MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 135
In the evening, the heat subsided, the orange-red sunset quickly fell, and the cool breeze was blowing. Lu Gu wiped his hands and put the towel on the wooden frame and went back to the room. He had cleaned the pot and stove, and Shen Yan was now heating the bath water inside.
Shen Xuanqing sat at the table, he had already poured out the copper plates from several money bags, a large pile was spread on the table, and there were also a lot of broken silver.
This is the money for selling mutton today. As soon as Lu Gu entered the door, his eyes fell on the money pile, his eyes were bright. I don't know since when, every time they come back from selling something, they will count the money together, it has become a habit.
"The hemp ropes have been cut, and they are all dressed in big money. Go back to the town and exchange them for whole silver." Shen Xuanqing said with a smile.
"Yeah." Lu Gu pulled out the chair and sat down.
The two of them first picked up the scattered silver from the copper coins and put them on the table to form a small pile. The copper coins collided and clattered, and the sound was more pleasant than the crisp chirping of birds in the early morning.
Shen Xuanqing counted in his heart while wearing the money in silence. Lu Gu sat opposite and counted in a low voice, as long as he could hear it himself, so as not to disturb Shen Xuanqing.
Counting the coins, Lu Gu had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
After wearing the three-point coins, he saw that there were not many copper coins on the table, so Shen Xuanqing would wear them.
"I'll go get it." Lu Gu got up and went to the bedside, and took out a money bag from under the pillow, which they usually used to spend.
After 30 copper plates were filled, the money was ready.
There are four coins in total, each one is a thousand coins, which is one tael of silver, and the scattered silver on the table adds up to two taels. Shen Xuanqing put down the consistent money in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not bad today, it's just thirty coins. The money is six taels of silver, and since it has been made up, even if we earn six taels."
Lu Gu naturally agreed, and the smile on his face has not stopped since he counted the money. He asked, "These pieces of silver should also be converted into whole silver?"
"No need." Shen Xuanqing said, "Keep the broken silver for your daily use. Two taels are enough to spend a long time. Just exchange the four taels of money. By then, the four taels of silver will be accumulated and won't move."
"Okay." Lu Gu nodded and put the broken silver into a small purse. This small purse was placed outside, and no matter who they used to use the money, they could take it.
Earning money is an extremely happy thing. Now Shen Xuanqing goes to the mountains once a month, but he can earn five or six taels at a time, which is really good.
The two took a big money bag and put the money together, and Lu Gu said, "There are not many wild bath beads at home. I want to go up the mountain to pick them tomorrow. If I pick too much, I might be able to sell them."
"Okay, I'll be with you tomorrow." Shen Xuanqing agreed.
The green hills stretch far and wide. The villagers often pick the wild bath bead trees in the front mountain. They are small in size. After Lu Gu came down from the mountain and lived at home, every time he went to pick wild bath beads, he would take his dog to find it deeper. Know the location of several wild bath bead trees.
After collecting the money, Shen Xuanqing moved the table against the wall and moved the bathtub in the corner of the room. After a long day of tiring, he was slaughtering sheep and rushing. It could be said that he was sweating, so he naturally had to take a shower.
After the weather is hot, I have to take a shower every day or two, and the tub has never been moved out of the house.
The water is not bad, and every household picks it up from the river, but the firewood is different. Even if you can go up the mountain to pick it up, many people will use it frugally. .
Lu Gu seldom had the opportunity to take a bath in the Lu family before. He was afraid that people would say it was dirty, so he could only chew Yang Zhi, clean his teeth and wash his face carefully with river water.
Now that he is diligent in bathing, his body is rarely dirty. If Shen Xuanqing was in the room when he was taking a bath, he would definitely stare at his white back and shoulders for a long time.
Looking out the window, Lu Gu saw the mud stove and pottery pots that were boiling water in the courtyard, and said, "The pottery pot is boiling, do you want to wash your hair first?"
"Okay." Shen Xuanqing nodded.
The wooden basin and the wooden frame were in the courtyard. When he went out, he heard Shen Yan in the kitchen calling out that the bath water was on, who should scoop up the water first.
Shen Xuanqing didn't hear Wei Lanxiang's response, so she said, "Then you take a shower in the room first, and I'll wash your hair first."
"Yeah." Lu Gu also went out to pick up water.
The doors and windows were closed, the water in the tub was refilled, and Lu Gu quickly soaked it.
The comfort of the hot water wrapping his body made him relax unconsciously. The fatigue of the past two days was relieved, and he rested against the barrel wall for a while.
When it was Shen Xuanqing's turn to enter the room after the bath, he went out to scoop the water from the clay pot and washed his hair.
The clean and comfortable feeling of taking a shower is pleasant, and even more so when you lie down after your hair is dry. The breath is filled with the very faint fragrance of wild bath beads. It cools down at night, and it is very comfortable to sleep on the cool bamboo mat.
It was okay tonight, it wasn't so hot, Lu Gu turned to the side, and he arrived at Shen Xuanqing's arms. He was not used to the porcelain pillow he bought before, so he gave it to Shen Xuanqing, and then changed back to the soft pillow stuffed with rushes.
Compared with the hot sweat during the day, Shen Xuanqing smelled very good at the moment. He sniffed it a little bit, and realized what he was thinking, the tip of his ear was slightly red, he didn't dare to say it, he just thought quietly in his heart. .
Shen Xuanqing hugged the person in his arms and said in a low voice, "I will drop by Uncle Jinhu's house tomorrow to see the puppies. I don't know if they have grown fat. I will pick two and make a decision. I will bring them back in two or three months so that they can give birth to them."
The people in the village mostly feed the dogs with leftovers. The same is true for the big yellow dog from Lin Jinhu’s family. However, all the puppies need to be fed. , can still grow well.
Lu Gu let out a low hum, and when he talks about dogs, he thinks of the good boy when he was a child. He was chubby and plump. Even if he was a layman, he could clearly see that the family in Niujiazhuang was quite good at keeping dogs. Of course he I also know that this is most likely because the wolf green mastiff is valuable.
He was a little lost, but he didn't notice Shen Xuanqing sniffing and kissing in his hair.
The scent of the fragrant fragrant smell is all in the nostrils. Recently, I have been busy with sexual intercourse, but I haven't done much work during the day, and I also eat meat and drink at noon.
The bed board rattled softly, and Lu Gu tightly closed his mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
—
Early in the morning, Lu Gu ran cattle and ducks by the river.
The calf didn't need to be led. It grazes and drinks water by the river, and rolls in the mudflat by the river, with a lot of mud on its body.
In summer, the gadfly is the most powerful. A bite can give a cow a painful shiver, and it will be better if you wrap it in mud.
The weather is hot right now, and there are more gadflies than before, and they like to haunt the riverside and paddy fields at noon. If they don't put cattle, they will change it to early in the morning. When the calves have eaten and drank outside at noon, they will take them back.
Taking advantage of the coolness, Lu Gu didn't care about the calf, and squatted by the river to feel the snails, so that he could smash them and feed them to the chickens.
Da Hui was sniffing everywhere not far away, and the good boy was running and jumping like crazy, and sometimes he even ran to head to head with the calf, very lively.
It ran over again, rubbing and arching its head on Lu Gu's back. Lu Gu pushed the dog's head away with his backhand. The good boy was always running around in the village. He just changed his clothes today, and he was The new clothes made this year have only been worn twice, and they are not good if they get dirty. He also said, "Don't rub against me, just play by yourself."
Who knew that the more you pushed the boy, the more vigorous he became, thinking that he was playing with it, and he was trying to compete with Lu Gu's hand.
"It's still light when I was young." Lu Gu couldn't help it, he mumbled and let it rub against his back. Speaking of which, he went to Uncle Jinhu's house to see the puppies the day before yesterday. The big yellow dog only gave birth to four this time, and his milk was big enough. They are divided, they don't have to fight for food, they are all well fed.
The good boy is really crazy, and he may find it boring after not pushing it with his hands. Hearing the moo of the calf, his ears ran over.
Lu Gu squatted by the river and looked at the ducks while touching the snails. When Wei Lanxiang came with the bamboo basket to catch the rabbit grass, he picked up the fish basket and went back to feed the chickens. It's open.
Coming in through the back door, he saw Shen Xuanqing picking up the cow pen, he turned around and said, "Is my back dirty? Just now, the good boy rubbed his head around, and the calf rolled in the mud, and it and the calf headed to each other. "
Shen Xuanqing stopped while holding the shovel, and looked carefully at the opening: "Nothing, clean."
That's good, Lu Gu went to feed the chickens with confidence.
There is so much work to do in the family, and Shen Xuanqing just got money from selling sheep a few days ago, and Shen Xuanqing didn't go up the mountain again. Besides, Ji Qiuyue's birth period is approaching, it will be in the beginning of August, and in two days it will be the first day of the eighth lunar month. The child is about to be born, but he can't wait.
Shen Yaoqing carried the bucket to water the vegetable field. He picked up the bucket and dumped it on the bottom of the bucket. After the last bit of water flowed down, he straightened up and rested on the spot. After this break, he thought of what was about to happen, and his eyes couldn't help but drift away. , I was in a daze at first sight.
Because Ji Qiuyue likes to eat sour, people in the village say that he is a big fat boy, but who knows before he is born, he is really busy and nervous these days.
Lu Gu, who smashed the green snail with a stone, turned his head and saw his dazed appearance, his brows quietly curved, as Da Qing has always been these days.
In the blink of an eye, it will be the third day of August.
This afternoon, the clouds in the sky covered the sun, so it could be cooler. Lu Guchang didn't eat much for lunch. When he woke up from a nap, he found that the sky was a little cloudy. He felt hungry, so he went to the kitchen to eat half a steamed bun.
As soon as he took a bite, he saw Shen Yaoqing hurriedly rushed out of the room, ran into Wei Lanxiang's room incoherently and shouted, "Mother! Mother! Come on, the amniotic fluid is broken, broken."
"Come on, please go to the stable mother! Come on, you!" Wei Lanxiang's voice was also raised.
But for a moment, Lu Gu almost threw away half of the steamed bun in his hand, and wanted to go to the room to see Ji Qiuyue, but Shen Yaoqing patted his thigh at the door of Wei Lanxiang's room, turned around and ran outside after reacting. She was so nervous and anxious that she staggered when she went down the steps of the hall, and lost one of her shoes when she ran.
Shen Xuanqing got up late, but when he heard the movement outside, a fierce man sat up from the bed.
Wei Lanxiang didn't even care about her hair, and hurried into the room with Lu Gu and Shen Yan. Ji Qiuyue sat beside the bed, her trousers and the floor were wet, Xu Shi was also nervous, her face was a little pale, but the amniotic fluid was broken at the moment. Yes, my stomach doesn't hurt.
"How's it going?" Wei Lanxiang asked hurriedly, and then said to Lu Gu in a hurried voice, "Come on, let's heat up the hot water, it'll be useful when Madam Wen arrives."
Shen Xuanqing stood at the door of the room and did not come in. Hearing the words, he said, "I'm going to burn it."
He couldn't help anything else, it was always alright to boil water.
"Burn more, and the big pottery can also be used." Wei Lanxiang shouted, then turned to Lu Gu and said, "Then go get the scissors, put the water in the boil and scald it."
Lu Gu hurriedly agreed and went to the room to find scissors.
"Go, get a few more new cloth towels." Wei Lanxiang instructed Shen Yan again.
The family was in a hurry, but fortunately, Wei Lanxiang was instructed by the envoy, and they were in a hurry, but they were not too chaotic.
