I am Fugui

Chapter 179 Eighteen Gold Bars

Chen House.

Chen Liping sent these old friends out of the house, returned to the main room with his long gowns and crutches, sat on the Taishi chair, and let out a long breath.

Picking up the gold-rimmed porcelain cup on the table and taking a sip of tea, he glanced at the gifts on the table from the corner of his eye, and said calmly, "These are all good people, and they probably contain good things."

Xu Fugui nodded and told him about the gold bars.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a big deal to send six gold bars to each person. These old fellows have shed a lot of blood just to get in touch with you."

"It's a pity, they don't know that the world has changed, and the old ways of the past don't work now."

As he said that, Chen Liping shook his head, suppressed the feeling of sadness in his heart, and asked, "Fugui, will taking these things affect you? The New Rabbit Organization seems to be unreasonable."

Xu Fugui deliberately looked at him with puzzled eyes, "Father, isn't it just some cigarettes and tea, what effect can it have?"

Chen Liping stared at him twice, then turned his head away, "You just know what you have in mind."

Xu Fugui pushed the box containing the tea leaves over, "Father, this tea looks really good, you have time to brew it and try it."

Xu Fugui pushed back the tea leaves, and said lightly, "I don't lack these three melons and two dates."

Xu Fugui was speechless and didn't force it. The Chen family has a great career, so these ten or so gold bars really shouldn't be taken seriously.

He took a sip of tea, took out the cigarettes, tea leaves, and the gold bars in the red wine. Eighteen small yellow croakers were neatly stacked on the black table.

Xu Fugui rubbed his hands, and picked them up one by one to check the authenticity.

Tsk tsk tsk, the real big boss really paid a lot of money, a total of eighteen gold bars, almost Long Er's lifetime wealth.

Chen Liping saw him falling into the eyes of money, and rolled his eyes angrily, "As for it, I think your Xu family was also a famous landlord back then, with more than ten gold bars."

"Hey, dad, you don't understand this. My family really didn't have so many gold bars before. We are not business owners. We can't sell for much money all year round relying on those acres of land."

What this said was true. Although the local landlord was stable, the money he received was indeed inferior to that of the merchants in the city.

After confirming that each gold bar was genuine, he vacated the cigarette box and put all the gold bars in it, preparing to find a chance to put them in the space later.

Picking up the free cigar, he curiously took out one.

Much thicker than ordinary cigarettes, about the thickness of a thumb, brown in color, and smells strongly of tobacco.

Xu Fugui recalled the plot he had seen on TV before, and asked his servants to bring a pair of scissors, cut off a piece, lit it with a match, and took a few deep breaths.

"Cough cough."

After taking two puffs, Xu Fugui was choked and coughed continuously. He didn't expect the cigar to be so strong, stronger than the local dry tobacco.

After smoothing his breath, he smoked two more puffs, gradually getting used to the taste of the cigar, and unexpectedly found that the taste was not bad.

Turning around and seeing Chen Liping looking at him, he passed a cigar over, "Dad, try it?"

Chen Liping turned his head, "It's no good to enjoy it, let's eat right away, don't let Jiazhen and the others wait for you."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the backyard leaning on crutches.

After he walked out of the main room, Xu Fugui put the cigar box containing the gold bars into the space, then, with the cigar in his mouth, he strode towards the backyard.

"Brother, what are you smoking?" Walking into the backyard, Laishun looked at the cigar in his mouth, and immediately leaned over to sniff it.

Chen Jiaming stood up and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, "Is this a cigar? I used to smoke it in the provincial capital."

"It's hard to buy this thing, it's only found in foreign countries, brother-in-law, where did you get it?"

Xu Fugui brought them a box of cigars alone, "Hey, that's all, it will be gone after smoking, and return it to me if you are not used to it."

Chen Jiaming chuckled, "That can't be done." Then he took out a cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully.

Laishun wasn't so particular, he just struck a match and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Well, good stuff." Lai Shun breathed out a circle of his lungs, exhaled a large cloud of white smoke, and said very seriously while looking at the cigar in his hand.

"Father, I want to breathe smoke too."

Youqing ran over, hugged his calf and said.

Before Xu Fugui could speak, Jiazhen immediately warned, "Youqing, you can't learn from your father."

Youqing turned his head and said stubbornly, "Why can't I be like my father?"

Jiazhen said casually, "If you smoke, you can't study. Do you still want to go to school with your sister?"

Youqing's chubby little face was full of tangles, and finally let go of his calf in silence, "I want to go to school with my sister."

Jiazhen comforted: "Children are not allowed to smoke. When you grow up, mother will not care what you want."

"Why can't children smoke?" You Qing asked.

Jiazhen froze for a moment, "Anyway, children are not allowed to smoke. If you don't believe me, ask your father."

Facing Youqing's suspicious eyes, Xu Fugui exhaled a puff of white smoke, "Your mother is right, the little baby can't smoke, and Xiao Shan will come to him when he smokes."

"I don't want Xiao Shan to come to me!" You Qing shivered, hugged his leg quickly, and looked around vigilantly, for fear that there was Xiao Shan hidden around.

Xu Fugui patted his head, "I'm afraid, please, do you know what Xiaoshan looks like?"

Xiaoshan is their local name for a kind of ghost. Adults like to use it to scare children. Over time, these children will be terrified when they hear the word Xiaoshan.

Xu Fugui also grew up listening to Xiaoshan's ghost stories when he was a child. He didn't know when he started to know that these were all scaring people, so he naturally stopped being afraid.

Youqing hugged his leg tightly, and vividly described what Xiaoshan looked like.

"Xiaoshan is very short, like a doll in his teens. He has no eyes, no nose and no mouth, but he has six hands. Wherever he goes, the house will catch fire."

Xu Fugui asked him curiously, "Son, have you really seen Xiaoshan?"

Xu Fugui shook his head, "Grandpa Chang Gen told me."

Xu Fugui laughed, Youqing looked up at him, "Father, does Xiaoshan look like this?"

"Haha, you'll know when you grow up. Daddy has never seen Xiaoshan. As long as Youqing obeys his parents, Xiaoshan won't dare to come to you."

"It's time to eat." Aunt Chen, who was wearing an apron, came over and shouted.

Everyone moved to the dining room. It was almost evening and the light was dim. There were several tung oil lamps burning in the dining room, clearly reflecting the sumptuous meals on the table.

After eating half full, Xu Fugui slowed down and asked casually, "Jiaming, what do you think about studying medicine?"

"Oh, brother-in-law, when I think of going to a foreign country thousands of miles away, I feel uneasy."
