Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: Chapter 496: Countermeasures

Zhang the Second just got the latest news. This time the Old Captain didn’t inform him, but he also wanted to contribute.

At this point, if he doesn’t go back, logically speaking it’s no big deal, but in the future if his three brothers have any issues, the villagers’ attitude will surely be different.

His own younger brother has done so many good deeds, taken ninety-nine steps, how could he lack the last step?

When he asked Zuo Lin for leave, he also voiced his thoughts. No matter how selfish it sounds, he didn’t want to hide it from his Uncle Zuo. Uncle Zuo treats him just like Xiao Wu’s godfather treats Xiao Wu.

He and Uncle Zuo, Aunt Zuo were just short of a godparent title, so why hide it? Every time he makes a mistake, Uncle Zuo would privately and bluntly criticize him.

Zuo Lin nodded after hearing this and finally reminded him, "Remember to talk to your Uncle Dashan privately. He must be aware of this matter but is still waiting for the lower ranks to notify the upper ranks."

Zhang Guoqiang immediately understood, cheerfully left the workplace. He first went to Zhao Dashan, mentioned it to him, so he was aware. Then he ran back to the yard where Mr. Zhang lived.

"Dad, I’ll go back with you. What did big brother say?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang scrutinized his son, smiled and said, "Is the sun rising from the west? Come on, why the sudden thought of returning to the village? You’re always the one disapproving of Xiao Wu being this kind-hearted."

"You are really something, old man. How could you talk about your own son like this? Mom, don’t laugh, just listen to what dad said, as if I wouldn’t lend a hand to my clan."

Mother Zhang patted her husband, "Alright, stop teasing the kid. Your dad has been waiting for you brothers to come over. He said once he leaves, you surely won’t feel at ease and will follow to supervise him."

Zhang the Second felt a surge of relief. He really hadn’t considered this point. In his way of dealing, if he didn’t go, he would definitely drag his dad, wouldn’t let him go even if he died.

Zhang the Second watched as his dad fumbled out a large package of bottles and jars, oiled paper bags, "Dad, where did all this come from? You’re not bringing it all, are you?"

Mr. Zhang said with a smug smile, "These are all given by our Jiao Jiao. I never thought they’d be useful, and now they’re unexpectedly coming in handy."

Zhang the Second curiously leaned closer. He casually picked up the nearest bottle, with each one he looked at, his mouth opened wider. Except for the unknown content wrapped in oiled paper, these are all good things.

He looked at Mr. Zhang with grievance, "Dad, last time when I had a stomachache, why didn’t you give me any medicine? And this hemostatic, why not spare some for me just in case?"

Could Mr. Zhang admit he almost forgot? If it weren’t for his wife rummaging through old belongings and accidentally finding them, these things are a year or two old, how could he remember?

He angrily smacked his son’s forehead, "You think I don’t know that Xiao Wu also sent quite a lot to you four siblings?"

Having said that, he looked at him sheepishly.

... Surely not wrong, his youngest son and his partner are like money dispersing fairies.

"The amount given was almost used up. These are all freshly prepared by Jiao Jiao herself, and I’ve found them more effective than market ones. Dad, you better not bring it to the village; it’d be a pity."

Zhang the Second pointed to several oiled paper bags, "What are these?"

"Your mom said Ping’an uses these to repel mosquitoes. It wasn’t until the kid got bitten that we remembered Jiao Jiao also gave us quite a bit."

Mr. Zhang’s confidence dwindled more as he spoke. He coughed, "What’s wrapped in oiled paper were meant for my self-defense in Beijing last year, you better not tell anyone. Look at this, it’s itching powder, should anyone upset me... hmm hmm..."
