I am Fugui

Chapter 62 Taking Jiazhen Home

first day.

early morning.

All sounds are silent.

A gleam of light from the eastern horizon carefully infiltrates the light blue sky, and the naked eye can see that today is a good day.

When the first ray of morning light pierced through the mist, Xu Fugui, wearing a melon skin hat and a black coat, came out of the thatched cottage, followed closely by Laishun.

"Laishun, don't leave the bacon behind." Changgen chased him out, and put a piece of bacon and half a pheasant in a basket and handed them to him.

"Uncle Gen, let's go then." They were going to the county town to pick up Jiazhen and the child and go home.

The two walked out of the yard, and when they met Xu Fugui, they smiled and said, "Jiazhen is coming back."

The others froze for a moment, looked at his flushed face, and nodded amusedly.

The early morning wind was bitterly cold, Xu Fugui walked on the familiar dirt path, the soles of his feet were cold, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour.

In her previous life, Jiazhen walked back from the county seat by herself, dragging her luggage alone, holding Youqing who was still a baby, and walked back on a dirt road for more than ten miles.

Poor Jiazhen, I don't know how she persevered, and when she came back, she didn't cry out when she was tired or tired.

At that time, I didn't think so much, and I didn't know how to feel sorry for her.

"Fugui, come to the county to do business on the first day of the new year?" As soon as he arrived in the county, an acquaintance who often came to buy lo-mei greeted him.

Xu Fugui greeted her, and grinned back, "No, I'm here to pick Jiazhen up."

Not in a hurry to go to the Chen Mansion, Xu Fugui first came to the tea shop. Although it was the first day of the new year, the tea shop was still open.

He picked and chose, and bought a medium-grade tea, preparing to give it to his father-in-law for New Year greetings.

Although he can afford more expensive tea leaves, there are still twenty gold bars in the space, but he dare not be too ostentatious.

After buying the tea leaves and coming to the Chen Mansion, he knocked on the door as usual, and it was the servant who opened the door.

"Why is it you again?" The servant rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said in a low voice, "Master is at home, hurry up and go."

"I'm here to pick Jiazhen home."

The servant tilted his head and thought for a while, "Then I'll go and talk to Miss."

He turned and left, but after a while, he came back carrying a wicker box, followed by Jiazhen Fengxia.

Jiazhen was holding a swaddling baby in her arms, wearing a water-red cheongsam, with a flat belly, no makeup on her face, delicate and graceful, with a faint smile on her mouth.

Fengxia took Jiazhen's hand, walked out bouncingly, and called out "Dad" excitedly.

"Fengxia." Xu Fugui agreed, picked her up, and touched her hand, which was warm and very warm.

"Is it cold?"

Fengxia shook her head, "It's not cold at all, it's dad who is cold, his whole body is icy cold."

"Father is blown by the wind."

"Will it be cold when the wind blows? Grandpa's legs would shake when he squatted in the pit. He also said it was the wind."

Xu Fugui smiled, "Fengxia has a really good memory."

Jiazhen glanced back, her lips moved slightly, "Fugui, let's go, let's go home."

Xu Fugui put Fengxia on the ground, and glanced behind her, "Where is Dad?"

"It's in the house." Jiazhen looked a little unnatural.

Feng Xia raised her head: "Grandpa said last night that if we leave, we will never come back again. Grandpa seems to be angry."

"Father said angry words." Jiazhen comforted him instead.

Xu Fugui walked towards the inside, "I still have to tell Dad when I leave, and wish Dad a New Year by the way."

Looking at his back, Jiazhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily and followed behind him.

Passing through a yard, came outside Chen Liping's house, "Father, let me wish you a New Year."

The room was silent for a while, and then a voice full of anger came out, "Don't call me daddy, I don't care about your things, get out!"

Jiazhen looked at her man worriedly, and found that his expression was normal, as if he was not the one being scolded.

Xu Fugui was not angry, and put the bacon and tea leaves on the steps in front of the house, "Father, I have no skills, so I brought you a piece of bacon and a catty of tea leaves. Don't dislike them."

"When I'm capable, I'll be filial to you. I'll take Jiazhen back, and I'll come to see you when I have time."

"Don't worry, I will never dare to wrong Jiazhen"

Xu Fugui wanted to say more, when the wooden door of the house was suddenly opened forcefully, and there was a loud bang.

Chen Liping glanced at the things in front of the door, didn't speak, just stared at him expressionlessly.

Xu Fugui felt a little guilty, he laughed apologetically, and called out to his father again.

"Don't call me dad." Chen Liping frowned in disgust.

Jiazhen couldn't help but speak for him, "Father, you are Fugui's father."

Chen Liping pointed at her, hating iron for being weak, "Turning your elbows out, you will never know what is good or bad, what good is it for you to follow this beast?"

When Jiazhen heard this, she instantly became upset, "Father, I don't allow you to say that."

"Jiazhen, don't say a few words." Xu Fugui stood in front of him, and he understood Chen Liping's mood very well.

Still the same sentence, think in another way, if Fengxia finds a son-in-law who is as ridiculous as he was before, not only will he speak more ugly words, but the fist as big as a sandbag will teach him how to behave.

Chen Liping waved his hands, "Okay, you guys go away quickly, don't come back later, I won't recognize you as a son-in-law, Jiazhen, and I don't have you as my daughter."

Jiazhen's eyes turned red in an instant, Chen Liping turned around cruelly, and slammed the wooden door tightly.

Xu Fugui opened his mouth, and said with some self-reproach: "Jiazhen, I'm sorry for you."

Jiazhen rubbed her eyes and forced a smile, "Fugui, let's go home, I miss my parents."

Xu Fugui nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's go home."

Leaving the Chen Mansion, the servants handed the crate to Laishun, Xu Fugui carefully hugged Youqing, Jiazhen led Fengxia, and the group of four started to leave.

When passing by Wang's Restaurant, Xu Fugui heard the familiar cries of Kang Baozi.

"Brother Kang, are you still out for business on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Xu Fugui walked over to say hello.

Kang Baozi wiped his hands, frowning, "Life is forcing, life is getting harder and harder, this is your son, right?"

Xu Fugui nodded, "Give me two vegetable buns and two meat buns, how much?"

"Don't worry about money, just treat it as my two children's food."

Kang Baozi skillfully took out four buns and handed them over. After Xu Fugui thanked him, he passed two meat buns to Jiazhen and Fengxia, and he and Laishun ate vegetarian buns.

"I want to take it back to my grandparents and grandpa root to eat." Feng Xia carefully held the bun in her hand.

Jiazhen didn't eat either, and patted her head with a smile, "Fengxia is so good."

Walking out of the county seat, Xu Fugui knelt down and patted his shoulder, "Fengxia, come and ride a horse."

Fengxia happily jumped over and sat on his neck. Xu Fugui stood up and walked steadily on the dirt road.
