"Definitely." Gu Chengyue smiled apologetically, and when he raised his head, his eyes involuntarily fell on the curious Shen Yan's face. He was a scholar, knew etiquette, and didn't dare to look at others.

Speaking of which, both Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing have studied, and there are private schools in the countryside. During the winter leisure, the boys in the village go to study. Shen Yan has seen it before, but the young white man dressed as a scholar like this looks like he is studying in the town. I haven't seen a few, so I'm a little curious.

"Let's go, pull the cloth first, and then go to the shop to have a look." Ji Qiuyue said while walking, and the three of them gradually moved away.

Gu Chengyue waited for them to walk away, and stood blankly at the gate of the embroidery workshop, but he didn't even dare to look at his back, only four words remained in his heart, a gentleman is so good.
