Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876: Chapter 749: Divine Assistance Bow

Zhang Guoqing, holding his son, entered the Cheng Family house. An aunt at home saw him and immediately said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Cheng was just wondering if you had come back. Hurry inside."

In the living room, Old Mrs. Cheng, wearing reading glasses and stretching her arms straight, was flipping through a book. Upon hearing the noise, she put down the book and looked at the father and son with a smile as they entered.

Ping’an got down from his father’s arms, took small steps forward, and said: "Great-grandmother, I’ve come to take you for dinner. Dad says it’s all women today, and you need to host."

Old Mrs. Cheng laughed heartily, helping him sit by her side: "Is grandma’s visit making you happy?"

"Yes, happy. It’s a pity my grandpa didn’t come. When will Auntie come back?" Ping’an referred to Auntie as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng Family, Liu Xiu. He decided on this title himself, Cheng Ruzhu is Auntie, so Liu Xiu became Auntie. Cheng Sijin naturally follows as Uncle.

Zhou Jiao wasn’t sure if this was correct, but since Old Mrs. Cheng didn’t correct him, she let her son call them as he wished. For instance, with Uncle Wang and others, Ping’an named them according to his order as Fifth Grandpa, Sixth Grandpa.

The elders didn’t hesitate to bribe Ping’an with treats to change the order.

"She won’t be back until the end of work."

The little guy shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "What a pity."

Old Mrs. Cheng laughed until she bent over: "Where did you learn that?"

Ping’an proudly straightened his back: "Grandpa took me to a gathering, and I learned it from others there. But my mom doesn’t allow me to use it casually in front of outsiders."

"Oh? What requirements has she given you?"

Ping’an raised his left hand, using his right hand to count his fingers one by one as he talked: "There are many. First, eating and drinking soup can’t make noise; second, no crude language; third, no slouching, legs mustn’t shake...and many more. Mom says I’m growing up and must pay attention to etiquette."

"You should learn well, and if you don’t understand, just watch Grandpa and your dad."

"Auntie, you’re praising me." Zhang Guoqing pretended to help her stand, "My mother wanted to visit you but I stopped her. We’re not that distant relatives, why be so formal. Don’t you think?"

"Yeah, well said. I’m in good health. Carry the child, let’s go." Old Mrs. Cheng refused his help, pointing to Ping’an.

To not delay Huang Xiaomi from returning to the train unit, Zhou Jiao specially made dinner earlier today.

In the kitchen, Aunt Chen pondered over the dry goods brought over by Mother Zhang, racking her brains. Too simple would not do justice to those three sacks, too fancy would be inappropriate.

After much pondering, she managed to prepare four dishes and one soup: casserole cabbage tofu, potato stewed ribs, stir-fried cucumber slices, stir-fried snow red greens, and vinegar cabbage.

Upon seeing the dishes on the table, Old Mrs. Cheng remained calm, intentionally glanced at Zhou Jiao, wondering what was going on. Just one meat dish, what’s happening?

She couldn’t believe the house lacked food.

Zhou Jiao stepped forward to support her, gesturing towards Mother Zhang’s side.

Old Mrs. Cheng was surprised to see her in-laws smiling from the heart, then watched Aunt Chen bringing out a pot of mixed flour buns. She discreetly exchanged with Mother Zhang them, attentively watching their behavior.

"I’ve heard Brother Zuo’s father is a high official, his brother too. Where are they living now?"

"They live outside in a big courtyard."

"Their family even has two big officials, are they higher ranked than your father-in-law?"
