The Sweet Little Fulang

In the evening, when we were having dinner at Yang's tavern, Lao Yang asked his third son Yang Yi to be called in. Originally, he wanted his wife and children together, but Yang Yi's daughter-in-law had been ill these two days, and she had already taken the medicine and fell asleep. Just brought the baby over.

Yang Yishu reads well and is a scholar. Now he is teaching in the academy in Jixing Town. He and Yang Xian brothers both practiced boxing and kicking with Lao Yangtou when they were young. He is also a man from the countryside, so even if he is wearing a green shirt, he is easy-going. He is easy-going, and his words are a bit refined, but he doesn't seem to be as weak as some teachers.

Old Yangtou's second child is a girl, and he also sent someone to call. Yang Yujun married a butcher who sells meat in Jixing Town, and his life is good. When Yang Yi came from the west of the town, he met Yang Yujun and the butcher Qian. Come together.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yang are getting older, so people are naturally happy to see them, let alone Shen Xuanqing, a pro-disciple, it is even rarer, so naturally more people are needed to accompany her, especially Mrs. Yan, so that she can show off to others The second boy is so filial.

Shen Xuanqing brought a lot of things. Jixing Town is far away from the mountains, and mountain products are not rare. Give Yang Yi and Yang Yujun some and take them back to taste, especially autumn vegetables. There are so many, they have been dug down. Withered, it is better to divide one point.

They are all the sons and daughters of old Yangtou, and Shen Xuanqing has no objection to giving them to them. He also knows that there are many Yang family members, so he specially brought these here.

The chef cooked a table of special dishes, and the good wine was brought up. Everyone sat around, eating, drinking and laughing, which was extremely lively.

Lu Gu sits next to Shen Xuanqing, he speaks less cautiously, most of the time he just listens to others, Shen Xuanqing picks up a dish for him from time to time, when Yan sees Zhi Le, the second boy will be considerate to his husband.

It was already dark after the lively meal, and a group of people went to Yang Xian's house to sit and chat for a while. After eating wine and meat, they became hot, so they lit lanterns and sat in the courtyard. Ni'er took her younger brother and cousin to have fun in the courtyard Playing, adults are joking.

Yan also took out the cloth that Shen Xuanqing pulled for her from the box to show off to her daughter, look at how good the cloth is, and showed the fur of the hare. There are so many furs, and it costs a lot just to buy them outside. The money was brought to make furs for the old man, and a pair of shoes for her, as well as those chestnuts and hazelnuts, which I brought in baskets for the second and third families to eat.

As the night gradually deepened, Yang Yi and Yang Yujun left with Qiucai carrying a basket. Yang Xian still had work to do in the tavern tomorrow, so Mrs. Zhang took the child to bed first.

Lu Gu was also led by Yan Shi to wash his hands briefly, and he was still soaking his feet in the room to relieve fatigue. Yan Shi didn't care about Shen Xuanqing, and he also didn't care about his husband. He smiled and asked him to rest quickly after wiping his feet, and went out by himself.

After the excitement was over, it felt a bit awkward to be alone in the room, but Lu Gu was indeed tired, so he lay down on the bed first.

Shen Xuanqing was still talking to the old Orion in the yard, because everyone else had fallen asleep, so the master and apprentice were quiet.

Everything in the mountains has gradually faded away for Lao Yangtou. When he is old, he always likes to talk about the old things. When he was young, hunting in the mountains was painful and tiring, but he brought his hounds to hunt and run in the mountains and shoot the prey with his bow. The kind of pleasure is unforgettable.

My two sons both make a living in the town, and it is a pity that no one has learned hunting skills. He was already old when he took Shen Xuanqing in, and he has grown older in the past few years. It is still the same as before, when you go to the mountain, you can tell if there is something haunted at a glance, but after all, you are old, and you are no longer as brave and vigorous as you used to be.

Old Yang was smoking a cigarette, listening to Shen Xuanqing talking about what he had encountered in the mountains and how he caught them. In the dim light, his eyes were nostalgic, as if he had seen everything in the mountains and forests in these words.

In the morning, Lu Gu woke up when he heard the movement outside. Last night, he didn't know how late he was, and Shen Xuanqing came in only after he was in a drowsy sleep.

Ni'er got up, and just got up to see if the uncle and nanny from yesterday were still there, Mrs. Yan yelled outside the door, Lu Gu was already dressed and got out of bed, she turned her head to see Shen Xuanqing sitting by the bed and getting dressed Shoes, quickly opened the door.

Yan Shi was busy going to the kitchen to boil water and heat up food. Nier came in holding Lu Gu's hand. She looked curiously at Shen Xuanqing who stood up, and her eyes gradually moved up, even raising her head. This action made Shen Xuanqing Xuan Qing laughed, and Lu Gu's eyes were also stained with a slight smile.

Ni'er raised her head, she was small and Xuanqing was too tall, maybe she felt tired, so she turned her head and said to Lu Gu: "Little mother, I want to eat hazelnuts, but grandpa didn't get up."

She pulled Lu Gu out, and the bamboo basket was on the table in the main room, so Lu Gu had no choice but to go with her.

One big and one small squatted on the ground and knocked on the hazelnuts. Lu Gu looked at Nier and remembered that Nier called him Xiaomao. He didn't feel anything when he was called. Maybe he just woke up and didn't wake up completely. He suddenly felt that he When you really get married, it's like becoming an adult, and you will be called Xiaomao by children.

Shen Xuanqing poured hot water and called him to wash his face in the courtyard. Lu Gu's thoughts were interrupted. Before he got up, he couldn't help but touched Nier's chubby cheek. Nothing responds.

After staying in Yang's house for a long time, after the afternoon sun was not so hot, Shen Xuanqing went back with Lu Gu.

Yan Shi and Lao Yang sent them out of the alley, and when they were about to send them off, Shen Xuanqing stopped them. The old man and the old lady were old, especially Yan Shi, whose legs and feet were not as sharp as before. The daughter-in-law is busy in the tavern, and there are children to look after.

The empty scooter is easy after all, there is only a large bag of pastries that Yan's went out to buy in the morning, and a few new snacks in the town in the bamboo basket.

Coming out of the alley, we went to Changxing Street, and we had to pass by Yang's Tavern when we went back. Shen Xuanqing stopped at the door after walking for a while, and went in to say goodbye to Yang Xian.

When Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing walked to the oil shop on Changxing Street, smelling the aroma of sesame oil, Shen Xuanqing stopped again and came out without a pottery pot, and the bamboo tube was to hold water for drinking on the road. I bought clay pots together, and kept some at home when I went back, and brought some up the mountain.

It's not that they don't have an oil shop, but since they passed by here and it smells really good, it's better to buy it.

Pedestrians are in a hurry, and they are among them.

Lu Gu followed Shen Xuanqing on the return road, and did not enter the house until the setting sun was shining, and it was dusk.As soon as Wei Lanxiang came back, she made a fuss about serving food for the two of them, and she must be hungry after walking all this way.

Shen Xuanqing took the clay pot into the kitchen, and Wei Lanxiang, who was serving rice, smelled it and said with a smile, "This sesame oil is really fragrant. I'll steam an egg tomorrow. Let's pour some sesame oil on it and try it."

"How is your master and wife?" she asked again.

When the Yan family was still in Qingxi Village in the early years, they had a very good relationship with Wei Lanxiang. Later, Shen Xuanqing became a teacher again. Even if there were occasional bickering and anger, it would be fine within two days. I have to ask after a long time. .

Shen Xuanqing nodded and said yes, and briefly told her about the people and things she saw in the past. When she heard that Nier was chubby and cute, Wei Lanxiang said nothing, but she also wanted to hug her grandson in her heart. granddaughter.

The days are getting better now, not to mention the second child, the eldest daughter-in-law should also have a baby, but this kind of thing can't be rushed even if it is urgent, she can only raise something with the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law in private.

His legs and feet were tired from the journey, and Lu Gu was lying on the bed after washing at night. Speaking of which, he had only been in Shen's house for a few months, and he stayed outside for the night last night. home.

He looked at the top of the bed curtain and thought about something on his mind. For a while, he thought of the word "go home", and for a while it was something else, and it was difficult to fall asleep in a short time.

The lights in the room hadn't been turned off yet, and Shen Xuanqing poured the footwashing water outside and came back.

Lu Guyuan was already lying down, seeing him coming in now, he sat up with his arms propped up, hesitantly looked at the man beside the bed who wanted to blow the lamp.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing didn't turn off the lights, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Gu, who was worried, did not dare to raise his head to face him directly, and lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you going up the mountain tomorrow?"

"Do you want to go up or?" Shen Xuanqing asked him patiently.

"The day after tomorrow is my mother's death day." Lu Gu was a little apprehensive, but he still said, "I want to go and see."

Shen Xuanqing paused, and then said: "Then wait until you go to the grave, and we'll talk about it the day after tomorrow. I'll take you to buy yellow paper ingots tomorrow."

Lu Gu looked at him, full of gratitude, and finally gave a solemn "um" with a nasal sound.

-

On the day of Lu Guniang's death, he and Shen Xuanqing went to the grave on the hillside behind Anjia Village with bamboo baskets carrying offerings, yellow paper joss sticks and other things.

When he was thinking about things alone, he thought about it, now that he has money in his hand, he must burn a lot of paper money and ingots for his mother, so that his mother can have money to spend underground.He didn't dare to bother Shen Xuanqing originally, but Shen Xuanqing wanted to take him to buy it. He bought a lot and brought offerings.

The grass on the grave is taller, and it's not autumn yet, and it's not dry yet. There is no one in the Lu family to take care of it, so Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing pulled the grass on the grave first.

Because it was Lu Guniang, Shen Xuanqing knelt beside Lu Gu, took a branch and set fire together, and added paper money and ingots to it.

"Mom, with so much money, you can buy whatever you want, don't worry, I dried the goji berries myself, I'll burn some for you, and you can taste them, and there are also hazelnuts and chestnuts, which I picked up in the mountains. I ate a lot of them." , you eat too."

"The fruit offering." Lu Gu turned his head to look at Shen Xuanqing, choked slightly and said, "Erqing brought you the fruit offering, you can eat it if you want, it's all yours."

Seeing that Shen Xuanqing also burned the handful of new rice, his eyes were moist, and he said: "There is still new rice. This year we have made a lot of new rice. We steamed it and ate it. It is very delicious. I ate several bowls. When Erqing came here Brought it to you too."

The offerings were made, and the burnings were finished. Lu Gu wiped away his tears and was about to kowtow when Shen Xuanqing spoke.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Guzi, let him have enough food and clothing."

Lu Gu didn't expect Shen Xuanqing to call his mother, and he was stunned with tears in his eyes. It was only after Shen Xuanqing told him that it was time to kowtow that he came back to his senses.

After getting up, Lu Gu bent slightly to pat the dirt on his legs, and couldn't hold back his patting, tears fell straight to the ground, but he kept silent, Shen Xuanqing only realized it when he saw the teardrops falling on the ground.

The last time I saw Lu Gu crying was because he accidentally dropped the egg, but he didn't cry for a long time, and it wasn't like now, obviously he didn't make a sound, but the tears couldn't stop.

After Lu Gu straightened up, he still lowered his head, he wanted to slow down, but when he thought of the mother just now, he still burst into tears.

Shen Xuanqing had never seen such a battle before, the nine-foot-tall man was at a loss, and went to wipe the water on Lu Gu's face clumsily.
