I am Fugui

Chapter 19 Tastes Better Than Grandpa's
Walking out of Wang's Restaurant, I suddenly found that the rain outside had become much lighter. The drizzle was mixed with the white mist, covering Yunxi County.

There were muddy puddles left in the potholes of Qingshiban Street, and a faint stench came from nowhere, which made Xu Fugui frowned slightly.

"Master, where are you going? Do you want to take a rickshaw?" A driver wearing a straw hat came over and asked with an apologetic smile.

Xu Fugui stretched out his hands and laughed at himself: "Look at me, do you think I can afford a rickshaw?"

The coachman sighed, turned and left, and said to himself: "It's getting harder and harder to live in this world."

Xu Fugui took this very seriously. Regardless of the calmness of Yunxi County, there are at most some pickpockets wandering around the county.

But as the South takes the lead in tearing up the negotiated agreement, there will be another wave of waves on this land.

Although Yunxi County is not the location of the battlefield, because of its traffic location, many troops will pass by here, coupled with the impact of the southern army's food and conscription, life in the county will become more and more uncomfortable.

In the previous life, Xu Fugui was captured by a passing army and used as a strong man to pull a cannon.

"Tick!"

A drop of rainwater fell on his face from the eaves. When he came back to his senses, he wiped the rainwater off his face and secretly reminded himself that when the southern troops entered the city, try not to come to the city as much as possible.

There was a hail of guns and bullets on the battlefield. In my previous life, I was lucky. I stayed on the battlefield for several years and escaped death. Finally, I came back safely.

But when she came back, Fengxia became deaf and dumb because of a high fever, and Xu's mother was also depressed.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore, since he already knew the script of his future life, he must try to avoid it as much as possible and change the result of his family in the previous life.

It is not easy to change the general trend of history, but changing the small trend of his family should not affect anything.

Although Yunxi County is not comparable to the provincial capital, it still takes a lot of time to walk from Wang's Restaurant to the east of the city.

All rich people usually choose to take rickshaws when they go out, including Xu Fugui in the past, who travel in either sedan chairs, rickshaws, or brothel girls.

The old man Chen Liping's status in the county is not low. After all, he is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he is not the richest, he controls the rice business and has greater influence.

His mansion is located in the bustling east of the city, with three entrances and three exits. The gate is vermilion, and there are also two stone lions in front of the mansion.

Before arriving at the Chen Mansion, Xu Fugui hesitated nearby, never daring to knock on the door of the Chen Mansion.

He mustered up his courage again and again, but as soon as he got close to the two stone lions, he turned back immediately.

After thinking about it, he simply went to the main street again and quietly went to the biggest rice shop in Chen Ji to have a look.

Chen Liping happened to be making plans in there, he was relieved, it was fine if he was not at home.

He happily came to the Chen Mansion, gently picked up the copper ring and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A servant opened the door, recognized him, and showed a strange expression, "Master Xu?"

Xu Fugui rubbed his hands, nodded, "I'm here to find Jiazhen."

The servant crossed his arms and squinted at him, "My master ordered you not to be allowed in."

Xu Fugui bowed his head, "Please, please do me a favor."

The servant's eyes were even more disdainful, "If you can't do it, you can't, get out, don't bother my lady, who in the county doesn't laugh at you? Isn't it bad enough that you have hurt my lady? Waste!"

After finishing speaking, just as he was about to close the door, a clear and loud voice suddenly sounded, "Don't bully my father!"

Fengxia ran over from behind, pushed the servant away forcefully, opened her hands to protect his face, her eyes puffed up, and said sharply: "You are not allowed to say my father!"

"Fengxia." Xu Fugui grinned instantly, feeling a sense of security in his daughter.

"Father, don't be afraid, I won't let others bully you." Feng Xia said seriously.

The servant was a little at a loss, "Miss, you, it would be bad if you let the master know, come in with me."

Feng Xia stared at him, "I'm not a young lady, I don't want to be a young lady, I just want a father!"

After finishing speaking, two tears ran down her face, she turned around and hugged Xu Fugui's thigh, "Father, I miss you so much."

Xu Fugui's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, he hugged Fengxia, and gently patted her on the back, "Dad is here, dad is here."

Jiazhen walked out at some point. She was wearing a water-red cheongsam, her hair was coiled up with a silver hairpin, and she didn't wear any makeup, but she seemed to have a natural beauty, with pretty eyebrows and a small mouth, and her almond eyes were even more watery.

Although the belly is straight, it can still make people feel a ladylike temperament.

Jiazhen glanced at the father and daughter who were embracing each other, dismissed the servants with a few words, and walked over with her waist supported.

"Jiazhen." Xu Fugui smiled foolishly, "This dress really suits you."

Jiazhen pursed her lips, held the silk scarf in her hand, and said softly, "I've been waiting for you."

"So here I am."

Jiazhen grinned happily, showing two rows of neat white teeth, "Come in and talk."

When she came to the main room and sat on the grand teacher's chair, Jiazhen took a look at his drenched clothes, called the servants, found Chen Liping's clean clothes for him to change into, and poured a cup of hot tea.

"I don't know if it's raining. What if I catch a cold? My parents expect you to take care of me."

She held the silk clothes in her own hands, "Fengxia, come down, let your father change the clothes."

Fengxia shook her head, put her arms around her neck, "I don't, I want daddy to hug me."

Xu Fugui chuckled, "Fengxia, tell Dad to change your clothes first, don't get your clothes wet."

Fengxia was wearing a white brocade dress, her face was washed clean, her hair was tied into a shofar braid, and anyone who saw it would praise her for being a beautiful girl.

"Change it on, don't worry, my father used to wear this clothes when he was young, so he hasn't worn them for a long time." Jiazhen handed over the clothes.

Xu Fugui took off his soaked clothes in front of her. After half a month, his muscles became leaner and his skin became a healthy wheat color.

Jiazhen glanced shyly, lowered her head, and couldn't help but glance again.

"After all, I'm not used to wearing silk clothes." Xu Fugui moved his body awkwardly, and carefully took out the roast duck wrapped in parchment paper, "Hey, I bought it specially for you and Fengxia."

"Wow, roast duck!" Fengxia cried out happily, sitting on Xu Fugui's lap, reaching out to get it.

Jiazhen's eyes were full of distress, "Why are you willing to spend this money? We can just buy it ourselves if we want to eat. Anyway, my father is rich, and so are you, Fengxia. Has your grandfather not given you enough food these two days?"

Fengxia tore a piece of duck meat and put it near Xu Fugui's mouth, then turned her head and said seriously: "But this is bought for me by my father, it is more delicious than the one bought by my grandfather."
