MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 8

Farmers don’t have a few days of free time throughout the year, and not long after the roosters croak, the Qingxi Village at the foot of the mountain gradually has a voice.

Lu Gu slept well yesterday, and when Shen Xuanqing moved, he also woke up. After all, he didn't oversleep, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

The words of Ji Qiuyue and Wei Lanxiang made him realize before he fell asleep last night that although he was sold to the Shen family, he was a little different from the servants and servants of the wealthy families. He still wanted to give it to Shen Xuanqing Be a husband.

This is nothing compared to anything else. He never thought that he would still be a husband one day, so he was a little caught off guard.

Shen Xuanqing got up, and Lu Gu also sat up in panic, for fear of being told to be lazy. No one taught him how to serve his husband after he got married, and the hands on the thin quilt clenched subconsciously.

Shen Xuanqing put on his shoes and went to the ground. To him, Lu Gu's existence was very obvious, after all, there was only one quilt at night. At this point, although he had a complete falling out with the Lu family, Lu Gu was already his husband, so it was always inappropriate to hang out in the cold.

He stood beside the bed and saw that Lu Gu was nervous and his face turned pale. The fine linen wrapped around his head was a little loose because he slept all night, so he finally found the words and said, "Wang Langzhong said that today we will Change dressings in the past, get up and pack up, and go there while it's cool in the morning."

Lu Gu nodded again and again, fearing that Shen Xuanqing would be unhappy if he didn't speak, he hurriedly said in a low voice, "Okay."

The husband was less courageous than a rabbit, so Shen Xuanqing frowned. Fortunately, Lu Gu lowered his head and didn't see it, otherwise he would have been frightened for several days.

The Shen family got up one after another to wash up in the courtyard. Even Lu Gu used a new basin and a new cloth last night, and even the green salt to clean his teeth and rinse his mouth. This was originally prepared for marrying the new husband. After all, Lu Wen had been studying in the town for a few days, and he had some common things in the town.

When he was in the Lu family, the green salt he had to spend money to buy was not Lu Gu’s share. Afraid that people would say that the pickling was dirty, he would break the willow branches, bite them to clean his teeth, or chew one in his mouth. chew.

There was a faint wisp of smoke from the chimney, Ji Qiuyue boiled the water, and by the way, heated some steamed cakes with miscellaneous noodles.

Normally, people in the village eat two meals a day, unless they eat three meals a day when farming is busy, and the Shen family has two young and middle-aged men who work a lot and have a big appetite. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to work on an empty stomach.

However, this is also the case recently, so I can eat like this, which would never have been possible in the past two years. Except for Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing, who ate two steamed cakes, the other four all had half of them. They ate too much oil and meat in the past few days, so they grabbed a bowl of small pickles and ate them.

Eating in the morning is simple. There is no need to put chopsticks on the table, so Ji Qiuyue directly passes it into his hand when he divides the cake. Even small pickles are good at pinching, and a few people squat or stand in the yard to eat.

Lu Gu was holding half of the steamed cake. The cake was soft and warm. After everyone else took it, he squeezed the small pickles from the bowl. He learned how the rest of the Shen family sandwiched the cake, and it was salty and crispy when he took a bite. , but it goes very well with steamed pancakes.

He was able to drink a few sips of hot water and eat so early, and even he had a share, making Lu Gu feel a little grateful while he was panicking.

Farmers rarely chew and swallow slowly, and the steamed cakes are not too big. Shen Xuanqing can solve it in three or two bites, and two cakes are enough for him to get up early in the morning. Lu Gu has been secretly looking at him, and he eats fast, for fear of delaying the time to go out.

"Mother, I'll go change the medicine with him." Shen Xuanqing said to Wei Lanxiang, and the two went out one after the other.

It was early, the sun had just risen.

This summer is hotter than before, but Qingxi Village is close to the mountains, so it's still a little chilly in the morning, but it won't let people freeze.

Lu Gu followed Shen Xuanqing out of the village and met several people along the way.

The story of the Shen family spread in Qingxi Village, and everyone was curious. At this time, seeing a strange pair of children following Shen Xuanqing, they guessed that it was another pair of the Lu family, and looked at them with their eyes.

Anyone who shares this kind of thing feels aggrieved, and no one leans forward to ask, isn't this a bad thing, so I just quietly looked and watched.

Being stared at, Lu Gu's head lowered. If he hadn't been able to see Shen Xuanqing's legs and feet, he would have been trembling with fright.

In the early morning, it was women and husbands who swept the yard and the door. Not many men came out. Although most of them were looking at Lu Gu, Shen Xuanqing noticed that someone was quietly looking at him.

He didn't like being stared at, so he looked straight and frankly, and asked, "Uncle Lin, go down to the ground early?"

Lin Jinhu was caught, fortunately, he was watching Shen Xuanqing instead of Lu Gu. There was another step down, and he scratched his head and hit haha: "Yes, yes."

Although Shen Xuanqing was a frequent questioner, people with a wink knew that he was restrained, and his eyes fell on Lu Gu a lot less. The two did not stop, and went straight out of the village towards Anjia Village.

In the herbal medicine Langzhong's house, Wang Langzhong took off the blood-stained linen cloth on Lu Gu's head and put the herbal medicine on his forehead again.

He knew a little about the pulse, and gave Lu Gu a diagnosis, then shook his head and sighed: "The foundation is empty, it takes ten days for others, and it takes twenty days for you to recover from the injury, and you can't make it out for a while. Bring it back."

Wang Langzhong was getting old, and seeing Lu Gu was so thin, he couldn't help but ramble. It was Mamma Wang who gave him a wink to tell him not to say anything. He was shocked after realizing it. He looked up and saw that Shen Xuanqing's expression did not change. Don't worry about abandoning Lu Gu.

Most people marry a husband to live. It is not easy for peasants to marry a wife. Few are willing to marry a sick seedling and go back to drag them. Besides, Lu Gu was bought back by others. How can he care whether he can support himself or not, it is good if he is not thrown out of.

Once the medicine is finished, it is inconvenient to stay, and there are still various things to do when I go back. Shen Xuanqing asked Lu Gu when he came to change the medicine next time.

It is said that the road for the enemy is narrow, and the path they take will not pass in front of Lu's house, but who knows, she bumped into Du Hehua. She digs wild vegetables in the field behind the village, which is usually Lu Gu's job.

In her eyes, how could she not complain if she did more work for nothing, and cursed a few words from time to time.

She is embarrassed to Shen Xuanqing. Lu Daxiang is still lying on the bed today, and no one will give her a head, so even if she resents Lu Gu again, she is like the water mussels in the river, her mouth will be closed immediately, only in the After the two of them walked away, she turned back and spat on the ground.

It is the most incompetent to hit a woman, Du Hehua didn't even flirt today, and Shen Xuanqing didn't even bother to look at her.

As for Lu Gu, he had not been beaten in the Shen family for the past two days and still had enough to eat. When he saw that Du Hehua had called him to give birth to a seed, he no longer had to hear those harsh and unpleasant scolding, and his ears seemed to be clean. many.

After returning home, only Wei Lanxiang was at home, Shen Yaoqing sent his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, and Shen Yan put ducks in the pond behind the house.

Seeing that Wei Lanxiang was peeling the beans, Lu Gu hurried over to help. He squatted down in a hurry to work. It was Shen Xuanqing who moved a small stool for him to sit down.

When he was at Lu's house, no one would get him a stool, and asked Lu Gu to be more and more respectful towards Shen Xuanqing.

He understands that the Shen family treats him well today because they are good people, not as dark-hearted as Du Hehua. Days of being beaten and scolded for not having enough to eat.

Wei Lanxiang saw that his hands were quick and easy, and he didn't seem to be lazy or slippery at all, so he felt more at ease.

The dog in the backyard was called Jiggle. She saw that Lu Gu's face was much better today than yesterday, and when she saw Shen Xuanqing taking out the medicine bag from the kitchen, she said, "You go to the backyard first to collect the eggs, and come here to order the stove to fry the medicine, and this is the rest. No need for you to do it."

Lu Gu quickly got up and went under the kitchen eaves to get a bamboo basket. He saw Shen Yan use this to collect eggs yesterday.

The backyard of the Shen family had to enter from the road against the mud wall in the east, and it was about half a zhang wide, enough for two people to run side by side.

Originally, you could go to the back by passing through the main room, but most of the houses built in recent years have sealed the back of the main room with a mud wall, separating it from the backyard, and the same is true of the Shen family.

This was originally a layout only found in villages near Fenggu Town, and slowly spread to the surrounding area.

Farmers with a better life tend to raise some livestock, and they can sell them to earn more money if they are reluctant to eat them. However, raising livestock means that there will be a smell of feces, and in summer, dung flies will fly around.

By separating the backyard where the animals are raised from the main room, there will naturally be fewer flies flying in, and the smell of the house will be better and cleaner.

The Jin noble people in the town all pay attention to not eating clean, and the dirty and dark insects in the pickled sausage can easily cause people to get sick. Those high-ranking officials have said that now is a peaceful and prosperous year, and these gradually spread, even The people in the village are all willing to be particular about being particular about it, and it would be a good thing to talk about going out with the people in the town.

Lu Gu smelled the smell of burning medicine, and he saw grass and ash scattered all over the narrow road on the ground, and some unburned hay stems. He knew that he had lit the green medicine leaves and used the smoke and smell to drive away the flies and stop them. Buzzing and annoying people here.

The three walls in the backyard are all mud walls, not fence walls. It can be seen that the Shen family took great care when building the house.

Chickens and ducks are raised separately, and the Shen family’s backyard is quite large. The chicken pen is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and a dozen chickens are digging and pecking everywhere.

As soon as Lu Gu arrived in the backyard, he saw the three dogs on a leash, and Da Hui was alert for a moment, but after seeing him, he fell down. Only the two small dogs barked a few times. Fortunately, the chicken pen was far away from the kennel, so he wouldn't dare not go in.

There were chicken coops with hay mats and bamboo chicken coops on both sides of the chicken pen, and Lu Gu looked around looking for eggs.

I don't know how the hen lays eggs, but he asked him to turn over one under the chicken coop.

If you want to touch the eggs laid by others, of course, you have to take advantage of the hens not paying attention. Lu Gu quickly picked them up. The hens flapping their wings didn't peck at his hand, and walked away with a cluck.

Suddenly, Da Hui "rubbed" and stood up, biting in the direction of Lugu.

At the same time, Lu Gu's back was cold, and when he turned his head, he saw that the thin black dog that was supposed to be on a leash had gotten off the rope. The fangs are frightening.
