Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031: Chapter 904: Deep Winter Night

This deep winter night, not only was Mr. Zhang’s courtyard filling with conversations between grandfather and grandson, but also several other small households were quite restless. More than a hundred meters away in Zhang Guofu’s house.

In the bedroom, Huang Cuilan nudged her husband beside her, "Are you asleep?"

"Hmm."

Even in the darkness, unable to see her husband’s expression, Huang Cuilan sensed a strong reluctance to communicate. She pouted in grievance and reached out to grab his hand.

Zhang Guofu sighed silently. Seeing the situation, if he didn’t say something, he probably wouldn’t have a good night’s sleep tonight. Ultimately, he spoke up, "Are you worried about Xiao Zuo and Xiao You?"

"I’m not worried about those ungrateful sons. They’ve been back for so long and couldn’t bother to say a few more words to me. Look at Little Stone, he’s constantly asking about how things are at his mother’s family, and whether Xiao Miao and the others have caused any trouble at home."

This sour tone made Zhang Guoqiang giggle, "I think the sons did well; they even knew to bring gifts for you and Mai Miao when they returned."

Seeing him smile, Huang Cuilan felt relieved, "It would’ve been better if they hadn’t bought anything, saving some money. Those two brothers really don’t understand; can’t they see you’ve lost so much weight from being busy all day long?"

In the darkness, Zhang Guofu didn’t know how to respond. Even wanting to praise himself a bit doesn’t necessarily mean stepping down his sons. Which family’s sons or daughters can rely on foraging to earn tuition?

"This time, the kids made Xiao Wu spend quite a bit of money. Before coming back, my sister-in-law asked me to buy some things to send over. What do you say?"

It’s necessary, and we must buy more, send more things over, so Xiao Wu can be respected. Zhang Guofu suppressed his inner thoughts and asked quietly, "What do you want to buy to send over?"

Huang Cuilan paused, really buying, huh? If only she hadn’t brought up this topic. But if she hadn’t, it wouldn’t do either, when Old Zhang the Second’s couple sends things, who wouldn’t know?

"My sister-in-law said if the weather’s good recently, she’ll return to the village and see who still has stock."

Zhang Guofu glanced sideways at her; how could he not understand her little thoughts after being married for so many years? He chuckled, "What? Can’t bear to part with it?"

"How could I? Listen to the dishes they talk about at the table; I reckon Jiao Jiao doesn’t have any stock now. But this time we can’t send those dried vegetables again; as for meat, us women can’t find the right channels."

"Do you think it’d be great if Xiao Wu were at home? When did our family ever buy meat? Xiao Zuo said his uncle hasn’t hunted in a long time, it’s a pity."

"If only the children’s father had learned some skills from our grandpa when he was young."

"Haha..." Zhang Guofu didn’t know how to continue the conversation. If he had the strength like Xiao Wu, maybe he wouldn’t have become her husband.

How many years older is he compared to Xiao Wu? If he had that strength, would his parents still have to work themselves to the bone in the fields all day? Back in those years, there were more wild animals on the mountains, and business was more casual.

What’s so great about having Xiao Wu at home? No matter how good you are at hunting, accidents can still happen. Now Xiao Wu is so capable, there’s no need to care about those insignificant concerns!

Zhang Guofu sighed, "Sleep, I’ll handle this with Old Zhang the Second tomorrow."

"Tired? I still have things to say."
