Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991: Chapter 864: Don’t Buy Things Recklessly

Leaving the basement, National Day noticed there was still some time before getting off work, so he quietly climbed onto the roof to clear the chimney and checked the fireplace and the heated kang bed-stove.

"We just took down the kang last year, everything’s fine. Sit down and rest for a bit. What do you feel like eating tonight? Mom will make it for you."

"Whatever Mom makes is delicious." National Day said with a big smile, "Dad, I’m going to say hello to Big Brother and Second Brother, and we can have a drink tonight."

"Sure, don’t go buying unnecessary stuff."

National Day chuckled and nodded.

Driving around the county twice, he finally bought some ice from the meat processing plant. He couldn’t help but sigh that the county was still too small; big cities have designated places for this.

In and out of the house, Mr. Zhang couldn’t figure out what his youngest son was up to. Anyway, judging by his actions, he likely won’t sleep well without spending some money.

After agreeing on a gathering with Brother Guofu and his siblings, National Day thought it over and decided to first swing by to see Zhao Dashan. Though the recent class strikes were unrelated to him, he planned to offer some advice out of gratitude for past support. Besides, his good buddy Zhang Yuntao was Zhao Dashan’s son-in-law, saving National Day from having to find time to see that pair.

As for Zuo Lin, after bidding farewell to Zhao Dashan, he also visited the Zuo Family. With too many eyes on them, he couldn’t say everything clearly, but he figured even a hint about staying in the county should be understood by them.

After handling these miscellaneous tasks, when National Dayreturned home, both of his sisters and their husbands had already arrived.

"Uncle, why didn’t you tell me when you were arriving? Where’s Aunt?" Zhang Ziwen rushed over as soon as he saw him, causing the kids to flock to National Day.

"I was passing by on a business trip, your Aunt still has to work. How’s work going? Nobody’s bullying you, right?"

Zhang Ziwen laughed, "My eldest uncle is Xiao Wu, who wouldn’t know?"

"Brat!"

"Uncle, you haven’t asked me yet."

National Day patted Zhang Ziwu on the forehead, "Ask what? Your Aunt said she really liked the gifts from you brothers. Don’t waste money in the future, save it for marrying wives."

Shi Tou giggled, "Uncle, a matchmaker already came looking for eldest aunt."

National Day picked him up and weighed him, "Not bad! Our Little Stone has grown up!" He still remembered when he first saw his nieces and nephews so thin they could barely hold up their necks.

Zuo You brothers walked up to him slowly, saying in unison with a laugh, "Uncle."

National Day patted the brothers, "Seeing you guys grow so tall, every time Uncle feels like he’s getting old."

"You’ve remained the same for ten years, like my Aunt, never showing any signs of aging."

"Uncle, have you seen my big brother?"

"Haven’t had time to go over there, miss your brother?"

Xiao You shook his head, "Last time he came back, he mentioned you."

"I’ll visit him tomorrow."

Mother Zhang saw them gathered in the yard and waved, "Aren’t you all hungry? Let’s eat first."

Near the corner of the yard, a small vegetable plot was filled with fruits and vegetables, lush green beside a chicken coop, with various dried vegetables hanging along the corridor.

Mr. and Mother Zhang were able to keep the youngest from depleting their stock because of the substantial supplies these provided.
