Chapter 841 Missing my mother
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will take them there. If we don't let them go, they might go there secretly. In fact, there are many wild fruits in the mountains. Our whole family can go there."
They are all children who grew up in the village. When they were young, they often ran around the mountains and fields, with groups of children running all over the mountains.
Seeing this, the old man said, "Then wait for your uncle to come back. When he comes back, we can go for a walk in the mountains together. With the general by his side, I think nothing will happen."
Not to mention Zhou Suli and Li, even Zhou Guo was looking forward to these.
……
Zhou Dacang came back early in the morning.
It was just dawn when we arrived at the village.
Zhou Guo had just finished practicing, and the sweat on his face hadn't yet disappeared when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
She rushed out to look, and although there was some distance between them, she still recognized the familiar figure and the tall horse!
Li also got up, and when she heard the noise, she ran out quickly.
Zhou Dacang saw Zhou Guo from a distance, smiled, and just reined in his horse. Before he could say anything, he saw Li running out.
Zhou Dacang paused with a smile on his face, jumped off his horse and said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Li didn't answer. She looked him up and down, over and over again, her eyes reddened, and she said in a trembling voice, "I haven't seen you for a few years. I can hardly recognize you. You've grown up. If your parents saw you, they would be so happy. Their youngest son is now a general. He's so promising!"
Pulling his arm and unfolding it, he said, "You're not injured, are you? They say that generals are covered in wounds. Swords and guns are merciless on the battlefield. You've become a general in just two years. I wonder how much you've suffered."
These words made Zhou Dacang, a tough guy, almost tear up. He had never cared about his injuries, but he never expected that his family members would remember them even though they clearly didn't see anything.
At this time, Zhou Mai and others also got up.
When they saw Zhou Dacang coming back, they all surrounded him.
“Uncle!!”
"Uncle, you're back!!"
"Uncle, you are so awesome! You really have become a great general!"
Zhou Dacang looked at his nephews and asked in surprise, "Why are you all here? Don't you have to go to school?"
The old man came out of the house slowly without saying anything. After all, they had met last winter.
Zhou Dacang looked at the family and was speechless.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I went back and told you that you can come out once a month from now on. Everyone was so happy that we packed up that night and came the next day."
Zhou Mai also smiled and said, "We asked for leave from our teacher, saying we were going on a study tour, and we asked for a 20-day leave."
Zhou Dacang was touched and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I've never heard of anyone saying that a study tour would only last for 20 days, and your teacher actually approved it."
Zhou Su smiled and said, "It may not be possible for ordinary people, but my brother is a good student, so there is no reason for the teacher to refuse."
Li said, "You just came out, you haven't had breakfast yet, come on, go to the room and rest for a while, I'll make you something, I guarantee it's all your favorite."
There were two other old women in the kitchen, helping out.
Zhou Guo said: "It's hot now, let's sit in the yard for a while before the sun comes out."
A group of people came into the house, moved stools, and sat down in the yard.
Zhou Guo asked, "Uncle, how many days can you stay at home this time?"
Zhou Dacang looked at her and smiled, "Two days. I will return to the camp the day after tomorrow morning."
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up.
Zhou Su shouted, "Two days? Can you stay for two days this time?!"
Everyone was very happy. When Zhou Dacang entered the military camp, it was like he entered the palace. They hadn't seen each other for several years. This time, he could stay for two days, which was already a long time for them.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We were thinking of you taking us to the mountains to hunt. We haven't been to the mountains here yet."
Zhou Dacang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. We'll leave after dinner."
He finally had some time to spend with his family, and he agreed to whatever his nephews and nieces said.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi caught him and asked him about some things in the military camp, especially what major events had happened on the way south.
Zhou Dacang picked out interesting things to talk about.
Before he could finish his words, Li called out from the kitchen, "It's time for dinner, set the table."
Zhou Guo muttered, "It's only been half an hour, it's too fast, could it be that they just made some steamed buns and porridge?"
Help serve meals in the kitchen.
As a result, I was dumbfounded when I entered.
There is food and vegetables everywhere on the stove and chopping board.
She hadn't been to the kitchen in the past two days. She looked at the dishes in the kitchen and said, "Mom, how much have you prepared?"
Li was still scooping the last dish. Hearing this, she said, "These are all home-cooked dishes. They are your uncle's favorite. We don't know what the food in the barracks is like, but we think that with so many people eating, it can't be much better. He hasn't been back for a few years. He finally came back. We must make more delicious food for him."
Zhou Guo was convinced. Her mother was really smart sometimes and even knew this.
For breakfast, there were steamed buns, fish porridge, plain noodles, sesame seed buns, fried dough sticks, fried pork with pickles, stewed grass carp with wild vegetables, stir-fried leeks and cucumbers, and even stir-fried wild vegetables. There was a whole table full of everything.
If the plates weren't small, they wouldn't fit on a table.
Li said to Zhou Dacang, "You finally came back, eat more. There's more in the kitchen after you finish eating. I've prepared a lot more."
Zhou Dacang looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, that's enough. These are all my favorites."
He first took a steamed bun, took a big bite, then picked up a piece of grass carp and a piece of wild vegetables with chopsticks.
Everyone at the table watched him eat, and no one picked up their chopsticks for a while.
Seeing him eating the steamed bun in big mouthfuls, Zhou Guo sighed inwardly. Her mother learned the skill of making steamed buns from her grandmother. The grass carp stewed with wild vegetables was the best thing they had ever eaten on the road. Her grandmother was still alive at that time.
Her uncle, he misses his mother!
Li's tears almost flowed out. She raised her chopsticks to pick up some food for him, "Eat slowly. There is more in the kitchen. I prepared a lot. When you return to the camp, take some back. If you put it in ice cubes to cool it down, it will last for half a month. You will be able to eat it again after a month."
Zhou Dacang puffed up his lips, nodded, and said with a smile: "Oh, I see. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time."
The old man sighed in his heart and said to everyone, "We should eat quickly. After we finish eating, we can go into the mountains to look for treasures. Today we have the general leading us. Let's see who has better luck and who can find the big ginseng!"
Zhou Dacang nearly choked to death on a mouthful of steamed bun. After swallowing the bun in his mouth for a while, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
Zhou Guo said: "Uncle, we all want to find some hundred-year-old ginseng to bring down the mountain."
"You are the great general. We think we can find good things by following you." Zhou Mi said seriously and nodded.
