Xu's father is old, and it often takes a lot of time to squat in the pit.

Xu Fugui couldn't figure it out, obviously he needed to walk with crutches, but he could squat in the pit for so long.

And unless it's raining, it's been the same for decades, and except for the last time, there has never been a fall.

"Dad, why did you suddenly fall last time?" In the night, Xu Fugui asked curiously.

Xu's father carried a kerosene lamp, and the light flickered in the breeze, illuminating his wrinkled face.

He snorted softly, reluctant to answer.

Feng Xia put her hands around his neck, pressed her hot little face to his face, and whispered, "Dad, why is your face so cold, and your body so warm." ”

Xu Fugui pasted her little face, her face was like a peeled egg, white and delicate, and she couldn't find a few children with better skin than Feng Xia.

"Giggles, Dad, it's time to shave your beard, it's so itchy for me." Feng Xia chuckled.

"Okay, I'll let your mother shave me when I get home."

"I'm going to shave my dad too."

"Okay, dad asked Fengxia to shave me too."

Feng Xia turned her head to look at it, and asked again, "Grandpa, your beard is so long, why don't you shave it?" ”

Father Xu squinted his eyes, "I'm afraid that if you shave Fengxia, you won't be able to remember me." ”

Feng Xia shook her head into a rattle, "No matter what grandpa looks like, Feng Xia will never forget you." ”

As he spoke, the night gradually rose, the sun was sunny during the day, the wind at night was biting, and the full moon like a porcelain plate in the sky added a bit of coolness.

Xu's father scraped it with a piece of bamboo, got up and tied his trouser belt, walked slowly towards the village with a cane, and Xu Fugui followed behind with Fengxia in his arms.

When it gets dark, Xujia Village is also quiet, no one still lights kerosene lamps luxuriously, and most of them go to bed after eating before dark.

In many cases, the harvesters who have worked all day do not even want to wash their feet, and when they come back, they cannot eat the tired food, so they have to sit for a while before they can eat.

After eating, although they didn't want to wash their feet, the family still brought them a basin of hot water for the working man to burn well.

There are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, so hot, and then sleep comfortably, and get up the next day with strength.

When they got home, Changgen and Laishun were already asleep, and Jiazhen was alone in front of the stove, and the pot was steaming.

When he saw Father Xu coming back, he immediately went to get a wooden basin and prepared to wash his feet.

"Jiazhen, you go and rest, I'll serve him." Xu Fugui took the wooden basin in her hand.

The corners of Xu's father's mouth raised, and he hummed and said: "From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you caused trouble, Lao Tzu will wipe your ass as many times, and my son serves Lao Tzu, that is a matter of course." ”

"Jiazhen, you go and have a good rest, leave this beast alone."

Jiazhen couldn't cry or laugh, and with great difficulty, she hugged Feng Xia over, touched her little face, and tapped her nose, "It's as cold as ice, don't go out with your father next time." ”

Feng Xia smiled, raised her head and said, "Mother, I also have to wash my feet." ”

"Okay, let your dad pour you water."

Xu Fugui poured hot water from two wooden basins, one of which was taken to Xu's father's own room, and went to bed directly after washing it later, and poured the footwashing water tomorrow morning.

The other wooden basin was naturally prepared for Feng Xia.

He put a small wooden bench in front of the wooden basin, and took off Feng Xia's cloth shoes, revealing a pair of fleshy little feet.

"Well, Feng Xia's feet really stink." Xu Fugui pretended to be disgusted and said.

Feng Xia didn't get angry when she heard this, and asked very seriously: "Do Daddy's feet stink?" ”

"Daddy's feet don't stink."

"Why are Fengxia's feet smelly?"

As she spoke, Feng Xia stretched her feet in front of him, "Dad, you help me smell it, is it smelly?" ”

Xu Fugui really leaned in and sniffed it, and shook his head, "It doesn't stink, it's fragrant." ”

Jiazhen: "You're not dirty. ”

"Why are our daughter's feet dirty?"

Xu Fugui put Feng Xia's feet into the wooden basin and gently washed her feet.

After washing, Xu Fugui put his feet in to soak, and Jiazhen used a wooden ladle to add new hot water from the pot to come in.

"Jiazhen, come and wash it together."

Jiazhen shook her head slightly, "I want to take a shower." ”

"I'll wash with you."

Jiazhen rolled her eyes and went to get ready to change her clothes.

Xu Fugui washed his feet and carried Feng Xia to the house, and after a while, Feng Xia, who had been playing for a day, fell asleep.

After Feng Xia fell asleep, she was like a kitten, obedient and quiet, motionless, Xu Fugui kissed her on the forehead and quietly walked out of the house.

Pour hot water from the iron pot into the wooden bucket and help the orchid carry it to the bathhouse, and the kerosene lamp is also hung on the wall.

"Fugui, you are guarding outside, and you are not allowed to sneak into the house, do you know?" Jia Zhen instructed.

At night, she couldn't see her fingers, and if no one was with her, she wouldn't dare to take a bath.

Xu Fugui nodded and whispered, "Why don't I go in and wash with you?" Sweating out, I wanted to take a shower. ”

Jiazhen pursed her lips, "Let my father and mother know that you can't be ashamed." Her voice was low like a mosquito.

Xu Fugui sighed, "Okay, then you go wash it, I'll guard outside." ”

Jiazhen glanced at him, took his hand, walked into the bathtub, and gently closed the bamboo door.

The night breeze gently stirred the thatch on the roof, and the bright moonlight crept in through the cracks, until the water was cold, and the two of them began to bathe.

"It's all your fault, I have to go get hot water again." A small voice came from the bathhouse.

"I'm going to fetch water."

After saying this, there was a sound of dressing in the bathhouse, and Xu Fugui, who casually put on a simple dress, walked out of it.

After re-boiling the hot water, the two of them began to take a shower, but they also washed for an hour before they both walked out of it.

It's about nine o'clock in the evening, and in a developed society decades later, nightlife hasn't even started yet.

But now the night is already deep, and the Xujia Village shrouded in darkness is extremely quiet, and the earth dog that usually likes to bark has also fallen asleep.

The two quietly walked into the house, got into the bed, and hugged each other tightly.

"Jiazhen, I can't sleep."

Lying down for a while, Xu Fugui whispered.

Jiazhen's little face was pressed against his strong chest, "I can't sleep either, but we should sleep, I have nothing to do, but you still have to work tomorrow." ”

Xu Fugui felt very down-to-earth in his heart, "Your hair hasn't dried yet, we'll sleep when your hair is dry." ”

Jiazhen hummed softly in a nasal voice, and suddenly said, "Fugui, you must not exhaust yourself, you have to work more leisurely." ”

"I'm not tired, but you, just gave birth, and you're still busy all day long."

"I'm not tired." Jiazhen rubbed in his arms, "You used to be a young master, I don't know how you can endure these hardships." ”

Xu Fugui shook his head, "It's not bitter, with you with me, it's not bitter at all......"
