Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1061

Chapter 1061: Chapter 934: Out of Practice

"Xiao Wu, what are you up to today? Why haven’t we seen your whole family?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled, "What else can we do? Just taking the kids for a walk nearby, visiting some elders."

"We thought you might have taken your son up the mountain for hunting. Ping’an is so grown up now, aren’t you going to teach him?"

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the brothers present and shook his head with a smile, "I haven’t been active these past few years, I’m out of practice myself, so let’s forget about it."

"That’s a shame, brother was hoping you could take a few of us up the mountain. The team is currently in need of some meat during the busy farming season, and you could also stock some at home for later."

Zhang Guoqing knew something was coming. Zhang Qingfeng is straightforward, and in front of family, he says whatever’s on his mind.

Next to him, Zhang Qingshan glanced at Zhang Guoqing, explaining similarly, "Yesterday, Grandfather Third mentioned it to me. I figured the next month will be busier, and with you leading, the young ones going up the mountain would be safer."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile, not responding, and took a sip of his drink.

Zhang the Second, seeing his cousin, lost any intention of helping out. Did they really think his younger brother was such a fool to be ordered around by them?

Want some meat? Ha, even without Xiao Wu, haven’t you all been eating well?

Now he understands why his brother Xiao Wu claims to be out of practice. That’s exactly how it should be!

Zhang Guofu shook his head with a smile, "You want Xiao Wu to go up the mountain? It’s not like the county hasn’t heard he and Jiao Jiao came back. The two of them don’t even have time."

"Oh..."

Zhang Guofu and Zhang the Second exchanged a look and smiled, changing the subject. Some things are worth pondering, because his brother Xiao Wu, like their father, is too easygoing.

"A man’s reputation is like the shadow of a tree."

The Zhang Family Village production team has been somewhat protected by Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing. The villagers understand this, and so do the educated youths who were sent down.

After leaving Aunt Zhang’s house, Zhou Jiao, holding her sons’ hands, hadn’t walked far before they ran into a group of teenagers about seventeen or eighteen years old.

After those three days in Beidahuang, Zhou Jiao’s impression of these educated youths had improved significantly. Maybe some of them harbored their own thoughts, but who doesn’t have a little selfishness?

"Comrade Zhou, Comrade Zhou."

Zhou Jiao, seeing the somewhat restrained youths in front of her, gave a gentle smile and nodded at them, "Hello."

Seeing her genuinely friendly attitude, just as rumors said, everyone relaxed. The young woman leading the group smiled and said, "Are you heading back?"

"Yes, are you heading out?"

"Hehe, a few of us want to go to the riverbank."

Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly and said with a double meaning, "Be careful."

Everyone knew what she was hinting at being careful about, but they didn’t expect her kindly reminder, which made them linger a bit longer than planned.

"Ping’an, would you like to join us?"

"We’ll pass. Brothers and sisters, don’t stray too far from the village. If something happens, just shout, and someone at the entrance will come out to help."

"Are you heading back to Beijing soon?"

"In a few days. My grandparents will still often visit the village."

As they left, Zhou Jiao pensively looked at her three sons. She hadn’t expected the kids to get along so well with these youths.

"Mom, you find it strange?"

"A bit."

"Actually, they’re pretty good. Some can’t do heavy work but still try hard to keep up. They even tell stories to the kids in the team whenever they have time."
