Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Chapter 667: Lin Quan’s Family

In the carriage, Zhou Jiao drew the word "buy" on Zhang Guoqing’s palm. Seeing his confused face, she winked at him and continued to draw: "cheap."

Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at her speechlessly but eventually nodded. In his heart, he was planning to buy mature cultivated ginseng; younger ones were no better than radish.

Zhou Jiao knew what he was thinking and said in a low voice: "No catalyst, no contamination, it’s worth it."

Zhang Guoqing nodded.

Worried that his standards were too high, Zhou Jiao, still uneasy, took out a purchase list from her pocket and handed it to him, signaling him to take a look.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at her, took it, and saw it was densely packed with small writing: items like Heshma Oil, Hericium Mushroom, Schisandra, Rhodiola, and even deer tendons and deer penises...

There were so many parts derived from deer, and also bear paw, bear gallbladder, tianma, pine nuts, soft kiwifruit, embroidered pillowcases, and so on... Luckily she remembered all these names.

If not for the presence of outsiders, Zhang Guoqing would have laughed out loud. Why didn’t his wife include the wild grasses of Changbai Mountain?

Seeing his expression, Zhou Jiao pinched a bit of meat on his waist furiously. Don’t think she didn’t notice his smiling eyes; why were they amused? Since they had come, she wasn’t planning on backing off. In a few years when the situation tightens, money will be even more useless.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Uncle Wang, who was snoring, and reassuringly patted his wife’s head, giving her a firm nod. This little wildcat sure had nimble claws!

The couple silently engaged in humorous banter as the long three-hour-plus journey eventually led the cart to a farmhouse at the foot of Dashan.

Lin Quan called out from outside the courtyard, and from inside came out a middle-aged woman with a face full of smiles. Looking at her clothes which had no patches, it was clear that Lin Quan’s family’s financial situation wasn’t bad.

Particularly when the couple mentioned their children all attending school in the town, whether boys or girls, and how Lin Quan was the only one in the production team driving the horse cart and serving as part-time accountant.

As they entered the outer house, Zhou Jiao first noticed the game hanging on the pillar and then the aroma of chicken stew with mushrooms. Upon entering the bedroom and seeing a sewing machine, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After getting familiar with Aunt Lin, learning that she worked in the town’s sewing office when not busy farming, Zhou Jiao wasn’t surprised anymore. This family’s conditions were high-class by any standard.

"Uncle, you’re growing younger by the day. Stay a bit longer this time, my father will be back soon too. Then you brothers can meet up."

Mr. Wang understood that Lin Quan’s wife’s mention of "father" referred to his older brother. His brother was used to freedom, never married in his life, adopted Lin Quan both as a son and a disciple.

Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head, "Seeing him always annoys me; where has that old fellow run off to this time?"

Aunt Lin laughed: "Haha... For the past two years, my father didn’t go out because of the bad annual conditions. Just months ago, he mentioned going to check on the little uncle."

Mr. Wang muttered: "That old devil didn’t even mention it to me. I also want to visit little brother."

Lin Quan gave his wife a look, signaling her to go out and prepare the dishes.

"Uncle, have a cup of water first. I’ve cooked your favorite chicken and mushrooms, we’ll start eating soon."
