Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 76: Thoughts

In the East Wing, Guo Fu tucked the children in and lay down himself. Huang Cuilan looked at the pile of things and sorted them neatly into the box, "The kids’ dad, there’s so much stuff, we won’t need to buy fabric for clothes during the New Year. I saw how warm Xiao Wu’s brother was in the army coat, and I’ve been meaning to ask him to bring one for you. Now you won’t be cold in the winter. There’s so much stuff, later you should go to the village and see which family has mushrooms or other specialties, and purchase some in return for Xiao Wu’s mother-in-law."

Guo Fu nodded and urged her to get on the kang quickly, "I understand, besides mushrooms, dried wild chicken and rabbit meat are rare in the city. I’ll check it out later. This family seems sincere; his grandfather really hits it off with our dad. Get some rest, we’ve been busy all day and have to get up early tomorrow. Finer liquor and cigarettes that Xiao Wu gave should go to your dad; if I want some, I’ll ask him."

Huang Cuilan climbed onto the kang and playfully punched him, "You’re really something, took out so much today, there’s not much left with Xiao Wu, a bottle is enough for my dad."

"You didn’t see how much stuff there was, us guys moved it twice before it was done, both trucks were full. Damn, so much stuff, and it’s all packed tightly in cloth bags and boxes. Really is like a golden baby. Luckily, no one in the village saw. There’s two boxes of liquor, we estimated 40 bottles between me and the second brother. Be good to Jiao Jiao, the amount of stuff really builds a huge favor owed."

"I know, she’s been kind to me since she was little. She’s more likable than the second brother’s household. I’m not greedy, we should deal with things as they are."

In the second brother’s room, Guoqiang tried on the army coat, it’s really warm, "Stop looking at the stuff, pack it all up. Wash the kids first and let them sleep."

Lin Juhua packed the items into the box and, just to be sure, locked it with a key.

"Why lock it, no one in our house values your stuff, anyone coming is looking at Xiao Wu’s room." Guoqiang laughed as he watched her busy.

Lin Juhua shook her head, looking at him with grievance, "I’m not afraid of anyone except my mother coming over. I’m guessing she’ll come once she hears Jiao Jiao’s grandfather visiting. If she sees it, she’ll take it, and my Shi Tou doesn’t have many clothes yet. You tell me, did I do bad in my past life, now I don’t have a considerate family."

Guoqiang poured water into the basin, "Reincarnation is arranged by heaven. Don’t worry, if my mother is here, your mother-in-law will also be embarrassed. See if there’s anything you can give her."

"There’s nothing to give them, I looked, everything’s rare, even if you have money you can’t buy it. The fabric and cotton require a lot of tickets, this liquor is rare, lean on you for favors. I definitely can’t give it to my mother. If you married a wife like big sister-in-law or Jiao Jiao, our second house wouldn’t be the poorest, it’s all because I don’t have good fortune, my family doesn’t help, and it shouldn’t drag you down."

"The kids are so big, why say such things, I’ve never thought my wife was inferior to them. Don’t worry, I understand, you’ll have a good life."

Guoqiang thought of what Xiao Wu secretly told him today, privately amused himself, keeping a low profile.

Looking at the relations of those officials and Xiao Wu today, this kid privately gathered the county leaders’ younger generation. We used to just hear that her grandfather’s family was strong, didn’t expect them to be so mighty. Seeing those people’s attitudes today, no wonder men want to rise in ranks and get rich.

This silly kid really has silly luck. Tomorrow I’ll ask this kid if he knew marrying Jiao Jiao would lead to this day."

"Haha, I’m having a good life now, not comparing with them, foremost in the village."

Guoqiang laughed heartily, giving Lin Juhua a kiss. "I always liked this about you, knowing to appreciate what’s more and not begrudging what’s less. We don’t need to compare with others, just live our own life well."

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly returned to his room, washed and slept, tidying up quietly, he climbed onto the kang to hug his wife, finally feeling comfortable. In her sleep, Zhou Jiao smelled the familiar scent and nuzzled against his chest, Zhang Guoqing chuckled at her laziness. Carefully tucking the quilt around her, he saw his son to the right, a small lump, closing his eyes for a peaceful sleep.
