The balm has some special effects, neither too much nor too strong, which made Lu Gu clearly feel the difference in his body. He was almost ashamed to death, but he couldn't control his voice, and immediately covered his mouth tightly.

But he gradually loosened his grip, making a sound that made Shen Xuanqing blush. After all, it is no better at home than on the mountain.

Lu Gu's hands were exhausted, but fortunately Shen Xuanqing reached out from behind and covered his mouth for him.

After being covered by that powerful hand over his mouth, Lu Gu felt a little at ease, and tried his best to endure everything. It was obviously winter, even though the coldness came in from the outside because of the current situation, the bed was still so hot that he wanted to touch his feet. Stretch outside to cool off.

The moon in the sky was covered by clouds, and it suddenly fell into darkness.

-

In the early morning, the door squeaked, and the coldness hit us head-on. People couldn't help shrinking their necks, rubbing their hands and face, and then took firewood to the kitchen to boil water.

The pup got off the sack, yawned and stretched himself, and ran into the kitchen with a "wow".

"Brother Daqing, you got up so early." Shen Yan got up and heard the movement in the kitchen, but when she came over, she saw Shen Yaoqing, she thought it was Lu Gu who was busy in the kitchen.

"It's not that your sister-in-law said she was thirsty. She drank little water yesterday afternoon." Shen Yaoqing added firewood to the bottom of the stove. Unable to bear the feet, he pushed the pup aside.

Seeing that there was no white steam coming from the side of the pot, Shen Yan said: "It's still early, wait until it boils for Auntie to drink, then you put the cage on the rack and put a few steamed buns to heat up."

"Okay, I see." Shen Yaoqing agreed.

It was too cold outside, and the water was not boiled and there was no way to wash, so Shen Yan went back to the room.

With the crowing of the cock and the barking of the dog, the entire Qingxi Village woke up one after another, and the voices of every household gradually increased.

It's cold in winter, it's not easy to get up, and I went to bed late last night, when Lu Gu woke up, he couldn't help but linger in the bed.

"Don't worry, brother has boiled all the water." Shen Xuanqing came in from the room, and closed the door when he saw that he was about to get dressed.

After seeing Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu belatedly recalled what happened last night, his face and ears blushed, he lowered his head and dared not look.

No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that the balm last night was different, otherwise he wouldn't be like that.I don't know where Shen Xuanqing got it, it's so dishonest.

Seeing him like this, Shen Xuanqing didn't know why, so she gave a fake cough and pretended not to remember anything, and said, "The weather is bad today, it's still windy outside, wear more."

Lu Gu didn't speak, just nodded to show that he understood.

"I'm going to change the water. It's always hot under the quilt." Shen Xuanqing walked over and said, and took out Mrs. Tang from the end of the bed.

At this moment, Lu Gu also got dressed and got out of bed, and after he went out, he rubbed his hot face before bending over to fold the bed.

Breakfast at home is always simple, steamed buns with small pickles are enough to fill you up, today I cooked an extra egg for Ji Qiuyue.

After eating, Lu Gu swept the courtyard clean, and the tables, chairs and benches in the main room were also swept with a feather duster. If the weather is bad, there is no way to dry the chickens, ducks and geese, so there is no need for him to go there again.

After finishing her busy work and having nothing else to do, Shen Xuanqing called the two of them to study.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, it was really cold, and it was too cold for the writing hands to be exposed outside, so I lit a brazier in the main room, and brought Mrs. Tang and put it on the table, and covered my hands with it when it was cold, otherwise I would get frostbite. The two of them don't need to take the merit test, and they don't need to be like poor students who dare not relax and neglect all the time.

Because they were serious, Shen Xuanqing even saved the ruler.

The brazier was lit, and Wei Lanxiang came over with a sewing basket and sat down. She took out soft cotton cloth and cut the soles. She couldn't use 袼褙 to make tiger-head shoes for the baby, it was too hard, and the linen was not good. I bought some cotton cloth and colored embroidery thread from my mother.

She knows how to make tiger-toed shoes, and bought more embroidery thread specially to embroider some flower patterns on the uppers of the shoes on both sides. This is her first grandson, so the shoes must be beautiful. The tiger-toed shoes they made were inferior, who let those people hug their grandson to show off in front of her, and the one with a rotten tongue chewed the root of his tongue behind his back, saying that Qiuyue couldn't give birth to them.

Tiger-head shoes in the countryside usually only embroider the front tiger-head shoes, and those who are particular about embroider the uppers. Although her embroidery work is not as delicate as Lu Gu's, she can also have several patterns. Bright embroidery is beautiful.

Ji Qiuyue didn't know the energy she was holding back in her heart. When she saw that she was going to embroider tiger-toed shoes, she also moved a chair and sat by the brazier. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed in a low voice how to do and how to embroider. It's cold, and I have to make a few pairs of thick shoes for the baby. The red ones are not very good-looking. It's better to buy some yellow cloth. As long as it is a warm and bright color, children will have no taboos in wearing it.

After half a morning of reading and writing, Shen Yaoqing wandered around the village, and when he came back, he called Shen Xuanqing to go out to look at the fields. The boss of the Lu family wanted to sell the land.

The sky was getting more and more gloomy, after his brothers went out, Lu Gu packed up his pen and ink, washed the ink off his hands, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

It didn't take much effort to look at the land. Shen Xuanqing was willing to buy it when he saw it was a Toyota Fertile Land, but it needed to be bought out, and he couldn't redeem it with him in the future. They were all acquaintances in Qingxi Village. Boss Lu was in a hurry for money, so he thought about it for a while He agreed, and the five mu of dry land was mortgaged to Shen Xuanqing at the price of five taels and one mu.

Boss Lu was also quick, and immediately asked the writers of the same village to write the land deed. The relatives of the Lu family, the neighbors, and the people in the middle all came to witness. Give the money and the land deed, and the deed and the five acres of land will belong to Shen Xuanqing.

Snowflakes were falling outside, Shen Xuanqing folded the land deed and stuffed it into her bosom, looked up at Boss Lu, before he could speak, Boss Lu said: "I know what you want to say, it's not easy to go to Fucheng when it's snowing today. When the weather clears, I will go with you to get the official seal."

"In that case, I'll call you when the time comes." Shen Xuanqing agreed.

"Success." Shen Xuanqing gave the 25 taels happily, unlike other people who had to bargain for a long time, and things might not be settled for a long time. With the money in his arms, Boss Lu relieved his urgent need, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled loudly and sent it to his brother The two went out.

The land deed is a red deed after paying the farm tax and then stamping the official seal. Otherwise, it is just a white deed, not to mention other deeds. It has to be done.

After coming out, Shen Yaoqing looked at the falling snowflakes, turned her head and said, "Meng Dayue slaughtered pigs today, last night your sister-in-law said she wanted to eat fresh pork, I'll go over and buy a few slings."

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing remembered that he wanted to give Lu Gu some bone sticks, but he didn't buy them when he came back, so he said, "Why don't you buy some more bone sticks and stew them on a high fire. The more you eat, the colder it gets, and the bones are covered with fresh meat."

"That's good. It's snowing today so you don't have to go out anymore. It's beautiful to eat meat and bones at home." Shen Yaoqing clapped her hands in praise, and said, "Go back and tell your mother that you bought the land, show her the land deed, and I'll go buy meat. "

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing didn't argue with him, and called Da Hui who came out to go home first.

There is less meat on the bone sticks, which is cheaper than hanging meat. There are many people in the family and there are dogs, and the bones can still be eaten by the dogs, so Shen Yaoqing bought more.

It was already noon after I bought it, and the steamed buns in rice soup in the Lugu pot were all hot, and I was cooking with a spoon outside. When I heard that Ji Qiuyue wanted to eat fried pork slices, he couldn't move his hands and called Shen Yan to cut the meat, because Ji Qiuyue likes spicy food , he plans to fry the pork slices with dried chili, the dried chili is not so spicy, just put less and it will have a spicy taste.

When frying the meat slices, Lu Gu stuffed a lot of firewood into the stove. His original intention was to stir fry them over high heat so that the family could eat as soon as possible. But it was the first time for him to use a horse spoon today, so the firewood he added was too much. I didn't control the heat, and I accidentally fried the sliced ​​meat a little dry, the lean meat can't be seen, and the white fat meat can obviously be seen browned, but fortunately, the hanging meat is leaner and fatter.

Meat is much more expensive than vegetables, so he went into the kitchen with a horse spoon, poured sliced ​​meat into a bowl, and hesitated to take it out.

When Shen Xuanqing came to serve the dishes, he saw that he was embarrassed, and he knew what was going on just by looking at the bowl of charred meat on the chopping board.

"You can eat it if it's not black, and it's not fried." Shen Xuanqing said, in order to prove his words, he even pinched a piece of meat on the edge and tasted it, but he raised his brows slightly and said: "It's too fat." It's like the dry pot pork that I ate in Brother Yang Xian's tavern before, it's fat but not greasy and dry and fragrant."

Lu Gu's stir-fried vegetables and fried meat are all made by Xue Ji Qiuyue Wei Lanxiang. They rarely cook dishes like those eaten in taverns in the countryside. Unexpectedly, this time not only they are not fried, but they are also delicious.

After it was served on the table, other people looked at it and thought it was a burnt pot, but Wei Lanxiang didn't say anything. She had cooked and burned several times in the past few years. Shen Yaoqing remembers it when he is so old, and sometimes joked with her. After a while, she thought of the food she cooked black, and she was not a harsh person, so she had no words, and she could eat the food that was not fried black.

Who knew it would be good after a taste, even Ji Qiuyue, who didn't want to eat fat meat at first, ate several slices. She has been pregnant for more than a month, and she occasionally feels sick, and she doesn't like fat meat, so Shen Yaoqing today The meat you buy is leaner.

Seeing that everyone said it was delicious, Lu Gu felt relieved, even if someone had the charred meat in their hands, he didn't say anything, just ate it if he could, it would be a pity to throw it away.

The sky is getting darker, the snow is getting heavier, flakes of snow are like goose feathers, and the white hair wind is blowing.

After eating, they couldn’t go out, and they had nothing else to do, so the whole family baked the brazier in the main room. The door of the main room was half covered, leaving a small gap to see the heavy snow outside.

I bought five acres of dry land, and the winter wheat has already been planted. This is how they sell fields here. Boss Lu wants to sell the land himself, not someone else to buy it. to buy.

The market price of an acre of better dry land fluctuates around [-] taels, and the high is not higher than [-] taels. This is the best price. If the other party is in a hurry, they will sell it.

Because there are wheat seedlings in the field, the wheat can be harvested in May next year. When Shen Shunfu had an accident, he bought two medicinal plants from Boss Lu, and Boss Lu sold them to him at a low price, so he earned a fortune and went to the mountains to collect herbs. The hard-earned money, so Shen Xuanqing didn't put down a single coin today.As for the judgment, he can't buy the land and sell it back after two years without planting.

After the beginning of spring, Shen Xuanqing wanted to go to the mountains. It would be fine if he was at home for spring plowing, weeding and watering, but if he was not at home, Shen Yaoqing could only go.

After discussing with the family, they decided that Shen Xuanqing's five acres of wheat would be enough for a year to sell before selling. The rest of the family was usually taken care of by Shen Yaoqing, and the money from the sale was also his. There is no need to keep the wheat in the dry land, and all can be sold.

Living together, there is nothing to suffer or not to suffer. Now the rice and noodles they eat are all grown by Shen Yaoqing, and they save enough food for six people to sell for money. In the future, Shen Xuanqing will have to look after Shen Xuanqing's land. It doesn't matter if you work hard. Life It is better to complement each other.

Outside, it was snowing and windy, and the firewood in the brazier was crackling softly, and the firelight was reflected on the faces of a group of people. They were hot after eating, and their clothes were thick, full and warm.

After chatting for a while, the door of the main room was blown open by a gust of wind, and the snow foam splashed, blowing coldly on the body.

Shen Yaoqing, who was closest to the door, hurried to close it. Wei Lanxiang said, "Sit on the bed when it's cold. Once the door is closed, Mrs. Tang will keep you warm. Your legs and feet will get cold after sitting here for a long time."

The firewood in the brazier was almost burned, Shen Xuanqing wanted to add a few more, but he didn't do anything when he heard the words, and they went back to their rooms.

The windows in the house are all papered, and Shen Yaoqing thickened the paper before the winter, allowing some light to shine through.

Listening to the wind outside, Lu Gu sat on the bed and covered his legs and feet with the quilt, with the warm Mrs. Tang inside, not cold at all.

When he had nothing to do, he moved the small kang table up, and put a sewing basket for easy access, so he was not afraid of tipping over.

Shen Xuanqing came in from the outside, holding a bowl in his hand, he ran to Wei Lanxiang's room to grab red dates and dried persimmons, and put the bowl on the kang table.

Lu Gu was embroidering with an embroidery frame, and he was sitting by the side watching, sometimes whispering a few words, seeing Lu Gu's downcast eyes doing embroidery work, his side face was shining, he couldn't help it, he went over to steal a scent, and kissed Still a little bit reluctant, he kissed Fu Lang on the face several times, even if Lu Gu wanted to hide, he didn't dodge it.

He was bold when he kissed, but he felt embarrassed after the kiss, but the smile on his face never diminished.

When eating in the afternoon, it was windy and snowy outside, but the house was very happy. The whole family sat around the medicine stove. The mouth of the horse ladle was wide and wide, so they filled the bone sticks and some broth with the horse spoon and put them on the medicine stove. Bring to a simmer.

The bone sticks have been stewed in a large pot for more than half an hour, using large firewood, and the stew is so soft that you don’t even need chopsticks. Everyone can hold it in their hands, sprinkle some salt on the meat and eat it. The meat is soft and rotten, almost It came down after one sip in the mouth, and it didn't bother one's teeth at all. The bones stewed to this extent can be eaten very clean.

The puppies kept barking when they smelled the meat. Shen Xuanqing had always been kind to his dogs. He picked up a big bone with meat and threw four of them. The puppies stopped barking as soon as they gnawed on the bones and meat.

Wei Lanxiang saw that even if the big bones were cheap, she was a little bit reluctant, but seeing the second child's nonchalant expression, she knew she couldn't say anything, and seeing that the bones were all bitten by dogs, she had to give up.

It was the first time for Lu Gu to eat meat and bones like this, and he felt that it was very fragrant, the meat was rich in aroma, and the meat on the bones tasted different from other ones. If you can’t eat it in the gap, you can poke it with the tip of your chopsticks Pick and choose, because it is too soft and rotten, it will be poked off, and it will not be ruined at all.

The white brittle bones are even more different to bite. At the end of the meal, Shen Xuanqing took the big bone stick to the kitchen and broke it. Everyone sucked the bone marrow, which was delicious.
