Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489: Chapter 374: Zhang Family Village (Part 2)

Accountant Zhang no longer wanted to deal with him. He was older and still didn’t get it, saying more would be pointless. He kept his head down and focused on massaging his wife.

This time back, the city doctor said his wife would quickly recover, except for some speech difficulties in the future. He hoped his wife would get up soon. Oh... it’s bad to lie down for too long.

Time passed as his eldest son mumbled and muttered.

"Dad, how’s Mom? Feeling better? I brought the medicine; remember to give it to her," Zhang Chunming said as he entered the room.

After glancing at his older brother, he curiously asked, "Why didn’t you go to work today, big brother?"

"Heh heh, folks were just reasoning with the team leader; I just came back. I’ll leave after a break. Hey youngest, your father-in-law really didn’t take a penny from the team and donated the family’s old sow and hens?"

"Oh, he did donate. Villagers didn’t count money this time. My father-in-law would be embarrassed to take it. Back in the day when joining small collectives, aside from big items like cattle and donkeys being counted, the rest weren’t, right? Why are you asking? Did my father-in-law do something wrong?"

After saying that, Zhang Chunming looked at him suspiciously.

"Heh heh, it’s nothing. Just asking. I’m off to work. Stay and chat with Dad and Mom."

After seeing him leave, Zhang Chunming asked, "Dad, what’s wrong with my older brother?"

"Ignore him. Why did you come back today?"

Zhang Chunming laughed and scratched his head, "I was supposed to come back earlier but got delayed by some matters. How’s Mom these days? Any better?"

After saying that, he took out six packs of Chinese medicine from the cloth bag and placed them on the cabinet, then took out two packs of snacks and put them in the drawer. He noticed some unfinished snacks inside, "Dad, don’t be reluctant to eat them. If they stay too long, they’ll spoil."

Accountant Zhang laughed and nodded, "Got these from your brother-in-law again? Don’t bring them over in the future; let the kids have them instead. Nowadays, the cafeteria makes sure everyone’s full; there’s no need for these snacks."

Zhang Chunming laughed heartily, "I know Dad isn’t greedy, but if you’re hungry at night, it’s something to fill the stomach. These are from Xiao Wu for you two. Besides, are you worried the kids won’t have enough to eat? Since Xiao Wu moved to the county, Xiao Wen and the others’ mouths haven’t stopped. I feel embarrassed watching."

"Get along well with that couple. I’ve stayed at your place long enough to see Xiao Wu’s couple really respects your wife. There are five siblings in his family; they all seem close on the surface, but Xiao Wu is closest to your wife."

"Yeah, I know."

Accountant Zhang laughed, "Old lady, look, this silly son says he knows. He knows nothing!" After saying that, he saw his youngest son laughing too but didn’t refute it.

He continued, "Nowadays, Xiao Wu doesn’t interfere in his two brothers’ family affairs anymore, do you know?"

Zhang Chunming nodded, "I’ve heard from my wife; I’ve a bit of an idea. It’s my father-in-law who told Xiao Wu to focus on his own household."
