The rice was ready, and Shen Xuanqing was very diligent in helping to serve the dishes. He and Lu Gu were alone in the mountains, so there were no rules, and it was common for them to serve the dishes casually.
When he was at Lu's house, Lu Daxiang only came to the table after the meals were served, and ignored everything else. Most of the men in the village were like this, and Lu Gu had long since discovered that Shen Xuanqing was a little different from other men.
The spicy stir-fried rabbit meat was delicious and spicy, and the spicy taste was right, which was very enjoyable to eat.
Lu Gu couldn’t eat spicy food very much. He only ate a few pieces of rabbit meat, mostly he ate qiucai. Although it looked a little bland, only salt was added when frying, but it was good to eat with oil. It was much more delicious than boiled it in water.
Seeing that he ate less meat, Shen Xuanqing wanted to give him a few more pieces, but seeing that after Lu Gu ate a piece, he was so hot that he picked up the rice and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled and didn't give him the meat anymore, thinking that he should avoid making such spicy food in the future..
When Lu Gu was cooking, he also lit the medicine stove, cooked the remaining half of the rabbit meat in a clay pot, and gave it to Dahui and the puppy, so that the puppy wouldn’t keep pawing and barking when they were eating. If they wanted to eat, the big dog would come over. Even if they didn't pull their legs, they would squat down and watch them all the time. If they were too greedy, they would drool. Why didn't you give them something to eat, so that they could stay by the side to be quieter.
Not long after dinner, Lu Gu cleaned up the kitchen and came out with a sewing basket, intending to sit in the main room and embroider some handkerchiefs.
The sky changed in the blink of an eye, there was a strong wind blowing outside, the sky was dark, and the dark clouds rolled and gathered, and it became gloomy.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed, and one could see that the woods outside had been blown to the point where a lot of leaves had fallen, and they were swirled into the air by the strong wind.
The courtyard was located on a high place. From the gap in the forest, the tops of tall trees on the distant mountains could be seen bending and swaying with the wind, which showed that the wind was very strong.
Lu Gu immediately put down his needle and thread, and hurried to the backyard to drive the chickens and ducks to the woodshed to shelter them from the wind and rain.
All the things that should be collected in the yard were collected, and Shen Xuanqing saw that the sky had changed suddenly, so he removed the mud bricks blocking the drains of the yard wall, which were usually tightly blocked to prevent snakes and insects from crawling in.
The raindrops were splashing on the ground, the sky was so dark, and it had been gloomy since last night, and it was estimated that the rain would fall for a while.
The winter was the hardest for rural people. Just like rations, clothing to keep out the cold was equally important, otherwise they would suffer from frostbite.
"It would be colder after the rains. I'll chop more firewood in two days, so you can boil the water for washing vegetables and dishes." Shen Xuanqing said, hugging the person in his arms tighter.
Hearing this, Lu Gu felt indescribably happy and at ease. Shen Xuanqing treated him well and allowed him to wear warm clothes in winter without freezing. He wanted to dig more wild vegetables so that his family would have a lot of vegetables to eat during the winter.
He frowned slightly, and smiled quietly.
Shen Xuanqing, who was holding him, didn't see it, but he smelled the softness and warmth of his fulang’s body, and recalled the lingering joy that was different from the previous night. He couldn't help but kiss Lu Gu's cheek, lips, and neck lightly.
Lu Gu, who was secretly happy, froze for a moment after being kissed, and his lower lip was gently bitten, which was extremely charming.
Even if he knocked his teeth again, he still didn't stop the deep kiss from continuing. Shen Xuanqing used to only know how to kiss the upper corner of his lips, but only after reading the annotations in the picture books did he know how to kiss deeply.
Lu Gu was a little dizzy from being kissed, until the puppy screamed outside, he was beaten by a big dog, whimpering sounded very pitiful, he woke up like a dream, and remembered that the door was open, he was so frightened that he shuddered. Reached out to push Shen Xuanqing.
