Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748: Chapter 623: Filial Piety of the Heart

In the old courtyard, Mother Zhang watched her grandchildren bustling about with a cheerful smile, unable to sit still, she followed them, moving between the kitchen and the courtyard.

Mai Miao amusedly advised, "Grandma, sit down and rest for a bit. We can handle this. Little sister, go ahead and help our grandma sit down."

"Grandma, take a rest. My sister and brother can handle it. Let me tell you, today my fifth brother also caught quite a few things. Don’t let his age fool you; he’s really quick with his hands and feet..."

Xi Zi carried a large plate of vegetable porridge, while Ziwen carried a big plate of mixed grain steamed buns. The two cousins came out one after another, both instructing the younger brothers to be careful.

In the kitchen, Ping’an watched Mai Miao stir-fry river snails with bright eyes, "Big Sister, you’re amazing! Well, almost as good as my mom. You’ll be even better when you grow up."

"That’s nothing. I’ll show you something even better tomorrow. Are you getting used to staying in the old home? Tonight we can catch cicada slugs again, those things are delicious when slightly fried in oil, and we can even sell them for money."

Ping’an’s eyes crinkled with laughter as he nodded repeatedly, "Great. I love the old home, there are so many fun things to do here, and you all know so much."

"My fifth brother knows a lot too. It was my aunt who taught me about these cicada slugs, and your mom fries them even better than I do."

Ping’an inhaled contentedly, thinking to himself, of course, I know that. My mom is generous with oil. And who is my mom? She’s got skills for days.

Speaking of his mom, there it was, the sound of his dad and mom in the courtyard.

Ping’an carefully avoided his brothers who were fetching bowls and chopsticks, and ran into the courtyard, launching himself at Zhang Guoqing who caught him with both hands, making Ping’an giggle with delight.

"So happy?"

Zhou Jiao looked at the unwashed mud on his clothes with amusement, he was really a little mud boy. But his hands and feet were clean, so she didn’t say much. It was enough that he was having fun!

"Mom, the kids here can all earn money."

Hearing the implication in his words, Zhou Jiao laughed, "Do you have something to discuss?"

Ping’an nodded with a gleam in his eyes, "I knew my mom is the smartest! Can you take us to gather medicinal herbs sometime?"

"No problem!" Zhou Jiao agreed immediately. Knowing things outside of what’s in textbooks is something she intended for him anyway. It’s never a bad idea to learn more survival skills.

Zhang Guoqing saw his nieces and nephews stop what they were doing and smiled, "Pick a time, I have some preparation to do."

The children cheered happily at his words, and Xi Zi and Ziwen put down what they were holding to crowd around Zhang Guoqing, as if they were still kids, despite being sixteen, shaking his arm.

"Uncle, let’s go hunting as well."

"Uncle, we promise to follow your every command."

Zhang Guoqing thought of what he discovered on the mountain at noon and smiled mysteriously, teasing the kids’ curiosity before slowly nodding.

Zuo You, Shi Tou, and the others weren’t having it, they rushed forward, grabbing Zhang Guoqing, "Uncle, what about us?"

Zhang Guoqing cheerfully nodded, "Everyone will go! But you must listen to commands."

"No problem!"

Mother Zhang asked worriedly, "Will it be dangerous?"

Zhou Jiao reassured her, "Mom, Xiao Wu knows his limits." She finished, then whispered in her ear, "Let them have fun first, we won’t go to the dangerous places."

Mother Zhang nodded with a relieved smile.
