The Sweet Little Fulang

The balm had a special effect, not too much but not too strong. It made Lu Gu soberly feel the difference in his body. He was almost ashamed, but he couldn't control his voice and quickly covered his mouth.

But his hands gradually loosened, and there was a sound that made Shen Xuanqing blushed, and it was no better than a mountain at home.

Lu Gu had no strength in his hands, but fortunately, Shen Xuanqing stretched out his hand from behind and helped him cover his mouth.

After being covered by the powerful hand, Lu Gu felt a little relieved and tried his best to endure everything. It was obviously winter, and even though the coldness came in from the outside because of this, the bed was still so hot that he wanted to put his hands and feet on him. Reach outside to cool off.

The moon in the sky was covered by clouds, and it suddenly fell into even more darkness.

—

In the early morning, the door squeaked, and the coldness hit him, making people shrink their necks, rub their hands and faces, and then took the firewood and went to the kitchen to light the water.

The pup got down from the sack, yawned, stretched out, and ran into the kitchen with a "wow".

"Brother Daqing, you got up so early." Shen Yan got up and heard the movement in the kitchen, but when she came over she saw Shen Yaoqing, she thought it was Lu Gu who was busy in the kitchen.

"It's not that your sister-in-law said you're thirsty. You didn't drink enough water last afternoon." Shen Yaoqing put a firewood on the bottom of the stove, and the dog's two front paws stepped on the upper of his shoe. Unable to bear his feet, he moved the puppy aside.

Seeing that there was no white steam on the edge of the pot, Shen Yan said, "It's still early. When it's boiled for sister-in-law to drink, put it on the rack and put some steamed buns to warm it up."

"Okay, I see." Shen Yaoqing agreed.

It was too cold outside, and there was no way to wash up until the water was boiled, so Shen Yan went back to her room.

With the barking of **** and dogs, the entire Qingxi Village woke up one after another, and there were more and more voices from every household.

It's cold in winter, and it's not easy to get up. I slept late last night, and when Lu Gu woke up, he couldn't help dawdling in the bed.

"Don't worry, eldest brother has boiled the water." Shen Xuanqing came in from outside the room and closed the door when he saw that he was about to get dressed.

After seeing Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu recalled what happened last night, his face and ears blushed, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at it.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that last night's balm was different, otherwise he wouldn't be like that. I don't know where Shen Xuanqing got this stuff, it's not serious.

Seeing him like this, Shen Xuanqing didn't know why, he faked a cough and pretended not to think of anything, and said, "It's not good today, it's still windy outside, wear more clothes."

Lu Gu didn't say anything, just nodded his head to show that he knew.

"I'm going to change the water, it's always hot under the quilt." Shen Xuanqing walked over and said, and took out Mrs. Tang from the end of the bed.

Now Lu Gu has also dressed and got out of bed. After he went out, he rubbed his hot face, and then bent down and folded the bed.

The breakfast meal at home is simple. The steamed buns and pickles are enough to eat six or seven minutes. Today, I cooked an extra egg for Ji Qiuyue.

After eating, Lu Gu swept the courtyard and the outside, and the tables, chairs and benches in the main room were also swept away with a feather duster.

After the busy work, there was nothing else to do, so Shen Xuanqing called them to study.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was so cold that the writing hand was too cold outside, so I lit a brazier in the main room, and put Mrs. Tang on the table. They don't need to take the exams, and they don't need to dare to slack off like poor students.

Because the two of them were serious, Shen Xuanqing even saved the ruler.

The brazier was lit, Wei Lanxiang came over with a sewing basket and sat down. She found a soft cotton cloth to cut the soles of the shoes, and made tiger-toed shoes for the baby. You can’t use a jacket, it’s too hard, and linen is not good. Mother bought some cotton cloth and colorful embroidery thread back.

She knows how to make tiger head shoes, and she even bought more embroidery thread to embroider flowers and grass patterns on the uppers on both sides. This is her first eldest grandson. The shoes must be beautiful, so that other people in the village will be impressed. The tiger-toed shoes made are even inferior. Who let those people show off in front of her with their grandchildren in their arms, and the tongue-sucking tongue was chewing in the back, saying that their Qiuyue would not be able to give birth.

In the countryside, tiger head shoes are generally only embroidered on the front of the tiger head, and only those who are particular about embroidering are embroidered on the upper. Although her embroidery work is not as delicate as Lu Gu's, she also has a few flower patterns. Bright embroidery is beautiful.

Ji Qiuyue didn't know what she was holding back in her heart. Seeing that she wanted to embroider tiger-toed shoes, she moved a chair and sat beside the brazier. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed how to embroider in a low voice. A pair of red is not enough. When it gets cold, I have to make a few pairs of thick shoes for the baby. All the red ones are not very good-looking. It is better to buy some yellow cloth. As long as it is a warm and bright color, there will be no taboo for children to wear them.

After half the morning of reading and writing, Shen Yaoqing wandered around the village, and came back to call Shen Xuanqing to go out to see the fields, and the eldest of the Lu family wanted to sell the land.

The sky became more and more gloomy. After the two brothers went out, Lu Gu packed up the pen and ink, washed the ink on his hands, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

It didn't take much effort to look at the land. Shen Xuanqing was willing to buy it when he saw that it was a fertile Toyota land, but he needed to buy it out, and he couldn't redeem it with him in the future. They were all acquaintances in Qingxi Village. He agreed, and the five mu of dry land was given to Shen Xuanqing at the price of five or two and one mu.

Boss Lu was also agile, and immediately found a writer from the same village to write the land deed. It was witnessed by the relatives of the Lu family, the left and right neighbors, and the middle people. After everyone's names and fingerprints were on the land deed, one hand If you give money to Tian Deed, the contract and five acres of land will belong to Shen Xuanqing.

There were snowflakes falling outside, Shen Xuanqing folded Tian Qi into his arms, raised his eyes to look at Boss Lu, and before he could speak, Boss Lu said, "I know you want to say, it's not good to go to Fucheng if it snows today, wait a while. After the weather clears, I will accompany you to seal the official seal."

"That being the case, I will call you when the time comes." Shen Xuanqing agreed.

"It's done." Shen Xuanqing gave these twenty-five taels happily, unlike other people who had to bargain for a price, it was impossible to know for a long time. Boss Lu had money in his arms to relieve his urgent needs, he was relieved, and he gave it back with a loud laugh. The brothers went out.

The land deed is a red deed after paying the land tax to the government and then stamping it with the official seal. Otherwise, it is just a white deed. Not to mention other contracts, the land deed and the land deed are taken very seriously by the court. Gotta do it right.

After coming out, Shen Yaoqing looked at the falling snowflakes, turned his head and said, "Meng Dayue killed pigs today. Last night, your sister-in-law said that she wanted to eat fresh pork. I'll go buy a few hangs."

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing remembered that he wanted to give Lu Gu bone sticks, but he never bought them when he came back, so he said, "Why don't you buy some more bone sticks, simmer them in a big fire, and simmer them on a medicine stove when you eat them, don't be afraid. The more you eat it, the colder it gets, and the bones are full of fresh meat."

"That's good, you don't have to go out when it snows today. It's beautiful to eat meat and bones at home." Shen Yaoqing clapped his hands and praised, and said, "Go back and tell your mother that Tian bought it, show her Tian Qi, and I'll go buy the meat. "

"Well." Shen Xuanqing didn't argue with him, and called Da Hui, who followed him, to go home first.

There is less meat on the bone stick, which is cheaper than hanging meat. There are many people in the family and there are dogs. The bones can be eaten by the dogs, so Shen Yaoqing bought more.

It was noon after I bought it. The rice soup and steamed buns in the Lugu pot were all hot. He was cooking with a horse spoon outside. When he heard that Ji Qiuyue wanted to eat fried pork slices, he couldn't get his hands up and quickly called Shen Yan to cut the meat, because Ji Qiuyue liked spicy food. , he intends to use dried chili peppers to fry the pork slices. The dried chili peppers are not that spicy.

When frying the pork slices, Lu Gu had a lot of firewood in the medicine stove. His original intention was to stir fry it on a high fire so that the family could eat as soon as possible, but he was using the horse spoon for the first time today. Now, I didn't control the heat, and I accidentally fried the meat slices a bit dry and charred, and the lean meat was not very visible. The white fat meat was obviously browned. Fortunately, the meat was leaner and less fat.

Meat is much more expensive than vegetables, so he went into the kitchen with a horse spoon, poured the sliced ​​meat into the bowl and hesitated to take it out.

Shen Xuanqing came to serve the dishes and saw that he was uneasy, and he knew what was going on when he saw the bowl of dry and charred meat on the chopping board.

"You can eat it if it's not black, and it's not fried." Shen Xuanqing said, in order to confirm what he said, he also squeezed the meat on the edge and tasted it, but raised his brows slightly and said, "It's fat. It's like the dry pot meat I ate in Brother Yang Xian's tavern before, it's fat but not greasy and fragrant."

Lu Gu's stir-fried vegetables and meat are all made by Ji Qiuyue and Wei Lanxiang, like those dishes eaten in taverns, they rarely cook in the countryside.

After serving it on the table, other people glanced at it and thought it was burning, but Wei Lanxiang didn't say anything. She had cooked a few times in the past few years. Shen Yaoqing remembered it so much, and sometimes joked with her. When she thought about the meals that she cooked black, she was not a harsh person, so she had no words, and she could eat it without frying it.

Who knew that it would be good to try it. Even Ji Qiuyue, who didn't want to eat fatty meat, ate several slices. She was pregnant for more than a month. The meat I bought was lean.

Seeing that everyone said it was delicious, Lu Gu was relieved. Even if someone sandwiched the black charred meat, he didn't say anything.

The sky was getting darker, the snow was getting heavier, the snowflakes were like goose feathers, and the white-haired wind was blowing.

After eating, I couldn’t go out, and there was nothing else to do. The whole family was cooking a brazier in the main room. The door of the main room was half-closed, leaving a small gap to see the heavy snow outside.

Five mu of dry land has been bought, and winter wheat has already been planted. That’s how they sell the land here. Boss Lu wants to sell the land himself, not others. to buy.

The market price of good dry land per mu fluctuates around 5 taels, and the high price is not more than 5 taels. This is already the best price. If the other party is in a hurry, they will sell it.

Because there are wheat seedlings in the field, the wheat can be harvested in May next year. When Shen Shunfu had an accident, he bought two medicinal herbs from Boss Lu, and Boss Lu sold him at a low price, so he earned a lot of money to go into the mountains to collect herbs. The hard-earned money, so today Shen Xuanqing did not press down a copper coin. As for Dian Duan, he couldn't buy land without planting it for two years and then sell it back.

After the spring, Shen Xuanqing was going to go into the mountains. It would be better if he was at home for the spring ploughing, weeding and watering, but if he was not at home, Shen Yaoqing could only go.

The family discussed and decided that the five acres of wheat that Shen Xuanqing had planted would be enough to eat for a year before selling it, while the rest of the family was usually taken care of by Shen Yaoqing, and the money was sold to him. There is no need to keep the wheat from the dry land, it can be sold all.

Living together, there is nothing to lose or lose. Today, the rice and noodles they eat are all grown by Shen Yaoqing, and they will sell the money when they have enough food for six people. In the future, Shen Xuanqing will have to take care of the land. Complement each other is better.

It was snowing outside, the firewood in the brazier was burning and crackling softly, and the fire reflected on the faces of a circle of people. After eating, the body was hot, and the clothes were thick, full and warm.

After chatting for a while, the main room door was blown open by a gust of wind, and the snow foam splashed and blew coldly on the body.

Shen Yaoqing, who was closest to the door, hurried to close the door, and Wei Lanxiang said, "Sit on the bed when it's cold. As soon as the door is closed, Mrs. Tang is warm. I've been sitting here for a long time and my legs and feet are cold."

The firewood in the brazier was almost burnt, Shen Xuanqing wanted to add a few more, but after hearing the words, he didn't do anything, and went back to their rooms.

The windows at home were all paper-paste, and before winter, Shen Yaoqing was thick again, and some light could come in.

Listening to the wind outside, Lu Gu sat on the bed and covered his legs and feet with a quilt. He was still covering the hot mother Tang, and it wasn't cold at all.

When he had nothing to do, he brought the small kang table up and put a sewing basket for easy access, so as not to be overturned.

Shen Xuanqing came in from outside with a bowl in his hand. He ran to Wei Lan Xiang's room to grab red dates and dried persimmons, and he came over and put the bowl on the kang table.

Lu Gu was holding the embroidery and embroidering. He sat beside him and watched, and sometimes whispered a few words. Seeing that Lu Gu was doing embroidery with his eyes down, his face was lustrous and smooth, he couldn't hold back, he rubbed over to steal a fragrance and kissed him. Still a little reluctant, he kissed the husband several times on the face, even if Lu Gu wanted to hide, he didn't dodge.

When he kissed, he was bold, but he felt embarrassed after the kiss, but the smile on his face never diminished.

When it was time to eat in the afternoon, it was windy and snowy outside, but the house was very happy. The family sat around the medicine stove. Simmer with fire.

The bone sticks were stewed in a large pot for more than half an hour, using big firewood, the stew was so soft that it became soft, and even chopsticks were not used. Everyone could hold it in their hands and sprinkle a little salt on the meat to eat. The meat was soft and rotten, almost It came down in one sip in the mouth, without any teething, and the bones stewed to this extent can be eaten very cleanly.

The puppy kept barking when he smelled the smell of meat. Shen Xuanqing was always good to his dogs. He picked up the big bones with meat and threw four of them. The puppy stopped barking immediately when he had bones and meat.

Wei Lanxiang saw that even if the big bones were cheap, she was a little reluctant, but when she saw the second child's indifferent look, she knew that she couldn't say it, and when she saw that the bones were bitten by dogs, she had to give up.

It was the first time that Lu Gu had eaten meat and bones like this. He only felt that the aroma was incredible. The meat was rich in aroma. The meat on the bones was different from others. Pick and choose, because it is too soft and rotten, it will be poked off, and it will not be wasted at all.

The white brittle bones are even more different when they bite. At the end of the meal, Shen Xuanqing took the big bone stick to the kitchen and smashed it. Everyone sucked the bone marrow.
