Chapter 346 Want to be a Godfather
When everyone heard that Zhou Guo wanted to keep a horse, they hesitated at first. Finally, they heard from Zhou Dacang that although she was young, she was the first one in the family to learn to ride a horse. She didn't learn much when she was learning to ride, she could gallop after just riding a circle. So she gave her horse to him, and now the horse is gone.
After saying this, everyone remembered that Zhou Dacang rode his horse into the camp by himself. Everyone was envious of him at that time, because he could join the cavalry camp just by having a horse. It turned out that the horse was given to him by his little niece.
After thinking about it, he agreed and said readily, "Okay, Guoguo girl, go pick whichever one you like. When we go back, even if the higher-ups find out, they will definitely not blame us for giving the horse to a girl like you who is both capable and courageous."
Zhou Guo smiled, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He said with a smile: "How can I blame you? I think your general must be very happy and will praise you for your ability. You got so many good horses for free without spending a penny, and you can even breed them. What a good deal."
The word "bai de" was pronounced a little too heavily, but unfortunately the rough guys didn't hear it.
Instead, he laughed out loud, "Right? A horse is very expensive, especially a stallion. You can't even buy one with money. These horses are better than the ones we seized last time. The boss must be happy. If he is happy, he might even reward us."
The group of people were extremely happy, as these were all merits. If more military merits were accumulated, their ranks would rise even higher.
Zhou Guo thought that no matter how you count this matter, her uncle should have made a greater contribution. He was the one who led the way, he was the one who led the people, and it was her niece and the villagers who seized all these good things. This was a great contribution anyway, so she didn't care about it anymore. She couldn't get them back anyway, so she might as well give them to them. If her uncle could get promoted again, it would be worth it.
When they heard that they had to go to their house to kill a pig for dinner, everyone felt a little embarrassed, "How can we feel embarrassed? We have our own dry food, so we can just eat the dry food."
"Yeah, if the boss finds out about this, we won't have to tell the general, we'll just have to eat the spoils."
Zhou Dacang said, "We are not going to someone else's house. We are all brothers who have been through thick and thin together. How can I let you eat dry food while I eat meat in the house? I will do my best to be a good host. Not to mention the leader, even the general will not say anything if he knows."
Zhou Guo said: "Yes, even a general cannot stop you brothers from inviting each other to dinner, right? And it's not just you two, many families in the village will come."
The oldest of the group was in his thirties, and the youngest was one year younger than Zhou Dacang. They were all rough guys. There were usually no female dogs in the military camp except for mares. When they saw a fair and clean little girl like Zhou Guo with some baby fat on her face, they naturally liked her.
Hearing her talking about you brothers who had been through thick and thin together all the time, he thought that she had killed 18 barbarians by herself, which made him even more amazed. He laughed and said to Zhou Dacang, "Your little niece is really lovable. I have a suggestion. How about I be her godfather?"
Zhou Guo: “…”
Zhou Dacang: “…”
When the remaining two heard this, they also vied with each other and said, "Me, me, me, I want to be the godfather too."
"Godfather has nothing to give you. This is what I found on a Hu man yesterday. Take it!"
He stuffed it into Zhou Guo's hand without any explanation.
Zhou Guo looked down and saw a jade pendant. It was milky white with a delicate texture and a hollow carving of a deer in the forest. It felt warm to the touch. Although she didn't know much about jade, she knew that the piece in her hand was no ordinary piece. It was much better in texture than the other pieces she had obtained through illegal means and were not of the same grade.
I dare not accept it, and hurriedly return it, "Uncle, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
The man stuffed the things into her hands without explanation, "Hey, what's so valuable? These are all found on the barbarian. You can keep them and play with them as little toys. Even if I'm not your godfather, it doesn't matter. You are Xiao Zhou's niece, so you are also my niece. It's only right for an uncle to give a niece a gift when they meet. You can't refuse a gift from an elder."
Zhou Guo glanced at Zhou Dacang and saw him nod slightly, then he accepted it and thanked him with a smile.
When the remaining two saw it, they also took out something from their pockets. One took out a ring, and the other felt all over his body, but couldn't find anything suitable for the little girl. So he simply took out a large silver ingot and said with a smile: "Little niece, I'm not as quick as them, and I didn't find anything good. This silver ingot is for you. You can use it to buy some flowers to wear, buy some new clothes to wear, and buy whatever you want."
Zhou Guo took it happily and thanked him with a smile. He said that such a big silver ingot could buy so many good things.
Zhou Dacang also smiled and said, "We can't make the decision on the matter of recognizing a godfather. I'll go back and ask my second sister-in-law. Even if it can't be a godfather, we will accept the gift. It's the same to recognize an uncle, the same thing, ha."
The rough guys nodded. They really liked the child. Even if they couldn't be his godfather, they could still be his uncle.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang received valuable gifts and left with smiles on their faces. They still had to go to the village to borrow tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and they also had to invite people to dinner and ask for help.
This is also simple. Just ask whoever you invite to dinner to help. You can also borrow tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils from this family. This is the principle of not bothering two people for one thing.
The two walked around the village and invited a bunch of people. After leaving a house, they would soon see the men and women of the house carrying things towards the end of the village.
By the time they had walked through the entire village, the team heading towards the end of the village was as lively as a market.
We solved such a big problem last night, but the Hu people came and their heads are still there. We were scared the whole night. Now that we are gathered together, we can't help but talk about it. The whole road is like New Year's Day.
After Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang finished their tour in the village, they returned to the village entrance and headed home with dozens of people.
When we returned to Zhou's house, the whole house and yard were filled with people. It was freezing cold and snowy, but the small yard was so lively that it seemed to be boiling and bustling.
Half the village came.
With more than forty people joining in, the yard seemed even smaller and was instantly packed with people.
The old man had no choice but to lie on the kang in the house. The men in the village helped to kill the pig and cut the meat, the women helped to steam buns and cook, and the children all went to the river. With so many people, they wanted to see if they could catch a few dishes.
Zhou Xing looked at the crowd of people and said to Li worriedly, "Second Aunt, with so many people, will our pig have enough food? There aren't many vegetables left in the cellar."
How much food will be consumed in this meal? What will they eat after that?
