Chapter 877 I just came back and came to the door
Li smiled and said, "There is no other way. There are many things to do in the city. We have to go. Why didn't you go up the mountain today? The mushrooms in the mountain are almost gone. You want to take a break... You should take a break. You have worked hard these years. Now that life is better, you can take more rest..."
Zhou Guo lifted the car curtain and looked out. Seeing many people walking around in the village, he lowered the curtain and said with a smile, "Life has improved over the years, and everyone is smiling more. In the past, they would not leave the mountain until the last pine mushroom grew out, but now they are hibernating before winter even starts."
He didn't even go to chop firewood.
Wu Ya sighed, "That's right, they can rest when they want to, and they can stop working when they want to, but you can't. I think that if you make money like them, you will have the best life.
Look at how big our family business is. How many days can you rest throughout the year? In winter, others can lie comfortably on the kang and eat, but you have to run all over the north. You haven't had a good time for several Spring Festivals. You left right after the Spring Festival. You are much more tired than them!"
She felt so distressed watching him come back covered in snow and wind in winter, with thick snow foam on his eyes, unable to open them. He had to curl up on the kang for an hour or two before he could warm up.
Li didn't know how many tears she shed secretly and how many times her eyes turned red.
She also started to cry.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm fine. Although it's hard work, I'm very satisfied that I can feed so many people."
Wu Ya patted her hands and said, "In my heart, you are better than my uncle. I will be satisfied if Xiaohua can be half as good as you in the future."
Zhou Guo said: "She can do it, maybe she's even better than me."
Pinch Xiaohua's face, "Is that right, Xiaohua?"
Xiaohua sat in Xu's arms, nodded repeatedly, and said seriously: "I want to be as good as my aunt in the future!"
Li drew back her head from outside and happened to hear these words. She laughed and said, "Our Xiaohua is so promising, she wants to be as good as her aunt!"
Zhou Guo didn't go into the house, but went straight to the farm.
Wu Jiang said happily: "Master, you are back."
Zhou Guo nodded and asked, "How are the pine mushrooms this year? Are there a lot?"
Wu Jiang said: "This year the weather is good and the harvest is good. There are more pine mushrooms than last year. We collected only good mushrooms. There are no inferior ones. For the inferior ones, they take them to the county town and sell them for a few cents per pound. It is cheaper than the spring sheep mushrooms."
Zhou Guo looked at the warehouse full of mushrooms and said, "I guess this kind of business won't work in two years. I've already given them a method to preserve pine mushrooms. There are so many talented people in the north, and this method won't last long."
But being able to earn that for a few years is already a good deal for her. This stuff costs several hundred coins per pound in winter, so she can make a lot of money every winter.
Wu Jiang said nothing. If this method was known to others, he would have no choice but to report the results of the past few days. "Up to now, 420,000 kilograms of mushrooms have been received. It is estimated that by the end, at least 480,000 kilograms can be received."
Zhou Guo nodded, "It's already a lot. These mushrooms are top-quality and expensive. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy them. If there are too many, they won't be sold and will become a waste. Have many people come to our house recently?"
Wu Jiang shook his head. "A lot of people came on the day the ladies left. Seeing that no one was home, they came to the farm and brought a lot of things. I didn't take any of them. On the second day, there were fewer people coming, and on the third day, there were even fewer people coming. No one has come these days."
No one came when no one was at home, but someone came the next day after the family returned.
After Zhou Guo had breakfast, he was about to stay in the study to read for a while. Before he had turned a few pages, the doorman reported that someone was visiting.
She had no choice but to put down the book and patiently go out to greet the guests, muttering to herself, do these people have dog noses? Why do they come to my house as soon as they come back?
When she walked out and saw the people, she was stunned. Aren't these the ones who came with Master Liu last time? Why are they here now? The one who was insulted by her is also here. Don't they hold a grudge against her?
The man on the other side smiled as soon as he saw her, "We meet again, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "How are you these days? Come in and have a few cups of tea."
Both sides sat down.
Zhou Guo spoke a few pleasantries first, but never mentioned the unpleasantness of the previous incident.
The people on the opposite side seemed to have forgotten about it as well, and there was nothing unusual in their words.
Zhou Guo didn't understand what they were going to do.
They had already finished their cup of tea and hadn't gotten to the point yet, but she wasn't in a hurry and wasted time with them.
Finally, another cup of tea was finished, and someone couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhou, now the grain seeds have been found..."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Now that the grain seeds have been found, my promise to you will stand. You can come to my house for the harvest next autumn."
Several people were delighted and flattered: "Young Master, your mind is truly as deep as the sea."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.
Zhou Guo smiled and said nothing.
The others had no choice but to change the subject. "Young Master is truly a man of great power. He was able to recover the stolen grain intact. If an ordinary person encountered such a thing, let alone recovering it intact, it would be a blessing to be able to recover even half of it."
The others nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is not my credit. It all depends on the officials of Chengdingyun Prefecture. Without them, these seeds would not be found. Are you all relieved now?"
Everyone nodded, "Don't worry."
After saying that, he felt something was wrong, "There's nothing to worry about. Young Master is so powerful, what can't he do?"
Zhou Guo chatted with them for a while and served them tea.
Everyone understood the situation and stood up and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
Zhou Guo also stood up and said with a smile: "I'll see you off."
Everyone brought gifts when they came.
Zhou Guo asked the doorman to carry the gifts and return them to them one by one, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to receive gifts without doing anything. You should all take them back."
"Sir, you are being polite. This isn't a very valuable item. It's just a small token of our appreciation. It's not worth much."
"Yes, yes, you should accept it, sir."
Zhou Guo said sternly, "Everyone, my Zhou family does not accept any gifts from you. I promise to keep the things you want for you after the grain harvest next year. You can take these things back. My Zhou family's gate welcomes you at any time. But next time, if you bring gifts, they will not be allowed in."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be saying anything polite, everyone had to awkwardly ask her to take the gifts back.
The next day, the master of the Liu family came, but he didn't bring any valuable gifts or anything at all.
Zhou Guo was very satisfied.
After the Liu family came, the Yang family came, the Zheng family came, and finally even the Wang family came.
This was something Zhou Guo didn't expect. He didn't expect the Wang family to come to his house.
