Chapter 468 Hired a group of children?
The old man narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard because of the praise. He thought to himself that no wonder everyone likes to listen to flattery. It really makes people feel happy when they hear it. The whole person feels like floating in the air.
After dinner, the family started making pancakes at home.
She had promised to provide them with meals, including enough bread and steamed buns. Anyway, there was enough food this year. If it was not enough, they could just buy some food. If that didn't work, they could find some land next year.
But I also know that vacant land is extremely difficult to find, and few people are selling land. Even if there are people who are selling it, it is hard to come by unless the family has encountered some changes. Otherwise, who would easily sell land in this day and age?
No one is willing to sell land easily in any year!
After dark, Zhou Guo and his friends took a shower and fell asleep on the bed.
They were woken up one by one in the middle of the night, ate some food, and loaded all the flatbreads and steamed buns into the car with baskets.
The mushrooms in the yard were loaded onto the carts one by one. There were six carts in total. In addition to the two carts at home, the one for Zhou Cheng's family and Wang Fugui's family, the Qian family next door heard that they needed a cart and sent a ox cart. Two other families also sent carts, but they only wanted six carts, so the ones from the other families were not taken.
Outside the yard, ox carts and horse carriages formed a long convoy, which looked quite spectacular.
Li couldn't help but nodded and said, "It looks like he is going to do something big!"
When she thought that this was all caused by her daughter, she felt even more proud. She had been beaten and scolded since she was a child, and had been hungry, cold and humiliated all the time. She was not a person who could do big things in her heart. Even if she had an idea, she didn't dare to do it. Fortunately, her daughter was not like her. She dared to do things and was better than her at a young age.
Qian couldn't help but say, "I've never seen so many trucks carrying so much goods at once. They really look like big businessmen. It's really amazing."
After saying that, he saw Zhou Gu busying around, checking if there was anything wrong with the car, Zhou Xing silently counting the baskets, Zhou Su following closely behind Zhou Guo, and Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi. These two had been in school for more than half a year, and their whole demeanor seemed to have changed a lot.
He said sincerely, "It's not just Zhou Guo. If you pull your children out, every one of them can do ten things. I don't know how they were raised. By the way, Zhou Xing can actually read. When we see her sitting at the table with a pen and paper writing something, she looks like a little teacher. When we talk about it, everyone gives her a thumbs up. Now, when we see her, we don't even dare to say anything to her."
Li smiled and said, "They learned it from Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi. Every day after school, they would teach them a few characters. After a while, they learned to recognize a few. Don't be fooled by the fact that they all hold paper and pen and seem to be able to write like the real characters. Their handwriting is unreadable. They can barely write like the real characters."
Qian said, "This is already amazing. Families like us have been digging for food in the fields for several lifetimes. How can we learn to read? Everyone in your family can actually read. Maybe in the near future, you will be different from families like us."
Li waved her hands and said, "It's just knowing a few words. What's the difference? Knowing a few words is not the same as digging for food in the fields. It's nothing great."
In less than half an hour, all the pine mushrooms were on the car, tied up and ready to set off at any time.
Those who went this time included Zhou Gu, Zhou Su, Wang Fugui and his eldest son, Zhou Cheng, and his brother Zhou Shan.
Zhou Guo pointed at the three cars in front and said, "Master, you are the three in front, and I am the three in the back."
The old man nodded, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
Several cars started to start.
Zhou Guo was guarding the three cars at the back, waved to Li, Zhou Xing and others, and set off under the cover of night.
Li watched the convoy disappear into the night, and for some reason, she almost burst into tears. It was the late night and everyone in the village was sleeping soundly, but their two children who were not even ten years old and an old man with white hair and beard had to get up and work.
The convoy drove to Longpan Bay, where Wu Jiang and his brothers were already waiting.
When about twenty people saw the convoy, they surrounded it with joy.
Wang Fugui and Zhou Cheng were so scared that they thought they had encountered refugees who were robbing people again. They felt unlucky and cried out that they had run into trouble not long after leaving the village.
He shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, grab your weapons!"
There were big knives hidden under the cars, and they were asked to take the big knives and axes from each family. With a few swipes, the weapons were in their hands.
Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "We are one family, uncle, we are one family."
When they heard that they were their own people, several people put down their weapons in disbelief, "Where are these our own people? Who are these people?"
Zhou Guo said: "These are the people I told you about who were hired and paid for."
Wu Jiang and his group rushed forward and shouted happily, "Young Master!"
Zhou Guo nodded, "We will divide into two teams this time. You can divide your people into two groups. One group will follow the old man to Yunzhou, and the other group will follow me to Chengding. The group going to Yunzhou needs to select good people. You must be prepared. Yunzhou is not peaceful outside, and there may be a fierce battle!"
Wu Jiang nodded and said, "I know. The people have been divided. Second brother, you follow the young master to Chengding, and I will follow the old man to Yunzhou. Be alert on the way!"
The one called the second one said yes loudly, and said loudly: "Follow me."
Some people in the team rushed to the back.
Wang Fugui and the others were so dumbfounded that their mouths could fit an egg. They couldn't help but touch Zhou Gu and Zhou Su who were also dumbfounded, "Is this the person from your family who came here to look for you?"
The two shook their heads.
Zhou Gu said admiringly: "I don't know when he found it, but it looks very powerful."
Zhou Su couldn't help but nodded, what a majestic person!
It was difficult to see clearly in the dark, but I saw a group of people rushing to Zhou Guo, calling him "Young Master" in unison. Wang Fugui and others had never seen such a scene before.
After being stunned for a while, he said happily: "That's good. With these people, we don't have to be afraid anymore."
He looked at Zhou Guo and said, "If you are really good, where did you hire so many people? It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Zhou Guo looked at their overjoyed expressions and poured cold water on them, "Uncle, there are only about twenty people. The two teams split, and there are only about ten people left on each side. Moreover, it was dark, so you may not have seen clearly. Most of them are teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, and there are only two or three in their twenties, hehe~~"
The last two haha really made Wang Fugui and the others feel cold in their hearts. After a while, they said, "No, didn't you hire people specifically? There are so many people that can't be hired. What's the point of hiring a bunch of half-grown children? How can they beat those crazy adults?"
