MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 184
Coaxing the children to play at home is undoubtedly a joy for Shen Xuanqing. After shaving his beard, he kissed their little brother, and he really stopped crying. Unfortunately, he didn't realize it before and didn't dare to hold the child for several days. , Now I finally know what's going on, but I have to go up the mountain.
It was just dawn when he left, and the child hadn't woken up, so he had to leave reluctantly. Lu Gu stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched him and the dog go up the mountain. After walking away, the figure was gradually blocked by the trees, and then he turned to go home.
The water in the kitchen was already boiled and the pancakes were hot. Shen Xuanqing left after they had eaten.
Seeing Wei Lanxiang come out, Lu Gu said, "Mother, the water is boiling, I'll scoop it up for you."
"Okay, the second child is gone?" Wei Lanxiang asked.
He took the wooden basin in Wei Lanxiang's hand and nodded, "Let's go."
"Sure, you don't have to go there to see Brother Ling at home, there are me and your eldest brother." Wei Lanxiang followed him into the kitchen, and placed a bowl of sour cress and pancakes that Lu Gu had just cut on the chopping board. Just eat it just fine.
Because Shen Yaoqing slept in the big mansion to watch the house, Ji Qiuyue and Zhaoer were also there these few days and nights. When they woke up early, they mostly used clay stoves and earthenware pots to heat some hot water. It took too much firewood to move the cauldron. People went up the mountain to chop and pick them up, so the breakfast food was prepared together in their hometown, and then brought to the two of them.
Wei Lanxiang was washing in the courtyard, and Lu Gu took two milk nuts from a bamboo basket, washed them with warm water and dried them. Lingjun woke up to eat later. Shen Xuanqing was used to staying at home for the past two months. No one was hanging around in front of him this morning, so he was still a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, now that there is Lingjun, he does not need to do anything else at home beforehand, the most important thing is to take care of the children. The child is too young, there is milk fruit to eat, and Eminem, who is familiar with him, hugs him. After eating milk fruit, he smiles big, and he doesn't even realize that Dad is not there.
And Lu Gu managed that the child was busy, so he couldn't think about Shen Xuanqing any longer.
The autumn sun was shining brightly. Today, it was easy to take advantage of Lingge’er to sleep. Shen Yan was doing needlework in his hometown, and Lu Gu had time to go out and walk around. He went to the big house to see the livestock, and played with Zhao’er on the way.
He carried the chubby Zhao'er to the lamb in the backyard and asked Zhao'er with a smile, "Where is the lamb?"
Zhaoer stretched out a finger to point to the lambs in the sheepfold. Except for the four black hooves, the lambs with clean and soft white wool could not understand what people were saying, but whenever people stood outside talking, they raised their heads. Looking at it, after each person's voice fell, it would make a "baa" one or two times, long and short, as if answering. The sheepfold was originally built, and sometimes it would run over when people approached, far more than the big sheep. Cheerful.
The lamb baa is cute, but Lu Gu is full of smiles, waiting for Zhaoer to learn from the lamb.
"Bah."
Sure enough, after the chubby baby heard the lamb cry, he learned to cry in a milky voice.
"Oh, our Zhao'er is really smart." Lu Gu was amused and smiled, the more he looked at Zhao'er, the happier he became, he picked up the child and kissed several times on the fleshy cheek.
Wei Lanxiang went outside to herd cows and ducks. The sun was good today, it wasn't late autumn or early winter yet, and the sparse vegetation had not withered.
Lu Gu watched the lamb with the child in his arms, and then went to the pigsty. Zhao'er was only over a year old, but her intelligence was not small. She was still learning how to call pigs in the past two days, and she was quite similar.
He frowned, and after teasing and playing for a while, he walked forward with Zhao'er in his arms.
In the empty field in front of him, Ji Qiuyue took the hay that he was turning over and drying with a wooden fork. This was a cart that Brother Dong and his in-laws had cut back this morning. When Lu Gu came over, he also met Brother Dong and said a couple of gossips. He Zhi had been working hard up and down the dock recently, carrying logs, but the three of them were at home.
The old scooter is not here now. It was Brother Dong and the three of them who pulled out to mow the grass again. In the autumn, the weeds gradually withered, and there were not so many. Take advantage of the extra money to earn, it will be gone in a few days. Mow the grass, pay off the last paycheck, and don't have to hire them again in winter.
Ji Qiuyue flipped through the grass and said, "The sun has been good these days. When I go back, I will turn out Zhao'er's last year's winter clothes and wash them. His little brothers were born one after the other. It's new, it's just right for Brother Ling, two more for washing."
For a countryman, clothes that have only been worn for a year or two are not new.
"Okay." Lu Gu was holding the baby next to him. Zhao'er was small, but chubby. After holding it for a long time, it was quite heavy. He often hugged Xiao Lingjun. Naturally, the milk baby in her early two months was not as heavy as Zhao'er. So he changed his posture.
Shen Yaoqing was chopping firewood ahead, and after Ji Qiuyue had turned the hay, he handed Zhao'er over and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law changed hands."
The son was heavy, Ji Qiuyue didn't know where she was, she laughed so hard she couldn't help but took Zhao'er and said, "Are you going back now? I'll be with you."
Lu Gu was worried about Lingjun, although Shen Yan was watching, but if he woke up, Shen Yan might not be able to coax him, so it would be better to go back early.
Xiao Huang followed the two of them back to their hometown. He and Huang'er were both a year old. They were no longer the original puppy. They looked like a big dog. Because they grew up eating well, they could often eat meat and chew bones. They looked better than the villagers. The other yellow dogs are bigger, and the housekeepers are very loyal.
Before he got home, Lu Gu didn't hear the child crying, so he was relieved. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shen Yan sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun.
Xiao Huang wagged his tail and circled her twice. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she bit off the embroidery thread. She looked up and said with a smile, "I just went to see it. I haven't woken up yet. I'm sleeping soundly."
Having said that, Lu Gu went into the room to take a look, and then opened the box with Ji Qiuyue to find Zhao'er's winter clothes last year.
There is nothing else to do at this time. Since we have to do laundry, it will be early winter in half a month, so we can just turn out all the thick winter clothes of the whole family. The three of them will definitely start faster together. Dry and clean when worn.
Lu Gu was boiling water in the kitchen. It was cold, and it was really hard to go to the river to pound clothes. Shen Yan was a girl who had not left the cabinet, so it was not good to soak too much cold water.
A big pot of water just boiled, and the little Lingjun in the room woke up and cried, so he had no choice but to hold the child. Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yan were scooping water to wash clothes, so he took Zhaoer in and let him sit on the bed and play.
The days at home were not too turbulent. Sometimes the two children could not be coaxed when they cried together, causing headaches for the whole family, but there were still a lot of joy and happiness. Sometimes I met Zhou Yunzhi and saw that her nose was not a nose or an eye. Even Wei Lanxiang was too lazy to take care of her.
The last time Zhou Yunzhi was in front of Ji Qiuyue, she didn't care too much, but when she was chatting with the woman and husband in the village, she said it directly. Knowing that Zhou Yunzhi was not at ease.
Zhou Yunzhi and Shen Shunde are two people who dislike the poor and love the rich. Few people in the village do not know that when the second family of the Shen family was down and out, when they met the big family of the Shen family on the road, Wei Lanxiang joked with them in front of the villagers, and the two of them had no eyes. She was taking care of people, let alone dealing with the Erfang family. When she said that Zhou Yunzhi was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek, she hoped that other people's families were not good, and when they heard it, they would naturally believe it.
Qingxi Village is just that big, so it's still very powerful to chew on your tongue and say some gossip. At least Zhou Yunzhi has settled down for a while, and maybe it's because he was upset with Ji Qiuyue last time, so he doesn't go to Erfang's house anymore.
If she didn't come to mess with right and wrong, the second housekeeper of the Shen family could not wait, so it was just right to avoid any trouble.
The days were generally smooth, and the plain-headed people in the countryside, where would there be so many treacherous ups and downs, but they were all trivial chores for small families.
The rain was dripping, the mountains and forests withered, the leaves were missing, and even the sky seemed to turn yellow when it rained.
It has been ten days since Shen Xuanqing went up the mountain. Knowing that he would stay for a long time to fight the fox, Lu Gu was still worried.
It rained in the middle of the night last night, and it never stopped. The rain was icy cold, and the wind blew and it became even colder. He put on extra clothes for Lingjun. Today, he never took the child out of the room. The child is too young. Being cold is no small thing.
Zhao'er didn't go out either, Ji Qiuyue carried him to Lu Gu's room, and the two adults played with the child.
Xiao Lingjun didn't sleep after eating the milk fruit. Lu Gu leaned on the bed and hugged the child. The doll grew up fast, but Lingjun was a little heavier. , but lay on Ji Qiuyue's leg and stretched out her hand to reach it.
Seeing him whimpering, looking like he wanted to eat, he had already had milk just now, and his stomach was bulging when he touched it, Ji Qiuyue brought the empty milk fruit: "Here to you."
Zhao'er had eaten milk fruit and knew how to bite the head, so she lay down on the bed with the fruit in her mouth, causing both Ji Qiuyue and Lu Gu to laugh out loud.
"It's smart. I'll find a comfortable place to cuddle myself, and don't be a slacker in the future." Ji Qiuyue said with a smile, she knew that Zhao'er was not hungry, and she was playing with a milk fruit, as long as she didn't cry and make a fuss Just go out.
Xiao Lingjun heard the adults' laughter. He opened his **** eyes and laughed, his mouth was still babbling, he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh, it's called Auntie, isn't it?" The son and Shuang'er are different. Ji Qiuyue's voice was a little softer, coaxing Brother Xiaoling to play.
It rained for three days in a row, and wherever I went, it was muddy, and the soles of my shoes were always covered in wet mud.
Lu Gu counted the days, and as time went on, he would go to listen to the barking of dogs from the mountain when he didn't look at the gate of the courtyard.
Until this afternoon, the ground was a little dry and there was not much mud anymore. He was changing the diaper for the child when he suddenly heard a few barks in the distance. He heard that it was on the other side of the mountain, not the village, and the angry dog barked again. When it sounded, he heard that they were good boys, and he smiled all of a sudden.
Xiao Lingjun was lying on the bed and kicking his legs, whispering in his mouth. He was very immature. He quickly put a diaper on the child, wrapped it in a swaddle, and took it out.
Because he had a child in his arms, he stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked around, but did not meet him. There was still some wet mud on the hillside in the distance.
The dog barked again, and after a while, he saw something rushing down from the mountains and forests, running very fast. When the good boy ran back first, Lu Gu became more and more happy and shouted: "Good boy!"
After rushing on the mountain road for so long, the good boy was dirty and his hair was wet at first sight.
Da Hui and Da Hei, who ran back from behind, were equally excited, and kept wagging their tails around him.
The family went to the big house to feed the livestock. At this time, he and Xiao Lingjun were the only ones in the hometown. After waiting for a while, they saw the figure in the woods from a distance, and Lu Gu couldn't help shouting: "Two! green!"
"Don't come here, it's wet and slippery." Shen Xuanqing shouted over there.
Lu Gu stopped when he wanted to take two steps, and waited in place with joy in his heart.
