Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Chapter 454: More Sentimental Than Anyone

Mother Zhang inadvertently caused a big mess; she couldn’t quite figure out her feelings. It was indeed a wild boar, and it was her youngest son who caught it.

Is it a pity? Definitely felt the pain of losing it. Any regrets? Seeing the old sisters in the village, who were so ashamed they couldn’t even look her in the eye, she quickly let it go.

——Forget it, let’s just consider it as my son doing a good deed.

Zhou Jiao noticed the situation, her eyes shifted with thought. To make her mother-in-law happy, she had to give away a wild boar for free. Otherwise, it would be bad if the elder held in her feelings and fell ill.

The Old Captain promised with a smile to give Mr. Zhang an extra share of meat at the end of the year, which made Zhang Guoqing laugh heartily. He had no intention of gaining anything in return when he offered the pig; having a share for his parents was enough.

After dinner, Zhou Jiao hurried home before the elderly couple, taking out a wild boar. She patted the boar with regret, full of meat.

In the dead of night, Mother Zhang finally saw her youngest son slaughter their own pig, happily watching and directing from the side, leaving Mr. Zhang speechless. Fortunately, there was still one left; otherwise, his wife would be thinking about it until the year-end.

"Xiao Wu, keep the pig head for your father to use during ancestral worship. Our family’s good fortune today is all thanks to our ancestors’ blessing, and they must continue to watch over you from above."

Zhang Guoqing gave his mother a thumbs-up with a smile. This made Mother Zhang extremely happy; she thought for a moment and then said, "And you must also bring more meat back to honor your father-in-law."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but laugh. How cute was her mother-in-law! Didn’t she think her dad’s contributions were no less than Old Zhang’s ancestors?

"Mom, this time I won’t bring any back. Cut some for my godfather and the rest is yours. Whoever you like, reward them with a piece of meat."

After hearing this, Mother Zhang patted Zhou Jiao, "Silly child, how much can your dad and I eat? Look around to see which families need New Year gifts and get them arranged."

Mr. Zhang chuckled on the side, "Don’t you two want to visit your uncle’s house? Just bring some meat tomorrow, and mention that you won’t visit during the New Year. Also send some to Zuo Lin and Dashan’s families; repaying some small favors."

Zhang Guoqing had no objections to his father’s arrangement. Letting go of a third of the meat for social obligations, and leaving the rest for Mother Zhang to handle. Every year she liked making some preserved meat to store away and feel at ease, so it was just to her liking.

The next day, the couple carried twenty pounds of meat and two military coats as New Year gifts to the two uncles’ homes. They deliberately went early in the morning and even visited their cafeteria.

Compared to Zhang Family Village, this place really was lacking in food and clothing. Fortunately, Mother Zhang would occasionally support her natal family. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how the two uncles’ families, with over twenty people, would survive.

For the nephew’s couple’s visit, the two uncles were overjoyed. Seeing the things they brought, they repeatedly refused, continuously saying their elder sister, Mother Zhang, had already helped a lot and they really couldn’t accept more. Even the cousins gathered around showed guilt, insisting they take it back.

The two aunts each went back to their rooms, rummaging through cabinets, and found some boxes of pastries, insisting that the young couple eat them. The grandchildren standing by looked at the pastries with bright eyes, sucking their fingers, not daring to make a sound.
