Chapter 1025 I want to live a free life
Zhou Guo went forward and hugged her arm, comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay. I listened to you and didn't go to the front line. When I went there, the battle was over and the land had been divided. The front-line army stationed there was still a hundred miles away, so there was no danger."
As he spoke, he kept touching her chest, really worried that she would get angry and get hurt.
Others also gathered around, constantly comforting her, "Mom, it's okay, isn't Guoguo back safely?"
"Yes, Second Aunt, the place she went to is not the front line. The army is stationed in the front, and the back is the safest. The Xu family army is so powerful, who dares to rush in?"
"That's right, we are sure to succeed."
Everyone was talking at once, and Zhou Guo also kept saying good things.
Li's anger was finally calmed down bit by bit. After a long while, she pointed at Zhou Guo and said, "I told you a long time ago that you can go out alone, and I can't stop you, but you can't go to dangerous places. You are not alone, you have such a big family behind you. If something happens to you, how can I face your grandparents in the underworld in the future?"
This is the Zhou family's gold nugget, and she can't even take good care of it.
Zhou Guo put away the smile on his face and nodded seriously, "Mom, I know, I promise you, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never put myself in danger."
Everyone tried to smooth things over, "Look, Guoguo has said so, and she will definitely do it. Her words always count."
Li snorted, "He's calculating to others, but he's always being cunning to his mother."
Zhou Guo chuckled, "How could that be? I brought you a lot of good things from the south this time, including some dried bamboo shoots. Don't you like eating them the most? These were dug and dried by my master and I. There is also a whole ham. There are quite a few delicious things."
That was just some food. As for cloth and other things, the carriage was too small to hold them all.
Moreover, she looked around but didn't see anything good. She might go and have a look next time she goes to Jiangnan.
Maybe you can find a lot of good stuff.
Wu Ya shouted, "Really? Dried bamboo shoots, and ham, then can we eat that ham and bamboo shoot soup again? I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can barely find ham in the north, but bamboo shoots are very hard to find."
Everyone nodded, their eyes sparkling, and they all wanted to eat this dish. It was so delicious!
With this interruption, Li's anger completely disappeared, and she helplessly watched these people discussing how to eat the ham.
Dashu said with a stern look, "Madam, Master, Madam, Miss, the specialties that the master brought back are in the house. Shall we go in and take a look?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look. I haven't been to the south for a few years. I really miss the food there. It's very different from the food in the north."
They all went there in a rush.
Even Xiaohua followed happily behind.
Only Li, Zhou Guo and the old man were left there. The old man glanced at the two of them, then stood up and left.
Zhou Guo looked at his back with resentment. This was too disloyal. Couldn't he just say something good about her?
She looked at Li, touched her nose, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's really okay. I asked before I went there. The army is advancing like a hot knife through butter. There is no opponent in that area. They captured more than a dozen counties along the way without bloodshed. There is no danger at all."
Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Mother doesn't mean to lose her temper, but I feel bad for you. You are still so young, still a girl, and you have to run around outside all day long. Look at you in the past few months. You haven't eaten well or slept well. You have lost a lot of weight. You are as thin as a refugee."
Zhou Guo touched his face and said, "No, right? I eat a lot. I have meat at every meal. Most of the delicious food goes into my stomach."
In fact, she felt quite happy outside and didn't feel tired at all. Even if she was in a hurry, the various scenery along the way could eliminate most of her fatigue.
So he said to Li: "Mom, I really like running outside. I don't want to be like my elder sister, trapped in the backyard or at home all my life.
I want to run outside, see the endless plains, the towering mountains, the rivers, the lakes and the sea of clouds.
I want to ride a horse and run freely along the road every spring day, go up the mountain to dig ginseng, go down the river to fish, go into the forest to hunt, as long as the horse can go, I can go anywhere, free and unrestrained, that is the life I want to live. "
Having lived two lifetimes, she couldn't imagine the feeling of being trapped in a small piece of land in the backyard for her entire life, unable to go anywhere and not allowed to go anywhere.
"I hope that in my life I can do whatever I want and not do what I don't want to do. If I want to go to the grassland, I can go there immediately. If I want to go to Jiangnan, I can go there in the blink of an eye."
Li was stunned for a long while before she said, "How can you live like this? You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. Only high-ranking officials can have such ability, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Guo and said, "You want to be a high-ranking official? But high-ranking officials can't go wherever they want, right? Just look at your uncle. He wants to stop fighting, but he can't leave even if he wants to come back for the New Year."
Zhou Guo said: "I just said that. I mean I don't want to be trapped in the backyard. Even if I can't do what I said, I also want to be like others, able to go wherever I want, instead of having no possibility in my whole life.
Look at my eldest sister. She has Yuan Ge'er and Cheng Ge'er, and she's in charge of the household. She's living a very good life, but isn't she just hanging around in the backyard every day? Mother, I can't get used to this kind of life. I'm not cut out for it."
Mrs. Li finally understood what was going on and rolled her eyes at her. "You've said so much, but you just don't want to get married. Do you think I can't hear that? Are you telling me first?"
Zhou Guo smiled and didn't deny it, which could be considered as a preventive measure.
Li sighed deeply, turned around and looked at the family in the room, and said, "I don't know what sin I committed to end up with such a big family!
No matter big or small, none of you want to get married. The very mention of marriage is like asking for your life. Why is it so difficult to get married and have children?
Look at me, your mother, I'm married, I have your children, I've escaped from the devil's den, and now I'm living a good life that many people envy. Isn't this a good life?"
"Okay, okay, of course your life is great." Zhou Guo nodded, "But mother, for me, I can't find like-minded people. I just want to live freely in this life, and I have the ability to do so. I can make myself live a good life, but if I get married, it will be a different story. I will be controlled by my parents-in-law, have to look at my husband's face, and may even have to endure the anger of my sister-in-law.
You know my temper. I will never tolerate any injustice. If anyone makes me angry, my whole family will have a hard time. This is not marriage, but enmity between two families."
