I am Fugui

Chapter 80
The heavy rain poured for an entire hour before it gradually turned into a drizzle.

There are black puddles everywhere on the Qingshiban road in the county seat, and a smell of water permeates the street.

"It seems that we can't do business today." Xu Fugui looked at the empty street and said.

"Then what do we do with so many braised goods?" Lai Shun said unwillingly.

Du Shanying hesitated, and said: "Fugui, leave the pig's head for me. There will be a lot of people here in the afternoon, and they like to drink with some pig's head."

"That's daring."

Xu Fugui took out the stewed pig's head, carefully cut it into small pieces, mixed it with spicy peppers, and the price was much cheaper than usual.

After all, the pig's head was soaked by the rain, and although the taste didn't change much, it still couldn't be sold at the original price.

After drinking almost enough, Xu Fugui got up and left, wandering on the street.

"Master, where are we going now? Should we go back to the village?" Laishun asked.

"Call me brother, don't call me young master, have you ever seen a young master wearing straw sandals?"

Laishun chuckled, Xu Fugui glanced at the lo-mei in the back basket, rolled his eyes, put on his bamboo hat, and yelled as he walked, "It's lo-mei, it's lo-mei."

If there are no customers on the street, he will come to sell them door-to-door, just like selling candied haws, and become a mobile stall.

Shouting while walking, the effect was not bad, and a lot of lo mei were sold one after another.

It's just a bit loud.

At the end of the sale, there was still a pig's ear, a dozen or so marinated eggs, and half of the heart and lung left.

"Don't sell it, go home."

Xu Fugui's throat was about to smoke, he took a big mouthful of water, dragged his sandals and walked towards the gate of the city.

"Brother, do you think what Boss Du said is true?"

"Is it true?"

"Is life in the north really that good? Everyone has their own fields. Where are there so many fields? Is Boss Du fooling us?"

Xu Fugui smiled lightly, "What Boss Du said is true, Xintu really cares about the common people."

Laishun bowed his head in distress, "We are not in the north."

Xu Fugui spat on the side of the road, but did not speak.

To be honest, he was glad that he was not in the north, otherwise the landlord of the Xu family would have knocked them down without Long Er doing it.

Talking casually, when I came to the entrance of the city gate, there were still people guarding the conscription office, but the man in the Chinese tunic was not there. There were only two soldiers in yellow leather clothes, steel helmets and rifles.

"Hey, come out to do business under such heavy rain? What are you selling?"

The two soldiers stationed their rifles on the ground, held cigarettes in their hands, and looked at them playfully.

Xu Fugui sneered, "Bosses, we are doing small business."

The two soldiers didn't care so much, they walked over and violently lifted the canvas on the back basket.

"Oh, it's quite fragrant. It's braised meat. I saw the battalion commander eat it before."

The two took out all the lo-mei from the back basket, put it on the table, and asked lightly: "What price, our two brothers bought it for you."

Xu Fugui glanced at the rifles in their arms, pursed his lips, and said with an apologetic smile: "That's true, the two officers have worked so hard to protect their families and the country, how can I still charge money for this little food, you take it, take it .”

One of the soldiers nodded in satisfaction, but the other said smugly, "You all know how hard it is for me to defend my home and country, why don't you contribute your strength?"

Xu Fugui quietly moved all the silver coins and legal coins in his pocket to the space, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, it's raining heavily today, there is no one on the street, and we haven't received a single coin."

"Hey, it's strange that I believe you."

The soldier came over and started a body search. Laishun clenched his fists tightly, Tong Ling's big eyes were full of fierceness.

"I warn you not to move around, I don't have eyes for this bullet."

Xu Fugui took Lai Shun's hand, signaling him not to be impulsive, as there was only a little leftover lo mei, not worth much money.

Don't risk your life on this.

The officer searched the two of them, spat on the ground unhappily, and cursed: "You two poor ghosts, get lost."

Xu Fugui put on his back basket, dragged Laishun away in a hurry, and when he could no longer see the soldiers behind him, he cursed: "Two bastards who gave birth to a child without an asshole, the mother must have run away with someone else."

Laishun also cursed a few times, clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Master, if you hadn't stopped me just now, I would definitely have done it."

"Call me brother." Xu Fugui licked his chapped lips, "Move your hands, do you think the guns in their hands are decorations?"

"Just to sell the remaining lo mei for such a small amount? It's not worth it, just treat it as feeding dogs."

Laishun snorted, still feeling extremely upset, but there was nothing he could do.

After walking two steps forward, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Master, no, brother, why didn't he find the money in your pocket?"

Xu Fugui grinned and said, "Jiazhen sewed a bag inside my clothes, it's no wonder he can find it."

Lai Shun let out an oh, and smiled happily, "Those two stupid pigs are even more stupid than the second idiot in the next village."

"Laishun, don't tell Jiazhen and mother about this when you go back, lest they panic."

"understood."

The dirt road is muddy, and after being washed by heavy rain, it will slip if you step on it accidentally.

When they came to the river in front of Xujia Village, their feet, straw sandals, and trouser legs were all muddy.

"Master, the stone is flooded." Laishun said excitedly, looking at the muddy yellow river.

The river rose, and Lieshi was submerged in the muddy water, blocking the road.

"Cross below."

There is a stone arch bridge downstream of the river, no matter how high the river rises, the arch bridge will not be submerged.

However, they took a short detour, crossed the river from the stone arch bridge, and detoured a section of the country road, and the two returned to Xujia Village.

At this time, the drizzle also stopped, the dense fog quickly dissipated, the strong wind blew, and the continuous white clouds in the sky were slowly moving.

The sun shines quietly through the gaps in the clouds, and it seems that the rainstorm turns fine at this moment.

"Fugui is back, business may not be very good today." After returning home, Mother Xu walked around the house with Youqing in her arms.

"It's really not good. The lo mei was wet by the rain, and there were no people on the street. Fortunately, Boss Du bought the pig's head for me, and I gave her a lot of money."

"Boss Du is a good man."

Xu Fugui took off all the hats and raincoats and hung them on the wall outside. Then he washed his hands and wiped his face with a damp sackcloth.

Putting the linen on the bamboo pole, he turned his head to see that Youqing was staring at him.

"Did you see dad? Come on, let dad give you a good hug."

Holding his buttocks in one hand and his head and back in the other, Xu Fugui carefully hugged Youqing, teasing him with strange noises.
