After a few more days, Xu Fugui found that the number of soldiers at the city gate had increased to a full six.

Everyone who entered and left the city was to be strictly screened on suspicion of being an enemy subordinate.

People didn't dare to resist, thinking that they weren't enemies anyway, so they could search for it.

As a result, these six soldiers were bold, and when they searched their bodies, they found that there were fiat currency and copper coins in their purses, and they directly carried them into their arms.

When I met a good-looking girl, my two hands were not honest when I searched my body, and the people who provoked me looked at me angrily.

As a result, fewer and fewer people are willing to come to the county seat, especially those girls' families, whose families strictly prohibit them from going to the county seat, and the county town is becoming more and more deserted.

Business is getting more and more difficult to do, and even Lai Shun complained: "If this continues, the pants will be lost." ”

The amount of lo-mei they sell is still the same as before, but now they can sell half of it, and the rest can only be lost in their hands.

When the temperature rises, the next day it will taste rancid, and it will not be able to continue selling.

The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and even the common people have sensed that something is wrong and try to avoid going to the county seat.

On this day, the sun hung high in the sky, and a few huge white clouds were scattered in the air, and the wind swept over the ground, raising a puff of sand and dust.

Xu Fugui sat on the ridge of the field, looking at the evenly distributed rice seedlings in the paddy field, his eyes were blank, and his mouth was unconsciously biting the grass.

"Dad, doesn't it hurt in the sun?"

A crisp and loud voice sounded in her ears, and when she turned her head, Feng Xia was struggling to carry a bamboo basket, looking up and smiling, and she was followed by Jiazhen and Ping'an.

Ping An seemed to enjoy the sunshine, wagging his tail happily, and satin-like dog hair fluttering in the wind.

Xu Fugui came back to his senses, hugged Feng Xia and put it on his lap, and asked Jiazhen: "Is the lo-mei cooked?" ”

Jiazhen hummed softly and said with a smile: "Are you tired, do you want to go home and sleep for a while?" ”

After speaking, he didn't dislike it, and sat on the ridge next to him.

Xu Fugui shook his head, "I'm not tired." ”

Jiazhen looked at her with almond eyes, her eyes were watery, like a pool of spring water, extremely clear, Fengxia's eyes inherited Jiazhen, just as beautiful.

"Then what are you thinking, you didn't react when Feng Xia and I came." Under the sunshine, the family treasure is ruddy and slightly moving, the sound is like a spring breeze, and the spring breeze is like a spring flowing through the chest.

Xu Fugui's mind suddenly became calm and peaceful, and he said softly: "Jiazhen, I'm afraid the lo-mei business will stop for a while." ”

The time for the war is getting closer and closer, and he is getting more and more panicked, he doesn't want to be dragged to be a strong man anymore.

This period of limelight, he wanted to avoid the past.

Jiazhen's long and curved eyelashes moved, tilted his head and asked, "Then let's not do it, farm well at home, and the family can also eat enough." ”

"You don't ask me why?"

Jiazhen: "Don't ask, you must have your own considerations." ”

Xu Fugui explained: "You also know the situation in the county, it is cold and tight, and if you continue to do it, I am afraid that you will lose your pants." ”

Jiazhen sneered, "I just want to tell you about this for the past two days, but I'm afraid you won't be reluctant." ”

Xu Fugui said happily: "The business will stop for a while, and when the world gets better, let's go to the county seat to sell it. ”

"When we save money, we will buy a house with a yard in the county, so that we don't have to run back and forth, Fengxia has a celebration and it is convenient to study, and you can go to see your father at any time."

Jiazhen had a yearning look in her eyes and pursed her lips, "Daddy won't go to live in the county seat." ”

Xu Fugui snorted, "My mother will definitely go with me, but my father is an old-fashioned man, and he wants to stay in the village all his life, guarding the ancestral grave and family business of the Xu family." ”

"He doesn't want to think about it, these family businesses are not his, what's the use of guarding them."

Jiazhen stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, "I haven't seen my son teach his father a lesson." ”

Xu Fugui smiled, "Isn't this for you." ”

Jiazhen patted the ash on his body, "Okay, you know how to coax me, let's talk about it later, what about the lo-mei at home, I just gave it to the lo-mei." ”

"If it's sold tomorrow, it won't be sold."

"Mother, aren't we here to cut sheep grass, why are you patronizing and talking to your father."

Feng Xia couldn't sit still and spoke.

"Okay, my mother will take you to mow the grass."

In the waning mountains, Xu Fugui came out of the field, first sat on the ridge to clean the mud on his feet, and then returned home with straw sandals.

and Xu's father and Xu's mother said about suspending the lo-mei business, and the two of them also had no opinion, after all, no one was willing to continue the loss-making business.

Then he came to Chen Yunsheng and Sun Daotang's house and told the matter the same thing.

"Not for sale? Alas, well, the world is really chaotic. ”

When the two heard this, they felt very pity, but they were helpless.

At dinner, Xu Fugui extravagantly cut a plate of pig's head meat, mixed with spicy sauce and chives.

Putting it on the table, he said with a smile: "After eating this meal, I don't know when I will be able to eat the lo-mei next time." ”

Feng Xia stood on the chair, "Dad, the lo-mei is so delicious, why can't you eat it in the future?" ”

Xu Fugui put on a smock for her to prevent her clothes from getting dirty, "because my father won't sell lo-mei in the future." ”

"Will the children in the village not be able to eat after that?"

Xu Fugui snorted and scratched her nose gently, "Old-fashioned, who did you learn to talk to, you are not a child yourself?" ”

Feng Xia said seriously: "I'm already five years old, and I'll be a big child soon." ”

"Haha, okay, my Fengxia is a big child."

Feng Xia chattered while eating, diluting the heavy atmosphere at the dinner table.

In the future, without the income of the lo-mei business, they will not have a good time just by farming, and they will naturally not be happy.

The next day, Xu Fugui and Lai Shun, as usual, got up early, and walked out of Xujia Village when the sky was still white, stepping on the stones and passing through the nameless river, towards the county seat.

"Young master, don't we have to get up so early in the future?" Laishun raised his mouth, yawned widely, and asked.

The wind in the early morning was a little cold, Xu Fu clasped his hands on his chest, shrunk his neck and hummed, "I can sleep more tomorrow, and I don't have to walk dozens of miles every day." ”

Lai Shun pulled up his trouser legs, with a slight force, the muscles on his calves were distinct, and he smiled, "Those girls in the village secretly praised me for my strength." ”

"Then which girl do you have a crush on? You're about the same age, and you should be planning to have a child. ”

Lai Shun rolled his eyes, "I have to think about it, the village is too familiar, I think there are a few beautiful ...... in other villages"
