Chapter 788 Each with His Own
"Oh, you are stupid, is she a farmer? She is the daughter of a great general, raised by his son. What you see is a farmer. Maybe she has more than a dozen of the best teachers taking turns to teach her every day!"
You're right, aren't they trying to curry favor with her just because she's the general's daughter?
Originally, many people did not believe it, or were skeptical. What kind of good person would send their children to the countryside to be raised by the country people?
She is the apple of the general's eye!
But now after this contact, I have to believe it, can a farmer raise such a person?
You can't raise one in your lifetime!!
It can be seen that she is really the general's daughter!
As a result, more people come to the store every day.
At first, only men came, and later even the wives, grandmas, and daughters of the family came.
Zhou Guo was dumbfounded. Every day when she woke up, her eyes were dark and her mind was foggy and she couldn't think straight before going to bed. How could she entertain so many people by herself? She couldn't do it even if she said she was exhausted and vomited blood.
Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Zhao came with his family.
Plus, the old man couldn't stand it anymore and came back too.
Zhou Gu didn't go out either.
In this way, the old ones are accompanied by the old ones, the middle-aged ones are accompanied by Master Zhao, the young ones are accompanied by her, Zhou Gu, Zhao Yang, Zhou Xing and Wu Ya, and the ladies are also accompanied by Li.
The whole family had never done this before. The people who usually dealt with were farmers, so everyone was used to being casual. After two days of entertaining them, everyone was miserable.
In the end, Zhou Mai and the others happened to be on leave, and when they came back, Zhou Guo's good days finally returned a little.
At least she no longer needs to entertain men between their teens and twenties; Zhou Mai and her friends can handle them.
Zhou Su also took them to collect bird eggs, catch sparrows, catch crabs, and grill fish and cook by the river. This group of rich young men had a great time.
They were not interested in their studies in the first place and were already very tired on weekdays. But after finally arriving in the countryside, they still had to endure the same situation as in class. Who could stand that?
Now following Zhou Mai and others, I feel that this is the good life in the countryside!
This pastime was much more interesting than their usual one.
A group of people went to the mountains to pick mushrooms. There were no other mushrooms, but there were some fir mushrooms.
The group of teenagers, who usually lived a life of luxury, couldn't walk far, so a few people took them to the nearest mountain to pick mushrooms in a forest covered with pine needles.
"Oh, is this it? Can I eat it or not?"
"There's a yellow one over there, didn't you see it? Hahaha, I picked it up!!"
The young men had never picked wild mushrooms before, but when they saw the orange and yellow caps emerging from the thick pine needles, they exclaimed with joy.
"Look, why do I feel like these fungi glow in the forest? They're really treasures! Hey, Zhou Mai, can we really eat this? Will we be poisoned to death?"
Zhou Mai said: "They are really edible. We often come here to pick them up when we have nothing to do in the summer. If you are really worried, just pick them up and don't eat them. Just treat it as a pastime."
"How can I not eat this? I picked it up with great difficulty. I will take it back to my grandfather. He will be very happy. This is my filial piety to him."
A group of young men came and went and searched the hilltop thoroughly, but they still felt unsatisfied and wanted to look for more.
Zhou Mai didn't dare to let them go any further. "The next hill where mushrooms grow is a bit far from here. It's getting late. Let's go back first."
Zhou Guo was waiting for them to come back home.
As soon as the teenagers came back, they shouted that they had a lot of fun today.
The girls listened with longing in their eyes and looked at Zhou Guo, "Can we go too?"
Zhou Guo was speechless and said in embarrassment: "For this, you should ask your parents and family members. Besides, snakes, insects, rats and ants are prevalent in the mountains at this time. There may be one on a branch. It is very dangerous."
The girls have been locked up in their rooms since they were young, and they are most afraid of these things. When they hear that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, they become silent.
Zhou Guo felt that it was pitiful for them to be locked up at home all day, so he took them for a walk nearby, digging wild vegetables, picking wild flowers, and throwing stones into the river. There were still some wild berries left in the vegetable garden, so he took them to pick them personally.
A group of girls were laughing and having fun.
After having fun, he asked Zhou Guo: "Zhou Guo, next time I'm bored at home, can I still come to see you?"
A group of girls looked over. They thought the countryside was so interesting and they wanted to come too.
Zhou Guo's mouth twitched. The countryside was clean now. The area around their house had been cleaned up by the people who made compost on the farm. All the dead branches, rotten leaves, hay, cow dung and chicken manure that fell on the ground were taken back to be made into compost.
Otherwise, if it were like in the past, you could see cow dung and chicken dung on the road from time to time, and even step on some children's feces on the roadside. These delicate girls from the country would not want to come here.
She said tactfully: "I'm not always free, and I'm not at home most of the time."
The house is even smaller now, with only a small yard. When guests come, we can’t even tell the front yard from the back yard, and there isn’t even a decent place to entertain them.
What's more, there are so many brothers in the family, and to them, they are all outsiders. If something gets out, it will be bad, and it will affect the reputation of both families.
Everyone heard it and felt sorry, because they were just talking.
You can’t go out whenever you want at home, let alone in the countryside. You can imagine that you won’t be allowed.
……
The elderly drank the old man's tea, the middle-aged drank the wine Zhou Guo brought back from the capital, and Li discussed clothes and jewelry with the ladies.
She sighed as she watched the new people appearing in her house every day, not knowing when it would end.
Old Master Zhao said, "Isn't this a good thing? I usually want to make friends with these people but I can't find the opportunity. If I make more friends with them, my business will be smoother in the future."
Zhou Guo said, "Come on, if I get down and out someday, will they come? They want to spit on me, and what friends are they talking about? What kind of friends can they be if they come to me at this time?"
What he said made sense, and Old Master Zhao couldn't even refute it.
After a while, he had no choice but to continue, "I'm not asking you to make friends with them, I'm just trying to get to know them. It's always good to know more people. You never know when you need help from them. There's no harm in talking to them. It won't cost you anything. What do you think?"
Zhou Guo nodded. So, she had been patiently entertaining guests these days, otherwise she would have left long ago.
Two days later, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and said to her family, "Mom, Master, brothers, I have to go out tomorrow. I have to go to Song County and other prefectures. After the autumn harvest, I have to arrange the rest of the work."
