Chapter 590: Ordering a Servant
After listening carefully to their concerns, he did not say anything to comfort them. He just said, "Aunts, I know everyone wants to do a unique business, because a unique business is the easiest to do. But to be honest, the world is so big, even if it is not available here, there will always be other places that have it, right?"
"Even if people from other villages don't come, can we sit back and relax and rely on this business for a lifetime? It's impossible. Sooner or later, the same fungus will appear in other places. By then, the price of the fungus will definitely not be as high as it is now. It will still drop."
When they heard this, everyone sighed.
Zhou Cheng's wife said: "I didn't expect to be rich all my life by relying on this, but I always think that every penny I can earn is a penny. While the children are still young, I will earn more money to earn back the money I put into their wives. It would be best if I could also earn back the money I put into my grandson's wives. In this way, my life will be worth it! The rest of my life will be better!"
The others laughed.
Zhou Guo was also convinced and laughed.
Wang Fugui's family couldn't help laughing, "You really think long-term. Your eldest son is only ten years old, and you're already thinking about your grandson's life? If you've thought about your grandson, you must also make money for your great-grandson, right?"
Zhou Chengjia also laughed, "So what? As a mother, I always think long-term for my children. I have to make more money now while it's still easy to make money. No one knows what the situation will be like in the future. What if we have to flee again? I have to plan more for the children. If I make more money now, they will suffer less. The children will also suffer less, and they won't be like us, with no food to eat and no thick coats for the whole family in the winter."
Everyone sighed at these words, "Who said it wasn't true? We all want to save more for our children so that they will suffer less in the future."
Zhou Guo sighed, saying that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run, and this is true no matter where the children are.
The women talked for a while and then stopped talking. Talking wouldn't accomplish anything anyway and would only make them unhappy.
Concentrate on cooking.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Xing helped on the side.
By the time the meal was ready, it was already afternoon.
Many people from the village came. It was New Year's Day, and since they came, we had to prepare meals.
There was definitely not enough room in several houses, so we had to eat in the yard.
Although it was cold, as long as the stove was on, the food would not get cold. However, I couldn't cook the food because it got cold after a while.
Everyone had no choice but to put the dishes on the plates into the hot pot and eat them. After all, it was all meat and tasted delicious. Everyone was eating with oil dripping from their mouths.
None of the Zhou family members had eaten. One person was guarding a room, and there were two standing in the yard, giving whatever the people at the table wanted.
Please make sure to add more rice if there is no rice left, add more vegetables if there are no vegetables left, and add more charcoal if the fire goes out. The main goal is to make sure everyone eats and drinks well. Of course, the only thing that can be drunk well is the soup.
There is no alcohol. It's freezing cold. Don't drink too much. If something happens, they can't take the responsibility.
Everyone was having a great time eating, and the Zhou family was busy as well.
"There's no more rice. Zhou Gu, give some more rice to Master Ye Si."
"The soup is gone too. Do you have any more of this soup?"
……
The Zhou family members were running back and forth in the yard.
Zhou Guo ran twice and stopped. He went into Zhou Dacang's house and sat down with the old man. The three of them sat together drinking tea and watching the fun.
The old man said, "These people didn't get any advantage today."
Zhou Dacang added, "So he ordered us around like crazy."
Zhou Guo sighed, drank two cups of tea, and cried out, "What does this have to do with us? We don't have the final say over the mountain in the village. Even if I agree to them, what's the point? Won't the villagers still not agree? It's the same here. Why do we become more soft-hearted and confused as we get older?"
"He wants everyone to be well, and to be like when they were fleeing, sharing all hardships and happiness together, and still be a family! How is that possible? We have settled down for several years, and each family's life has stabilized. Everyone has changed a lot, but he still wants to be the same as before. I don't know what he is thinking all day long."
Shaking her head, if it wasn't for his sake, she would have kicked those bossy people out long ago. How could she tolerate them shouting and yelling in her house and order them around like servants?
Besides, their servants don’t get this treatment either, right?
The old man shook his head and said, "He's getting old. His spirit has been getting worse over the past two years. I think his confused days are still to come."
Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang turned around and looked at the head of the village head carefully. "No way, will he be confused again later?"
It's not clear enough now, how can you still be confused?
Zhou Guo was worried, "Will he come to our house again?"
He is an old man, can she really kick him out?
Zhou Da Cang made a click of his tongue and reached out to touch her head, but seeing that her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she had no small hands, he could only pat her shoulders and said seriously: "With your uncle not at home, this family depends on you. If they come again and do something even more excessive, you don't have to be polite, just throw them away. Your uncle will support you. Your uncle is going to the camp now, and he may get promoted again."
Zhou Guo nodded seriously, "I understand. You can go without worry. I'm at home. I won't let anyone bully you, even the head of the village."
Even though we are fleeing for our lives, if we continue to waste our friendship like this, it will probably be gone in a few times.
The Li family was so busy that they didn't even get a sip of water during the meal.
After finally finishing the meal, it was already the end of the Shen hour and the beginning of the You hour.
Zhou Dacang went out wearing a cloak trimmed with gray rabbit fur and stood at the door. When he came, he went to meet her outside the courtyard gate, but now he was seeing her off inside the courtyard.
He just stood there, looking relaxed and calm, with even a smile on his face.
But this time, no one dared to act in a domineering manner as before. Somehow, they became timid as soon as they opened their mouths. The man said goodbye to him in a hurry and left, while the woman said goodbye to Li honestly.
Only then did everyone feel vaguely and truly in their hearts that the Zhou family was not an orphan family. Although the two brothers Zhou Dacai and Zhou Dafu were gone, their younger brother had grown up and had a much more intimidating aura than his two older brothers. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, that smile was somewhat creepy.
The slight contempt in my heart was now gone.
Although Zhou Guo was also powerful, they were not present when she killed people without blinking an eye on the way to escape, and when she killed the Hu people later, there were only a few of them, so if they had not seen her, they could be pretended not to exist.
Besides, she was just a little girl in her teens after all. Even if she knew some kung fu, many people still didn't take her seriously.
But Zhou Dacang was different. He was a real man who had grown up. He also had an aura that could not be underestimated. Everyone then realized that he had joined the army and became an official, managing more than a hundred people!
He is the general, and the soldiers can't afford to offend him.
