The Sweet Little Fulang

Thrush Alley, there are children playing in it, four or five-year-old dolls running around wrapped in red belly pockets, and those who are too hot even kick off their shoes and run around barefoot.

The woman who looked after the child and the old woman were chatting in front of the door, shouting from time to time not to let them run away, and they had to pick up the shoes so that they would not be lost.

Lu Gu entered the alley, and took out several fans while talking. Because Shen Xuanqing was really tall and handsome, it was hard to forget him once he saw him, and his appearance was not bad, so the messenger recognized him. The handsome man who came to sell handkerchiefs last time.

According to what Shen Xuanqing said, Lu Gu mentioned the price for 40 wen, and he was still a little nervous when he spoke, for fear that others would not buy it.

After shouting and hawking for a while, the people who stayed at home came out to join in the fun. There were more and more people. He took out all the fans in the basket. Shen Xuanqing was very discerning. He took the empty basket and gave it to the side. People and husbands gather together.

Small rich people have to bargain when they buy things. If you say anything to the people around you, Lu Gu is used to doing small business, but he can handle it.

Because the size of the fans is the same, only the embroidery patterns are different, there are many people bargaining. Finally, after thinking about it, he said that each fan is 37 yuan, and it is up to them to choose.

As soon as I heard the concession of three cents, such a cheap embroidered fan quickly sold out.

The old lady couldn't afford it, so I just watched the lively for a while, and every fan was embroidered with colorful colors, which was an eye addiction.

A woman bought three at once, and she was happy when she paid for it. She has two daughters who have not left the cabinet. Yesterday, she was still complaining that the old fan was no longer new. She took it out to make people laugh, and sold it at home. The old woman hasn't been summoned yet, so now it's ready, don't wait, buy two cheap and good-looking new fans to make the daughters happy, and she can use one herself.

Sure enough, it was still sold here. After walking out of Thrushi Alley, Lu Gu wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. The money bag was full of copper plates. In summer, the clothes were thin, and they were heavy and bulging in his arms. His eyes were full of joy.

Fortunately, Shen Xuanqing was by his side, otherwise people would know that his arms were full of money.

This was the first time he came out to sell fans. The first one didn't dare to ask for a price, so he only sold it for thirty-five cents. The remaining eleven were sold for thirty-seven cents. The total was four hundred and forty-two cents. With a capital of 300 wen, I earned 142 wen, which is more than a dollar.

Turning around, he saw that Shen Xuanqing was also wiping his sweat, their bamboo tubes were empty, and Lu Gu's arms were clanging. He looked down and saw that the bulging stomach was too conspicuous, so he took out the money bag and put it in the bamboo basket. , Cover it with a handkerchief, because Shen Xuanqing was on his left, he changed the bamboo basket in his left hand, so it could prevent thieves.

"Are you thirsty?" He raised his head and asked actively.

Shen Xuanqing nodded and replied, "I'm thirsty, wait for me to ask for some water."

But Lu Gu said, "If you don't want to make a tube of green plum brew, I'll pay for it."

Shen Xuanqing was obviously a little surprised, turned his head and saw that his husband's cheeks were flushed with heat, but his eyes were bright and dazzling. He smiled with a pair of star eyes, and asked with a smile, "Have you made money?"

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded heavily, the smile on his face couldn't help anymore, and said, "I'm rich, I can buy food and drink for you."

It was obviously a simple sentence, but Lu Gu said it so seriously, his eyes were almost naive, and Shen Xuanqing only felt a warm current in his heart.

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, you will pay for the food and drink today."

On a hot day, the cold soup is selling well, and there are many people in front of the green plum brewing stall.

When the people in front walked away, Lu Gu stepped forward, handed the bamboo tube to the stall owner, and said, "Here is a well that has been soaked in water."

"Okay." The stall owner was very quick in his hands and feet, and said while drinking, "It's fifteen cents for you."

The well water is cold, and the jar soaked in the well water tastes more refreshing than the other jar, so it is worth two cents.

When the person in front of him bought it, Lu Gu heard the price, it was the same, he said nothing, counted fifteen copper plates and handed it to the stall owner.

"When it's full, take a sip and then put the lid on." The stall owner smiled and handed over the bamboo tube.

The most important thing in the food business is the truth. These are all things that you can see with your eyes. If you drink it this time, you will come back next time.

Lu Gu took it carefully, for fear of spilling it, the green plum stuffed in the bamboo tube was so full that it was almost flush with the mouth of the bamboo.

He took a sip, it was cold and sweet and sour, it was really good, and he hurriedly handed it to Shen Xuanqing.

"Not bad." Shen Xuanqing nodded and praised after tasting it.

When the fan fans were sold out, the two of them went to the pharmacy in front first.

There are other drinks such as ebony soup and fragrant osmanthus drinks on the roadside, so the drinks made of flowers are called fragrant drinks. When passing by, I really smell the fragrance of osmanthus, but the price is a bit expensive, and they have already beaten them. Green plums are brewed, and there is no bamboo tube to hold.

After buying the drink, Lu Gu took the remaining half of the can and took two sips. After plugging the lid, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

He was so serious that Shen Xuanqing gave a chuckle and replied, "Forget it, it's too hot to have an appetite, so I'd better go back and eat some light dishes."

Also, Lu Gu himself didn't have much appetite, so he gave up.

There are a lot of people in the drugstore. Shen Xuanqing called the drug boy and weighed half a catty of lotus seeds. They don’t have this stuff here. It’s quite expensive to come from the south. Just try it out.

Shen Xuanqing put the paper bag into Lu Gu's bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket will be filled with porcelain pillows later.

The sun was obscured by clouds, and many people on the street breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally a little shady.

After arriving at the pottery shop, the guy showed them several porcelain pillows. In the end, Shen Xuanqing chose a honeysuckle pattern with a broken branch pattern. Both of them were simple patterns. These two porcelain pillows are hollow and can be filled with water. Irrigation of cold water is cold, and hot water is warm in winter.

Speaking of which, the poor in the countryside have no money and no food. They can't even use a soft pillow made of old cloth and rags. They often put a stone under their head, which is cool in summer.

Lu Gu tapped the folded branch pattern porcelain pillow with his knuckles, and he could clearly tell that it was hollow. He smiled, and together with Shen Xuanqing, he carefully put the porcelain pillow into the bamboo basket, and the man even brought straw for bedding. , to prevent the collision of two porcelain pillows.

This thing is not expensive or cheap, because the styles and patterns are the most common, and each one is forty wen.

Shen Shi was almost over, and it was obviously a little cooler. On the way back, he walked slowly, for fear of bumping into the porcelain pillow.

Shen Xuanqing said as he walked: "You use one when you go back, and mother uses one."

Lu Gu turned to look at him, he smiled and said, "I'm not hot. Besides, eldest brother also bought Mrs. Zhu to go back, it must be cool to hold."

"That's good." Lu Gu didn't push too hard, and said, "But if you're too hot, let's change pillows."

Shen Xuanqing smiled more and more, nodded in agreement.

After arriving home, he happily drank two bowls of warm water. Lu Gu wiped the water on his lips. Seeing Wei Lanxiang playing with the porcelain pillow, he felt itchy too, so he went back to his room to try it.

Wei Lanxiang chose a porcelain pillow with honeysuckle pattern. This one has a broken branch pattern. It is cold and **** the pillow, and it is really cool.

It's just that Lu Gu has been used to sleeping with soft pillows over the years. This porcelain pillow is not used for a while, and it is very hard. Shen Xuanqing, who came in to watch him play with new things, let him sleep for a few more days, maybe he will get used to it.

Mrs. Zhu has already bought them back, and Shen Yaoqing has bought all four. Now the family of six has all of them. It will be much cooler to sleep with them in their arms.

Lu Gu fiddled with the porcelain pillow for a while and then went to hug Mrs. Zhu who was on the bed. There was a bamboo mat under him and a porcelain pillow on the pillow. He had a good day, which made him feel happy and at ease.

Seeing that it was getting cooler outside, Wei Lanxiang put on old shoes and told Shen Yan that he was going to pull weeds in the field, and he and Shen Xuanqing followed after hearing it.

After arriving in the field, Shen Yaoqing, who was originally busy in the new house, has entered the field.

—

Twenty-two little rabbits were all alive, and half a month later, their eyes were about to open.

It was Futian, and the heat was still there. In retrospect, the spring day seemed so short. Lu Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples. He used to wash handkerchiefs once a day, but now he has to wash them twice a day.

He shoveled all the rabbit dung into the dung basket, carried the dung basket and the shovel over, poured it on the dung heap a little far away, and shoveled some dry soil to cover it, so as not to attract too many flies.

I have shoveled it once in the morning, and there is not much rabbit dung falling from the rabbit nest at this time.

After the work, there is nothing else to do. Wei Lanxiang has not returned from putting the ducks, and the calf is also by the river. Dabai followed him out, so there is no need to worry too much.

He washed his hands, poured himself a bowl of warm water, and sat down for a while.

Shen Xuanqing went into the mountains two days ago and said he wanted to hunt deer or sheep, but he didn't know when he would come back.

There are too many chores at home recently. As soon as Shen Xuanqing left, only he, Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yaoqing were busy. Recently, Shen Yan was cooking at home and accompanied Ji Qiuyue on the way. I'm about to give birth in half a month, and I don't dare to leave people.

Wei Lanxiang has already found a wife, a well-known midwife in Wangli Village. The price of her invitation is more expensive, and she also needs to be treated with tea and rice, but most of the children she receives are smooth and very There is something.

This is the first child in their family, and the family takes it very seriously, no matter how much money they spend.

And as the month approached, Ji Qiuyue was still pretty good, the child in her belly was sometimes quite torturous, and she couldn't eat, drink, sleep, and all kinds of things in peace. Instead, it was Shen Yaoqing.

It was fine when he was working, but as soon as he went back and saw Ji Qiuyue walking around, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and he kept mumbling to be more careful, and people were easily irritable in hot weather, so Ji Qiuyue scolded him for being annoying and unwilling to do more. listen.

Shen Yaoqing was not welcome, so he paced around the yard nervously and worriedly, pulling his neck to look into the room from the window, Ji Qiuyue gave him a look, and when his heart softened, he called him into the room.

Once he paced with his hands behind his back, even Wei Lanxiang felt a sudden rush in his heart. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, so he sent him to work in the fields, sleeping in the new house in the afternoon, and not allowed to come back until it was dark in the afternoon to avoid confusion. Family spirit.

In fact, it's fine if you are busy, at least you don't have to think about having a baby, Shen Yaoqing just immerses himself in the fields, and this is not the case today.

After Lu Gu took a break, he closed the courtyard door and carried a tea basket to the field to deliver water to him. He had delivered it three times in the morning. It was so hot that he couldn't drink much water.

The work day after day does not stop. For the country people, work is like eating. If you don’t do anything, you will feel panic in your hands and heart.

In the afternoon, Lu Gu was feeding Da Bai in the new house, when he suddenly heard a dog barking outside. It was the voice of a good boy. It was very close. Da Bai couldn't care to eat, and ran out with a bark.
