When the sky became overcast, there was also a wind, which made the door shake and bumped against the wall. Shen Yan pushed the stone blocking the door with his feet, and the door was trapped between the stone and the wall, and there was no sound anymore.

Lu Gu is checking the things in the shop, there is only one rabbit left, and there are three chickens and ducks in the cage. It has become warmer recently, and the hens and ducks have started to lay eggs one after another, but there are not many saved. The egg basket is sold out today. .

In the end, he raised his head and said to Shen Yan: "It's just a few things. I think it's going to rain later, so let's close the door and go home. There is only one teal left. Go back and kill it, and stew it in duck soup." , Didn’t you say that the old duck noodle soup is delicious, so let’s make one by ourselves.”

A gust of wind blew the dirt and dust from outside into the shop, blinding his eyes all of a sudden, Shen Yan hurriedly turned his back and rubbed his eyes.

After her eyes were relieved, she said, "Okay, I don't think we'll be able to sell a few of them in this short period of time. It won't be too late to open the door when Brother Daqing brings the rabbit back from home tomorrow."

Because there were not many rabbits, chickens and ducks left, Shen Yaoqing drove the mule cart back to his hometown early this morning, Lu Gu and Shen Yan looked at the shop, and he will come over tomorrow.

They ate old duck noodle soup at the noodle shop next door before. Shen Yan ordered a bowl and thought it was good after eating it.

The rest of the rabbits, chickens and ducks were all alive, and there was nothing on the wooden shelves and meat table, so they were packed quickly.

The two brought back the long table in front of the door and put it against the wall. Shen Yan went to the back to extinguish the fire in the bottom of the stove and the clay oven, took a broom to sweep the floor, and cleaned it up. It will be easy to come back tomorrow.

Lu Gu cleaned up in the front, the shop was full of people, and the chickens, ducks and rabbits had to be taken back. Fortunately, there were not many left, and they could go home with the bamboo cage later.

He was burying his head in wiping his knives and chopping boards. The wind was getting stronger outside. Pedestrians ran forward with their heads down, and ox carts passed by the door, and the hooves of animals rattled.

Brother Ling rubbed his eyes and shouted, "Ah Mu, my eyes hurt."

The child's weak voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, and he quickly put down what he was doing, squatted down and opened Brother Ling's eyes to look, but a little sand had blinded his eyes, and the child didn't know what to say, but said his eyes hurt.

"It's okay, it's okay, Eminem closes half the door, and you won't be afraid of the wind blowing when you stand behind the door."

After he finished speaking, he got up to close the door. He never thought that someone would rein in his horse and stop in front of the shop. He had heard movement just now and thought it was a passerby.

The boy let out a low growl and barked twice. Dogs have the habit of guarding the house. Even if there are many people in the shop who come to buy meat, it will bark twice as a warning, but after the people dismounted at the door, it stopped suddenly. Stopped, ran to Shen Xuanqing's legs and whimpered.

As soon as Lu Gu raised his eyes, he stood there and couldn't move anymore.

Shen Xuanqing stood at the door, tall and tall, holding the whip in his hand, he was a little at a loss, he opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then shouted with a sob: "Guzi."

The person in front of him was visibly thinner, his green stubble hadn't been shaved, there were a few scars on his face that hadn't fully healed, his eyes were tired, and tears gradually appeared in those star pupils.

After hearing his name again, Lu Gu realizes that this is not a dream.

It is really Shen Xuanqing who is back.

As soon as he lifted his foot, he was hugged by a person who strode forward.

Tears that had been endured for six months burst out in an instant, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, being held tightly in Shen Xuanqing's arms, all he could do was cry.

The clothes on Shen Xuanqing's chest were quickly wet, and he was also crying.

The two hugged and cried for a while, accompanied by the whining of the boy, wagging their tails and turning around the two of them.

The child stood beside him at a loss, his eyes were big and round, and his expression was obviously puzzled. Brother Ling was a little afraid of this person who appeared suddenly. He was a small ball, and he usually felt tall when he looked at Lu Gu and Shen Yan. Fear is inevitable at this moment.

"Second brother?"

Shen Yan was originally sweeping the floor in the backyard, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed someone approaching the door of the shop, and when she looked up, she looked a bit like Shen Xuanqing. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could put down the broom in her hand, she ran forward at once.

Hearing the voice, Lu Gu pushed Shen Xuanqing away, only then did he think of the child.

"Brother Ling, come on, this is Father, why, don't you recognize me?" He called Ling Jun over.

Brother Ling hesitated, followed his words and looked up at the stranger at the door.

"Come on, daddy." Shen Xuanqing said, and took a step forward, wanting to hug her son.

Unexpectedly, Brother Ling ran behind Lu Gu all of a sudden, hid himself without even daring to look at him, and whispered fearfully, "Ah Mu."

A child in his early two years old is not very good at remembering people. Shen Xuanqing has been away for six months, which is too long. In the first two months after he left, Lu Gu talked to the child about Dad almost every day. , there is some escape.

"Em is here, don't be afraid, this is Dad, didn't I tell you?" Lu Gu coaxed the child, and said: "Daddy is back, he wants to hug you, not someone else."

The child was timid and didn't remember him anymore. Shen Xuanqing felt sore, but she didn't force Brother Ling to come out.

He looked at Shen Yan, saw that his sister had lost weight, and felt even more uncomfortable, and asked, "How are you and mother?"

Shen Yan wiped away tears, nodded and smiled, "It's fine."

After she finished speaking, tears fell again, and she raised her hand to wipe it with the back of her hand, and she couldn't say anything else.

Lu Gu was still coaxing Brother Ling, but the child grabbed his pants and hid behind him, but he dared not come out. He thought for a while and said, "You don't want to eat sugar, let Dad buy it for you, okay?"

The villain behind him poked his head out and looked towards the other side timidly.

Shen Xuanqing rubbed the boy's head, and took the opportunity to say: "Let's go, Dad will buy it for you."

Brother Ling looked up at Lu Gu before walking over.

"Then, I'll take him to buy it first." Shen Xuanqing held his son's little hand, feeling a little better, and he said to go to see Lu Gu.

"Go, Yanyan and I are packing up and closing the door, come back quickly." Lu Gu nodded, since he said he wanted to buy it, if he didn't buy it, Brother Ling would definitely cry.

Shen Xuanqing tied the horse to the door, picked up the child and walked to the sugar seller's place. He had long legs and walked fast. It might rain later, and the sugar seller might close the stall.

Guaizi didn't see him for several months, so he also ran out.

Lu Gu wiped away his tears, turned his head and smiled, and said, "Hurry up and pack it up, go home and make duck noodle soup. There are still a few eggs at home, and I fried them for him too."

"Yeah." Shen Yan took the broom and walked to the backyard again. If the chicken, duck and rabbit fur were not swept away, the wind blows today, and then the yard will be full.

The two of them are fast, and there is not much to clean up in the shop itself, so they have to come here every day.

After cleaning up, Shen Xuanqing and Brother Ling hadn't come back yet, and the sugar seller was far away, so they were waiting at the door.

The big bay red horse in front of the door snorted. The horse was tall and tall, and when they were looking at it, they still looked at it.

Because it was a raw horse, Lu Gu did not dare to approach it hastily.

"It's really high." Shen Yan sighed.

"Your second brother is tall, so don't get a tall one." Lu Gu said with a smile, his eye circles were still red, but after crying, the burst of strength has passed, and he is very happy now, with a smile on his face It never stopped.

"You wait, I'll go next door to buy some stewed pork, and there is a small jar of wine at home." Before he finished speaking, he walked to the noodle restaurant next door.

Mrs. Zhao in the noodle shop knows how to braise meat, and selling it to neighbors is cheaper than outsiders. The taste is not as good as that of the braised meat shop, but it's not bad, and it's still so close.

"Auntie, do you still have the stewed pork? Do you still have the pig's ears?" He asked several times as soon as he entered the door.

Mrs. Zhao was busy at first, but when she heard this, she quickly agreed to say yes.

He bought a lot, and when he took the oil-paper package, Mrs. Zhao asked casually, "Is anyone here?"

"Well, Er Qing is back, get him something good to eat." Lu Gu smiled, he was in a hurry to go home, and he didn't stay long after speaking.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, wanting to ask a few more questions, but saw that he had already left the house.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao heard movement outside, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Xuanqing walking past the door of the restaurant with Brother Ling in her arms.

Shen Xuanqing bought three big sugar figurines for Brother Ling. The child's hands are small and he can't hold them with one hand, so he clenches them with both hands.

"Is it sweet?" He put down the child and squatted down himself.

Brother Ling licked the candy man and said with a smile, "Sweet."

Little Naiyin heard him smile, and touched the child's head before getting up.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Okay." Lu Gu and Shen Yan brought out the three cages, and then handed the ledger to Shen Yan, told them to take it, and went back to keep the books. He turned and locked the door, and waited for Shen Xuanqing to hang the cages on both sides of the horse. , the three walked back together.

Shen Xuanqing led the horse. He wanted Brother Ling to sit on it, but the child was afraid and was too busy eating sugar, so he gave up.

Lu Gu handed him the oiled paper wrap in his hand, and picked up Brother Ling himself.

"Big brother isn't here?" Shen Xuanqing asked.

"I went home to fetch the rabbits, and I'll be here tomorrow morning." With a smile on his face, Lu Gu couldn't help asking, "Where did you go? Big brother entrusted many people to look for it, no matter what. No, the cavalry..."

Many people died in the cavalry.

What Lu Gu said later was a little hard to say.

Shen Xuanqing sighed softly and said, "I'll talk about these when I go back."

"En." Lu Gu nodded, and asked again: "Where's the sign?"

Luo Biao lived in their house for a long time, and he was very kind to the children. When he dried Shen Xuanqing's quilt and washed clothes, he would also take out Luo Biao's clothes to wash and dry them in the sun.

Shen Xuanqing said: "He won't be back until tomorrow, and he's at the back. I miss you all, so I'll be back first."

So it was like this, Lu Gu breathed a sigh of relief, afraid of hearing something bad.

Before reaching the entrance of Pearl Alley, raindrops fell, and the three of them ran towards the house. When the boy saw them running, he barked excitedly. His four legs ran much faster than humans, and he rushed into the alley in the blink of an eye. Standing at the entrance of the alley and barking, it seemed to make them hurry up.

Although the raindrops were heavy, Lu Gu kept smiling and didn't feel the rain was cold at all.

The horse trotted along with the people, the chickens and ducks in the bumped cage cooed, ran away in the rain, even Shen Yan and Shen Xuanqing laughed.

Among the people in the rain on the street, they are the only ones who keep laughing.
