Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 813

Chapter 813: Chapter 687: The Weight of One Jin of Wu Hua Pork

Zhou Jiao didn’t say anything to discourage them and followed Qingshan’s wife’s lead, going with several of her cousins to the middle of the village, to Zhang Tiezhu’s house.

Before they even got close, the courtyard enclosed by bamboo fences was already filled with village elders and children, each buzzing with their own words, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

"There’s really no way around it. The old Han next door had long agreed with me to borrow half a pig with him, he’ll repay us after they slaughter their pig at year-end. Everyone can come over for a drink tomorrow, sorry about that."

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Tiezhu, who was about her father-in-law’s age. With a smile on his face, he clasped his hands apologetically to everyone. He looked like a true head of the household!

"That’s what you said, how much wine is prepared for tomorrow?"

Those present followed along in good-natured teasing.

Zhang Tiezhu, seeing this, responded with a beaming smile, "Not much, not much. How about we treat water as wine?"

Those present understood these chops and all laughed and joked a few times.

Qingfeng’s wife looked disappointedly at the pig on the door plank, "Even half a pound would do."

Zhou Jiao knew it was pointless, tugged at a few of them, planning to leave.

"Look again, isn’t there still half a pig left? Uncle Zhuzi’s family can’t use that much."

Oh dear, this is relentless.

Zhou Jiao smiled and halted her steps that were ready to leave, standing quietly in place, observing everyone around her.

"Aunt, could you spare some meat?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Tiezhu looked eagerly at her old partner. She feels that the old man shouldn’t have agreed to Old Han next door so soon. Pay back the pig at year-end? How could that be the same? Would the team lack pigs for the year?

Surrounded by family members, there’s always mutual support in times of need, no favors should go to those with different surnames. If it weren’t for Old Han saving him when he was young, she would have slammed the table back then!

Nearby, a few households hollered for the fathers and kids to eat, except for some genuinely wanting to buy a bit of meat to satisfy family cravings, the crowd gradually began to disperse.
