Chapter 7 Go to the county seat
The next day, when the sky was still bright, Xu Fugui woke up naturally.
When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw that Jiazhen was sleeping soundly on his arm, and there was still a faint smell of thatch and a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was full of joy, buried in his neck, and took a deep breath.
He was afraid that everything yesterday was just a dream.
Luckily, he was reborn!
didn't disturb Jiazhen and Feng Xia, he quietly turned over and got up, put on cloth shoes, tiptoed out of the thatched house, looked at the eastern sky turning over the white belly of the fish, and spit out a breath of turbidity.
As soon as the cold wind blew in the early morning, all the residual sleepiness dissipated, and he clenched his fists, feeling the vitality of his young body, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his fair face.
If it weren't for the fear of noisy others, he really wanted to scream loudly and vent his inner excitement.
Turning around and walking into the stove room, Lai Shun and Changgen were huddled on the firewood in the stove room, and they didn't even have a quilt.
There is no way, the conditions of the thatched house are limited, there are only three rooms, and Lai Shun and Changgen can only sleep in the stove room.
However, the two didn't seem to dislike it, hugged each other for warmth, and saliva could still be seen at the corners of their mouths.
This is not a solution, these two days are fine, after a while the weather is cold, you must have a bed and a quilt, otherwise your body will freeze sooner or later.
"Young Master, you're awake." Changgen sleeps lightly and wakes up when he hears movement.
Xu Fugui hummed, lifted the lid of the pot, picked up the wooden scoop, and scooped the water from the water tank into the pot.
Seeing this, Changgen immediately turned over, stuffed bamboo chips and thatch into the stove hole, struck a match and began to burn the fire.
The two inevitably made some movements, but Lai Shun didn't wake up, and Changgen scolded the dead pig with a smile.
After covering the pot, Xu Fugui saw that there was not much water in the tank, so he picked up the wooden bucket and the burden, and prepared to go out to carry water.
"Young master, where can you do this work, put it there, I'll let you go and fetch water." Nagane persuaded.
Xu Fugui didn't stop, and smiled indifferently: "Uncle Gen, I'm no longer a young master." ”
Nagane looked at his back and quietly wiped a handful of tears.
Xujia Village is located in the south, and the draft is not like the well water in the north, but the mountain spring water.
To put it simply, a ditch is dug in the mountain to divert water down, and each household is connected together with strong bamboo, and the mountain spring water is led to the water tank at home, so that there is water to drink at any time.
But when they first arrived at the thatched hut, they had not had time to bring water to their homes, so they could only pick up buckets and buckets to their homes.
The high-pitched rooster crows in Xujia Village, mixed with a few dog barks, although it is not yet dawn, many people in the village have left the bed, and wisps of cooking smoke waft out from the chimney on the roof.
Similar to yesterday, when the people in the village saw him carrying a wooden barrel, their eyes flashed with surprise, and then they stopped what they were doing and respectfully called out to the young master.
Many people who worked as hired laborers in his family even wanted to come and take over the burden on his shoulders, saying that they wanted to help him carry water.
Xu Fugui naturally refused, and once again instructed them not to call him a young master in the future.
The two wooden barrels were filled with water, which added up to at least eighty catties, Xu Fugui walked on the dirt road, feeling quite relaxed, and the bucket was stable, without spilling a drop of water.
"The young master of the Xu family is not like working for the first time, and he will use his strength." Someone saw this scene and said it in passing.
In the countryside, it is easy to identify those who can work and those who can't, and those who can't work can't exert themselves.
For example, if you pick up a burden, if you are a city person, not to mention whether the pick is stable or not, after a while, your shoulders will be worn out, and the burden will not obey the call.
But the farmer who makes the strength is often able to carry heavier burdens with less effort, and for a longer period of time.
Xu Fugui also went through countless sweaty practices to become a qualified farmer.
After going back and forth several times, after filling the water tank, Jiazhen and Xu's father and mother also got up.
"Well, that's good." Father Xu praised with a slight smile.
"Fugui, you're tired, alas, when did you do such rough work when you were young?" Mother Xu's eyes were full of distress.
Jiazhen didn't say a word, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him happily.
"Young master, let me do the work of carrying water in the future." Lai Shun seemed a little embarrassed.
The food in the morning was the same as last night, one person cooked a sweet potato, and unexpectedly, no one complained, and everyone stared at him from time to time while eating, as if to see if he could accept it.
After eating sweet potatoes, I barely had something in my stomach, brought a basin of hot water to wash my face, and walked into the house, ready to change into clean clothes and go to the city.
Jiazhen followed, bending down to help her find clothes.
"Jiazhen, I'll come by myself, you have a good rest."
Jiazhen didn't hear it, and found out his old white silk robe, his eyes hesitant, obviously wanting to say something.
"Why don't you wear this, it's slippery, like saliva, I don't wear it."
"Poof......
Jiazhen covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is not like what a young master can say. ”
"You all know that I'm not a young master anymore, it's not a joke to go out in silk clothes, change one, change one."
Jiazhen placed the silk caftan on the bamboo bed and found a clean white coarse cloth robe for him to change into.
To be honest, Xu Fugui is not bad-looking, at first glance it seems a little ordinary, but he belongs to the attractive type, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels a little handsome.
I washed my face and changed into a body clothes, with fair skin, slender fingers, wide shoulders and long legs, as if I was still the young master back then, and I was a little dazed when I saw Jiazhen.
The reason why she was willing to marry the Xu family was not because Xu Fugui was flamboyant and his appearance won the hearts of the people.
Xu Fugui squatted down, put his ear on Jiazhen's stomach, closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Why hasn't our son moved?"
Jiazhen gently stroked her belly, "Before you give birth, how do you know it's a son, in case it's a girl." ”
Xu Fugui smiled, "Son, it's a son." ”
Jiazhen didn't argue with him about these meaningless questions, put away her smile, and while tidying up his clothes, she exhaled like an orchid, "Fugui, you went to the county seat, but you can't go to the north of the city." ”
The north of the city is the most prosperous place in the county, and the casino and the green building are located in the north of the city.
Xu Fugui understood what she meant, looked at her ruddy lips, couldn't help but bow his head and peck, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't go to the casino and the Qinglou again." ”
"I used to be blinded, I had such a good daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law at home, and I actually ran outside to fool around."
Jiazhen's fair face turned red as soon as he pounced, and he clenched his fist and gently hammered him, "It's not ashamed to be in broad daylight." ”
"Won't you be ashamed that night?"
Jiazhen turned around and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Okay, you go to the county seat quickly, I'll wait for you to come back at home." ”
Xu Fugui touched the silver dollar in his arms, mumbled, picked up the silk robe on the bamboo bed, and turned to leave......
