Chapter 578 Everyone is watching you
Zhou Guo turned his head a few times and found it. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhou Dacang, looked him up and down, and said: "Uncle, why do you become more handsome as you grow older? If you were not my uncle, I would want to marry you."
Zhou Dacang glared, "What are you talking about? Is your brain burned out?"
Zhou Guo leaned over and whispered, "Look, these sisters are looking at you intentionally or unintentionally. Look at the one in front of you on the left. She's wearing a beautiful floral dress and has a pale face. She's coming over and lifting her hair. Did you see it? Hey, her hair is really beautiful, thick, black and shiny. I wonder if she had her hair washed. How about I go and ask her?"
Zhou Dacang grabbed her by the back of her collar and walked towards her. "You don't even know her, why are you going up to her? Be quiet, or else people will think I'm attracted to her."
He had already felt it. The looks from all directions were either shy, scrutinizing, or hostile. If these were arrows shot by the enemy, he would have no idea how many holes there were in his body.
Zhou Guo was amused to see him like this, "Why are you so nervous? They didn't chase you and force you to marry them. They just thought you were pretty and took a few more glances. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty. Everyone likes to look at pretty people. I also like to look at pretty girls. You've been training in the military camp for two years. You still don't mind this?"
Zhou Dacang was speechless. "What are you talking about? The barracks are full of rough guys. Except for the mares, all the horses are male. I fight all day long. How can I be indifferent to this? What do you think I do?"
Zhou Guo chuckled, "What a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. I meant that you have been in the military camp for two years and have seen life and death. How come you still can't take these things lightly? That's what I meant!"
Zhou Dacang tapped her forehead unhappily, pulled her forward and said, "Next time, don't say half of what you want to say, or you'll get beaten up when you go out. Besides, if you're not around to make jokes, I'm fine. Okay, go see what you want to buy. There are more and more people here, so go back after you buy."
Zhou Guo looked around and said, "Then let's buy some live fish. We just happen to be out of fish at home. We can't eat smoked fish during the New Year. Fish is delicious when stewed with tofu or braised."
Besides, how can fish be missing from the New Year’s Eve dinner table if we want to have abundance every year?
The only fish for sale were crucian carp, silver carp and grass carp. Zhou Guo picked two grass carps and one silver carp. The Chinese New Year was so long and they had a big family, so they could finish such a big grass carp in one meal. So they finished three of them in three meals.
Zhou Dacang also likes to eat fish, and it should be said that everyone in the Zhou family likes to eat it.
During the year of fleeing, the group had been hungry for so long and for so many days. The first full meal and the first meat dish they had was the big grass carp that Zhou Guo and the old man caught from the mountains.
Although there were no seasonings at that time and the side dishes were only wild vegetables, it was still astonishingly delicious.
Although that flavor can no longer be tasted, fish is still a favorite ingredient of the Zhou family.
Zhou Guo carried the three fish in the bucket and followed Zhou Dacang for another walk.
While walking around, I met an old acquaintance.
Lao Lizheng was leaning on a cane and was a little hesitant to recognize him, "Okura? Is it really you? When did you come back? Are you not working in the barracks anymore?"
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "No, I came back with a minor injury. I have been recovering at home for some time and I did not dare to disturb you. I was thinking of visiting you at your hometown during the Chinese New Year. I will leave after the Chinese New Year. Are you still healthy?"
Zhou Guo looked at his back which had become more hunched and sighed slightly. He had spent too much energy on fleeing, and Lao Li Zheng had obviously aged a lot in the past two years.
When fleeing, I walked very briskly and my strength was no less than that of young people, but I still had to worry about all kinds of things. But once I settled down, I couldn't do it anymore. All kinds of illnesses came, and I felt uncomfortable here and there.
The old man waved his hands and said, "It's no use. My legs and feet are not good enough. I can't compare with you young people. While you are still at home, come to my house for a gathering during the New Year. I will call them all. It has been several years since we have gathered together. Let's discuss when to move the graves on the road. If I don't do this, how can I face them? I told them in front of their graves when I buried them."
As he spoke he began to choke up.
Zhou Dacang and Zhou Guo tried to persuade him, and the old village head's son and grandson also tried to persuade him.
Zhou Dacang apologized, "Village head, I have to leave after the New Year, and I don't know when I will be back. You have to wait for me for two years. Otherwise, this matter will fall on Zhou Guo and Zhou Gu in our family, as well as Brother Jin and Brother Yin, and your grandson. They are all very capable, much more capable than us. There are many people who can be used."
The old man glanced at his son and grandson and said, "No, I'm old but my heart is not. With just a few of them, I'm afraid we'll be robbed as soon as we leave Yunzhou. It's a mess outside. Without a great general like you, how can we move here? I'm afraid not only the dead can't be moved, but even the living will be turned into graves."
Zhou Dacang said, "Village head, now is not the time to talk about this. You see, there are more and more people here, and it's getting colder outside. How about you go back first? I will come to your house the day after tomorrow. I still have to go to your house to wish you a happy new year. Then we can slowly work it out. Do you think it's okay?"
Zhou Guo stood aside obediently without saying a word.
Lao Lizheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home. If I don't handle this matter well, how can I go to see your father and those old friends down there?"
Watched them go away.
Zhou Dacang sighed and said, "I remember when I left home two years ago, the old village head didn't seem to be this old, but his hair was almost completely white. How come he got old so fast?"
Zhou Guo said: "The doctor said that he was exhausted while fleeing and his vitality was damaged."
Zhou Dacang felt the vague glances coming from people on the street and didn't want to go shopping anymore. He took the wooden barrel from Zhou Guo and said, "Look for something you want to buy and buy it yourself. I'll wait for you in the car outside."
Zhou Guo sighed as he looked at the increasing number of young girls in front of him.
I walked forward, bought a piece of date cake and ate it while walking, to see if there was anything I wanted to buy. If not, I could buy some seeds.
That year she bought rice seeds from an old man. She planted them for a year last year and again this year, and the yield is even higher than last year.
This year, Wang Fugui and several other families also planted some rice. These families planted rice in the same way as in previous years, and the yield per mu was indeed two or three dou higher than before.
Zhou Guo’s management is more meticulous than last year, and the yield this year is even higher than last year, with three more dou of rice per mu.
It’s a pity that there is not enough fertilizer, otherwise maybe we could get up to four stones per acre.
