Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820: Chapter 693: Miao Family’s Complicated Relationships

Zhou Jiao handed him a cup of tea. This honest man had been talking for so long, wasn’t he afraid of getting thirsty?

"Thank you, little sister." Miao Zhicheng happily smiled at her and then turned his gaze to Lin Lishan. Wow! How did his aunt give birth to such a beautiful sister?

"It’s okay to talk later. Are you hungry?"

Miao Zhicheng shook his head, "I just had a bowl of noodles earlier, so I’m fine."

"You silly child!"

"Aunt, I have to talk to you about serious matters first."

Lin Lishan smiled and nodded. This nephew was nothing like Lin Dingsheng and the others, but she still found this kid likable.

"Aunt, it’s fortunate you didn’t go back first. The last time people from the county came with gongs and drums making a fuss, it was unbelievable. They said my grandfather was a martyr and wanted to posthumously honor him. But it’s not ancient times. My father and I went to the county the next day to refuse.

Later, a retired old cadre hinted to my father to stay home and farm honestly, and not to mess around with those people. But the two elder uncles at home didn’t think so, they came to our house and made a scene, and their wives grabbed my mother, insisting she was causing trouble. It was my second sister who rushed home with a broom to chase them away."

Zhang Guoqing listened silently, contemplating a thought: could it be that after sending off the baby girl back then, this family had no girls except in the house of the adopted son?

For instance, not hearing about any aunt or anything.

"My mom said if you’re doing well in the city, then don’t come back. Those people dream every day about you coming back to help. What if they kneel and beg you, crying?

Oh, she said this by the way, ’The eldest family has five sons, the second one has three, each getting only five work points a day, can’t even compare to the old women in the team. All the wives they married are lazy. The house is so messy you can’t even step in. Tell your aunt not to be soft-hearted, those are all bottomless pits.’ Aunt, do you know what five work points mean?"

The room burst into laughter.

Zhang Guoqing pointed at himself, "I came from the village. Ten work points are nothing."

"I often visit grassroots, know them well."

Miao Zhicheng nodded, "That’s good. As long as you understand! My father thinks if grandma were still alive, outsiders might remember the past and stop those two families from pretending insanity. But if you come back in glory, they’ll think we’re all family and need to help each other. So before I came, my mom asked me to take a look, if you’re doing well, then don’t come back."

Lin Lishan playfully teased, "So, do you think your aunt is doing well or not?"

Miao Zhicheng stared at her speechlessly, "Aunt, I graduated high school! I’m about to be a college student! This is my first time in Beijing, I’m just not used to it. In our county, I’m a big shot."

Oh my, hearing this honest kid say such a thing really made them laugh.

Stopping his laughter, Zhang Guoqing picked up the luggage from the floor, "Let’s go, big shot. I’ll take you for a bath and find you a place to stay."

"Brother-in-law Xiao Wu..."

"Xiao Wu!"

"Alright, Xiao Wu. I haven’t finished talking to my aunt."

Zhang Guoqing, holding the luggage, looked at him amused and signaled him to hurry up.
