MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 185
The little spirit in the swaddle was twisting, and Lu Gu patted it while holding the sway, but his eyes kept looking at the figure that was gradually approaching from a distance.
"Go, go back." Shen Xuanqing has been up the mountain for half a month. Seeing his husband and son, his eyes are full of smiles. Because the mountain road is slippery and difficult to walk, he is leaning on a long wooden stick in his hand to help him. After Huizi went down the mountain, he didn't throw it away. After entering the yard, he threw it on the pyre, so that it could be used as firewood.
Lu Gu followed closely, with a sweet smile on his face.
Shen Xuanqing took off the bamboo basket on his back, and hung his longbow on the wall of the firewood room. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Gu following the firewood room with the child in his arms. Gotta hug the husband.
He went to the kitchen to scoop up water to wash his hands, and asked with a smile, "Mother, they're not there?"
"Go over there, I'll be back later." Lu Gu couldn't help with the child, so he could only watch by the side, Shen Xuanqing poured water for the dog to drink, and ran all the way.
The good boy and Da Hui Da Hei licked their heads together, and didn't forget to wag their tails twice. They had been running around in the mountains for half a month. They were also tired.
"Eat it after a break." Shen Xuanqing said, and washed his face with water.
"Well, I know." Lu Gu nodded. Seeing that his clothes were dirty, he said, "It's late today. Burn some water tomorrow for you to wash."
Late autumn is no better than summer. After noon, it is not so warm. It’s already afternoon. It’s cold to boil water, whether to wash hair or take a bath. Their house is fine. They have enough firewood. Shut up, being able to put a brazier on a fire to wash and take a bath, this is because they are young. Wei Lanxiang doesn't dare to wash frequently when she is old. Being affected by the cold is not a trivial matter. Even a small life is not guaranteed. The mud legs in the countryside would rather be dirty than that. Anyway, everyone doesn't wash, so don't dislike anyone.
Shen Xuanqing has a strong physique. This time he went up the mountain to live in a shabby thatched hut. Sometimes, he was too tired to go back from hunting. He was too lazy to boil water and scrubbed with cold water. After washing his face, he went into the room to change his shirt, and Lu Gu still followed.
After returning to the house, Lu Gu sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the swaddle that covered Xiao Lingjun's face. Brother Xiaoling, who didn't like to be covered and twisted and groaned, was suddenly happy and showed a smile.
When Shen Xuanqing heard his son's babbling, he was so happy that the corners of his eyes were full of smiles. He took Linger and hugged him in his arms. Xiao Linger left Lu Gu's embrace, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and there was no expression on his face. Only those **** eyes were open.
"Did you think about Daddy?" Shen Xuanqing didn't care, and said with a smile what he missed. He went up the mountain for so long after the baby was born two months ago. He was always thinking about it in the mountains. The green beard was shaved by the river, so he didn't have any scruples at the moment, and kissed Brother Xiaoling several times.
Such a small child, I haven't seen him for half a month, even if it is a biological father, some are born, and after being kissed, he grins and wants to cry.
The child cried so loudly, not to mention the tears, in case he cried too much and hurt his health, not to mention that his father made his son cry as soon as he came back, and it was shameless, Shen Xuanqing saw that something was wrong, and immediately gave it to Lu Valley.
Lu Gu hugged Xiao Lingjun and coaxed him a few times. Brother Xiao Ling, who had just cried twice, smacked his mouth, and stopped crying, his face changed quickly.
Shen Xuanqing sat next to him and smiled, and said, "It really doesn't give me face."
"It'll be fine in two days." Lu Gu said with a light smile.
"There aren't that many fox skins this time. There are only eight red fox skins with good coat color, and another six of average quality. They can probably be sold for a hundred taels." Shen Xuanqing sat beside the bed to rest, and by the way, he and Lu Valley talk.
I didn't hit the rare silver fox and white fox this year, how could I have good luck every year.
"That's good too." Lu Gu was still smiling, not as much as the previous two years, but a hundred taels, how easy is it to hunt? These are enough.
"It's raining a lot this year, and the weather isn't very good. I thought about it, so I won't go up the mountain anymore. The money in my hand is enough to spend." After holding it tightly, she smiled happily.
He is selfish. Lu Gu and the child are both at home. Now that he has just had a child, he is really worried about being alone in the mountains. With so much money in his left and right hands, if he raises a rabbit at home, he can sell it for money, so he simply doesn’t go there. There is also a subsidy for hunting in Qianshan.
No matter what he said, Lu Gu has always trusted him, not to mention that the mountains are far away, Shen Xuanqing can't eat or sleep in the mountains alone, so naturally he won't refute.
"Well, rest at home." He gave the child to Shen Xuanqing and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll do it."
Shen Xuanqing hugged Brother Xiaoling, looked up and said, "Are there any eggs? I haven't touched the oil star for a few days, so I scrambled two eggs to eat."
As soon as Lu Gu heard it, he knew that he mostly ate boiled wild vegetables in the mountains, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, brother Daqing bought pork yesterday, fried a bowl with autumn vegetables, and got you two bowls of vegetables to eat."
The child was small, and it was cold outside, so Shen Xuanqing didn't go out. He was playing with his son, always paying attention to whether Xiao Lingjun was about to cry.
Before he came back, Brother Xiaoling ate milk fruit and urinated. He was still good now, and he never cried.
It is neither too early nor too late, it is half afternoon, Lu Gu and the others had lunch, and before dinner, they only cooked two dishes for Shen Xuanqing and let him eat first.
When Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan came over from the big house, they saw their second son came home, and they beat a dozen fox skins. They were so happy that even dogs were rarer than usual. , I rubbed my head one by one today, but I didn't dislike the dirty body of the three dogs. Seeing that Lu Gu ate a handful of peanuts for the dog, he didn't say anything, he was happy.
Shen Xuanqing missed her son on the mountain, and it was rare to see Zhao'er. When Ji Qiuyue came back with the child, he was very rare. After all, it was his nephew. Zhao'er didn't cry or make trouble in his arms.
Lu Gu walked around in the room with brother Xiaoling, patting him to sleep, and when he saw this, he said, "Zhao'er, what's the name of the lamb?"
Zhao'er was young, he didn't understand for a while, and was still giggling, so he made a "baa" himself, and sure enough, Zhao'er heard it and looked over, and made a "baa" in his mouth, which made Shen Xuanqing laugh out loud and put his hands in his hands. He picked up Zhao'er who was sitting on his lap and raised it high. After Zhao'er was lifted up, he laughed even louder, and it was very lively for a while.
For Shen Xuanqing, going to Yuqing Mansion to sell fox skins is already a familiar thing. Today is different from the past. He no longer needs to walk with his mule cart. The mule runs much faster on the smooth official road. He didn't return until the next day. This time, he went to Fucheng to sell fox skins. He also went to Laoyangtou to deliver a basket of peanuts and a basket of autumn firewood beans. It only took one day's work, and he arrived home in the evening when it was getting dark. .
Shen Yaoqing and his daughter-in-law and son rested at the big mansion at night. When he came back to Zhao'er, he hadn't slept yet. He played with an oil lamp on the bed. Zhaoer was reluctant to sleep, and felt that it was too dark in the room and kept crying. Ji Qiuyue had no choice. After lighting the oil lamp, the child stopped crying when the room was bright.
"I guess it's not big." Shen Yaoqing came out to untie the mule cart, glanced at the scattered snowflakes falling from the sky, and said, these two days have been very cold, and he has added more hay, rice and orange pads to the livestock during the day, even if the snow is heavy at night Not afraid either.
"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing nodded and agreed, just when he was driving to Fenggu Town, the snowflakes were floating. The first snow in early winter was not so powerful. After the car cover was taken off, he led the mule to widen the road beside the house. Crossed it, tied it to the backyard circle, and added water and grass before leaving.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm over." He shouted into the room.
"Hey, I see, let's go." Ji Qiuyue promised in the room.
Xiao Huang followed behind him wagging his tail, and was called back by Shen Yaoqing when he was about to leave the hospital. There were many livestock in the backyard, there were good boys in the hometown, and there were many people, so don't worry, now that the night is getting longer, there is one more dog here at night. more assured.
Dark clouds covered the moon and stars in the sky, and it was pitch black everywhere, barely making out the outlines of the houses in the village. The village is very quiet, only a few coughs can be heard occasionally. When passing by the door of the dog owner, the barking of the dog breaks the silence.
Shen Xuanqing was familiar with the road in the village and walked smoothly with the bamboo basket on his back. When he arrived at the gate of his own courtyard, he heard the barking of the dog inside, he whistled, and the boy immediately whimpered.
The courtyard door was closed and unlocked. He pushed open the door and came in. He saw candlelight shining from the Westinghouse window, and Lu Gu had not slept yet.
"Er Qing?" Wei Lanxiang heard the movement, raised her upper body and shouted out.
"Mother, it's me." Shen Xuanqing closed the courtyard door and said.
"Just come back, it's cold outside, take a rest." After Wei Lanxiang shouted, she lay back on the bed after hearing the promise.
Lu Gu had just coaxed the child to sleep when he saw Shen Xuanqing come in and asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Xuanqing also lowered his voice: "I have eaten, and my mistress cooked it, and I will come back after I have eaten."
"That's good, the steamed buns and vegetables are left for you in the pot, and there is hot water at the bottom. You put the food in the basket and scoop the water to wash it." Lu Gu took the candlestick on the table to him, and there was probably not much fire left at the bottom of the stove. A spark, it's so dark outside, there's a light that won't blind you.
The child had already slept, and the room turned dark after the candlestick was taken away. Lu Gu took off his shoes and went to bed instead of going to sleep. He sat on the head of the bed and covered his legs and feet with Shen Xuanqing's quilt. Shen Xuanqing counted together, and it gradually became a habit. Hearing the sound of the child humming and chirping, he reached out to touch it, and patted it again through the quilt.
As usual, Shen Xuanqing washed up and went into the room, so he took out a big money bag from the bamboo basket. Usually, he dumped it on the table. Tonight, afraid of disturbing Xiao Lingjun, he sat beside the bed and put the silver ingots one by one. He took it out, put it on the quilt and watched it with Lu Gu, and said with a smile, "Sold 110 taels, keep 10 taels outside, and put the remaining 100 taels in and save."
In this way, they have a full seven hundred taels of silver.
Lu Gu frowned, and Shen Xuanqing put several silver ingots in his hand, heavy, and he laughed so hard that he could barely see his teeth.
Shen Xuanqing was equally happy. He threw the silver in his hand into the air and then caught it. Seven hundred taels of silver made him feel very at ease. These are all saved up, so don't move for the time being. He added today's twelve taels in his hand, together with There are more than 30 taels of broken silver and copper plates, more than enough to support Lu Gu and the children.
