I am Fugui

Chapter 12 Stillbirth
After cutting a basket of sheep grass and going home, the lamb saw it and immediately lowered its head to chew. It seemed that it was very hungry. Feng Xia squatted next to the lamb, gently stroking the head of the lamb.

Not idle, he sharpened the newly bought hoe, went to the field to find Laishun Changgen and Father Xu, and worked with them to loosen the soil and weed.

The three of Laishun had never worked in the fields before, their movements were clumsy, and their clothes were covered with mud.

On the contrary, Xu Fugui spit into the palm of his hand, dug up slowly, and took care of every piece of land. The dug up soil was arranged in a row, which was very beautiful.

Xu's father hammered his waist twice, and seeing this scene, he felt that he couldn't understand his incompetent son.

Laishun didn't think so much, and asked about the affairs in the county with great interest, and Xu Fugui talked about today's experience one by one.

Father Xu and Chang Gen were equally terrified after hearing this, and told him not to be brave when encountering such things in the future, and losing money is a trivial matter.

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes, "Father, if I really lost this silver dollar, can you believe it was stolen by a pickpocket?"

Father Xu smiled unnaturally, poked his neck and said, "You are my son, why don't I believe you? Anyway, in a casino, a silver dollar can't do anything."

"Master, where is that pickpocket? The bastard is really bold. He must be Hu Mazi's subordinate. Find a chance to beat him up!" Laishun said while clenching his fists, his rough face was full of ferocity.

For three acres of dry land, if you really need to loosen the soil, weed, and fertilize, one afternoon is definitely not enough.

After all, three acres of land is bigger than three basketball courts.

Moreover, only he and Laishun were the only ones who could be counted as labor force. Changgen and Father Xu were old and had only two hoes, so they couldn't do much work, they could only pick up the stones and clods in the field.

When it was getting dark, Fengxia ran over and shouted loudly: "Father, grandpa, grandma told you to go back to eat."

Xu Fugui looked at the gray sky, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the fruits on the ground, and smiled slightly.

He walked barefoot to the ridge, picked up his cloth shoes, put the hoe on his shoulder, and prepared to go home for dinner.

Fengxia raised her hands, Xu Fugui shook her head, slapped her trousers, and the dirt fell off immediately, "Father is very dirty, go back and hug him."

"Then I'll help daddy wash his pants." Fengxia followed him step by step, constantly buttoning the dirt off the trouser legs with her little hands.

Tonight, except for Jiazhen, everyone else ate boiled sweet potatoes as usual, but there was an extra dish, mushroom soup, and a little oily flakes could be seen in the soup.

The shiitake mushrooms were picked up by Lai Shun and Chang Gen when they were looking for firewood on the mountain. They added some peanut oil they bought today, and they cooked in such a pot.

In addition, the porridge that Jiazhen drank was mushroom porridge, which smelled very fragrant, and Fengxia was provoked to steal it all the time, so no one could see it.

Xu Fugui took a sip of the shiitake mushroom soup. Apart from the aroma of peanut oil and the umami taste of shiitake mushrooms, what impressed me the most was that it was too salty!
He couldn't help but took another two sips.

People have no energy if they don’t eat salt. For the past two days, they have eaten nothing but sweet potatoes with no salt. When working in the afternoon, the hungry one’s chest sticks to his back.

This bowl of mushroom soup came in a timely manner. I soaked the sweet potatoes directly into the soup and ate it with big mouthfuls.

When you are hungry, everything you eat is delicious in the world, including other people, with a smile of enjoyment on the corners of their mouths.

"When I was a master in the past, I felt that big fish and meat were not so delicious." Father Xu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said melancholy.

Xu Fugui walked over, squeezed his shoulders, and said with a smile: "It is said in the book that when you are old, it is best not to eat wild fish and meat, and eat light food to maintain your health."

Xu's father moaned comfortably. After a long day of work, his waist was sore and his back ached. The massage came just in time. the difference?"

"It's all you bastard. If it weren't for you, I would still be a master now. When I go to the county town, people would have to call me sir."

Xu Fugui sneered, "In a few years, those gentlemen will all be shot."

"What are you mumbling about, you bastard? If you want to speak, speak louder."

"It's nothing, by the way, Dad, I'll discuss something with you." Xu Fugui changed his pinch into a hammer.

Father Xu said without thinking, "There is no need to discuss it."

Xu Fugui coughed twice, Xu's mother scolded: "Old man, Fugui is talking to you, if you can't walk anymore, why don't you have Fugui to serve you?"

Xu's father was indifferent, "If I really die in the future, I can buy a bottle of medicine and drink it right away, so as not to hinder this beast's eyes."

"Slap!" Mother Xu withdrew her slap, "Don't say such unlucky words."

Father Xu rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Fortunately, you are still a woman, what did you want to discuss?"

Mother Xu glared at him, sat down again, and continued to weave straw sandals with the help of the light from the stove.

Xu Fugui recounted in detail how he met Wang Wenchang today, adding some of his own opinions.

Unexpectedly, just after hearing this, Father Xu waved his hand directly, "Bastard, there is no room for negotiation, you don't even think about taking money from me, that's fine, I'll go back to the house first."

"Old man, don't you wash your feet and face?" Xu's mother shouted behind her.

"Bring it to the house for me."

Seeing Xu's father's back disappear, Xu Fugui blinked his eyes. Fortunately, he still pondered all afternoon, but Xu's father directly slapped Germinal to pieces.

It was impossible to say that I would not be disappointed, so after washing my feet and face, I carried Fengxia and Jiazhen back to the house, ready to go to bed.

Jiazhen was very considerate, after putting Fengxia to sleep, she whispered, "Fugui, do you really want to do business?"

Xu Fugui hesitated and nodded.

Jiazhen took out a gold bracelet from somewhere, "I have another bracelet here."

Xu Fugui took the bracelet and looked at it. It was pitch black at night and he couldn't see clearly. He said uncertainly, "This was given to you by my mother when I just passed the door. She said that if you wear this, you will always be me in the future." The daughter-in-law of the Xu family."

Jiazhen hummed lightly, "Slow down, I've been hiding this bracelet, in case you stole it and used it for gambling."

Xu Fugui returned the bracelet to her. He was really not a joker before. When he ran out of money, he went to steal Jiazhen and Xu's mother's jewelry, and even stole Fengxia's longevity lock.

"What kind of business do you want?" Jiazhen asked.

Xu Fugui shook his head, saying he didn't know.

"Then do you know how to do business?"

Xu Fugui still said he didn't know.

"Then what craft do you know?"

Xu Fugui's voice was softer this time, "I know how to farm. When I was young, I liked to play in the field. I watched others plant it."

Jiazhen didn't say anything more, but Xu Fugui knew that the business plan was stillborn.

After all, he doesn't even have a craft, so why do he do business? Apart from farming, he seems to know nothing
