The Sweet Little Fulang

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the coolness of late autumn became more and more serious. It happened that there was no wind today, and the sun was still quite bright. It was indeed a good day.

The second bedroom of the Shen family has been scattered in two places for more than half a year, and today it is rare and complete.

Early in the morning, because everything is dead and quiet, there is not so much work in the crop fields. Except for those who go up the mountain to dig sweet roots, many people gradually start to move after the sun comes out.

Brother Ling went to bed early at night, and now he can turn over and crawl, and when he wakes up, he lays on Lu Gu's chest and calls E'Mu, his little face is also very close.

The adult is usually busy here and there, sometimes he is tired, Lu Gu closed his eyes, he has long been used to his son waking up so early, and wanted to sleep for a while without making a sound, but his cheek was scratched a few times by a small hand.

"Em, M."

Ling Ge'er is not yet very fluent in speech, and sometimes swallows words and speaks vaguely, but he can't help calling him all the time.

Lu Gu opened his eyes helplessly, removed the little hand that was scratching his cheek, and saw their little spirits smiling at him, just smiling and drooling a little.

He picked up the child and let him sit firmly on the bed before he could get up. As soon as he sat up, he reached for the handkerchief on the bedside and wiped Ling Ge'er's mouth.

It's still early, Lu Gu didn't forget about today's business, dressed himself and the child, and the first thing he did was to take the child to the yard to pee.

Shen Xuanqing got up earlier than the two of them, filled the tank with water and was chopping firewood. When he saw his son coming out, he smiled and whistled to tease Brother Ling.

Xiao Lingjun looked at Father, and kept laughing in Lu Gu's arms, clapping his two little hands, very happy.

"Mother said it's hot for breakfast over there. I'll wash the milk and tie it open. You'll eat it with Yanyan after feeding." He said while picking up the firewood that had been chopped on the ground, and carried them into the firewood room and piled them up. , and took the broom to sweep the sawdust into a pile, and gathered them in front of the firewood pile outside the woodshed.

He put the broom against the wall and said, "I'm here today. I'll go over there to do some work first. I'll finish feeding the animals early, and I'll clean them up later."

Brother Ling finished urinating, Lu Gu got up and agreed: "Okay, got it, you can go."

After Shen Xuanqing left, he got up early and it was cold outside. He carried the child into the main room, saw the milk fruit in the bowl on the table, and sat at the table to feed Brother Ling to eat first, and then shouted to Wei Lanxiang's room: " Yanyan, are you up yet?"

"Get up." Shen Yan was getting dressed, she felt uneasy, she heard Shen Xuanqing leaving just now, so only she and Lu Gu were left at home.

"Brother Guzi, do you think I can do this?" She came out after putting on her new clothes, her hair still uncombed.

Seeing her nervous and worried expression, Lu Gu himself felt a little uneasy. Unlike the other girls, he never met Shen Xuanqing at all, and he never went through this battle.

He looked it over carefully and said, "Well, there are new pairs of shoes, I remember my mother brought them out for you last night."

Hearing what he said, Shen Yan was a little relieved, she let out a breath, and said, "I'll change it later, it's more important to comb my hair first."

"Okay, they didn't arrive until late, it's just the right time, don't rush, take your time." Lu Gu comforted her a few words.

Today's top priority is that Gu Chengyue is going to come to see Shen Yan, and he has already agreed with Sanfang that Shen Yan will be allowed to come over then, and pretend to do needlework in Shen Yu's room with the window open.

Gu Chengyue wanted to help Shen Shunwang's family carry water and chop firewood, because he was a scholar, and his family was in Jixing Town, not a rural farmer's family, so he didn't have to carry wood and dig the ground. He only needed to hoe the vegetable field in Shen Shunwang's front yard.

It's the custom here, to work a bit so that people know that the son-in-law is strong and strong, as long as he can work hard and work hard, at least he won't die of starvation.

Shen Xuanqing has already found out the situation of the Gu family. It was not a wealthy family like the ordinary farming family in the town, but it has gradually accumulated a fortune over the years. A woman who cooks and a woman who sweeps and sweeps.

Gu Chengyue's father sells incense, candles, paper money, and can also make paper people and paper horses. He is a craftsman, and this craft can be eaten, so he doesn't worry about making a living at all.

Because there is a mother-in-law at home, the women's family members don't need to cook and clean, and their lives are much better than those in the country. However, their family has opened a shop, and sometimes they are busy. Both sons, daughters, and Mrs. Gu have to help cut paper and paste it. They are hard-working and down-to-earth people.

Gu Chengyue is not only good at studying, but also has the ability to make a fuss. Shen Xuanqing specially asked someone to inquire about it. If he has a good skill, he will have many ways to make a living.

The third son of the Yan family, Yang Yi, is a teacher in the academy in Jixing Town, but the academy is big, and there are several teachers. He has never taught Gu Chengyue, and Shen Xuanqing also asked him. He learned that he is of good character and has several classmates. The popularity in the academy is not bad, but if he can talk and laugh outside, he must not be a bookworm who only knows how to study.

After asking so many times, I finally accepted the words of Sun Matchmaker over there, otherwise I don't feel at ease.

Lu Gu fed Brother Ling to eat milk and fruit, and waited for Shen Yan to tidy up.

After they arrived at the big house, the others had already eaten, leaving eggs and pancakes in the pan.

Ji Qiuyue took Zhao'er to chop grass to feed the chickens, and when they saw the two of them coming, she asked Zhao'er to play with her aunt and mother, so as not to make trouble in front of her.

Shen Yan didn't have to work today, she was wearing new clothes, so how could she see anyone if it got dirty.

Lu Gu and her are in the main room with their two children. Zhao'er can run now, and she is a monkey. She is not at all restless. She is either digging soil in the front yard or pedaling through the main room from the front yard, chasing down the family dogs. .

Dahui has always been impatient with dogs and puppies. After being chased by Zhaoer, he ran away and went to the backyard in no time. With several other dogs accompanying her, Zhao'er would not think of getting up to look for it.

The dogs in the family have different temperaments, like the boy, who is still not very stable at such a big age. When Zhaoer chased him, he ran wildly. All had fun.

The dogs gave way to Zhao'er, seeming to be chased after him, but they were actually playing.

"Slow down, fall carefully."

Both Lu Gu and Shen Yan were yelling, bringing Zhao'er over and holding him down, for fear that he would fall and hit him, but he didn't want to, because he was playing happily, twisted his body and said that he wanted to play again, but he couldn't be coaxed, so he had to let go up.

Brother Ling was one year younger and had just learned to walk. When he saw Zhaoer running around, he groaned and got off Lu Gu's lap, but he couldn't run, he couldn't even walk steadily, and he didn't have the courage The younger one didn't dare to move around, so he walked a few steps while supporting the table.

After Zhao'er ran for a while, Lu Gu was afraid that he would go crazy and forget about it. There are steps on the front and back eaves of the main room. The adults are fine, but the child can't run steadily. This pastry tasted slightly salty and crispy, Brother Ling broke off a small half, and he held the remaining half and pretended to stuff it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious."

Zhao'er was chasing the dog at first, but when she heard that someone was eating, she immediately turned her head.

"Xiao Nao." He ran over and called out sweetly, without anyone's instruction.

Lu Gu smiled and said, "You have to sit down comfortably when eating cakes. Look at my brother, as long as you sit down obediently, I'll eat it for you."

Zhao'er blushed slightly from running, and when she heard this, she raised her butt and pressed it on the small bench, and then reached out to grab it.

"Eat slowly, and no one will grab you, drink some water." Lu Gu handed him the water bowl.

After running for a while, Zhao'er was indeed thirsty, so she didn't need to persuade her, and started to drink in big gulps.

There were two children making trouble and crying, and Shen Yan temporarily let go of her nervous heart, because she had a major event today, and Lu Gu didn't let her hold brother Ling, the children were too young, and they didn't look at people when they peed.

As the sun rose higher, Shen Shunwang's house had already been tidied up. After feeding the poultry, Wei Lanxiang simply took Shen Yan over, carrying a sling of meat and a fish in his hand. Shen Yan carried two baskets, the small ones It is a sewing basket, the larger one is filled with rice, bamboo shoots, cabbage and eggs.

Today, he pretended to call Gu Chengyue to come over to work for Shen Shunwang's family, so he naturally had to take care of his family's meal, which was usually provided by the girl's house, so he just took the things and cooked them.

The fish is a big one. Shen Yaoqing bought it from a neighbor in the village yesterday. The meat was cut yesterday, and there is a lot of it. There are also a lot of rice and vegetables. Two meat and two vegetables plus an egg soup are enough for Shen Shunwang's family and the Gu family. Those who come eat.

"Second sister-in-law." Zhou Xiangjun was tidying up the sweet corn roots, persimmons and sun-dried wild berries on the window sill. It's too messy for someone to come, so he quickly caught things when he saw them coming in.

He glanced at Shen Yan and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is in the room, I just asked why you didn't come."

"Grandma, I'll go right away." Shen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, she understood Zhou Xiangjun's smile, and she rarely showed a shy look like her daughter's.

Wei Lanxiang has already met Gu Chengyue. He looks good, is not short in stature, and is a scholar. His speech and conversation are completely different from the country men she is used to. He is gentle and courteous, and his family is well-off. The shop is in the house of the in-laws I've been looking for, so it's really good.

She also met Miss Gu Chengyue, who spoke softly. As for the two younger siblings, the third brother is ten years old, and the fourth sister is seven years old, they are still too young. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't nod Shen Yan and Gu Chengyue to look at each other.

Zhou Xiangjun walked to the kitchen with his things, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, today we only see what Yanyan wants, and the child will be able to do things if he is willing."

Wei Lanxiang sighed softly, nodded and said: "No, by the way, there are too many meat and vegetables, and the fish can't move. Remember to serve other dishes for Brother Yu and Xinlian first, and don't ask the two children to eat leftovers Leftovers."

Shen Yu is not yet married, and she is also looking for her in-law's family recently. There is a strange man on the table to avoid suspicion. Zhou Xiangjun thinks it is pitiful for him to eat alone, so he simply asks Chen Xinlian to accompany him to eat in the room. Wei Lanxiang knew about this, so he ordered more One sentence.

Not long after, Lu Gu asked Shen Xuanqing, who had finished sweeping the front and back yards, to hold the baby, and he and Ji Qiuyue came to Sanfang's house. They washed vegetables and cut meat, and let the two elders, Wei Lanxiang and Zhou Xiangjun, go to rest.

After being busy for a while, the village drove into a carriage, which attracted the attention of many people. Gu Chengyue and his big brother Gu Chengyuan arrived, and everyone in Qingxi Village knew that this was a man who came to see him.

The carriage stopped in front of the Shen family's third-bedroom courtyard, and Shen Yuping came out to meet them and took them in.

Shen Yan, who was staying in Shen Yu's room, heard the movement, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. They were not the only ones in the room, Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue were also there.

"Don't worry, I'll open the window for you later, and you'll be fine after just a few glances. If it's too late, I'll close it for you again. Don't be afraid." Ji Qiuyue said with a smile.

Lu Gu didn't go through this experience, so naturally she didn't have any idea, so he just listened at the side. Seeing that Shen Yan was uneasy, he felt a little nervous along with him for no reason. Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yaoqing had been to Gu's house, and the Gu family had also been to their hometown. , but like Shen Yanji Qiuyue, he hasn't met Gu Chengyue yet.

I don't know what kind of person their sister-in-law will marry in the future.

After the four of them saw Gu Chengyue who came back with two buckets, except for Shen Yu who was puzzled, the other three looked at each other. They never thought that it was the young man who almost bumped into Ji Qiuyue at the gate of the embroidery workshop that day. scholar.

After being taken aback, Ji Qiuyue laughed all of a sudden, and only heard Wei Lanxiang say that she looks upright, neither black nor ugly, a scholar who is white and clean. Fortunately, she and Lu Gu were still thinking about what Gu Chengyue looked like when they were at home. seen.

Shen Yan's nervousness all dissipated, and she also found it a little funny for no reason, and was worried for several days in vain.

But after Gu Chengyue looked over, such a fair and handsome man smiled at her.

Although the man outside the window was a little shy, his eyes were bright and he was full of energy. She hurriedly moved her eyes away, but even her cheeks and neck were slightly red.

Ji Qiuyue was watching from the side, and she pouted her lips quietly at Lu Gu, the two of them secretly laughed, and then she closed the window, otherwise the sister-in-law's face would turn red.

Gu Chengyue was carrying water and chopping firewood, and later he had to hoe the ground. Even if he was alone, he worked very hard, for fear that his mother-in-law and his family would look down on him.

While he was working, Gu Chengyuan and Shen Yuping and Shen Shunwang drank water and chatted. Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing also came over, both of them hugging their son.

Although Gu Chengyue is a frail scholar, he is a man after all, and his hands are still strong. It is not a problem to carry two buckets of water at a time. He looks like an old hand at work, and he does not have half the pampering of a young master. Shen Xuanqing turned to look at Shen Yaoqing , Seeing the elder brother nodding slightly, he knew it in his heart.

The water tank was not full yet, Shen Yuping scooped out all the water at the bottom of the tank last night, and when Shen Yaoqing came over, he even took his cousin to the kitchen to have a look, young men are like this, sometimes they like to make a fuss.

It's not too much to toss about the person you're looking at, and it's not too much, Shen Yaoqing laughed and called him a chicken thief, but didn't care too much.

While Gu Chengyue went out to fetch water again, Shen Yan and the others came out of the room. They were all women and children, and when they saw Gu Chengyuan, they just nodded slightly and didn't need to talk much.

Gu Chengyue didn't have money in his family since he was a child. He went to the fields with his parents when he was a child.

Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing saw it in their eyes, but they said nothing on their faces, and they knew it in their hearts.
