I am Fugui

Chapter 61 I Miss Dad
Although there were only three dishes, everyone in the Xu family ate very happily. Pieces of bacon were poured into their mouths continuously. The vermicelli was served with rice, and a mouthful of bacon soup was not too comfortable.

"Fugui, why are you grinning while eating? What's so happy about it?" Mother Xu asked.

She didn't feel how good this New Year's Eve dinner was. Looking back at the time when Xu's family was still a landlord, the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was simply outrageous.

A big round table is full of dishes, and I don’t know what to eat. At that time, I would lose my appetite after just two bites.

The strange thing is that there are only three dishes tonight, but she is very happy to eat them. These three dishes seem to be better than big fish and meat.

Although there is no money now, the smell at home is getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Fugui swallowed the bacon in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Can you be unhappy eating meat?"

He is very satisfied with his current life. Although he is indeed short on food, clothing and housing, he is very full in his heart.

Especially when the family sits around the table and eats together, remembering that I was alone in the building in my previous life, and I have no appetite for the chicken, duck and fish at Table Mountain.

"Jiazhen will be back tomorrow." Father Xu asked.

"Well, I'll pick her up tomorrow morning."

Father Xu had a rare smile on his face, "When Jiazhen comes back, this family will be complete."

At the same time, the Chen Mansion in Yunxi County was brightly lit with lights.

Big red lanterns hung under the eaves, bringing faint light, and Spring Festival couplets were pasted on both sides of each door.

"boom!"

In the yard paved with bluestone slabs, Fengxia lit firecrackers, threw them out, and took two steps back skillfully to cover her ears, her delicate little face was full of excitement.

Jiazhen wore a plain white brocade robe and a sheepskin cloak, and said helplessly, "You damn girl, you dare to set off firecrackers."

Chen Liping hugged Youqing, who was still a baby, and shook him slightly, his gaze kept on Fengxia.

"Do you really want to go back tomorrow?" After a while, Chen Liping put away the smile on his face and asked blankly.

Jiazhen nodded lightly, "Fengxia also wants to go home."

"This is also Fengxia's home." Chen Liping said.

Jiazhen pursed her lips, "I know, Fengxia also likes being here very much, there are delicious food, fun things to do, and new clothes to wear."

"Then I won't leave tomorrow. Father will take care of your mother for the rest of her life."

Jiazhen said softly as always: "Father, we have to go back."

"Why do you go back? Enduring hardships? Fengxia is so young, are you willing to let her not have enough food and clothing all day long? So dirty that she can't read all day long?"

"I will teach her that Fugui can make Fengxia full."

"Unreasonable."

"Father, Fengxia cannot do without Fugui."

"What do children know, they will stop making trouble after a while."

Seeing Chen Liping getting more and more angry, Jiazhen lowered her eyes, "Father, let's not talk about this."

Chen Liping snorted coldly, and said angrily: "If you dare to go back to Xu's house, never come back, and I don't even recognize your daughter!"

Jiazhen was in a dilemma, she lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red.

"I have the same temper as your mother."

After finishing speaking, Chen Liping put Youqing in the arms of a servant beside him, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Jiazhen looked at his back and sighed, with some self-blame in her eyes.

"Sister, don't worry, dad is stubborn, so it's possible that he won't let you come back?" Chen Jiaming said carelessly, holding Fengxia's bamboo dragonfly in his hand.

Jiazhen wrapped the scarf around his neck, and said softly, "When sister is gone, you have to take good care of dad and don't make him angry anymore."

"You are the only incense in our Xu family. Please be more concerned about your studies. I don't ask you to carry forward the Chen family. Don't ruin the family business like your brother-in-law."

Chen Jiaming rolled his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know, don't hide your grievances at your brother-in-law's house, brother, I will help you out."

Jiazhen nodded his forehead amusedly, "I'm a big kid, you're the only one who can stand up for me, eat more food, and I'll be as tall as your brother-in-law in the future."

Chen Jiaming rolled his eyes and whispered, "Sister, I'll go back with you tomorrow, okay? My brother-in-law promised to take me to hunt pheasants."

"You tell dad, if dad agrees, I will take you there."

Chen Jiaming curled his lips, "Forget it, I will definitely be beaten again."

"Stay with dad at home. Besides, where are the pheasants in winter? I'll take you there when the weather is warmer."

She babbled a lot, Chen Jiaming was patient at first, but after a while he felt that it was meaningless, so he ran over to set off firecrackers with Fengxia.

Jiazhen glanced at Jiazhen, carried the sleeping Youqing back to the room, and started to pack her luggage under the light of the kerosene lamp.

She planned to just take away her and Fengxia's clothes.

"Mother, are we going home?" Fengxia walked in sweating profusely after setting off the firecrackers.

Jiazhen took out a silk scarf and wiped her sweat, then pulled her to sit by the brazier, "Why are you sweating so much, what should you do if you catch the cold?"

Fengxia moved a little away from the brazier, raised her head and asked again: "Mother, are we going home?"

"Yes, does Fengxia want to go home?"

Fengxia nodded heavily, "We have all stayed at grandpa's house for a long time, grandpa and grandma must miss me very much."

Jiazhen stroked her hair, "Isn't grandpa's house fun?"

Fengxia smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's fun, and there are a lot of delicious food, and grandpa is also very kind to me."

"Grandpa's place is so fun, can Fengxia stay here?" Jiazhen joked.

Fengxia shook her head like a rattle, "No, I miss my father."

Jiazhen touched her head, "Okay, then we'll go home tomorrow."

Feng Xia narrowed her eyes with a smile, wiped the sweat from her forehead, stood up and ran to the side of the bed, and leaned forward: "Is my brother asleep? My brother is so small, just so small, when will he grow up, Feng Xia?" Xia wants to play with him."

"Soon, when Fengxia is studying, my younger brother will grow up."

"Then I want to read now."

"You can't read now, you are too young."

After chatting with Fengxia for a while, Jiazhen packed her luggage and packed it in a wicker box.

"Fengxia, come here and wash your face and feet, and go to bed early so that you can grow taller."

"Why grow taller?"

"If you grow taller, you can go to study, and after studying, you can play with your younger brother."

"Then I want to grow taller quickly."

A servant brought a basin of hot water, Fengxia obediently took off her cloth shoes and socks, revealing a pair of chubby little feet.

After washing his feet, when he was about to go to bed, Youqing suddenly started crying, and Jiazhen touched his butt, and it was really wet.

He took off the dirty cloth, washed his butt, put on a new cloth, and after feeding his breast, Youqing fell into a deep sleep again.

Jiazhen cleaned the cloth, then blew out the kerosene lamp, and fell into a deep sleep next to Fengxia.
