MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 199
When Shen Xuanqing came back, his family was very happy. Who would have thought that his family could afford to open a shop in Jixing Town.
At night, Lu Gu coaxed Brother Xiaoling to sleep first, but because he had not seen him for several days, Shen Xuanqing said that he put the child on the bed and did not put it in the middle.
After blowing out the candles and both of them lying down, there was a familiar body next to him. He was satisfied and happy. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes and brows covered in the dark night were full of smiles.
Shen Xuanqing turned over and lay on his side, facing the husband inside, and said in a low voice, "I'll leave after lunch tomorrow."
"Yeah." As he was lying on his side, Lu Gu put one hand on the pillow beside his face. The night was dark, and the light coming in from the window was not very bright, and only vague outlines could be seen. Even so, the smile on his face never faded. , said in a low voice, "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you, stewed with bacon and old tofu? There is still half a jar of pickled sour radishes in Dongshiniang, and they are fried with dried fish."
It's almost spring, but I still eat pickled and dried winter vegetables, and only fresh vegetables can be eaten when the green buds emerge from the back.
"It's all right." Shen Xuanqing heard Brother Ling snort twice, knowing that he was not sleeping peacefully, Lu Gu turned over and patted the child, but he didn't say anything after that. He opened his mouth: "The meat is sold out in the town, I don't have it at home, and I didn't buy it when I came back. I want to eat meatball soup."
Hearing this, Lu Gu said, "I didn't hear the news of Meng Dayue killing pigs today, why don't we go to Wangli Village to see?"
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "No, it's enough to have two meat dishes tomorrow. I'll bring a few pounds of meat when I come back next time, and it's not too late to eat it."
"Alright." Lu Gu didn't argue because he was afraid that he would quarrel with the children too much. The meal consisted of bacon and dried fish, which used to be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Different from going hunting in the mountains, the shop has just opened and cannot be closed for several days. Shen Xuanqing knew in his heart that at least the butcher shop should be open frequently for the past year and a half.
He gropingly held Lu Gu's hand and said, "After spring begins, I will go hunting in the mountains, and I will let my eldest brother take care of him in the shop for a few days. Before the spring plowing, the fields at home are not so busy."
Hunting makes money quickly, but it’s better to stay safe in the shop. He doesn’t want to give up. In a month or two, the prey only earns 12 or 80 taels, and the accumulation will add up. Buying a shop and buying property will add up to fifty dollars. Two more bucks to pay back.
"Yeah." Lu Gu was serious every time he listened to him.
The night was getting darker and the whole village was quiet. No one went out, let alone something happened. Even the dog was curled up on the sack and slept.
The two talked for a while, and there was nothing left to say. Shen Xuanqing had not been close to her husband for a long time, and now she was touching hands that were far smoother and softer than her own rough hands, and couldn't help but kiss them.
Because it was night in the room again, Lu Gu was a little shy, but when he thought about it, it was not that he had never kissed before. Perhaps it was the night that gave him the courage to even take the initiative to kiss. After a deep kiss, Shen Xuanqing kissed the corner of his lips. He imitated the other party's appearance, and carefully kissed Shen Xuanqing's lips, almost to the point of breaking apart.
Let himself be magnanimous in his heart, this is his own husband and their own house, but the heart in his chest is still beating so fast.
Lu Gu rarely responds in kisses, and rarely kisses him. Both babies were born, but Lu Gu kissed him only a handful of times. After being kissed, Shen Xuanqingjun had a bright smile on his face, but unfortunately there was a little bit in the room. Black, can't see clearly.
The next day, after lunch, the family went to the big house to help put up the rabbit cages. This time, they pulled over 22 rabbits in one go, almost enough to sell them for six or seven days. Postponed.
However, this is very good for them. Even if the butcher shop only sells 20 rabbits a month, it is 25 cents for a piece of skinned rabbit meat, and at least 500 cents. Better than being a buddy to someone.
After the mule cart was ready, Shen Xuanqing took Brother Xiaoling and hugged him for a while, before giving it to Lu Gu.
"Okay, let's go back, I'll be back in a few days." After he finished speaking, he led the mule and walked forward, waiting for the scooter to go smoothly before sitting on it.
The wheels were rolling, and even the people on the scooter were shaking. The mule cart was gradually moving away. Lu Gu took a look and then went back with Xiao Linger. Lingjun is young now, unlike Zhaoer who sees the mule cart run away. , leaning forward in Ji Qiuyue's arms, shouting to sit.
Jixing Town is not far away from the mule cart. Besides, Shen Xuanqing will be back in a few days. Before, he and Shen Xuanqing walked to Jixing Town, but it would take a long time. He would not be so reluctant if he thought so. .
Although there are few gatherings, there are many people in their family, and Lu Gu still has to take care of children. Now that he has enough money and enough money, there are not so many troubles. When the weather changes occasionally, he can't help but think about Shen Xuanqing's side. What happened, until Shen Xuanqing came back, he was happy and happy again.
Life goes on like this, the rotation of the four seasons of the year does not change, and it is also the rotation of people going and returning.
After the shop's business gradually stabilized, Shen Xuanqing did not forget to apply for Lu Gu's household registration, and spent money to restore Lu Gu's good registration. Unlike the private private marriage he once wrote with Lu Wen, he found someone to rewrite the marriage certificate. , The official seal was stamped by the government, and it was the official media marriage certificate that passed Minglu. Finally, Lu Gu was passed to their household registration. The first job here, but after spending some money, it was finally done.
The household registration yellow book is only in the government office. After he returned with the wooden talisman that showed the identity of the good people, Lu Gu touched it several times with joy.
Winter goes to spring, and the greenery is more than a day.
The calf flicked its tail and bowed its head to eat grass. There were not many flowers blooming in early spring. Once you found one or two fresh flowers in the grass, even if the flowers were small, it was enough to make people smile.
Lu Gu came out to dig wild vegetables with Ling Ge'er and Ji Qiuyue on his back. It was inconvenient for him to bend down and straighten up with his child on his back.
Ji Qiuyue carried the basket, picked up the tender wild vegetables to dig, crouched down to work and said, "Qi'er second brother comes back tomorrow and brings him some wild vegetable steamed buns to see if there is any wild vegetable digging over there, but the town It's not very convenient to go up, if not, let's dig some and let Erqing take it, anyway, we can eat there, and it's easy to grow wild vegetables, so it's better to eat more."
"It's time to get some. Erqing will come back and let him hold the child. I can also come out to dig. I heard that my wife's legs and feet have suffered from the wind and cold, and they are not as neat as before. It is definitely not easy to squat when digging wild vegetables." Lu Gu agreed.
Just after he finished speaking, Ji Qiuyue saw a cluster of bright yellow flowers in the grass, picked one and handed it to him, smiling: "It's really small."
Lu Gu took the flower and smiled, Lingjun shouted from behind, he wanted to give the flower to his son, but he was afraid that the child would put the wild flower in his mouth, so he had to give up, and patted brother Xiaoling behind him with the other hand, After walking a few steps in place, and then dangling his back lightly, he heard Brother Ling'er laughing twice.
Children are like this, as long as they play with him, they will laugh when they are happy.
After digging up a basket full of wild vegetables, Ji Qiuyue went home to wash, and steamed the kneaded noodles tonight while they were fresh. Lu Gu carried the child to herd cattle by the river, and drove the calf home after a while.
Although there were six dogs, Shen Yan was doing needlework alone in the house, and it was better for two people to stay together in such a large courtyard.
Today Zhao'er was carried by Wei Lanxiang and asked Shen Yaoqing to lead the ox cart of the Sanfang family back to her mother's house, carrying two rabbits.
Their mule cart is in Jixing Town, and Shen Xuanqing can travel back and forth. Shen Yaoqing does not need to take care of the rabbits, chickens and ducks in his and Yang Xian's tavern, but the rabbits to be delivered in the brothel in Fenggu Town have been borrowed from other people's houses recently. a mule cart or an ox cart.
Although the calf wears a nose ring, it is still less than two years old. The ox here does not start teaching ploughing or pulling carts until it reaches the age of two. When it is three years old, it starts to work in the field, and the ox grows like a calf. Mature and strong, the next seven or eight years will be the time to be strong.
The calf is young, and if someone looks at it, it will plough the land. Last year, the fall harvest helped the family help the family. Farming cattle is expensive, and the road is short. The mule cart and the ox cart have to be borrowed from others. If someone else's family is in trouble, it is not easy to borrow it. For this reason, Shen Yaoqing wants to buy another mule for the family.
The ox cart is always slow, and few people make the ox run, after all, it is not as long and nimble as the mule's legs.
If I want to send the rabbit to Fenggu Town as soon as possible, it is better to use a mule cart. The existing mule was bought by Shen Xuanqing before. When he rushed to Jixing Town, his family was useless. There will never be any complaints, but you can't walk past the rabbits when you send them, how can you get more than a dozen rabbits.
After saving it in the past two or three years, Shen Yaoqing also had money in his hand. He could afford a mule for five taels, so he thought of getting one himself, so that it would be easy to turn around when he went out. , buy another mule, if he goes to send rabbits, chickens and ducks, there is no need to borrow it from others.
Ji Qiuyue is ambitious. She has no bad thoughts about living as a family, but she feels that for several years, no matter what the family buys, Shen Xuanqing bought it. When people came to see it, they said it was bought by Daqing, otherwise it would appear that Shen Yaoqing was also capable.
Besides, when the mule cart is not often at home, she sometimes wants to take Zhao'er back to her parents' home. The fat boy can carry him all the way or carry it all the way. He is used to riding the mule cart, so he knows how to relax and is naturally willing to buy it.
On the other hand, Wei Lanxiang felt that it was a bit redundant. There was already a mule at home, so why bother to spend more to buy it? There are few people in the countryside who have cows and mules, and most of them use messengers. Needless to say, when Shen Xuanqing came back with the mule cart, wouldn't it work just as well.
Shen Yaoqing told her that they would go to Fenggu Town Building two or three times in less than a month. If their family kept borrowing calves over one year old, it would seem that they only care about their own cattle, and others will inevitably make irresponsible remarks. Borrowing is not an option. If you don't borrow it, ask her if she would like to pull the cart for a long journey, and she will stop talking.
Buying a mule is not so fast, not only to go to the meeting, but also to inquire about it. It is best to get a strong one, and it is not sloppy.
"Moo."
Lu Gu closed the wooden fence of the cow pen and imitated the sound of the calf. He heard Xiao Linger laugh behind him, and then he picked up the bucket next to him and poured it into the trough.
The calf ate the grass for a while, and then buried its head in the water trough to drink, and it was a pleasure to drink.
The lambs in the sheepfold have grown into big sheep, and the two ewes, who were kept together with the rams in the winter, are now full of stomachs, and they will be able to lay the lambs in about three months. When the autumn harvest is busy, breeding is early this year.
