MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 181
After the busy farming season is over, the sun-dried rice is stored in large urns, and there is no need to turn it over for drying. All of a sudden, the whole family is relieved. Well, at the end of the year, I can rest for a while in winter, and I will not be so tired.
This year, the weather was not so good. It rained for two days during the drying process. Fortunately, they were drying the rice in their own large yard, and the rice was rolled and harvested in time without too much rain.
The water in the river was colder than before, but before the time of penetration, Zhao'er was playing with Shen Yan, and Lingjun ate the milk fruit and fell asleep again. Taking advantage of this time, Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue brought a wooden basin and pounded by the river. Clothes, the two of you work faster, and there is a talking person to accompany you.
The stick slammed the clothes on the slate, and the smashed wild bath beads gradually foamed. Lu Gu turned the clothes over and said, "There are not many wild bath beads. I have to go up the mountain to pick some in the past few days."
"If the weather is fine tomorrow, let's go." Ji Qiuyue rubbed Zhao'er's little clothes and promised.
The wild bath beads in Qianshan are not as big as those that Lu Gu once picked in the deep mountains, but they can still be used. No work.
The two laughed for a while. After washing the clothes, they returned to their hometown to dry. Lu Gu put the baby's diapers on the wooden rack. The two children had to wash a lot of diapers every day. Fortunately, their family members were busy and there were enough diapers for changing. .
He gently opened the door and glanced at the wooden cradle, Xiao Lingjun, who had not woken up yet. The quilt was well covered, so he did not go in.
"Mother, I'll go over there and take a look, you pay attention to Ling Ling." Lu Gu said to Wei Lanxiang, who made small shoes in the courtyard.
"Cheng, I get it, you can go." Wei Lanxiang agreed, the shoes in her hands were made for Lingjun, and she used to wear small shoes that Zhao'er couldn't wear. A few days ago, Shen Xuanqing mentioned it twice, intentionally or unintentionally. In other words, she hastened to make a new pair in the past two days.
Lu Gu did not make new shoes, two pairs of thickness and thickness. They were all beautiful tiger-toed shoes. He made two of the four pairs, and the remaining two were made by Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue respectively. The thick cotton shoes are not worn until the winter is cold. He thought that the shoes Zhaoer made last year have only been worn a few times, and they are not much different from the new ones. Besides, the child can’t run yet, so he always wraps them in swaddling clothes and hugs them. Sometimes I don't need to wear shoes in my arms, I think two pairs are enough, not so many.
Shen Xuanqing didn't know how to make shoes himself, so he didn't dare to mention it in front of Lu Gu, so he could only talk to the old lady.
On the way to the big house, Lu Gu met three women who were digging wild vegetables together. Now that the autumn is strong, if you don’t hurry up to dry some wild vegetables, winter is not easy. I also dried the dried bamboo shoots, so I just picked up more mushrooms in autumn and came back to dry them in the past two days.
He and his three aunts met face to face and called for someone, and then they went their separate ways. They saw a few dogs running in the village. Among them, there happened to be a good boy. At first glance, he was lazy and didn’t want to watch the house and run out to play. He hadn’t called yet, Zhou Yunzhi. Come from not far.
"Auntie." Even if she didn't want to interact with Zhou Yunzhi, she had to say hello when she saw her elders.
Zhou Yunzhi smiled after hearing him shout, but the mean look on her slender face did not diminish with the smile. She had long noticed that the silver bracelet on Lu Gu's wrist was thicker than the previous one, and she was envious for a long time. I saw you today. Taking another look, he said, "Where is the millet going?"
Lu Gu pursed his lips and revealed a small smile, and said, "Go to the yard over there to see, is Auntie free today?"
"No, I've been busy with threshing, so I'm just wandering around." When Zhou Yunzhi heard the big yard, her heart was sour. If the boss had a yard, it would be nice if they belonged to their family. She laughed a little when she spoke. Fake fake.
Lu Gu always felt uncomfortable talking to her. He pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll go over to Auntie first."
The two of them didn't have much to say, Zhou Yunzhi nodded and paused. The footsteps that originally wanted to go to Sanfang's house turned to Erfang's house.
The good boy who was playing with a few puppies only found out when Lu Gu approached, wagging his tail and rubbing it.
After getting away from Zhou Yunzhi, Lu Gu felt much more relaxed, and walked forward, smiling and calling out to the good boy: "Go, go back."
However, the good boy was eager to play, and stood there tilting his head to look at him. After he shouted again, he jumped to the side and backed away, obviously unwilling to go home. Lu Gu smiled even more. Forget it, there are other dogs in the house during the day, so he won't be embarrassed.
Passing through the sloping road, the courtyard door was wide open, and the two little yellow dogs ran out to greet them before they approached, one was more happy than the other.
It was almost noon now, and the livestock had already been fed. He came here for no other reason than to see if Shen Xuanqing was awake. In the past few days, Shen Xuanqing woke up when Lingjun was hungry and urinating. Sometimes he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He had to get out of bed and stand on the ground to walk around to coax the crying child.
In addition to Lu Gu, there are other people in my hometown who help take care of the children during the day. Wei Lanxiang is just that. Here, you don't have to be disturbed.
The door was not closed, but it was just lightly covered. Lu Gu quietly pushed the door open. The person on the bed didn't move. He smiled and walked in lightly.
The bed in the new house is big. Shen Xuanqing will not be tied down when he sleeps. He slept soundly with his eyes closed, and he could hear even breathing.
Lu Gu stood beside the bed with curved brows and eyes. The man on the bed was very tall, with a tall nose and a handsome face. Even with his eyes closed, his eyebrows and eyes looked so handsome. He smiled and squeezed Shen Xuanqing's nose lightly, and then went to pinch again. ear.
Shen Xuanqing disturbed and woke him up like this when he was sleeping before, and now he will return it together.
Not long after, the man with the pinched earlobe opened his eyes. When he saw his smiling husband standing beside the bed, he couldn't help showing a smile on his handsome face. He grabbed Lu Gu's arm and brought him to the bed.
He was so strong that Lu Gu fell on top of him all of a sudden, and was held down on his back and waist. He couldn't get up at all, only his legs and arms struggled and kicked twice. It looked a bit funny, and Shen Xuanqing laughed outright. Lu Gu fell a little angry, but he pressed his face on Shen Xuanqing's chest, and after hearing the deep laughter, he couldn't help laughing.
The two of them laughed for a while on the bed, while on the other side, after Zhou Yunzhi entered the courtyard, Wei Lanxiang put down her small shoes and poured her a bowl of tea.
The unhappiness between the two secretly seldom showed on the face, and after a few chats, they were quite friendly.
Ji Qiuyue was cooking in the kitchen, and when it was time for lunch, when she saw Zhou Yunzhi coming in, even if she was not happy, she had to laugh twice, but she didn't mention the matter of keeping Zhou Yunzhi for dinner. No matter what, you have to say a few words about keeping people for dinner, but the auntie of their family really can't compliment her.
Zhou Yunzhi has always held the identity of the auntie, but she didn't take it to heart when she didn't hear that she was allowed to eat. She had something else to say in her heart. Seeing Ji Qiuyue cutting bacon, she clicked and said, "This day is over. Yes, it's really good."
Ji Qiuyue raised her head and smiled, pretending not to answer.
Zhou Yunzhi's mouth couldn't stay idle, she glanced at Ji Qiuyue's wrist, then at the silver hairpin on her head, and said sourly: "Daqing still loves his daughter-in-law, look at this silver hairpin, how bright, but ah, I It still can’t compare to the thick bracelet on Gu Zi’s hand.”
Hearing this, the smile on Ji Qiuyue's face faded a bit, and she said, "There's nothing better than that, Auntie thinks too much."
Zhou Yunzhi saw that she was a little unhappy, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "The four boys are selling both deer and sheep this year, and they must have made a lot of money, but I saw that he bought bracelets and satin for millet, and you all serve as cattle and horses at home to serve livestock. , you have to have something like that, tell me, it's not fair."
Shen Xuanqing was the second in his own family, but he was the fourth in a large family, saying that the fourth boy was right.
The smile on Ji Qiuyue's face disappeared completely, and she almost slapped a cold face, but she still remembered the identity of Zhou Yunzhi's auntie, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile, and said, "Look at what auntie said, what is injustice? , In our eyes, it's all a family living, auntie, you said, how can you care so much."
"I'm doing it for you." Zhou Yunzhi said again.
"My uncle's good intentions, I don't dare to say that. No matter how much he earns, Shen Xuanqing is his own money. Everyone knows that hunting in the mountains is not easy. Why should I stare at his money? I don’t have the skills, I can earn food, clothes, and children, so why should I be jealous of other people’s money?”
Speaking of this, Ji Qiuyue Fang Jue was a little heavy, so he smiled and said: "Auntie, you say this is the truth, we are poor or poor, but we have ambition, I never heard Brother Yutao say it before, this is called poor ambition. Not poor, I still remember."
Zhou Yunzhi was unhappy when she was brushed off by the juniors. She didn't have the scruples of the elders and juniors like Ji Qiuyue. Can't support the wall.
Wei Lanxiang had just entered the room to put out the needle and thread basket, and had a few words with Shen Yan in the main room. As soon as she walked into the yard with Zhao'er in her arms, she saw her angry expression, and she was slightly startled, and asked, "Damn What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Zhou Yunzhi glanced at the kitchen angrily, and said in a shrill voice, "What can I do? You have a good daughter-in-law, so articulate and transparent, but you can't even understand good words."
"Big sister-in-law." Wei Lanxiang shouted again from behind, but Zhou Yunzhi ignored it, raised her foot, stepped over the door of the hospital, turned around, and was no longer in sight.
Ji Qiuyue is also angry in her heart. Although she has never studied, she is an ambitious person. She doesn't want to go wrong, and she doesn't want Zhaoer to be like some people in the village, staring at other people's money and jealous of others. She also thought that her son would go out of the village in the future, go far and have a higher vision. If he studied well, he might be admitted to a scholar and teach in the town in the future.
Zhou Yunzhi, the eldest auntie, did such arrogant things, calling their family apart, and calling her the kind of stingy, red-eyed person, how could she not be angry.
Wei Lanxiang didn't know what was going on until she asked, how could she not see Zhou Yunzhi's intentions, and was so angry that she scolded Zhou Yunzhi for not being a thing.
After a fight with Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu finally got up, sat beside the bed and said, "You better get up quickly, my sister-in-law was cooking when I went out."
Shen Xuanqing slept comfortably this night. Hearing this, he quickly got up and went down to the ground. Before walking, he called out to Shen Yaoqing, who was turning the vegetable field in the backyard. When the three of them went back together, they saw that the atmosphere at home was not right, and as soon as they asked, they found out that it was Zhou Yunzhi's demon.
"She has shallow eyelids, we don't care about her as much." Shen Yaoqing was not at ease, but seeing that his daughter-in-law was unhappy, he smiled and coaxed in a low voice: "Next time I will go to the town to deliver rabbits, you will follow me too Make clothes with a piece of cloth, buy a few good silk flowers, save the money in your hand, and buy you a new hairpin at the end of the year."
Ji Qiuyue laughed all of a sudden, and said angrily: "What do you do with so much money, I just have this one."
"Listen to me, get a new one during Chinese New Year, and your sister-in-law will be jealous when you go back to your parents' house." Shen Yaoqing joked, but after a few words, he coaxed his daughter-in-law into a smile.
The plain silver hairpins are not that expensive. Now that he has earned money, it is enough to set aside some to buy a hairpin for his daughter-in-law. Spending money is spending money. It takes two or three years to buy a new one, and the daughter-in-law is happy and worth it.
Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu persuaded Wei Lanxiang a few more words, and they managed to persuade the old lady to stop being angry with Zhou Yunzhi. During the meal, Shen Yaoqing sat down to eat with his son in his arms. The last moment was hot and humid, Zhao'er urinated on his leg, the baby girl was ignorant, and she raised her head and giggled at him, the whole family laughed and became happy again.
