I am Fugui

Chapter 214

After a while, there was a noise outside. When I went out, I saw some people from the village, and they invited us to come and visit.

Xu Fugui warmly invited them to come in and sit down. Instead of burning charcoal in the brazier, he directly put rough firewood on it, and the blazing fire ignited to expel the surrounding chill.

"Come on, call me Uncle Fugui. In the future, you must study hard and be as capable as your Uncle Fugui." Hu Xingwang put down the child on his back.

The child was wearing a cotton padded jacket with no patches on it. His skin was dark but his face was ruddy. It looked like he was eating well.

But yes, Hu Xingwang is now the captain of the militia in Xujia Village, and his life is quite good.

"Uncle Fugui." The child shouted timidly.

Hu Xingwang looked at him dissatisfied, and shouted: "Didn't you eat? Louder!"

Xu Fugui picked up the child, "Xingwang, the child is so young, why are you yelling at him, be careful not to get close to you in the future."

Hu Xingwang didn't take it seriously, "Children have to yell, otherwise they will be disobedient."

Xu Fugui didn't agree with him. In his previous life, he often yelled at Youqing, but Youqing didn't get close to him until his death. So in this life, he kept a straight face at most, never said harsh words, let alone made a move.

Usually, if there is nothing to do, I will spread some common sense to Fengxia Youqing, especially about drawing blood.

Youqing will definitely go to school in the future, he doesn't want Youqing to take the initiative to donate blood foolishly, only to be whipped to death by an unscrupulous doctor.

Thinking of Youqing's pale and cold face in his previous life, his heart felt cramped at the moment.

Shaking his head and getting rid of all the things in his mind, he looked at the shy little boy in his arms, searched his past memories, and asked, "Is your name Hu Heping?"

Hu Heping nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "Uncle Fugui, how do you know my name? They all call me Dawa Hu."

Xu Fugui laughed loudly, "Uncle Laishun gave you your name."

Laishun on the side straightened his back, this incident was considered something he was quite proud of, but unfortunately he had no inspiration since then, even his own son's name was chosen by sister Jiazhen.

He took out a few candies wrapped in sugar wrappers and handed them to Heping, and put him on the ground, "Let's find Youqing to play."

Heping immediately ran away, clutching the candy tightly in his hand, found Youqing, and happily said: "Youqing, let's go, let's eat candy."

Although Youqing was smaller than Hu Heping, but taller, he waved his hands like a grown-up, "I don't eat candy, I have plenty of candy at home."

"Really?" Hu Heping looked at him enviously.

Almost all the children in the village are envious of Fengxia and Youqing. After all, they can often eat meat, wear the best clothes, and never lack sweets and snacks.

In short, I am envious in every way, and I often imagine that my parents are Aunt Fugui and Uncle Jiazhen in my heart.

Youqing took out several pieces of candy from his pocket and gave them to Hu Heping, rolling his eyes, "Come on, let's set off firecrackers."

Hu Heping hurriedly followed behind him, Feng Xia glanced behind, still reluctant to leave Xu Fugui's arms, curled up in his arms, and read the storybook.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said loudly: "Mom, I haven't shown my certificate of merit to Dad yet."

Jiazhen looked at her with a smile, "Then why don't you show it to your father."

Fengxia hurried back to the house where she was sleeping, and when she came back, she was holding a certificate of merit made of red paper, and the handwriting on it was also handwritten.

Xu Fugui took it and read it aloud word by word, not stingy with his praise.

Others are also praising, talking about making their children study hard.

In this era, only learning can get out of the village.

When it was close to noon for dinner, the people who visited refused Xu Fugui's request to stay, but insisted on going back.

But when they went back, there were some things in their pockets, all of which were snacks that Xu Fugui brought back from the provincial capital, let them have a taste.

They probably were reluctant to eat it, so they took it home and gave it to the children at home.

The bacon smoked this year for lunch, Xu Fugui hadn't eaten bacon for a long time, his appetite was so great that his mouth was full of oil.

During the meal, Jiazhen kept picking up food for him, and said, "Didn't you say to go to the county town for a stroll last night?"

"Who told you not to call me in the morning?"

"I saw you sleeping so soundly, and I wanted to let you sleep for a while, but I didn't expect you to sleep for so long."

Xu Fugui said indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, I will go to your father's house to pay New Year's greetings in the first few days, and I will go shopping at that time."

Jiazhen shrugged, "There's not much to do in this small town."

"How about we go to the provincial capital for a stroll?"

"Alright, go to the provincial capital, I want to go to the provincial capital too!" Fengxia said loudly.

Jiazhen rolled her eyes, "You're full, right? Going all the way to the provincial capital?"

Xu Fugui laughed loudly, "Fengxia, when you grow up a bit, Dad will definitely take you to the provincial capital."

"And me and me, Dad, and me."

"Yes, and we have to celebrate, and our blessings, all go, all go."

After dinner, Xu Fugui was wearing cloth shoes and wrapped in a military overcoat, with Laishun beside him. The two of them wandered around the village like bums.

The two were gossiping, mainly because Laishun was complaining, saying that the work of the branch secretary was really difficult, which made him very troubled.

Xu Fugui handed him a cigarette, and said earnestly, "Laishun, you should also be literate and read more books, preferably more newspapers."

"You have a third-class merit, and you will definitely not be just a branch secretary in the future."

"In case the higher-ups find out that you are illiterate and uneducated during the assessment, there is no way to promote you even if they want to, do you understand?"

Laishun had a bitter face, "Brother, I get dizzy just reading a book, being a party secretary is enough, I can't do anything else."

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes, waved his hands, and didn't insist, "It's up to you, but in the future you have to let You Fu study more, I don't want him to be like you."

Laishun chuckled, "Isn't it because of you, Youfu will follow Youqing in the future and let him listen to you."

Father Xu hummed, it's fine if Laishun doesn't want to learn, anyway, with him, as long as he lives well, Laishun's family will never be wronged.

As they walked, the two of them unknowingly came to the place where the land was reclaimed. Xu Fugui looked at it. Farmers were not good at other things, but they were definitely serious about the land.

Then he went to the mountain again, looked around, he didn't need to worry about anything, and talked about the interesting things in the past with Laishun.

In the evening, Xu Fugui took the initiative to tie up his apron, saying that he was cooking mutton for them.

Although there is no shabu-shabu at home, there is a coal stove, and mutton can also be shabu-shabu. Other ingredients are taken from the ground.

With bursts of aroma wafting out, the aroma of hot-boiled mutton gradually wafted out. In the cold weather, the heart of the family's food was warm.
