Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1219 Another one

Li looked at her for a few times, her eyes red, and asked, "Why are you so thin? Did you eat well outside?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, I have lost a lot of weight."

Zhou Guo opened his arms and said, "I'm not getting thinner, I'm getting stronger. Mom, I'm getting taller."

Li said, "Didn't you start growing hair a few years ago? If you keep growing hair, you'll become a stick. How can that look good? Let's go home. Mother will make you something delicious."

As they were talking, Zhou Gu, Wu Ya and Xiao Hua, who were lagging behind, also arrived.

Xiaohua jumped up and called her aunt sweetly. Zhou Guo touched her head, and then his eyes were attracted by Wu Ya's big belly. He was surprised and happy, "How many months is it? Why didn't the letter say that?"

They have been married for so many years, Xiaohua has grown so big, and Wu Ya is finally pregnant again.

Wu Ya couldn't help but hold her belly with both hands and laughed softly, "It's seven months, the doctor said it's a boy."

Zhou Guo: "...You can see this through the belly?"

Zhou Gu chuckled, "Everyone says your sister-in-law has a pointed belly. Look at it, it's definitely a boy."

Mrs. Li was also very happy. "Your return is just in time. Your nephew will be born in two months. You can give him a name then."

Zhou Guo was a little embarrassed, "Mom, I can't stay at home for too long, I have to leave after a while."

The reason she came back was to discuss the matter of Feizhuang with them. The situation in the capital was tense now, and no one knew when a breach would occur. Even Hu Zi and Dapang had been transferred to the south by her. There were not many people in the north, and as the boss, she couldn't just sit there doing nothing.

Everyone is disappointed. They finally come back, but can’t stay for too long?

Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi looked at each other and asked, "Is there anything we can help with?"

Zhou Guo nodded.

They were both delighted.

Zhou Guo said: "Of course not now, you will be busy later."

Li said distressedly, "Why don't you take your brothers with you? Didn't I hear from your eldest brother that you transferred Huzi, Dapang and many others to the south? Since the south is so busy and short of people, why don't you let your brothers help you?"

Zhou Guo said, "Mom, don't worry about this. My brothers will be busy someday, but not now. They can't help now."

There was a moment of silence.

Seeing this, the old man immediately said, "Let's go back first. It's not good to be stuck in traffic. The child must be hungry after traveling for such a long time. Let's go back and cook."

"Oh, yes, yes, go back home."

Everything is ready at home, and there is always something hot on the stove. Wu Ya is getting pregnant and will be hungry soon. In order to give her something hot to eat, the stove is kept on all day.

A table full of delicious food was placed on the table, and Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, "Homemade food is better than outside, and smells better!"

Everyone felt sorry for her when they saw how fast she ate.

Zhou Suli and Li Lai kept picking up food for her. Xiaohua couldn't even squeeze in, and there was no space for her to pick up food.

The old man said, "Eat slowly. I see that none of the people who came back with you can cook well. You might as well find yourself a cook."

Li said quickly: "How about..."

Zhou Guo waved his hand, "No need, I have a cook with me, but I was in a hurry to come back this time, so I didn't bring him with me. His cooking is also delicious, I will bring him back later so you can taste his cooking skills."

Zhou Gu said: "There is a cook at home. Since he is here to serve you, then he will serve you."

Zhou Mai also said: "You spend most of the year outside, and there are people around you who need to be served. You can't be busy all day and still have to cook for yourself. I think you should find a few girls. The girls are attentive and can serve you personally."

Wu Ya is now surrounded by not only a maid but also a servant girl, including Xiaohua.

He saw with his own eyes that their lives became much more comfortable after the little girl came into being. The house was always clean and Xiaohua was tidied up.

Li said, "That's right. I have left two for you. If you go south this time, you can take them with you. With them, you will suffer less on the road. After all, you are a girl, and it is not convenient for those guys around you to serve you in some ways."

Zhou Guo shook his head without even thinking about it.

Li felt helpless when seeing this.

Zhou Mi said, "Don't worry, these two are not ordinary girls. They know some martial arts skills and have suffered a lot since childhood. They are not delicate girls and are very tough. You can use them as you like."

Zhou Guo paused, "Where did you find these two people?"

Does her mother have this option?

Or maybe the old man asked him to come. Look at the old man.

The old man didn't look at her.

Li explained, "Hu Zi found me. He said that you haven't had a maid to serve you these years, and you have to do everything by yourself, which is not convenient."

The old man said, "I have tested their skills for you. They can easily knock down four or five big men."

Wu Ya also said: "In the past six months, Auntie has personally taken care of the two of them and taught them how to serve you. Apart from other things, they have learned the job of serving you personally. They learn quickly and know everything."

Li said, "Ask them to come up so you can identify them?"

Zhou Guo said, "Wait until I finish eating. If it's really that good, I'll take it away."

She really lacks one or two such people around her. Although these little things may seem insignificant, they are also extremely energy-consuming. At the end of the day, her energy is spent on other things, so she has no extra energy to devote to these things. Sometimes she can only be careless.

This won't do. She needs to have good food and clothes, and nothing else to lack for. Otherwise, if everyone else is living a good life, she's still struggling to do things on her own. Her quality of life is too low.

Seeing that she agreed, the whole family was overjoyed.

The reason why Li always felt so distressed was that she felt sorry for Zhou Guo because he had no one to serve him outside. These were men, not only were they not as careful as girls, but there were also some places where they could not get close to him.

I'm so busy and my life is not going well, how can I not worry?

If she had the two girls by her side, her worries would be at least half gone.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhou Guo also smiled, "Come, you guys eat together. It's been a long time since we had a meal together. Let's eat a little, and treat it as a New Year's Eve dinner."

Li said, "You still remember the New Year's Eve dinner? You haven't been home for the New Year for two years. Your eldest sister who married out comes back more often than you do. You are almost like the one who married far away. You don't see her for several years."

Zhou Guo could only smile foolishly, "I've been busy these past two years. When I'm not busy, I'll see you more often. I'll be by your side every day."

Li waved her hand, "Forget it, go ahead and do your work. Now that you are willing to take care of the little girl, I have nothing to worry about. As long as you can take good care of yourself outside and write home from time to time, I will be satisfied. After all, who would want to be tied to me all year round if they do big things?"
