Chapter 751 I'm an Adult
No one in the family spoke at this moment. Everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo moved his neck calmly, "He didn't say anything, did he?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether the general knew that she was acting in his name?
I felt a little frustrated, as if I had just taken a step forward and was caught.
Li asked anxiously, "What does the general mean?"
The old man also said: "The girl acted in his name, did he know about this?"
Zhou Dacang nodded, "Don't you think about who controls the North? You have even found our county magistrate. How can you hide this from anyone?"
Zhou Guo touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
The old man and the Li family are very worried. What’s going on?
Zhou Gu and the others were all anxious and confused.
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The general didn't say anything. Instead, he praised Guoguo, saying that she is very capable. At such a young age, she can raise the tax revenue of the entire northern land by her own efforts, so that tens of millions of people can have enough food to eat. She is more capable than him, a great general! Incredible! He also said that if he has the chance in the future, he will come to our house to take a look!"
"Really? Uncle, are you serious?" Zhou Guo was so happy that he almost jumped up from the stool. He felt that this was a huge honor. He was a great general!
The whole family cheered loudly, feeling surprised, happy and flattered!
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "Are you that happy?"
Zhou Guo said: "Of course, don't you see who that is? It's General Xu, the guardian of the north!"
She was happier to receive God's praise than to sell the fat of several counties.
The old man said happily: "This little girl is right. The general is really a good general."
Li said, "So, we are safe now? The general won't punish us?"
Zhou Dacang said: "Not only will there be no punishment, but there will be rewards. This is a reward for me to come back to recruit soldiers, and it is also a way to allow me to go home to visit my family."
The whole family was delighted.
Li looked at him and brought up the old matter again, "Have you found a marriage? If not, your sister-in-law will look for one for you."
Zhou Dacang: “…”
The room fell silent.
Zhou Guo looked at her mother helplessly. Why did she bring up this depressing thing when she was so happy? "Mom, let's talk about this later. My uncle is so handsome. Are you worried that no one will marry him?"
Li said, "No matter how handsome you are, no one will want you when you get older. You are already old. If you delay any longer, you will become an old bachelor. Look at Zhou Gu. Your children are already so grown up, but you are still an uncle. Isn't this a joke for people?"
Everyone looked at the baby who was sleeping soundly in Wu Ya's arms in silence. The baby couldn't even speak. How old was he?
Zhou Dacang said, "Second sister-in-law, let's talk about this later. The world is in chaos, and the court has sent a letter asking the general to go to the king's defense."
Everyone in the room was shocked. "When are we going? What does it mean to serve the king?"
Zhou Guo asked, "Will the general go?"
Zhou Dacang looked at her and smiled, "I don't know. I'm not a general."
Zhou Guoleng noticed something unusual in his smile. What did it mean?
Considering the purpose of his return, which was to recruit soldiers and take as many as possible, I felt a chill in my spine, as if something big was going to happen.
Li also felt that as a guerrilla general, he would not be able to handle such a big thing, so he simply stopped asking.
Changing the subject, he asked, "Where's Li Wang? Why didn't he come back with you this time?"
Zhou Dacang said: "He is now very serious. The old doctor said that he has a good talent and refused to let him go. Now he is like an eyeball to me. He is carried everywhere. I don't see him often."
Li said anxiously, "How could that be? Aren't they all in the camp?"
Zhou Dacang explained: "The northern border is long, and the old doctor is good at medicine. He has been on the front line. He wants to train his disciples, so he takes them to various front lines. He goes wherever there is a battle. It's not often that you see him."
Zhou Guo said, "Mom, don't worry. He is the old doctor's disciple, and my uncle is also in the camp. He is still so young, no one in the camp will bully him."
Zhou Su nodded, "That's right, who would bully doctors? We are counting on them to save our lives!"
That makes sense. Li felt relieved when he heard it.
The family talked until midnight before going to bed.
During the years when Zhou Dacang was away, the house was kept very clean. Zhou Guo and others would go there from time to time to sleep and stay for a while, adding some liveliness. Everything was ready, and it was still very warm living in the house.
After washing up, Zhou Su sneaked into Zhou Dacang's house.
Zhou Dacang was stunned. "It's the middle of the night. Why are you here instead of going to sleep?"
Zhou Su hugged his pillow and said with a chuckle, "Uncle, I want to sleep with you today."
Zhou Dacang laughed, "Come up."
Zhou Guo was very envious. If she were older, she would also want to sleep with her uncle.
As soon as Zhou Dacang came back, Wang Fugui and others came to his house. The villagers were not to be outdone. In addition to wanting to curry favor with him, they also wanted to know what official position Zhou Dacang held now.
He has been away for a few years, so he should have been promoted again, right?
He should be a general now.
Their village has never produced such a high-ranking official. For hundreds of years, there has not even been a scholar, let alone an official. Zhou Dacang, a military general, is quite rare.
The Zhou family's yard was crowded again.
Li brought Wu Ya, Qian and Chen to serve tea and water to everyone. They were all villagers and were used to doing things themselves and did not like to use servants.
Zhou Guo and the old man huddled in a corner, eating melon seeds, snacks and drinking tea, watching Zhou Dacang sitting in the crowd, chatting and laughing with the villagers, dealing with them with ease, and occasionally bursting into laughter. The villagers were also very happy.
The atmosphere was so relaxed, no one said anything offensive.
Zhou Guo said to the old man, "Master, you see, my uncle has really grown up in the past two years. He is a real adult. We have a decent man in our family. We are no longer orphans and widows. Who dares to bully us?"
The old man almost spit out his tea, "What do you mean by a proper man? I, your master, am not one? Isn't your eldest brother one? He has children, but your uncle doesn't even have one yet."
Zhou Guo glanced at him and said, "You are an old man, and you are not among the strong laborers. As for my elder brother..."
Looking at Zhou Gu who was sitting with him, he smiled foolishly and shook his head, "I always feel like I haven't grown up yet, not like an adult."
The old man said, "Huh, I don't know who said that he has gained experience and can now stand on his own."
Zhou Guo looked at Zhou Gu again, "Look for yourself, do you think he can compare with your uncle? One is like a father, the other is like a big brother. Obviously, they were not much different before, but now it seems like they are two generations apart."
The old man looked at him for a while and said, "Don't you see where your uncle went? The military camp is the best place to train people. Besides, your eldest brother can't compare with him, so this is normal."
