Chapter 1024 The villagers said you ran away with someone
The county magistrate felt relieved and proud after hearing her words, as if he had drunk a bowl of cold water on a June day. "This is what we should do, what we should do."
Zhou Guo came out of the yamen with a smile on his face. Dashu asked, "Master, is this settled?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "It's settled. We'll go back to Song County tomorrow and come back when the day comes."
To be honest, she has been to many high-class banquets in the north and listened to plays in all these years here, but she has never organized one herself.
"So, where's Brother Erpang? Didn't you ask him to prepare something?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "Let him stay here and go back after this matter is done."
Erpang was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. She couldn't find anyone around her and everyone had something to do except him. So he was the only one who could do this.
Early the next morning, she packed some duck products and snacks and took her people back to Song County.
We galloped all the way and arrived at the farm before noon.
Before she could stop her horse, she saw several people running towards her from a distance.
"Sister, sister!"
"Guoguo!"
She smiled, pulled the reins, and the horse stopped quickly, "neigh, neigh..."
The two front hooves stood upright.
Everyone was startled and stopped immediately. Li even screamed.
Zhou Guo sat firmly on the horse and held the reins for a while. The horse's two front legs dropped down and walked back and forth restlessly.
She touched its neck soothingly, and the horse under her gradually calmed down.
Zhou Guo jumped down and ran towards the crowd, "Mom, when did you get here?"
Li took her hand and looked her up and down, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight. You've been on the road all the time, so you must not have eaten well. Child, you said you were back, why didn't you go back to the village?"
Wu Ya came up and said, "You went south last fall and never came back, not even for the New Year. Now it's spring and you're still nowhere to be seen. People in the village are saying all kinds of things. Some say you're gone, and some even say you ran away with a guy and won't be back."
At this time, Zhou Su and others also ran up and looked her up and down.
"Sister, you are finally back. Next time you go to the south, take me with you. I will go with you and will definitely take good care of you."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You're still taking care of me? It's good enough that I don't take care of you, but you're still taking care of me."
Zhou Mai and the others were older, and not as physical as Zhou Suli and Li Lai. They were also much calmer, and although they saw her excited, they controlled themselves. Only their shining eyes revealed that they were also very excited.
"Auntie, auntie, I miss you so much!" Xiaohua couldn't squeeze in, and she was so anxious that she was jumping up and down outside and almost crying.
Hearing the voice, everyone made way, revealing the little person with a red, anxious face. Zhou Guo laughed, picked her up and tossed her around, and Xiaohua giggled with joy.
The family sat down.
Li asked, "When will you go home?"
Zhou Guo said, "I'm not free right now. I'm busy here. Besides, isn't my elder brother in the house? It's enough to have him there. I guess we'll be busy until after the spring ploughing here."
After finishing the spring plowing, she still had to go to Huaikong Temple to bring the Buddha back. There was a lot to do.
Zhou Mai said: "Mom, Guoguo is busy. If she doesn't have time to go back, don't ask. There are many things to do here."
The business at home is so small, but Zhou Gu is still busy every day. The business outside is even more amazing.
Li sighed, "I don't really want you to go back. I just want everyone to see that my daughter is still alive and well, and she hasn't left with any man. These bad guys with rotten tongues will never get any good in their lives."
Zhou Guo looked at her, then at the others, and everyone looked unhappy.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go back with you guys after I'm done here."
Nothing is more important than family.
Li was happy. "That's it. I've noticed that the villagers have become more and more difficult to get along with over the years. If it weren't for the pressure from others, I don't know how many people would look down on us."
Zhou Guo said: "How about we move out of the village?"
Li was reluctant to leave. "Although many people in the village can't stand seeing others doing well, there are still many people who are close to us. They are all very nice. Besides, that is our root. We are from Cangshan Village. Will we never go back?"
It’s hard to go back once you’ve left. After getting used to the good life, it’s not easy to go back to life in the village.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to be from Cangshan Village. From now on, you can be wherever you want to be. Even if you want to go back to your hometown, it's not impossible."
Not to mention my uncle, even she can do this.
Everyone looked at each other, and none of them looked very happy.
Li said, "Why do we feel like we are like duckweed, without roots? If everywhere is our home, then doesn't that mean that nowhere is our home?"
Zhou Guo: “…”
He said helplessly: "Then don't move, you can just live in the village, you won't be here for many years anyway."
My uncle said that it would take another three years for the world to be stable, and if she gave him one more year, four years would not be long.
Everyone was shocked. "What do you mean? What do you mean you can't live here for much longer?"
Zhou Guo looked around and lowered his voice, "My uncle said that the world will be stable in three or four years. We don't know where my uncle will go in three or four years, but no matter where he goes, it is definitely not suitable for us to live in Cangshan Village anymore."
Even if I don't go to the capital, I will be in Yunzhou.
The whole family was extremely surprised. Li slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, really? Did your uncle really say that?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she frowned, "That's not right. When did your uncle say that? Isn't your uncle fighting in the south? Have you seen him?"
Everyone looked over.
Zhou Mai asked, "Yeah, have you seen my uncle? Did you go to the front line?"
The old man's eyes drifted away, drifting to other places.
Zhou Guo admitted straightforwardly, "Yes, I met my uncle and spent the New Year with him."
When these words came out, everyone was shocked, "You went to the front line?"
Li's eyes were red, her mouth trembled as she pointed at her and couldn't speak, "You, you, you want..."
Zhou Guo said quickly, "Mom, don't be afraid. I'm sitting here fine. Nothing happened. Besides, I didn't run to the front to meet him. He ran to the back to meet me. He found me."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li almost couldn't breathe, her back felt cold, and she angrily said, "What did I tell you? I told you not to go to the place where the war is going on. Swords have no eyes, and this chaotic army is even more dangerous! You are so disobedient, I can't control you now that I am old, right? Come on, take my life!!!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood up and tried to find a pillar to ram into.
Everyone else stood up in fear, except the old man.
