An ordinary ceramic jar, shaped like a simple pig, I don't know what it was used for before.

But I don't think it's anything valuable.

When the old man heard him say this, he lowered his eyelids and said, "I know that this thing is not valuable, and I can exchange it for as much as I can, but there is really no food at home." ”

Xu Fugui sighed, put the ceramic jar on the stall, thought about it, and took out a string of copper coins from his body and gave it to him.

"Twenty copper coins, is it possible?"

The old man hurriedly took it, "Okay, okay, you can buy a pound of grains." ”

Xu Fugui waved his hand and motioned for them to leave, and he was upset to see these bitter things.

The old man put away the copper coins and opened his mouth, his eyes a little hesitant.

Xu Fugui raised his eyelids and asked patiently: "Old man, if you have anything else, you might as well tell me, maybe I can help you." ”

The old man was ruthless and pushed his granddaughter, "Boss, is there a shortage of people in your family, I don't want money, I just want my granddaughter to have one more way to live." ”

Xu Fugui glanced at the timid little girl, "Old man, aren't you afraid that I will sell your granddaughter?" ”

The old man was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I can't help with this." ”

After speaking, he picked up a boiled egg from the stall and put it in the little girl's hand, and said softly: "Take good care of grandpa, do you know?" ”

The little girl looked up at her grandfather and nodded vigorously.

The old man sighed, with some despair in his eyes, said a word of thanks, and left with his body bent.

"Young master, these two people are so pitiful." Lai Shun said in a muffled voice.

Xu Fugui sat back on the wooden bench, "There are more poor people, it's good to take care of yourself." ”

Lai Shun wanted to say something, but when he saw that a guest came to the door, he greeted the guest first, and the old man's affairs were in the back of his mind after a while.

"Young master, business is not bad today." When it was noon, Lai Shun looked at the clean lo-mei stall and said with a grin.

Xu Fugui happily put all the copper coins into the black clay pot, "Thanks to the blessings of the restaurant and the teahouse." ”

Their geographical location is good, and the reason why they can sell out in advance today is that they have a lot of blessings for Wang's Restaurant and Tongyou Tea Tavern.

Many people like to drink with a dish of braised pork or braised vegetables.

"Call it a day."

The two of them wiped the lo-mei stall clean with a wet linen cloth, put the seasonings and benches away, and put the stall in the back kitchen of Wang's Restaurant.

Then he went to a few nearby pork stalls and bought the leftover pork and haggis they sold at a bargain.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the noon sun shrank the shadows into a small ball, Xu Fugui looked at the sky, and pulled Kang Baozi to Tongyou Tea Tavern.

"Boss Xu, Boss Kang, here, sit here, what do you want to drink?" When Du Shanying saw them, he immediately got up and greeted them warmly.

Led by her, the three of them sat at a wooden table against the wall, and the chairs were comfortable rattan chairs.

Xu Fugui looked at the blackboard at the front desk and chose the cheapest Baihao tea.

"Boss Xu can read?" Du Shanying asked in surprise.

"I've been to a private school before, so don't call me Boss Xu, I'm not used to it, just call me Fugui."

"Hehe, okay, let's have tea."

Du Shanying greeted them with a few words, and went to work on other things, Xu Fugui took a sip of tea, it tasted good, but it was like that.

He doesn't pay attention to drinking tea, it doesn't matter if the tea is good or bad, and he can't taste any profound taste.

After a cup of tea, the three got up and left.

Trekking for more than two hours under the bright sunshine, stepping on the stones and walking through a river, a few hundred meters ahead, is the entrance of Xujia Village.

"Uncle Gui is back, Uncle Gui, Uncle Gui!"

As always, the children of the village gathered at the entrance of the village, and when they saw him one by one, they shouted excitedly.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

In the crowd, Feng Xia's voice was crisp and loud, and she ran over from the crowd, followed by a little yellow dog barking at her.

Xu Fugui lifted Feng Xia high, turned around twice, and then put her around her neck, making Feng Xia giggle.

"Let's all go back, ah, the lo-mei is sold out, and I won't have anything for you to eat today."

The children were a little disappointed, but they still said loudly, "Uncle, we don't want to eat lo-mei." ”

"You liared, just now you said if you could let my father give you lo-mei." Feng Xia said bluntly, and the others denied it with red faces.

Xu Fugui listened to the chatter around him, laughed, and all the fatigue in his body dissipated, "Let's go home safely." ”

"The emperor recruited me as a son-in-law, but I won't go to ...... long way"

Feng Xia rode on his neck, singing a ballad in a milky voice, and there was only one sentence over and over again.

"Fengxia, where did you learn it?"

"I learned it from my father." Feng Xia squinted and said.

"Me?" Xu Fugui laughed dumbly, he remembered that he hadn't sung this ballad for a long time.

Feng Xia nodded: "Dad used to sing a lot, but I only know this one, Dad, can you teach me to sing?" ”

"Okay, Daddy will teach you to sing."

He cleared his throat and sang loudly: "The emperor recruited me as a son-in-law ~ The road is far away ~ I won't go ......"

Singing a folk song home, Jiazhen tied a black apron and was washing clothes in the yard.

"The whole village can hear your voice, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes." Jiazhen wiped the water stains on his hands and walked over to take the bamboo basket on his back.

The back basket was filled with miscellaneous items, such as kettles, kitchen knives, clay pots, etc.

"I sing my own, I'm afraid that others will laugh at something." Xu Fugui is right.

Jiazhen glanced at him with all kinds of charms, "Fengxia, come down quickly and let your father eat." ”

"I don't." Feng Xia hugged his head.

"That's it, we can't come down." Xu Fugui grabbed Feng Xia's ankle to prevent her from falling.

"You're going to get used to her."

Jiazhen walked into the stove room and brought out the hot food in the pot.

"Fugui is back." Mother Xu was making cloth shoes, and after seeing him, she said with a smile.

"Mother, who are you making cloth shoes for?"

"I made it for you, you and Laishun walked a lot, a few hours a day, and it cost a lot of shoes."

Xu Fugui threw a big mouthful of rice. He said vaguely: "Let's just wear straw sandals, don't break your eyes." ”

"No, no, no."

Xu Fugui was helpless, "Where did Dad and Changgen go?" ”

"Gone to the field."

"In the ground? What are you doing in the field, don't bump into it. ”

"Don't worry, they just went to see, and they weren't children, so they were worried about what he was doing."

Together with Laishun, he finished all the meals left behind and went to Chen Yunsheng and Sun Daotang's house.

Pigs are still not in the water, and no one kills pigs and sheep after the year, but there are a lot of eggs and duck eggs.

Subsequently, he and Lai Shun rolled up their sleeves and began to clean the pig and haggis, Jiazhen and Feng Xia wanted to help, but they were blocked by him.

"You're tired enough with the kids, just go and rest if you're fine......"
