Chapter 119: The Generous Old Man

The sumptuous lunch made everyone eat a round belly.

Chen Liping also had a great appetite in the laughter, and even ate two large bowls of white rice.

"The master is really happy, since the young master went to the provincial capital, the master hardly smiles at home, and he only eats one or two bites of food, and usually tells us to only cook one or two dishes."

"People, it's good as long as you are happy and have an appetite, you see how happy the master is smiling now, Feng Xia is also sensible, a mouthful of a grandfather, I don't know how happy I am to coax the master."

When the subordinates saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it, and they were happy for their master from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Liping is very well-behaved and very good at the scary people in the house, so these subordinates are thinking about him.

After lunch, Chen Liping called a few rickshaws and pulled Fengxia Youqing to the foreign goods store.

The items sold here are all rare goods from outside, Chen Liping is full of pride, seeing what Feng Xia and Youqing like, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to buy it directly.

After a while, Feng Xia Youqing's clothes were changed from the inside to the outside with a new set of really good clothes, and there were a lot of things to play with in her hands.

Not only that, Xu Fugui was also carrying a large package in his hand, which contained thick New Year's clothes bought for Feng Xia Youqing.

"Dad, it's almost there, I don't know, I think I'm going back to my parents' house to take advantage."

Jiazhen couldn't stand it anymore and opened her mouth to say.

Chen Liping snorted, "I love my two grandsons, what's the matter with you, do you have any clothes you like, take them away if you see them, I'm too lazy to take care of them." ”

When Jiazhen heard him say this, she was not polite, and went directly to get several sets of clothes.

Not only hers, but also Fugui, Laishun, Changgen, Xu's father and Xu's mother each took a set.

Chen Liping glanced at it and didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

This trip really cost a lot of money, and the shopkeeper in the store couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and bent down and shouted Master Chen.

In the afternoon, Xu Fugui saw that the time was almost up, so he proposed to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chen Liping said directly: "If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself, Fengxia, Youqing, can you play here for a few more days?" ”

Feng Xia's little face was full of confusion, looking at him, and then at her father, she didn't know how to answer.

Xu Fugui thought for a while and said, "Jiazhen, why don't you and Fengxia Youqing stay here with your father for a few days and accompany your father more." ”

"You're not with us?"

"I have to go back to Zhang Luo Laishun's marriage, and the crops in the field must also be taken care of, and on the day of Laishun's wedding, I will pick you and the child home."

Jiazhen agreed with a smile, she also wanted to do her filial piety.

And in the village, Fengxia Youqing's two children couldn't eat anything good, so they just asked their father to make up for them.

Hearing that Jiazhen and the two children were going to stay here, Chen Liping couldn't close his mouth with a smile, his wrinkled face was radiant, and he picked up Youqing high and put it on his neck.

Back at Chen's house, Xu Fugui wrapped all the clothes they packed in linen cloth and put them in a basket.

Just as he was about to leave, a subordinate came over with two bags of rice and put them directly in the basket.

"This, Dad, there is food to eat at home."

Chen Liping didn't look at him, and waved his hand, "Go back, Jiazhen and the two children are here with me." ”

Xu Fugui smiled, picked up the two baskets that were full, and strode outside.

Feng Xia ran out and shouted, "Dad, you must remember to come and pick me up." ”

"Okay, my father will come to pick you up in two days, don't make your grandfather angry, do you hear?"

"I hear you."

The sun was blazing, layers of heat were rolling on the ground, and a gust of wind blew, raising large clouds of sand and dust, and even the weeds on the roadside were sunburned yellow.

Xu Fugui walked out of the county seat, saw that there was no one around, and threw the basket directly into the space, and walked on the dirt road with ease.

A person's feet are very fast, and in half an hour, he came to the nameless river in front of Xujia Village.

As soon as his mind moved, the flat burden appeared on his shoulder again, and he stepped on the stones to cross the nameless river and walked towards Xujia Village.

"Fugui, I'm back, did I buy the kitchen knife I wanted?"

Several families were waiting for him at the entrance of the village, and after Xu Fugui handed over the things they asked to buy one by one, he calmly accepted their thanks.

"What about them, you won't go to the county seat and lose your mother-in-law and children." Someone joked.

"Go." Xu Fugui waved his hand, "You just left your mother-in-law and children, and they stayed with my father-in-law for two days." ”

"Tsk, it's terrible, these two bags of rice were given to you by my father-in-law."

Xu Fugui saw that their eyes were full of envy, and immediately said: "This is not given to me by my father-in-law, with his temper, it would be good if he didn't drive me out, how could he send me rice to eat." ”

"This rice was borrowed by Jiazhen and used for Laishun's daughter-in-law."

The reason why I say this is that I don't want the people in the village to feel that their family is rich, and it is better to make them feel that the poorer they are, the better.

Everyone nodded suddenly, "This Liu family is too greedy, they actually ask for three silver dollars and fifty catties of rice, could it be that Liu Cuiping, this girl is made of gold?" ”

"Fugui, if you don't let Lai Shun take a look at my girl, I don't want three silver dollars, I want fifty catties of rice."

"You are also a greedy person, fifty catties of rice is enough for a family to eat for three months, Fugui, I only need thirty catties of rice, my girl you have seen, she is a good hand at work."

Xu Fugui didn't expect that these people would actually start to promote their daughters, but most of them still joked, after all, how can such a thing be so casual.

Xu Fugui chatted with them for a few words, picked up the basket again, and returned to his yard.

"What about them? Didn't come back? Xu Mu asked.

Xu Fugui explained, and Xu's mother nodded, "It's okay to let them stay for two days, this is what your father-in-law asked you to bring back?" ”

Xu Fugui nodded, Xu's mother walked over with a cane and opened the first cloth bag, "Good rice, your in-laws have a heart, Fugui, you have to honor your father-in-law in the future." ”

Then, Xu Mu opened the second cloth bag, her face was instantly full of surprise, and she quickly closed the bag.

"Quick, carry it in, don't let anyone else see it?"

Xu Fugui carried the basket to the house, Xu's mother reopened the cloth bag, and Xu Fugui also showed a surprised expression after seeing the contents clearly.

The sack was filled with bacon and vermicelli, and at the bottom there were soybeans, and three silver dollars were buried in the soybeans.

Obviously, Chen Liping heard that they needed three silver dollars to get married, so he deliberately put it in.

Coupled with the really good clothes he bought this afternoon, Xu Fugui owes his father-in-law a lot.

Father Xu also came over to take a look and sighed, "Our Xu family can't stand Brother Liping, put these bacon noodles in the cellar, don't let the rats gnaw it, Fugui, you can not honor me in the future, but you must remember the good of your father-in-law."
