Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Chapter 663: An Unexpected Harvest

Looking at the bottom of the valley, Ping’an saw it was safe, and quickly said, "Dad, go check on the little wild boar. I want to keep it!"

"Sure, hold onto my neck tighter."

Zhang Guoqing agreed without a word. Not to mention a little wild boar, even if it were a tiger, if his son wanted to keep it, he would pull out its teeth to make it obediently play with his son.

After a few leaps among the rocks, Zhang Guoqing and his son reached the bottom of the valley, approached the brave little wild boar, and found it had already been killed with a single palm strike.

Little Ping’an pouted and looked at his dad sadly.

Zhang Guoqing helplessly scratched his head. His son didn’t mention it beforehand, otherwise, if he acted sooner, maybe he could have saved the pig.

Seeing this, Ping’an consoled him by patting him, "I was just talking. Even if I keep it, I can’t take it home, and if I did, they’d probably make us turn it in and slaughter it for meat."

The more considerate his child is, the more heartache Zhang Guoqing feels. Actually, he understands all of this. Keeping it for a few days in his hometown to make the kid happy would be nice. Sigh... raising birds or goldfish is said to be bourgeois...

"We’re rich, we’re rich, so much meat... Oh dear, how do we take it back? If I’d known, I would’ve had mom come over. Dad, think of a way quickly..."

Zhang Guoqing was pulled out of his thoughts by his son’s shouting, and he pinched his cheek with amusement, "Little money grubber!" After speaking, he looked around. One little wild boar ran off, the rest were all down.

The smell of blood here is too strong, and this is at the edge of the deep mountains. Moreover, they can’t slaughter them directly; he has to make two racks to drag them a bit farther first.

With a plan in mind, he quickly made two racks from the innocently downed trees, tied the wild animals tightly on them with branches and ropes. The black bear weighing about 700 pounds along with four wild boars approached over 2000 pounds, and hoping to carry them all at once was not possible, so he tied three boars to a tree a hundred meters away.

After finishing, Zhang Guoqing carried a black bear on his back, held his son tightly in his arms with one hand, and grabbed a 200-pound little wild boar with the other, running swiftly towards the wooden hut.

From afar, it looked like a small mountain pile, lucky that he had great strength. Even so, he was quite exhausted. By the time they reached the wooden house, the effort made him consider leaving the remaining three pigs.

Inside the hut, Zhang Guoqing heated some buns, and the father and son made do with their lunch. After a short rest, he picked up his son again, not expecting the little guy to shake his head and say, "Dad, I’ll guard the meat here. I can do it!"

Do what?

"No discussion!"

"I’m worried you’ll get tired."

Zhang Guoqing gave him a sidelong glance, "How about we leave the three pigs?" He didn’t believe his penny-pinching son would be willing.

Ping’an immediately nodded, "Alright. Having dad worn out doesn’t make sense. We can slaughter here and then go home."

Oh wow! Zhang Guoqing was truly surprised. He laughed, "You don’t mind? It’s a dollar per pound meat, how many pounds of vegetables could you buy with that?"

Ping’an, knowing his dad still remembered what he said in the morning, laughed happily, "No amount of meat is more important than my dad! You’ve worked too hard, I can’t bear it."

"Good son! Just for those words, dad has to bring the meat back."

"We have enough to eat, leave it."

"Hold tight to dad’s neck, we need to hurry, if we’re late your mom might worry."

"Dad, when can I grow up?"

"Don’t think about growing up, growing up is no fun at all."
