Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 362: Wild Greens

The mountains are greener, the trees lusher. The morning breeze gently brushes over the wild vegetables covering the hills, the tall willows by the willow trees, the stinging nettles by the river bank, the water celery, the dandelions in the fields, and the wild onions.

The refreshing scent of wild vegetables wafts through every household in Zhang Family Village.

While the South is already hot in early summer, Zhang Family Village is still in the midst of spring blossoms, with the air filled with the joy of spring.

Zhou Jiao stands in the courtyard, closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and exhales slowly, marveling that this is the real oxygen bar.

Mother Zhang sees this and shakes her head with a chuckle—this child is being playful again.

"Mom, did you sleep well last night? Did Xi Zi and the others bother you?"

Zhou Jiao hears the movement, turns her head to see Mother Zhang, full of joy, her brilliant smile momentarily dazing Mother Zhang, who then bursts into laughter.

"Our Jiao Jiao is indeed getting more and more beautiful. We slept very soundly. Last night Xi Zi and the others only went to bed after playing until they were exhausted, and they just woke up now."

After dinner last night, Mother Zhang was still not at ease with just Jiao Jiao and her child in one courtyard, and in the end, she returned to the east room. Xi Zi and the others were even less willing to leave.

Zhou Jiao smiles broadly at Mother Zhang’s praise. Watching her mother-in-law enter the kitchen, she calls out, "Mom, I’ve prepared breakfast. Dad went out early and should almost be back for the meal. I’ll go call the kids."

"Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?..."

Zhou Jiao hears Mother Zhang’s muttering from the kitchen and smiles softly. Without replying, she quickly calls Xi Zi and the others to get up for breakfast. She plans to go dig for wild vegetables.

After breakfast, those who needed to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school had left.

Mother Zhang watches as Zhou Jiao heads out with a bamboo basket along with the Mai Miao sisters. She reckons Zhou Jiao doesn’t recognize as many wild vegetables as the two little girls do. Thinking about this, she laughs heartily.

She looks down at the shoe soles in her hands, thinks of the family’s shoes, immediately tosses them into a basket, and claps her hands at the children playing joyfully on the kang, "Ping’an, are you coming?"

Ping’an immediately drops what he’s holding and runs over to her, shouting, "Go go... go go..."

"You little thing, why do you always like going out to play?" Mother Zhang hastily picks up the child, worried about dirtying his clothes, she quickly grabs a little jacket from the kang.

Once it’s on, she looks at the fair, tender little grandson, truly amused and exasperated. Is this the rough cloth that Jiao Jiao mentioned for the child?

No choice, once the jacket is on, Mother Zhang takes the child and quickly leaves. She knows this is probably the poorest quality fabric for the child, but with Jiao Jiao’s good sewing skills and beautiful embroidery designs, this attire simply can’t be low-key. She doesn’t mind, her daughter-in-law has too much free time and loves being crafty.

Zhou Jiao at this time has no idea of her mother-in-law’s grumbling. She follows the two little girls to their old spot, seeing the children nearby staring blankly, she can’t help but laugh merrily.

"Aunt Wu, how come you’re here?" Uncle Zhang’s granddaughter runs over to ask upon seeing her.

Zhou Jiao feels a bit embarrassed to say she’s digging for wild vegetables. This place is apparently a regular spot for the kids. She also realizes it’s probably a slope far from the Daqing Mountain specifically chosen by the village adults for the kids.

"Hehe... I’m here to see you all. You are all so well-behaved! Mai Miao, both of you follow your sisters and play together, but remember not to go far. Auntie will go check other places."

After speaking, Zhou Jiao quickly slips away. How embarrassing, she forgot all the adults are busy earning work points.
