I am Fugui

Chapter 34 The Generous Father-in-Law

The whole morning, Jiazhen just sat quietly in the private room on the second floor, watching the busy figure below.

Chen Jiaming ate half a roast duck, and he couldn't eat anymore. He was bored, so he left first and said he would come back at noon.

At noon, the lo mei was sold out. Fugui and Laishun sat on the ground to rest. Jiazhen took Fengxia and asked the servants to go down with the package.

Xu Fugui was telling Laishun a dirty story he had heard before, "The magistrate of the county went to the provincial capital for many days, and after he came back he did that kind of thing with his concubine. When I came back from the city, I felt like a different person. "

"Because of these words, the county magistrate stayed up all night, wondering if he was praising him."

Laishun looked at him ignorantly, "And then?"

Xu Fugui spread his hands, "It's over."

Laishun touched his bald head, "What does that mean, young master, just tell me, I don't understand."

Xu Fugui laughed loudly, and a gentle and familiar voice came, "Bah, shameless."

He immediately sat up from the ground as if he had been hit by an electric current. Seeing the delicate beauty with a big belly behind him, he patted his clothes awkwardly, but the oil stains on his body could not be wiped off no matter what.

"Young Mistress, you are here." Laishun stood up and said happily.

Jiazhen nodded with a smile, and took out the food box, "You guys are hungry, come and eat."

Inside the food box were the meals she ordered at Wang's Restaurant. Apart from the leftover roast duck, there were a few other signature dishes, exuding bursts of heat and fragrance.

Laishun consulted his young master for his opinion.

"Look at what I'm doing. Jiazhen told you to eat, so you just eat. Didn't you yell that you were hungry a long time ago?"

Laishun then took the food box and said with a smirk, "I'm waiting to eat with the young master."

Jiazhen took two steps forward, and wiped the sweat off Xu Fugui's face with the silk scarf in her hand.

"No, I just wipe it casually, so don't get dirty with such a good silk scarf." Xu Fugui said.

Jiazhen frowned and said softly, "Come here."

Xu Fugui didn't dare to refuse, Jiazhen wiped his face lightly, pursed her lips and said, "I didn't bring any water out, my mouth was dry, and also, I don't know if it's cold, and I don't know how to wear more .”

Xu Fugui smiled. He also wanted to wear more clothes, but he thought that he was doing rough work anyway, so it would be bad if he got his good clothes dirty.

Just like the clothes he was wearing, they were full of oil stains and looked dirty.

"If I knew you were coming, I would wear nice clothes." Xu Fugui muttered.

Jiazhen looked at him amusedly, and tiptoed to wipe off the hot pepper on his forehead, "Why, are you still shameless?"

Seeing that the two ignored her, Fengxia inserted herself between them, opened her hands, "Father!"

Xu Fugui took two steps back, shook his head, "Father is dirty, don't hug him."

Fengxia was wronged in an instant, only hearing him say the word "no hug", her eyes turned red rapidly, and tears rolled down inside.

Xu Fugui knelt down distressedly, and comforted him: "Wait for Dad to change his clothes, okay? Then I will hug you."

"Father, do you dislike Fengxia?"

Xu Fugui was distressed and funny, "Why would daddy not like Fengxia? Look, daddy left eggs for Fengxia. The marinated eggs, do they look like Fengxia's eyes?"

Fengxia laughed, and took the egg, "Fengxia's eyes are not so ugly."

Jiazhen asked the servants to hand over the package, "Fugui, take these things back home, some belong to parents and Changgen, don't make a mistake."

Xu Fugui took the package, very heavy, "What's inside?"

"It's nothing, the weather has changed, I bought a few pieces of foreign cloth, thick clothes and quilts for my parents, and you also have them."

Xu Fugui grinned, "Jiazhen, it's still you who are thoughtful, but don't run out all the time, you have a big belly, our family is fine."

Jiazhen snorted softly, "Talk to my father, that's enough, put on your clothes, let's eat first, your hungry belly is sunken."

Xu Fugui patted his firm abdominal muscles, "I'm really hungry, I'll change my clothes when I get back, I'm not cold now."

"It's such a cold day, you just wear a single piece of clothing, how can you not be cold?"

"It's not cold, otherwise I wouldn't be sweating."

Jiazhen had nothing to do with him, so she asked him to follow her to the private room on the second floor, and take what was in the food box for her parents to eat.

"Jia Ming came over too, couldn't stay longer, went out to play, and kept talking about going pheasant hunting with you."

Xu Fugui helped her up the stairs, "It's cold, pheasants are hard to hunt, but sparrows are good."

"You're just like him, that's what you like to play with."

Sitting in the private room, Xu Fugui and Laishun picked up the bowls and chopsticks, put the hot dishes on top of the rice, and shoveled them into their mouths, as if they had never eaten.

Jiazhen brought him a cup of tea, her eyes were a little distressed, this is how hungry she is.

"Jiazhen, Fengxia, you can eat too." Fugui said vaguely.

Jiazhen nodded slightly, and gave him a piece of elbow meat, telling him to slow down so he wouldn't choke.

After filling his stomach with some food, Xu Fugui slowed down and asked what Jiazhen was doing recently.

Jiazhen said that she was fine at home, so she made clothes for Fengxia and the baby in her stomach.

In fact, she also wanted to do it for Fugui, but Chen Liping would not be happy if she saw it, so she had to buy ready-made foreign cloth clothes.

However, if it is done outside, how can it be as comfortable as the one made by yourself?
"How's business going?" Jiazhen asked with concern.

Laishun grinned, and said first: "Young Mistress, business is doing well. Yesterday I earned one silver dollar, and today I have more. Although there are not two silver dollars, it is almost the same."

Jiazhen was also happy, showing a row of neat and white teeth, and said: "Then don't tire yourself out, it's not worth it when you are exhausted."

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Fugui wanted to burp, but thought that this was not his home, so he held back.

Dazzlingly seeing the object on Fengxia's neck, she asked curiously, "Longevity lock? Or is it gold, given by the old man?"

Feng Xia nodded her head as if pounding garlic, "Grandpa is doing well."

Xu Fugui smacked his lips twice, "My father-in-law is really willing, Fengxia, you have to hide it well, or someone will snatch it away."

After chatting for a while, Jiazhen saw that it was almost time, and she was afraid that Chen Liping would worry about her, so she prepared to go back.

Xu Fugui sent her to the rickshaw, gave the cabbage brought by the family to the servants, and then told the driver to slow down and be steady.

"Father, mother and I are still coming to see you." Fengxia sat in the rickshaw, waving her hands vigorously.

The county town was over, and few people came and went on the street. Xu Fugui bought [-] catties of rice and went home with Laishun.

He really doesn't want to eat sweet potatoes anymore, fragrant rice is his favorite.
