MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 210
The river surface reflects the sparkling light, and the boy wearing a bamboo hat on the bank to herd cows picks up small stones and floats the water. The woman and the husband are pounding clothes and laughing at the gentle part of the river. The man carrying the water is either carrying a wooden bucket or a pole .
Groups of ducks and geese were swimming in the water for food. Shen Yan and Chen Xinlian watched the ducks together on the shore, so as not to mix with other people's families or be caught.
She picked up the fish basket and touched the snails and snails. If it was hot today, she would not be afraid of the cold water.
The fish basket was half full, she squatted for a long time and stood up to rest, then shook the water in her hands, and said, "Sister Lian, come back tomorrow, let's go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and if you dig more, you can sell some money. "
"Okay, it just so happens that Er Yuping is going to cut a bamboo fence in two days. There will be many people on the road." Chen Xinlian nodded. She has been married for so long, and she has become familiar with the Shen family. She is no longer as shy and shy as when she first got married.
Xiao Huang ran over from the grazing calf, and Shen Yan rubbed its head, which was fluffy.
"Wang!"
Suddenly there were several barks from the mountain in the distance. Xiao Huang raised his ears and looked towards the mountain. He heard the voices of Da Hui. It responded with a bark and wagged its tail, and then ran over there.
"Second brother is back." Shen Yan said in surprise, the calf was still grazing nearby, and she did not leave.
Xiao Huang ran away, the dog was smart enough to find Shen Xuanqing.
"Sister Lian, I'm going back first. The second brother will definitely want to eat when he comes back. My mother is still in the field, so I have to call her." Swimming ducks and geese rushed to the shore.
"Cow, go home."
She shouted at the calf who was grazing not far away, and the calf flicked its tail and looked up, understood the words and walked back while eating.
Chen Xinlian nodded: "Well, go back quickly."
When they got down the hillside and saw their old house not far away, the three dogs couldn't hold back and rushed towards the house first.
"Wang!"
Seeing the dogs spinning around the door, barking at the inside, they knew that Shen Yan and Wei Lanxiang were not here, and without him yelling, the dogs ran towards the mansion.
For half an afternoon, every household was busy, either going to the ground or going up the mountain to get some wild and wild vegetables. There were not many people who could chat at the door of the house. When he was leading the dwarf deer, Shen Yan was waiting in front of the big house.
"Second brother, the tea has been poured for you, and the basin is also filled with water. I will go to the field and call my mother to come back." After she finished smiling, she glanced at the male dwarf deer whose scalp was blood-stained, and then hurried to the field. go inside.
After entering, Shen Xuanqing didn't bother to go to the backyard, and tied the dwarf deer in the corner of the front yard. Xiao Huang and Huang'er barked at the dwarf deer twice.
He picked up the tea bowl and drank it, wiped the spilled water, and felt happy.
After washing their hands and face and sitting for a while, Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan came back, rolled up their sleeves while talking, and went to the back to cook for him.
Shen Xuanqing sat there and took out the things in the bamboo basket, and shouted to the back: "Mother, scrambled eggs and cut a few chili peppers."
"Sure, I see." Wei Lanxiang's voice came from the kitchen behind.
After drinking the water, the good boys lay down in the shade and rested, panting with their tongues out. The dwarf deer was crippled, unable to stand after being chained, and lay on the ground vigilantly watching the two yellow dogs wandering around it.
Shen Yan put a small drawer in the pot, put six large steamed buns, and set it on fire from the mud stove.
Wei Lanxiang cut the chili and beat the eggs. She didn't need to be busy. After filling the stove with firewood, she went into the main room and filled Shen Xuanqing's water bowl, saying, "The meal is coming soon, my mother and I are cooking at noon for the past two days. I have an extra bowl ready for you, and when the eggs are scrambled, just heat the bowl of vegetables in a spoon, and the steamed buns will heat up quickly."
"Okay." Shen Xuanqing smiled and chatted with her a few homely things: "This male deer is quite temperamental, his legs are lame and he wants to hit people with his horns.
He took out something wrapped in a big leaf from the bamboo basket, which was quite large, with a brighter smile on his face, and said, "Honey Nest, it's a big one, keep some for the family, and I'll bring the rest."
Shen Yan took it, put it on the table, opened it, saw the honey flowing out of the crack, and tasted it with her fingertips, then her almond eyes curved slightly, and said, "It's really sweet."
"The honey pot is in the old house, I'll go get it." She said and got up.
"Here." Shen Xuanqing took out a few more mountain fruits from the bamboo basket.
Shen Yan grabbed two. Seeing that the fruit was not dirty, he wiped it with a handkerchief while walking, and then bit it up.
Not to mention staying at home overnight, the next morning, after the mule cart was set up, Shen Xuanqing went to the sheepfold to catch the grown lamb, tied the four hooves and put it on the board with the dwarf deer. In the car, pigs and sheep are raised for the purpose of selling money, and the same is true when pigs are raised when the time comes.
Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan helped pack up the things he was going to bring, and then saw him off at the door.
Shen Xuanqing said: "If you are too busy, go to my third uncle and Yuping. My elder brother and I are killing sheep in the shop, selling them for a day and then letting him come back. Bring some mutton when the time comes."
"I know, don't worry, go quickly." Wei Lanxiang agreed.
He drove the car to Jixing Town, just wanted to make money, and he didn't have much time to rest at the end of the year.
"Bah!" The sheep kept calling, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the road.
The good boy was also on the scooter, behind Shen Xuanqing, and was close. Fortunately, the scooter was bigger, otherwise it hadn't even stood there yet, and it barked a few times when it heard sheep barking.
Even if the sheep croaked, it was the same. In addition, the good boy was standing behind him, as if barking into his ear. Shen Xuanqing was a little annoyed when he heard it, and he shut up after a light reprimand.
After getting on the straight and spacious official road, the mule ran more smoothly. As he was driving, he thought that this time he sold dwarf deer, at least thirty-five taels, and the mutton was killed in the shop, so that his family could share it. Eat some, and earn about six or seven taels, and there will be forty taels.
On the official road, I met many people one after another. Some were walking and some were driving ox carts. The ox carts ran briskly without mules.
It's always a joy to hit a prey. His eyebrows are stretched, and even if he doesn't smile, he can see a bit of gentleness.
There were two figures in front of her who supported her. The woman was limping, and the man beside her walked slowly forward. He didn't care. Health, at first glance is not an acquaintance.
The running of the mule cart, coupled with the bleating of the sheep, caused the two people in front to look back.
After seeing his face, he realized that it was Lu Daxiang and Du Hehua. Shen Xuanqing's eyes were slightly heavy, obviously a little unhappy.
He gave a drink, raised the whip and slapped it in the air, and the mule ran faster, and after a while it ran ahead, leaving the two far behind.
The last time I beat Lu Daxiang and Du Hehua, Lu Gu made it clear to them again that there is nothing to do with them anymore, as long as they stay safe and don't get in trouble, how can he take the initiative to get in trouble.
Shen Xuanqing is not a person who yells and yells. He can't do anything to bully the neighbors or get in trouble, and he doesn't bother to do it. He went over with a straight face and didn't even look back. bad.
The mule cart ran past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Du Hehua didn't realize that she was actually an "acquaintance". She walked with a limp, and she couldn't even rub against an ox cart when she came out today. She didn't feel good in her heart. No, isn't the one in front of you, your good son-in-law?"
When Lu Daxiang saw Shen Xuanqing's cowardice, his face trembled. In just three years, he was beaten twice, once breaking his leg and once his arm. of.
Hearing Du Hehua's words, he squinted and said nothing.
"Hurry up and stop your good son-in-law. Don't take me with you. Your good husband-in-law has to take it with you." Du Hehua was quick, and after her leg was broken, she no longer dared to play tricks in front of Shen Xuanqing, but she still ran on Lu Daxiang. dare.
Lu Daxiang has never been eloquent with her, but now he was slapped in the face, his face changed with anxiety, and he scolded: "Bitch, you have the ability, go and talk to others."
"You!" Du Hehua's eyes widened, she gritted her teeth and wanted to scold back, but she couldn't go very far by herself, she had to rely on Lu Daxiang to support her, she endured it and didn't have a seizure, but her face was ashen and staring, and she was unconvinced at first sight.
Seeing that she didn't dare to answer back, Lu Daxiang felt complacent. In the past few years, the two of them quarreled, and Du Hehua scolded him every time.
"How can I have a good son-in-law, a good son-in-law is not your rich and good uncle, you are capable, why don't people even call your mother-in-law when they see you? It's a shame that you keep telling others that you are long and short, good uncle. Have you come to our house once? Didn't you slap yourself? It's a joke."
Anjia Village is so big, who doesn't know who's gossip, even Lu Daxiang has heard it a few times, it's not ashamed, let alone Du Hehua.
She was poked at the sore spot. She thought that Lu Wen climbed to the wealthy household in Fenggu Town, and even she would be beautiful for a lifetime. Who knows that now even Lu Wen can't see a few faces, and immediately jumped.
"How can I be patient? Why can't I be patient? If it weren't for me, would you be able to use the money and food that Brother Wen gave you? Well, you unconscionable bastard, who have I been for all these years? Serving you and serving your son Lu Wu, In the end, it's all mine."
"You don't have the ability to make money, if it wasn't for me, you would never have eaten a few good bites in your life, and now you're picking on my fault, just talking about the pills and cloths that Brother Wen gave you, how many times have you seen in your life? ? Turtle grandson with a broken conscience, you scold me at home, and you don't even dare to let go of a fart when your neck shrinks!"
Lu Daxiang blushed and had a thick neck. How could he bear being scolded like this: "Old prostitute!"
"Old Wang Ba!" Du Hehua showed no signs of weakness.
After the scolding, neither of them could hold their breath, but today they are going to Li's house to find Lu Wen, and they really have no money in their hands.
To say that Du Hehua had her leg broken last winter, but she was fine after taking a rest for half a year, but she never thought of going up the mountain to pick up firewood the day before yesterday, but she slipped and rolled down the hillside. Very, very lame again.
When she broke her leg, Lu Daxiang broke her arm, but she was able to walk anyway, but when Lu Daxiang was lying on the bed with her broken leg, she thought that it would cost too much money to treat the injury, and she didn't look good for a few months, let alone serving Lu Daxiang well. Sometimes he didn't even bring rice, he went to work in the field after eating, and only when he came back did he bring a bowl of rice with water and soup to Lu Daxiang, who was so hungry that his chest was on his back.
Lu Daxiang's medicines were also too expensive, and he often took a few days to catch them after taking them. As for the urinals that he was cleaning up, he pinched his nose and did not hide the disgust on his face.
At that time, although Lu Daxiang often quarreled with her, the fire in his heart still couldn't go down.
It's not like Du Hehua was lying on the bed last year. He also didn't give a good face, and even returned it as he was, secretly feeling happy.
A broken leg is not a trivial matter. Du Hehua didn't want to fall into the root of the disease when she was old and become a lame man, so she had to ask for each other, but she couldn't hold her breath in front of Lu Daxiang. Lying on the bed, sometimes I feel really angry, and it is inevitable to quarrel with Lu Daxiang.
Lu Daxiang only broke his arm, and every time he slammed the door, he went out, leaving her to tell Tiantian not to be called Didi Dili, and his son Lu Wu was spoiled again. There would sometimes be a day or two without falling, and there would be a stench of urine in the room.
It's okay to have no food. Myrrh made her really annoyed and worried, so she had to change her words and stop provoking Lu Daxiang.
She got into the eyes of money, and she only knew how to hold the money in her own hands all her life. Anyone who dared to ask her is her enemy. However, Lu Daxiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She had no choice but to take out the money that had been hidden for a long time.
The estrangement and contradictions accumulated day by day, and gradually, neither of them wanted to see each other, but at such an old age, Lu Daxiang did not dare to divorce his wife, otherwise he would be an old bachelor in the future.
Du Hehua didn't dare to be divorced. She was an old lady, and she had no place to live when she returned to her parents' home. She was abandoned when she was old, and many people would laugh at her. Besides, there was also Lu Wu, so she could only continue on with her nose pinched.
The two stopped at the edge of the official road, one of them looked worse than the other, and even gasping for breath seemed to be on fire, but in the end, they walked forward together with their ashen faces, and stopped talking on the road.
Neither of them looked at each other, and they thought of Shen Xuanqing who had just seen them. They both saw what was being pulled on the mule cart, and the dog didn't say it. A dwarf deer and a sheep are definitely worth a lot of money.
There are only three villages between Anjia Village and Qingxi Village. It is a big event for the Shen family’s second house to open a shop in Jixing Town, and it has long been rumored.
Lu Daxiang's eyes were red and his heart was sour. He secretly sighed and stomped his feet and felt regretful. Why did he have such a trouble with the Shen family back then? Otherwise, whether Lu Wen or Lu Gu married, he was Shen Xuanqing's father-in-law, not to mention pork, he could even eat mutton superior.
Du Hehua has regrets. Who knew that Shen Xuanqing would have great prospects and could buy a house in the town.
But what's more, it's not pleasing to the eyes of Lu Gu. Those blessings and wealth should have belonged to them, Lu Wen, or even hers, and it's just the others. In the end, it was cheaper for Lu Gu.
The ox cart and mule cart ran forward, the pedestrians fell behind, and Du Hehua walked slower than the others because of her lame leg.
It's hot, and it's easy to sweat on the road. As the sun gets bigger, it's like being scorched. Even the eyes have to be squinted and can't be opened from the sun.
Lu Daxiang was impatient with her slowness, but because Lu Wen was her own biological child, he wanted to ask for more money this time, but he couldn't do it himself. He had to ask Lu Wen to see his mother's injury in order to soften his heart.
Du Hehua complained in her heart that she had no money in her hand. She gave Lu Daxiang the money last winter to recuperate her injuries and get medicine, so she always felt that Lu Daxiang used her money to hide her private money, but today she is reluctant to hire an ox cart for her. As I walked, I snorted coldly, and the more my eyes were not my eyes, my nose, not my nose.
