Chapter 532: Fell Asleep While Eating



Chapter 532: Fell Asleep While Eating

Although they bought a lot in the city, she also had a big appetite, and she hardly rested on the way. She ate when she was tired, hungry, and bored. She never stopped eating all the way. Now there were only some sweet and greasy snacks left, and they were left because neither of them liked them.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry. I'll sleep better after eating." Zhou Gule laughed and got on the kang.

Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi are here too.

The few of them looked at the snacks on the table without disliking them. Although their family's life was better now, they had a deep memory of the days when they were hungry all day long in previous years.

I also like snacks.

At this time everyone was asleep, and they were the only ones left who were still awake. The remaining things were enough for them to eat.

Moreover, Li and Zhou Xing also took out a fish from the pot, a plate of fried shrimps, and a bowl of fried komatsuna and put them on the table, and brought a basket of steamed buns. The whole family sat on the kang and enjoyed their midnight snack happily.

Zhou Guo wasn't actually that hungry, but if he was still hungry after eating all the way, he would start to wonder if his stomach was broken.

I took a pair of chopsticks and a bowl to pick up some vegetables to eat, ate a piece of fish with a chopstick, and peeled a shrimp. The shrimp was dry, so it wasn't as tender as a fresh one, but it was also delicious.

While eating, he told them about the men he met on the road who had escaped from the battlefield.

Mrs. Li sighed after hearing this, "I didn't expect the south to be so chaotic. Fortunately, we left at that time. Otherwise, we don't know how difficult life would be for this family. I'm afraid the whole family would have to separate."

In times of war, it is ordinary people like them who suffer the most.

Zhou Xing worriedly said, "Since fighting has broken out everywhere in the south, will they come to the north? If they do, won't we have to flee again? If we want to flee, where should we flee to?"

"Yes, where should we escape to?" Li was at a loss. It was the head of the village and the scholar who decided to flee to the north. Now it was their turn to make the decision. They didn't know where to go. Should they go to the emperor's feet?

Zhou Mai said: "The Northland has the most important pass in the world. It is the most dangerous and important pass to stop the Hu people from going south. If the Hu people are allowed to cross such a dangerous pass, the subsequent battles will be difficult to fight. It will only take a day for them to cross the Northland and march into the Central Plains. Even we can think of such consequences, and those adults and princes will not fail to think of it. Therefore, the Northland should still be stable. Since everyone wants to be the master of this world, no one should dare to go against the people of the world, right?"

Zhou Mi nodded, "So we don't have to be afraid, just live our lives honestly."

Zhou Guo was impressed by the two men. He didn't expect that they could talk about current affairs so well after only one year of school. He couldn't help but give them a thumbs up and said, "Second brother, third brother, you said it very well. You are really amazing!"

Zhou Xing and Li also praised it.

Zhou Gu said happily: "Fortunately, there are still a few smart people in our family. If everyone was like me, I'm afraid there would be no hope. Although I don't understand much of what you said, I also think it's very impressive!"

Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Zhou Mai said seriously: "Brother, you are also very capable, don't underestimate yourself, you can go out and negotiate business with the restaurant by yourself, you are much more capable than us, we just listen to what the master says, and we will remember it naturally after hearing it more."

Zhou Mi also said: "Yes, big brother, now you can recognize a lot of words. You know what we know, and you also know what we don't know. You are better than us."

Zhou Gu rubbed his head and chuckled, "How can I be that powerful?"

He didn't think he was very capable. There was Zhou Guo out there. If Zhou Su was not so young, he would be more capable than him.

There are Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi in the family, and at worst there is Zhou Xing, who is much better than him in recognizing words. It seems that he cannot compare with his younger brothers and sisters in any aspect.

Fortunately, he has a good mentality. He thinks that he is the best among his younger brothers and sisters, and he is very proud of it. Otherwise, this mentality would easily lead to problems.

Seeing the brothers and sisters praising each other, Mrs. Li smiled with satisfaction. Although Zhou Gu was not smarter than other children in the family, he was down-to-earth and steady. He cared for and loved every one of his brothers and sisters, and his brothers and sisters also respected him. This family always looked like a home.

After talking for a long time, the food was all gone.

After not hearing Zhou Guo speak for a long time, everyone turned to look.

I saw her holding a half-eaten shrimp in her hand, with her head lowered, and I don't know when she fell asleep.

Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt a little distressed, "How come he fell asleep while eating? He must be too tired."

Zhou Xing whispered, "We've been driving for a whole day, and we only took two short breaks along the way. Let the horse eat grass and drink water to rest. It must be tired. Don't bother her."

Zhou Gu said, "I'll carry her into the house."

Knowing that she was at home, Zhou Guo fell asleep peacefully. She slept very deeply that night, and Zhou Gu didn't even wake her up when he put her on the bed.

The next day, before Zhou Guogong had finished practicing, Wu Jiang arrived.

She held a gun and played with it in a flashing manner, blocking, stabbing, hitting, picking, blocking and closing. Her marksmanship dazzled the people who watched.

The old man was drinking tea leisurely, enjoying himself with his eyes closed.

In the yard, Li and Zhou Xing were already preparing breakfast.

Zhou Gu and the others were also busy with their own things.

Only Xu, Zhou Suli and others squatted on the side, watching Zhou Guo practice with their chins supported, their eyes full of stars, and when he practiced martial arts to the extreme, their hands were clapping so hard that they seemed to catch fire.

Wu Jiang was shocked to see this scene. He watched Zhou Guo twist his waist and leap, grabbing the gun and slamming it hard on the ground. With a snap, it seemed that even the ground shook. If this had hit a person...

He shivered and touched his arm, which seemed a little cold.

I have always known that my boss is strong and knows some boxing and kicking, but I never knew he is so powerful. It seems that what Wang Fugui said is true.

Zhou Guo practiced with the gun and broke into a sweat.

The old man opened his eyes and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. This spear technique is not perfect, but it is much better than that of ordinary people. Even if you fight against someone who has practiced for eight or nine years, you may not lose."

Zhou Guo wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Of course, don't you see whose disciple I am? How can ordinary people be my opponent?"

After wiping the sweat off his face, he walked towards Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang immediately came forward happily, "Boss, you're back?"

Zhou Guo nodded. "Did anything happen in the mountains during the two days I was away?"

Wu Jiang said: "No, with the madam and the young masters watching over us, we are all very well behaved and things are going smoothly."

Zhou Guo walked out and said, "I called you here this time to share the things I bought yesterday."

When I walked outside the courtyard, I didn't see anyone. "You came here alone?"
