I am Fugui

Chapter 74 Little Yellow Dog

"Wang!"

A dog barking suddenly came from beside him. It turned out that another adult dog saw that the yellow dog had food, and immediately ran over with its tongue out, its eyes full of viciousness.

The yellow dog stood up immediately, trying to swallow the biscuits in his mouth.

Seeing this, the dog immediately rushed over to snatch it.

As a result, as soon as he got close to the yellow dog, a big foot wrapped around Peiran and kicked it hard, flying back several meters in a parabola.

"You dare to grab what I give you."

Xu Fugui patted his raincoat in distaste, watched the yellow dog swallow the biscuits, then got up and left.

The conscription office at the entrance of the city gate was still the same as before, the voice in the tunic suit was a little hoarse, and he showed great enthusiasm to everyone who came to sign up.

Xu Fugui heard someone asking his daughter if she could join the army.

Some people really can't survive at home, and being a soldier may be a good choice.

One less person to eat, but also an extra settling allowance, why not do it?

It's just that it's the same as selling one's body. If you want to come back after being a soldier in the southern army, it will be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the French coins on the table are all deceitful in Xu Fugui's view.

Don't look at the thousands of thousands of legal currency, but this thing is that the people above can print as much as they want, and when the war burns, it will continue to depreciate.

At that time, [-] French currency can buy half a catty of rice, which is not bad.

Squeezing through the crowd, Xu Fugui put on straw sandals and stepped on the bumpy dirt road with big strides.

After walking for a while, he looked back to make sure that there was no one around, threw the cloth shoes into the space, and hurried on with ease.

It was another two hours' journey, and it was already past noon. Xu Fugui took out all the seeds, cloth shoes, and candied haws in front of the village entrance, with a distressed expression on his face.

"Fugui, you went to the county seat, what did you buy? If I knew you were going to the county seat, I would ask you to buy half a catty of salt for me."

Someone in the village saw him and said hello.

Xu Fugui raised the seeds in Yang's hand, "Go and buy some seeds."

"The new year has not yet passed, so I bought seeds so early."

"By the way, I bought it back. I bought it early and bought it later."

"That's the reason. What's the matter with you? Don't you usually smile alone, but when you go to the county, you become a bitter face."

Xu Fugui sighed, saying how difficult the business in the county is, he is now considering whether to continue to do business, he is afraid that he will lose all his capital.

The reason why Xu Fugui wants to say this is to let the villagers feel that the life of his Xu family is as difficult as theirs.

The man smacked his lips twice, "I thought doing business in the county would be very profitable. I was wondering if I could set up a stall in the county too. Hearing what you said, I dare not go."

Xu Fugui sighed, and the sorrow between his brows became even worse, "Long Er doesn't give people a way to live, and pays [-]% of the food, and he doesn't know if the rest is enough to eat."

The man also cursed Long Er, and comforted him instead, "Fugui, you don't have to worry too much, we are all in the same village, and whoever's family really has no food, each person can eat a meal with a grain of rice .”

Xu Fugui grinned, "That's the reason."

The people in Xujia Village still made him feel so simple, they would really help if anyone was in trouble.

After chatting with the villagers, when Xu Fugui returned home, Fengxia immediately ran out excitedly, and she was about to jump into his arms with her arms wide open.

Xu Fugui lifted her up high, "Fengxia come down first, let Dad take off the raincoat."

Putting Fengxia on the ground, taking off her raincoat and putting it on the bamboo pole, Jiazhen took what was in his hand and first checked to see if his padded jacket was wet.

"The shoulders are a little wet. I will sew the raincoat again after it dries."

Jiazhen said something to herself before checking what he had bought.

She took out the bunch of candied haws, bent down with a half-smile, "Fengxia, did you ask your father to buy this?"

Fengxia smiled showing two cute dimples, tilted her head and said, "Mom, I asked Dad to buy it for you. I know you like candied haws."

"Slick-tongued little guy, he speaks just like your father, he's out of tune, take it and eat it."

Fengxia happily took it, and held it to Jiazhen's mouth, "Mom, you eat first."

Jiazhen swallowed, and ate one, "Okay, Fengxia will eat the rest."

Fengxia reached out to Xu Fugui's mouth again, "Father, you eat too."

Xu Fugui pretended to take a bite, "Yes, it's delicious, and the rest are all Fengxia's."

"Father lied, Daddy didn't eat at all." Feng Xia puffed her face.

Xu Fugui rubbed her head, "Father ate a bunch of skewers in the county town, and his stomach is full."

"Really?"

"real."

Fengxia just stretched out her mouth and took a small bite of the candied haws. She shook her head happily and her eyes narrowed.

"I like eating candied haws the most."

Jiazhen shook her head amusedly, "Fugui, the food is heated in the pot for you, and I'll bring it out for you."

During the meal, Jiazhen asked if the business in the county could be done, and Xu Fugui saw that his family was there, so he told what he had seen and heard in the county.

Mother Xu was an optimist, and comforted everyone with a smile, "Not bad, I can earn ten silver dollars a month, which is a little less than those accountants."

Xu Fugui echoed, "So I'll go to Fifth Brother and Uncle Sun's house later, cook the lo-mei this afternoon, and set up the lo-mei stall tomorrow."

Just after eating, they heard Fengxia shouting from outside the house.

Xu Fugui thought she had fallen, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran outside.

"Father, look." Fengxia's mouth was covered with sugar stains, and her little finger pointed to the gate of the courtyard.

Looking in the direction of Fengxia's finger, there was a dirty yellow-haired puppy, its four feet were covered with yellow mud, crouching timidly at the gate of the courtyard.

After seeing him appear, he immediately barked excitedly.

"Father, is this puppy looking for you?"

Xu Fugui glanced at the little yellow dog remorsefully, wishing he could slap himself.

Why did I meddle in my own business, and even recruited this dog into my house?

This dog is also smart, and he followed him all the way, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Master, what's the matter with this dog." Lai Shun asked curiously.

Xu Fugui told the story of meeting this little yellow dog, and Fengxia immediately sympathized and said: "This dog is so pitiful, Dad, shall we let it stay at home?"

Xu Fugui said in a low voice, "People can't get enough to eat, so where can we get food for dogs?"

"Fengxia eat less, don't dogs have something to eat?" Fengxia hugged his small mouth, pouted, "Father, is that okay?"

Xu Fugui looked at Jiazhen, and Jiazhen also looked at him hesitantly.

Father Xu snorted and hugged Fengxia, "This dog, Fengxia, wants to keep her, so she should keep it. There is a dog at home, so I won't be afraid of thieves thinking about it, and the house will be peaceful."
