Chapter 573 Two more people on the farm
But since the two of them chose it themselves, she didn't say anything and bought another pair of shoes for each of them.
After buying the things, Zhou Guo took them out of the city.
Now that they are well fed and warmly dressed, the two of them talk more.
In order to let them run more and sweat, Zhou Guo walked a distance and rode a horse for a while, and asked the two to jog to keep up.
To her surprise, the two brothers were very fast runners. They could jog for nearly half an hour before they were out of breath.
The two of them also said, "Master, you ride a horse, and we can keep up with you even if we trot behind you."
"We two brothers are not good at other things, but we are fast at running. We can run far and fast, and people usually can't catch up with us."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Can't catch up with you? Then who was blocked at the city gate and beaten just now?"
The younger one said anxiously, "We weren't paying attention. We were just looking for a place to eat chicken, but they saw you giving us chicken from a distance and kept following us. They couldn't get away after a few attempts. There were so many of them and there were only two of us."
Zhou Guo asked: "I don't even know your names, how did you become beggars?"
The older one said, "Master, I'm Dapang, and this is my younger brother, Erpang. Our parents died, and our house and land were taken away by our uncle, so we have no choice but to beg for food. We have been out for almost three years, and it has been fourteen years since I was born, and ten years since my younger brother was born."
Zhou Guo nodded. He explained the brothers' life stories in just a few words. It was very good. "Do you still remember where your home is?"
Da Pang said: "Remember, I will remember it until I die."
They remembered exactly how they were driven out.
Zhou Guo stopped talking about this heavy topic and started talking about the arrangements for them. "I have a farm at home with many servants. I will take you back and you will live on the farm. The farm is very busy right now and is short of manpower. I will hand you over to Wu the steward and he will arrange for you."
"Yes!" Hearing that the people on the farm were all servants like them, the two felt relieved.
I ran, rested and walked all the way, and it was already mid-afternoon when I got home.
Zhou Guo put down his things and took his two brothers upstairs to the farm.
Wu Jiang and others came out and were surprised to see two people following Zhou Guo, then they saluted.
Zhou Guo nodded and briefly introduced the two people to Wu Jiang. Finally, he said, "You always complain about not having enough manpower. I brought two people to you this time. You can arrange them and give them a place to live. If there is not enough money, you can withdraw money from the account."
Wu Jiang said yes, he was very happy, he was a boy, he could be used at will and it was easy to arrange for him.
Zhou Guo turned to the fat guy and said, "From now on, you should listen to Manager Wu. There are many people here, but they are all very nice. I will come to see you tomorrow."
Big Fat and Two Fat Fat looked at the rows of houses. All the people there were about their age, no, most of them were boys who were a little older than them. There were also many who were younger than them and they were a little hesitant.
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, come and meet me. This is Hu Zi, the second chief steward. You can call him Brother Hu Zi in private. This is Bao Zi..."
The steamed buns gathered around laughing and introduced themselves one by one.
Big Fat and Little Fat also smiled, their eyes a little moist. This was the long-lost feeling of home, it was so nice here!
Zhou Guo left when he saw this. Boys should be with other boys. Look, he integrated into the group so quickly!
When I got home, it was time for dinner.
After taking off his shoes and getting on the kang, Zhou Dacang asked, "Where did you get these two people back from?"
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "You don't know her yet. I guess she either feels sorry for others or she meddles in other people's business because she was beaten up. She ended up meddling in other people's business at home."
Zhou Mai and the others couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Guo also laughed, "Master, I'm not meddling in other people's business today. I was thinking that there was a shortage of manpower in the mountains, so it would be a good idea for me to bring them back. Besides, they were beaten because of me."
It tells how she met them and gave them a roast chicken, how they were beaten at the city gate when they were about to leave, how Big Fat protected Second Fat, and how Second Fat ate while feeding Big Fat.
"You didn't see that the fat guy was in rags all over. It was so cold and he didn't even have a pair of shoes. Yet he took good care of his brother. He not only had clothes to cover his body but also had shoes to wear. It's rare to see two brothers who are so loyal and affectionate."
Everyone in the room listened in silence and sighed, "It's rare."
No one said anything else. If the two brothers had such character, they would probably bring them back if they met them. It would just be a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks and two more laborers.
Li only asked the two people's names, and after hearing about their life stories, she couldn't help but curse their uncle, "What a heartless man! They are blood relatives, but he has the heart to drive two orphaned children out to beg for food. They will go to hell in the future and have no face to see their ancestors."
I can't understand how they can be so cruel when they are blood relatives. Aren't we all family?
It turns out that there are all kinds of people in the world, there are cruel brothers and sisters-in-law and there are also cruel uncles.
Zhou Xing picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, eat quickly. There is no need to be so angry over someone who has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Yes, mother, do you think everyone is like our family, so loving and caring? A family like ours is one in a million, so our life is prosperous. Who can compare to us?"
Li said with a smile: "Yes, your family is the best, no one else can compare."
The old man couldn't help but say: "It's rare."
There is a smile on the lips.
There was a moment of silence.
Zhou Guo said: "See, I said it, Master said so."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The meal passed in a lively manner.
Zhou Dacang couldn't stop smiling. The food in the house was so delicious!
After finishing the meal, Zhou Guo took out the things he bought.
Copper pot, sesame paste and sesame oil.
Everyone looked at this strange-shaped pot and wondered what it was used for.
Li asked, "You went to the county town early in the morning just to buy this thing? What kind of pot is this? How do you use it?"
The old man stopped drinking his tea and came up to ask, "Is this a hot pot?"
Everyone looked up in unison, "Sir, have you eaten it?"
The old man said, "This is used a lot in the capital. It is most often used to cook hot pot. It is available in all big restaurants."
When everyone heard this, they not only yearned for the prosperity of the capital, but also found things they had never seen before in every street and alley of the capital.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Let's start cooking tonight and prepare the meat. We can also eat shabu-shabu tomorrow."
In fact, she thinks that a ceramic pot at home will do for hot pot, but a copper pot would create more atmosphere.
After all, this was her first time eating mutton hotpot.
The old man didn't sit still when there was something delicious, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll start the pot."
