Chapter 418 Different Cuju
"Zhou Guo gave it to us. Each of our families has two big bowls. Mom, two big bowls are enough. We can eat it for several meals."
"Hurry up, I've been hungry all morning. Your grandfather has not allowed us to eat because he is waiting for your snails. Bring them to the table and we can eat now."
The elderly in the family eat first.
Trembling, he carefully picked one up and put it in his mouth. His cloudy eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious, it's delicious. That old man didn't lie to me. He really got a good deal this time. Eat it quickly, eat it all. It's delicious!"
Everyone stretched out their chopsticks and finally ate the legendary delicious snails. Whether they tasted good or not was secondary. The main thing was that the villagers had been talking about them for too long, and eating such snails had become an obsession. This obsession was finally satisfied, and they were so happy that they couldn't even taste the flavor.
Zhou Guo's popularity in the village reached an unprecedented high for a time. Children of all ages came to their house every day. They would help with chores when they had nothing to do, or help Zhou Suli and others take the cattle and horses out to graze. In any case, they would play with her for a while, talk to her for a few words, and then leave satisfied.
Girls of the same age, or one or two years older than her, came with needles and thread, insoles, soles, uppers, clothes to mend, and those from better-off families even brought handkerchiefs...
Everyone in the Zhou family was very happy, especially Mrs. Li.
Before last year, this child was always ignorant and could only play with her brothers and sisters at home every day. But even Xiao Taozi has several good friends in the village. Now that so many little girls come to play with her, she is happier than anything else.
I took out all the treasured peanuts and melon seeds at home and let them eat them.
Zhou Guo didn't have the leisure to play with the little girls, but since they came, she couldn't chase them away. She could only chat with them while she was busy. Most of the time, she let them play or do needlework on their own.
The girls were also happy to relax, and it was fun to do needlework together.
As time passed, the walls of each house were slowly built up, the beams were placed, the tiles were covered, the kangs were laid, the floors were paved, and the courtyard walls were raised little by little.
Bricks, tiles and wood were dragged back in carts, and the villagers were envious. "I wonder when we can build a house like that. Damn, it's really weird. How can these people be so rich that they can build a house with blue bricks and tiles?!"
Yes, their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they have tried hard for several lifetimes but have not been able to build even one or two brick and tile houses. But these people, they built so many houses as soon as they arrived!
I don't know how I ended up escaping to wealth? !
"Oh, you know what? I heard them say that they took the wrong road on the way north and came across a large field of precious fruits. They were blessed and each family got some from the fruits. That's how they built their houses. Their lives were much worse than ours. Every year, they had nothing left after paying taxes. Even though they fled because of the war, I think they will be forced to flee soon, or they will starve to death!"
No matter what the villagers talked about privately, the new house that everyone had dreamed of was slowly being built.
Among so many families, Sanyuan's family was the slowest. Ever since they ate snails last time, Sanyuan's wife simply quit the Zhou family and cooked at home every day. No one knew what she did, but everyone complained. The food was bad and they had no energy, so the work naturally slowed down.
When Sanyuan's wife saw how this was going to work, she realized that they were all building it together. Others had already put up the roof frame and were just laying the tiles, but they were still building the wall. She immediately yelled at them to speed up, otherwise she would have to replace them. Thirty cents a day for wages could not be given in vain. How could they just want to get paid without working? There was no such thing as a good deal in the world.
There was no other way. Everyone was so ashamed of being scolded that they had to work faster on an empty stomach. Fortunately, their families sent them some food from time to time, otherwise it would have been really miserable.
But in this way, many details cannot be taken care of and are not as meticulous as before.
Sanyuan's wife didn't understand any of this. When she saw that they had caught up, she nodded with satisfaction and said proudly, "That's what I said. We all have a pair of hands and feet, so why are you slower than others? Aren't you catching up quickly now?"
Zhou Sanyuan has already given up, because he is a henpecked man.
Zhou Guo has the largest family, but because they have high demands, the progress is slow.
They eat well every day, with snacks and tea, and get paid so much, but the work is so slow, much slower than other families. I feel a little guilty about it. If people who don't know me talk about it, they might think they are deliberately cheating me of food, drinks and money.
Come the earliest and leave the latest every day.
Zhou Guo watched the yard gradually take shape and many ideas came to his mind. He wanted to plant a fruit tree here, flowers there, and also dig a small pond to raise a few fish in it and plant some lotus. It would be a small ornamental pond.
During this period, more and more children from the village came to see her, bringing shrimps and small fish every day, but no one caught snails because everyone knew that they required a lot of seasoning.
Zhou Guo set up a small stove nearby and grilled some food for them. As time went by, more and more people came.
These children, both big and small, liked to come to their house whenever they had nothing to do after work. Zhou Guo saw that they were bored, so he made a ball that was neither round nor square, and was ugly, out of willow branches.
To teach them how to play football, although the field is not that big, it is enough for them.
The children in the village were having fun this time. Apart from hide-and-seek and war games, which they were tired of playing before, where else could they find a game that could gather so many people together to play?
Everyone was scrambling for the ugly ball on the ground, and whoever kicked it into the goal first would win.
They like to come here to play in the first place, and now they won’t go back until they have dinner.
The old man watched from the side and said with a smile: "Although this Cuju is a little different, it is just as fun to watch."
Some are eager to try it out.
Zhou Guo said: "If you want to play, try next time. But I don't think any goalkeeper can stop you."
The old man glanced at her and said, "Since others can't stop me, you go up and guard me."
……
"come on, come on, come on!!!"
"Hey!!! She didn't get in again, old man, are you letting her win on purpose? Don't be softhearted just because she's your disciple. Kick her!"
Zhou Guo smiled proudly while holding the ball. They were all rookies, so isn’t it easy to guard the goal?
The old man had a hard time speaking. He glanced at the boy who was shouting the loudest at the side and said, "You come!"
Substitution.
The original score between the two teams was 5 to 2, but after Zhou Guo came on the court, the score was tied, which made the opponent anxious.
