Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 178: Wasteful

Lin Lishan looked at Jiao Jiao amusingly, Huang Cuilan seemed thoughtful, and Lin Juhua cheerfully looked at Shi Tou.

Xiao Zuo shouted loudly, "I understand, there are bad guys secretly looking for adults. When we grow up, we can catch the bad guys ourselves." After shouting, he covered his mouth, looked at Zhou Jiao’s face, and only felt relieved when he saw she wasn’t blaming him, laughing cheekily.

Zhou Jiao looked at this little boy, who seemed quite clever, and nodded in her heart.

Little Stone scratched his head and said to Zhou Jiao, "Auntie, I want to wear a little military uniform and at the same time want a tiger, what should I do?"

Lin Lishan looked amusingly at this child, waiting to see how her Jiao Jiao would answer.

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded at Little Stone, praising him, "Our Little Stone, although the youngest, always asks when he doesn’t understand something; that’s very good. We adults also have many things we don’t understand and will ask others. Little Stone, this is a great question. How about this, Auntie will sew a tiger onto your little military uniform?"

Little Stone thought for a moment but then shook his head, "I’d rather not, I want to be like my brothers. Next time my mom makes clothes for me, Auntie, you can make me a little tiger then."

"Alright, all the kids in our family are good kids, Auntie will surely remember. Once Auntie can go to town, she’ll buy cloth, and before the New Year, you all can wear the little military uniforms."

The four little fellows giggled and played around, saying goodbye to everyone before running off, and Huang Cuilan hurriedly said, "Jiao Jiao, don’t listen to the children. Cloth tickets are very scarce nowadays, where would we find so much cloth? Last time, Auntie gave us quite a bit of cloth, and we’re waiting till the end of the year to make clothes for them. They aren’t short on clothes, so don’t waste the cloth tickets."

Lin Juhua nodded repeatedly, "Big sister is right, kids grow fast, and by next year they won’t fit. We shouldn’t just make clothes because they ask for them."

Zhou Jiao looked at them amusingly and said, "As their Auntie, I’ve promised, so I must deliver. Four little ones won’t waste much cloth; don’t worry, I have it under control. Mom, it’s getting late, let’s tidy up and sleep early. It’s too cold, you all should have a cup of brown sugar water before bed."

Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua quickly tidied up and left in a hurry, not even drinking the brown sugar water.

Zhou Jiao and her mom exchanged a smile, and Zhou Jiao served two bowls of the bird’s nest stew she cooked today, and sat down with Lin Lishan, "Mom, try it and see how it is? I also have some bird’s nest. When you go back, take some and cook it for yourself when you have time. Bird’s nest is good for beauty and nourishment. I spent a lot of favors to buy it, so remember not to give it away."

Lin Lishan shook her head decisively and said firmly, "You should eat this yourself. I see there is not much. I also want to try to see if I can find more; if you were abroad, it would be easier to buy. Nowadays, everyone in the country hoards it, only Ah Jiao is easier to buy. Don’t bother asking around, there’s none in the country, even money can’t buy it."

Zhou Jiao looked at her helplessly, "Let’s just finish this, then silver ear fungus is also good."

Lin Lishan patted herself and hurriedly stood up to bring out a food container from the inner room, "Look at my forgetfulness, this is what Xiao Wu specially asked the Imperial Chef to make tonight. Let’s see what kind of soup it is."

Zhou Jiao took it and opened it to look; they all had medicinal ingredients for nourishment, "This is pigeon soup, and that one is sweet soup. I’ll drink the sweet one tonight. Recently, it’s been chicken soup every day, with noodles either in chicken soup or pig trotters soup, it’s overwhelming. Mom, just prepare some rice for me, nothing else is needed, don’t buy anything else. Money can buy them, but rice is refined grain and is very scarce. Every day I look forward to eating rice, even just with plain water."
