Chapter 1040 Days at Home
The two of them ate up all the food on the table elegantly.
At night, Zhou Guo lay on his bed, covered himself with his quilt, found a comfortable position, and sighed with contentment.
It’s more comfortable to sleep in bed in this kind of weather, and the bed at home is even more comfortable.
She felt so comfortable that she didn't want to close her eyes. She passed away after a few days, one less sleep a day.
The next day, after dinner, she went to check on the peppers planted by the old man. They had only been planted a few days ago and had not yet sprouted.
The old man said from behind: "I will take good care of it. It's useless for you to watch it now."
Zhou Guo turned around and saw him dressed like this. He asked, "Are you going into the mountains again? Alone?"
The old man pointed in the direction of the market and said, "I'm going to look for my old friend to see if he's free these days to go fishing in the mountains."
Zhou Guo was surprised and said, "At this time? The water is no different from an ice hole. What about after a while? Moreover, along the way, every time you saw a big mountain, you would go in and take a look. Haven't you had enough hunting?"
The old man didn't listen and waved at her, "I'm just going to see an old friend. I've been busy with your stuff for so many days since I came back. I haven't left the house yet. Don't worry about me."
He walked away staggeringly.
Zhou Guo smiled as he looked at his back. The old man now had something to do after returning home. In the past few years, he also made many old friends. Most of the time, he didn't go home except for working in the vegetable fields.
After Zhou Guo checked the vegetable garden, he took Dashu and Xiaoshu to the farm.
Several people were carrying large baskets of candies of various kinds.
She hadn't come back for a long time, so she gave everyone some candies to sweeten their mouths.
The people in the village knew she was back last night, and when they saw her coming, those who had nothing to do came over.
But before they could get close, a big black dog rushed up, wagging its tail and barking.
Zhou Guo reached out to catch it, patted its big head, and said with a smile: "How dare you! I'm not at home, and you seem to have gained weight. Did you snatch food from the kids?"
Hei Dadan hummed and stuck out his tongue.
"Master, you are finally back. You were away for a long time this time. Hu Zi came back during the Chinese New Year and said that you went to the south. You went really far!"
"Master, how is the south now? Will we have the opportunity to go to the south in the future?"
Zhou Guo asked, "Why, you don't want to stay at home, you all want to go out?"
The man who spoke smiled and said, "I just want to go out and have a look. I came from the south and want to go back to my hometown. Master, is it possible for you to buy a farm in my hometown so that I can go there to make fertilizer? Is that okay?"
Before Zhou Guo could say anything, the others could not help but sneer, "You are thinking very nicely, return your hometown? Everyone thinks so, why don't we just stop working and go back to our hometown?"
"That's right. And when you were fleeing, didn't you follow the people from your hometown? Even if your hometown is stable now, those people are gone. There's no point in going back if you don't have anyone you know."
"That's right. We are still together. Wherever we go is home."
Zhou Guo couldn't get a word in.
These people were the ones who were with Wu Jiang and his group, as well as the group that came to them later.
Life has gotten better these years, who wouldn’t want to go back to their hometown?
Even her mother wanted to go, and everyone in the family wanted to go, but they didn't dare to. There was nothing left at home, not a single familiar person. It would be useless to go back, and it would just be sad to see them.
Among them, Zhou Guo saw the ones she picked up in Yunzhou.
Zhao came forward and asked, "How are you doing? Are you learning what I asked you to learn?"
Everyone who comes to her farm has to learn to be literate. It is not acceptable to be illiterate. At least you have to know how to do accounting. You can't be blind. If you go out to do business or work as a shop assistant, you will be easily cheated.
Several people nodded and said excitedly: "We have learned it all. We have finished learning the Three Character Classic."
I can recognize a lot of words now.
Zhou Guo said: "You must study hard. If you don't, you will have to stay in the manor and do odd jobs for the rest of your life."
A few people paused, then said hesitantly, "Actually... it's pretty good to stay on the farm for the rest of your life. You'll have food to eat, shelter to live in, meat to eat, and clothes to wear. You'll also earn so much every month that you can't spend it all, and you'll save quite a bit in a year."
They all have no ambition and are easily satisfied.
Zhou Guo looked at the oldest one, who was considered the boss among them, "What about you? Do you think so too?"
"No, no, no, I want to go out, just like Butler Wu and Butler Tiger!"
Who doesn’t want to be like Mr. Tiger, respected wherever he goes, even the landlords have to be respectful to him.
Dashu and Xiaoshu were whispering in the back. They also envied Huzi. Many people wanted to be as good as him, but how many were so good?
After so many years, aren't the ones who are always around the master still the same?
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "If you want to be like them, you have to learn more."
She asked Dashu and Xiaoshu to distribute the candies they brought to everyone, and then went to the mountains.
This is the season when sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms come out.
I have sold two batches in these days.
The mountains are full of people picking mushrooms.
Hei Dadan led the way.
She walked in the mountains, looking at the places that had been opened up over the years, and they were already very different from when they first started.
This mountain is huge, and the land in the north is cheap. Many people thought she was crazy for spending that much money to buy such a huge mountain.
My family also thinks it is not cost-effective, but they have already earned the money over the years. For this reason, the mountains in the north have risen a lot in recent years.
Everyone greeted her.
Even though she hasn't been back for a few months, everyone still misses her.
Although those who stayed on the farm could not go out, the money they earned at home was not much less than what they earned outside. During the busy months, they sometimes earned more than in the shop.
What we eat and wear these years can be compared with those of ordinary small landlords.
They are richer than many families in the village. Everyone is very grateful to Zhou Guo. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't even know where their bodies are now.
Zhou Guo carried a basket and started picking mushrooms with everyone in the woods. The beautiful umbrella caps were pulled off one by one, and the basket was filled up little by little. The process was quite interesting.
She spent the morning in the mountains, and in the afternoon she went to the mountains in the next village and spent the same afternoon there.
I finally had some free time in the evening and was able to listen to the difficulties Zhou Gu had gone through over the past few months.
The light in the study was on for half the night.
Li felt distressed. "Can't you wait until tomorrow to talk about anything? You were so busy when you were outside, and now that you finally come back, you have to be busy for half the night without sleeping? You are still growing."
Wu Ya didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Mai and the others went to sleep.
After waiting for a long time until the lights in the study went out, Zhou Guo and his partner came out to look for something to eat. Seeing that the two were still awake, he asked in surprise, "Mom, sister-in-law, why are you still awake? What time is it now?"
