For a while, he couldn't find an excuse, so Lu Gu had to remove the dirty mattress first, and the two of them replaced it with a clean one.

Looking at the sheets and quilts piled on the chair, let alone him, even Shen Xuanqing was embarrassed.

After a long time, Shen Xuanqing said: "Otherwise, I'll find an excuse in the noon, and let my mother and the others go out to visit. We wash and hang in the room. Close the doors and windows and don't open them these days."

"Is this okay?" Lu Gu asked weakly.

"This is the only way, I can't take it out to wash it right now." Shen Xuanqing also knew that if it was left in the room, it would be miserable once it was discovered, but if it was left in the courtyard today, they would have no children, no An excuse for a child to wet the bed.

It was true, Lu Gu had no choice but to nod.

After lunch, Shen Xuanqing went out, and came back only to say that the third grandmother was doing needlework at home, and Wei Lanxiang, who was idle and had nothing to do, didn't need to rush, and went over with the unfinished shoe soles.

He pretended to be casual and asked Shen Yan if she wanted to practice calligraphy. Today Lu Gu is ill and can't come. If she wants to practice, he will watch.

As soon as Shen Yan heard it, she quickly said that she should wait for Brother Guzi to get better and learn together, otherwise, it would be difficult for the two to learn one after the other.

Ji Qiuyue is really fine to stay at home. He heard that the husband and wife Quanzi were sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun to tease the baby, and they also went out. Shen Yaoqing had nothing to do, and went out with his daughter-in-law.

There was no one at home, so Shen Xuanqing immediately took the washing tub and mixed it with warm water. He had just finished eating. He made an excuse that he wanted to wash his hair and burned half a pot of boiling water.

Seeing that he brought the wooden basin in, Lu Gu hurriedly brought the sheet and quilt over, and both of them had red ears.

Shen Xuanqing rubbed the wild bath beads out of white foam and said, "It's too heavy to wring out, so I only wash the dirty ones."

"Yeah," Lu Gu replied in a muffled voice.

Fearing that the family members would come back suddenly, the two of them acted very quickly. Shen Xuanqing built a wooden frame with a wooden stick and a fork and placed it in the gap between the end of the bed and the wall. He put the list on the wooden frame and said, "This is If you are wronged for a few days and pretend to be sick, you will have an excuse to close the doors and windows. If you can’t do it today, maybe it will be fine tomorrow.”

Lu Gu's hands were still stained with water, and he nodded when he heard the words. As long as he was not found, there was no grievance.

It was the first time for such a sneaky act, and his heart was beating non-stop when he was washing, and he was a little relieved after finishing it.

Shen Xuanqing looked at the sheets on the wooden shelf, one deep and one shallow, and then looked at Lu Gu, the nervousness and sneaky excitement passed, and he couldn't help but let out a smile.

"I said I want to wash my hair, but it's sunny and windy outside. I'll go wash it first, or else I'll be exposed." Seeing Lu Gu's frowning eyes, he couldn't hold back after speaking, and he touched his husband's hair, full of heart. It's all joy.

In the next two days, Lu Gu's "suffering the wind and cold" made the Shen family very considerate, and there was no doubt that the doors and windows were closed.

Of course, he didn't stay in the room all the time, he would go outside when he was eating, and sometimes he would bask in the sun in the courtyard to show that he was only mildly ill, otherwise Wei Lanxiang would ask Shen Xuanqing to get the medicine.

Most of the country people are like this, and the mild illness will pass after a long time.

He stayed in the room for the rest of the time, closing the doors and windows, and Shen Xuanqing was "dealing" outside, but he was really undiscovered.

It was cold in winter and there was no sun to dry in the room. The wet area of ​​the sheets was cold and cold, and it hadn't dried for two days. Lu Gu couldn't help but feel anxious.

It was still at night that Shen Xuanqing brought in the charcoal brazier under the pretext of cooking him a fire. When it got dark, everyone else fell asleep, only the two of them were secretly baking sheets and quilts in the room.

"If I had known this, it should have been roasted with fire last night." Lu Gu said softly, touching the hot and dry sheets.

His thief-like whisper made Shen Xuanqing laugh.

The firelight reflected in Lu Gu's eyes, as if jumping in his eyes, flashing a warm and bright light.

The orange fire reflected the soft outline of Lu Gu, his eyes were innocent, because the sheets and bedding were dry, the corners of his eyes and brows were all happy, slightly curved, so that those who looked at him could not help but be immersed in this happiness.

There really are white jade skin and fat skin in the world, Shen Xuanqing thought silently, and suddenly remembered the day when he got married, he took off Lu Gu's red hijab and saw the twins with red marks on their brows full of tears, in fact, even if they were angry and lost at the time, the first At a glance, he knew that Lu Gu was good-looking.

Seeing Lu Gu's lustrous skin, he thought of something else. Bai Yulianzhi also needs to be taken care of. The wind and rain in the countryside seems to be rougher than the wind and rain in the town. I can afford the ointment, so I went back to town to buy some balm for Lu Gu's face.

He didn't think too much about it. Moisturizing skin is better than chapped and painful. Not to mention that Lu Gu is so squeamish. The wind in spring is still cold in winter, the hot wind in summer is rolling, the wind in autumn is bleak, and the wind in winter is sharp, four times a year. Season, wind, frost, rain and snow are all there, and the more he thinks about it, the more uneasy he feels.

"Help me fold it."

Lu Gu's soft words awakened his consciousness.

But when he was on the bed, Xu Shi's mindless thoughts affected Shen Xuanqing, and when he turned over, he enveloped Lu Gu under him again.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to tell Lu Gu that the weather outside is unpredictable, and staying at home and staying by his side is the right way.

What's more, outside, there are wild men he has never seen before.

But in a blink of an eye, it's ridiculous to say such mindless words, so I had to bow my head and kiss Lu Gu.

The experience of the previous two days made Lu Gu's body tremble slightly. He thought that he still wanted to come, and the sheets would be ready for tonight. After being kissed at the corner of his lips, he whispered, "The sheets can't be washed any more."

Shen Xuanqing laughed when he heard the words, he just wanted to kiss Lu Gu, without doing anything else, he said, "Just a few kisses."

Hearing this, Lu Gu was obviously relaxed, and the darkness concealed the joy in his eyes. Apart from touching, he also liked Shen Xuanqing to kiss him.

A light kiss fell on his cheek and the side of his neck, his warm breath fell on his ears, and he heard the deep, laughing voice.

"I sew a thick cloth for the bed these days. I don't have you at home to take you to the town to buy it. You don't need to wash the sheets in the future. You can also sew a piece on the quilt. If it gets dirty, I will remove it for you."

Lu Gu realized what the thick cloth was doing, and felt ashamed at the same time, Shen Xuanqing actually wanted to do such an excessive thing.

Usually, after the two of them are in the room, they wipe the body between the legs and they will be clean, and they will not get a lot of dirt like last time.

But he couldn't say the words to push or resist, because his lips were blocked.

The busyness of the first month seems to pass in the blink of an eye. A little sprout of the tough wild vegetables and weeds emerges, and mottled greens appear on the dead yellow and dead ground. A small piece here and there is a small piece, spreading into the fields.

After lunch, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing went to see the five acres of dry land they bought.

When the snow melted before, the ground was very muddy, and the water in the winter wheat field was the water for the wheat to drink. Fortunately, today, the snow water and the mud road have already dried up, and it will not stain the soles of the shoes. mud.

These five acres of dry land are fertile fields, and the wheat seedlings are bright and green, and they begin to grow after the spring.

Grain is the lifeblood of farmers. Since the greenery is radiant, after someone herds sheep and cattle, most people come to the field a few times a day. In case someone's stray cattle and sheep come to eat the wheat seedlings, they can be driven away in time. Either they are caught, and if they eat too much, they will be judged by the host.

"Shepherd's purse." Lu Gu saw the wild vegetables on the edge of the field, squatted down and pushed them out, and ate all winter's radishes and dried wild vegetables. These fresh green vegetables are the rarest after the spring.

There weren't many shepherd's purse, so he shook off the soil on the roots, looked elsewhere, and wanted to look for it. Wei Lanxiang dug some on the hillside early in the morning.

Shen Xuanqing saw the shepherd's purse in another place, bent down and pulled it out, and said, "Wait down to the mountain to look for Chinese toon, and come back to scramble eggs to eat."

"Okay." Lu Gu agreed, looking around and seeing the figure of Shepherd's Purse again.

The two of them walked all the way to dig wild vegetables. When they got home, they made a lot of them. Then they took the basket and the long bamboo pole with the hook. They said to Wei Lanxiang and went out.

As soon as they came out, Aunt Miao and Mother Quan were chatting outside the door, and when they saw them carrying bamboo poles, they asked, "Going to go with Guzi hooking toon?"

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded and replied, having nothing else to say, he said, "Auntie, we will go first."

"Okay, let's go." Aunt Miao repeatedly agreed.

Just as she was talking, Li Wanyun also came out of the door. She was still wearing Zhang Zhengzi's cotton-padded clothes. She saw Lu Gu smile and didn't say anything else.

Lu Gu returned a shallow smile, and was still thinking about walking up the mountain with Shen Xuanqing. It seems that since he saw Li Wanyun wearing men's clothes for the first time, the smile on her face became more and more, and she would come out to meet the neighbors. Chat gossip.

And the old Mrs. Zhang didn't scold her anymore, he thought, this would be very good, and finally he didn't have to live the old days.

Lu Gu didn't know that when he was on the mountain, Li Wanyun cooked a delicious soft and mushy meal for the old Zhang to bring it into the room, so that he could not chew it. After a cold winter, the old Zhang has long lost his spirit. , becoming more and more sluggish, and can only lie on the bed at this moment.

"It's time to eat." Li Wanyun put the food on the table and said coldly.

However, the old Mr. Zhang on the bed heard the movement, only opened his cloudy eyes, and weakly, he made a few unspeakable movements from his throat.

Li Wanyun was shocked when she saw that she had lost the spirit of the morning. Could it be that she was going to die?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt. Once the old Zhang died, how could she, a widow, resist the relatives of the Zhang family who had lost their conscience. Even if she wanted to remarry, she would not be able to do so during the three years of mourning, and she even had money in her hand. nothing.

She is not as ruthless as the old Zhang Shi, as long as the old woman doesn't provoke her, she will not beat and scold her.

So far, only a handful of silver coins have been found in the old Zhang's box and cabinet. The old Zhang is also a thief, and she still doesn't know where to put the house deed and land deed.

She didn't even know how her mind was spinning, so she immediately shook the old Mrs. Zhang: "Do you want to live?"

The word "live" made the old Zhang Shi's eyes clearer, but she didn't believe Li Wanyun, her injured and ill body was so weak that she couldn't even speak.

Li Wan Yun's hands were trembling in her long sleeves, and her throat was shaking a little, because she didn't know what to do if the old Zhang Shi died.

She thought for a moment, then said coldly, "I don't want to save you, but if you die, with your good relatives, I won't be able to live, so let me tell you this, the family's money is almost spent, If you want to live, you can only sell the land, and I will buy ginseng for you to live."

Ginseng!

When the old Zhang Shi heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, she didn't want to die.

The toon tree grows tall, and the young shoots begin to emerge. In fact, it will be better for the young shoots to grow in a month and a half, but Shen Xuanqing wants to eat it, so they will go up the mountain to try their luck. Fry dishes to satisfy your cravings.

It was cold in spring, and even more so on the mountain, when the wind blew, it was freezing. Fortunately, they both wore thick clothes to resist the cold.

It was also because the sprouts were too small at the moment, and few people came to the mountain to pick them, so they really asked them to get some and went back before dinner.

With the smoke from the cooking, most people in Qingxi Village are cooking at this time.

Lu Gu fried toon eggs for Shen Xuanqing, which was fresh enough that even Ji Qiuyue, who had a poor appetite today, ate it deliciously.
