I am Fugui

Chapter 203 Father is not coming back

"Hoohoo."

The cold wind mixed with rain was blowing through the streets and alleys of Yunxi County. Pedestrians on the road wrapped their cotton clothes tightly, lowered their hats, and walked quickly.

The weather was gloomy, and there was no sunlight slanting down. There were small vendors on the side of the road who started selling firecrackers, and there were endless shouts.

Compared with before, Yunxi County is much more lively, a thriving scene.

Cloud Creek Elementary School.

Jiazhen sat on the podium with a faint smile, looking at the children below who were writing hard for the final exam, the thoughts in her heart had already flown out of the window.

At some point, a bell rang, and she suddenly came back to her senses. She stood up and asked everyone to stop writing, and she went down to collect the papers herself.

"Fengxia, you can play in the classroom for a while, and mother will go to the moral education office to pass the papers."

After finishing speaking, Jiazhen went straight to the Education Office and put the finished papers on the table. Seeing that the school had no other arrangements, she went back to the classroom and assigned winter homework to the excited children.

She doesn't assign too much homework for the winter vacation, and it can even be said to be very little. The main content is endorsement. After all, some children are reluctant to buy paper and pen.

After announcing the news of the holiday, the group of children rushed out immediately, and all of them waved their hands to say goodbye to Teacher Chen when they passed the podium.

Feeling the enthusiasm of these children, Jiazhen looked at them with a smile, and said goodbye to them gently.

After sending all the students away, Fengxia had a chance to join them.

Jiazhen squatted down, put on her scarf, and asked softly, "Is it cold?"

Today Fengxia is wearing a bright red cotton padded jacket, a white wool felt hat, a red scarf around her neck, and even red gloves, looking extremely festive.

Fengxia shook her head, hugged her arm, and just said a word, then let out a breath of air, "Mother, is dad coming back?"

After finishing speaking, it seemed that she was afraid that Jiazhen would not understand, and added: "Didn't you say that Dad will come back when I am on vacation?"

Jiazhen was stunned for a moment, then pinched her blushing face, "You girl, how do you remember these words so clearly?"

Fengxia tilted her head, and said crisply: "Could it be that mother lied to me?"

Jiazhen patted her head, "Mother never said that your father will definitely come back."

"Hmph, mother is lying, I want daddy! I want daddy!"

As she said that, Feng Xia had already begun to cry, and Jia Zhen hurriedly comforted her, "Your father will definitely come back. After the Chinese New Year, everyone will go home."

Feng Xia lowered her head, "But I just want Dad to come back now, I haven't seen Dad for a long time."

Jiazhen held her hand, "Come on, let's go see if your father has written."

When Fengxia heard this, she ran straight away, holding Jiazhen's hand and rushing forward, Jiazhen quickly told her to slow down.

As soon as she walked out of the classroom, a gust of cold wind blew in front of her, and all the air came out. Jiazhen was wearing a high-quality cotton jacket, but even so, her neck shrank from the cold.

The two were walking on the stone-paved road. Many people knew Jiazhen and called Teacher Chen enthusiastically.

Jiazhen responded with a smile, she could basically call out her name, and she has always had a good memory.

"Mother, look at him so pitiful." Turning a corner, Fengxia suddenly stopped, pointing to the front and said.

Looking in the direction of her finger, a candied haws seller was shouting loudly.

Jiazhen looked at her puzzled, "Why is he so pitiful?"

Fengxia looked at her with big clear and bright eyes, "Look, he has so many candied haws and no one buys them for him. He must be very tired. It's still so cold."

Jiazhen tapped her forehead lightly, "You girl, if you want candied haws, just say so, you have to beat around the bush every time."

Fengxia was serious and said: "I don't like candied haws, I just want to help him. Dad said that when you are outside, you should do good to others, and you can help if you can."

Jiazhen looked at her with a half-smile, "I really don't like candied haws, so my mother will leave."

Feng Xia hurriedly hugged her leg, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's actually quite delicious to eat a bunch once in a while."

"Occasionally eat a bunch? I remember you only ate it three or four days ago."

Even so, Jiazhen went over and bought two bunches of candied haws, one for Fengxia and one for Youqing.

"Mother, you can eat too." Fengxia lifted the candy wrapper and handed over the first candied haws.

Jiazhen stretched out her mouth and bit one, took her hand and continued walking forward, saying vaguely: "Fengxia, you have to eat less sugar, if you eat your teeth, Daddy won't love you anymore."

Fengxia inherited Xu Fugui and had beautiful white teeth. Every time she grinned, others would compliment her.

Of course, Jiazhen's teeth are also very beautiful. The two rows of teeth are neat and tidy, and she smiles very gently.

Feng Xia snorted, "Father loves me the most."

All the way to Chen's mansion, knocked on the door, Aunt Chen opened the heavy door, happily called Jiazhen Fengxia, and quickly let them in.

"Grandpa!"

Entering the main room, Fengxia immediately ran over on two legs, her two braids dangling.

"Hehe, Fengxia, it's freezing, come warm up." Chen Liping said with a smile, and there was a brazier not far in front of him.

The ventilated area around the main room is blocked by screens, so it is much hotter than outside.

"Is Fengxia on vacation? Would you like to spend a few more days here with grandpa?"

Feng Xia is a clever little ghost, "I listen to mother, by the way, grandpa, did my father write a letter?"

Xu Fugui would write a letter every ten days and a half. The letter was sent from the provincial capital to Wenchang Bus Station, and then asked to pick up the letter on behalf of Xiaozhong. When he returned to Yunxi County, he sent it to Chen's residence.

So every time Jiazhen came to ask Chen Liping, she wrote to Fugui herself as well, she first gave it to Chen Liping, Chen Liping handed it over to Dai Xiaozhong, and Dai Xiaozhong sent it from Wenchang area to the provincial capital.

Perhaps, after the post office opens the road from the provincial capital to Yunxi County, writing letters will be much more convenient.

"Haha, I've been talking about your father all day long." Seeing Fengxia shaking her arm constantly, Chen Liping said helplessly, "I wrote it, now, take it and read it yourself."

Feng Xia took the envelope and read it impatiently. As soon as she opened it, she was surprised and said: "Father's handwriting has become more beautiful again, even more beautiful than Feng Xia's handwriting."

After finishing speaking, she began to read word by word. She is very talented in learning. Even though she is only in the second grade, she already has a lot of literacy.

She knows most of the words in the letter, and even if she doesn't know a few words, it doesn't affect her understanding of the meaning of the sentence.

After reading most of the letter, Feng Xia burst into tears suddenly, and two tears appeared on her flushed face.

Jiazhen asked her what was wrong, and she was worried that something had happened to Fugui in the provincial capital, but Fengxia said, "Father said he won't come back!"

Chen Liping stared, "Is this kid fascinated by the colorful world of the provincial capital and doesn't want to come back?"

"Father, Fugui is not such a person."

With that said, Jiazhen took the letter and read it by herself.
