Chapter 885 We have a strong backer
Zhou Guo said: "They stay in the village all year round, so they can't talk all the time. But you are different. You will leave tomorrow, so I have to stay with you more."
Zhou Dacang asked, "Are they okay? Are they still close to our family in recent years? Have the old village head and his group made things difficult for our family?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "They are all fine. The villagers are getting better and better, and their children are all in school. In the early years, they said they didn't ask for anything else, just study for two years and don't become blind. Now, although no one says it explicitly, everyone knows that they want to take the imperial examination. Even Aunt Qian next door thinks so."
"As for the old village head and his group, they do come to our house from time to time, but our family has been getting better and better in recent years, so they dare not say anything to embarrass us, let alone be arrogant, because they know I won't buy it. In recent years, pine mushrooms have appeared in many places. Anyone can go to these mountains, and they have made a lot of money in recent years."
Zhou Dacang nodded, feeling relieved knowing that everyone's life was getting better, and said, "I don't know when I will be back, so you should take care of the family. As for those big families in the north, don't be afraid. If they bully us, we are not easy to deal with."
At this point, he couldn't help but touch her head, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Our Guoguo has a great backer!"
Zhou Guo said proudly, "That's right. Don't you see who my uncle is? He's a general! If he does that in the future, he might be given the title of Zhenyuan General! Who dares to offend him?"
Zhou Dacang smiled but said nothing.
The two talked for a while, and then Zhou Suli and Li Lai also came.
Poor Zhou Mai and the others couldn't leave. Li and Wu Ya were entertaining the female members of the family, so they had to stay and entertain the men. With so many guests, the men in the family had to accompany them.
Zhou Gu was the only one there, which seemed a bit disrespectful. Besides, the children of these families who were about to go to school were also there. The adults specifically asked them to give them some guidance on their studies, so how could they escape?
Zhou Su and Li Lai talked to the two of them about the situation in the room with a smile.
Zhou Dacang said with emotion, "I never thought that everyone can go to school now. Life in the north is getting better and better. It doesn't feel like a chaotic world, it's like heaven. Life is better than when I was a child. Everyone's life has become better."
If he had not made a trip to the south and stayed in the north, he would not have believed that this would be a time of chaos. The outside world was in chaos, and the people were living in dire straits every day. They had no food to eat, and could not survive the next day. The bark of trees and the roots of grass had all been eaten, and many people even exchanged their own children for food. There were patches of wasteland everywhere.
And the North...
His eyes couldn't help but turn to Zhou Guo, and saw that she was listening to Zhou Su and the others talking with a smile. He really couldn't believe that this little person had such great power. She was obviously a idiot before she was eight years old, but once she woke up, she became a lucky star for so many people.
At least half of the reason why the North is so prosperous today is because of her.
Thinking of this, he recalled the rumors in the army, which several generals had mentioned to him more or less.
Even though she has never met the general, he has already recognized her as his goddaughter!
This is simply unheard of in history!
It was already late at night when we finally sent these people away.
The family started to have supper and set up a kang.
Everyone kept picking up food for Zhou Dacang.
"Uncle, eat more of this. The food in the army is not good. I don't know how long it will take for you to eat at home next time."
Li asked, "Then he should be able to come out by Qingming at the latest, right?"
Zhou Dacang shook his head, "Second sister-in-law, this time it will take at least a year or two, and the return date is uncertain, so you don't have to wait for me."
Li frowned, "We will wait for you even if your return date is uncertain. How can we not wait? We will wait for you no matter how long it takes."
Zhou Su said: "You are right, you are our uncle, this is your home, how can we not wait for you."
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I feel very relieved. There will always be someone waiting for me at home."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo looked at the laughter at the table and felt uncomfortable. It was really uncomfortable to feel like the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.
He lowered his head and ate his meal silently.
The old man glanced at her black head and gave her a piece of deer tendon with chopsticks. "What's wrong? Did you lose your appetite and get cold?"
Everyone looked up immediately. This was terrible. Zhou Guo rarely got sick, but whenever he got sick it was a big deal.
Zhou Guo shook his head and smiled: "I'm fine, I just ate too many snacks, I'm not that hungry."
Everyone was stunned.
Li said, "Then eat more food. There are many dishes you like today."
Zhou Dacang said with a smile: "With such a big stomach of yours, how many snacks can fill it? You don't even want to eat?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo said: "What's the matter? I haven't stopped talking all day."
She really didn't feel hungry. Although Zhou Dacang was a glorious general in the front army, he was also the most dangerous. She was in an uncertain situation whether she would live or die, and no one in her family would know. If anything happened to her, she would become a sinner.
After the midnight snack, it was already past midnight and the family celebrated the New Year.
After putting away their things, everyone went to sleep on the kang in their clothes.
Anyway, the kang is big enough for them to sleep on. Besides, they have to get up after sleeping for a short while, so they are too lazy to bother.
The family lay on the warm kang, talking to each other, and fell asleep one after another.
When Zhou Guo opened his eyes, Zhou Dacang, Li Shi, and Wu Ya were all up.
Li had already packed up her things and whispered to Zhou Da Cang, telling him what this was and what that was, and when to eat that and when to use it. Zhou Da Cang agreed to everything.
When it was daybreak and the family had finished their meal, Zhou Guo drove the carriage to take Zhou Dacang out of the village.
The villagers saw this and said, "It's only the first day of the new year, where are you going?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I'm going to the county town. If you have nothing to do, come over and sit for a while. My mother is at home and there's no one to talk to."
"Oh, that's fine. I'll go when I'm free. I haven't chatted with your mother for a long time."
With that being said, who would dare to wonder where she was going in her carriage?
He spends most of the year away from home, and has to go out again after just a few days back. How can they control him?
Zhou Guo sent Zhou Dacang to a place outside the county town and then stopped.
The two men went out. Zhou Dacang rode his horse, carrying several large bags, and looked at Zhou Guo without saying a word.
Zhou Guo didn't say anything either. He had already said everything he wanted to say.
She stood on the edge of the car, gathered her cloak, and said, "Uncle, you go ahead. I will take good care of the house and wait for you to come back home."
Zhou Dacang looked at her deeply, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran away.
After a while, it disappeared from sight.
Zhou Guo stood and watched for a long time, then sighed, got into the carriage, and said to Hu Zi, "Go back."
