I am Fugui

Chapter 99

A few days later, Xu Fugui discovered that the number of soldiers at the city gate had increased to a full six.

Everyone who entered or left the city was subject to strict screening, and the reason for the screening was suspicion of enemy cells.

People didn't dare to resist, thinking that they were not an enemy cell anyway, so just search if you want.

As a result, these six soldiers were so bold that when they searched the body, they found French currency and copper coins in their purses, and put them in their arms.

When you meet a good-looking girl, your hands are not honest when you search the body, which makes the common people glare,

As a result, fewer and fewer people are willing to come to the county, especially those girls' families. Their families strictly prohibit them from going to the county, and the county is becoming more and more deserted.

Business became more and more difficult, and even Laishun complained: "If we continue to do this, we will lose all our pants."

The amount of lo mei they sell is still the same as before, but it is not bad to sell half of it now, and the rest can only be lost in their hands.

As the temperature rises, it will smell rancid the next day, making it impossible to continue selling.

The world is getting more and more chaotic, and even the common people are aware that something is wrong, and try to avoid going to the county town.

On this day, the sun hung high in the sky, and there were a few huge white clouds scattered in the sky, and the wind whizzed past the ground, raising a burst of dust.

Xu Fugui sat on the ridge of the field, looking at the evenly distributed rice seedlings in the paddy field, his eyes were dull, and he unconsciously bit the grass in his mouth.

"Father, doesn't it hurt to be exposed to the sun?"

A crisp and loud voice rang in her ears, and she turned her head to see Fengxia, carrying a bamboo basket with difficulty, walking over with her head raised and smiling, followed by Jiazhen and Ping An.

Ping An seems to be enjoying the sunshine, wagging his tail happily, and the silky fur flutters in the wind.

Xu Fugui came back to his senses, hugged Fengxia and put it on his lap, and asked Jiazhen, "Is the lo mei cooked?"

Jiazhen hummed lightly, and said with a smile, "Are you tired, why don't you go home and sleep for a while?"

After speaking, she didn't feel disgusted, and sat next to him on the field ridge.

Xu Fugui shook his head, "Not tired."

Jiazhen looked at her with big almond eyes. Her eyes were watery, like a spring, extremely clear. Fengxia's eyes were inherited from Jiazhen, and they were equally beautiful.

"Then what are you thinking? You didn't respond when Fengxia and I came." Under the sunlight, Jiazhen's rosy body moved slightly, her voice was like a spring breeze, and it was like spring water flowing through her chest.

Xu Fugui's mind suddenly became peaceful, and he said softly: "Jiazhen, the braised meat business may have to stop for a while."

The time for the war was getting closer, and he was getting more and more flustered. He didn't want to be dragged into a strong man anymore.

He wanted to avoid the limelight during this period.

Jiazhen's long and curved eyelashes twitched, she tilted her head and asked, "Then let's stop doing it and cultivate the land at home so that the whole family can have enough food."

"You don't ask me why?"

Jiazhen: "Don't ask, you must have your own considerations."

Xu Fugui explained: "You know the situation in the county town. It's very deserted. If we continue to do this, I'm afraid we will lose our pants."

Jiazhen chuckled, "I just want to tell you about this these two days, just because I'm afraid you won't want it."

Xu Fugui said happily: "Then the business will stop for a while, and when the world improves, we will go to the county town to sell it. At that time, we will stop setting up a stall and set up a small shop dedicated to selling lo mei."

"When we save money, we'll buy a house with a yard in the county town, so we don't have to run back and forth. It's also convenient for Fengxia Youqing to study, and I can visit your father anytime."

Jiazhen's eyes showed yearning, she pursed her lips, "Dad and mother won't live in the county."

Xu Fugui snorted, "My mother will definitely go with me, but my father is an old-fashioned old man, and he wants to stay in the village all his life, guarding the Xu family's ancestral grave and family property."

"He doesn't even think about it. These family properties are not his anymore. What's the use of guarding them."

Jiazhen stretched out her finger and tapped his forehead, "I've never seen a son lecture his father."

Xu Fugui chuckled, "Didn't I tell you this?"

Jiazhen patted the ashes on his body, "Okay, just know how to coax me, let's talk about the future, what about the stewed meat at home, I just stewed it."

"If it's sold tomorrow, it won't be sold."

"Mother, aren't we here to cut sheep grass? Why are you so busy talking to dad?"

Fengxia couldn't sit still anymore, she spoke.

"Okay, mother will take you to mow the grass."

As the sun set, Xu Fugui came out of the field, first sat on the ridge of the field to clean the mud off his feet, and then returned home with his straw sandals.

I talked to Xu's father and Xu's mother about the suspension of the lo-mei business, and the two of them also had no objection, after all, no one wants to continue a loss-making business.

Then he came to the home of Chen Yunsheng and Sun Daotang, and told the same thing.

"Not for sale? Well, well, the world is really chaotic."

When the two of them heard the words, they suddenly felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing they could do.

During dinner, Xu Fugui extravagantly cut up a plate of pork head, mixed it with chili sauce and shallots.

Putting it on the dining table, he said with a smile: "After this meal, I don't know when I can eat the lo mei next time."

Fengxia stood on the chair, "Father, lo mei is so delicious, why can't I eat it anymore?"

Xu Fugui put on a smock for her to prevent her from getting dirty, "Because Dad won't sell lo-mei in the future."

"Then the children in the village won't be able to eat it either?"

Xu Fugui hummed, and scratched her nose lightly, "Old-fashioned, who did you learn to talk with, aren't you a kid yourself?"

Fengxia said seriously: "I'm already five years old, and I'll be a big kid soon."

"Haha, okay, my Fengxia is a big kid."

Fengxia chattered while eating, diluting the heavy atmosphere at the dinner table.

In the future, without the income from the lo-mei business, life might not be easy if they only rely on farming, so they will naturally not be happy.

The next day, Xu Fugui and Laishun got up early as usual, walked out of Xujia Village when the sky was still white, and walked towards the county town by stepping on the stone columns through the nameless river.

"Master, don't we need to get up so early in the future?" Lai Shun asked with a big mouth and a big yawn.

The early morning wind was a bit cold, Xu Fu folded his hands on his chest, shrank his neck and hummed, "Tomorrow I can sleep a little longer, and I don't have to walk dozens of miles every day."

Laishun rolled up his trouser legs, exerted a little force, and the muscles on his calf were clearly defined. He chuckled, "Those girls in the village secretly praised me for my strength."

"Then which girl do you like? You are about the same age, and you should make plans to get married and have children."

Lai Shun rolled his eyes, "I have to think about it, the people in the village are too familiar, I think there are a few beautiful ones in other villages."
