I am Fugui

Chapter 129 The Great Wedding

In the countryside in May, the vegetable fields are full of vitality.

Cucumbers, cowpeas, tomatoes, peppers, and various fruits and vegetables have all been planted and sprouted.

The wheat has not been confiscated, the peaches and plums are turning red, and the oranges are gradually showing their heads. Before the real harvest season comes, this is a rare free time.

Xu Fugui was wearing a pair of gray baggy trousers with patches, a yellowish white long-sleeved gown on his upper body, a wide-brimmed straw hat on his forehead, and stepped on the ground with his bare feet.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry, I picked a tender cucumber, wiped off the sharp thorns on the cucumber, bit it down, and the fresh cucumber juice burst out in the mouth.

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, a faint sound of beating gongs and drums came from the entrance of the village, and the sound became more and more obvious from far to near.

"Whose family's happy event?"

Xu Fugui asked himself a question.

I haven't heard of anyone in the village having a happy event recently, and in this world, who in their village has the money to invite a gong and drum team to have fun?

Inadvertently paying attention, he finished eating the gherkins and prepared to pick some vegetables and put them in the basket behind him.

"Fugui, Fugui!"

A few familiar voices came from behind. Turning around, Chen Yunsheng and Hu Xingwang rushed over with all their might, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Xu Fugui straightened up, and when he was about to ask, the two grabbed his hand, "Go, go quickly."

Xu Fugui followed their strength and walked towards the village, "What's wrong, what are you talking about?"

"Big happy event, big happy event, you kid, hahaha, I didn't expect you to do such a big thing secretly."

The second monk Xu Fugui couldn't figure it out, and followed them back to the door of his house, only to find that the courtyard was surrounded by people from three floors inside and three floors outside.

The sound of beating gongs and drums came from the courtyard, Xu Fugui was even more puzzled, is this gongs and drums team coming for his own house?

"Fugui is here, let him in quickly, you dead woman, don't get in the way."

There was a noise, Xu Fugui walked into the yard, and met a short-haired woman looking at him with a smile.

He was dressed in army green clothes, with shiny leather shoes on his feet, and his waist was straight and full of heroism.

She stretched out her hand, "Comrade Fugui, long time no see."

Xu Fugui shook her hand lightly, and shook it excitedly, "Comrade Yuzhi, have you won yet?"

Du Yuzhi nodded, "Overall, we have won. There are still many bandits in some areas, but Yunxi County has been taken over by the organization."

Xu Fugui nodded solemnly, "That's good, that's good, the good days for our common people are finally coming."

Du Yuzhi looked at him with a smile, and the events of three years ago flashed through his mind.

Signaling the gong and drum team to stop, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his face was serious, "Comrade Xu Fugui, Comrade Xu Laishun!"

"To!"

Xu Fugui immediately straightened his back and put his hands on the seams of his trousers, as if they were javelins.

"Here!" Laishun hurried to his side, imitating the example.

Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Jiazhen hugged Youqing, and Liu Cuiping hugged Fengxia, standing under the eaves, watching this scene with a little trepidation.

Du Yuzhi paid a military salute, took out a document, and said loudly: "Comrade Xu Fugui, Comrade Xu Laishun made great contributions to the work behind the enemy lines in such and such a year."

"And the two men have correct thinking and attitudes, have a strong sense of serving the people, and are not afraid of difficulties. After research and decision by their superiors, Comrade Xu Laishun will be given third-class merit, and Comrade Xu Fugui will be given second-class merit!"

Xu Fugui's palms kept trembling with excitement. He never expected that he would be able to get second-class merit just by participating in an operation. This is unbelievable.

Those soldiers who shuttled through the hail of bullets on the front line may not get a second-class merit, so why should he get it.

Without thinking too much, he gave a military salute and shouted in a high spirited tone: "All for the organization, all for the people!"

"Me too, all for the organization, all for the people!" Lai Shun said with a cheerful smile.

Xu Fugui kicked him, motioning him not to laugh.

Du Yuzhi smiled again, and handed them two bright red certificates, then took out two medals, and solemnly placed them in their hands.

"clap clap"

Du Yuzhi took the lead in applauding. Seeing this, the surrounding villagers immediately applauded vigorously, with more shock in their eyes than the Xu family.

They really didn't know that Mingming Fugui had been farming in the village, so why did he get involved with the Xintu organization.

The sound of the gongs and drums beat again, Xujia Village was full of excitement, and the smiles on the faces of everyone in Xujia never disappeared.

After the award was over, Jiazhen and Cuiping hurriedly called Du Yuzhi into the house, while the members of the gong and drum team sat in the yard and drank tea.

Du Yuzhi walked into the thatched hut, looked around, nodded slightly, looked at Jiazhen, and said softly: "Fugui often mentioned you to me, saying that you are beautiful, educated, virtuous and gentle, I thought he was showing off at first, I didn’t expect him to have reservations about what he said.”

Jiazhen didn't know what to call her, so she wiped the best bamboo chair at home over and over again, "Sir, you sit, my family is rich thanks to your care."

Du Yuzhi waved his hand indifferently, "Don't call me sir, if you don't mind, just call me Sister Yuzhi."

"Sister Yuzhi."

Du Yuzhi nodded in satisfaction, and Jiazhen took Cuiping and the two children out with understanding, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Although the three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, their relationship was not that unfamiliar. Let's exchange pleasantries for a long time and recall the time when we were inquiring about information in the county.

Then Du Yuzhi talked about his own experience. He took his life back from Lord Yan many times, and almost died.

After talking for a long time, Xu Fugui filled up his teacup, "Comrade Yuzhi, will you stay in Yunxi County to take charge of the work?"

Du Yuzhi nodded, "The organization decided to let me take charge of the work of Yunxi County temporarily, but Comrade Chen told me that he won't stay here for too long."

Suddenly, Du Yuzhi lowered his voice and said, "Your second-class merit and third-class merit were also won by Comrade Chen for you."

No wonder he got the second-class merit. Xu Fugui felt grateful and asked, "I wonder what Comrade Chen's full name is?"

"When we meet in the future, we will naturally know."

Xu Fugui shook his head, he still had self-knowledge, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet her for a big person like Comrade Chen."

Du Yuzhi glanced at him inexplicably, "That's not necessarily the case. Comrade Chen would always say something about you even when he was fighting, and he obviously admired you very much."

Xu Fugui scratched the back of his head, not knowing what he had to admire, so he could only smile.

"By the way, Fugui, Laishun, do you still have your team membership card?" Du Yuzhi asked.

Xu Fugui nodded, pretending to go into the house to look for it, but actually took out two certificates from the space and handed them to her.
