Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space Chapter 328 - 255: Villagers Visiting as Guests

The warm house ceremony at Zhang Chunming’s place catered to four full tables in the big courtyard. From 11:30 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon, Zhang Guoqing was busy the whole morning. He quickly toasted the elders and hurriedly rushed back ho.

Luckily, the two houses weren’t far apart. Zhang Guoqing watched Zhou Jiao finish her al and tidy up, then quickly went over to Zhang ili’s house. Initially, he thought with two older brothers handling things, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. However, Zhang Guoqing forgot that in others’ eyes, he was not the sa as before. Ever since the Second Zhang started work this week, many people noticed quite a few things.

The guests gradually left, and so of Zhang ili’s colleagues who had late shifts excused themselves after a few rounds of drinks.

So villagers began to gather around Mr. Zhang, asking where Zhang Guoqing’s house was and if it was far away.

Mr. Zhang didn’t know whether he should lead so many people ho. Just as he was about to seek help from his wife, he noticed Zhang Guoqing standing not far away, winking at him.

Understanding imdiately, Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Why ask so much? Once we’re done here, let’s head over to Xiao Wu’s place. It’ll be a good chance to get familiar with the route." After speaking, he stood up and led a few clan brothers and two relatives straight to the small courtyard.

Zhang Guoqing quickly found Ziwen and Xi Zi, instructing them to go ahead and notify Zhou Jiao to take good care of the clan mbers. He also asked Mother Zhang to head to the small courtyard first to prepare so drinks and dishes for the villagers.

After arranging for a group of family mbers to head to the small courtyard, Zhang Guoqing watched their departing figures happily and greeted Zhang ili, telling his older sister to just focus on her own tasks, as he would handle things outside. He had already made arrangents with the head chef at his second sister’s place, and now he was going to wrap things up.

Seeing Xiao Wu leave, Zhang ili felt much relieved. She never expected so many people to show up today. Thankfully, her little brother Xiao Wu had prepared thoroughly, otherwise, she would have been the laughingstock of the town.

Zhang ili warmly attended to the few sisters-in-law who didn’t lend a hand to help, but instead cracked lon seeds after the banquet. She reminded herself that her brothers helped prepare so much for her, wanting her day to be lively and vibrant, and a happy life thereafter. How could she let them down?

While listening to their sarcastic remarks, Zhang ili dealt with them while secretly noticing that several of the older brothers-in-law had also gone over to Xiao Wu’s place. She chuckled to herself; once they saw it, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Touching the two quilts with red flowers, she knew it must have been prepared by Xiao Wu the last ti he was ho, and conveyed to Zhou Jiao. This was all arranged by her sister-in-law, Zhou Jiao.

From yesterday, each receiving a hundred pounds of coal and a hundred pounds of firewood, to preparing the banquet. Not to ntion the at and vegetables, even the liquor was no small quantity. The costs of these gifts given today also weren’t minor.

This is because Zhou Jiao is easygoing. If it were the older siblings, they would have skinned Xiao Wu. Saying they borrowed 300 yuan from Xiao Wu, but they owed much more than that. From the children’s pocket money to now, she didn’t even dare to consider it.

When Zhang Guoqing arrived at his second sister Zhang ihao’s courtyard, he found that the chef had already cleaned up. And the Chen Family had their front door locked, indicating no one was inside.

He took a prepared red envelope and handed it to the chef. After expressing his gratitude several tis, he personally saw them out the door. Watching them leave, Zhang Guoqing locked the courtyard gate and hurriedly headed ho.

Upon reaching his courtyard, he was relieved to hear all the laughter inside. Not in a rush to go in, he headed to the kitchen to check. As expected, he found his mother with his two sisters-in-law and his second sister-in-law busy preparing.

Seeing him smiling widely at the doorway, Mother Zhang complained, "You silly child, what are you wandering about for? Have a drink of water. Rest assured, our Jiao Jiao is helping you entertain the guests. Go inside and check, let her take a break. She’s been busy serving tea and pouring water, and even rushed us out to prepare the food and drinks, saying we’d go back to the village together after eating. I don’t know what to say about this child, even packing up everything to take back if we can’t finish. You two are such a pair of spendthrifts!"

Zhang ihao’s mother-in-law laughed heartily, "Your Jiao Jiao is just like i Hao—very hospitable! That’s a good thing. The daughter-in-law is dutiful, giving you both sothing to be proud of. Don’t criticize the kids, it would make them feel bad."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing chuckled, saying, "Not feeling bad. My mom’s actually happy. It’s my two sisters-in-law who must be upset. They’ve been busy with my mom, but she doesn’t praise them as she does. Sisters-in-law, you’ve been wronged. I’ll have Jiao Jiao pour you so water. If you need anything, just ask her, feel free to instruct her."
