The Sweet Little Fulang

This time, there are many people who have to carry things on their backs, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. When encountering uphill and downhill, they have to push and drag the cart, so they stop and go, eat a dry meal on the way, and return home It's already afternoon.

Ji Qiuyue heard the barking of dogs outside, and came out to meet her before she reached the door, and followed her in great gray and white.

"Mother, I soaked the dried chestnuts last night, boiled them in sugar water this morning, and stewed them with chicken at noon, but I can't wait until you come back. It's just right now. can eat."

Seeing her reaching out to take the bamboo basket, Wei Lanxiang raised her hand to block it, and blamed: "You forgot to have a body? Rest quickly, don't touch these things."

Although it was blame, Wei Lanxiang smiled again after she finished speaking. Ever since Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yaoqing came back from the herbal doctor that day, she has been happy every day.

Many women and husbands of her age have grandchildren in their arms, and they are seen wandering around the village with their grandchildren all day long. Now she is going to embrace her grandson as a grandmother, and she is so happy.

"Sister-in-law." Lu Gu called out in a low voice, and paused for a while, not knowing what to say, the overly polite words of congratulations were not easy to say to his family, so he could only purse his lips and smile slightly.

Ji Qiuyue saw him like this, her thoughts were written all over her face, how could she not know what he meant, so she smiled and said: "Guzi is back, try the braised chicken with chestnuts made by sister-in-law, the chicken soup is also nourishing."

"En." Lu Gu nodded in response, and even he noticed that Ji Qiuyue's smile was different from the past.

She was originally a cheerful and straightforward person, but now her eyes are bright, and when the sun shines down, her face seems to have a soft light, and her face is full of joy without a trace of haze.

At this moment, Shen Yaoqing was pulling the car and was almost at the door of the house. The road was flat and there was no need to push hard behind. Seeing that Ji Qiuyue was a few steps behind and went to talk to Shen Yaoqing, Wei Lanxiang and the others smiled and went home first.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Shen Yaoqing smiled naively when he saw his daughter-in-law, and everyone could see his joy from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Qiuyue felt that he was too naive, so she glared at him and said, "Okay, why don't you take up space on the bed?"

Shen Yaoqing was not annoyed at being run over, and while no one was paying attention, she let go of the hand on the cart, stretched out to grab his wife's hand, squeezed it tightly before letting go.

Ji Qiuyue glared at him again, but didn't say anything, her smile never diminished.

The chicken soup is bright and fragrant. The chestnuts absorb the broth, which is slightly salty but also sweet and glutinous. The chicken stewed until soft has the sweetness of chestnuts and is more delicious.

The chicken was an old hen killed by Shen Yaoqing before going up the mountain yesterday. A lot of whole chickens were chopped up, and a lot of chestnuts were also made, and a lot of water was added to stew it, enough for everyone to drink a bowl of chicken soup.

The chicken and chestnuts were served in a big old bowl. Not only Shen Yaoqing added vegetables and meat to Ji Qiuyue's bowl, but even Wei Lanxiang kept adding chicken pieces to her.

People with a body are different, even Shen Yan knows that he can't compete with his sister-in-law for meat, especially Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing, besides, chestnuts are meaty and delicious, and there are other dishes.

"Second brother said that those rabbits and pheasants are not for sale, and I leave them for you to eat." Shen Yaoqing said thinking of this.

Ji Qiuyue likes to eat spicy fried rabbit meat. Hearing this, she looked at Shen Xuanqing with a smile and said, "Second brother, don't worry."

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said nothing, now that life is getting better, it's okay to leave that little thing for her family to make up for.

"After eating these, I'll buy some black-bone chickens for you to supplement." Shen Yaoqing said again, after two or three years of hard life, Ji Qiuyue lost a lot of weight than when she first married him. After a period of time, he gained a little weight, and now there are two people, and he is always worried that his wife will not eat well.

"Yes, buy a few black-bone chickens and eat them well." Wei Lanxiang echoed beside him.

Even if the women in the country are pregnant, they don’t eat meat every day. Now that they have rabbits and pheasants, they still have to buy black-bone chickens. After hearing this, Ji Qiuyue feels that her husband and mother-in-law are thinking of herself, and she is happy, but she still feels that spending too much money Not good, so I said: "Just buy one or two less, there is no one who eats these often."

"Yeah." Although Shen Yaoqing responded again and again, he didn't think so in his heart. Now that his daughter-in-law is pregnant, he can't talk too much, and it's not up to him to decide how many to buy at that time.

After a meal, everyone is full, and the whole body is warm after drinking the chicken soup.

Today, five of the six members of the family drove the mountain road, and their legs and feet were tired because they had to push the cart while carrying their luggage. After eating, they did not do much work.

It was getting dark early, and it was getting colder without the sun, so Lu Gu went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water for the family to wash and soak their feet, and also pour soup for the mother-in-law.

He sat in front of the stove, the fire reflected on his face, it was not as cold as outside.

Not long after Shen Xuanqing entered the kitchen, Lu Gu thought he was trying to scoop up water, so he said, "The water hasn't boiled yet."

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing didn't say anything else, he actually came to find Lu Gu, and he had nothing to do in the room by himself, but now Lu Gu looked up at him with puzzled eyes, thinking it was something else, so let him A little embarrassed.

"I'll help you." He said, squatting down next to Lu Gu, adding some firewood to the bottom of the stove.

He only boils water without the help of others, besides, there is only a small stool in front of the stove, but Shen Xuanqing is close to him, squatting down is a little higher than he sits on the small stool, Lu Gu feels a little oppressed by being stuck inside, but it is also inexplicable Peace of mind.

Lu Gu is not that smart, but he sensed something right now, the fire was warm, Shen Xuanqing's legs were touching his legs, the atmosphere was a bit charming, he didn't speak, the hands on his knees moved slightly, subconsciously clenched He pulled his trousers loose again.

The firewood at the bottom of the stove crackled softly, and it was burning blazingly. Shen Xuanqing noticed that there were a few scratches on the fingers of the back of Lu Gu's thin hands, and some scabs had formed on the slight wounds that ooze a little blood from the scratches.

Country people often work, and their hands are seldom delicate, even Lu Gutian is fair, but apart from his hands, his face is fairer than ordinary people, not to mention the parts of his body where the sun cannot be seen.

There was no one else in the kitchen, it was dark, and it was so cold, the rest of the Shen family were all in their rooms, no one disturbed them.

Shen Xuanqing couldn't hold it back, and raised her hand to grab Lu Gu's hand. At first, she held it tightly, but then she gradually became presumptuous, from pinching the palm of her hand to playing with her fingers.

Even he himself can't understand it, it's just a hand, everyone has it, but it just can't let go.

Lu Gu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, the orange fire was shining brightly, his blushing face couldn't tell whether it was from embarrassment or heat.

Until white steam came out from the side of the pot, it didn't take long to hear Shen Yan shouting from the main room: "Brother Guzi, is the water boiling?"

There were footsteps outside, and she yelled as she walked towards the kitchen.

Shen Xuanqing woke up like a dream, and Lu Gu was even more panicked. He withdrew his hand all of a sudden, and shouted with a trembling voice: "It's open."

Seeing Lu Gu's shy eyelashes trembling slightly, touching his husband's hands in the kitchen, Shen Xuanqing was also a little embarrassed, but there was a smile on his face.

Shen Yan brought two Mrs. Tang over, one was to help Ji Qiuyue irrigate, first filled it and stuffed it into the quilt, and it would be warm in the quilt after washing and lying down.

"I'll get it." Shen Xuanqing got up and said.

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, and helped Shen Yan drink Tang Pozi first.

As the night darkened, the entire Qingxi Village became completely quiet, and occasionally a few dogs could be heard barking.

After being hugged by Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, but suddenly, a big hand groped and covered his eyes.

He subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't help but close them again due to the occlusion in front of his eyes. In this way, the long eyelashes brushed against Shen Xuanqing's palm, and the slight itchiness seemed to pass across his heart at the same time.

Sure enough, this is the feeling, this is what Shen Xuanqing wanted to do before, and finally got started tonight.

Lu Gu struggled in his arms, and anyone who was blindfolded would feel uncomfortable, so he let go of his hand, wanting to explain but didn't know how to say it, so he didn't speak at all, hugged Lu Gu and kissed him for a while, the unbearable itchiness was in his arms Only after the kiss is relieved can I close my eyes and sleep steadily.

-

After catching so many fat badgers, all of them are fat and strong after being fattened in autumn. One of them is heavy to lift. It is the most important thing to peel the badgers as soon as possible and then refine the badger oil.

After breakfast, Wei Lanxiang took Shen Yan to the town to buy ice flakes. Not to mention the village, ordinary people in the town couldn't afford ice flakes, but adding ice flakes when refining badger seed oil was the best. The good kind of badger seed oil can be sold at a higher price after being refined.

After Lu Gu had boiled hot water, the two brothers Shen Xuanqing killed and skinned badgers together in the courtyard.

Ji Qiuyue took a look and felt sick to her stomach, and didn't dare to look again. Lu Gu often saw Shen Xuanqing skinning rabbits and plucking pheasants, but this was the first time I saw badgers being killed. Live ones were bled first, and dead ones were peeled directly.

The small dog was chained in the backyard, and Big Hui was used to smelling the bloody smell of the prey, so he gathered around, looking quite stable.

The pup barked excitedly, wanted to bite the badger meat secretly, and even got close to smell the blood on the ground. Afraid that it would lick the blood, Lu Gu hurriedly told it to go to the main room, and closed the door of the main room without letting it go out again.

The boy followed him all day long, naturally obedient, and followed him when he called.

"Guzi, how about this cloth?" Ji Qiuyue probed outside the door when she heard the movement.

The smell of blood in the yard was strong, the badger was bigger than the hare, and the scene of skinning and digging out the belly was really not very good-looking. Lu Gu didn't want to watch it anymore, so it passed after hearing the words.

"Sit down." Ji Qiuyue sat on the edge of the bed, spread out a piece of red cloth and touched it.

Lu Gu sat down and touched it. It was soft and soft. He thought it was really good, so he said, "It's really a good cloth."

He raised his head and asked again: "Sister-in-law, are these used to make clothes for children?"

"Yes." Ji Qiuyue smiled, and said again: "I will leave it with you, Brother Daqing. The child in August next year will be hot. Just use this thin cloth to make some clothes."

That being the case, Lu Gu thought for a while and said, "After the clothes are finished, I'll embroider some small flowers to make them look better, and I'll embroider them with a tiger head pattern."

Tigers and lions are majestic and majestic. Children here, regardless of gender, will wear tiger-headed hats and tiger-headed shoes if they are fastidious.

Ji Qiuyue nodded again and again, smiling happily: "Okay, don't worry, my stomach is not big enough to work in the winter, I just bought four-color embroidery thread, and I plan to make a tiger-head hat, tiger-head shoe girl Tell her to do it, and now I embroider the tiger pattern on the clothes, and it's complete."

At this time, the puppy came in wagging its tail, Ji Qiuyue glanced at it, and said with a smile, "It's still so fat."

Lu Gu's eyebrows were slightly curved, and he looked at the puppy with a slight smile, and thought that next year there would be a little child wearing a small dress and shoes with a tiger head pattern, and he felt happy in his heart. Let go first, that's what matters.
