Chapter 351 I’m Not a Godfather Anymore



Chapter 351 I’m Not a Godfather Anymore

Everyone was silent. They didn't say anything on weekdays, but they were thinking about it in their hearts. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, even Zhou Gu couldn't help but shed a few tears when he woke up from his dream.

That’s dad, the dad who loved them so much since they were young!

In their hearts, their father is irreplaceable. Now someone wants to be their father, even if it's just for show, everyone feels bad. They don't even know whether their father is alive or dead, and someone else is going to be their sister's father.

Li looked at everyone's reactions and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

The person involved, Zhou Guo, finished three bowls of rice in one breath and drank tea with satisfaction.

No matter what, eating is the most important thing in the world. Even if the sky falls, we still have to eat.

After taking a sip of tea, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his brothers and sisters looking so sad and frustrated, "I think what my uncle said is right. There's nothing wrong with having a godfather."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at her, all a little sad, "Guoguo, you, you don't want your father anymore, you won't wait for him anymore?"

Zhou Guo held up the teacup and drank it all. "How could I not acknowledge my father? No matter if I acknowledge him as my godfather or not, he is still my father. Besides, maybe after I acknowledge him as my godfather, our father will come back."

Everyone laughed and cried, "You must have been so drunk from eating that I can't understand what you said. What does your recognition of your godfather have to do with whether your father comes back or not?"

"That's right. Why would they come back just because you acknowledged them as your godfather? Would they come back sadly?"

Zhou Guo said: "Think about it, if I recognize a godfather, having more godfathers might bring good luck to my father."

After saying that, he looked at Li and said, "Mom, there is a story where a couple is destined to have no children, so they adopt a child from somewhere else and raise them. After a few years, the couple has their own children. This is all good luck brought by the adopted child. So, I think these godfathers may also bring good luck to Dad."

The old man almost spit out his tea. How could he give such an example?

However, everyone lowered their heads in thought after hearing this, and even Zhou Dacang frowned his thick eyebrows.

Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How could this be possible? I don't know what you are thinking in your little head. I think we should forget about this matter. They want to adopt you as their goddaughter because they like you. But we are a little sorry for them because of such a ridiculous reason. We should not mention this matter again."

Everyone nodded.

Zhou Guo felt a little regretful. She thought this was a very good excuse. She liked those uncles very much. They were cheerful, generous and loyal. If she recognized them as her godfathers, her biological father would come back. Wouldn't this be a win-win situation?

Unfortunately, this matter is not hers to decide. Never mind, my uncles are also good.

The next day, when the old blacks heard the reason, they knew that the girl's biological father was still alive and that the father's consent was needed to recognize her as a godparent. They waved their hands and said with a chuckle, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. Even if we can't recognize her as a godparent, this girl is still our niece. If she gets married tomorrow, we uncles will all give her a dowry."

Old Zheng and Ren Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will specify it."

Getting married?

Zhou Guo pondered, unable to imagine what her future husband would be like in such a world.

Li smiled and said, "It will be a great joy if everyone can come and have a drink at the wedding. How can I dare to ask everyone to spend money?"

Lao Hei said, "Hey, that's not right. I came all the way here to attend the wedding, so what does a dowry count for? Guoguo girl, I, your Uncle Hei, will no longer be your godfather. You can just call me Uncle Hei from now on."

Zhou Guo shouted with a grin, "Uncle Hei!"

Lao Hei was so happy that his face was wrinkled with laughter. It was obvious that he really liked her.

Lao Zheng and Ren Liu were not willing to be left behind, one wanted to call him Uncle Zheng and the other wanted to call him Uncle Liu.

Zhou Guo called out one by one, and everyone laughed happily. The Zhou family was also very happy. With this relationship, when the uncle went to the military camp in the future, the relationship among them would probably be better, and they would be able to take care of each other.

After recognizing the people, Zhou Guo asked them to come to his house for three meals a day. Although the other officers and soldiers could not afford it, they could afford it for these three. "You will not stay here for a few days. Come to my house for dinner these days. Although there is nothing else, I can still catch rabbits in the mountains."

The old blacks laughed and stroked her hairy little head and said, "You are not needed for hunting. Just wait. Your uncle Zheng and your uncle Liu are good hunters. We will go into the mountains in the morning and bring you a few deer at noon. We will roast fresh deer meat in the yard tonight."

Zhou Dacang showed them the way and said, "You go ahead. I'll stay in the village. If the Hu people come, we won't be left alone."

The two lookout towers finally belonged to them. Their people took turns guarding them all day long, changing shifts every two hours. They could not leave their posts unattended. In order to prevent emergencies, several of their leaders had to be there as well.

The other guys were looking forward to it. It had been a long time since they had such a good hunt. It would be best if someone could watch over them.

Zhou Guo stood up and said, "I'll go with you. The mountains here are huge, one after another. If you don't have someone to lead the way, it will take a while for you to get out."

Old Zheng said, "If others can't get out, why can't we get out too? For those who have been marching and fighting for years, the first thing they do is to find their way. You are a young lady, so just stay at home. Tell me what kind of meat you want to eat, and I, your uncle Zheng, will hunt it for you."

Zhou Guo thought about it and it made sense. They may not know how to march and fight, but they should know how to recognize the road. A small forest would not be a problem for them. He smiled and said, "I have eaten all kinds of meat. Uncles, you can hunt whatever you want to eat."

Several people rode on their horses and took their bows and arrows and hurried into the mountains.

While some people were hunting, the old man was happy and relaxed. He lay leisurely on the kang and drank tea. From time to time, he stood up and walked around the river outside to prevent himself from getting moldy.

Zhou Guo thought that they might leave in a few days, so he rode his horse to the town and bought a lot of things.

When everyone saw her carrying a lot of bags and things into the house, they were surprised and asked, "What are these? Where have you been?"

Zhou Guo said without even looking up, "Mom, my uncle and his family can't stay at home for a few days. They will leave in two days. They can't just eat dry food in this icy and snowy place. I'll make some dried meat for them to take away so they can eat it anytime."

Zhou Gu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right. I saw that their dry food was all hard bread. I tried to take a bite and my teeth almost broke. It was harder than jerky, cold and hard."

Zhou Mai said: "Then let's do it together, make more, and give some to those uncles on the road."

Those people no longer considered Guoguo's father, and he returned to being the elegant young man he used to be.
