Chapter 1230: Growing Up Year by Year
When she got home, she started packing her things. As the young man said, she had to hurry up.
Li saw her coming back and went into the house. She saw that more than a dozen boxes and crates were opened and the bed was covered with clothes. "What are you doing? Didn't you go to see the old headman?"
Zhou Guo sighed, "Mom, my husband is probably not doing well. I don't know if we can have the New Year's Eve dinner yet."
Li said solemnly, "Who says it's not true? He's old. He spent so much energy fleeing. He couldn't do it in the early years. We all know why he can hold on until now."
Zhou Guo said: "I know, I will leave tomorrow, and when I come back next year, I will give this important matter to you."
She had actually been able to do this for a long time.
There are no more wars in the south this year, and the situation along the way where they fled has also been stable, but they have not been able to spare any time. Next year, when the world is stable, she will call her uncle to come along, and he will have to follow in this matter.
Li nodded. "That's good. Otherwise, every time we go to see him, it would be hard for everyone to see him struggling so hard."
Immediately help, "I'll help you pack your things. What are you looking for? This year your sister made you a sable long gown, very elegant, you will definitely like it, take that with you, and these cloaks, all newly made, the materials were sent by Hu Zi, it is said to be the best in the cloth shop..."
Zhou Guo looked at the black sable and silver mink. They were beautiful, but he said, "Mom, it's not that cold in the south. We don't need to wear mink. These cloaks are enough."
Li took out all the things without saying anything, "You have to listen to your mother about this matter. When you go out, you can make do with everything except food, clothing and shelter. You are on the road all day long. If you don't wear thicker clothes in the winter, catching a cold is no small matter! It's better to wear thicker clothes than to get sick. There are so many people around you, and you don't have to move the things by yourself, what are you afraid of? Take it with you, take it all."
He took them all with him, and finally packed out four or five boxes, which were full of clothes.
Zhou Guo looked at the five boxes and said helplessly, "Mom, we are traveling light, how can we carry these five boxes?"
Li said, "Don't you have a carriage? That carriage cost so much money and was pulled by two war horses, but it can't even pull such a small box? Take the carriage with you and let these two girls take care of your food, drink, and toilet. I will be relieved if you don't come back for two years."
The two girls at the side were about fifteen or sixteen years old, a little dark, but they were neatly dressed and did things efficiently without any procrastination.
Although I have been serving her all these days, I haven't said much. Compared with the Great Heat and Lesser Heat, I talk much less.
She is very quiet and content.
After hearing what her mother said, "Okay, just take it with you."
Li smiled widely, turned around and asked someone to bring three small boxes from the kitchen, saying, "These are the food prepared for you. There isn't much, so don't share them with others. You're traveling with more than a hundred people, and this amount isn't enough for one meal. Keep it for yourself, they're all from home."
She was worried that Zhou Guo didn't eat well outside. When he came back this time, his face looked thinner. This child would not tell his family about anything that happened outside. She didn't know, so she could only make more preparations for these little things.
When Zhou Guo opened it, he saw that it was packed so full that even a needle could not be inserted. There were all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
Li said, "I cut half of the hundred-year-old ginseng at home and put it in there. You can take it with you."
Zhou Guo said, "Why do you take that with you? The world is vast and the sky is high. As long as you have money, you can buy anything. You should keep this thing at home in case of emergency."
As he spoke, he bent down to look for it.
The old man said, "Just take it with you. Don't we have half a root left at home? Besides this, there are still many ginsengs. Sailing is very dangerous. If you take it with you, it can save your life when the time comes."
The fifty-year-old ginseng was given to Zhou Dacang. The hundred-year-old ginseng was huge, and even if it was cut in half it would not be small at all, as it would be enough to even contain the roots.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to take it with him.
The family sent them to the village entrance.
Everyone in the village came to see him off. More and more people gathered, and when they reached the village entrance, they wanted to see him off for several miles.
Zhou Guo said, "Okay, mother, just send me here. No matter how far you send me, I will be leaving soon. You will have to walk such a long way back."
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's grown-up face and felt a little emotional. She sent her daughter away year after year, and her daughter grew up quietly and changed year after year. As a mother, she never saw how she grew up.
Perhaps it is better than getting married early. At least the child is still by her side, living happier than anyone else and more capable than anyone else. She cannot keep a child like this by her side.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, go ahead, we'll wait for you at home."
I didn’t cry this time, I sent it off with a smile.
Zhou Guo was stunned and looked at her family. Everyone was smiling and only told her to take good care of herself outside and not to worry about home. That was all she said.
When she went out last year, no one's face was like this, but her mother's eyes were red. Why is it like this this year?
But this is the best way. Everyone will see her off with a smile. She will feel more at ease and leave happily.
She smiled and said, "Okay, when I finish my work, I will take my uncle home with me."
Zhou Dacang hasn't been home for many years. Zhou Guo can only see him once a year, but they haven't seen each other for many years.
Zhou Mai and the others missed him very much, and were very happy to hear this.
The villagers were also happy, "That's great! When the general comes back, we will definitely go out ten miles to welcome him and see how majestic he is now."
Zhou Dacang was a general a few years ago, and he must have been promoted again in the past few years. Such a high-ranking official has never appeared in a hundred years, not only in their small mountain village, but also in the entire county. He is definitely a big shot.
Zhou Guo left with the laughter and farewell of his family and the whole village.
The familiar scenes along the way fade away little by little. I’m afraid it will be very different next time I come back.
The escort agency in the north is now managed by Mo Da and Mo Er. She is going to take a thousand people with her when she goes south this time. All of them are retired soldiers from the Xu family army. She is going to take them with her because the trade route to the south will be opened soon, so she needs to get familiar with it.
She led more than a thousand people south in a grand manner. Ordinary people tried to stay as far away from them as possible, but there were those who were looking for trouble and would come to them if they didn't believe in evil.
She had killed so many remnants of the evil forces in Huguang, and the remaining ones would occasionally rush into the flames like moths to a flame.
At this critical juncture, she showed no mercy. Since these people dared to come, they must have made sufficient preparations.
"Come on, I'll kill each one as they come, and slowly I'll kill them all."
The place she was going to this time was Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice.
In fact, at this time, people in the north have already started wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, but in the south of the Yangtze River, people can still wear linens.
