I am Fugui

Chapter 65
Returning to her room with the wooden box, Jiazhen whispered, "Mother gave me the property."

Holding Youqing who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Xu Fugui said indifferently, "I'll keep it safe if I give it to you. It's more convenient for me to manage the money. If you want to take the money, just take it."

Jiazhen handed over the wooden box, "Here, here you are."

"What are you doing for me? Mother asked you to keep it. If anyone in the family wants to use the money in the future, it won't work without your nod."

"It's not the same whether you care about me or me."

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I don't know how to manage money, I just want to use what I have."

Jiazhen immediately took the wooden box back, "Then I'll take care of the money."

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the wooden box, looked at the gold and silver inside, and couldn't stop smiling, "Fugui, we have a lot of money."

With money, my heart is at ease.

Xu Fugui gently put Youqing on the bed, "What's the big deal? In the past, our Xu family had so much money that we couldn't even count it."

Of course, their family is not short of money now, after all, there are a full twenty gold bars in his space.

But I dare not take it out and use it at present, and it is almost the same as not having it.

Jiazhen shook her head, "That's different. The money is our hard-earned money, so we can use it with peace of mind."

She walked around the room and said distressedly, "Where should I put it? What if someone steals it?"

In the end, she chose the same treatment method as Xu's mother, directly pressing it under the bed and covering it with a quilt.

After hiding it, she went out to wash the dishes with Xu's mother. Xu's mother seemed to have endless things to say, and kept telling her about the changes in the family.

In fact, nothing has changed. The thatched cottage is still the same, but compared to when they first moved here, they are already used to their current life.

At that time, my heart was not at ease, and the days had never been so dark, but now I feel that the days seem to be pretty good.

Although I was a landlord in the past, my life was not as fulfilling as it is now.

Xu Fugui walked out of the house, and carefully closed the bamboo door, so as not to wake up the sleeping Youqing.

"father."

Fengxia also changed into gray cotton clothes, with two braids on her head, and her hands were dirty somewhere.

Xu Fugui picked her up and washed her hands with hot water. After washing, Fengxia put her arms around his neck, "Father, take me to see the lamb, okay?"

"It's not a lamb anymore, it's bigger than you."

Xu Fugui carried him to the chicken shed in the yard. This simple bamboo peng was constantly reinforced by them, and chickens, ducks and sheep lived in it.

"Wow, how did the lamb grow so fast, it's even taller than me."

Feng Xia struggled and ran over, when she was about to hug her, she suddenly stopped, holding her nose, "Father, it stinks."

"Can it not be smelly, the ground is full of chicken and sheep dung."

Xu Fugui took out a bamboo broom. This kind of broom is made of bamboo branches tied together. It is very strong and suitable for sweeping pigpens.

Clean the chicken coop with a bamboo broom, but Fengxia still doesn't want to go in, she doesn't want to dirty the cloth shoes on her feet.

However, she still asked with great concern: "Father, is the lamb fed enough? Let's feed it again, shall we?"

"Okay." Xu Fugui took a bundle of pig fern from the side and threw it in front of the sheep with Fengxia.

The lamb seemed to recognize Fengxia, let out a baa, lowered its head and began to eat.

Fengxia stretched out her hands, and after being picked up, she sat in Xu Fugui's arms, happily watching the sheep grazing.

"Fugui, hang paper to visit the grave, do you want to go?" Father Xu shouted from inside.

The tradition here is to visit the tomb with hanging paper on the first day of the new year. They used to go in the morning, but today they postponed it to the afternoon because they went to pick up Jiazhen.

Of course, when he was the young master of the Xu family, he never went to hang papers to visit the tomb. He would either hang out in the county town or stay in bed.

Furious, Xu's father would scold him every New Year's Day.

"coming."

Xu Fugui agreed, and turned around to prepare things for grave-sweeping.

Father Xu was carrying a pannier, and Xu Fugui took it over to look, and found that all the grave-sweeping things were in it.

"That's all?" he asked.

In the back basket are two red candles, a few plates of yellow ghost paper, and a few white hanging papers.

He remembered that he used to prepare bacon, white wine, firecrackers and so on.

Even after Xu's father passed away in his previous life, every year when Xu Fugui went to visit the grave, he would take these things to show his filial piety.

Of course, these bacon and white wine will be eaten after worship, and waste is not dared to waste.

Father Xu folded his hands, "Do you think it was still the time when he was the master? The ancestors have their own way of life down there, so we just need to express our hearts."

He can't bear to part with the white wine and bacon at home, he can't bear to eat it himself, and burn it for his ancestors?

The ancestors are so capable, even if they go to the underworld, they must be landlords, so there should be no need for them.

Xu's father's heart moved, and he suddenly thought that if there is such a saying as hell, can he find the Xu family's ancestors after his death, and follow them to eat and drink spicy food?

Thinking about it this way, death doesn't seem so scary.

"Grandpa, I'm going too." Fengxia ran over with two short legs and pulled his trouser legs.

Father Xu knelt down and picked her up, "Okay, let's go see the ancestors of the Xu family together."

Forget it, how many years can they live? Fengxia and Youqing are so young, he wants to wait for these two children to grow up.

Xu Fugui picked up a hoe and put it on his shoulder, and followed Xu's father to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. This is the grave of his Xu family.

The tombs here are generally well-built, with tombstones. Every ancestor who died has a tombstone, with life stories engraved on it, and the scenery of the Xu family in the past can be vaguely seen.

However, this cemetery will not be preserved for long. In the next few years, grave robbers will continue to patronize, and even passing troops will go digging, hoping to dig out gold and silver to subsidize military expenses.

But Xu Fugui knew that despite the atmosphere of these tombs, there was nothing in them, only a good coffin.

The Xu family's ancestors were very realistic, and they were reluctant to bury their gold and silver treasures in the ground, rather than leaving them to future generations.

And I heard from Xu's father that some funeral objects were placed in the Xu family's cemetery in the past, but when the war was the most chaotic in the past few decades, there were many tomb robbers, so the Xu family no longer put things in the tomb.

There are several large holes in the old tombs behind the bamboo forest.

Standing in the bamboo forest, Xu Fugui looked at the continuous cemetery, still feeling a little bit reluctant.

This is the place where his ancestors of the Xu family lived, and the thought of being constantly cared for made him feel uncomfortable.

Not only his Xu family, but cemeteries in various places, as long as they are better, will basically be patronized.

Only when the new rabbit is established, the phenomenon of tomb robbery will be much less, but there are no cemeteries to rob at that time, and all of them have been stolen in the past few decades.

This is why, the era background of tomb robbery novels are all in the past few decades.
