The Sweet Little Fulang

Autumn is getting darker, and every family in the fields is working in full swing, pulling firewood beans and peanuts. Few people can take time to spare, and half-year-old children are also called into the fields to help.

In the courtyard of the second bedroom of the Shen family, Xia Fulang, who came back from washing clothes by the river, came in with a wooden basin. Two little yellow dogs were fighting and biting in the courtyard. He glanced at the pottery pot rolled open on the mud stove, and shouted inside. : "Milk, milk fruit is boiled, I'll bring you a bowl later."

Lu Gu, who was playing with Zhao'er and Lingjun in the room, heard it and shouted out from the half-closed window, "I understand, Mamma, if you want to drink, take a bowl."

"Hey, good." Xia Fulang suddenly smiled, milk fruit is a good thing, recently, with Lu Gu's blessing, he can drink a bowl of tonic every three or five.

The Shen family can drink this every day. Sometimes they don't want to cook it, so they will give some to their neighbors, otherwise it would be a practice to throw them away. The day before yesterday, Wei Lanxiang took a few for the third room. What is the child? Clean, few people will dislike the milk fruit that has been eaten, just cut off the fruit, and it is a good thing, how many people think about it and want to ask others for it.

Xiafulang dried the clothes and diapers in the courtyard, took two bowls from the kitchen, reduced the firewood under the tandoor, and lifted the clay pot, and only then scooped two bowls of soup into the room.

He put the bowl on the table and waited for it to cool before drinking it, so as not to burn his mouth.

Ji Qiuyue went to work in the field, left Zhao'er at home, and asked them to help look after her for a long time. When He Zhi and Chen Dongdong finished their work tomorrow, they could be hired to do the work. Xia Fulang's family has strong labor. , he has his son and daughter-in-law to work on, he only needs to earn his own wages this month, a penny, the Shen family treats him well, and sometimes they leave him for meals to help take care of the children, there is nothing wrong.

Lu Gu put Xiao Lingjun in the wooden cradle beside the bed to sleep, Zhaoer crawled around on the bed, he was only one year old, he didn't know the importance, he just crawled to Lingjun's side and tried to poke it with his fingers. Ling Jun's face, he could only separate the two children.

Xia Furang sat by the bed and chatted with Lu Gu. He didn't have much work to do, just wash clothes and shoes, and then help with cooking for the past few days, washing milk fruits for the children and other chores. He looked at Zhao'er. Seeing the joy in his heart, he would still laugh when he was chubby, so he said, "Wen Zhao looks like a tiger with a head and a head, and he will definitely have a future."

Lu Gu smiled when he heard it, Zhao'er is smart and definitely has something to do.

It is not easy for him to go out of the house during confinement, and it is inconvenient for him to cook and wash with cold water. Now, with Xiafu Lang accompanying him, he is talking and laughing at home. The two children are young, but fortunately, Xiaoling does not eat and sleep well. Crying, they can cope with it without being so chaotic.

In the afternoon, Ji Qiuyue was worried about her child. After Xia Fulang helped to prepare it, she came back to pick it up and took a look at Zhao'er. There was no need to bring dinner. At dusk and dusk, after the sun went down, the family wiped sweat and entered the door. .

Xiafu Lang cooked two more meals, but he also ate together, and the wages were naturally paid. He was very clever. He went home and cooked meals for his family first, and then ran over to cook here after not eating.

After working hard in the field all day, he went back to the room to rest after washing hastily at night. Shen Xuanqing didn't come back for a day, and he didn't see his little Shuanger. The moon climbed above his head, and he lit the oil lamp in the room to coax the children to play.

Xiao Lingjun wanted to eat a milk fruit before going to bed at night. He was sitting on the edge of the bed holding the baby in one hand and holding the milk fruit in one hand. It's been a month, and Shen Xuanqing is still holding the child like this. For fear of where he will start heavy, his posture looks cramped and stiff. Fortunately, Wei Lanxiang has taught him how to hold the child a few times. His posture is not comfortable, but it does not make the child uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lingjun eats milk fruit well, he smiled and said, "You don't have to get up at night, I changed the diaper and put it on the chair, you can sleep on yours."

Shen Xuanqing looked up, nodded and said, "Alright, Ye Feng is cold, just don't go out."

There was no other movement outside, and he was tired and fell asleep after thinking about it. He whispered again: "I have been very busy these two days. I got up early and went to the field. The elder brother said that he would have a sheep baby in the past few days. Tomorrow, sister-in-law Don't go down to the ground, let her take Zhao'er over there to watch, if there is any movement, call me or big brother to go back."

Xiao Lingjun let go of the fruit in his mouth, he glanced down, handed the empty milk fruit to Lu Gu, patted the swaddle to coax the child to sleep, and whispered, "It's too late to breed ewes this year, and I'm busy with farming. , next year is still a little earlier, diverge."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded and put the milk fruit in the basket. Seeing that Lingjun was asleep, he lifted the quilt.

Shen Xuanqing knelt on the bed with one knee, leaning over to put his son down carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them slept in the same quilt before, but they split up after they had the child sleeping in the middle. Afraid that the quilt would be too heavy for the adults, Lu Gu even asked Wei Lanxiang to help sew a thick little quilt. Sometimes Even if it's cold on a rainy night, it doesn't matter if he is Shen Xuanqing, just pull his quilt over and cover it with Xiao Lingjun.

Taking a breath, the candle light went out, and the room soon became quiet.

Working in the field for a day, Shen Xuanqing is a strong worker again, and he exerts a lot of strength. He fell asleep after a long time. Lu Gu, who was sleeping inside, patted the little Linger who was not sleeping peacefully and humming. Gradually, into dreamland.

However, in the middle of the night, as soon as the child cried, Shen Xuanqing immediately opened his eyes, and Lu Gu also woke up.

"It's wet again." Lu Gu touched the child and said, the moonlight was good tonight, and the light was shining through the window paper, and he took out Xiao Lingjun's diaper.

Shen Xuanqing tore off a clean piece from the head of the bed, sleepy eyes but still hoarse voice: "I'll just change it, you don't have to get up."

As soon as he spoke, he moved his hand, but Lu Gu couldn't do anything. He just lay up and lay down again, thinking that tomorrow night, he would still be sleeping outside, so that Shen Xuanqing would not have to get up.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingjun is very easy to coax, changing into a clean diaper is no longer uncomfortable, hugging and shaking a few times and coaxing him no longer crying, not too embarrassing for his daddy who is so sleepy that his eyelids are fighting.

This is how children do, they don't care about the time of day, they cry when they pee in the middle of the night, they cry when they are hungry, and there is no set time, like tonight they just pee, not wake up from hunger, before midnight, Shen Xuanqing had to give her He feeds milk fruit.

There is no fire at the bottom of the stove and the mud stove at night. Sometimes when there is no moon, I have to call the rest of the family to light the fire. For this, Shen Xuanqing went to the town to buy a fire certificate and came back. With Mars, it's much cheaper, but the Huo Zhe is a bit expensive, and he needs 60 cents to buy a cheap one.

After putting down the child, Lu Gu was habitually afraid that Xiao Lingjun would coax him a few times, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Shen Xuanqing stumbled "um" and then stopped moving, really tired.

Sure enough, the ewe gave birth, and in the middle of collecting Chaidou and peanuts, Shen Yaoqing was called back by Ji Qiuyue in time, and looked after it carefully. Fortunately, it was not cold recently. Fairly smooth, no dystocia.

He came back from the field in a hurry and was in a hurry. After the lamb came out, it all turned into joy. This was the first time their family gave birth to a lamb. Next to Ji Qiuyue was holding Zhao'er, and her face was also full of joy. If you raise more in the future, Sheep are all herds in groups. It is how long these black-hoofed sheep have been raised, and the wildness on the mountain is not easy to release.

In the evening, when Wei Lanxiang, Shen Yan and Shen Xuanqing came back, they were equally happy to see the little lamb.

During Futian, the family pulled the lamb raised last year to the town to kill and sell it, leaving the ram and two ewes. Perhaps the ewes and rams that were caught first stayed for a long time. However, she was pregnant. Later, the ewe did not have a big belly. Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing also joked about it. This ram has a very strange temperament. The first ewe went forward, and they didn't force it. By next year, a few more sheep might be able to be matched.

I was busy with harvesting autumn beans and peanuts, drying and flipping them every day, but no one complained. At the end of the month, the child was full moon, and Lu Gu was finally able to go out.

Xiao Lingjun was born, and the little lamb grew well, and it was a happy event one after another. Wei Lanxiang can say that people are in good spirits when they meet a happy event, and everyone is happy when they meet them.

On the day of the full moon wine, Shen Xuanqing was very happy. Lu Gu had no family. He had already made the silver lock of Ping An, which was no worse than others. On the mat where relatives and friends were entertained, all kinds of fruits, cakes, wine and meat were very rich and hot. It was a lively day.

Lu Gu has eaten and slept well since he arrived at the Shen family, and his health has gradually improved. After giving birth, he had no other problems. After sitting for 30 days, the little confinement took care of his body. The next day, while Brother Xiaoling was sleeping, he and Ji Qiuyue walked around the river in the village to relieve their boredom, and finally they were able to come out and walk away.

On the way to the big mansion, I met Nanny Ah Jin on the way, and stopped to say a few words.

After the two of them left, A Jinnai looked at Lu Gu's back with envy in her eyes. She has lived in Qingxi Village for all these years, and there are a few people who can afford to wait for them while they are confinement. Still don't have to work while pregnant, never thought that Lu Gu would be more fortunate. Don't talk about her, when some women and husbands in the village gossip, even the most broken-mouthed people have a bit of envy in their words.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, the good boy rushed over. Lu Gu smiled and rubbed his head. Before, he only heard Shen Xuanqing talking about the little lamb, but today he came to see it himself. Not to mention chickens and ducks, the calves have not been seen for a long time, and there are pigs The pigs in the pen don't know how much they have grown and fattened in more than a month.

After summer, the weather is not so hot, and the stench of the dung heap is much lessened. Firewood beans and peanuts are dried in the empty field, and they will be completely dried in a few days before they can be collected.

Ji Qiuyue went to work in the backyard as soon as she came here. Zhaoer has a Wei Lanxiang belt at home. She is one year old and can eat steamed buns by herself. Later, Shen Yaoqing didn't let Shen Yaoqing go up the mountain to pick milk nuts because of enough milk, so he left a ration for other people's children.

Lu Gu first went to the sheepfold to look at the little lamb, and the boy kept wagging his tail and followed him back and forth.

"It looks so good." He stood outside the sheepfold and couldn't help but say a word. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the "baa" of the little lamb. He suddenly became happy and asked again, "Are you with me? say?"

The little lamb said "baa" again, and he was so happy that he stood there and giggled, the little lamb was really interesting. He only heard a "moo" from the other side of the cow pen, he turned his head and looked over, it was the calf who recognized him and was barking.

Lu Gu became more and more delighted. He hadn't seen him for a month. The calf still remembered him, so he went over to add water to the calf's water tank. The calf didn't drink it immediately, but rubbed his big head against his hand, and then buried his head in the ox to drink.
