MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 7
Wei Lanxiang sat in the courtyard to breathe and did some needlework. When she saw Ji Qiuyue coming out of the new house, she lowered her eyes and sewed her pockets, and asked, "How have you been seeing him these two days?"
Ji Qiuyue sat down beside her, took out the half-finished shoe soles from the sewing basket at Wei Lanxiang's feet and put them away.
"Mother, don't say anything else, at least be honest, let you do whatever you do, don't say anything, write everything on your face, your mind is much better than that Lu Wen."
Ji Qiuyue's tone was light and light, but because she was worried that Lu Gu was still sleeping in the room, her voice was lower than usual, and she added, "I like to be clean, so I washed my face and feet before going to bed."
"It's just too honest, it looks a bit silly, and I don't even dare to use a cloth towel. I guess he is quite afraid of the second brother."
After hearing that, Wei Lanxiang shook her head with a sigh, but she had to admit it now, and said, "It's good to be honest, as long as you do your duty and can live with the second child, you will come out with courage."
"It's not mother, the second brother just talks less. He looks like a first-class handsome, and has a good temper. After waiting for a long time, he will naturally know it." Ji Qiuyue smiled, she said this to her own family , the other is Wei Lanxiang loves to listen.
Sure enough, Wei Lanxiang smiled, and her face was mostly sad. She heard the hens clucking in the backyard and said, "It's laying eggs, I got up early and went to pick them up and touched them. You look at them and pick them up, and wait until tomorrow. Count ten to make up the whole, and then take a piece of meat and go back to see your mother."
"Got it, mother." Ji Qiuyue said as she got up to get the basket hanging under the kitchen eaves, smiling all over her face.
Her mother was ill a few days ago, but because she was busy with Shen Xuanqing's marriage, she only took a quick look.
Or to say that everyone likes to listen to good things, she picks up what her mother-in-law likes to hear and says a few words, her mother-in-law is happy and she is happy, and Shen Yaoqing is also happy to see her joking with her mother-in-law, isn't this better than anything else?
Now the weather is hot, the hens don’t lay eggs well, and the price has gone up. Even in the past, it is not easy to eat. You have to save up to sell them. These eggs can be regarded as precious things in the family. It is only important events like getting married that I can eat it often, and this is still saved two months in advance.
Ten eggs are a rarity anyway. Pork is too oily to eat. If you add a piece of these eggs, it will give her mother a few days to replenish her body.
Although she was going back to her parents' house, Ji Qiuyue took these back to save her face, and told her little sister-in-law who was picky and picky to have nothing to say.
The others were busy with their own work, only Lu Gu slept all afternoon.
When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned for a while before he woke up. He looked out of the courtyard window and someone looked in. When Ji Qiuyue saw him getting up, he smiled and said, "Wake up, say you have a good meal, don't eat now, just now. I was thinking of calling you."
Yesterday's unhappiness at the Lu family is over, what kind of ability is a frowning face, since the husband has chosen Lu Gu, it is better for the family to live in harmony.
After breakfast, he went to sleep, woke up and ate again. No one beat or scolded him. This was something that had never happened to Lu Gu, so he quickly went out to help, for fear of taking a step back.
After thinking about it, Wei Lanxiang finally felt lighter. She was sitting under the eaves and packing up the sewing basket. When Lu Gu came out, she saw her, and her face showed some fear and confusion, and she stopped in place.
Ji Qiuyue saw that he was cramped, and remembered that no one had mentioned her husband's affairs to Lu Gu, so she smiled and said, "Don't call my mother, my mother asked me to steam a bowl of egg custard for you, but I can't feel the pain in vain. "
Lu Gu is timid, he is timid only when he is frightened, and usually he will wink a little, otherwise he would have been beaten and scolded by Du Hehua for excuses.
Hearing Ji Qiuyue say this, he opened his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't believe it, he hesitated and whispered, "Mother."
Wei Lanxiang was not someone who was acting like a mother-in-law, so she didn't deliberately show Lu Gu's face. Seeing that Lu Gu was obedient in everything and everything, she was still well-behaved, so she nodded lightly and agreed.
The quacking of ducks came from outside the yard, Shen Yan carried a small fish basket, Shen Xuanqing followed behind her, and came back with two bales of grass on her back.
Many people dare not go into the deep mountains, so they often catch hares and pheasants on the periphery. It is because these things on the outer mountains are rarer than before, and they are all ghosts and ghosts, and not every time there is a harvest.
Shen Yan threw the job of chasing the ducks to Shen Xuanqing, and brought the fish basket to Lu Gu. She had mud spots on her sleeves and pant legs, but her eyes were bright. She showed the fish basket to Lu Gu and said: "Brother Lu Gu, look, brother Erqing and I caught it, and we went back and ate the soup."
In the fish basket are some loach and small fish with long fingers. Although the appearance is not good, the stewed soup is the most delicious, especially the loach, which can also nourish the body.
Shen Yan was so happy that Lu Gu hurriedly brought the kitchen basin over when she saw that she was going to pour it out for two days to vomit mud and sand.
Shen Yaoqing also came back with the **** on his back, seeing the muddy water on Shen Yan's body, he knew what was going on. Compared to yesterday's cloud cover, the family members had a bit of a smile on their faces, making him happy too, and grabbed Shen Yan. The pigtail asked, "Have you had enough?"
In the past two years, the family's situation was not good, and Shen Yan also did a lot of things. Every day she put ducks and grasses, and sometimes she had to do some needlework. She couldn't even find time to play. Today, Shen Xuanqing didn't play. When I got to Rabbit, I took her to the river to dig loach. This was a rare play for her, and she was naturally happy.
"Sister-in-law, look at him!" Shen Yan was sore, and she knew that she couldn't beat her, so her brows were tangled together, and she hurriedly called Ji Qiuyue.
With a soft sound of "snap", Shen Yaoqing was hit on the back of the head. After being beaten by his wife on tiptoe, he laughed and stopped messing with Shen Yan.
A few loach fluttered in the basin, and the water splashed outside. Shen Yan used chopsticks to dip a few drops of oil into the basin, so that he could spit out the mud.
The clouds in the evening were dyed orange, and the wind blew away the heat of the day. The family gathered to eat together, happily and harmoniously, which was a very unfamiliar scene for Lu Gu.
In front of him was the only bowl of egg custard on the table, which Ji Qiuyue said was steamed for him alone.
Without the distress of yesterday, Shen Yaoqing spoke more, and compared to his eldest brother in his twenties, Shen Xuanqing, who was five years younger, spoke less prudently.
Lu Gu felt that this bowl of egg custard was too precious, and he didn't dare to eat it at all, so he gave way to Wei Lanxiang and said, "Mother, eat it."
Although the voice of shouting mother was small, but seeing that he was still sensible and humble, Wei Lanxiang felt better, smiled at Lu Gu, and pushed the bowl back.
Because Shen Xuanqing has already recognized Lu Gu as the new husband, and she wants to live with the second child in the future, it is also a big thing in her heart, so she casually mentions: "No, I have eaten all these days. If you don't like to eat it, you can eat it, and the injury will heal after eating, and you will give it to us in the future..."
Having said this, Wei Lanxiang felt bad and turned around quickly: "You will cook and do laundry for us Erqing in the future."
What she originally wanted to say was to give birth to a big fat boy for Shen Xuanqing, but when she reached her lips, she knew it was not good, so she hurriedly took it back, but after all she heard it, Ji Qiuyue paused and frowned.
"Eating and eating, it's not good if it's cold." Shen Yaoqing rounded up the situation, and even put vegetables in Ji Qiuyue's bowl as a show of flattery.
Lu Gu didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously held his breath, for fear that he would say a word or do something wrong and make others unhappy.
He didn't know, Ji Qiuyue had been married for three years, and the family life was good when she first got married, but he didn't think that Shen Shunfu was gone, and it became difficult. He couldn't even eat, and everyone had to work hard to earn money. For money, Shen Yaoqing discussed with her whether or not to have sex.
Otherwise, the child will suffer and even adults will be dragged down. It is not easy to nurse a child, not to mention the nourishing things for confinement, and the milk may not be enough, so she has not made any movement in the past three years.
Besides, I can't tell anyone about this. I can't say that my family is not living well and I can't afford it. When I say this, Shen Yaoqing has to slap himself a few times.
The two of them didn't say much about this, but the rest of the Shen family knew a little of the reason, but outsiders didn't. For the farmers, getting married and having children was the same thing. Some gossip, but also made her listen to her ears, which inevitably made her feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Ji Qiuyue stopped lowering her head soon, and she regained her spirits. Wei Lanxiang knew she had said the wrong thing, and pushed her favorite dishes over there, saying, "Qiuyue, are you not? Love this rabbit meat, eat more."
Shen Yaoqing was even more rude, and brought it directly to his daughter-in-law, which caused Ji Qiuyue to complain.
—
The sun went down and another day passed.
If you don't work at night, naturally the lights will not be lit for a long time. After dark, the Shen family went back to the house to rest and sleep.
Lu Gu was lying upright on the bed, his entire figure seemed to be frozen, not daring to move at will.
It stands to reason that after marrying, the two children are going to sleep outside. It is good to prevent the husband from pouring tea and water at night, but Shen Xuanqing is used to sleeping alone, and he feels uncomfortable when there is a person outside, so he pushes him in. .
When entering the room before, only the two of them were left when the doors and windows were closed, and Lu Gu was almost frightened by the tall and strong man standing beside the bed.
Speaking of which, he had never been so close to Shen Xuanqing, and even because of the overwhelming sense of oppression, he didn't dare to look at Shen Xuanqing's appearance, until today there is only a vague outline.
He probably knew that Shen Xuanqing was cold and fierce, but as long as he didn't provoke him.
As for his appearance, he was busy discussing life carefully, and he had to think about filling his stomach. He didn't even care what he looked like, let alone others.
The two just lay together like this, and Lu Gu was barely breathing.
The night was getting dark, and there were a few barks coming from the backyard, which soon subsided. He thought he would keep his eyes open all night, but as Shen Xuanqing by his side didn't make any big movements, his breathing gradually became steady, letting Lu Lu Gu also slowly closed his eyes.
The injury on the forehead has not yet healed, making him always feel dizzy, and his body has been depleted due to lack of food for the past few years, so even if he slept all afternoon during the day, he finally fell asleep.
