The Sweet Little Fulang

After Shen Yan's marriage was settled, it was fine in winter, and after the weather warmed, Gu Chengyue ran more and more diligently to their Qingxi Village, either delivering snacks or buying some play objects.

The two of them were already engaged. This move was not frivolous. Wei Lanxiang didn't care much. Anyway, every time he looked back, his family was there, and he wouldn't stay too long.

All kinds of invitations, replies and gifts have not yet been completed, and the auspicious days must follow the rules. The date of marriage has not yet been calculated, but she has already started sewing wedding dresses and embroidering hijab.

That's how people in the countryside do it themselves, and rarely ask someone to make a wedding dress.

Gu Chengyue still has to test people, so he has to seize the time to study. He is sometimes dumbfounded in front of Shen Yan, but his mind is simple. He is happy when he gives things to his future daughter-in-law. Naturally, he can raise his family, and Shen Yan doesn't have to endure hardship with him.

Not to mention the Gu family, Shen Yan's marriage was going smoothly, and the whole family was relieved. Now they only have to live a good life, and the two children still have many years to grow.

After the summer, Lu Gu took Linger back to his hometown to live for a while. When someone in the village sold the land, Shen Yaoqing bought the four acres of paddy fields.

They have a lot of land and enough to eat, but if they have a few more children in the future, they will all open their mouths to eat, but they must not save some land and family wealth when they have money. Xuan youth ate a lot when he was young, and if there are a few more boys, if you want to take care of them all, you have to prepare enough rice and noodles.

After living at home for half a month, it was cold in the afternoon. Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue took their two children to do laundry in the shallow water of the river. Linggeer and Zhaoer squatted on the bank to play in the water, afraid that they would fall into the water. The two adults Been paying attention.

Before the clothes were washed, Lu Gu heard a familiar dog bark, squatted there and turned back, he was indeed a good boy.

The dog ran over quickly, and it didn't take long for a familiar figure from a distance to approach.

"When did you come back?" He rubbed the dog's head with one hand and asked with a smile.

Shen Xuanqing picked up his son and nephew by the water at the same time. After the two children were picked up, he couldn't stop laughing. He said, "Just when I came back, Yanyan said you were doing laundry by the water, and I came here."

"Have you eaten?" Lu Gu asked again.

"I've eaten it at noon, but the mother is not cooking dinner." Shen Xuanqing put down the child in his arms again and let them play by themselves.

Lu Gu pounded his clothes with a mallet and asked casually, "Where did you eat it?"

"The restaurant on the corner has a plate of vegetables and a pot of wine. I went back and cleaned up the butcher's shop. The front and back yards of the house were also cleaned up, so I rushed back." He lowered his head and found a thin piece of stone on the ground, and slid it out to create several rippling circles on the water.

"Wow!"

When the two children saw it, the little two groups squatted on the shore and let out a cry of exclamation, then turned to look at him with amazed eyes.

Even though they were only two children, even Shen Xuanqing couldn't help being a little proud and smug when they were looked at like this. Seeing it next to him, Lu Gu laughed secretly.

"Daddy, Daddy fights." Brother Ling ran to his leg and put a pebble in his hand.

The child's hands were small, and the small stones he found were so small, Shen Xuanqing glanced at the small stones that Linger put him, and couldn't stop smiling.

"Daddy hit."

He was laughing when he suddenly heard Zhao'er shouting like that, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Look carefully, is this Daddy?" Ji Qiuyue asked while smiling.

Zhao'er is not too big, so when he was in a hurry to call Ling Ge'er, he called the wrong father, he didn't care at all, he just wanted to play.

Ji Qiuyue smiled and said, "That's your second uncle, why are your eyes long?"

"Okay, I'll fight." Shen Xuanqing walked to the water and played with the two children.

The smoke rose from the kitchen, and the sun was about to go down. The farmers who worked in the fields came home one after another with their hoes on their backs. Shen Xuanqing held a child in front of him. Back to the old house.

It's summer, and there are no livestock in my hometown, so all kinds of flavors are very light.

Shen Xuanqing stayed at home for two days. Together with Lu Gu, they took Ling Ge'er and Zhao'er up the mountain to pick fruit and find sweet buns. The two children were having a good time, but they were both still young, unlike the older wild boys who were full of The mountains are running around everywhere.

When we went to the town, in addition to the rabbit cage, the scooter also pulled Lugu and Lingjun.

He has been eating and drinking by himself in the town for the past two weeks, mostly going to restaurants and noodle restaurants, and occasionally going to Yan's for a meal. Lu Gu misses that he can't eat well in restaurants outside, it's time to pass.

When I came back, the front and back yards of the house were cleaned, and it was not messy at all. I really cleaned up.

After falling asleep at night, the whole town gradually quieted down.

The door to the main room was not closed, and sometimes a cool breeze blew in. The good boy lay on the ground and slept. The sack he usually used was hot and he never went on his back. Lu Gu took out the straw inside to dry it, and washed the skin of the sack.

Linggeer slept soundly. When he was leaving from his hometown, Zhaoer cried and wanted to take a mule cart and go with his younger brother. When he cried, Linger also cried, and it took a long time to coax him on the road.

We haven't seen each other for half a month, but Lu Gu still misses Shen Xuanqing. The two were next to each other, holding hands on the thin quilt, and whispered a few thoughtful words.

"There is something I want to discuss with you." Shen Xuanqing turned over and touched the husband's cheek by the moonlight, with gentle brows.

"Yeah." Lu Gu also turned to face him.

"I estimate that Biaozi will be back in half a month. I want to ask him if he will go to the north after the fall. If he does, I want to follow him and sell some skins." Shen Xuanqing's voice was very low.

Lu Gu was stunned and asked him, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Luo Biao is going north, far away, it will take two months to go back and forth, if there is a delay on the road, two and a half months and three months will be there, he has never been separated from Shen Xuanqing for so long.

"I won't go hunting foxes this year, and I have less income, so I thought about getting some furs and rushing back in the winter. It's easy to sell when it's cold. We have money in our hands, but Yanyan is going to get married, and the dowry brother and mother are both Given, I can't be left behind, my father is gone, no one will prepare her dowry."

Shen Xuanqing's voice was very low, and he slowly talked to him: "This is a sum, and the money in hand is actually enough. With my elder brother and mother, I don't need to spend too much, just add some more."

"Listen to Luo Biao's meaning, the furs sold can at least double. I want to make more money as soon as possible. I'm not young in recent years."

"The hundreds of taels in our hands are our family assets, and we can't guard them for a lifetime. In the future, Brother Ling's dowry will be a lot of money. We can't wrong the children and have a second child. If you are a kid, how can you get married and start a family? It doesn't cost anything."

"There are also various expenses for food, clothing and study. I went to see it outside the town two days ago. Since we live here, we might as well buy a few acres of land outside the town. In the future, we don't need to pull rice and noodles from home. You don’t have to worry about food and drink for a living.”

Lu Gu listened silently, the field is the root, Shen Xuanqing is right, and after buying the farmland, even if the two of them are gone, it is still the family's ancestral property to leave it to the children, as long as you work hard, you can eat enough.

"It's so far north." He murmured in reluctance.

Shen Xuanqing was also reluctant to part with her husband and children, sighed in her heart, and then smiled: "I'm just talking, I want to ask you what you mean, then I won't go, anyway, I can make money at home, just like before, Let's save slowly, and the days will not be bad."

"Well." Lu Gu breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't think of the days when Shen Xuanqing was gone for so long.

The wind blew in from the half-opened window, Shen Xuanqing stretched his arms around the person beside him, as before, Gu Zi also took the initiative to lean into his arms, making him feel satisfied.

"In a few days, I will go to the carpenter's side and ask if I can make a car for us, and then put on a mule, so that I won't be afraid of the wind and the sun, and it won't get wet when it rains or snows. It's fine in summer, but in winter. The scooter was bare and there was no shelter, and it was really cold to blow the wind all the way."

After listening to this, Lu Gu remembered the late winter of last year, when they rushed to their hometown before the new year. The adults were resistant to freezing. Fortunately, the children were dressed thickly, otherwise Lingge would be too cold.

"This is good." He replied in a low voice, although it cost more than a hundred taels to buy a shop and a house, but there were still a few hundred taels in hand, which was more than enough to make a car.

He smiled and said, "I've been here for so long, I never thought of doing one before."

"Indeed, there are so many cars and horses on the street that you can see every day, but I didn't expect to do it for our family." Shen Xuanqing also smiled.

He couldn't sleep for a while, so he hugged the person in his arms and continued: "If I originally wanted to go to the north, get us a good horse and drive the carriage back and forth faster. Let me buy it for him."

What he was talking about was the day when Gu Chengyue and Shen Yan met. Brother Ling lived in the town. Sometimes when a horse passed by on the street, Lu Gu would teach him what it was. Don’t look at it as a milk baby. Ma is majestic and beautiful, and even children can tell the difference.

That day, Shen Xuanqing went to Sanfang's house with the child, Linger shouted that the horse was driving, and pointed to the horse and asked Dad to buy it for him.

Lu Gu also knew this.

"But we already have mules. What do we want horses to do? There is only so much space in the house. Unlike at home, it doesn't matter how many animals we raise." Shen Xuanqing added: "It's just from my hometown to get here, the farthest is In a city of Yuqing Mansion, the horses are expensive and not worth it."

It turned out that the purpose of going north was to get a good horse for the family.

Lu Gu thought for a while and asked, "It's cheaper to buy a horse in the north?"

"Well, it's better to be cheaper. Horses are produced there." Shen Xuanqing pulled the thin quilt down. It was easy to get hot when hugged together in summer, so it was enough to cover the stomach.

"Apart from wanting to buy a horse, what else do you want?" Lu Gu also felt warm, and took back the hand that was on Shen Xuanqing's waist.

Shen Xuanqing noticed his movement, grabbed the hand again, put it on his waist, and said with a smile: "Last year, I rode a horse brought back by the mark, and I heard him say that the scenery along the way to the north is a little bit more beautiful. I'm itching to go and have a look, and when I go through this, I know where it's fun, and when the child is a few years older, I'll take you two out to see it."

"The grassland in the north is too far, and the road is difficult, so let's just stroll along the beautiful scenery along the way, at least get out of the Yuqing land, and when Lingge is older, maybe we can go to Jiangnan, the road is better over there, go Officials are not afraid of encountering bandits."

He has studied, and he knows from the painting and calligraphy that Saibei and Jiangnan have beautiful scenery. Now that the days are better, he has more contact with various people in the town. He knows that in addition to traveling around the town, playing in the mountains, burning incense and worshipping Buddha, even the female relatives have been arrested. Take Shangjing to Jiangnan to play.

After listening to it a lot, he sometimes thinks that he should take his family out for a walk, otherwise he will only stay in Qingxi Village and Jixing Town for the rest of his life, which is really restrictive.

"Then go."

Shen Xuanqing was actually just talking about it at this moment, and it was enough to enjoy it. He was about to talk about the style of the capital again when he suddenly heard this sentence.
