Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Chapter 365: Fishing

Zhang Guoqing wandered around the grove, looked up at the mountain peak opposite, and decided to leave quickly as he thought about it. His purpose this time was to make Zhou Jiao happy, and there was no need to make her anxious and fearful.

Once again carrying Zhou Jiao on his back, Zhang Guoqing ran through the mountains. Being able to smoothly navigate this path and leave quickly was truly thanks to Mr. Zhang. Without Mr. Zhang’s attentive nurturing, Zhang Guoqing wouldn’t be able to conquer the perilous Daqing Mountain, even with his innate Divine Power.

At this moment, carrying Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing passed through various places and would tell Zhou Jiao what Mr. Zhang had done when he brought him here in the past and how the grandfather and grandson cooperated.

Zhou Jiao listened and admired the legendary skill of Mr. Zhang even more. She was now filled with anticipation for the cabin built by Mr. Zhang. Despite Zhang Guoqing repeatedly telling her that it was merely a place for hunters to stay overnight, Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—this was genuinely doing good deeds.

Zhang Guoqing ran for less than twenty minutes before the two arrived at a mountain hollow. Across a whole patch of grassland with several shrubs, a small pond was not far away. The cabin Zhou Jiao anticipated was already in sight.

"How is it? Disappointed?" Zhou Guoqing asked amusedly, watching her circle around the cabin.

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "I’m not foolish. Hunters seem to come and stay here often; it’s not dusty at all. Would it be bad for us to cook meat here?"

Zhang Guoqing laughed, "There are only about ten hunters here. We all know each other, and now in spring plowing, no one can come up the mountain. They wouldn’t be surprised seeing us cooking meat here as they’re just here for a break. There’s plenty of meat on the mountain; it all comes down to one’s skill." Saying that, he first led Zhou Jiao to the pond. Moments ago there were some water birds and wildlife, but now they had all escaped.

The couple didn’t care. At this moment, Zhang Guoqing was holding a wooden fork, teaching Zhou Jiao how to spear fish hand-in-hand.

"Brother, I won’t play anymore. You should fish with a net while there’s no one. So many fish! Are those oddly shaped fish edible?"

After playing for a while, Zhou Jiao lost interest. She started examining the fish and found most of them unfamiliar, quickly seeking Zhang Guoqing’s help.

"Grandpa taught me before; how could I forget? Don’t be deceived by their ugly appearance; they taste far better than river fish. I had wanted to come and break ice during winter to fish for you, but there was never an opportunity. Let’s catch more now; in another month, you won’t even find a fish tail here as many people know this spot."

Upon hearing, Zhou Jiao quickly took out the fishing net for him, happily squatting on the ground, watching Zhang Guoqing cast the net and bait. She increasingly felt how handsome her man looked.

Goldfinger or whatever—this man was her greatest goldfinger.

As Zhang Guoqing listened to her random commands, he occasionally turned his head to look at her.

There was no significant danger here, but there were many snakes. He worried that the realgar and medicine bags wouldn’t be enough—his wife’s fair and tender skin was quite tempting to snakes.

"Look—see, listening to my commands was right, wasn’t it? Brother, wait for me to change the net." Zhou Jiao smiled proudly, inadvertently noticing shrimp and small fish slipping through, quickly signaling silently.

Watching her gesticulating excitedly, flushed with emotion, Zhang Guoqing laughed heartily. At this moment, his wife truly resembled his son, Ping’an.

"No need to rush; let’s catch the big fish first and change later. Come over here, hold my waist, and experience the joy of fishing."

Zhou Jiao quickly approached, grabbed his clothes, and tried to pull the fishing net, finding it motionless—this action made Zhang Guoqing laugh again.

"Oh... silly! Be careful, the fish might drag you down. See, brother avenges you." Zhang Guoqing teased, wrapping one arm around her and easily dragging the net onto the shore with one hand.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and collapsing in his arms.

Zhang Guoqing was momentarily puzzled, not understanding what was so funny. He quickly helped Zhou Jiao rub her stomach, seeing tears of laughter coming out, and reflected on any amusing actions he might have done earlier.
