The Sweet Little Fulang

At the entrance of Pearl Alley, Shen Yan and Good Boy went down first, while Shen Xuanqing led the mule around the back alley.

Before she reached the gate of the sixth courtyard, she saw Lu Gu come out with a bamboo basket, and she said happily, "Brother Guzi."

Seeing it was her, Lu Gu immediately smiled and said, "Come in, my sister-in-law and the two children are at home, I'm going out to buy some food, we'll have stewed tofu in the afternoon, do you want to eat boiled meatballs? We still have some pork at home, wait a minute. It's not too late for me to come back."

It's cold in the morning. Today, Ling Ge'er has a stomachache and is not comfortable with crying. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, he just fell asleep, and he has time to buy vegetables.

The good boy hadn't seen him for a few days, so he ran over to rub his legs.

The Tofu Factory is on Nanji Street, not too far away. Lu Gu brought his dog and bought a few pieces of tofu and a fish soon. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Shen Xuanqing sitting at the stone table drinking hot tea, his eyebrows twitching. , with a nice smile.

He had a bamboo basket in one hand and a fish in the other. He carried the advanced kitchen and put it down. Then he came to sit next to him and asked, "Wake up early to eat?"

Shen Xuanqing put his hands on the hot teapot to keep warm, and when he saw him coming, he poured a bowl for him and said with a smile: "Eat it, it's cold on the road, just drink some hot tea."

Hearing Shen Yan playing with Zhao'er in the east wing, Lu Gu rushed into the room and shouted, "Yanyan, can you drink some too?"

"I have it here." Shen Yan agreed.

That being the case, he didn't care anymore, seeing that Shen Xuanqing's hands were cold, he said, "You often drive the car, it's inconvenient to use the whip to hold the rope with the sleeve. I've been free in the past two days, and I have a lot of rabbit skins at home. My aunt asked, see how the leather gloves are made, and I will make you a pair."

Where can ordinary people afford leather goods, because Shen Xuanqing is a hunter, and their family sells rabbits, so there are not many rabbit skins.

Mrs. Liu is a local from Jixing Town. She has a little money in her family and has seen a lot of things in the world. The richer and richer people, in addition to fur collars in winter, also use furs to make gloves. The five fingers are separated and wrapped tightly. It is much more convenient than a sleeve that can only be put in by hand, and it is not afraid of cold after wearing it.

He was chatting with Madam Liu two days ago, and after hearing her say such a thing, Shen Xuanqing's hands were cold, so he remembered it.

The countryman has never seen such a thing. If he wants to make it himself, he has to think about it, but there are a lot of rabbit skins in the house, even if one or two are broken, it will not be a big problem.

Or maybe it's better to try cutting, cutting and sewing with cheap burlap first, and then start with the fur when you know how to do it.

Lu Gu frowned while drinking hot tea. On the needlework, his various ideas were quite vivid.

Because Shen Yan came, there was more steamed fish to cook at noon.

"fish."

Brother Ling was sitting in Lu Gu's arms, his little finger pointed at the fish on the table, and he shouted a word in a milky voice. In August, he and Zhao'er had their birthdays one after the other. Now one is one year old and the other is two years old. is the age to speak.

"Okay." Lu Gu took a little white and tender fish meat, and after a closer look, there were no small thorns, so he gave it to the children.

Brother Xiaoling has grown up, after all, he is younger than Zhao'er, and he is only a year old, so he doesn't speak so neatly. Sometimes Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing teach him that he is reluctant to learn, but once it is related to food, remember that it is a quick one. , just like a fish, after teaching it once, he will say and recognize what it is.

On the other hand, Ji Qiuyue is also feeding Zhao'er with fish. When the two milk dumplings eat, as long as there is something in their mouths or in their small wooden bowls, they are very well behaved.

The wooden bowl was made after Zhao’er broke several bowls in the house. Wei Lanxiang went to a carpenter and asked him to make it. The two little brothers had one for each. Although the bowl was not expensive, it was money if you broke it. Wooden bowls are better. Bu Ji Qiuyue brought him to live in the town, even the wooden bowl.

Now that the two children can eat a little bit of food, Lu Gu doesn't often use spicy food in cooking, and the steamed fish is also for the children to eat a few bites.

The meat of the fish is tender, and it can be moved when you sip it in the mouth, which is better than the meatballs, but Zhaoer still ate two meatballs.

Lingjun still mainly eats milk fruit now, because he is a young Shuang'er, his appetite can be smaller, and he has an upset stomach. He only ate a few small bites of fish, and then he turned his head to avoid eating, even the small half of his hand. He didn't eat any steamed buns anymore, he sat on Lu Gu's lap and played, breaking the steamed buns everywhere.

As soon as he lowered his head and saw his son wasting food, Lu Gu couldn't stand it any longer. He took the broken steamed buns out of his hand and said, "Okay, I won't eat it for your father."

Shen Xuanqing was used to it, and stretched out his big hand to let Brother Ling put it in his palm.

"Dad, Daddy." Brother Xiaoling laughed and put the smashed steamed bun into his father's hand. Now he can call Eminem and Daddy. Shen Xuanqing's heart seemed to melt every time he heard it, and his face kept smiling.

"Hey, it's good, Daddy eats Daddy." He happily took his son's broken buns, and when he was shouted a few times, he couldn't give birth to any dislike at all, as if he was so happy.

Lu Gu didn't dislike his son, but when he was drinking ball soup just now, Ling Ge'er's little hand was so quick after putting down the bowl, he put his finger into the soup bowl on the table, and he stopped moving after holding it down. It was oily, and the steamed buns shattered like that again, so let Shen Xuanqing eat it.

"I'm done eating, let's go first." Shen Yaoqing put down the bowl, he ate fast, and he had nothing else to do, so he went to the shop and opened the door first, business was important.

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing said: "I'll wait for the rabbit to pull down and kill it, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yeah." Shen Yaoqing nodded, got up and didn't leave immediately, flicked his fingers under Zhao'er's forehead, and saw his son covering his forehead with both hands, he was instantly happy.

"Go!" Ji Qiuyue annoyed him that he always liked to provoke his son, and sometimes deliberately made the child cry. If he couldn't coax her well, she had to come, so she glared at him and said, "Come on, go, it's annoying."

Shen Yaoqing was disliked, he knew that he was cheap, but sometimes he wanted to tease his son when he was okay, but he was scolded, and he saw his daughter-in-law staring at him again, looking like he was not to be provoked, he touched his nose and smiled and slid away. .

In the afternoon, Shen Yan and the others had to rush home before dark, so after dinner, Lu Gu quickly washed the dishes and took her to the embroidery workshop with Ji Qiuyue to sell handkerchiefs.

Shen Xuanqing went to the backyard to use a trolley to pull the rabbit to the butcher's shop to slaughter and peel it, so as not to mess up the house, he didn't have a mule, so he pulled it and left.

Lu Gu locked the courtyard door and let the good boy look after the house. Shen Yan was holding Ling Geer, his arms were light, and he only had a small cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand.

The embroidery workshop we talked about is on Dongxing Street. The sun is good in the noon, and there is no wind. There are more pedestrians on the road.

There are various stalls on both sides of the street. The sun is strong in summer and the wind is strong in autumn and winter. They build awnings or cover umbrellas. The large blue cloth umbrellas block the sun. Some sheds are well made and can cover Weatherproof.

Shen Yan has been to Jixing Town several times, but she is not as familiar with Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue. She has not been out for a long time, and she has to look twice when she sees anything.

Compared to before, now she is obviously more stable, and when she sees something she doesn't know, she asks Lu Gu softly.

"slim Shady."

After walking for a while, Brother Ling stretched out his arms for Lu Gu to hug, and the two exchanged hands.

When passing by the cloth village, Shen Yan said with a smile: "When I went out, my mother gave me money to pull some good cloth back. She made two new clothes for Zhao'er and Lingge'er in her spare time, and kept a good one for Chinese New Year. Wear new clothes."

"What's so difficult about this, just buy it from the embroidery workshop." Ji Qiuyue said, and said again: "The embroidery workshop also sells cloth, but it is more expensive than the cloth shop. Let's go to the cloth shop to see. It’s good to pick a similar one.”

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded.

The three of them were walking and laughing, and when they saw a candy seller, Zhaoer knew what it was, and she was dishonest in Ji Qiuyue's arms, so anxiously called her mother: "Mother, mother, candy."

"It's not that I just had dinner." Ji Qiuyue was a little reluctant to buy it. She lived in the town and had to go out to play every day. Every time she came out, Zhao'er had to buy something.

But Zhaoer was crying and crying. Shen Yan now has some private money in her hand, and she still has more than enough money to buy a candy man. She hugged Zhaoer with a smile and said, "Auntie will buy it for you, okay?"

"Okay." Zhao'er agreed to be a Cuisheng, holding her neck with both hands.

"Why don't my aunt want to hug you in the morning? Now that I have candy, I am married to my aunt?" Ji Qiuyue laughed at her son and said, "If you eat aunt's candy man, if you don't dare to behave in a hurry tomorrow, I will let aunt beat you. "

After buying the candy man, Zhao'er was at peace. Lu Gu was a little afraid that Linger would also eat it. The child was too young and had a stomach upset again today, so he couldn't eat candy man.

Fortunately, Ling Geer has an upset stomach and is not very concerned about eating. He had a few mouthfuls of food just now. He glanced at the candy man in Zhao'er's hands and was not interested. Voice.

In front of the embroidery workshop, Ji Qiuyue reached out and took Zhaoer.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the embroidery workshop proprietress standing behind the counter, Lu Gu said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhou, my sister has embroidered some handkerchiefs, take a look."

The last time Shen Xuanqing came to the embroidery workshop to talk about business, he also followed, so he knew the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Zhou is a straightforward woman, she speaks without ambiguity, and has a good temperament. She smiles a little when she sees her, and doesn't take it lightly.

The embroidery workshop is for business, and the embroidery mother outside brings embroidery work, she will definitely have to look at it, as long as it is a good thing, if it can be sold, it will naturally be accepted.

Shen Yan took 20 handkerchiefs this time. She had to do other work at home, and it took a long time for her to save up. When Lu Gu taught her, he told her to calm down and slow down. Embroidery was in a hurry. She kept this in mind. , twenty handkerchiefs are well embroidered.

"It's all good." Shopkeeper Zhou raised his head after reading it, counted the money from the counter with a smile, handed it over and said, "If there are more in the future, remember to come again."

"Okay, many thanks to the shopkeeper." Shen Yan took the eighty pennies, her almond eyes slightly curved.

Her appearance is not bad, although she is not beautiful and charming, but she has bright eyes and bright teeth, and her smile adds a bit of energy to her eyes, which is very pleasing.

Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue were also happy for her after she sold it for 80 cents.

Lu Gu said goodbye to the shopkeeper Zhou, hugged Ling Ge'er and walked out with the two of them, and whispered, "Put away the good life, you can have it with your own money."

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded heavily, with a smile on his brows.

They walked out the door, never wanting to bump into a young scholar who was about to enter.

A fair lady, with a smile.

Gu Chengyue caught a glimpse of Shen Yan's smiling face behind him, and was immediately stunned, his mind couldn't move, and his hands and feet seemed to be unresponsive.

He was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses. Seeing that it was a woman and a husband, he hurriedly moved to the side. Because he almost bumped into Ji Qiuyue, who was holding the child, he grinned and pleaded, "The more offenses, the more offenses. Please forgive me."

Ji Qiuyue stopped when he almost bumped into him, and was unhappy with him being so offended. How could he walk without looking at people, not to mention that the three of them walked out of the door and talked while walking, how could they not hear him again? It's not that it was quiet and silent, but luckily it didn't really hit.

Seeing that the scholar was both bowing and accusing, looking anxious and frightened, it really didn't seem like it was intentional, so she had to give up and said, "Okay, you bent and bowed, you must look at the road in the future. "

"Definitely." Gu Chengyue smiled apologetically, and when he raised his head, his eyes involuntarily landed on the curious face of Shen Yan. He was a scholar, he knew the etiquette, and he didn't dare to look at others.

Speaking of which, Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing have both studied. There are private schools in the countryside. When the village boys go to study in the winter, Shen Yan has seen them, but a young and fair man dressed as a scholar looks like he is studying in the town. I haven't seen a few, so I'm a little curious.

"Let's go, first pull the cloth, and then go to the shop to have a look." Ji Qiuyue said as he walked, and the three gradually moved away.

Gu Chengyue waited for them to walk away, and stood at the door of the embroidery workshop blankly, but he dared to even glance at his back, and there were only four words left in his heart.
