I am Fugui

Chapter 122 Liu Cuiping

The next day, the sky was bright and clear, and the wind was smooth.

Early in the morning, Mother Xu wakes up in the future and dresses him up meticulously.

First, I boiled a pot of hot water, and then took the saponins to the bath house, and cleaned it from the inside to the outside.

After taking a bath, Laishun felt relaxed and transparent, his face was glowing red, and under the sunlight, his bald head seemed to be faintly reflecting.

He changed into a gray-blue Dacron shirt, loose black trousers, clean cloth shoes on his feet, and a wide-brimmed straw hat on his forehead to cover his bald head and restrain his vicious temperament.

The straw hat was specially washed and dried the day before yesterday, and the whole person looked energetic.

Xu's mother smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, raised her head and said with a smile, "My family's Laishun is so handsome, it's better than that girl from the Liu family."

Xu Fugui nodded in agreement, squeezed Laishun's stiff muscles, "Just come with this physique, I don't know how many girls are thinking about it behind my back."

Laishun chuckled, and asked impatiently, "When are we going to pick up Cuiping?"

Xu Fugui scooped up a scoop of cold mountain spring water from the water tank unhurriedly, and after drinking it, wiped the water stains around his mouth, "Don't worry, Mr. Yin Yang said, I want to pick up the bride when the sun is high , just wait."

Marriage is not a trivial matter, so father Xu specially went to the county seat to ask a yin and yang gentleman surnamed Li to do a fortune-telling.

The wedding day was also set by Mr. Yin Yang, that is, today, the sun is rising to pick up the bride.

The morning sun was slowly rising, and Jiazhen, dressed in coarse cloth, kept busy in the house.

Xu Fugui looked at the clean and tidy thatched cottage, and couldn't help saying: "Jiazhen, sit and rest for a while, there is nothing to clean up."

Jiazhen glanced at him happily, "I'm not tired, getting married is not a trivial matter, we can't let other girls dislike our family."

Laishun said: "Young Mistress, don't worry, Cuiping will definitely not dislike her."

When the sun was about three poles high, Jiazhen reminded them to set off.

So Laishun picked up the bamboo basket with a shoulder pole, and walked outside with big strides. The bamboo basket contained fifty catties of rice and the dowry gifts that they used to marry a wife in the local area. Xu Fugui followed beside him.

"Yo, Lai Shun, you are so beautifully dressed, are you going to the city?"

"When you enter the city of Qiu, you forgot that Laishun and the girl from the Liu family are on good terms? It seems that today is the day to pick her up."

"Oh~ three silver dollars for fifty catties of rice, right? I remembered, tsk tsk, Laishun, Fugui, you really agreed."

When the villagers met them, they exchanged casual greetings, knowing that Laishun was picking up his wife today, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they gave their blessings on the surface.

Lai Shun agreed all the way down with a smile, his mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Long Er was wearing a beige silk dress with fine workmanship, and asked lightly: "It's a happy event anyway, why didn't the gong and drum team invite one?"

Laishun looked at him jokingly, and retorted carelessly: "Master Long, why don't you buy one for me?"

Long Er rolled his eyes angrily, "You're not my son, why should I hire you a gong and drum team?"

Laishun laughed loudly, "Then why are you meddling in other things, do you want a son? Ask your two concubines to give birth to you, hahaha"

Long Er's face darkened in an instant. The burning of the incense was his biggest pain point, and he couldn't help yelling, "Fugui, do you still care about him? Do you still want to plant my land?"

Xu Fugui giggled a few times, glanced at his lower body, "Laishun, let's go, don't delay the great day."

Long Er looked at their backs, his eyes were full of gloom, which turned into deep helplessness and pain.

Looking down at his unconscious lower body, he threw away the crutch in his hand angrily, and the servant next to him hurried over to support him.

Liujia Village is not far away. Go out from the entrance of the village, step on the stones and walk across the nameless river, and then walk down the country road beside the river for 10 to [-] minutes.

This village is different from the clustered Xujia Village. It is scattered all over the valley, and usually three or five families gather together, and the whole village is spread widely.

Under the gossiping eyes of everyone in Liujia Village, Xu Fugui and Laishun came to Liu Cuiping's house on a familiar road.

"Here it comes, that tall man is here again!"

When a scrawny little boy in shabby clothes saw them, he immediately yelled loudly and ran back to his thatched hut with a bang.

Xu Fugui took a look at Liu Cuiping's house, several thatched huts connected together, almost as dilapidated as his house.

All kinds of miscellaneous things are piled up under the eaves in the yard, which looks messy, and weeds and green silicon can be seen everywhere.

Unlike Xu's house, although it is a thatched cottage, the weeds in the yard are cleanly removed, two neat piles of firewood are piled up in the yard, and various tools are also placed in an orderly manner.

When other people came to their house as guests, they praised Jiazhen and Xu's mother for their hard work. Many other people's houses were messy and even smelly.

"Come on, come in quickly, come in and sit down."

Liu Cuiping's parents came out with a smile, looked at the two bamboo baskets Laishun was carrying, and the smiles on their faces were even wider.

These two people should have tidied up carefully, and there were few patches on their clothes, especially Mother Liu, whose hair was combed and shiny, and it should have been wiped with saliva.

As the two approached, a smell mixed with foot odor and sweat wafted over. Xu Fugui's face remained unchanged, and he led Laishun into the thatched cottage.

The ground of the thatched cottage is considered clean, but there are too many sundries, and the inside of the cottage still looks messy.

Looking up, five or six children of different ages looked at them with bright eyes.

Several children were male and female. Several boys had no clothes on their upper bodies, their dark skin was naked, and their shorts were covered with patches. They all looked at them curiously and fearfully.

Especially looking at the really good clothes on them, the envy in their eyes is almost overflowing.

"Go, go outside and play!" Father Liu scolded, and the children immediately dispersed, leaving behind a short rural girl.

Although the girl was short, reaching his chest, she was beautiful and strong, with a flushed face, two clever eyes as black as black plants, strong arms with a thin layer of calluses on her palms.

The clothes on her body were patched and turned white from washing, and there was also a hole in the cloth shoes on her feet, which she tried her best to hide, pinching the corners of the clothes with both hands, and looked at them awkwardly.

Xu Fugui knew in his heart that this was the girl Liu Cuiping, and she gave him a good first impression. She didn't seem to be as harsh as a rural woman, so she should be easy to get along with.

Xu Fugui turned his head to look at Liu's father and Liu mother, and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, this is fifty catties of rice and three silver dollars. Look at this marriage."
