The Sweet Little Fulang

Shen Xuanqing never came back at night, and Lu Gu heard the movement of Shen Yaoqing closing the courtyard door outside, so he rolled over and closed his eyes to sleep.

Mrs. Tang didn't use it on the table. The house was better than the mountain, not so cold. Before going to bed, her thoughts were lightly disturbed. Lu Gu thought again, Shen Xuanqing would definitely come back tomorrow, and he felt more at ease.

The night was silent, the next day was cloudy, the sun peeked out of the clouds every now and then for a little while, knowing that it would not rain.

Lu Gu carried the bamboo basket and took a small hoe, and went up the mountain with Shen Yanji Qiuyue to look for the sweet nest root.

Shen Yaoqing followed them up the mountain, carrying a hemp rope on his shoulders with a hatchet in his waist. He wanted to get some firewood and sell it in the town. By the way, he looked for suitable trees on the mountain, and then he went back to find someone to cut some and store them for the winter. use.

When he felt tired after working hard at the dock for a few days, he would rest at home for half a day. It doesn’t have to be so urgent to pay off his debts. Twenty or twenty texts, anyway, is an income.

It’s easy to sell firewood and fish, so he doesn’t buy food in the town. They spend very little money on food and drink when they go home. They grow it themselves or get it in the mountains and rivers. There are a lot of them coming down.

Now that it is peaceful and prosperous, there are no natural and man-made disasters to disturb, and ordinary people as long as they are diligent and have enough to eat is no problem.

"Be careful." Shen Yaoqing saw that they had found a clump of sweet nest grass, so he went to the woods alone to gather firewood.

"Okay, let's go." Ji Qiuyue responded.

Da Hui was sniffing everywhere, and the dog ran after him. Lu Gu didn't care when he saw that they didn't go far. After Shen Yan cut the sweet nest grass with a sickle, he turned over the soil with a **** and quickly removed it from the ground. There are a lot of sweet nest roots.

It's not good for the two of them to swing their hoes together, and it's easy to bump into each other. If they get hurt, it will be bad. Ji Qiuyue looked for sweet nest roots elsewhere, but she really found a small bush. Get busy.

"It's hard to find the mountains in the front. If you want to get some more, you should go deeper." Shen Yan squatted on the ground, took a big sweet nest root and knocked it on the ground, rubbing the wet soil on it. After knocking down the block, he wiped off most of the soil with his hands before throwing it into the bamboo basket.

"I found a lot in the mountains, but it was too heavy, and Erqing couldn't pull it down, so I didn't dig anymore." Lu Gu also squatted down to pick up the sweet nest root.

Shen Yan said, "Brother Guzi, you don't have to go that far, just go a little deeper. When the weather turns cold and there is less work at the pier, my sister-in-law and I will let Brother Daqing go together, otherwise Lin Ziyishen will be a little scared. It's the second brother who is following, so don't worry."

That's it, Lu Gu nodded, the sweet nest root grows underground, and it is a wild vegetable that can survive the winter. When he and Shen Xuanqing no longer go up the mountain, as long as the weather is good and it doesn't rain or snow, they can also go into the mountain to dig.

"Wow!" The dog suddenly barked.

Lu Gu looked over subconsciously, and Da Hui was digging a hole in the ground quickly. He had seen this scene, and he was catching voles.

Sure enough, after the earth hole was dug, a very fat vole was caught, and after a few struggles, it was bitten by the big ash with a muffled sound, and the dead couldn't die any longer.

Da Hui has been raised in the Shen family for almost two years, so Shen Yan and Ji Qiuyue naturally knew that it could catch voles, and could even tell the difference between mice and voles.

If it catches a mouse at home, it will kill it, but it won't eat it. If it is diligent, it will take it out and throw it away. When it is lazy, it will be thrown in the yard and thrown out when people see it. If it catches a field mouse, it will catch people. Come and let it be cooked and cooked.

Ji Qiuyue was close to it, and the big ash approached it with the big field mouse in her mouth. She picked a large leaf and put it on the ground. She touched the leaf with her finger and said, "Go back and get it for you, and put it on top of it first."

Da Hui saw that her fingers were clicking on the leaves, so he lowered his head and let go of his mouth, and put the field mouse on it.

"Really spiritual." Ji Qiuyue said with a smile, she was quite afraid of things like mice and voles, so it would be better to wrap them in leaves, and if they came across Daqing, let him peel the skin, otherwise the leather belt would be bad. bake.

The puppy barked at the dead vole for a while. Seeing that the vole didn't move at all, he leaned in and smelled it. Then he turned to play. Teng Teng Teng ran to Lu Gu's side and ran away. The ability to catch voles.

Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu said that the son of a **** is smart, but he is a little playful when he is young, and he is lazy and refuses to learn his skills.

Lu Gu had never raised a dog before, so he didn't know that the dog was so human-like, and the temperaments of the four dogs in the family were different, which was very interesting.

The three of them came out and carried two bamboo baskets on their backs. Even the big and the small group only dug up about 20 sweet nests. After searching for a while, they couldn't find them again. Ji Qiuyue kept muttering in her heart when she saw the big voles.

It's okay to kill fish and chickens, she didn't want to peel the skin of this thing, thinking that the time is not short, according to the past, Shen Yaoqing should have prepared firewood, and shouted to Da Hui: "Go find Daqing."

After listening to Da Hui, he turned around and ran towards the woods. The dog cubs followed him. Lu Gu originally wanted to stop the good boy, but when he saw that he was much older than before, he was not afraid of Da Hui following him in the front mountain. Mouth opened and closed again.

When Shen Yaoqing was waiting, they didn't have time to spare, so Shen Yan pulled some green grass and branches and leaves for the rabbit, and after a while, they all turned yellow, and said, "Mother said that in these two days, the mother rabbit should give birth to the brood. It's colder and more nests are needed, and it's better to live warmer."

Hearing this, Lu Gu also squatted down to pick up the tender branches and leaves, and said, "Then feed it better, there will be no green grass to eat in the future."

Ji Qiuyue couldn't help laughing when she heard the conversation between the two of them. Shen Yan didn't say it. She was still a child. Lu Gu looked a few years older. .

After a while, Shen Yaoqing came over with two bundles of firewood. He didn't bring a pole, he chopped a sturdy branch and carried it on his shoulders. When selling firewood, he sold this branch together, and it was lighter when he came back.

He thought he had something to do with Da Hui looking for him, but he didn't think it was skinning the field mouse, but since his wife had spoken, he smiled and put down the firewood and did as instructed.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xiangjun brought Shen Yu to visit, and sat under the eaves with Wei Lanxiang to take the soles of his shoes.

"Grandma, eat dried persimmons, and Brother Yu will eat them too." Ji Qiuyue brought some dried persimmons over.

"Okay." Zhou Xiangjun nodded with a smile and stopped to eat.

Shen Yu is a twin with red marks on the eyebrows. She is a little younger. She is only fourteen this year. She sits next to Eminem and embroiders a handkerchief. He has a round face and big eyes. The outlines are a bit similar to Shen Yan, and the rest of the Shen family say that their round faces look like Grandma's.

"Brother Guzi, I'll give you one." Shen Yu ate dried persimmons by himself and helped Lu Gu beside him.

Lu Gu took it over with slightly curved eyebrows. He happened to be embroidering handkerchiefs when the third grandmother and Brother Yu came, and Brother Yu sat with him.

"If the millet still wants to eat dried jujube, come over and get it. This year, it's better." Zhou Xiangjun said when he remembered Lu Gu's lack of energy and blood before.

Hearing this, Wei Lanxiang said, "You've been bothered, I haven't finished eating the half of my pocket last time, and I still have some at home."

She remembered the wild bath beads that were not sold out, and said to Ji Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, put some wild bath beads for your third grandmother."

If you eat other people's jujubes, you must not give anything, otherwise you will eat them in vain. For Lu Gu, wild bath beads are easy to pick without much effort, so naturally there will be no objection.

While eating persimmons and working, Wei Lanxiang and Zhou Xiangjun were gossiping while Lu Gu listened to the people and things in the village.

By nature, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't chew his tongue behind his back. He silently writes down that he just feels that he will live in Qingxi Village in the future. No matter who he sees, he will know in his heart what that person is like, and he can also pick up and talk to people who are good at talking. Contacts, too powerful, he may not be able to talk to others.

Shen Yan chopped up the chicken grass and came over, seeing Lu Gu and the others embroidering handkerchiefs, and also came out to join in the fun, learning to embroider a few delicate flowers.

A few people were chatting and laughing in the yard, and it was quite lively. Not long after, there were two dog barks at the door. Da Hui was originally fighting and playing with other dogs in the village, but now he came back behind Shen Xuanqing.

As soon as Lu Gu looked up, he saw Shen Xuanqing, his eyes lit up slightly, he was quite excited but didn't know how to express it, so he subconsciously stood up.

But there were still people at home. Wei Lanxiang was very happy when she saw her son coming back. She put down her work and wanted to go forward to greet him and help Shen Xuanqing unload the bamboo basket.

"Grandma and Brother Yu are here." Shen Xuanqing called Zhou Xiangjun first, and then said to Wei Lanxiang, "No need, mother, just sit down, there is nothing in the basket."

That being the case, Wei Lanxiang sat down again.

Lu Gu was a little nervous as he clutched the corner of his clothes, but when Shen Xuanqing looked at him, this nervousness turned into something else. He stepped forward a few steps and saw Shen Xuanqing unloading the bamboo basket, because there were several people there, he was a little shy Feeling at a loss, but still asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten, I'll cook for you."

Seeing that Shen Xuanqing took a wooden basin to wash his hands, he went into the kitchen and scooped a gourd of water out.

Wei Lanxiang in the back looked at the two of them and pursed their lips and smiled. It was different when there was a husband. The second child's eyes didn't look at anyone else.

"Er Qing went to town?" Zhou Xiangjun asked in a sly voice.

"No, I went to Jixing Town to see his master by the way." Wei Lanxiang replied.

It's not that she didn't tell Zhou Xiangjun thoroughly. In the daytime, people in the village pass by the gate of their house when going up and down the mountain. There are ears on the partition wall.

They were chatting and chatting, Lu Gu was busy with Shen Xuanqing's meal in the kitchen, Ji Qiuyue originally wanted to help him, but when she saw Shen Xuanqing washed her face and hands and sat down in front of the stove to start the fire, she smiled quietly and went out without disturbing The second youth of their family wanted to stay with the husband.

When Ji Qiuyue got married three years ago, Shen Xuanqing was only fifteen years old, and the half-year-old boy grew up and married in a blink of an eye, and knowing that she was with her husband tired, she was a eldest sister-in-law, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
