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

Chapter 307 The first breakfast after reunion

There was still some fear in his voice that had not dissipated.

Zhou Guo hugged him and patted his back, imitating the way Li did in her memory. "Sister is here to find you. Those bad guys have been killed by sister. They will never hurt anyone again. Be good, it's okay."

talking

Then she hummed a ballad, "Rock, rock, rock, rock to Grandma's Bridge, Grandma calls me a good baby..."

In her memory, on hot summer afternoons, her grandmother would fan her like this and hum softly, with a kind and gentle tone, which always calmed her restless heart.

Zhou Su really calmed down slowly, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Zhou Dacang, who had just woken up, yawned and looked at the scene in amazement. He couldn't help but say, "You imitated your mother very well, except for the different tune. Where did you learn this? It's quite nice. It made me want to sleep."

Zhou Guo yawned, "Stop talking to you, I want to sleep myself."

Zhou Su woke up frequently in the second half of the night. Zhou Guo had no choice but to stuff the hem of his clothes into his hands and let the little guy hold on to them while he slept.

Perhaps because he felt safe, there were no more disturbances in the second half of the night.

Early in the morning, when the rays of light emerged from the top of the mountain, Zhou Guo got up. He didn't plan to practice boxing today.

I walked around in the woods for half an hour and caught three pheasants, but the pheasants were a little small, much smaller than usual.

But three were enough for several of them.

She also picked up a few fresh pine mushrooms on the way, but there were only a few. She looked around nearby but couldn't find any more.

When they carried these back to the camp, Zhou Da Cang was making a fire and washing rice. Zhou Su had also gotten up and was sitting obediently next to Zhou Da Cang. His eyes followed Zhou Da Cang wherever he went.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head, his eyes lit up, and his mouth opened, but in the end no sound came out.

Zhou Guo didn't care. He didn't know how much hurt and grievance he had suffered outside. It was normal to have this reaction. He would recover slowly in the future.

She lifted the pheasant in her hand and said with a smile, "Look, this is what I caught for you early in the morning."

She patted the bag in front of her and said, "There are a few pine mushrooms in it. You haven't eaten pine mushrooms before, right? I'll ask my uncle to stew them for me later. Pine mushroom stewed with pheasant is also very delicious."

Zhou Dacang turned around and said, "Oh, three? That requires two of us. It will take me a long time to get them all by myself. Xiao Su, just wait. Your sister has been trained by the master and is very good at hunting. We will have meat for you when we go back. You can eat whatever you want in the future."

Zhou Su pursed his lips and nodded.

Zhou Dacang laughed happily.

Zhou Guo walked forward with the pheasant in his hand and touched his head. As soon as he got close, Zhou Su grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled him tightly.

She looked down and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't leave. I'll take you with me wherever I go."

I saw him nod again, but he was stubborn and refused to let go.

Zhou Guo sat down on the spot and began to process the pheasant.

There were three people in the camp, two of them were busy working, and the other one was looking around, and he seemed to be quite busy as well.

Zhou Dacang talked while working, which made Zhou Guo laugh.

The two of them glanced at him secretly. Although Zhou Su did not laugh out loud, the corners of his mouth that were secretly raised did not escape their eyes.

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

During the meal, Zhou Guo first used his own bowl to serve Zhou Su a bowl of chicken soup.

Seeing this, Zhou Dacang handed over his bowl and said, "You use mine."

Zhou Guo pointed at Zhou Su and said, "No, Xiao Su and I will share one. Your bowl is too small and I am too lazy to serve it."

Zhou Dacang smiled and shook his head, "I don't know how a small person like you can eat so much. There are so many people in the family, including the little boy who eats long meals, and people of my age who eat a lot at every meal, but none of them can eat more than you. I don't know how your stomach can hold so much."

Zhou Guo clenched his fist and shook it in front of him, "If I don't eat so much, how can I gain strength? I can kill a wild boar with one punch. The cheap roast suckling pig is not picked up for nothing."

Just as she finished speaking, she felt someone tugging at the hem of her clothes. She looked down and saw Zhou Su picking up the bowl of chicken soup from the ground and handing it to her with great effort.

The bowl of chicken soup was heavy and hot. She placed it in front of him and asked him to pick up the meat and eat it.

Apparently the little fellow hadn't eaten a single piece of meat or drunk a single sip of soup.

She smiled and sat down immediately. She took the bowl and drank a sip of soup without hesitation. After drinking it, she said, "It's so delicious. Come on, have a sip too."

Zhou Su's eyes sparkled as he glanced at her. He then leaned over to the bowl and took a big sip, then another big sip. He finished half the bowl in one breath before reluctantly putting the bowl aside.

Zhou Guo picked up a chicken leg from the bowl and said, "Come on, don't just drink the soup, eat some meat too."

Zhou Su looked at her hesitantly, and Zhou Guo smiled and said, "There are three chickens, and there are six chicken legs. You can eat them yourself. There is plenty of meat in the pot."

Zhou Su happily held the meat and started to chew on it. He ate with big mouthfuls without even raising his head, and finished the chicken leg in his hand in no time.

Zhou Guo also grabbed a piece and said, "Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you here. Everything in the bowl is yours. When you finish eating, I'll grab more. If you really can't catch any more, we have a lot of chickens at home. They will be big now and we can eat them when we get home."

Zhou Dacang said, "Don't just eat the meat. No matter how much meat there is in the pot, it won't be enough for the two of you to eat so much, not to mention three half-grown pheasants. Eat more rice. We'll be home soon anyway. This much rice is more than enough for us to have a full meal every day. Eat more, eat more."

Zhou Guo served a bowl of rice with some soup still left in it. "Here, chicken soup mixed with rice is the most delicious. Eat quickly."

Zhou Su swallowed his saliva, grabbed the bowl and started eating. After just a few bites, he choked and coughed loudly while covering his mouth.

Zhou Guo patted his back quickly, "I told you to eat slowly, but you didn't listen. Look, you choked. If you eat faster, you'll have stomachache later..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the little guy holding the bowl and crying. While crying, he swallowed the rice grains he coughed out, and did not forget to put rice into his mouth.

She cried a few times after chewing a few times. If she held her mouth shut, the rice grains would fall out, so she had to cry with her mouth closed. But she couldn't breathe with her mouth closed, so she had to open her mouth again.

Repeat this process over and over again.

Zhou Dacang turned his head away, holding back his laughter.

Zhou Guo also pressed down the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry. From now on, sister will let you eat white rice, white flour buns, and meat every meal, okay?"

Hei Dadan was also barking and jumping around happily, but no one knew what he was trying to express.

Zhou Su cried and nodded repeatedly.
