The Sweet Little Fulang

Knowing the neighing, the sky is already hot, and the noise is even more irritating and hot.

In the backyard, Lu Gu shook the reel to fetch water and poured the horses and mules into the sink, so that they could also quench their thirst.

Even the good boy was sticking his tongue out, lying in the shade and reluctant to move. He took half a bucket of water and poured it into the dog food bowl, and then the good boy got up to drink water.

After drinking the animals, he carried a bucket of water to the front yard to wash his own thin clothes, which would cool him down even if it got wet.

The persimmons in the yard were lush and leafy, and Zhi was making noise at the treetops. He was getting more and more upset when he was drying his clothes. He simply went over to shake the tree a few times, and then stood at the bottom and looked up. It really made him find Zhi Zhi's hiding place. So I took a long bamboo pole and came over, poking it all at once.

The black cicada fell to the ground, the transparent cicada's wings flapped, buzzing and wanting to fly away, but the good boy who was waiting for the opportunity suddenly rushed over and bit his mouth.

"oops!"

Lu Gu heard that the cicada in the mouth of the good boy was still calling, and only then did he know that the good boy did not kill the cicada, but contained it in his mouth.

"I thought you were eating meat, what's the fun in that? Next time I go back to my hometown, let Erqing take you up the mountain to touch it, and make some for you to fry and eat." He put down the bamboo pole and slapped the good boy with a smile.

Of course, he said it was fried. Of course, you don’t need to put oil when you feed it to a dog. They know that monkeys are grabbed and eaten, and some people eat it. This thing is everywhere in summer, and cicadas can be sold in pharmacies. , Most of them in the village are picking up cicada sloughs.

As the dog's mouth opened, the drool-stained cicada fell to the ground, still struggling, buzzing.

The good boy bent down and made a hunting gesture. Seeing this, Lu Gu knew that he was playing, so he just let him go, and didn't care about it any more.

It was too hot, and Linger was sent back to his hometown by him and Shen Xuanqing a few days ago. Wei Lanxiang really missed her little grandson and talked about it for a long time.

Lingjun has also grown up and is no longer a baby that Eminem should hold. Their hometown in the countryside is much more spacious than the town, and they can ride cows and herd ducks. Brother Ling likes to go back and play with his brother, so he simply keeps him at home. wait.

It was really hot, so Lu Gu wiped the sweat off his face, and after thinking about it, he simply walked to the kitchen and took out the watermelon that he had soaked all morning in the water tank.

The round and big watermelon was transported by water. They planted less here. It was bought by Shen Xuanqing at the dock. It was expensive, but it was really delicious.

Before soaking in the water tank, he specially washed it, and then fished it out, and the skin of the melon was cold to the touch.

He wiped the water off the skin of the melon, put it in the bamboo basket, and carried it heavily on his back.

Shen Xuanqing was guarding in the butcher's shop. There were all kinds of knives there, and he could kill the watermelon with a rub. He happily carried the watermelon to go out, and called the good boy together.

After coming back from the fight, Shen Xuanqing felt more and more that the world was not peaceful, and told him that if he was alone, even if he just went to the street to buy things, he should bring a dog. guard against.

It was hot and there were few people walking under the sun, so Lu Gu brought a bamboo hat, otherwise he would be unable to open his eyes.

The butcher shop was on the next street, and he was in a hurry, and the boy trotted.

After arriving at the shop, Shen Xuanqing sat at the table to keep an account. At noon, there were a lot fewer buyers. On such a hot day, except for those working in the fields, few people on the street came out to stroll in the hot sun.

"Why are you here now, aren't you afraid of the heat?" Shen Xuanqing saw him as soon as he looked up, put down his pen and got up to help unload the bamboo basket.

Lu Gu said with a smile: "It's hot, I want to eat watermelon, but you're not here, why don't you just bring it over to eat together, it's hot now, wouldn't it be good to eat something to relieve the heat?"

Shen Xuanqing packed up the things on the table, took the knife that was not often used, washed it in the back, and then came to kill the watermelon.

The last time when Brother Ling was still there, he bought a watermelon and came back to eat it. Not to mention the child, even the good boy knew it was eaten. He had eaten a few mouthfuls of red melon flesh, and like a horse and mule, he ate it. Crunchy raw juicy watermelon rind.

It's not easy to bring children. Now that Brother Ling is back at his hometown, although there are no children making noise in his ears, he is a little uncomfortable, but Lu Gu still feels relieved for a while. He holds a tooth of watermelon and eats it. Go down, very happy.

His cheeks were bulging, and the watermelon was so sweet that his brows and eyes were so sweet that he looked at Shen Xuanqing and smiled while eating.

Shen Xuanqing saw the husband eating happily and smiling so nicely, his star eyes were shining brightly.

Before lunch, the two of them ate up a big watermelon and their stomachs were full.

It's hot, and it's not easy to store this stuff. It's not delicious if you put it aside for a while.

When buying watermelons, Yang Xian came over and called Shen Xuanqing. The Yang family had watermelons, but they didn't give them to Lao Yangtou and Yan's today.

Watermelon is expensive, and it is a rare thing. The skin of the melon that they have eaten is clean, and there are few melon flesh left. There are two teeth Lu Gu has not bitten yet. eat.

A good boy eats watermelon, it is amazing, not to mention the red melon pulp, even the white melon pulp has been eaten clean, only a thin layer of skin is left, it has eaten two tooth melons, and after eating it, sits beside it and licks its mouth. juice.

"Buy two more another day and send them home." Shen Xuanqing said while wiping the table.

"Well, go back and have a look in a few days. If Brother Ling wants to go back, take it back. If you still want to play, there are mother and sister-in-law, let him play." Lu Gu threw the watermelon rinds into the bamboo basket. Take it home for mules and horses.

The child is in his hometown, not anywhere else. Moreover, the night at the foot of the mountain is cool, and the child sleeps at night more at ease than in the town.

Shen Xuanqing helped him to carry the bamboo basket on his back, and smiled: "The place is narrow and it's too hot, you go back first, there are less people to buy meat on a hot day, I'll go back to eat in half an hour, and I'll just cook a dish, I'm full. "

"Okay, then I'll go." Lu Gu grabbed the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, there was no wind outside, and he didn't even need to tie the rope, he just put it on his head.

Since they had a child, the two of them have had very little time alone. These few days Ling is not there, but it seems that they have returned to the past.

The night was sultry, the wind brought in a touch of the heat of the day, and the fragrance of flowers came in from the window.

The bed was replaced with a bamboo mat, and both of them took a bath before laying on the bed. In summer, they tend to sweat. After taking a bath, they felt cool and dry. There is no such comfortable thing in lying on the bed.

There were no lights in the room, and the moonlight was shining brightly.

Lu Gu's hand was held by Shen Xuanqing, but he would sweat soon after holding it.

After speaking, Shen Xuanqing suddenly turned over and came face to face with him.

"The business is not good in the hot weather recently, so let me take you on the waterway, go to Yuqingfu City for a walk, look for signs to see the shops for two days, we will stay in the inn in Fucheng for one night, I heard people say, what kind of ice is there in Fucheng? Cheese and Sushan are made of ice and milk, and there are fruits, expensive or expensive, I will take you to taste."

The more he talked, Shen Xuanqing said again: "Why don't I go to find the mark tomorrow, anyway, it's only two or three days away, and it won't delay his work."

Although the two have children, they are not very old, so when it comes to having fun, they still care about it.

Lu Gu just listened to what he said, with a slight smile on his face, and asked, "Ice? How expensive is that?"

Where can ordinary people afford ice in summer, even the wealthy people in Jixing Town use it very little, and they can only be bought in Fucheng.

"No matter how expensive a bowl is, it's only a few taels of silver. Try it. I'll pay for it, and you can eat it." Shen Xuanqing pinched her husband's nose. it is good.

Although he was in trouble when he went out last year, he no longer thought about going outside to see the world, but Yuqing Mansion was not far away, so he wanted to take people out for a walk.

Lu Gu pinched his nose and patted the messy hand, then said with a smile, "Okay, let's go by boat, I've never been on a boat that far."

It was the first time for them to go out to play tomorrow, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited and talked for a while.

The young man was full of vigor and blood, so he rubbed his hands and touched his legs to sleep better at night. They both wore very thin clothes, and Shen Xuanqing was even more shirtless.

The wind swayed the persimmon leaves, shaking them, and the people in the room who were supposed to sleep changed.

The unspeakable gesture made his face turn red and his ears were red. Lu Gu pursed his lips. It was probably hot, but he blushed and his ears were red, but he didn't say anything, let alone reject it. His docile eyebrows concealed the joy for the other person, the joy from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Xuanqing is not like this, deep in love, no matter how sharp and full of edgy eyebrows, they become gentle.

There is nothing in the world so joyful.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Gu was wiping his face, and Shen Xuanqing, who was pouring water next to him, put the wooden basin on the shelf, and suddenly said, "In the future, I will send more Lingjun back to his hometown."

For some reason, Lu Gu immediately understood what he meant.

The two looked at each other, Shen Xuanqing saw that he was embarrassed, and added with a smile: "My mother doesn't always miss him, let me go back to accompany her."

This is a serious statement, and the enthusiasm on Lu Gu's face subsided a little.

It's cool to get up early, and there are many people going out. They first took the rabbits, chickens and ducks to the shop and sold them in the morning market. Shen Xuanqing went to the outskirts of the town to find Luo Biao, and Lu Gu and Gou looked at the shop.

Luo Biao used the 100 taels to buy a house on the other side of the town, not far from the town. It was considered a suburb of the town. The house over there was cheap. Three acres of dry land in paddy fields, he is a strong laborer, as long as he is diligent, it is no problem to serve six acres of land.

When he bought the land, Shen Xuanqing originally wanted to buy a few acres outside the town, but now he wants to see a shop, and it won't work for Lu Gu to farm the land by himself, so he put it aside for the time being, and he will save a little more money later. If you get seven or eight acres or ten acres, you should hire a long-term worker to plant it. Otherwise, if there is too little land, he will not be able to spare his hands, and it will not be worthwhile to hire a long-term worker.

The few hundred taels in his hand were the foundation of his life. He had already agreed with Lu Gu that if it was a serious matter, he should not move it. There were so many fields in his hometown, which had been enough for them to eat and drink prosperously in the past few years.

Luo Biao had never learned any craftsmanship, and he could not find a way to do business for a while. Because of his strength, he simply took care of the fields.

He has not had a home or land for many years, but now that he has a house and fertile land, he is more energetic than before.

Shen Xuanqing found him in the field. When he heard that the two of them were going to play in Fucheng for two days, Luo Biao didn't refuse, and promised to visit the shop for two days. In the big summer, he didn't do much work in the field every day. .

Luo Biao carried his **** and walked back with him. He smiled and said, "Bring me a pot of Zuixianfang's daughter Hong when you come back. It's just that small. I heard that they sell bamboo tubes and they are cheap."

Shen Xuanqing held down the other party's hand that was pulling money into his arms, and said, "No, just help you look at the shop, and I'll bring it for you when you come back."

"Success." Luo Biao smiled, he didn't love anything else, he just loved that sip of wine.

Lu Gu guarded the shop and sold an old hen, and no more customers came. After Luo Biao arrived, they said a few words and took a boat with Shen Xuanqing to the pier.

Going to Fucheng by water, because it was downstream, it didn't even take two quarters of an hour, and it was close, and it was agreed that they would go for a maximum of three days.

There are ferries at the wharf, and the boats are all sizes. Shen Xuanqing thought about it for a few years, and only brought Lu Gu out once, so he chose a big boat to sit on.

The boat swayed gently on the river. Lu Gu had only been on a fishing boat twice when he was a child. He was a relative from his grandfather's side. After his mother died, no one took him on the boat.

The cabin was spacious, and when the poles moved forward, he listened to the voice of the boatman outside, and unconsciously showed a smile.

The boat drifted down the water, which was unimaginably fast and smooth before riding a big boat. He was so happy that a heart in his chest seemed to run forward.

Seeing him so happy, Shen Xuanqing said to the boatman, then grabbed his hand and walked out. The two stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the big river ahead. The river was running so fast that the boat ran so fast.

The wind was blowing head-on, and Lu Gu never imagined that the boat ride would be so enjoyable.

The two of them blew a long gust of wind before they went back to the cabin and sat down. Shen Xuanqing said with a smile, "It's going down the river, and it's naturally fast. When we come back and take the boat again, it won't be so fast."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, and he had to sit down when he came back, so let him see it for a while.

When they got to Yuqing Mansion City, they disembarked from the dock, and the lively and hustle and bustle that came upon them was by no means comparable to that of a small town.

There were a lot of people at the pier, and they were crowded together. He didn't dare to stay away from Shen Xuanqing. Later, he simply walked next to Shen Xuanqing, so that he would not be afraid of getting lost.

The people here go out and often say that they are from Yuqing, so they finally came to Yuqing City today.

The two of them were wandering around in the city, while Luo Biao was sitting in the shop on the other side. He knew the price of the livestock, but no one came to buy them. He was free to pull out the bamboo baskets that Shen Xuanqing had not finished weaving.

"Guzi?"

Hearing the movement at the door, he thought he was here to buy meat, but when he raised his head, it was Li Wanyun and Li Wanger.

When they lived in Pearl Alley, Li Wanyun came here several times, so they knew each other.

Li Wanyun also saw clearly that it was him, and said with a smile, "It was you, I thought Gu Zi was there."

Luo Biao stood up and said that even though he had stayed in the brothel, he spoke less when facing a good family woman, scratched his head and said, "He and Second Brother Shen went to Yuqingfu City, are you here today?"

"It's nothing, I'm here to sell cloth, thinking that if Gu Zi is here, I'll talk to him for a while, since he's not here, I'll come back next time, you're busy first." Li Wanyun is also a woman who has seen the world now, so she starts talking. Come unambiguous.

After she and Wang'er left, Luo Biao sat down and continued to weave bamboo baskets, just writing and weaving, and suddenly thought that she was a widow who never remarried.

But then he sighed again, just like him, people might not like him, so he shook his head and didn't think about what he had or not.

Although many shops sell things they have, but there are many that they don't have. Lu Gu was dazzled all the way, until he heard a shop on the street shouting to sell Sushan, Shen Xuanqing's ears were sharp, and he heard it all at once.

Neither of them had eaten this thing before, so they didn't know the price, so they bought a bowl for 20 taels just like the one in front of them bought and sat in the store to eat.

There are crushed ice and cut fruits at the bottom of this crisp mountain. The top is a cake made of milk. The milk cake is soft and melts in your mouth. It is also sweetened with sugar. The crushed ice and fruits at the bottom are cool and sweet.

It is novel for Lu Gu to be able to eat ice that is only available in winter in summer.

He bit the crushed ice, made a soft noise in his mouth, and looked at Shen Xuanqing with a smile.

Yuqing City is very big, they didn't bring anything, they were very relaxed, and they walked around the street to eat, mostly picking up food that they had never eaten before. Some things were more expensive, but Shen Xuanqing could afford them. No one was restrained.

When the noon was the hottest, the sun gave him a headache, so Shen Xuanqing took him into a big inn.

There were people eating in the lobby, because they ate a lot along the way, so they didn't eat here, so Xiao Er led them upstairs.

The bed and table in the room are complete, and there is a bathtub screen. At first glance, it is better than the inn in Jixing Town.

When the sun was the most vicious in the inn, they went to the street to play again. This time Shen Xuanqing took him to the Yamen and told him that it was the Yamen, and also went to the main entrance of Yuqing Mansion City.

Lu Gu stood outside the city gate and looked up. He knew the characters, and the word "Yuqing" was written on the door plaque.

Such a grand and grand city gate is also found in places like Fucheng.

The two of them stayed in Fucheng for two nights before going back. They had eaten what they should have eaten, seen what they should have seen, and bought wine for Luo Biao. Lu Gu was satisfied. It's the first time I've had such a good time in my 20 years of childhood.

The boat went upstream, he sat in the cabin, and while no one was paying attention, he quietly hooked Shen Xuanqing's little finger, and said with a smile, "In the future, when Brother Ling is older, I will take him out on the boat to play."

"That's for sure." Shen Xuanqing agreed with a smile.

The clasped hands of the two quickly loosened, fearing that they would be seen gossiping.

After he came back, Luo Biao got the wine and was very happy. He sold a lot of money and gave it all to Shen Xuanqing. The circle, one represents the rabbit and the other two are chickens and ducks. If one is sold, it will be drawn horizontally under the circle.

When Shen Xuanqing came back to keep an account, it was clear at a glance.

After going out to play, life resumed. After two days, thinking about the child's hometown, Lu Gu thought about it, bought two watermelons at the dock, and put Shen Xuanqing on a mule cart, and they drove back.

Ling Geer was playing crazy at home, and the uncle and auntie even took him up the mountain to pick fruit, but they didn't see him saying that he wanted Eminem. He didn't want to cry until the mule cart stopped in front of the door and he saw Lu Gu.

This time, when I returned to Jixing Town, I brought the child with me.

Ling Geer is a beautiful and handsome little boy. Although he likes to play, he is very smart. Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing learned a few simple poems to memorize, and taught the child to memorize two simple sentences on a whim. Son, who would have thought that the next day, they Lingjun would memorize those two sentences word for word.

Most children have a good memory. Such a young child does not understand the meaning of the two poems, but he is still very happy. He hugged Linger and kissed him several times, as if he was so happy.

But when I taught more verses, Ling Geer was too young to have a certainty.

He has always been fond of children, and Shen Xuanqing told him not to hold Lingjun. He is still young, children in the town are not literate until they are seven or eight years old, and nine or ten years old are also very common, so they give up, why bother forcing children , He didn't see much promise when he was so young.

The summer has not yet passed, and Linggeer, who is almost three years old, has grown a little taller. The date for Shen Yan and Gu Chengyue to get married is set. It will be an auspicious day before the spring ploughing next year. At that time, there is not much life in the field, and relatives can come.

After the happy event was decided, everyone in the family was happy.

On an ordinary morning in late summer, in Pearl Alley, Lu Gu had just eaten his breakfast and drank a sip of tea, but suddenly felt his stomach churn and ran to the corner to vomit for a while.

Shen Xuanqing didn't realize anything at first, he patted his back and handed him tea, until Lu Gu slowly came over and looked at him, he realized it later, he quickly picked up Lingjun who didn't know what was going on, and grabbed Lu Gu with one hand. Gu's hand went to the hospital.

The doctor diagnosed the hi pulse, and Nian Xu smiled and said two words of congratulations.

Lu Gu was okay. It was like this when Brother Huailing was before. He smiled and looked at Shen Xuanqing. He never thought that Erqing in their family seemed to have been smashed by the doctor's words. Even more.
