I am Fugui

Chapter 83

Xu's father is old, and it often takes a lot of time to squat in the pit.

Xu Fugui also couldn't figure it out, although he needed crutches to walk, how could he squat for such a long time.

And unless it is raining, it has been like a day for decades, except for the last time, it has never fallen once.

"Father, why did you suddenly fall last time?" In the night, Xu Fugui asked curiously.

Father Xu was holding a kerosene lamp, and the light flickered in the breeze, illuminating his wrinkled face flickeringly.

He snorted softly, unwilling to answer.

Feng Xia hugged his neck tightly with both hands, pressed her hot face against his, and whispered softly: "Father, why is your face so cold and your body so warm?"

Xu Fugui patted her little face, her face was like a peeled egg, white and delicate, there were few children with better skin than Fengxia.

"Hehe, Dad, it's time to shave your beard, it makes me itchy." Feng Xia giggled.

"Okay, let your mother shave for me when I get home."

Jiazhen pursed her lips, "Let your parents know so you won't be ashamed to death." Her voice was as low as a mosquito screeching.

"Father's feet don't stink."

Xu Fugui sighed, "Okay, then you go wash, I'll watch outside."

"I want to shave Dad too."

Jiazhen pressed her small face against his strong chest, "I can't sleep either, but it's time for us to sleep. I have nothing to do, but you have to work tomorrow."

"Okay, dad asked Feng Xia to shave me too."

After lying down for a while, Xu Fugui whispered.

As she said that, Fengxia stretched out her foot in front of him, "Father, help me smell it, does it stink?"

It's about nine o'clock in the evening at this moment. In a developed society decades later, the nightlife hasn't even started yet.

Father Xu scraped with a bamboo blade, got up and fastened his trouser belt, leaned on a cane, and walked slowly towards the village, Xu Fugui followed with Fengxia in his arms.

"Jiazhen, go and have a good rest, and leave this bastard alone."

Seeing Xu's father come back, he immediately went to get the wooden basin, ready to wash his feet.

The two quietly walked into the house, got into bed, and hugged each other tightly.

"Jiazhen, I can't sleep."

"I'm going to fetch water."

Xu Fugui nodded, and whispered: "How about I go in and take a bath with you? I'm sweating all over, and I want to take a bath too."

Xu Fugui really went up to smell it, then shook his head, "It doesn't stink, it smells good."

During the conversation, the night gradually rises, the sun is sunny during the day, the wind is piercing at night, and the full moon like a porcelain plate in the sky adds a bit of coolness.

After refilling the hot water, the two began to take a bath, but after a full hour of bathing, both of them walked out of it.

"I'll wash with you."

When they got home, Changgen and Laishun were sound asleep, and Jiazhen was alone in front of the stove, with steam rising from the pot.

Xu Fugui felt very at ease in his heart, "Your hair is not dry yet, we will sleep when your hair is dry."

He placed a small wooden bench in front of the tub, and took off Fengxia's cloth shoes, revealing a pair of chubby little feet.

Jiazhen: "You're not too dirty either."

Feng Xia shook her head like a rattle, "No matter what grandpa is, Feng Xia will never forget you."

Feng Xia was not angry when she heard this, and asked very seriously: "Does daddy's feet stink?"

"Jiazhen, go and rest, I'll take care of him." Xu Fugui took the wooden basin from her hand.

At night, she can't see her fingers. If no one is with her, she dare not take a bath.

In many cases, farmers who have worked hard all day don't even want to wash their feet, and they can't eat the tired meal after returning home. They have to sit for a while before they can eat.

"Okay, let your father pour you some water."

Pour the hot water in the iron pot into the wooden barrel, and help the orchid to the bathing shed, and the kerosene lamp is also hung on the wall.

Xu Fugui poured hot water from two wooden basins, one of which was taken to Father Xu's own room, and he went to bed immediately after washing, and then poured water for washing his feet tomorrow morning.

The corner of Father Xu's mouth raised, and he hummed and said, "Since you were young, no matter how many troubles you have caused, I have wiped your ass so many times. It is only natural for a son to serve me."

After washing, Xu Fugui put his feet in to soak, and Jiazhen added new hot water from the pot with a wooden ladle.

Fengxia fell asleep like a kitten, obedient and quiet, motionless, Xu Fugui kissed her on the forehead, and quietly left the house.

Father Xu narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid Fengxia won't remember me if she shaves her beard."

"Then why are Fengxia's feet smelly?"

Jiazhen shook her head lightly, "I want to take a bath."

Jiazhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she hugged Fengxia with difficulty, touched her small face, and nodded her nose, "It's as cold as ice, don't go out with your father next time."

"Jiazhen, come and wash together."

Jiazhen rolled her eyes, and went to prepare for a change of clothes on her own.

"It's all your fault, I have to fetch hot water again." A small voice came from the shower shed.

After Xu Fugui washed his feet, he carried Fengxia into the room. After a while, Fengxia fell asleep after playing all day.

Feng Xia turned her head to look, and asked again: "Grandpa, your beard is so long, why didn't you shave it?"

"Fugui, you are on guard outside, you are not allowed to sneak into the house, do you understand?" Jiazhen instructed.

After saying this, there was a sound of putting on clothes in the shower shed, and Xu Fugui, who simply put on a piece of clothes casually, came out from inside.

Jiazhen glanced at him, took his hand, walked into the bathtub, and gently closed the bamboo door.

"Why are our daughter's feet dirty?"

After eating, although they didn't want to wash their feet, the family still brought them a basin of hot water for the working man to scald them well.

Xu Fugui put Fengxia's feet into the wooden basin, and gently washed her feet.

The night wind gently blew the thatch of the roof, and the bright moonlight came in through the gaps, until the water became cold, and the two of them were not seen taking a bath.

"Well, Fengxia's feet really stink." Xu Fugui pretended to be disgusted and said.

Fengxia smiled, raised her head and said, "Mother, I also want to wash my feet."

But now the night was so deep that it couldn't get any darker. Xujia Village shrouded in darkness was extremely quiet, and the native dog that usually likes to bark fell into sleep.

It was dark, and Xujia Village became quiet. No one was extravagantly lighting kerosene lamps, and most of them went to bed after eating before dark.

There are many acupoints on the soles of the feet. After such a heat treatment, I can sleep comfortably and wake up the next day with strength again.

The other wooden basin was naturally prepared for Fengxia.

Jiazhen hummed softly in a nasal voice, and said suddenly: "Fugui, don't tire yourself out, you should take it easy when you work normally."

"I'm not tired, but you, who have just given birth, are still busy all day long."

"I'm not tired." Jiazhen rubbed her arms in his arms, "You used to be a young master, I don't know how you can endure such hardships."

Xu Fugui shook his head, "It's not bitter, with you by my side, it's not bitter at all."
