Chapter 897 Something Left for Her
Zhou Su said, "Not bad. The food at the Zhao family is delicious and rich. They also have your favorite lion's head."
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "I don't want to eat anymore. I ate too much at noon. You go and eat. If it's really delicious, fill a bowl for me and bring it over. Oh, by the way, remember to call me when you leave."
Zhou Su nodded and left.
When Li heard that Zhou Guo had fallen asleep in the back and didn't want to come to dinner, she whispered, "Let her rest there. Let's eat quickly and go back early after dinner. It's getting late and the night is getting cold. How can we sleep on the rocks?"
Zhou Su ran to the other side and told the old men everything.
The old man was unhappy, and couldn't help but glared at Old Master Zhao and said, "Then eat quickly, and we'll go back after you finish eating."
The old man was confused, "What's going on?"
The old man snorted, "What else? Look at me, I'm so tired that I don't even want to come to eat. You really treat me like a donkey, don't you? You love your own children. Are you too old and your brain isn't working well to do such a thing?"
The old man's voice became louder and louder, and he became angrier and angrier as he spoke.
Of the two old men, Mr. Zhao is older.
Each one is more noble than the other.
The quarrel between the two old people naturally attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked over there openly or secretly.
After all, Old Master Zhao was in the wrong. He glanced at the table and really didn't see Zhou Guo. Feeling a little guilty, he whispered, "What's wrong with that kid? Why didn't he come to eat?"
The old man snorted, "I'm exhausted!"
Mr. Zhao: "...No, not really. That kid is always full of energy. He can kill a wild boar with one punch."
The old man didn't want to talk to him anymore.
After dinner, it was getting late and many people left one after another.
The Zhou family was originally going to be the last to leave, after all, it was Zhou Xing who gave birth to a child. However, Zhou Guo was so tired that he didn't eat, so Li asked to leave before all the guests had left.
Zhou Guo was also called out from the back garden by Zhou Su.
He followed Li obediently, waiting to go home, and yawned several times after a while.
He looked listless, as if he had just been cutting wheat all day.
The old lady was confused. "What happened? Why are you so tired?"
Because Zhou Guo had a special status, she thought the men were eating at the table when she didn't see him during dinner, so she didn't ask and therefore didn't know Zhou Guo didn't eat.
The old man felt guilty and asked with concern, "You are so tired, why don't you just rest at home and go back tomorrow? I'll ask a doctor to take a look and prescribe some tonic medicine or something."
Zhou Guo said, "No need, Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Zhao, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, sister and brother-in-law, you guys take care of yourselves. There will be a lot of things to do during the banquet in the next few days, so we won't disturb you. We have things to do at home."
After she said that, no one wanted to stay any longer, after all, the Zhou family really had a lot of things to do.
Although the old lady didn't know what happened, she probably knew that it was her father who had provoked her.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait a moment. You are busy now and haven't come to our house for a long time. I left some things for you here. They are all for you. Take them back."
The people around him retreated smartly.
Li said, "Oh, how can I say this? You are so considerate. You should keep the good things for yourself. She is just a little girl and should honor you."
The old lady smiled and said, "She always thinks of us. She always remembers to give us some of the good things she gets outside. What a good child! You are so lucky. I only regret one thing in my life, that I don't have a caring daughter. I love this child and feel sorry for her. As a mother, don't stop her. Besides, these things are for her, not for you. Let her keep them."
There was truth in her words. Whenever Zhou Guo got something good outside, he would remember to give a portion to Zhou Xing. But there were only a few people in the Zhao family, so he might as well give it to everyone.
Although the Zhao family didn't say it, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts and felt that this child was really thoughtful!
The two of them talked back and forth for a while, but Zhou Guo, the person involved, didn't say a word.
Not long after, a servant came carrying a box.
Zhou Guo looked at the box which was neither big nor small and wondered if it was all for her.
Li was also shocked, "Madam, this?"
The old lady motioned her not to speak and told the servant, "Open it."
When the box was opened, everyone looked inside and saw that it was filled with clothing materials.
The old lady smiled at Zhou Guo and said, "I know you are particular about what you wear. Here are the fabrics I saved for you. Although they are not as good as what you are wearing, they are thin and light, perfect for summer. There are also some leather underneath, which is very warm. You have to run around in winter, so these are just right for making a big cloak for you."
The servants picked them up one by one and found that there were indeed some furs underneath, including fox furs, mink furs, and even red fox furs.
Zhou Guo was embarrassed to accept it, "Madam, how can I accept this..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the old lady frowned and said, "Why are you embarrassed? This is what I gave you. It's the elders giving things to the younger generation. If you accept it happily, we will be happy. It is a filial piety to us. Besides, these things are just dead objects. You have to keep them."
She took a small box from a servant and said, "It contains a ginseng that is about fifty years old. I know your family is not short of it, but this is a gift from me as your grandmother. You can't refuse it. Just think of it as a supplement for your body."
The old man nodded repeatedly at the side, "Yes, yes, yes, it's good for nourishing the body, and ginseng is the best for nourishing the body."
Zhou Guo took it with both hands, smiled very obediently, and said, "Thank you, Grandma Zhao!"
The old lady smiled and said, "That's right. We are close relatives. You gave me so many things, so of course you should take what I give you. Otherwise, how can I accept your things in the future?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma Zhao, even if you don't give me anything, I will still be filial to you in the future."
Mrs. Zhao also brought a bundle over and handed it to Li, saying, "This contains some clothing materials I prepared for the child. Please keep it."
Li declined, "How can I do that? You've already given me money once. If I give it every year, won't it mean that all your good things will be drained out?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Hey, we stay at home all day, and when we have nothing to do, we buy some clothes and jewelry. We have a small family, and we can't wear all these clothes. It's just right to give them to this child. She runs around all day and is more tired than any of us. Besides, Yuan'er and Cheng'er will benefit from her in the future."
