It was cold at night. In the barn of Uncle Ajin’s house, the ground was covered with hay and straw, and a fire was burning in the brazier. It was too cold in winter, and the newly born calf had to be placed next to the brazier to keep warm.

Lu Gu stood on tiptoe outside the crowd and looked in. There were many men who came to join in the fun, so it was difficult for him to step forward, and he and a few children in the village were a little farther away from the crowd.

"It's coming out." There was a commotion in front, everyone stretched their necks to look in at the newly pulled calf, and the children were even more curious.

Because Shen Xuanqing is the tallest, she can see everything clearly even standing behind.

Turning around, he saw Lu Gu tiptoeing his head, but he didn't see anything. He smiled and said, "I'll take you to take a closer look later."

Lu Gu's heels fell to the ground, and when the crowd in front dispersed a bit, he followed Shen Xuanqing into the barn.

Uncle Ajin had already surrounded the barn with old mats, so that the cows and calves could not get wind inside.

The calf was wet and there was blood between the cow's hind legs. It was not easy to calve.

After seeing the calf, the little curiosity in Lu Gu's heart was satisfied. When she was not married, Shuang'er girls usually would not casually go to other people's houses to watch such excitement.

In fact, there was nothing to look at. As soon as the blood stains caught his eyes, he knew that the calf was painful, so he didn't dare to look at the cow more.

"Mother, you go back first." Shen Xuanqing said to Wei Lanxiang who was looking over.

He turned his head and said to Lu Gu: "You go back with your mother first, and I will ask Brother A Jin about the calf."

Farm cattle are very useful in the fields, and more than one family in the village wanted them. He had asked Uncle A Jin to buy them when he had no cubs before. Afraid of accidents, he would decide tonight if he could. It's so close, you don't have to go elsewhere to buy it.

"En." Lu Gu nodded and went back with Wei Lanxiang first.

When Shen Xuanqing and the two brothers returned home, they learned that the calf had already been settled, and that they would be able to take it back after two or three months when it grew strong and weaned. Wei Lanxiang was overjoyed.

Lu Gu recalled the bull calf just now, and thought that it would be their family's cow in the future.

15Lantern Festival lanterns, but they don't have so many colorful lanterns to see in the countryside. If you want to talk about the excitement, it's the town. Lu Gu once heard Lu Wen say that during the Lantern Festival night, a long street in Fenggu Town is full of lanterns. People in the town will also play in the street with lanterns, and it really is as bright as day.

He had never seen such excitement, but this year Shen Xuanqing bought quite a few, nearly twenty of them, all in different styles. In the morning, Shen Yan pulled him to hang up the lanterns that should be hung, and waited for them to be lit at night.

Wang Li Village was far away, and the sun was warming at noon. The big show was about to start, and it was also to get early to occupy the front spot. Lu Gu had an early meal today, and Wei Lanxiang took him and Shen Yan to the show after eating.

Most of the people who love to listen to opera in the countryside are women and husbands, so Shen Xuanqing didn't go with her.

Wei Lanxiang, who was carrying a small stool, called Aunt Miao and Quan Ziniang loudly as soon as she went out. Lu Gu carried a small stool with a small basket on his right arm, which contained bamboo tubes filled with hot water, pastries, and Melon seeds and peanuts.

It's a long time to listen to the big show, so don't prepare some food.

As soon as I arrived at Wangli Village, the stage at the entrance of the village was set up, and people from several nearby villages came to listen to it, which was more than one.

Afraid that Shen Yan would get lost, Lu Gu quickly held her hand and followed Wei Lanxiang closely.Crowds of people, what you say and what you say, gather together and become a noisy downtown.

Lu Gu was afraid that they would be scattered, so he focused all his attention on the people around him. He didn't see Du Hehua in the crowd, but Du Hehua saw him.

Silver hairpin and silver bracelet, I didn't expect this wild species to live a good life.

Du Hehua gave a secret "bah" and touched the silver bracelet on her wrist. It was given to him by Lu Wen, so what about his concubine? Yes, thinking about it like this made her depressed, and squeezed into the crowd with the village women who fawned on her.

When the big play started, Lu Gu didn't know what happened to others, and sat next to Wei Lanxiang with Shen Yan, eating cakes and sunflower seeds, listening to the play very happily.

In the afternoon, it was time to cook, and people left one after another.

The play will be sung for three days, and now it's cold, so Wei Lanxiang got up and said, "Go back first, we'll come back tomorrow if we want to hear it."

Lu Gu didn't take a few steps, as if he had noticed something, when he raised his head, he saw Shen Xuanqing who was looking at him not far away.

He subconsciously wanted to go there, but he restrained himself, only the smile on his face showed a suddenly bright mood.

"Why are you here?" Wei Lanxiang wondered, she remembered that her second son didn't like listening to operas very much.

"Mother, Da Chen and the others said they would go to the town to watch lanterns at night, so I'll take Gu Zi to see them." Shen Xuanqing approached and said.

That's how it was, Wei Lanxiang said: "It's getting dark, so come back and forth and wait until night to come back."

"It's okay, there are a lot of people going." Shen Xuanqing handed the small bench and empty basket in Lu Gu's hand to Shen Yan, otherwise the road would be a burden.

Young people like to watch the excitement, Wei Lanxiang didn't overly obstruct them, told them to be careful on the road, and went home with Shen Yan first.

"We'll have dinner in the town." Shen Xuanqing led Lu Gu to another direction, and soon saw Da Chen and the others.

Lu Gu nodded, listening to the play and eating cakes and sunflower seeds, he is not very hungry right now.

There are more men going to see the lanterns together, but with Shen Xuanqing by his side, he is not afraid.

Wangli Village is a little closer to the town than Qingxi Village. It was still dark after arriving in the town. They first ate Fuyuanzi at a roadside food stall. It was sweet and glutinous, and the soup was hot. , that is, there are only eight in a bowl, and Lu Gu is not full, let alone Shen Xuanqing.

Come out to play tonight, naturally eat whatever you want, Shen Xuanqing went to Lugu to see and buy.

The lanterns on the long street are gradually lit up, and the colors are extraordinary. There are also lantern riddles guessers. The girl Shuang'er, who has never been out of the cabinet, rarely goes out. Now she is playing on the street with the lanterns. Lively and lively.

Lu Gu was dazzled by all kinds of lanterns, and he stopped when Shen Xuanqing wanted to buy them for him. There are so many at home, so why spend more money.

At the place where the lantern riddles were guessed, the stall owner was talking about the riddles, so he stopped involuntarily.

Lantern riddles are elegant things for country people. He has never guessed it before, and it is a difficult riddle. He doesn't know the answer, and even his eyes are blank.

It was Shen Xuanqing who thought for a while and whispered in his ear.

Encouraged, Lu Gu timidly told the answer, the stall owner glanced at him, nodded with a smile and handed over a lantern.

Once the words are released, if someone guesses correctly, they will be given lanterns. How can they break their promises, so many people are watching.

Lu Gu didn't expect that he got the answer right. When he took the lantern, he was a little bit erratic when he was watched by others, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it.

This lantern is actually very ordinary, not as exquisite as the ones bought by Shen Xuanqing at home. After all, the stall owner also has to make money, so he can't give away something too good for nothing.

"You guessed it right." Lu Gu recovered from his joy, and handed the lantern to Shen Xuanqing with a smile.

He was so happy that even his eyes were bright, Shen Xuanqing knew it was the right time to come tonight.

"Er Qing, come and see, there is a Phoenix Lantern." Da Chen and his wife in front shouted at them, Shen Xuanqing smiled, took the lantern and Lu Gu hurried up.

All the way to watch the lights and play, until late at night, a dozen people gathered together, counted the number of people and went home.

The night is thick, and it is not dark with the full moon on the road.

As soon as he left the town, the light became much weaker. Lu Gu's right hand hanging by his side was suddenly grasped. He looked to his side, because the people who were traveling with him wanted to break free.

Shen Xuanqing said in a low voice: "It's hard to walk at night, what if you lose it without paying attention?"

Lu Gu actually wanted to say that he was not a three-year-old child, how could he get lost, but the big hand holding him was too warm and strong, making him unable to speak. Fortunately, there was darkness covering his cheeks so that his slightly hot cheeks would not be burned. others see.

The men in front were chatting, and there were some bragging. It was also very lively in the dark.

The two of them fell behind, as if they formed a world of their own that no one else could break into.

Ever since I went down the mountain for the winter, there are too many people in my family, so it is difficult to do some intimate things. Now that I hold Lu Gu's hand, Shen Xuanqing doesn't want to let go at all.

It was a long way back. After walking about halfway, he stopped and asked, "Are you tired? How about I carry you back."

Lu Gu glanced at the person in front of him, shook his head and refused, afraid that people would hear these words, so he didn't speak.

Shen Xuanqing paused, slightly pursed her lips, feeling a little unwilling, he liked to be close to Lu Gu very much, although the suggestion just now was a temporary one, but now thinking about it, he hugged and kissed Lu Gu for so long, but he just didn't Memorized.

"If you don't speak, you agree." He found an extremely lame excuse, and without waiting for Lu Gu's reaction, he stood in front of him, grabbed Lu Gu's arms with his backhand, put them on his shoulders, and bent over while grabbing them Arching his back, he put Lu Gu on his back.

After he straightened up, Lu Gu's feet were off the ground, and with a hook of his hands, he separated Lu Gu's legs to the sides, and walked forward with his back firmly on his back.

The body flew into the air, Shen Xuanqing was too tall, after the arm was released, Lu Gu was so frightened that he immediately hugged Shen Xuanqing's neck tightly, for fear of falling.

They walked slowly behind, and someone looked behind and saw Shen Xuanqing carrying him on his back.

"Why are you carrying this on your back?" Da Chen also saw it, and asked with a smile.

Shen Xuanqing lied without changing her face: "I just stepped on a rock and sprained."

The man in front laughed twice, Lu Gu buried his head on his shoulder and dared not lift it up, his ears and cheeks were red.

Shen Xuanqing walked more slowly and gradually separated from the crowd.

Lu Gu lay on his broad and strong shoulders, Shen Xuanqing's neck and cheeks were next to his face, and he could smell a familiar scent.

He couldn't hear Da Chen's voice anymore, he couldn't help turning his face, wanting to whisper something, but Shen Xuanqing also turned his face at this time, and the tip of his nose and mouth accidentally rubbed against Shen Xuanqing's face.

Although the moonlight was light, one could clearly see the sudden smile on Shen Xuanqing's face: "Do you want to kiss me?"

This tone was completely different from usual, full of youthful complacency, as if it confirmed Lu Gu's mind.

"No, no." Lu Gu blushed and stuttered.

Shen Xuanqing stopped, smiled and said, "Kiss again, otherwise, I won't leave."

In the wilderness, how could Lu Gu dare to do such a thing outside, he hesitated to agree, but Shen Xuanqing turned her head to rub his cheek, and really didn't want to leave, he didn't want to let go.

Such a stalemate is not the answer, Lu Gu felt ashamed and ashamed, his heart trembled, but he still kissed Shen Xuanqing's cheek with one side, after he finished kissing, he wanted to say that it was time to leave, but Shen Xuanqing turned his face, looking for it so accurately , Kissed directly on his lips.
