Chapter 345 Making wedding clothes for others
Yes, the family looked at Zhou Dacang. For more than 40 people, it was okay to provide one or two meals, but it seemed that their family could not afford to provide them with food if they had to stay here for five or six days!
Zhou Da Cang shook his head and said, "No, we brought dry food with us. If it doesn't work, we can buy from the villagers. We have an iron rule that no one is allowed to disturb the villagers or take their things. Those who violate the order will be beheaded."
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows, he really wanted to meet this general.
Li said, "Even so, they are all your... comrades-in-arms. You live in the same barracks, and sometimes you have to rely on them to save your life on the battlefield. It's a matter of life and death, so you can't treat them lightly. I think you have been out there for so long, eating dry food. Let them come to your house for dinner tonight. We're slaughtering pigs today!"
When they heard that the pig was really going to be slaughtered, everyone cheered. Although they were a little reluctant, the pig was such a glutton. If it continued to eat like this, they would have nothing to feed it. They had prepared rations in the autumn, but they didn't expect it to eat much more than before. The little they had prepared was about to be eaten up, and the subsequent wheat bran had not been pounded out yet.
Zhou Gu stood up and said, "I'll go call Uncle Fugui. He brought his pig-killing tools with him when he fled. I'll go call him."
Zhou Mi stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Li called them and said, "You can also call the other families and ask them to come and eat the pig-killing dinner tonight."
Zhou Guo said, "Mom, you should also call Aunt Chen and the others. They have helped us a lot since we came here. And the head of the village, call the head of the village too. Call all the families who have helped our family."
It's an invitation to a few families, it's also an invitation to a group.
Li nodded, "Yes, we have to call. With so many people, we need to ask for help. We also have to borrow tables, chairs, pots, pans, and bowls from the village."
Zhou Guo said: "My uncle and I will go to borrow something and treat them to a meal. You guys prepare it at home."
Li nodded. In fact, what dishes could a farmer prepare? It was winter and everything was withered. There were only pickled vegetables at home, radishes and cabbages stored in the cellar, and pine mushrooms dried in autumn. These were the most they had and they couldn't make much money from selling them. It would be more cost-effective to invite people to eat.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang first went to the place where dozens of them were stationed, at the entrance of the village.
Along the way, she passed by the place where a great battle took place last night. The bloody ground had been cleaned up completely. Broken limbs, dead bodies, charred corpses, and war horses that had broken legs and fell to the ground were all there. It was as if nothing had happened except for the clean ground.
Come to think of it, all we have to do is sweep the snow, shovel the ice, dig a hole and bury the body, and it will be done.
But, "Uncle, where are the horses? Where are the horses? Did you bury them all?"
Zhou Dacang said with a smile, "How can we bury live horses? These are all genuine Hu people's horses, specially selected and brought over mountains and hills. There are people in the team who know how to judge horses. They have checked and found that they are all first-class good horses. Even if they can't go to the battlefield after they recover from their injuries, it's still a good deal to use them for breeding. The one I'm riding now is the one at home. Although it's also good, it's not as good as these horses."
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up. It was too dark last night and she didn't look carefully. It turned out that this batch of horses was so good.
She rolled her eyes. These barbarians were killed by themselves. She killed half of them by herself. She couldn't be so busy and then get nothing. She was famous for her hard work.
He asked tentatively, "Uncle, there are about thirty horses in this batch. Do you want them all?"
Zhou Da Cang turned to look at her and said, "I know you really want to keep one, but this batch of horses is different. They are all first-class horses. In addition to military pay and food, our camp lacks horses the most. Even a mediocre horse is valued very much. Let alone thirty or so horses like this, there are so many people who came with us, so many mouths, I can't feed them. I advise you not to think about it. You burned and buried them, ten horses died, and there are still twenty or so horses left. Among them, only twelve are intact, and the rest are more or less injured."
Zhou Guo was unhappy. "We killed these barbarians ourselves. When you came after us, we killed them all. You didn't contribute anything, but you want to take all the benefits. How can this be justified?"
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "So, we have discussed it. Although we can't give you the horses, the things they carry with them can be shared among you."
Zhou Guo was still unhappy. "I don't want any. I just want one horse. I have killed at least 18 barbarians. If you hadn't come, I would have taken four horses and no one would have said anything. Uncle, why do you only speak for them after entering the military camp? This is not acceptable. There is only one horse at home now. It is very inconvenient. You have to save one for me even if you have to save every penny."
Seeing her indignant look, Zhou Dacang felt somewhat guilty. It was indeed unkind of them to do this, but wasn't the situation too special? There had never been such an exception in previous years. When they caught up, all the Hu people were killed, and they were left with only the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
After thinking for a while, he said, "How about I talk to them later and leave one for you. You can choose it yourself."
Zhou Guo pondered over it, but was still not satisfied. He felt that this job was a waste. He worked for a long time and was exhausted, but ended up making wedding clothes for others.
Just as she was about to say something, something was stretched out in front of her. She subconsciously looked up and her mouth slowly opened wider and could no longer close.
Zhou Dacang looked around and whispered, "These were all searched from the luggage of these Hu people. I don't know where they got them from. Each of us got a share. They thought that you were small and contributed the most, so they specially left a share for you, the largest one. The rest is planned to be given to the village. It's not good to take it all, after all, everyone in the village has contributed, and there are several injured. It's just that there are so many people and households, so the share is not much. But compared to their income in previous years, it's already a windfall."
Zhou Guo took the heavy gold bar in front of him, weighed it, and found it was quite heavy. He bit it with his teeth and found it was real gold. He smiled happily, "Uncle, how many gold bars like this do I have? Also, are all the gold bars distributed to the villagers like this?"
Zhou Dacang held up three fingers mysteriously, "There aren't many gold bars. We lost them all after we divided them. What's left for the rest are silver jewelry. I hid one of these three. The other two were agreed to be for you. I also got one. This one is for your mother to keep for household expenses. You can keep the others for yourself and use them as a dowry in the future. I'll also keep the few pieces of jewelry for your mother to keep for you and Zhou Xing to keep in the bottom of the box in the future."
Three heavy gold bars!
Zhou Guo laughed so hard that his eyes were almost invisible. In this world, who doesn't love money? Especially gold, it's so golden and everyone who sees it will like it.
Just one horse, she won’t be able to ride more than one.
