Chapter 1039 I just want to eat at home
This bright red one is acceptable, so he just wears it reluctantly.
She also distributed the jewelry she bought for the female members of the Li family to them. Xiaohua gave them a set of beautiful pearl head flowers, which she treasured very much in her hands.
Wu Ya liked it even more. Even though Zhou Guo usually wore men's clothes and always wore a bun on her head with a hairpin.
But her taste was first-rate. The jewelry was much better looking than those she bought herself. It didn't look that good in the jewelry store, but it was different when she wore it on her head. The more she looked at it, the better it looked.
Mrs. Xu didn't understand, and a piece of dessert was stuffed into her hand. She ate while looking at Xiaohua.
Li was holding these jewels, feeling happy but also worried. She asked, "You've been in the south for so long, I guess you must have spent a lot of money. Do you have any more?"
After she said that, the whole family looked over and felt that the gifts in their hands were a little hot. Yes, she complained last year that she was very poor, so now she probably had no money in her hands.
Zhou Guo said, "Don't worry. Although I've been using them, the mountain products in my shop have also been making money. There are also crabs, balls and fish. Although there's not much left over after a year, I still have money to buy these things for you. Otherwise, why would I be busy all year round?"
"That's good, that's good." The family felt relieved.
Zhou Gu said, "I still have a small portion of the account settled before the New Year. If you are out of money, you can borrow from me. The expenses at home are not that big."
Zhou Guo nodded, "We'll talk about it later. I'll be at home for the next few days."
She had to rethink it again. After the spring plowing, when the remaining soldiers from the border came in, she would arrange for people to take the goods south.
In addition to food, those who go south also need money, so let Wu Jiang go with them. The south is so vast, and more money will not be enough.
Transfer Quanzi away from Zhuangzi and let Nanhe take over.
Li said, "I sent a letter to your eldest sister. They will probably come to your house early tomorrow morning. Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "It's okay. I haven't seen them for a long time. I also bought them some things. Are the two brothers okay?"
"Okay!" Zhou Mi said, "Yuan Ge'er has already started to learn, and his family has hired a teacher for him, but he still wants to go to school, saying that he needs a companion."
Children all want companionship.
Zhou Mai said, "He has been studying at home for a year anyway, so we thought it would be good for him to go to school with us. We went to Yunzhou this fall, and Xiao Su and Li Lai are still at the school, so they can look after him."
Zhou Su said helplessly: "Actually, I also want to go to Yunzhou, but my brothers said that we are still young and have not learned a lot. We can stay in the school to look after Yuan Ge'er."
In fact, Li Lai could not really keep up, and since they all left, there was no one left at home. The two of them discussed that it would be best to let Zhou and Su stay in the school for another year or two, and then let them go after they had established a firm foothold in Yunzhou.
Zhou Guo nodded, "As long as you think it's good." After thinking for a while, he asked Zhou Su and Li Lai, "Do you think it's good?"
Zhou Su said, "That's good. My brothers are all gone, so I'll stay at home. Otherwise, mom and the others will be left without anyone to accompany them."
Li Lai nodded and said, "I don't want to go to Yunzhou."
He is not good at studying and won't be able to keep up if he goes there.
Zhou Guo didn't ask any more questions. Her brothers were all grown up. Some of the children of their age in the village already had two children, and her younger brother was not young either. She couldn't even take care of her brothers' affairs, let alone the Zhao family's affairs.
Thinking of her pepper seeds, she asked the old man, "Master, have you planted the packet of seeds I gave you?"
The old man said, "I have planted them. I have rolled mud balls one by one according to your instructions. I think if these seeds can grow, these balls can plant one or two acres of land. I am afraid the vegetable garden is not that big."
This piece of land next to my house has been filled little by little with mud from other places over the years. It's only more than one acre, which is not enough for planting. Besides, I have to plant some other vegetables. Can I only plant this?
What does the family eat?
Zhou Guo said, "Then we can plant them on the farm. There is still land over there. We can clear two plots of land and spread more fertilizer."
We have raised some pigs on the farm over the years, and planted melons in every corner, all kinds of melons. With such a big farm, how can we not plant one or two acres of peppers?
She emphasized: "But Master, you have to take good care of these seedlings. Don't let the chickens, ducks, and dogs destroy them."
There are now flocks of chickens, ducks and dogs on the farm, especially the dogs. The black and bold ones have several generations of puppies. They are raised to be brave and dare to go anywhere.
"Do I need you to tell me this?" The old man was a little impatient. Did they really think he was a freeloader? How could they not know such a small thing?
The family chatted for a while and then dinner was ready.
What a big table.
Zhou Guo looked at the table full of food and said greedily, "I haven't eaten home-cooked meals for a long time. I really miss it."
Zhou Mai laughed and said, "I clearly just ate it a few days ago, how come I haven't eaten it for a long time?"
Zhou Guo said: "That's different. Eating outside doesn't taste like home after all. I just want to have a taste of home."
In fact, she still felt that her mother was right. In this life, one must have a root. No matter whether this root is permanent or not, there must always be a root there so that people have a home.
Wu Ya said: "These are specially prepared for you. The last time I came back, mother asked people to prepare a lot of your favorite food, and they are all saved."
Zhou Guo smiled, "Why are you saving money? Just eat the delicious food. It's not like you can't afford this little bit of food."
Li said, "Eat, eat, we are all eating, please sit down and eat while it is hot."
The pig's trotters are braised until tender, the tendons are stewed until soft and delicious, the braised fish is attractive in color, and the fried bells are fresh, fragrant and crispy...
She ate without even raising her head. Although these things can be eaten outside, they always feel like something is missing. They are still more delicious when they are at home!
Mrs. Li and Zhou Mai kept picking up food for her, "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you, have you never eaten enough outside?"
The old man remained calm and said to everyone, "It's always like this. When you eat too much food outside, you will miss the taste of home. Stop looking and eat. Otherwise, she will eat up all the food on the table by herself."
Everyone thought about how the old man had eaten every meal like this in the first two days after he came back, and they understood.
I looked at Zhou Guo with sympathy. He thought his life was really hard outside. I had no idea what he ate every day. I guess he just ate dry biscuits and hard buns while traveling.
Otherwise, how could I eat like this when I get home?
Thinking of this, the whole family lost their appetite. They ate several bowls of rice without picking up any dishes and finished their meals with chicken soup.
The whole table of delicious food was left for the master and his disciple.
The old man is old, and he has lost a lot of weight after going out. He needs to eat some more food.
Seeing that they didn't eat anymore, Zhou Guo just thought that they were not hungry and had just eaten too much snacks.
