Chapter 979: Adoptive Father 2
General Xu felt uncomfortable when he heard this word from his adoptive father, "Call me dad, why call me adoptive father?"
Zhou Guo was speechless. She had never called him dad in her life. She opened her mouth and finally called out loudly, "Dad!"
"Hey! Good girl!" General Xu touched her little head.
Zhou Dacang also breathed a sigh of relief. The child had never called him dad since she was born, and he was really worried that she wouldn't be able to say it out loud.
Although they had just finished their meal, General Xu still ordered, "Prepare another table of good food so that we can have fun."
He pulled Zhou Guo aside and asked her all sorts of questions, especially about her fatness, how could it lead to a good harvest in the north?
Zhou Guo told them one by one, and finally said that on the way south, wherever they fought, she would set up a farm there. As long as the people were stable, within two years, the local people would no longer starve to death and would live a stable and well-fed life.
A group of grown men were fascinated by the talk. Although they were good at fighting, they knew nothing about farming. Only Zhou Dacang, who came from a peasant family, knew a little.
When they heard that Zhou Guo had bought a farm in the territory they had conquered to sell fertilizer, and also bought a shop to sell grain and regulate grain prices, they could not help but be amazed.
All of these things are important matters concerning people's livelihood, no less important than what they have conquered the world for. No wonder the general named her Anbei, she really deserves the name!
Only Zhou Dacang had doubts in his heart, wondering if he could run such a large business.
After all, their family background is still limited. They have only been in business for two years. If they cannot make up for the shortfall in saving money, won’t the business collapse?
General Xu kept praising her, "Women are just as capable as men. You are much younger than your eldest brother, but you are much more promising than him, not to mention your other two brothers, who are simply incomparable to you."
Zhou Guo was of course modest, "I can't do what my brothers do, I'm just doing what I'm good at."
An hour passed and the table was ready.
Just as he was about to sit down, Zhou Guo suddenly remembered and clapped his hands, saying, "Oh, Dad, my master! My master went to the toilet!"
They must have gone crazy looking for him since he hasn't come out for such a long time.
The call of "Dad" was extremely natural.
General Xu was so happy that he ordered, "Come here, go and get Mr. Zhao."
Outside, the old man and Erpang searched several streets but couldn't find the person.
I couldn't help wondering, "This is really strange. I walked around the main street of the county town and didn't see anyone. Where did he go?"
Er Pang said, "He won't leave the city, will he? The master likes to go to the mountains when he has nothing to do."
The old man shook his head. "We are going to the toilet, not to sleep. If she wants to go, she must come with us. At the very least, she should ask for my opinion. How can she just leave without saying hello?"
Although Zhou Guo is skilled and strong, he is not invincible. Besides, there are many things in this world that are much more powerful than mortal bodies.
A few people started wandering around the street, and finally they even went around the alleys. Dashu went back and brought the horses, and a few people rode their horses and galloped on the deserted street.
By the time the guards found them, they were sweating profusely and almost going crazy.
Zhou Guo looked at the expressionless old man walking behind him, feeling a little guilty, and walked up to him, saying with a smile: "Master, hey, look, you said that my uncle wouldn't come, but I found him right away. And my father is here too, I'll take you to see him."
The old man was angry at first, but when he heard her father was here, he was surprised, "Have you found your father?"
The fat guys behind were worried and asked the personal soldiers without saying a word. But when they saw Zhou Guo was safe and sound, they were overjoyed.
They had all made bad plans, and when they saw Zhou Dacang was there, they were completely relieved. It turned out that it was General Zhou who came. No wonder the master disappeared as soon as he turned around. He must have been so happy that he forgot about them.
Zhou Guo pulled the old man's sleeve, pointed at the standing General Xu who was both dignified and friendly, and introduced him: "Master, this is my father, General Xu. Hehe, I just recognized him."
He added, "Done."
He then introduced him to General Xu: "Dad, this is my master, Mr. Zhao. He taught me this skill."
General Xu happily bowed to the old man and said, "I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are so lucky to have such a good disciple in your later years."
The old man mechanically returned the greeting, then calmed himself down and said, "Congratulations, General, you have a wonderful daughter too!"
I was so shocked that I almost said the wrong thing.
General Xu said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, we are all very lucky. Come, sit inside, let's have a meal together and celebrate the New Year."
I was really happy as I walked into the house with the old man.
Zhou Guo fell behind, standing in a row with Zhou Dacang. She couldn’t help but look at him and whispered, “Uncle?”
Zhou Dacan sighed. No matter how powerful she was, she was still a little girl. She still depended on adults in her heart. He touched her head and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay. Uncle is here. The general really likes you."
It is enough for Zhou Guo to say this.
In fact, she has been feeling dizzy. Although she has dealt with many people in recent years, this person is General Xu. What he is doing now is destined to be extraordinary. If he succeeds in the future, he will be the master of the world.
A word can bring life, and a word can also bring death.
General Xu asked the old man to sit down, Zhou Guo sat next to him, then Zhou Dacang, and everyone sat down in turn.
A table full of delicious food.
General Xu said, "The ingredients here are limited, and these are all we have. When you have the chance to go to the general's mansion in the future, ask your mother to make more delicious food for you. Her food is delicious."
Zhou Guo asked, "Dad, are they in the capital now?"
General Xu said, "That can't be possible. She ran away a long time ago. When there is a chance, I will take you to meet her. She has never had a daughter in her life. She is always jealous of other people's daughters. She must be very happy to have a beautiful daughter like you."
Fair and tender, although he looks like a son.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved."
During the meal, most of the time the general asked questions and she answered.
Zhou Dacang would pick up food for her, and those who couldn't get the food would stand up to get it. They were all family, so there was no need to be polite.
He could even chat and laugh with the old man beside him. Hearing that the old man had been escorting for his whole life, the general was very envious and said, "I wanted to do this when I was a child. An escort can go to many places, but I never had the chance."
Everyone at the table was having a great time, eating from dawn till dusk.
They chatted until late at night, and then Zhou Guo and his group said goodbye and went back to sleep, and Zhou Dacang followed them.
When they got home, Erpang and a few others were waiting in the living room, so the three of them went into the house, looked at each other, not knowing where to start.
Finally, it was Zhou Guo who asked, "When are you leaving?"
Zhou Dacang said, "We were supposed to go back to the camp after dinner, but you suddenly popped your head out from the wall. Tell me, how did you get over there? No one stopped you?"
