MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 202
When the noon is warm, the family members wash their hair, take a shower in the room, Lu Gu chops firewood and boils water, and Ji Qiuyue takes care of the two children, everyone is busy.
When the smoke from the firewood above the stove stopped rising, Shen Xuanqing and the four were sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, so that they could dry their hair as soon as possible.
"Don't say it, it seems to have lost two pounds after washing, and it's refreshing and cool." Wei Lanxiang brushed her wet hair and said while combing.
"So is the hair." Shen Yan also smiled. She changed into clean clothes and felt that her hair was draped behind her and wet her back, so she stretched out her hand and tucked her long hair in front of her, tilted her head sideways, picked it up and put it on the back of the chair The towel was wiped again.
Lu Gu has some free time now, and sits in the shade of the eaves with Ling Geer in his arms. The sun is a little hot in the noon, and sometimes the children can't open their eyes when sitting under the sun.
"The hair has grown." He looked at Shen Xuanqing who was sitting in the sun in front of him and said.
"Well, it's long." Shen Xuanqing grabbed the wet hair and lowered his eyes to look at it, got up and went to the sewing basket on the table in the main room, pulled out the scissors, came out and sat down, took the scissors to take care of his hair, and cut it short. .
The hair cannot be easily cut and shaved, but it is feasible to take care of it, in case it is too long and difficult to take care of. The villagers cut it by themselves. The men usually have their hair twisted in cloth, but they cannot be seen even if they are not well cut.
"Have you cut it?" Shen Yaoqing asked, and then reached out for scissors.
Shen Xuanqing handed the scissors to him, and after drying for a while, his hair was dry and translucent and became lighter. After taking a shower, he was clean and light from head to toe. He combed his hair and wrapped it around his hair. So he took the chair back and sat beside Lu Gu.
"Come on, daddy hug." He took Brother Xiaoling, originally wanting to kiss the fleshy faces of his two sons, but thinking that he didn't have time to shave these few days, he gave up and just picked up his son and coaxed him to play.
Brother Xiaoling laughed as soon as he was lifted up, looking extremely happy.
Zhao'er originally dragged the wooden rake around the courtyard, but when she heard her brother laughing, she lost the wooden rake in her hand and walked over, standing in front of Shen Xuanqing with her arms stretched out and shouting, "Hold, hold."
Without waiting for Shen Xuanqing to speak, Shen Yaoqing was wrapping her hair at the moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Come on, daddy hug you, don't always fight with your brother, be careful."
Zhao Er walked up to her own father, and giggled when she was lifted above her head.
Shen Xuanqing has been staying in the town recently. Before coming back, he stayed at home at most for one night. He came back for a few days like this. He missed Lu Gu and the children. He was busy the other two days. He didn't let go, he hadn't coaxed his son like that for a long time.
To say that in the butcher shop in the town, it is really busy when you are busy, and there is not much to do when you are free. You wipe the table, sweep the yard, and then sharpen the knife. When he is free, Mr. Yan will come to wash his clothes for him. But there are also various chores in the house of the master and the wife. If he is not good, he always asks Mr. Yan to wash him, and washes it casually with a basin of water.
He is used to living in the country, where everything is spacious and the butcher shop is small. He doesn’t dislike the boundaries, but sometimes he feels short and narrow everywhere. , No one said anything or did any work, so I felt a little uncomfortable. In order to pass the time, all the knives in the shop were sharpened by him.
When he came back and ate his husband's meal with his son, he made the thought in his heart become stronger and stronger, and wanted to take Lu Gu and Linger to Jixing Town.
This idea has been going on for a long time, but there is only one room in the shop, the backyard is small, the drying bed and clothes are not spacious, and even the stove is just a simple grass shed. It is definitely not as convenient as living in it.
No matter what their house is, the house is spacious, not to mention that Lu Gu and the children have been wronged in the past.
Ling Ge'er smiled, revealing the little white deciduous teeth, and the big eyes crooked with a smile, which was really distressing. Shen Xuanqing couldn't hold back and kissed the child gently on the cheek.
"Okay, daddy's arm is sore." Shen Yaoqing put down her chubby son and pinched Zhao'er's fleshy cheek with a smile.
Ji Qiuyue saw him pinching and pinching, she raised her hand and hit it, scolded with glaring eyes: "The saliva bag should be crushed, and I will drool in the future. I think you are worthy of your son."
People here often say that children's saliva bags can't be squeezed, and they will drool when they grow up.
Shen Yaoqing received a heavy blow on the back of his hand, smirked and retracted his hand, not daring to squeeze any more.
The family rested until half an afternoon. Shen Xuanqing, Shen Yaoqing, and Wei Lanxiang went to the big house to feed the livestock. Before planting the rice, they turned the fields and ploughed the calf with great effort. These days, they let it rest and eat and drink.
Shen Yan drove the duck and the big geese to swim in the river, and Zhao'er wanted to follow him, so Ji Qiuyue took him with him and accompanied the little sister-in-law.
After Linger ate the milk fruit, Lu Gu saw him rubbing his eyes and knew he was sleepy, so he took the child into the house to pat him. Linger just fell asleep. Not seeing him in the courtyard, he went straight to the house.
Lu Gu closed the door and came out with the good boy. He lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Are you greedy?"
With that said, he probed into the courtyard to see that he was the only one in his hometown, so he went to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of peeled peanuts for the good boy.
The good boy was brought up by him. When he was a puppy, he went into the mountains with him and Shen Xuanqing. He carried it on his back wherever he went. Naturally, he would be more biased. He would eat a dozen peanut beans every five or six days to satisfy his cravings. Occasionally After a long time, I forgot that the good boy would secretly bite his pants when no one was there and drag him to the low house where the peanuts were kept, as if he was clever.
The dogs at home eat well. Seeing the good boy lowered his head to eat peanuts, Lu Gu couldn't help rubbing the dog's head. The fur was smooth and smooth, and the ears were soft, as easy to pinch as before.
It was already afternoon, he was playing with the dog for a while, Shen Xuanqing was at home, and he didn't need his help in the big house, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and went to the front yard vegetable field to pull a spring vegetable. I had an early lunch this afternoon, and I was definitely hungry too early. Prepare meals ahead of time.
The spring ploughing was over, and the family members were relieved. They went to bed at night and slept better than usual.
Brother Ling slept for less than a quarter of an hour in the afternoon, and there was not much noise at night. After blowing out the candle, Shen Xuanqing lay down and fell asleep. Lu Gu still slept beside him, and the child was at the innermost.
"I'll discuss something with you." He said in a low voice, smelling the scent of the balm on Lu Gu's face, he couldn't help but leaned in and kissed, and then said seriously: "There are still several hundred taels in hand, take A few dozen taels are enough to buy a small house in the town, and I want to take you and Brother Ling to live there."
Lu Gu was stunned, going to live in the town?
"Let's live together." Shen Xuanqing said again, with an uncontrollable smile in his voice.
"The family still has a lot of work to do." Lu Gu hesitated.
Shen Xuanqing said with a smile: "At home, you take your children to cook and do laundry, and you are not allowed to do other work, such as when the harvest is busy in spring and autumn, we can just come back again."
"Besides, I don't have to worry about my wife when I go there to eat and do laundry. She is old and has poor legs and feet. She still thinks that I am alone in the shop and there is no one to take care of the laundry. You don't have to worry about it when you go there."
"It's fine when you're busy selling meat. Once the busyness is over, I have nothing to do over there. When you cook, I'll guard the shop and hold the child, so you won't be too tired."
When he moved to the town, Lu Gu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was used to living in the country, and he was familiar with the people in the village in recent years, but after hearing Shen Xuanqing's words, he felt as if it was time to go.
"Now that Brother Ling is older, he is quite good in the mule cart. We didn't say that before. Brother Ling will study in the future. Isn't that what he opened the shop for? What does it have to do with living in the town two years earlier."
In order to bring the husband and the child over, Shen Xuanqing said a lot to persuade him for a while.
Lu Gu didn't have many ideas. In fact, for him, whether it was at home or going to Jixing Town with Shen Xuanqing, he was convinced after a few words, and only asked, "Then you, mother, and elder brother. Did you say it?"
"Not yet, wait until tomorrow morning, don't be in a hurry to buy a house, find a good one and move it there, the shop can't be opened, and the worst house has to have a yard. Just eat." Shen Xuanqing said in a low voice.
There are many kinds of houses in the town, some are small and some are big, he knows a little. Although there are not many houses in Lao Yangtou's house, it has a front and back yard. He wanted to buy a house like this when he tied the animals for firewood, at least it was more spacious and not cramped and crowded.
"Yeah." Lu Gu listened to him carefully, and the anxiety gradually faded away. Thinking that living in the town would be able to see their Erqing every day, even his brows and eyes had a bit of a smile.
The next morning, before the sun came out, Shen Xuanqing woke up. He was going to Jixing Town today, and he had to pull a dozen or twenty rabbits there.
The matter of taking Lu Gu and the children to the town was said to be discussed with Wei Lanxiang, but in fact, he had decided on his own.
"Going to town?" Wei Lanxiang helped to load the rabbit cage onto the trolley, and suddenly heard what the second son said, lowered his head and thought about it, the second boy only came back to stay for two or three nights a month now, so he will stay there more , No one cooks and makes the bed, and it is not very good to eat at his master's house.
So she sighed softly and said, "That's the reason, if Guzi is watching you, I'm relieved, even Brother Ling is going too?"
Shen Xuanqing originally thought that she had to say a few more words, but she didn't expect her to nod her head and said with a smile: "Go, go with Gu Zi, I can help hug when I'm not busy."
Wei Lanxiang was a little reluctant to part with her little grandson. She sometimes went out to visit, and she was used to holding one in her arms and holding the other in her arms. Suddenly, there was a little baby crying in her ear, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her reluctance, Shen Xuanqing said with a smile, "I don't have a mule cart at home, if you miss Linger, let the elder brother drive you over there, or I'll see you."
"That's true." Wei Lanxiang suddenly felt relieved, she just felt that Jixing Town was too far away, and she didn't even think about the mule cart. Now it's not like it used to be, there are carts everywhere, no need to walk, it's convenient.
As for Shen Yaoqing, if it was him, he would also like Ji Qiuyue and Zhao'er together, and would not stop him.
After the mule cart was ready, at the door of the house, Shen Xuanqing greeted the family and drove the mule forward.
Wei Lanxiang watched him go away, and suddenly remembered that the second son said that he wanted to buy a house in the town, but he didn't know if he had any money in his hand. Then he thought about it, Shen Xuanqing was always prudent, and if he had no money in his hand, he wouldn't mention the house at all. If you don't care about things, just settle down and stop worrying about it, young people have their own ideas.
