The Sweet Little Fulang

Chapter 199

As soon as Shen Xuanqing came back, the family members were very happy. Who would have imagined that their family could afford to open a shop in Jixing Town.

At night, Lu Gu coaxed Brother Xiaoling to sleep first, because he hadn't seen him for several days, needless to say Shen Xuanqing, he put the child on the bed instead of putting it in the middle.

After the candles were blown out and the two of them lay down, there was a familiar body next to him. He was satisfied and happy in his heart. Although he didn't speak, there was a slight smile on his brows and eyes concealed in the dark night.

Shen Xuanqing turned over and lay on her side, facing her husband inside, said in a low voice, "I'll leave after lunch tomorrow."

"Yeah." Lying on his side, Lu Gu put one hand on the pillow next to his face, the night was thick, 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 , whispered: "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you, stewed old tofu with bacon? There is still half a pot of sour radish pickled by Dong Shiniang, and 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 shoots grow up in the back.

"It's all right." Shen Xuanqing heard Brother Ling humming twice, knowing that he hadn't slept well, Lu Gu turned over and patted the child, and didn't say anything behind him. Opened his mouth: "The meat was sold out in the town, and I didn't have any at home. 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, two meat dishes are enough for tomorrow. Next time I come back, I will bring a few catties of meat, and it will not be too late to eat."

"That's fine." Lu Gu was afraid that talking too much would disturb the children, so he didn't argue. There was bacon and dried fish in one meal, which used to be eaten during Chinese New Year.

Unlike going hunting in the mountains, the shop has just opened and cannot be closed for a few days before passing by. Shen Xuanqing knows in her heart that the butcher shop will be open frequently for at least a year or so.

He held Lu Gu's hand gropingly, and said, "When spring starts, I will go hunting in the mountains, and I will let my elder brother take care of it in the shop for a few days. Before spring plowing, the fields at home will not be so busy."

Hunting makes money quickly, but it’s better to stay in the shop and be safe. He doesn’t want to give up. In a month or two, the prey only earns ten taels and eight taels, and the accumulated savings add up to more than 50 taels for buying shops and household belongings. The two silvers will be returned to the capital.

"Yeah." Lu Gu was very serious every time he listened to him.

As the night gradually deepened, the whole village became quiet, no one went out, let alone any abnormal movements, and even the dog curled up on the sack and buried his head in sleep.

The two talked for a while, and there was nothing to talk about. Shen Xuanqing hadn't been close to her husband for a long time, and now she touched hands that were much smoother and softer than her rough hands, and couldn't help but kiss them.

Because it was night in the room, Lu Gu was a little bit shy, but after thinking about it, it was not that he had never kissed before, maybe it was the night that gave him the courage, and he even took the initiative to kiss. After the deep kiss, Shen Xuanqing kissed the corner of his lips, He imitated the other person's appearance, and carefully kissed the corner of Shen Xuanqing's lips, so close that he would break apart at the touch of one touch.

Let himself be open in his heart, this is his husband-in-law and their own house, but the heart in his chest still beats so fast.

Lu Gu seldom responds in a kiss, and rarely kisses him. Both of them gave birth to babies, but Lu Gu kissed him very few times. After being kissed, Shen Xuanqingjun had a bright smile on his face. It's dark and I can't see clearly.

The next day, after lunch, the family went to the mansion to help install the rabbit cages. This time, they pulled 22 rabbits in one go, which was enough to sell for six or seven days. delay.

However, this is very good for them. Even if the butcher shop only sells 25 rabbits a month, based on the skinned rabbit meat, it costs [-] yuan a piece, and at least [-] yuan, [-] yuan a month, is far more expensive than giving rabbit meat. It's good to be a buddy when you go to work.

After the mule cart was ready, Shen Xuanqing took Brother Xiao Ling and hugged him for a while before giving it to Lu Gu.

"Okay, let's all go back, and I'll be back in a few days." After he finished speaking, he led the mule forward, and sat on the cart after it went smoothly.

The wheels were rolling, and the people on the cart were also shaking. The mule cart gradually went away. Lu Gu took a look, and then went back with little brother Ling. , leaning forward in Ji Qiuyue's arms, shouting to sit down.

Jixing Town is not too far away if you drive a mule cart, besides, Shen Xuanqing will be back in a few days. Before, he and Shen Xuanqing walked to Jixing Town, which would take a long time. If he thinks this way, he won’t be so reluctant up.

Although the days get together less and leave more, but there are several people in their family, and Lu Gu still has to take care of the children. Now that there is enough food and clothing and enough money, there will not be so many troubles. Occasionally when the weather changes, he can't help but think about Shen Xuanqing. How was it? Until Shen Xuanqing came back, she was overjoyed and happy again.

Life is just like this, the rotation of the seasons remains the same throughout the year, and people go and come back in rotation.

After the business of the shop gradually stabilized, Shen Xuanqing did not forget to do the household registration for Lu Gu, and spent money to restore Lu Gu's good registration. Unlike the private private marriage that he wrote with Lu Wen, he asked someone to rewrite the marriage letter , the official seal was stamped by the government, that is, through Ming Lu's official media marriage certificate, and finally Lu Gu was transferred to their household registration, the first job here, but it took some money to get it done, and finally it was done.

The household registration yellow book is only in the government office, after he returned with the wooden talisman showing the status of a good citizen, Lu Gu touched it several times in joy.

Winter goes to spring, and the greenery is getting more and more day by day.

The calf flicks its tail and lowers its head to eat grass. There are not many flowers blooming in early spring. Once you find one or two freshly colored flowers in the grass, even if the flowers are small, it is enough to make people smile.

Lu Gu came out to dig wild vegetables with Brother Ling and Ji Qiuyue on his back. It was inconvenient for him to bend over and straighten up with the child on his back. Most likely Ji Qiuyue was digging, and the two didn't care.

Ji Qiuyue carried the basket, picked up the tender wild vegetables and dug, knelt down to work and said, "Gai Minger's second brother will come back, bring him some wild vegetable buns, and see if there are any wild vegetables dug by Mrs. It’s not very convenient to get there, if not, let’s dig some and let Erqing take it over there, at least we can eat there, wild vegetables grow up after all, so we should eat more.”

"I should take some. Erqing came back and asked him to hold the baby. I can also dig out. I heard from him that Mrs. Ma's legs and feet are not as sharp as before. Digging wild vegetables is definitely not easy." Lu Gu agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qiuyue saw a cluster of small bright yellow flowers in the grass, picked one off and handed it to him, smiling, "It's really small."

Lu Gu smiled as he took the flowers, and Ling Jun shouted behind his back. He wanted to give the flowers to his son, but he was afraid that the child would put wild flowers in his mouth, so he had to give up. He patted Xiao Ling behind his back with the other hand, After walking a few steps on the spot, and then tilted his back lightly, he heard Brother Ling laughing twice.

Children are like this, as long as they play with him, they will laugh when they are happy.

After digging a basket full of wild vegetables, Ji Qiuyue went home to wash them, and steamed them with noodles tonight while they were fresh. Lu Gu herded the cows by the river with the children on his back, and drove the calves home after a while.

Although there were six dogs, Shen Yan was doing needlework alone in the house. In such a large courtyard, it was better for two people to be together.

Today Zhao'er was picked up by Wei Lanxiang, and Shen Yaoqing was asked to take the bullock cart of Sanfang's family back to her mother's house, taking two rabbits with her.

Their family's mule cart is in Jixing Town, and Shen Xuanqing can travel back and forth. The rabbits, chickens and ducks in his and Yang Xian's taverns don't need Shen Yaoqing to take care of them, but the rabbits to be given away in the brothel in Fenggu Town have been borrowed from other people's homes recently. mule cart or bullock cart.

Although the calf wears a nose ring, it is less than two years old. The cattle here are not taught how to plow the fields or pull carts until they are two years old. When you are mature and strong, the next seven or eight years will be the time for you to be strong.

The calf is young, and someone looks at it, but it can plow the land. Last autumn, the planting and autumn harvest helped the family. Farming cattle are precious, and the road is short. Shen Yaoqing is reluctant to put it on the road to Fenggu Town. Mule carts and ox carts had to be borrowed from others. If someone else’s family had something to do, it was not easy to borrow. For this reason, Shen Yaoqing wanted to buy another mule for his family.

Bullock carts are always slow, and few people will let the cow run, after all, it is not as flexible as a mule's legs.

If I want to send the rabbits 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. I never complain, but I can't walk over to send the rabbits, how can I get more than a dozen.

After two or three years of savings, Shen Yaoqing also has money in his hand, and he can afford to buy a mule for five taels, so he thinks about getting one for himself, so that he can get around when he goes out. , Buy another mule, if he goes to give rabbits, chickens and ducks, he doesn't need to borrow from others.

Ji Qiuyue is ambitious. She has no bad intentions to live with the family. She just feels that for several years, no matter what the family buys, it is bought by Shen Xuanqing. When people came to see it, they said it was bought by Daqing, so it seemed that Shen Yaoqing was also capable.

Besides, since the mule cart was not often at home, she sometimes wanted to take Zhao'er back to her mother's house. The fat boy carried it all the way or carried it all the way. He was used to riding a mule cart, so he knew how to relax in his heart, so he was naturally willing to buy it.

Wei Lanxiang, on the other hand, felt that it was a little redundant. There was already a mule in the family, so why spend more money to buy it? There are few families in the countryside who have cows and mules, and most of them use envoys. Needless to say, at home, when Shen Xuanqing came back with the mule cart, wouldn't it be the same?

Shen Yaoqing told her that she would go to the Fenggu town building two or three times a month, and if they kept borrowing their one-year-old calves, it seemed that they only cared about their own cattle, and others would inevitably make irresponsible remarks, every now and then. Borrowing is not an option, if not, ask her if she would like to go a long distance with a calf-drawn cart, and she will stop talking.

It is not so fast to buy a mule. Not only do you have to go to the rally to see it, but you also have to inquire about it. It is best to get a strong mule.

"Moo."

Lu Gu closed the wooden fence of the cow pen, imitated the calf's cry, and heard Brother Ling laugh behind him, and then picked up the bucket next to it to pour into the trough.

The calf ate the grass for a long time, and now it buried its head in the water trough to drink, and it was a joy to drink.

The lambs in the sheepfold have grown into big sheep, and the two ewes, locked together with the rams in winter, now have big bellies, and they will be able to lay sheep in about three months. When the autumn harvest is busy, the breeding will be early this year.
