In the next half month, Xu Fugui deliberately made himself busy, first going to Long Er's house to pick up manure and fertilize the field.

Then he used Nanzhu to enclose a small courtyard in front of the thatched house, and built a chicken shed in the small courtyard.

After the yard was fenced, he and Lai Shun took firewood knives and went to the mountains to find firewood, preparing to pile up a stack of firewood in the chicken shed.

Xujia Village is located in the south, and it rarely snows in winter, but the temperature is very low, and it is usually heated by fire, and a lot of firewood needs to be stored.

After a lot of busyness, I finished eating every night, washed up a little, and fell asleep.

But he would always wake up in the middle of the night, lying on the cold bamboo bed, his heart was always empty, and the tip of his nose lacked the faint fragrance.

Unable to sleep, he stared at the dark roof with his eyes open in the dark, thinking of Jiazhen's smile.

After thinking about it a lot, he wondered if he should find an opportunity to go to the city to see if Jiazhen's life was good.

Probably good, although the old man doesn't want to see him, he is extra fond of Jiazhen.

"Boom ......"

That night, Lei Gong suddenly roared, and lightning flashed in the night sky, and within a moment, the downpour fell.

The rainwater seeped through the thatch, dripping from the roof, just to the bamboo bed.

Xu Fugui, who was asleep, was woken up by the rain, and quickly got up and found a wooden basin to catch the rain.

However, as the rain became heavier, not only on the bamboo bed, but also in other parts of the house.

There is only one wooden basin and three wooden barrels at home, and the water in Xu's father's house and the stove room are also leaking, so Xu Fugui only gets one wooden basin, barely catching the rainwater above the bamboo bed.

"Fortunately, Jiazhen and Fengxia went back to their parents' house, otherwise they would have suffered this crime with me." Listening to the sound of rain outside, he couldn't help but rejoice.

Half lying on the bamboo bed, with his hands on his head, completely sleepless, desperate to change the conditions at home.

You can't wait for Feng Xia to come back, and follow him to sleep on a bamboo bed and eat sweet potatoes, right?

Even if Jiazhen doesn't dislike it, he can't help it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he smashed his mouth twice in distress, but he still had no clue.

The next morning, the rain was still dripping, and the dirt floor of the thatched hut had long been soaked with rain, and the slightest step on it was a footprint.

After Xu's father finished nibbling the sweet potato, he burped loudly, wiped his snot with his hands, walked out of the house, and saw his son sitting under the eaves in a daze, paused, and turned back to the house.

When he came out, he held two silver dollars in his hand, "Fugui, go to the city to buy catties of salt and come back, and by the way, go to Wang's Restaurant to buy a roast duck, Jiazhen likes to eat it." ”

Xu Fugui was stunned and took the silver dollar, "Dad, it's raining outside." ”

Father Xu kicked him, "It's raining a little bit, anyway, it's raining and I'm idle at home." ”

Xu Fugui grinned, suddenly had strength on his body, and walked into the house to change into the only clean and decent clothes.

The hole that was cut by the pickpocket's knife has been repaired by Jiazhen, and there is no trace of the scratch at all.

There was also an inner bag sewn under the armpit of the clothes, Xu Fugui put two silver dollars in it, but in fact, he quietly put it in the space, put on a straw hat, said a word to Xu's mother, and rushed directly into the rain.

"This kid ......" Mother Xu shook her head amusedly, holding a needle and thread in her hand and continuing to accept mille-feuille shoes.

As soon as he got out of the yard, he looked at the muddy path, took off his cloth shoes directly, pulled up his trouser legs, and stepped barefoot on the dirt path.

Thick fog shrouded the mountains and forests, Xu Fugui left Xujia Village after a while, his steps were brisk, the cold wind was howling, but his heart was hot.

When I came to the outside of the county seat, I didn't rush into the city, walked down the dirt road, washed my feet in the Yunxi River, shook off the water stains, put on cloth shoes, and then walked into the city.

Probably because of the rain, there were no people on the bluestone streets, and the shopkeeper looked at the rain outside with a sad face, occasionally shouting, hoping for a customer.

went straight to Wang's Restaurant, spent half a silver dollar, that is, five silver horns, to buy half a roast duck, and dripped blood from his distress.

In the past, when he was a young master, he never asked the price when he went out to buy things, and he threw a few silver dollars at will, and he didn't pay attention to silver horns and copper coins at all.

Now I really want to beat up my former self, and I don't know how much money I have cheapened others.

Although the roast duck in Wang's restaurant is expensive, it tastes really good, Xu Fugui wrapped it in oilskin paper in his hand, and the aroma went straight to his nose.

After almost a month, I haven't tasted any meat, and I can't wait to bite into a large piece of barbecue meat and chew it well!

People in the 21st century are comfortable, often talking about eating too much meat and liking vegetarian dishes.

But once they try it, they will definitely be hungry if they don't eat meat for two days.

"No, this is for Jiazhen and Fengxia."

Xu Fugui swallowed his saliva, wrapped the roast duck in oily paper, and was about to leave when a familiar shout stopped him.

"Young Master of the Xu family."

Turning his head, Wang Wenchang came down from the upstairs leisurely with a folding fan in his hand.

"Young Master Wang." Xu Fugui greeted respectfully.

Wang Wenchang shook his head, "Don't be so polite, don't come to me when you come to my territory, the roast duck you bought?" Why are these subordinates so blind, they even have to collect my friend's money. ”

When the shopkeeper of Wang's Restaurant heard this, he hurriedly returned a silver dollar, and kept saying that he couldn't stop it.

Xu Fugui happily accepted the silver dollar, which was good, not only did he get half a roast duck for nothing, but also earned five silver horns.

Young Master of the Wang family, you can really handle it!

"Fugui." Wang Wenchang put away the folding fan, trying to hook his shoulder, and after finding that his clothes were soaked, he withdrew his hand in disgust.

"How was the last thing I told you? Brother is interesting enough for you, you can still think of you when you are in trouble, if something happens to me in the future, you can't die without help. He teased.

"Young Master Wang is joking, where will something happen to your family in this county, which rickshaw will not listen to your orders?"

After speaking, Xu Fugui sighed in his heart, no, in his impression, the time of the Wang family's scenery is only these two years.

When the New Rabbit State is established and the three reforms are carried out, the Wang family will be branded as exploitative capitalism, and all family property will be confiscated.

Wang Wenchang didn't know what he was thinking, he smiled and nodded, and suddenly became arrogant, "That is, in the realm of Yunxi, no one can steal my Wang family's business." ”

Mother Xu smiled reluctantly, let's talk about it later, he groaned, "Young Master Wang, I want to do a business and make a little money, but it's not nothing, it's not good to lose your money in vain." ”

Wang Wenchang was not disappointed when he heard it, "Okay, whatever you want, I won't tell you, I'll go to the Qinglou for a walk, I'll invite you?" ”

Xu Fugui shook his head like a rattle, "I won't go to the Qinglou either, Young Master Wang is happy to play......"
