I am Fugui

Chapter 114
Light rain came suddenly, pattering on the eaves.

As night fell over the land of Xujia Village bit by bit, Xu Fugui and Lai Shun ate food with great gulps.

To celebrate the two returning home safely, not only cooked a big pot of white rice tonight, but also cooked a handful of vermicelli. He and Laishun couldn't help but whet their appetites.

He has been eating dry food for the past few days, and he almost vomited after eating, but the steaming and fragrant white rice is delicious.

After eating and drinking enough, I lifted a bamboo chair and placed it under the eaves comfortably. After sitting down, I crossed my legs and looked at the rainy scene outside.

The rain came in a timely manner. The sky had been sunny for a long time, and the land was extremely dry. This light rain just moistened the land, and the crops could grow better.

After thinking about it, he naturally took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Lai Shun, took out one and put it in his mouth, lit a match, and took a deep breath.

"Father, what are you doing?" Feng Xia ran over, climbed up and sat on her lap.

Fengxia was wearing a floral long sleeve, her hair was braided into two braids, and her pouty face was adorable.

Xu Fugui rubbed her face, looked at the cigarette in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

How did he get into the habit of smoking?
After Jiazhen washed the dishes, she took out a stool and sat next to him, glanced at the cigarette in his hand, and said nothing.

Xu Fugui put out the cigarette, patted his chest, "Jiazhen, I won't smoke anymore, this cigarette was given to me by someone else."

Jiazhen gave him a funny look, "Which man's family doesn't smoke? You can smoke if you like, but don't buy the one with a handle. Let's grow dry tobacco ourselves. I think Brother Wu and Uncle Sun's family also grows some."

"Smoke it, such a good cigarette, don't waste it, Fifth Sister told me, you men work hard, smoke a cigarette, this man will be energetic."

When Xu Fugui thought about it, it seemed that this was the truth.

I performed tasks two days ago, and when I was nervous, I would not be nervous if I smoked one.

When you are on the road, you are tired from walking, and you can smoke another one, and you will be refreshed again.

With Jiazhen's support, he lit his cigarette again, exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and quietly stared at the raindrops falling from the eaves.

Jiazhen smelled the tobacco smell mixed with male hormones, and suddenly felt that it smelled good, which was different from the smell of cigarettes on other men.

"Father, can I smoke?" Feng Xia asked suddenly, with big clear and bright eyes open.

Xu Fugui laughed, and Jiazhen said patiently: "Fengxia, you are a child, you cannot smoke."

"Then will I be able to smoke when I grow up?"

Xu Fugui laughed louder, Jiazhen looked at Fengxia dumbfounded, "I can't smoke when I grow up."

"why?"

"Because Fengxia is a girl, if Fengxia smokes in the future, no one will marry Fengxia."

Fengxia nodded half-understood, new questions kept coming out of her small mouth, and Jiazhen answered them patiently.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, and when the cold wind mixed with raindrops blew, it was a bit chilly.

"Jiazhen, Youqing fell asleep." Father Xu said suddenly, and Youqing in his arms fell into a deep sleep.

"Give it to me, I'll put it on the bed, Dad, you go and rest."

Father Xu put down You Qinghou, rubbed his sore arm, with a smile on his face, and walked back to the house slowly on crutches.

"My father can coax the child?" Xu Fugui asked in surprise.

Jiazhen rolled his eyes at him, "Father knows a lot, don't think he is always aggressive with you, but he has a very good temper and has never been aggressive with me."

Xu Fugui took it for granted: "Whoever has a daughter-in-law like you is too late to be happy, who dares to scold her."

"It's not as good as what you said." Jiazhen muttered, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help smiling.

Xu Fugui took out the wooden basin, poured hot water into it, washed Fengxia's feet, and Jiazhen carried her to bed.

Xu Fugui sat in front of the fire and added two dried bamboos to it. The fire heated up the water in the iron pot.

After a while, Fengxia fell asleep, and the room was completely quiet, except for the snoring sound coming from the next door.

It is worth mentioning that Lai Shun and Chang Gen finally no longer need to sleep in the stove. After the lo mei business stopped some time ago, they started to build a wooden shed next to the stove. inside.

Jiazhen came out of the room, sat next to him, put her head on his shoulder, "Fugui, it's a good thing you're back."

Xu Fugui put his arms around her slender waist, "I told you, it will be fine."

"Where have you been these few days?"

"It was sealed in the county seat."

"Hmph, you are burning newspapers on the grave, fooling ghosts, you can hide it from your parents, but you can't hide it from me."

Xu Fugui smiled, and briefly recounted the events of the past few days without any surprises, hiding all the dangerous details.

Jiazhen hummed lightly, "Do you have any tasks in the future?"

Xu Fugui shook his head, "No more, stay at home with peace of mind from now on."

Jiazhen smiled, and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, "Boil water for a bath?"

"Well, I'm so dirty, I need to take a bath."

"I haven't washed for days, too."

"Then let's wash together."

After a long time, in the dead of night, the door of the wooden shed was opened, and Xu Fugui hugged Jiazhen out like a princess.

Jiazhen returned to the bed and immediately fell asleep.

For the next month or so, as the summer quietly entered, Xu Fugui's life was also peaceful.

He didn't have to get up before dawn every morning, and he would get up slowly when the sky turned white. Jiazhen went to make breakfast, and he went to cut sheep grass.

Then I went to work in the fields, and occasionally went to the mountains to look for firewood when I had nothing to do, and to see if I could catch some game by the way.

Rainy days are his holidays, and it rains heavily, so he can only be trapped at home to rest.

So rainy days have become his favorite weather. Of course, once the rain falls for two consecutive days, he will be very upset.

I haven't been to the fields for a long time, and I always feel uneasy and want to take care of these crops at any time.

Time passed slowly in the ordinary days, and suddenly on a certain day, a shocking news came from the county.

The southern troops marched north, took the initiative to tear up the agreement, and mercilessly fired shells to the north!

The flames of war are on.

The world began to become chaotic again. People gathered together and sighed. I am afraid that there will be more food and tax collections. Together with the war, the people like them will suffer in the end.

But Xu Fugui was even more determined not to go to the city
