Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 732 - 607: You Still Need More Practice!

The smell of stir-fried field snails drifted in the kitchen, and soon the few people in the west wing lost interest in playing cards, each tearing off the paper strips from their faces and counting.

Actually, they didn’t even need to look to know whose face had the most.

Yi Jiefang nonchalantly threw away the paper strips, pulling Ding Datou by his side and wrapping an arm around his shoulder, "Alright, stop counting. Let’s go to the service club."

Ding Datou whispered in his ear, chuckling, "Wait a bit, Brother Dayong’s pockets aren’t empty."

The two troublemakers raised their eyebrows and together pounced on Wan Dayong to search him, grabbing two yuan and dashing off.

Wan Dayong slumped on the kang incredulously asked everyone, "I believe I won, right?"

Everyone nodded and laughed heartily.

Geng Dasheng laughed muffledly, "You’re lucky we left you some change."

When Zhou Jiao came over with the pregnant woman, Aunt Chen also brought a large plate of stir-fried field snails, and Yi Jiefang and Ding Datou finally ran back to the door holding a bunch of stuff.

Looking at the things they were carrying, everyone knew well that two yuan wouldn’t be enough, they played just for fun.

Yi Jiefang chuckled, "We cleaned out all the food in the service club. How’s that? Aren’t we brothers to the bone?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at the pig offal, canned food, two red sausages, and two barrels of draught beer and laughed, "Must’ve spent a lot of good words, huh? Planning not to live after this?"

"Enjoy the moment with the drinks at hand."

"Xiao Wu, I ran out of meat coupons."

Zhang Guoqing gave Yi Jiefang a sideways glance, "Give me a break. How many meat coupons do two red sausages need?"

"Don’t worry about that! Consider today your send-off party, won’t you feel embarrassed coming back empty-handed?"

Fang Fei, having tended to his wife, nodded in agreement, "Exactly. Bring back some dried game meat."

"Even dried fish would do if there’s nothing else."

Zhang Guoqing looked around, smiled, and nodded, "So this is where you guys are waiting for me. Alright! If there’s none at Daqing Mountain, I’ll head to Changbai Mountain to meet your needs."

Yi Jiefang couldn’t even eat, hurriedly asked, "Really going to Changbai Mountain? Then I want to sign up!"

Wan Dayong quickly pulled him to sit down, "Don’t trouble yourself, going there would only cause chaos. Just wait at home."

"How am I causing chaos? Can’t we carry meat over there?"

"Da Yi, hurry. Eat the meat first, then we’ll talk about how to carry the meat later."

Outside, Ping’an was going to peek inside, but hearing the commotion, he whispered to Yu, "Look at them, still acting like grown men. All they think about is food every day, absolutely hopeless."

Yu asked in a low voice, "Then if I don’t want to eat, can I come with you?"

Ping’an looked him over and after a while, shook his head, "You don’t want to. You still need more practice!"

Yu stared blankly at him as he ran off with his little legs, utterly annoyed, and hurried to chase, "How can you be so selfish? Are we good buddies or not?"

Ping’an slyly smiled, "Wrong, we’re not buddies, you’re my elder. This little master is just respecting the old!"

Yu put on a dismal face, "Kid, take your elder with you, alright? I haven’t been to such a faraway place yet."

"No way. Your family won’t agree."

"Can you help me think of a plan?" Yu looked at the little guy’s face feeling hopeful, quickly praising him, "In my family, you’re the smartest, you can surely come up with a way, right?"

Ping’an haughtily raised his chin, imitating the old men walking with hands behind his back, silently and leisurely heading towards the living room.

Yu scratched his short hair, what does that mean? More praise needed?

Following Ping’an, he thought and thought, "Forget it, forget it, a little brat like you can’t come up with anything. I’ll just find Brother-in-law..."

Ping’an suddenly turned around, angrily shouted, "Who’s a brat? Who can’t come up with a plan?" After speaking, seeing Yu’s triumphant smile, he snorted and walked away.

Yu silently praised his grandpa’s brilliance, it truly works better to tease than to ask for help! He quickly dashed forward, smoothing things over. This brat’s only flaw is his big temper!

After everyone had their fill, they each went home to find their moms, Zhang Guoqing also returned to the living room with Zhou Jiao. As soon as they came in, they saw the two kids reading books.

The couple looked at each other in surprise. Did the sun rise from the west? Usually, Yu isn’t this obedient.

Zhang Guoqing walked up with a smile, watching the two of them.

Ping’an looked up, "Dad, has everyone left?"

"Yes. Have you eaten?"

Yu glanced at Ping’an’s expression, nodding with a smile.

"Is the children’s newspaper interesting?"

"It’s alright!"

"Just bored with nothing to do!"

Ping’an took a glance at his little cousin and said to Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, I want little uncle to go back home with me."

Zhang Guoqing looked at the two children, "You’ll need the approval of your Uncle Xiao Yu’s family."

Yu urgently tugged at Ping’an.

"Dad, I want little uncle to come with me."

Seeing his son persistently asking, and with Yu looking pleadingly, Zhang Guoqing couldn’t bear to disappoint the kids. Besides, having a small kid along would be alright.

He looked around, noticing his wife had left, he quickly said, "Hurry to your mom, tell her you’re afraid of getting bullied going back alone."

Ping’an’s eyes moved around, "I know what to say."

Yu looked at him with hope as he ran away, asking Zhang Guoqing, "Brother-in-law, will it work?"

Zhang Guoqing nudged him, "You go too and tell your sister that you’ll definitely behave and not cause trouble. She’ll surely agree!"

Yu happily dashed outside. He knew his brother-in-law was the best, always understanding what they wanted!

Zhang Guoqing smiled, touching his chin.

Having them back would be great, this time going to the provincial city with the two little brothers-in-law and the nephews from home would allow these little rascals to go wild, while he and his wife could enjoy some couple time... wrong, to handle business!

Zhou Jiao amusedly watched her son acting obediently and pleasingly, then looked at her little cousin’s anxious face, finally smiling and nodding, but added, "I’ll discuss with your mom later. If she doesn’t oppose, I’ll take you with us."

Yu jumped up with joy, "My mom will surely agree!" Then he quickly added, "Sis, don’t tell my brothers about it, or I won’t be able to leave."

Zhou Jiao patted his head, "You little rascal."

"Sis, remember to tell my mom early."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget. It’s hot here, quickly go with Ping’an to the living room."

Aunt Chen waited for the kids to walk away before asking, "Do you really not need me to go back with you? Can you manage with all those kids?"

"No, take this time to go back and spend some days relaxing with your family."

Zhou Jiao hurriedly declined. She agreed to her son’s request just now, seeing Yu needing some nourishment and for someone to accompany her son, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed, especially since this time back, she planned to be away for a few days. If Aunt Chen were to come along, the secret would be out.
