Chapter 978: Adoptive Father
The square-faced man couldn't help but twitch his lips, muttering to himself that the other person is looking for your uncle, not you, so why are you sticking to him?
The round-faced man smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Today is New Year's Eve. We're celebrating the New Year. We still have a meal tonight. If we have a meal tonight, we'll celebrate the New Year together."
He still likes Zhou Guo very much.
Zhou Guo looked at the round-faced man and smiled at him. She remembered this uncle. He looked like her father.
The round-faced man couldn't help but sit down after hearing her smile and put all the delicious food in front of her.
The square-faced man couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but secretly complain to Zhou Dacang, "You are all those who don't have daughters at home. You want daughters so much. Is this a disease?"
Zhou Dacang ignored him. He was very happy that Zhou Guo was liked by so many people. With these people protecting her, the things she wanted to do would be more secure.
In this world, having a reliable and powerful backer is much more stable than having no one!
Zhou Guo had his uncle by his side at this time, and General Xu was also an old acquaintance. They were still the same as they were back then, kind and friendly, without any general airs at all, and they were completely bold.
Le Dao said: "That's the best. I was originally planning to leave on the third day of the New Year if I couldn't wait for you. I have packed my things."
General Xu said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late to leave after the 15th. You donated so much food to us for nothing and got nothing in return. In this way, Dad can agree to three of your requests. Tell me what you want, and Dad will agree to it!"
The first time Zhou Guo heard the word "Dad", he thought he had heard it wrong. The second time he heard the word "Dad", he felt like he was struck by lightning.
I can't even speak, and several questions keep circling in my mind?
How did he know that she was acting under the name of his daughter?
When did you know this?
Will he be angry? How will he punish her? Will he spank her?
After such a short while, my palms were full of sweat.
General Xu was talking when he saw that she didn't move. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and said to Zhou Dacang worriedly, "Look, what happened to this child? She was fine just now, why is she not moving? No, we need to get a doctor. Someone, go get a doctor."
Zhou Dacang said quickly: "General, no need, I see, she is happy."
"Happy? What are you happy about?" General Xu didn't understand for a moment. What made him so happy?
Zhou Da Cang quickly shook Zhou Guo and said, "Wake up, are you so happy to hear that the general has recognized you as his goddaughter? This is not like you. Aren't you always fearless?"
General Xu finally realized that Zhou Guo herself didn't know that he had adopted her as his daughter. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't had time to tell you about this. You made such a big fuss in the north, and some people secretly said behind your back that you are my daughter, a child who was lost among the people!
I thought that such an excellent child would be my own and I would be proud of him. Therefore, I adopted you as my goddaughter several years ago. Why didn’t your uncle tell you? That’s also Dad’s fault. I should have told you.”
Zhou Guo was dumbfounded again after hearing his words.
She thought that the bigwigs in the north were giving her so much face because of the false banner she had raised and the increasingly big banner of Zhou Dacang.
But it turned out that her identity was already clear to the general from the very beginning?
Why is she so cautious, fearing that the general would find out and punish her?
However, my uncle should know about this. Why didn’t he tell her after coming back so many times?
I couldn't help but give him a look of reproach.
Zhou Dacang blinked: I thought you knew.
Zhou Guo was upset. How would she know where to go? Whoever told her that, you are too unreliable.
The round-faced man said with a smile, "This is a great event. The general got a daughter for free. Should we set up two tables?"
While saying this, he winked at Zhou Guo frantically, even more anxious than Zhou Dacang.
Zhou Guo reacted immediately, stood up, and knelt down with his legs firmly planted straight.
Zhou Dacang immediately made her a cup of tea.
Zhou Guo took it, raised her hands above her head, and said loudly: "The adopted daughter Zhou Guo pays homage to the adoptive father. I wish you blessings like the long-flowing water of the East China Sea, and may your great cause be successful for eternity!"
General Xu raised his head and laughed happily. His joyful laughter could be heard from far away, startling a group of birds.
Zhou Dacang and the others immediately said, "Congratulations to the general on having an adopted daughter!"
Zhou Guo couldn't help but laugh. Now, she was really the general's daughter. Hahahaha...
If her great ambition is accomplished in the future and she becomes a royal relative, wouldn't her fat be sold all over the world very quickly?
There are new seeds.
It can feed many people!
No need to worry about being plundered by people above!
When I think about it this way, the future is truly bright.
Besides, the general is still so young and can live for another 20 or 30 years.
General Xu drank her tea happily, then took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to her, saying, "This is for you. All the children in my Xu family have one. You have three older brothers, and they all have one, and there is only one left.
I was thinking of giving it to your mother if she could give birth to a girl, but she never did. So, I'll give it to you. From now on, you are a child of the Xu family, and everyone will recognize this jade pendant."
Zhou Guo took it with both hands. It felt warm to the touch and had a delicate texture. It was obviously top-quality mutton-fat jade, with a small word "Xu" engraved on it.
She looked at General Xu.
General Xu said, "There is a character Xu on it. Since you have acknowledged me as your adoptive father and are a member of my Xu family, I will give you a name."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Yes, please give me a name, foster father."
General Xu said without thinking: "Just call him Xu Anbei. Your eldest brother is Xu Xiaobei, your second brother is Xu Yubei, and your third brother is Xu Sibei."
Zhou Dacang hesitated to speak.
The other people twitched their lips.
Zhou Guo hesitated and said, "Foster father, this is not good, isn't this name... too big?"
An Bei, how could she have that ability?
General Xu said, "What's so great about it? You deserve it. Just call yourself this. I've been thinking about it for a long time. This name suits you best."
She glanced at Zhou Dacang out of the corner of her eye, and Zhou Dacang nodded imperceptibly.
Zhou Guo kowtowed and said happily, "Yes, foster father. Thank you for the name."
General Xu pulled her up cheerfully, looked at Zhou Dacang and said, "Don't mind. I gave her another name. This name will only be used in big occasions and will not cover her current name."
Zhou Dacang quickly said he didn't dare.
But everyone present was startled, and they all understood what the big occasion he was talking about was.
Zhou Guo sat up and asked, "Godfather, when did you come and when did you leave?"
