I am Fugui

Chapter 119 The Generous Father-in-Law

The sumptuous lunch made everyone feel full.

Chen Liping also had a big appetite amidst the laughter, and even ate two full bowls of white rice.

"The master is really happy. Since the young master went to the provincial capital, the master hardly smiles at home, and only eats one or two bites when eating. He usually asks us to cook only one or two dishes."

"Man, as long as you have a happy appetite, look at how happy the master is smiling now. Fengxia is also sensible, and she takes one mouthful of grandpa. It makes the master so happy."

Seeing this scene, the servants couldn't help talking, and felt happy for their master from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Liping is very self-restraining and is especially kind to the scary people in the mansion, so these servants are thinking of him.

After lunch, Chen Liping called a few rickshaws and took Fengxia Youqing to the foreign goods store.

The items sold here are all rare goods from outside, Chen Liping is full of pride, seeing what Fengxia and Youqing like, he waved his hands and asked his servants to buy them.

After a while, Fengxia Youqing's clothes were changed into a new set of Zhenliang clothes from inside to outside, and there were many things to play with in her hands.

Not only that, Xu Fugui was also carrying a large package, which contained thick clothes for the New Year bought for Fengxia Youqing.

"Father, it's almost done. Those who don't know think I'm going back to my mother's house to take advantage of it."

Jiazhen couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her mouth and said.

Chen Liping snorted, "I love my two grandsons, it's none of your business, do you have the clothes you like, take them away if you like them, I'm too lazy to bother."

When Jiazhen heard what he said, she was not polite, and went directly to get several sets of clothes.

Not only hers, but Fugui, Laishun, Changgen, Xu's father and Xu's mother each took a set.

Chen Liping glanced at it, but did not speak, obviously acquiescing.

This trip really cost a lot of money, the shopkeeper in the shop couldn't close his mouth with a smile, bent over and called Master Chen.

In the afternoon, Xu Fugui saw that it was almost time, so he proposed to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chen Liping said directly: "If you want to go back, go back by yourself, Fengxia, Youqing, how about playing with grandpa for a few more days?"

Fengxia's little face was full of confusion, she looked at him, then at her parents, not knowing how to answer.

Xu Fugui thought for a while, then said: "Jiazhen, why don't you and Fengxia Youqing stay with Dad for a few days and spend more time with Dad."

"You're not with us?"

"I have to go back to Zhang Luo Laishun's marriage, and someone has to take care of the crops in the field, right? On the day Laishun gets married, I'll come and pick you up and your children home."

Jiazhen agreed with a smile, she also wanted to do a good job of filial piety.

And in the village, Fengxia Youqing's two children couldn't eat any good food, so it happened that her father would feed them well.

Hearing that Jiazhen and the two children were going to stay here, Chen Liping smiled from ear to ear, his wrinkled face was radiant, he hugged Youqing high and put it on his neck.

Back in the Chen Mansion, Xu Fugui wrapped all their packed clothes in linen and put them in baskets.

Just as he was about to leave, a servant came over carrying two bags of rice and put them directly in the basket.

"Here, father, there is food at home."

Chen Liping didn't even look at him, and waved his hands, "Go back, Jiazhen and the two children are right here with me."

Xu Fugui smiled, picked up the two full baskets, and strode outside.

Feng Xia ran out and shouted: "Father, you must remember to come and pick me up."

"Okay, dad will pick you up in two days, don't make your grandpa angry, do you hear me?"

"heard it."

The sun was scorching hot, layers of heat waves rolled over the ground, a gust of wind blew past, kicked up a large amount of sand and dust, and even the weeds on the roadside were browned by the sun.

When Xu Fugui walked out of the county town, seeing no one around, he directly threw the baskets into the space, and walked on the dirt road with ease.

A person's footsteps are very fast. In half an hour, he came to the nameless river in front of Xujia Village.

With a thought, the shoulder pole appeared on his shoulder again, and he crossed the nameless river on the row of stones and walked towards Xujia Village.

"Fugui, you're back, have you bought the kitchen knife I wanted?"

There were several families waiting for him at the entrance of the village. After Xu Fugui handed over the things they asked to buy one by one, he accepted their thanks frankly.

"As for Jiazhen and the others, you wouldn't go to the county town and throw away your wife and children." Someone joked.

"Go." Xu Fugui waved his hand, "You just lost your wife and children, and they stayed with my father-in-law for two days."

"Tsk tsk, it's terrible, the old man gave you these two bags of rice."

Seeing their eyes full of envy, Xu Fugui immediately said: "My father-in-law didn't give this to me. With his temper, it's fine if he doesn't drive me out. How could he give me rice?"

"Jiazhen borrowed this rice and used it for Laishun to marry a wife."

The reason why I say this is that I simply don't want the villagers to feel that their family is rich in food. It's better to make them feel that the poorer the better.

Everyone nodded in amazement, "The Liu family is too greedy. They actually want three silver dollars and fifty catties of rice. Could it be that girl Liu Cuiping is made of gold?"

"Fugui, why don't you let Laishun see my girl, I don't want three silver dollars, I want fifty catties of rice."

"You are also greedy. Fifty catties of rice are enough to feed the whole family for three months. Fugui, I only need thirty catties of rice. You have met my girl, she is a good hand at work."

Xu Fugui didn't expect that these people would actually start to sell their daughters, but most of them were still joking, after all how could such a thing as getting married be so casual.

Xu Fugui chatted with them, picked up the baskets again, and returned to his yard.

"Where are Jiazhen and the others? Didn't they come back?" Mother Xu asked.

Xu Fugui explained, and Xu's mother nodded, "It's fine to let them stay for two days. Your father-in-law asked you to bring this back?"

Xu Fugui nodded, and Xu's mother walked over on crutches and opened the first cloth bag, "The best rice, my in-laws have a heart, Fugui, you have to respect your father-in-law in the future."

Afterwards, Mother Xu opened the second cloth bag, with a surprised expression on her face, and quickly closed the bag.

"Quick, carry it in, don't let others see it?"

Xu Fugui carried the basket into the house, and Xu's mother opened the cloth bag again. After Xu Fugui saw the contents clearly, he also showed a surprised expression.

The cloth bag was full of bacon and vermicelli, and there were soybeans at the bottom, and three silver dollars were buried in the soybeans.

Obviously, Chen Liping put it in after hearing they said that Laishun needed three silver dollars to get married.

In addition to the quality clothes he bought this afternoon, Xu Fugui owed his father-in-law a lot.

Father Xu also came to have a look, and sighed, "Our Xu family is sorry for Brother Li Ping, put these bacon vermicelli in the cellar, don't let the mice eat them, Fugui, you don't need to be filial to me in the future, but You must remember how good your father-in-law is."
