The Sweet Little Fulang

Shen Xuanqing washed his face with cold water in the yard, and he was completely awake. When he led the dog from the backyard, Lu Gu had already taken the cloth bag prepared by Wei Lanxiang from the kitchen, which contained the cakes baked yesterday. .

"Er Qing, take the cake with you." Wei Lanxiang was lying on the bed and heard the movement outside shouting through the window.

"Understood mother." Shen Xuanqing agreed. After carrying the hatchet and hemp rope, he took the cloth bag and Lu Gu and walked towards the door, saying, "I'll go out, close the courtyard door and go back to your room to sleep."

In the past, after he left, Shen Yaoqing would come to close the door later, but today it is different with Lu Gu.

The village was too quiet, so everyone in the room could hear them talking. Wei Lanxiang heard Lu Gu sending her son to the door, and became more and more satisfied with the new husband. This is how the couple should be. Seeing that Shen Yaoqing didn't need to go out and close the courtyard door by himself, he turned over and went back to sleep.

The wooden door creaked, and Lu Gu stood at the door. Under the gray sky, the tall and strong man led the three dogs and turned around. Seeing Lu Gu stunned, he said, "Okay, come in quickly."

Only then did Lu Gu close the courtyard door according to his words. Maybe he got up too early. Shen Xuanqing's low and steady voice made him feel strange, but he was not afraid. Just like he broke an egg, Shen Xuanqing helped him. Without telling anyone.

The man he feared the most was a good man.

Lu Gu realized this again. He could vaguely hear the cooing of chickens in the backyard. The rooster hadn't crowing yet. It was still early before dawn. He went back to the room and lay down.

—

A wisp of green smoke curled up. Lu Gu was heating water in the kitchen to add firewood. Today, there is no need to steam hot cakes to eat. He sat on the small stool in front of the stove while eating and adding firewood.

The Shen family needs to drink a bowl of hot water when they wake up in the morning. The doctors here often say that drinking raw water hurts people, so even if the half pot of water will become cold after a while, it is boiled water after all, so it is not harmful to the body. , Now it's summer again, it's more enjoyable to drink after cooling down.

The water also boiled after the small half of the thick cake was eaten. He pushed the wooden pot lid to the corner of the stove with a long spoon. Otherwise, the white steam that came out would burn his hands and arms if he was not careful. He used to eat It's a loss, of course I know it's great.

Ji Qiuyue swept the yard and came in. Seeing that there were several bowls of hot water on the chopping board, Lu Gu was still scooping the last bowl. , Whoever wants to drink water can just take a bowl and scoop it.

She sat down on the bottom of the pot and asked Lu Gu, "Can loach kill?"

When he was at Lu's house, Lu Gu didn't dare to touch the food. Du Hehua watched him very closely. Even when he went to change the tofu and brought it back, he would be beaten and scolded. It was obvious that the tofu residue was in the basket. , Du Hehua also said that he had no skin and face and dared to steal it.

When killing fish and chickens, Lu Gu was sent far away, and he could not come back until the Lu family had finished eating.

When he was hungry, he went to find something to eat. He found something to eat. He also ate loach, but because he had no knife or pot, he had to spend half a day wiping the fire with flint, and then pierced the dug loach with a branch. The whole rack was roasted on the fire, and it was not killed at all.

But when he came to Shen's house, he couldn't say that he didn't know anything. This is not free food. Lu Gu hesitated, looked at Ji Qiuyue and whispered, "I'll try it."

Ji Qiuyue knew at a glance that he couldn't, and she didn't force it, and said, "I'll teach you. Loach has no scales and is easy to kill. Just open the stomach and clean the contents."

The two squatted outside the kitchen, one teaching and the other learning. Shen Yan came to join in the fun when she saw that she was about to stew loach. Ji Qiuyue grabbed her, a strong man, and said, "Wait, take what you took out to feed the ducks."

Lu Gu is not stupid, he is even smart, especially when he was doing it, he read it once, grabbed a loach from the basin, took the scissors in Ji Qiuyue's hand, and learned a lot. He was obviously proficient in the next few lines.

"After frying the medicine, you can take this pot and put it on the medicine stove to stew the loach." Ji Qiuyue took out a black pot and said, "You can just sit outside and watch the fire, you don't have to do anything else."

Lu Gu hurriedly nodded in response. He has eaten meat every day for the past few days, and slept well at night. He looks better than before.

The small fish was too small. After raising it for two days, it spit out sand. It didn't even need to open the mouth. It was enough to scrape off the fine scales on its body. .

Shen Yan dug out a piece of **** from the vegetable field at the root of the courtyard wall, so that the small loach fish could get rid of the coldness. The farmers planted these onions, **** and garlic by themselves, so that they would not have to spend money to buy them.

She went to the kitchen to cut a few slices of ginger, and when she came out, she grabbed a piece of burning wood from under the stove for Lu Gu to light the stove.

Lu Gu took the firewood, and at some point a spark fell on his shoe, and he hurriedly brushed it away with his free left hand.

Seeing that he was still wearing the red embroidered shoes when he got married, Shen Yan asked, "Brother Lu Gu, why are you still wearing these?"

After getting married, red shoes should be worn on the day when they return to the door in three dynasties, and they must be put away after that. It is reasonable to say that these wedding shoes should be worn after visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, so as to show the identity of the newlyweds.

It's not that Lu Gu doesn't know this rule, but he has no other shoes, so he can't go barefoot.

After she finished speaking, she also remembered that there were two summer clothes in the suitcase that Lu Gu brought her dowry, and there was no pair of shoes, so she couldn't change them at all, so she said annoyed: "Look at me, I forgot this, wait, I'll ask my mother ."

Hearing this, Lu Gu was startled and wanted to stop her from asking. How dare he ask the Shen family for something.

Shen Yan's voice was not loud, but Wei Lanxiang was sitting under the eaves of the hall doing needlework, and also looked at Lu Gu's feet. She heard Shen Yan talking about the dowry box, and she complained to Du Hehua in her heart. It's neat, there's nothing wrong with it, she actually told her to forget about it.

It seems to outsiders that they are not worried about eating and drinking recently, and they also have meat every day. Obviously, they are not poor. As a result, the newlyweds don't even have a pair of shoes to change and wash. It makes people laugh when it comes out. She is in charge of the family's money. She knows how many. , and now it is enough to pay for two coins.

The wound on Lu Gu's head has not yet healed. Whether changing the medicine or taking the medicine every day is money, although Shen Xuanqing paid for it with private money, most of the money his son got from selling the prey was handed over to her. , how many children can you have left?

Now that she has recognized Lu Gu, Wei Lanxiang doesn't want to complain anymore. Although she has never studied, she also knows that a person must have a conscience, and she can't drive Lu Gu out just to save money. Looking ahead, thinking about how to live well is the serious reason.

Before Shen Yan spoke, Wei Lanxiang said, "I see, you go with your own business."

Lu Gu was uneasy. Seeing him like this, Wei Lanxiang secretly shook her head and sighed. She was too timid, so she had to soothe her: "Don't worry, I have your clothes at home, don't you still have old clothes there and cut them to make shoe uppers? Exactly."

Knowing that she was talking about the tattered clothes that Du Hehua gave, Lu Gu was not willing to throw them away after changing them, and even picked up the time to wash them, just in case he had no clothes to wear, he could change them.

"Mother, I cleaned that one." He whispered.

Wei Lanxiang nodded and said, "Just right, you bring it."

No matter how reluctant he was, Lu Gu still went into the room and took it out. Wei Lanxiang asked him again, "How big are your feet? I don't know if there are any shoes like yours at home."

After hearing what Lu Gu said, she took out Ji Qiuyue's shoes and asked Lu Gu to compare them on her feet, and said, "Have the same foot as your sister-in-law, save trouble and don't need to cut it again."

She looked at the clothes on Lu Gu's body and thought to herself that Du Hehua was a black heart, but the clothes for Lu Gu were good, and she said smoothly, "Your black hearted stepmother dresses you well."

After listening to Lu Gu, he thought about it and said truthfully, "This is what Lu Wen doesn't want."

It turned out that Lu Wen wore the rest, and Wei Lanxiang immediately knew why. Before Shen Xuanqing got married, no matter who asked about Du Hehua, they said she was a good person, and even Lu Gu cleaned up. Several clothes that Lu Wen didn't want supported the scene, and others had already seen that Du Hehua was not good to Lu Gu.

She turned over the ragged clothes and said to Lu Gu, "I can make two pairs of shoes for you, and the rest can be used by Shen Yan to make two pairs of cloth heads. She has grown a lot recently, and her feet have grown too. These days, I always call my shoes to grind my feet."

He was able to get two full pairs of new shoes, which were not worn by Lu Wen. Lu Gu said he was unhappy, but because of his long-established temperament, he didn't dare to show his joy at all, so he whispered, "Listen to mother. of."

When Wei Lanxiang saw him being so obedient and obedient, and calling her mother, she couldn't help but love him more.

Lu Gu went to fry the medicine and fan the fire. She thought as she made needles and needles, the shoe upper is enough, but some time ago, because of getting married, she used a lot of coarse cloth to make new shoes and jackets for her family. Now the remaining jackets and jackets The fabric is simply not enough for the soles of four pairs of shoes, so I have to think of a way.

In the afternoon, Lu Gu drank a whole bowl of loach soup. Wei Lanxiang specially gave him a lot of it. He said that it would be quicker to make up more. This thing doesn't need to be bought. He dug it by himself by the river. It's nothing. Fresh things, whoever drinks more or less, the Shen family doesn't care.

But for Lu Gu, it is very cherished. The white soup is delicious and fragrant only with salt. The loach and small fish are stewed, and even the thorns are soft, which is much better than the one he roasted with fire.

After washing the dishes, Lu Gu originally wanted to help Shen Yan chop chicken and grass, but Wei Lanxiang put a large basket on his arm and told him to go out, so he followed up.

After the Shen family lived in the village, they could meet people along the road when they walked outside the village. Wei Lanxiang joked with the villagers, and even made Lu Gu recognize a lot of people. Let Lu Gu write down that this is his third uncle's house. If he wants to come, he will know the door.

Although Lu Gu's voice was small, he was not ambiguous when he shouted timidly along the way, and he kept all the words he said to Wei Lanxiang in his heart.

He followed Wei Lanxiang all the way to the east without stopping, and suddenly realized that he was going to the town. Fenggu Town was about ten miles away from Qingxi Village, passing through four or five villages.

A young man with a fast footstep may take two to three quarters of an hour, and a peasant family does not go out like a big family with a horse-drawn carriage. If you are not in a hurry, you can take a breather on the way.

Lu Gu didn't know what Wei Lanxiang was doing until she was in town. She took out the wedding dress that Lu Gu had worn from the cloth-covered basket. She couldn't wear it at the back, so she might as well sell it for some money.
