The Sweet Little Fulang

Laba porridge is boiled a lot, and it will last for several days.

The snow is white, and the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month can't stop the joy of the approaching New Year's Eve. Lu Gu has been very busy all winter, cooking and washing clothes and sewing and studying. Shen Xuanqing has to teach him boxing.

Now it's different. I can boil hot water for washing clothes, and I have Tang Po's hands and feet to warm my hands and feet when doing needlework and writing, and there are no frostbite cracks.

"Okay, that's it, there's no need to change it." Wei Lanxiang managed the new clothes on Shen Yan's body, and seeing her silly beauty, she smiled and said, "Take it off and wear it again during the New Year."

"Mother, why don't you go to the big fair tomorrow and buy some silk flowers?" Shen Yan said as she took off.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you." Wei Lanxiang agreed, then turned to Lu Gu and said, "I'll buy it for you too."

Lu Gu's new clothes have been tried on, and they fit well. They have been folded now. Hearing that, his eyes were slightly bent and he nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Shen Xuanqing bought him hairpins and bracelets, but Wei Lanxiang was different, how could he show this kindness? Besides, in the old years, no matter how many women had to wear some colorful silk flowers on their heads, they were bright and beautiful. Men will wear it in their hair, so it's a festive and lively scene.

"Er Qing comes back and asks him to try it, and if it doesn't fit, he will change it." Wei Lanxiang said.

"I know mother, then I will change it for him." Lu Gu nodded and said, he has been at home when making New Year's clothes, and he has learned a few skills. .

As he was talking, Shen Xuanqing came back outside and chatted with Ji Qiuyue.

After Shen Yan changed her clothes, Lu Gu picked up the two clothes and went out.

"Mother, the third uncle said that he would lend us the ox cart the day after tomorrow, and it's fine to put on his scooter. It's ready-made." Shen Xuanqing said.

"Well, that's easy." Wei Lanxiang nodded and asked Ji Qiuyue: "Go to Liangzhang Bridge the day after tomorrow, will you follow along?"

Ji Qiuyue said with a smile: "It's natural, I'll join in to catch up with the big fair."

Since she was pregnant, Shen Yaoqing watched her closely because of the freezing weather and slippery roads. She was not allowed to go out. She was in the village at home all day long. It's too boring to stay at home.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing went back to the room to try on the clothes. Shen Xuanqing was so tall that it was inconvenient for him to help him undress, so he could only stand by and watch.

"It's pretty good." Shen Xuanqing said after changing his arms and legs, he wasn't very particular about dressing, he just needed to be warm and clean.

Lu Gu helped to smooth out the fabric on his back, stood a few steps farther and looked over. Shen Xuanqing had broad shoulders, narrow waist, tall and straight, and even the commoner held up his style and looked appropriate everywhere.

"Then there is no need to change it." Lu Gu said after reading it.

"Yours is ready?" Shen Xuanqing asked as she unbuttoned her new clothes.

Lu Gu smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I've tried everything."

His smiling eyes were like stars, and his cheeks were lustrous and white, making Shen Xuanqing unable to hold back, he reached out and touched his face for a while, and then lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.

Lu Gu is both shy and happy. Whenever he gets close to Shen Xuanqing, it makes him feel at ease, but he touches his face during the day, and the words in his ears sound serious, but Shen Xuanqing takes the opportunity to kiss him on the side of the neck after speaking. A little out of order.

The big fair at Liangzhang Bridge has been held for several days. Today is the day to go to the market in the second room of the Shen family. The door is locked and the family of six goes. Only the dog is left at home to prevent thieves. Have to look good.

Shen Shunwang prepared the bullock cart early in the morning, and when they came, he quickly put it on the bullock.

"The third uncle, let's go first." Shen Xuanqing said while holding the cow rope.

Shen Shunwang took out the cigarette pouch and pot at his waist, and nodded when he heard the words: "Go, second sister-in-law is slower on the road."

"Hey, I see." Wei Lanxiang smiled.

Although the ox cart is slow, the oxen are very strong in pulling things, and there is no need for people to walk back from the Liangzhang Bridge with a bamboo basket on their back.

This cow, Shen Shunwang, was in his prime. Fortunately, he had a docile temperament. He also recognized the brothers Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing, and walked forward obediently.

When they came out today, because the sun was always blocked by clouds and the wind was blowing from time to time, they all wore badgers leather collars, otherwise the cold wind would blow straight into their necks.

The fur is just different, light and warm.

In order to take care of Ji Qiuyue, they walked slowly and leisurely, and they had to say a few words when they met the villagers on the way.

"Lanxiang, are you going to the fair?" Nanny Ah Jin saw it in the courtyard and hurriedly came out to ask.

"Yes." Wei Lanxiang smiled.

Nanny Ah Jin said, "Then you bring me a packet of stove candy, Xiao Shunzi is a gluttonous monkey, so there's only a little left for stove candy."

Wei Lanxiang said, "Sure, come back and I'll call you at the door."

"Hey good." She didn't need to run away about Zhantang, Nanny Ajin smiled.

The ox cart squeaked out of the village. After walking for a while, the foot became more and more muddy. Shen Xuanqing pulled the ox to a stop and said, "If you are tired, get on the cart."

The road to Liangzhangqiao was far away, so Shen Yaoqing helped Ji Qiuyue onto the ox cart. Wei Lanxiang was accustomed to walking under her feet, and she didn't take the car before she could not walk, so Lu Gu and Shen Yan went up.

One of the brothers led the bull and the other supported the cart. Shen Yaoqing was happy as they walked. The sky was high and far away. He opened his voice and sang folk songs that others could not understand. With a different kind of fun.

The big set is really lively. The two sides of the bridge are added together, and there are two miles of land along the way, not to mention there are people who are carrying load and selling, and the voices of people are rushing to each other. Those who bring children out must be led, otherwise they will be easily lost if they are squeezed. Kidnapped away.

Even when Lu Gu saw so many people, he tightly held hands with Shen Yan and followed the ox cart without a single step.

The big set sells everything, such as couplets and peach talismans, door gods New Year pictures, wine and meat, fruit snacks, incense candles, paper money, ingot candles, pots and pans, dustpans and brooms, and sharpeners and scissors.

The gongs rang, and the jugglers held up the torches in the field and spit out the wine with a "pop", and the flames "surge" to burn into a long dragon. , the copper plate thrown over is a little more.

Seeing a person selling silk flower head ropes, Shen Yan hurriedly called her mother, the stall was huge, and there were so many flowers and colorful ropes on display, it was dazzling.

Going all the way to buy, there are more and more things on the ox cart, Tusu wine glue teeth, dried fruit candied fruit, sweets and pastries, couplets New Year pictures and window paper almanacs, Taofu door gods and ghost eating Zhongkui, as well as offerings for graves and offerings to gods and Buddhas.

I also bought a lot of firecrackers, two-kicking marezi, as well as Huoqihua and Taipinghua.

Lanterns are hung during the Chinese New Year, and only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but there are already all kinds of lanterns that sell them. The countryside is no better than the town and the market.

The lanterns are gorgeous and come in all kinds of colors. Lu Gu and Shen Yan glanced at this one and another, and thought they were all beautiful.

"Buy a few more if you want." Shen Xuanqing came over and said to him, seeing a very beautiful golden-red trottering palace lantern with five-colored tassel dangling, and directly asked for the price.

It was expensive, but he still bought it. He was also happy to have a lantern to play with during the Chinese New Year.

Even the paper kite sellers are here. As long as the spring starts and the weather is fine and the wind is good, the paper kites can be put up.

I was happy to be rich this year, and the ready-made paper kites were beautiful. Wei Lanxiang bought Shen Yan a flying swallow paper kite. After Shen Xuanqing picked an eagle kite for Lu Gu, she also paid for it.

There are so many people and many things in the market. Don't look at it for so long, picking and worrying about getting lost. It's quite tiring.

The fried oil cake pancakes smell delicious, as well as the miscellaneous braised soup with Yangchun noodle soup wontons, and the roasted chicken sandwiches with shortbread.

Lu Gu had no idea and wanted to eat the same as Shen Xuanqing, but after Shen Xuanqing asked him, he whispered that he wanted to eat Yangchun noodles.

There were too many things to eat, and the six people all picked what they wanted to eat. Ji Qiuyue had miscellaneous stewed soup and pancakes, Shen Yaoqing had jelly and pork buns, Wei Lanxiang liked sweet fried oil cakes, Shen Yan Want the soup wontons and meatloaf.

Shen Xuanqing brought a bowl of Yangchun noodles to Lu Gu. He ate the miscellaneous stewed soup, and gave Lu Gu some pork offal. He bought three crispy and warm shortbreads and they shared it.

After eating, they walked around the market for a while, seeing that there was nothing to buy, and it was not easy to go with an ox cart when there were too many people. After Shen Xuanqing asked the hawker to pack ten candied haws, the family returned happily full of New Year's goods.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, I sent the kitchen **** to eat kitchen candy. The candy melon was sticky and sweet. Lu Gu has not eaten it for several years since his mother left. Even if he is married and not a child, he is still a little greedy. This year, the kitchen candy is placed on There, if he wants to eat, he can go to get it, and no one will tell him.

On the twenty-fourth day of the New Year, the family was so busy, dusting the dust and cleaning up the courtyard, Lu Gu took out the cauldron and shoveled the ash from the bottom of the pot, leaving black ash on his face. Shen Xuanqing saw it. Laughing, he squatted down and wiped him with the pulp of his fingers.

Seeing that it was not clean, Shen Xuanqing said with a smile, "Forget it, wash with water later."

Lu Gu's face was a little itchy, so he rubbed his face twice with his sleeve.

As soon as this move came out, Shen Xuanqing frowned slightly and asked him, "Why, do you dislike me touching your face?"

The others were okay, but being rejected by her husband made Shen Xuanqing feel a little uncomfortable. He even glanced at his hand, at least there was no black ash on Lu Gu's face, so why didn't he want him to touch it.

Lu Gu, who was busy with work, couldn't even care about the ashes on his face. How could he dislike Shen Xuanqing inexplicably, and said with puzzled eyes, "No, why do you think so? My face is itchy."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Shen Xuanqing was a little embarrassed, smiled embarrassedly, and saw Lu Gu looking at him with a confused expression, while no one in the courtyard paid attention to them, he squeezed his husband's cheek very lightly to take advantage.

Shuang'er's skin and flesh are tender, and in his eyes, Lu Gu is weak, and he doesn't dare to use any strength to pinch his cheek, it's no different from touching it.

"I'm going to sweep the backyard." After taking advantage, he got up and left, leaving Lu Gu frowning alone.

Ji Qiuyue is not a month old now, she can walk and work. She accidentally heard the young couple's words in the kitchen picking up dishes and chopsticks. She glanced outside and laughed quietly inside. Don't let people despise him.
