Chapter 1242 Xu Yubei
Xu Yubei smiled and took out a box from his arms. "I have always wanted to meet my omnipotent sister. Now that I see her, she is indeed a rare talent. This is my gift to you. It is not very expensive, but just a token of my appreciation."
Xu Sibei watched him take out the gift, reached out to grab it, opened it, and said, "Show me what it is."
After reading it, he smiled with satisfaction and handed it to Zhou Guo, "It's a good thing."
Zhou Guo took it, opened it and took a look, he saw a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets, in his hands, they were smooth and delicate, they were the best mutton-fat white.
She thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, second brother. I'm sorry that you spent a lot of money on it. I like this bracelet very much."
This kind of stuff is hard to find.
Seeing that she accepted it generously, Xu Yubei was even happier and said, "As long as you like it, it's just a pair of jade bracelets, not worth much."
Xu Sibei said: "That's right, don't save money for your second brother, he has a lot of money, much richer than me."
Most of the Xu family's assets are in the hands of Xu Yubei, and half of the military expenditures in recent years have come from him, but he is not well-known. Seriously speaking, his name in the outside world is not as loud as Zhou Guo's, and not many people in the military know him.
Zhou Dacang waited patiently by the side. Now that his elder and second brothers had been found, there was no need to rush, as there would be many opportunities to reunite in the future.
The two brothers of the Xu family also knew that they hadn't seen each other for many years, so they said without saying a word, "Let's go and have dinner too."
The group entered the camp, and only a few of them were missing.
Xu Xiushan sat at the top, Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dacai sat on the right, and the left side was empty. He pointed to the left side and said to Zhou Dacang, "Come on, General Zhou, come here."
He waved to Zhou Guo and the others, "Come over here and sit next to me."
There are three positions around him.
This was obviously a family dinner for the Zhou family, and the others were just sitting there to accompany the guests. Since it was a family dinner, no one was dissatisfied with the seating arrangement.
Zhou Guo glanced at his father and uncle. Both of them looked a little confused and flustered. When they saw their daughter looking at him, they smiled.
She smiled, walked over, and sat down on the right side of Xu Xiushan, so that she was very close to the Zhou Dacai brothers who were behind the attack.
The Xu Yubei brothers sat down on the other side.
Xu Xiushan laughed heartily, feeling very proud. He raised his glass and said, "It's a great day today. The two Zhou brothers have been separated from their families for so many years, but they are still able to return safely. Congratulations! My daughter not only has a godfather, but now even her biological father has returned. Brother Zhou, I have to apologize to you for adopting my daughter as my adopted daughter without your consent."
Zhou Dacai quickly stood up holding the wine glass and said, "General, you are too kind. It is a blessing for Guoguo to recognize you as her godfather, and it is also a blessing for our family."
Even if he is stupid or ignorant, he now knows the identity of the Xu family. With time, things will definitely be different. It will only be good for Zhou Guo to be related to the Xu family.
Xu Xiushan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. I want to discuss something with you. How about this? Since the child has already recognized me as her godfather, she is a member of my Xu family. I will have her included in the family tree of my Xu family soon. This is a serious matter. After all, you are the child's biological father. I need your approval no matter what."
Zhou Dacai was a little confused. He had never seen any adopted son or daughter being included in the family tree of his godfather's family. When he realized what was going on, he was overjoyed. Before he spoke, he thought of his daughter and looked at her.
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that she was happy to do so.
Zhou Dacai said happily: "General, this is a great blessing for this child."
The other people in the account were very envious.
This is the Xu family. Seeing that the capital city is about to be lost, the Xu family will surely ascend to the throne and become rich and powerful. The Zhou family, a peasant family, has unexpectedly become a royal relative. They have worked hard all their lives but cannot catch up with others who have adopted a god-relative.
The Zhou brothers were all very happy. What was wrong with being included in the family tree? They were still members of the Zhou family. From this generation on, their Zhou family would have their own family tree, and Zhou Guo would definitely be on it.
Once she is included in the Xu family genealogy, she will truly be a member of the Xu family. From now on, whatever the Xu family children have, she will definitely have a share. This child will be invaluable in the future.
Seeing their sincerity, Xu Xiushan laughed happily, patted Zhou Guo's little head, and said proudly: "This child is destined to be with my Xu family. Her brothers all like her. It seems like she was born to be a member of my Xu family. She really acts like my family."
Zhou Guo chuckled.
Everyone laughed and clinked glasses.
Xu Sibei came over with a glass of wine and asked her, "How is the Chen family in Jinling who bullied you?"
Zhou Guo pretended to be surprised and asked, "You know all this?"
Xu Sibei glanced at her with a sad look.
Zhou Guo: "...They are still in jail. They have killed many people and have committed many secret crimes. The evidence is irrefutable. We will wait until the spring to sentence them."
Xu Sibei said: "If it were you, I would sentence them directly. Anyway, they are being condemned by everyone in Jinling now. What else do you have to worry about?"
Judging from the example of Huguang, Zhou Guo's style of doing things will not leave any wiggle room for others in such matters.
Zhou Guo said, "Don't the Chen family have several high-ranking officials? I think by the time spring comes, this matter will be settled. By then, it will be clear what the future holds for the Chen family."
She was still thinking about whether there was anyone in the Chen family who could be used. If an old member was needed, the sentence could be lighter, such as exile.
Xu Sibei said: "It doesn't matter if you have these few people. You have exiled his family members, and you still expect them to work hard?"
Zhou Guo said: "That's true, but I think we can rely on the Chen family to break this breakthrough."
When she said this, Xu Sibei understood what she meant, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
The feast lasted for more than an hour, and gradually it got dark outside until it was cool at night. Xu Xiushan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. The child is exhausted from the long journey. Let her rest early. You and your daughter can also go down and have a good chat. I won't disturb you anymore."
The crowd dispersed in an instant.
……
Zhou Dafu, Zhou Dacai, Zhou Dacang and Zhou Guo sat in Zhou Dacang's big tent. No one spoke for a while.
After a while, Zhou Guo asked, "Dad, uncle, where have you been these years?"
Zhou Dacai recalled: "Back then, your uncle and I went to the county town to look for work. Not long after we entered the county town, we ran into the conscripts who arrested us and made us transport food and grass for the army.
It was a mess. We followed the main army that day. At first, we had no idea where we were going, and we couldn't tell east from west. There was chaos everywhere. We wanted to write a letter and bring it back, but we couldn't find a chance. We went here today and there tomorrow. Our superiors changed from time to time, and we drifted for many years. "
