MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 171
As soon as Shen Xuanqing left, it was not suitable for Lu Gu to sleep alone in the big mansion. He originally wanted to move back, but together with Wei Lanxiang, Shen Xuanqing would only go up the mountain for seven or eight days at most. On the other hand, think about it and forget it, it doesn't make sense to move around, so Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan came over with the quilt and slept in another room.
There are three houses in the new house, and they are bigger than the old house, and they are more spacious. In this way, Shen Yaoqing can accompany his wife and son to sleep at night without having to be separated.
Da Hui and the others followed up the mountain. Only Da Bai and the two pups were at home, but that was enough. Although there were rogues and idlers in the village, it was because the brothers Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing were very thin in the village, how could they dare to Those who come to steal things, once caught, according to Shen Xuanqing's temperament, they can't stop without hitting someone. This is the case in the countryside, and there are young and strong men in the family who will not be bullied.
Early in the morning, Wei Lanxiang got up and went to the back to feed the pigs and livestock without resting under her feet. Living here was convenient for her to work.
Lu Gu and Shen Yan got up a little later. He put on his clothes and walked out of the room, when he heard movement in the newly built grass hut behind the house. It was Shen Yan who was cooking hot water for breakfast.
When the house was built here, there was no stove room. At that time, Shen Xuanqing didn't think much about it. He felt that since there was no separation and he had to eat in the old house, the kitchen would not need to be built. Therefore, after setting up the stove some time ago, In order to prevent wind and rain, a thatched shed was set up to cover it.
The only big things in the grass shed are the stove and the table, and then there are the bowls, chopsticks, drawers and oil and salt jars. There are rice noodles in the low house where the grain is stored, so it is normal to only pack half a bag of cloth pockets for the grass shed. For eating and drinking, because there are not many things, the grass hut is enough to display. At most, there is a breakfast here, and the serious meals are all in the old house.
Shen Yan sat in front of the stove and yawned. Hearing the footsteps, he turned to look outside, wiped the tears that overflowed from his yawn, and said, "Brother Guzi, I'll warm that ghee for you."
"Okay." Lu Gu just woke up with a slightly hoarse voice, but when he saw Shen Yan yawning, he couldn't help but slapped and stretched his waist. Today's weather is very good, the breeze is mild, and the heat and cold are just right, making people feel at ease both physically and mentally.
As soon as Shen Xuanqing left, the household chores were distributed to others. Fortunately, they hired someone to mow the grass. This important task was omitted, and the family would not be too tired. Lu Gu scooped a ladle of water into the wooden basin and waited a while. After the water was boiled, it was so warm that he poured the water and said, "I'll open the door first and wait for He Zhi and Brother Dong to come and pull the scooter."
"Okay, let's go." Shen Yan agreed, adding two more softwoods to the bottom of the stove.
Lu Gu opened the front yard door, took out the wooden threshold and placed it behind the door. The two puppies ran to the door to play. He took a look. As long as they didn't run far away, the hot water had not boiled. The front yard was swept, and Wang Langzhong reminded him that he has no patients and can walk freely. After being pregnant, he can't sit and lie down all the time, and he should move and walk.
Before the yard was cleaned, Shen Yaoqing came over. He mostly did the dirty work of sweeping manure and shoveling manure every day. The work of feeding and chopping grass could be lighter, and the rest of the family could do it.
"Big brother." Lu Gu shouted, and then said, "Have you eaten, Yanyan is boiling water."
Shen Yaoqing got up a little late today and said, "It's just right, I haven't eaten yet. Remember to keep your hands and feet light. You can just let Shen Yan do the sweeping work. Why do you need to do it yourself."
"I have nothing to do, and it's fine to move." Lu Gu smiled, he had been at the Shen's house for so long, and he was familiar with Shen Yaoqing, so he would no longer be timid when talking and chatting.
"Yeah." Seeing that what he was doing wasn't heavy work, Shen Yaoqing didn't stop him much. He went to the back to pick up the rabbit den to work. After he was busy in the morning, he still got to go around in the fields. When it arrives, the seedlings that are bred have to take a look.
After Lu Gu finished sweeping the front yard, he just leaned his broom against the wall when he heard Dabai barking outside the door twice, and then He Zhi was in a very funny mood talking to Dabai, saying that it barked early in the morning.
He and Chen Dongdong would come to pull the scooter every day, and the dogs in the family knew each other. Dabai barked twice and there was no further movement.
"Brother Dong." Lu Gu smiled when he saw Chen Dongdong walking in.
"Gu Zi, you got up so early, it's better to sleep a little longer." Chen Dongdong was still wearing clothes full of patches, but he was better than being clean. If it's warm today, it's not like winter, when more and more people go to the river to wash clothes.
He knew that Lu Gu was pregnant. He came to pull the scooter a few days ago. Most of Lu Gu got up late, so he couldn’t help asking one more question today, but no one would dislike pregnant people who sleep a little longer. think it should be.
Not to mention their Qingxi Village, even the people in the neighboring villages know that Wei Lanxiang's daughter-in-law and son-in-law are pregnant with one another. Before the Chinese New Year, she was so happy, no matter when she was buying tofu or pork, she would see a familiar person. I want to talk about it, and after going back and forth, there are not many people who know that Lu Gu is pregnant.
"It's a good day, and I can't sleep, so I'll just get up and go around and blow the wind." Seeing that he was carrying a water jar, Lu Gu added, "If you run out of water, you'd better come and scoop up the water. close to home."
Both of them are twins. After getting to know each other, they will naturally get closer. There are many fewer twins than women in the world. Compared with women who can breastfeed, husbands are sometimes not very easy to marry because they cannot breastfeed their children.
Chen Dongdong has always been timid, and his family is really poor. In the past, few people would talk to him a lot. Now, after mowing the lawn of the Shen family's second house, they can earn three copper coins with two carts. Regardless of the lack of money, they both work very hard. Working hard, even with the help of the old parents at home, one car in the morning and one car in the afternoon, three copper coins a day, 30 coins in ten days, sometimes it is not a problem to cut a three-pedal car a day, life is better than before, they The smiles on the faces of the family members were also more than before. He pursed his lips and smiled shyly, nodding his head and agreeing: "Okay, then I will go out with Dazhi first."
He Zhi had already gone to the backyard to put down the cart that was leaning against the wall. The two of them always went out to mow the grass through the back door, which was close to the river and the field.
Chen Dongdong hurriedly walked to the backyard. Lu Gu, who was behind, glanced at the puppy playing at the door. Dabai watched. They should not have run far. Hearing Shen Yan in the grass shed shouting that the water was boiling, he hurriedly went to wash his face. handwashing.
When eating the ghee, because there was only one left, he broke half of it for Shen Yan, so he couldn't eat it alone as an adult, and both of them would be happy to eat it separately.
The sun is getting higher and higher in the east, and the sky is getting brighter. The hens and ducks are brooding and hatching eggs. These are taken care of by Wei Lanxiang, and they don't need their help, which saves Shen Yan's effort to put the ducks.
Lu Gu opened the wooden gate of the cow pen and let the calf go out to eat grass. He is very careful and doesn’t let him work very much. It’s the same for him. He goes out to herd cattle every day. If it’s hot today, he won’t freeze his hands when washing vegetables and cooking. Sometimes he will go back to the old house and cook with Ji Qiuyue. meal.
Wei Lanxiang carried the grass left over from yesterday to the livestock and then filled the water tank with water. Then she took Shen Yan to the wheat field to pull weeds. Now the wheat is greener and taller every day. To hit more wheat.
After hiring He Zhi and Chen Dongdong, she gradually realized that there was too much land at home. If they were alone, they would be too busy, let alone mow the grass. Livestock needs more than one carload to eat grass every day, and sometimes two cars can be eaten. When you get up early to feed the grass, it is too late to go out to fight, so you have to set aside a part of it every night to prepare for the rain the next day. The grass naturally needs to be prepared. Hit more.
Fortunately, the wild grass, wild vegetables, and livestock that were pulled from the ground could also be eaten. How could she and Shen Yan and Shen Yaoqing get two or three bamboo baskets in one day, if Shen Xuanqing was at home, there would be more.
The sun was getting brighter, and Lu Gu felt a little sunburned, so he sat on a white stone under the tree. He heard the barking of the puppy and looked up, shouting Xiaohuang, and the two pups ran towards him.
Shen Yaoqing, who had picked up the feces, also came out from the back door. He took care of everything in the field. He had to go there every day. When he saw Lu Gu from a distance, he shouted: "Gu Zi, I have closed the front door and asked Da Bai to stay at home, you remember. Don't go far by the back door."
"Understood eldest brother." Lu Gu shouted back, Da Bai is very good, if no one in the house seldom goes out and runs around, he will find a place in the backyard to lie down and guard the house.
The water was shimmering, and sometimes the wind blew across the water. He teased the dog to herd the cattle. After a while, he suddenly heard Ji Qiuyue calling him, so he looked towards the mountain and promised to go there quickly. quick.
Ji Qiuyue carried Zhao'er and carried a bamboo basket in her hand, and before the two of them met, she smiled and said, "I was thinking that since everyone is here, I might as well cook here at noon to save money. I have to run home after a busy morning, so I won't bring the bamboo shoots and bacon here."
The sun is hot now, Zhao'er is now half a year old, and her body is not as soft and small as before, so it's better to bask in the sun outside.
The calf recognizes the house and will not run around when eating grass. Besides, there are He Zhi and Chen Dongdong who are mowing the grass not far away. They are not afraid that it will get lost. Lu Gu called to Brother Dong for help to watch the cow, and took it after hearing the promise. Bamboo basket and Ji Qiuyue went back to the house first.
Once in the main room, Ji Qiuyue unwrapped her back and carried Zhao'er to the front. Zhao'er was a little guy after all, with strong hands and feet, and sometimes he clenched something so tightly that adults couldn't pull it out of his hand.
Lu Gu put down the bamboo basket and couldn't help but want to hug him. He sees little mama every day. Zhaoer recognizes him and sticks it to Lu Gu's arms spontaneously. , it makes people happy to see it.
Ji Qiuyue sees Tian'er watching the child and holding the child. It's fine in winter, and she has family members to help her. When she's busy, she's the only one alone. Now that Zhaoer doesn't cry or make trouble in Lu Gu's arms, she's happy too. Relax.
But she also knew that such a good mother-in-law and husband like their family, she just let her take care of the children and don't have to worry about anything else. They are already the best in the world. Even in the town, many people have never enjoyed such a blessing. In the swaddles, children have to carry them to the fields to work, or they have to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, and some have to make needles and thread to earn money to support their families.
"Have the cows and sheep been fed?" she asked Lu Gu. She got up early in the morning and wore more clothes. It was a little hot in the sun all the way. She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, to see what else to do here.
Their family is not that lazy to cook. Since they came here, there are so many rabbits at home, and they have four more piglets. Sometimes Wei Lanxiang has to sit and take a breath after surviving a day. She is here today to help the family. Busy, now that the spring is warm and Zhao'er is in good health, she wants to share the burden.
Lu Gu heard what she meant, so he said, "I've fed it, I just have to be busy in the field, and there is nothing else at home. I'll just hold some for the pigs and sheep when Brother Dong and the others come back from mowing the grass."
"Okay." Ji Qiuyue nodded, the sun was really good outside, and she added, "I dried the quilt when I came here, and let it dry for you. It's better to see more sun."
Lu Gu hugged Zhao'er and shook it twice. He was also happy when he heard the child laughing. Hearing that, he nodded and agreed, "Alright."
Ji Qiuyue went into the room and hugged the quilt.
Once the winter break is over, the farmers can’t rest anymore. They have work to do every day. When there is time, Wei Lanxiang plans to buy some fragrant sesame oil back, because Lu Gu doesn’t feel fishy after eating egg custard. There was not much sesame oil left, and the day before the spring ploughing, she called Shen Yaoqing to put on a mule cart and go to the Liangzhang Bridge for a rally.
When she came back, she not only bought sesame oil and some food, but also brought back four yellow geese.
