I am Fugui

Chapter 167 Passionate Cui Hong and Fan Gang
early morning.

Thick fog filled the air.

Wan Lai was silent.

The dew hangs on the tip of the grass, the path is muddy, and a high-pitched cock crow suddenly resounds, breaking the tranquility of Xujia Village.

Although it was just dawn, few people continued to stay in bed. The industrious Xujia Villagers got up early to work while the weather was cool.

Otherwise, after the sun rises, the scorching sun will not dare to let people go out.

Xu Fugui pushed open the heavy wooden door, looked at the ray of red in the eastern sky, and couldn't help but slammed his mouth twice.

Hey, this is really weird for God.

A heavy rain came and went quickly last night. When I woke up, it was sunny again today.

It's sunny, the wet millet last night can be spread out on the sun-drying field to dry it well to avoid mold.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Father Xu walked in from outside the yard with square steps.

"Father, you ran to the entrance of the village to squat again?"

"Hmph, son still wants to control me?"

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes, the old man is becoming more and more difficult to serve, of course he just doesn't take care of him much.

"I'm showing filial piety to you. If you go out alone, you said you wouldn't know if you fell."

"Can't you expect me to get better? Besides, why am I struggling?" He was still stubborn, but his tone softened a lot.

Xu Fugui shrugged, didn't bother to say much, and went into the yard to stretch.

A heavy rain last night knocked down a lot of bamboo leaves in the yard, and spread them scattered in the yard. A scent of green grass mixed with soil wafted in the air.

Xu's father picked up the bamboo broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard. Seeing this, Xu Fugui made a gesture to take the broom in his hand.

Father Xu dodged his outstretched hand, "I'm not too old to do it."

Xu Fugui didn't force it, it's not bad to let the old man do something, it will save him from being idle all day long.

"Fugui, is Fengxia awake? Tell her to get up and eat." Jiazhen, who was tied to an apron, came out of the kitchen, still holding bamboo chopsticks.

Xu Fugui walked back to the house, Fengxia opened her mouth slightly, crystal saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her round belly rose and fell, Xu Fugui's heart melted at the sight.

Youqing's sleeping position on the side was quite rude, sprawled across the mat, with a thin quilt pressed under him, wearing only a pair of underpants.

Xu Fugui lightly, without disturbing Youqing, took Fengxia's dress and gently hugged Fengxia.

As soon as she left the bed, Fengxia woke up leisurely, rubbed her eyes, and when she saw clearly that it was him, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again, subconsciously hugging his arms with both hands.

"Fengxia, don't sleep, get up and eat, you don't want to go to the county to study?" Walking out of the house, Xu Fugui called softly.

"Father, but I'm so sleepy."

Xu Fugui was reluctant to wake him up, and sat on the bamboo chair, not disturbing Fengxia sleeping in his arms.

Jiazhen brought the food to the table, saw that Fengxia was still sleeping, and came over amusedly, and woke Fengxia up with a warm voice.

The child was lethargic, but once he woke up, he would wake up very quickly. Fengxia, who had put on a dress, ate fresh marinated eggs with big mouthfuls, shaking her head happily.

"Father, marinated eggs are my favorite." She said crisply.

Xu Fugui wiped the rice off her chin, "Eat it every day if you like it."

After dinner, Jiazhen combed Fengxia's hair, while Xu Fugui packed half a pig's head marinated yesterday with oiled paper, ready to send it to Du Yuzhi and Zhong Shouzheng.

Du Yuzhi talked about his family's lo-mei more than once. It happened that someone in Liujia Village was slaughtering pigs, so Xu Fugui bought two pig's trotters and a whole pig's head. Of course, he also bought a lot of fat and lean meat.

Most of them were smeared with salt and smoked to make bacon, and the pig's head and pig intestines were made into marinated goods by him.

After packing, Fengxia took her satchel, jumped out of the house, turned her head and shouted with a smile: "Father, mother, hurry up, I don't want to be late."

"Come on, come on, tell you to get up early and you won't listen."

Riding on the big black horse, as soon as he walked out of the stable, he met Chen Yunsheng's ox cart head-on.

There are fresh vegetables on the bullock cart, as well as a lot of eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, which are specially placed in rice bran to prevent them from being damaged.

In addition, there were several chickens and ducks with their legs tied, and a bucket of live fish. The chickens and ducks struggled and flapped their wings from time to time, but they couldn't escape.

"Fifth brother, send it to the state-run hotel so early today?"

The vegetables, chickens and ducks on the bullock carts are all given to the state-run restaurants. They are collected from each household, and the money will be distributed to them as well. This is also an important source of income for Xujia Village.

After confirming that the state-run restaurant is a long-term cooperation, many people are planning to increase feeding of chickens, ducks, fish and geese.

Chen Yunsheng stood next to the buffalo, nodded, and glanced at them enviously, "Secretary, have you eaten yet?"

I don't know when, Chen Yunsheng stopped calling him Fugui, but called him the branch secretary. Xu Fugui said it several times, but Chen Yunsheng didn't change it, so he left.

"I've eaten, then I'll go first, and I'll go to the state-run hotel later to have a look."

"Success, don't wait for me."

The speed of the ox cart was incomparable to the speed of riding a horse. Xu Fugui clamped the horse's belly, and the black horse trotted down the muddy road in the countryside, and disappeared at the entrance of the village after a while.

When they came to the county town and sent Fengxia and Jiazhen to school, Xu Fugui did not leave in a hurry, but stayed to see how Jiazhen and Fengxia were doing at school.

Although it hasn't been long since the start of school, the two seem to have fully adjusted to the change of status.

Fengxia hopped into the classroom by herself, and Jiazhen walked into the teacher's office unhurriedly, preparing for today's class.

After a while, the familiar janitor took out a hammer and a curved iron plate, and knocked hard a few times, which meant that the bell for class officially rang.

Xu Fugui stood outside the classroom, Fengxia sat at the back because of her stature, her back was straight, she read aloud the content on the blackboard, her eyes were clear and bright.

Perhaps because of a feeling in her heart, she glanced at the window, and when the father and daughter looked at each other, Fengxia showed a sweet smile, and her sitting posture was more correct.

At this time, Jiazhen walked into the classroom to prepare for class, Xu Fugui waved his hand, and left quietly, Fengxia's sweet smile was all in his mind.

The scene just now was the day he dreamed of in his previous life, and being able to hear Fengxia's voice every day was quite satisfying for him.

Now he works hard every day, and even plans to buy books to practice calligraphy, all in order to give his family a better life.

Leaving the classroom and walking on the playground, Cui Hong and Fan Gang walked over together, greeted him with enthusiastic smiles, and said they would show him around the school.

Xu Fugui froze for a moment, then waved his hands, "No, no, I'm not a leader, so there's no way I can let you stay with me."

Cui Hong and Fan Gang were indeed very enthusiastic. Xu Fugui greeted them for a while, asked about Jiazhen and Fengxia's situation, and then found an excuse to leave
