Early morning.

Thick fog filled.

There was silence.

Dew hung on the tips of the grass, the path was muddy, and a high-pitched rooster croak suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of Xujia Village.

Although it was just dawn, few people continued to lie in bed, and the hard-working people of Xujia Village got up early to work when the weather was cooler.

Otherwise, when the sun rises, the hot sun will not dare to let people go out.

Xu Fugui pushed open the heavy wooden door, looked at a wisp of red in the eastern sky, and couldn't help but smash his mouth twice.

Hey, this god is really weird.

Last night, a heavy rain came and went quickly, and when I woke up, I saw that today was another sunny and sunny day.

On a sunny day, the millet that was wet last night can be spread on the drying field and dried to avoid mold.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xu's father walked in from outside the courtyard with square steps.

"Dad, you went to the village entrance to squat again?"

"Hmph, my son still wants to take care of Lao Tzu?"

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes, the old man was getting harder and harder to serve, of course, he didn't serve much.

"I'm filial to you, you go out alone, and you say that if you fall, you won't know it."

"Can't you hope I'm better? Besides, what am I wrestling well? He was still stiff-mouthed, but his tone was much softer.

Xu Fugui shrugged, didn't bother to say, and walked into the yard to stretch.

Last night, a torrential rain knocked down a lot of bamboo leaves and leaves in the yard, scattered in the yard, and the fragrance of grass mixed with soil wafted in the air.

Xu's father picked up the bamboo broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard, Xu Fugui saw this, and took the broom in his hand.

Father Xu dodged his outstretched hand, "I'm not old enough to do anything." ”

Xu Fugui didn't force it, it was not bad to let the old man do something, and he was idle all day long.

"Fugui, did Feng Xia wake up, told her to get up and eat." Jiazhen, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the stove room, still holding bamboo chopsticks in her hand.

Xu Fugui walked back to the house, Feng Xia opened her mouth slightly, crystal saliva flowed at the corners of her mouth, and her bulging belly fell together, making Xu Fugui's heart melt.

Youqing on the side was quite rude in his sleeping position, lying on the mat on all fours, with a thin quilt pressed under him, and only a pair of pants on his body.

Xu Fugui was light-hearted, did not disturb Youqing, took Feng Xia's dress, and gently hugged Feng Xia.

As soon as she got out of bed, Feng Xia woke up slowly, rubbed her eyes, and after seeing that it was him, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep again, holding his arms with both hands subconsciously.

"Fengxia, don't sleep, get up and eat, you don't want to go to the county seat to study?" Walking out of the house, Xu Fugui shouted softly.

"Dad, but I'm so sleepy."

Xu Fugui was reluctant to wake him up, sat on the bamboo chair, and did not disturb Fengxia in his arms to sleep.

Jiazhen brought the food to the table, saw that Feng Xia was still sleeping, walked over with a funny smile, and woke Feng Xia up with a warm voice.

The child was sleepy, but once he woke up, he soon woke up, and Feng Xia, who was wearing a dress, ate fresh braised eggs and shook her head happily.

"Dad, I like to eat braised eggs the most." She said crisply.

Xu Fugui wiped the rice off her chin, "If you like to eat it, you can eat it every day." ”

After eating, Jiazhen combed Feng Xia's hair, and Xu Fugui used oilskin paper to pack half of the pig's head that had been marinated yesterday and prepared to send it to Du Yuzhi and Zhong Shouzheng.

Du Yuzhi recited his family's lo-mei more than once, and it happened that someone in Liujia Village was killing pigs, so Xu Fugui bought two pig's trotters and a whole pig's head, and of course he also bought a lot of fat and lean meat.

Most of them were smeared with salt and smoked to make bacon, and the pig's head and large intestine were made into marinated goods by him.

After packing, Feng Xia took her shoulder bag, jumped out of the house, turned her head and shouted with a smile: "Dad, mother, hurry up, I don't want to be late." ”

"It's coming, it's coming, you don't listen, you get up early."

Riding on the black horse, as soon as he walked out of the stable, he was met by Chen Yunsheng's ox cart.

There are fresh vegetables on the ox cart, and there are a lot of eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, and in order to prevent them from being damaged, they are also specially placed in the rice bran.

In addition, there are several chickens and ducks with their legs and feet tied, and a bucket of live fish, which struggle to flap their wings from time to time, but cannot escape.

"Fifth brother, send it to the state-run hotel so early today?"

The vegetables, chickens and ducks on the ox cart are all for state-run restaurants, and the money obtained from each household will also be distributed to them, which is also an important source of income for Xujia Village.

After determining that the state-run hotel is a long-term cooperation, many people are ready to increase the feeding of chickens, ducks, fish and geese.

Chen Yunsheng stood next to the buffalo, nodded, and glanced at them enviously, "Branch secretary, have you eaten?" ”

I don't know when, Chen Yunsheng no longer called him Fugui, but called him the branch secretary, Xu Fugui said a few times, Chen Yunsheng did not change, and he went.

"After eating, then I'll go first, and I'll go to the state-run hotel later."

"Cheng, don't wait for me."

The speed of the ox cart is not comparable to the speed of riding a horse, Xu Fugui clamped the horse's belly, and the black horse trotted on the muddy road in the countryside with its hooves, and disappeared at the entrance of the village after a while.

came to the county seat and sent Feng Xia and Jiazhen to school, Xu Fugui did not leave in a hurry, and stayed to see the situation of Jiazhen and Feng Xia in school.

Although it has not been long since the start of school, the two seem to have fully adapted to the change of identity.

Feng Xia walked into the classroom by herself, and Jiazhen walked into the teacher's office without hurry, preparing the content of today's class.

After a while, the familiar janitor took out a hammer and a curved iron plate, and knocked it a few times, indicating that the class bell officially rang.

Xu Fugui stood outside the classroom, Feng Xia sat in the back position because of her size, her waist was straight, reading aloud the content on the blackboard, her eyes were clear and bright.

Perhaps because she felt something, she glanced at the window, and when a father and daughter looked at each other, Feng Xia showed a sweet smile and sat more upright.

At this time, Jiazhen walked into the classroom to prepare for class, Xu Fugui waved his hand and left quietly, his mind full of Feng Xia's sweet smile.

The picture just now was the day he had dreamed of in his previous life, and it was quite satisfying for him to be able to hear Feng Xia's voice every day.

He is now working hard every day, and even plans to buy books to practice calligraphy, all in order to give his family a better life.

Leaving the classroom and walking on the playground, Cui Hong and Fan Gang walked over together, greeted him with a warm smile, and said that they would take him on a tour of the school.

Xu Fugui was stunned for a moment and waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm not a leader, how can I let you accompany me." ”

Cui Hong and Fan Gang were indeed very enthusiastic, Xu Fugui greeted them for a while, asked about Jiazhen and Feng Xia's situation, and then made an excuse to leave
