Chapter 142: Riding into the county seat

The rain stopped in the middle of the night.

The next day, Xu Fugui got up and saw that a thick fog covered the entire Xujia Village, and he couldn't see the scene 50 meters away.

The damp breeze rushed in through the open door, and he shivered, and hurriedly walked into the house, putting on a really good coat.

Breakfast was no longer rice porridge, but a pot of fragrant white rice was steamed, and the leftovers from last night were heated.

After eating, Xu Fugui wiped his mouth, took out the bronze mirror to look in the mirror, and took out a razor to shave carefully.

"Dad, you're not going to the field, are you?"

Youqing asked while holding a rattle in his hand and shaking it with a knock-dong sound.

"Dad went to the city, Youqing, do you have anything you want?"

Youqing is also a clever ghost, so he waited for his words, and immediately said, "I want to eat steamed buns." ”

Jiazhen, who was wearing an apron, walked over, her face was ruddy, her skin was delicate and smooth, and her watery almond eyes still had a touch of style.

"Fugui, don't buy things for the two children every time you go to the city, and spoil them."

After speaking, she said to Youqing with a straight face: "You too, if you want to eat steamed buns, why don't you just give you a bun, how delicious is it to buy outside?" ”

Youqing was not afraid of Jiazhen at all, and hugged her leg with a smile, "Mother, can you steam steamed buns for me to eat?" ”

Jiazhen looked at him with a smile and pinched his fleshy little face, "Fugui, when you come back, buy a few catties of flour and make buns for this glutton." ”

Xu Fugui put down the razor and nodded.

"Sister, sister, my mother wants to steam steamed buns to eat!" Youqing happily went to find Fengxia.

"Brother, I also want to go to the county seat." Lai Shun said angrily, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"What are you doing in the county seat?"

"I just want to go to the county seat with you."

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes, and put his index finger and middle finger together to give him a burst of his head, "It's okay, right, Cui Ping has a big belly, aren't you watching at home?" ”

Liu Cuiping sat on the bamboo chair with her waist propped up, her green little face with maternal love, and gently stroked her stomach, "Brother Fugui, you just let me go, I won't get in the way." ”

Xu Fugui glared at Lai Shun fiercely again, "Cuiping is such a good girl, what are you going to do if you don't hold her in the palm of your hand?" I didn't go to the county seat to play. ”

Liu Cuiping blushed and said coquettishly: "Brother Fugui, I don't want to be held in the palm of my hand, I am ashamed to death." ”

Lai Shun's face was swollen and red, looking at Cuiping's big belly, he laughed.

Xu Fugui patted him on the shoulder, "You stay at home with Cuiping, besides, I'm riding a horse, will you ride a horse?" ”

Lai Shun nodded in frustration, and hurriedly said the next second: "Brother, then you have to teach me to ride a horse when you come back." ”

"Okay, okay, you don't know if those three horses can stand it."

Xu Fugui walked into the house, took off his coat and coarse cloth pants, and put on his black pants and shirt.

The hem of the shirt is inserted into the pants, and the whole person immediately looks mentally mature, and the already slender legs appear longer.

Broad shoulders and thin waist, strong chest, the shirt is well propped up.

It was a little cold, and he put on his gray coat, when Jiazhen walked in, opened the small wooden box, and took two silver dollars and handed them to him.

Xu Fugui took it, put it in his clothes pocket, and then took out a pot of marinade from the space.

This pot of marinade was made when he was in the lo-mei business before, and he was reluctant to throw it away at that time, so he simply put it in the space.

"Youqing hasn't tasted lo-mei yet, so I have time to cook it for him to taste."

Feng Xia looked at the jelly-like marinade, nodded happily, and said a little unconfidently: "I haven't cooked lo-mei for several years, and I forgot how to cook it." ”

Xu Fugui smiled and put on a wide-brimmed straw hat, "Then I'm leaving?" ”

Jiazhen stopped him, "Fugui, you go to the county seat to get a haircut by the way, and buy a good hat, you are a branch secretary, what's the matter with wearing a straw hat all day long." ”

Xu Fugui laughed twice and agreed with a smile.

In fact, he felt that the straw hat was quite comfortable to wear.

said hello to Xu's father and Xu's mother, walked out of the house, went straight to the entrance of the village, and walked into this generous house.

"Branch Secretary."

In the stable, Bai Qiaoyan was cleaning horse manure with a bamboo broom, and when she saw him, she hurriedly said hello.

She was dressed in a black coarse cloth garment, which was very fat, completely covering her figure, her hair was a little messy, but her eyes were full of light.

Xu Fugui took the black horse out of the stable and asked casually, "You haven't been used to it for the past two days, right?" ”

Bai Qiaoyan has been an aunt's wife for a few years, and she is relatively wealthy in life, but now she has to do these rough jobs.

But she didn't want Bai Qiaoyan to shake her head, "It's good, I'm very down-to-earth." ”

Xu Fugui didn't think much about it, "That's good, what about the others?" ”

Long Er has a lot of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, and he will definitely not be able to raise them by one person, so in addition to Bai Qiaoyan, Chen Yunsheng's daughter-in-law Zhu Fang, and Hu Xingwang's daughter-in-law were all selected as breeders.

"It's still early, and I'm thinking I'm going to sweep the stable."

Xu Fugui nodded thoughtfully, "Sister Qiaoyan, work hard, I won't let you do it in vain." ”

Bai Qiaoyan grinned.

Xu Fugui turned over on his horse, grabbed the reins in his hand, and shook it slightly, "Drive!" ”

The black horse trotted obediently on the country road, and disappeared at the entrance of the village in a short time. Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Fugui took out two carrots from the space, bent down and put them in the mouth of the black horse.

The black horse sighed excitedly, opened his mouth to chew, and ran more widely, and the tail behind him swayed.

The dirt road was muddy, Xu Fugui rode on horseback, enjoying the surrounding scenery peacefully, and the cloth shoes on his feet did not have to be taken off.

Coming to the nameless river in front of the village entrance, the black horse was obviously not the first time to come, and skillfully stepped on the rocks to pass through the river.

To tell the truth, Xu Fugui was a little nervous in his heart, for fear that the dark horse would slip and fall into the river unsteadily.

Coming to the wide dirt road, the black horse appeared more free, and the speed was much faster, and the surrounding scenery quickly regressed.

She rode much faster than she could walk on her own, and in about half an hour he saw the walls of the county seat.

At that time, the golden morning sun rose, dispelling the heavy fog, and the melodious birdsong sounded in the mountains and forests.

In the fields on both sides of the dirt road, the farmer was working hard in it, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he looked up, and his eyes could not help showing envy.

When he came to the city gate, Xu Fugui gently lifted the reins, and the black horse immediately stopped, standing quietly on the side of the road, with an even breath.

The dark horse's physical strength seems to be very good, and after running for thirty minutes, he is still full of energy and physical strength.

Xu Fugui patted its head affectionately, "I'll go back and give you more food." ”

He led the horse into the city gate, found a shop where he could store his horses, and tied the black horse to a thick wooden stake
