I am Fugui

Chapter 184 Preparations Before Traveling
in the afternoon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Fugui put down the newspaper, went into the house and took out a canvas raincoat to put on his body, put on a straw hat, and walked into the drizzle.

He likes rainy days very much, but he only likes rainy days when he stays indoors. Once he wants to go out on rainy days, his mood will be particularly bad.

But when he thought of picking up Jiazhen and Fengxia, his mood immediately improved again.

"Sorry..."

The black horse also seemed to be used to the daily pick-up task, so he stood up from the stable in time, flicked the ponytail, and snorted at him.

The stable is currently occupied by black horses, and the other two brown horses are borrowed by villagers to carry goods, doing heavy work.

So relatively speaking, the life of a dark horse is easy and comfortable. You only need to run back and forth twice a day, and you should sleep and eat.

Maybe it was because of the rain outside, the black horse didn't want to move too much, when Xu Fugui went to hold the rein, it shook its head slightly in resistance, and snorted again.

Xu Fugui smiled, seeing that there was no one around, he took out two carrots from the space and put them near the horse's mouth, stroked the horse's head, and said patiently: "Being a cow is like a horse, and there are people to take care of you. Don't be careless, let's go, let's go."

The black horse seemed to understand. After eating two carrots, he walked out of the stable on his own initiative.

Xu Fugui glanced at the horse's hoof, it was a little old, and planned to repair it later.

"drive!"

Turning on the horse, he shook the reins lightly, and the black horse started to trot immediately, splashing the mud on the country road onto the weeds by the roadside.

The surrounding mountains and forests move back, and in the next period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to ride a horse for a long time.

Passing the nameless river, I saw a group of people wearing straw hats squatting in front of a piece of wasteland, probably Laishun and Chen Yunsheng.

Xu Fugui said hello, and rushed straight to the county without stopping.

When he came to the county seat, it was still early, so he first repaired the four iron hooves of the black horse.

Fortunately, the four hooves were not infested with insects, no bleeding or pus, but a little worn out, so the iron hooves should be replaced.

When she came to the gate of the elementary school, Fengxia rushed over as usual, and called out to her father very loudly.

Her classmates also knew him, and they all called Uncle Xu, with some expectations in their eyes.

Xu Fugui hugged Fengxia with a smile, and said to Zhou Wei's child, "Oh, Uncle Xu didn't have candy on him today."

"It's okay, Uncle Xu, we don't like sweets."

These dolls are very sensible, and immediately blushed and said.

Riding the horse again, the horse's hooves fell on the stone road, making a crisp sound.

"Jiazhen, are you unhappy?" Xu Fugui asked on the way.

In the past, Jiazhen always smiled when she saw him, but today she was uncharacteristically, her expression was obviously downcast.

Jiazhen shook her head, her voice was very low, "I just thought you were leaving tomorrow."

"Haha, it's not like I won't come back after I left, so what are you worried about?"

Jiazhen looked up at him, "You are heartless."

"Father, I told my classmates that you are going to take the train to the provincial capital, and they all said that you are amazing." Fengxia looked proud, then lowered her head, "Father, when are you going to come back?"

Xu Fugui wasn't sure, "I should be able to come back during the Chinese New Year. Daddy will write you a letter. Fengxia must obediently obey Mother's orders. Daddy will buy you a beautiful little dress and come back."

Fengxia nodded happily, children are seldom sentimental, they put their emotions on their faces.

Riding a horse, the cold wind hit his face and penetrated through his neck, Xu Fugui hugged Fengxia tightly, "Jiazhen, I just won't be able to send you and Fengxia to school in the future."

Jiazhen shook her head, "What's the matter, just walk with the children in the village."

When she got home, Liu Cuiping immediately took out the crispy meat. Fengxia had been a lady of the Xu family for four or five years, so she had eaten crispy meat, so she shook her head and ate it immediately.

It seemed to be to see him off, and the dinner was quite sumptuous.

Fragrant white rice, steaming egg drop soup, golden crispy meat, oily and fragrant cabbage fried bacon, and Jiazhen and Fengxia's favorite salted duck eggs.

"Laishun, how does it feel to be a branch secretary?" At the dinner table, Xu Fugui asked casually.

Laishun chuckled, "It feels the same as before, but I still prefer that they call me Laishun, and it's awkward to call the branch secretary."

"I'll get used to it in the future, Dad, if you find teaching at night school too tiring, you can rest at home, and I'll think of other ways."

Xu's father snorted softly, "Tired is a little tired, but as a teacher, for the sake of the people of Xujia Village, it doesn't matter if I am a little tired. Your father and I are not ignorant people."

Xu Fugui muttered: "Come on, I don't know you yet, don't I just want to hear others call you Mr.?"

"Fugui, why did you talk to dad? Dad is doing it for everyone's benefit, otherwise, who would want to do it with the seven yuan subsidy?"

Xu's father was also subsidized as an evening school teacher, seven yuan and fifty cents a month, paid by the village finance.

Xu's mother laughed happily, "It's still my son who understands Lao Tzu and is a good example to others. You burned incense and worshiped Buddha without embarrassing Fugui. How much ink do you have in your belly? How can I not know?"

Father Xu snorted again, "Your mother and I have nothing to say, it's still Jiazhen's understanding."

After dinner, the drizzle outside also stopped, Xu Fugui stood in the yard smoking a cigarette, and went back to the house, but Jiazhen was nowhere to be seen.

Walking to the sleeping room, the parents were indeed inside, two crate boxes were opened, Jiazhen was checking the luggage, and there was something wrapped in a red cloth on the table beside her.

He lifted the red cloth and saw that it was covering the radio.

"Jiazhen, you don't mean to put all the radios in for me, do you?" Xu Fugui said speechlessly.

"Oh, we don't listen to it, and we don't understand it. It's better to let you take it away." Jiazhen stuck out her tongue.

Xu Fugui hurriedly stopped, "Let's forget it, if someone steals it outside, I won't feel so bad."

Jiazhen thought that this was the truth, so she stopped insisting.

But she took out the wooden box where the money was hidden, opened it, and took out a stack of RMB. Xu Fugui held her hand, "You don't need any money at home?"

Jiazhen's almond-shaped eyes widened, "It's always good to have more money when you're away from home."

Xu Fugui kissed her lips lightly, "You forgot, I have a lot of gold bars."

After finishing speaking, he took out two gold bars, "You find a place to hide them, I'm not at home, if you need money for something, you can ask Laishun to go to the black market and exchange the gold bars for money."

Jiazhen thought for a while, took the gold bar, looked it over carefully, and asked in surprise, "Why are there teeth marks on it?"

"Hey, I bit it."

Jiazhen carefully hid the gold bars, and then continued to pack his luggage, thin clothes, thick clothes, sheets, quilts and towels, Xu Fugui said enough is enough, he has many things in his space...
