I am Fugui

Chapter 173 The Nagging Father Xu

"Sister, is homework fun?"

Youqing was really bored by himself, so he couldn't help but ran to Fengxia, moved a wooden bench with difficulty, stood on it, leaned against the wooden table and asked.

Feng Xia took a look at him, and kept looking at the pencil in her hand, "Of course it's fun, reading is really interesting."

"How fun is it?" Youqing's eyes showed envy.

While Fengxia was doing her homework, she told him about interesting things that happened in school, Youqing's eyes were full of longing, "I will go to school when I grow up, sister, I will go to school with you in the future, and I will also ride a horse. "

Feng Xia nodded, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely let you go to study."

Youqing asked again: "Sister, are you good friends with everyone in the class?"

Fengxia tilted her head and thought for a while, "No, there are a few people I don't like to play with."

"Oh? Whose children are so unpleasant, and my Fengxia doesn't like to play with them." Xu Fugui walked in, just heard this sentence, came over and put Youqing on his lap, and asked with a smile.

Youqing obediently sat on his lap and listened carefully to Fengxia's words.

Feng Xia said: "Even those people in good clothes, I can't say anything bad about them, anyway, I feel uncomfortable staying with them."

"By the way, they asked me to join them, don't play with those poor people, hey, I don't care to play with them, what's wrong with the poor, the poorer the more glorious."

Xu Fugui looked at her in surprise, "The poorer you are, the more glorious you are? Fengxia, where did you learn these words?"

"I learned from my father, doesn't my father often say that?"

Xu Fugui laughed loudly, "Yes, it's what Dad said, the poorer you are, the more honorable you are."

"Father, what does glory mean?"

Xu Fugui was stunned for a moment, and coughed dryly, "You should ask your mother about this, she must know."

"Father, I want to study too." Youqing stood on his lap, put his arm around his neck, and said very seriously.

Xu Fugui touched his little bald head, "Okay, when Youqing grows up, he will go to school and become a cultural person in the future."

"I'm going to study tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, I'll send you to study tomorrow."

Xu Fugui said in a perfunctory way, children, just coax them, what they said today, they will be forgotten tomorrow.

"Father, how do you solve this problem?"

Fengxia held up the homework book, Xu Fugui took it over and looked at it, and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a math problem for the second grade. Although he is not well-educated, he can still add, subtract, and multiply, so he immediately explained it to Fengxia. .

"Fengxia, are you done with your homework? Let your father come over for dinner." After a while, Jiazhen's voice came from the yard.

"Let's go, let's eat."

Xu Fugui picked up Youqing, Fengxia closed her homework, followed behind and walked out.

"Wow, wang wang!"

The yellow dog Pingan barked suddenly, with the dog's head facing the door.

"Ping An, what are you barking at my dog, you don't recognize me?" Hu Xingwang walked into the house from the outside, with a pipe in his mouth.

"Prosperous, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, have you eaten so early?" Hu Xingwang asked with a little surprise.

It is generally late to eat in rural areas, especially in the summer, they basically eat in the evening, unlike the Xu family, they eat when the sun goes down.

Xu Fugui nodded, "Eat early, come in and sit down, Jiazhen, add a pair of chopsticks."

Hu Xingwang waved his hand, "No, no, there is cooking at home, I just ask you if you will be free the day after tomorrow."

Xu Fugui handed him a cigarette, "What's wrong?"

Hu Xingwang took the cigarette and put it on his ear, "The night after tomorrow, my family slaughters a pig, so come over to eat pig-killing rice."

"It's not a festival, why do you want to kill a pig all of a sudden?"

"My sister is getting married, and I thought about killing the pigs at home, using dozens of catties for the banquet, and selling the rest in the county town, and saving money to build a brick house."

Xu Fugui nodded, "Your sister is getting married? Is she an adult?"

"I just came of age this year, and my partner is from Osmanthus Village. The man is nice. By the way, you have to come to the branch secretary on the day of the wedding to help keep the accounts and receive gifts."

Xu Fugui's eyes widened, "This, this, is not in compliance with the rules."

When doing business in the countryside, people who are highly respected in the village will be invited to keep accounts and receive gifts. In the past, educated old people were invited. How can he do such a thing?
Hu Xingwang was very serious, "Secretary, my sister told me that I have to ask you to keep accounts. You are a secretary and educated."

Xu Fugui was eager to try, "Success, I will definitely go when the time comes."

Hu Xingwang walked outside, "Okay, then I'll go back, remember to come to eat pig-killing rice the day after tomorrow, the whole family will come."

Xu Fugui sent him out of the house, and then returned to the main room, where tonight's meal had already been placed on the big black round table.

"Hu Xingwang asked us to eat pig-killing rice?" Father Xu asked.

Xu Fugui nodded, and Xu's father said again: "You and Lai Shun will be fine, we are a big family, what will happen when we go?"

"Grandpa, I also want to eat pig-killing rice." Feng Xia said crisply.

Father Xu showed a smile on his face, "Fengxia is good, the rice with butchered pigs is not delicious at all, grandpa asked your second mother to cook bacon for you to eat."

Xu Fugui put a piece of fried egg in his mouth, "Sister Hu Xingwang is getting married, let me keep the account and receive gifts."

The smile on Xu's father's face was even bigger, "Okay, if I let you go, you are now a branch secretary, and you are literate, so you have the qualifications."

After eating, Xu's father pushed his hands together, hiccupped loudly, stood up on crutches, and said as usual: "I'm going to the entrance of the village for a walk."

"Father, I will accompany you."

Walking out of the house, although the sun is not there, the hot wind is still blowing in front of you, and the fire clouds spread in the sky layer by layer, as if the sky was ignited.

There is still a period of time before dark, and the villagers are busy working in the fields and mountains. The afternoon sun is too hot, so they dare not come out, so they must hurry up.

When they saw Xu's father on crutches, they all stopped by coincidence, greeted respectfully, and called Xu Fu's side secretary affectionately.

Father Xu obviously enjoyed everyone's respect, he kept smiling, his old face turned into a chrysanthemum, Xu Fugui leaned into his ear, "Father, do you think they greeted you for my sake? "

Father Xu blew his beard and slapped him on the calf with his cane, "Where did you get such a big face? I have been a landlord for decades. Who in the village has not received the favor of my Xu family?"

"Hmph, just one branch secretary made you proud? In the past, the branch secretary was the village chief, and the village chief had to follow me."

"Fugui, let me tell you, don't think that you are capable, the value of a person is self-knowledge."

Seeing that Xu's father wanted to continue nagging, Xu Fugui quickly stopped, "It's alright, are you always in the pit?"

Father Xu snorted coldly, "I get upset when I hear you talking."
