Chapter 843: Bathing in the Pond
The old man waved his hand and said he didn't want to catch pheasants or rabbits anymore. "Let's go back and roast venison."
Zhou Guo had been walking in the forest for so long that he was sweating all over. He nodded and said, "Let's go, it's very hot. I have to go back to take a shower and change clothes."
It was a hot day and although the forest was shady, it was not cool to move around in and everyone was sweating.
Zhou Su picked a basket of wild fruits, squeezed next to Zhou Guo and said, "Sister, look, these are the wild fruits we picked, have some."
Zhou Guo looked at the basket of wild fruits and asked in surprise: "Where did you pick them?"
Li Lai said: "In this forest, my brothers picked a basket of mushrooms, and we picked a basket of wild fruits."
Although it cannot be compared with two deer, it is not without gain.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Then we are in for a treat today."
When they returned home, Li had already prepared lunch.
Seeing two deer, he was also delighted, "Why did you hunt two today?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "With my uncle here, let alone two, even four will be no problem."
What she saw were deer.
If the old man and Zhou Dacang were both there, maybe they could have caught two alive.
Zhou Mai and others went into the house to wash up, but Zhou Dacang took off his clothes and walked out.
Zhou Guo was stunned. "Where are you going?"
Zhou Dacang said, "I'm going to take a bath in the pond."
Zhou Guo said anxiously: "No, the crabs and grouper fish raised in the pond are not clean!"
All I could hear was Zhou Dacang's nonchalant voice, "Why is the water unclean? I am even cleaner than the water."
Zhou Guo: “…”
You won’t get bitten, right?
She didn't care anymore. She was sweating all over. The water was ready in the room so she could take a shower.
After she washed her hair and took a bath, changed her clothes and went out, she saw Zhou Dacang was still soaking in the pond.
Swim comfortably in the water.
To be honest, she was a little envious.
Zhou Mai and others stood on the shore, looking at him enviously and wanting to go into the water too.
The old man jumped in with a splash, and the cool water made him shout out, "Comfortable, really comfortable!"
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi looked at each other, and like them, they took off all their clothes except for their underwear and went downstairs.
It’s a pity that Zhou Suli and Li Lai don’t know how to play water!
Zhou Su was unwilling to go into the water, so he could only sit by the pond and wash his feet.
Li Lai looked at them with envy and asked Zhou Su: "Brother, shall we go down too?"
Zhou Su looked at the pond in embarrassment, "It's a pity that I don't know how to do it. Otherwise, I'll ask my uncle to come and take you. He's very strong and can drag you."
Zhou Guo fanned himself with a fan, he really wanted to go into the water!
He turned around, picked a fresh lotus flower and returned to the yard.
Li brought her a bowl of iced green bean soup and said, "I was saying, my uncles and brothers are bathing in that pond, why are you, a grown-up girl, going over there? Even though they are family members, you still have to avoid suspicion, understand?"
Zhou Guo sat down and took a sip. It was icy and sweet, and the heat in his heart seemed to have been half gone.
Said: "Mom, I also want to go down to the pond to take a bath."
Li said, "How can that be possible? Do you still want to keep this reputation as a girl? If this gets out, how can you live your life?"
Zhou Guo sighed, "It was a hot day, they could go into the water, but I couldn't? I'll go, I'll wait until they are asleep, and go at night, mother, you can go with me then."
Li waved her hand, "Forget it. I can't swim, and I don't have the courage you have."
Zhou Dacang and his companions soaked in the water for half an hour before coming out.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard, talking and busying themselves with preparing the dishes for dinner.
Both deer had to be dealt with. At this time of year, food wouldn't last long, and both deer were eaten in the past two days.
Roasted, fried, stewed, or braised, I think the two deer would be quite tasty.
Zhou Guo also gave a big deer leg to Hu Zi and others.
The yard was filled with fragrance and smoke in the evening. The old man was grilling meat, Zhou Dacang was frying meat, and people were cooking in the kitchen. The whole yard was bustling with activity.
The bald man in another courtyard said with emotion: "It's better to have more people. Let me tell you, usually you are not here, I am alone wandering around this farm, and people down below don't dare to talk to me. Sometimes I want to take a nap in the afternoon, and when I wake up in the evening, I hear the cicadas chirping lazily, as if someone has died in the house, it's scary."
Hu Zi said, "You are the third in command. Aren't there many brothers who came down from the mountains in the village? You have nothing to say to them, right?"
The bald-head rubbed his head and said, "There are only a few who can speak, and they are not here. The rest are afraid of me anyway, so why would they talk to me like you do?"
At this point, he looked at Erpang and said, "Erpang, why don't you stay here? Look at our village. It's the closest to Huaishan now. General Zhou comes back once a month, and the boss and his men will come over then. Maybe this place will feel more like home than Cangshan Village in the future."
Er Pang shook his head without even thinking, "No, I'll be wherever the master is."
Baldhead: "...You are useless. You are not still a child. It's not like you are still a child. It's not nice to follow the boss around all day long."
Erpang retorted, "You've been weaned? You're old enough to be my dad, and you still need someone to accompany you?"
Baldhead: “…”
Hu Zi and Da Shu were concentrating on grilling and frying meat slices, because venison is not something you can eat casually.
In the main courtyard, the family started eating before the meal was ready.
Everyone brought a stool and sat down, picking up the meat to eat.
Zhou Su laid out the wild fruits he brought back, one plate at a time, as a dessert after the meal.
The family ate very slowly, and by the time the meal was ready, Zhou Guo was half full.
Zhou Dacang enjoyed the meals happily, as he could no longer eat the meals at home after he went to the military camp.
Finally, Li came out with some common farm dishes and two large bowls of egg custard, which she placed in the middle.
The big fish and meat are all on the side, while the home-cooked dishes are in the middle.
Zhou Dacang particularly loves these home-cooked dishes, especially the egg custard, of which he can eat a big bowl by himself.
Seeing this, Zhou Mai and the others rushed to eat with him.
The young men finished up the middle dishes in no time, not even a drop of soup was left, while the other fish and meat were still plenty.
Li said hurriedly, "Don't fight with your uncle. Can't you understand a little bit? He finally came back. Can't you give him some slack? What can't you eat normally?"
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "Mom, forget it. This is something that only tastes good if you fight over it. If you let your uncle eat it alone, he will think it's tasteless."
The old man also grabbed a chopstick and ate it, nodding seriously and saying, "You know what, this thing is really more fragrant when you rush to eat it, the taste is different."
Everyone laughed and said it smelled really good.
Zhou Dacang looked helpless, pointing at them and said, "I only come back once a month, and you guys don't know how to give way to me. Do you still remember that I am your uncle?"
