Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769: Chapter 644: Keep Up the Good Work, Young Man!

Zhang Guoqing jogged all the way home, hurriedly greeting many familiar faces as he passed by, and finally unlocking the gate, letting out a long breath. People back home were indeed enthusiastic!

Standing in the yard, he immediately spotted the cart piled high inside. There was no way he could miss it, it was so conspicuous.

Zhang Guoqing noticed some noise from the kitchen and knew without thinking that his wife was storing things in the cellar again. Remembering the food coupons his father held, he grinned.

They really were a family that never stopped bustling!

In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao had just come up from the basement. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "Besides daily necessities, I put five bags of flour and two bags of rice. I dare not store more; our dad might sell them again through his godfather."

"Five bags of flour are two hundred and fifty pounds, still too much. He’ll sell them," Zhang Guoqing chuckled helplessly.

"Did you see the cart outside? It’s for our two sisters. I’ve hidden two bags of flour inside, and also ten pounds of cotton for my eldest sister."

Zhang Guoqing knowingly asked, "Is the flour for eldest and second sister left to mom to distribute? The remaining three bags... clever! This way dad can’t sell them easily."

Zhou Jiao proudly laughed, "The quality of these is excellent, even if sold, they couldn’t be bought back. Let’s finish up quickly and go back to accompany our son."

Zhang Guoqing took her out of the kitchen, they locked the door, and pushed the cart towards Meili’s house.

Seeing her younger brother and sister-in-law approaching as she ate breakfast, Meili joyfully asked her parents-in-law to continue eating and immediately set down her bowl and chopsticks to run out.

Upon exiting the living room, she saw the firewood on the cart in the yard and anxiously asked, "You’ve hardly rested since coming home, who told you to chop wood?"

Knowing her tendency to make short talks long, Zhang Guoqing quickly unloaded the firewood, pulled out a bag of flour from inside, and shook it at her proudly.

Before she could speak, Zhang Guoqing took Zhou Jiao’s hand and dashed off, saying, "I’m off to my second sister’s place."

Meili stood there dumbfounded as she watched them run off, touching the cloth bag half-covered by wheat straw, furious. Such wasteful children! They’ve only been back a few days and are already spending recklessly again.

White flour! At least fifty pounds of it! That means two hundred pounds among the four siblings, and there’s certainly more for their mother. How much would that cost? These wasteful kids!

Zhang Chunming put down his chopsticks and quickly followed out, but Zhang Guoqing and his wife had already run off.

Upon seeing his wife patting the cart continuously, he curiously asked, "What’s up? Huh, why is Xiao Wu sending firewood to our home? Ziwen and the gang are so big..."

At this point, he noticed the bag hidden inside the cart and understood.

Meili smiled bitterly at him and nodded, "Afraid I’d nag, they just grabbed a bag of white flour and ran off with Jiao Jiao to Mei Hao’s place. Forget it, help me move it to the kitchen."

Zhang Chunming scratched his head, "We’re going to owe more and more favors this way."

"What silly talk. That’s my dear brother, no need to be polite with him. Honey, move it inside first; it won’t look good if the neighbors see it later."

Zhang Chunming shook his head with a smile; just as he moved the bag of flour, he found another bag underneath, and looked at his wife in amusement. Needless to say, it was another exclusive treat!

Meili received it, opened the bag, and saw it was cotton. She laughed, "Just right for making winter clothes for dad and mom. This must be Jiao Jiao’s doing. A few days ago, when I was airing clothes, planning to add cotton for dad and mom, she told me not to worry about it yet."

"With this amount, you can make a set for your parents too."

Meili wasn’t dumb. Her parents had all sorts of material for clothes, she could do this good deed easily. She laughed, "Even if I made it to send over, my mom would scold me. I’ll make an extra set for dad and mom, so they can change last year’s clothes this winter."
