Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 56

Before leaving, Zhao Tingming asked Zhao Da'e, "Da'e, what are you going to do? Your mother went back to her parents' home, why didn't she take you with her?"

Zhao Da'e smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. I'll go stay at my aunt's house for a few days, then I'll stay at your house for a few days, and then I'll stay at my second aunt's house for a few days. I'm thick-skinned, I can handle it."

Zhao Tingming sighed: "If there's anything you need, just come find me."

Zhao Da'e nodded, then followed Zhao Tingming out of the yard and strolled over to his aunt Cheng Jinxi's house.

Zhao Da'e knew perfectly well that the Zhao family was dirt poor, and his indecisive, mama's boy father would be completely bewildered in a few days. If Cheng Jinxiang could hold out for half a month without returning, the entire Zhao family would be thrown into chaos.

Even if Wang Guixiang disagreed, she couldn't resist the sheer number of people.

Zhao Tingming has several brothers, and regardless of whether they are blood brothers, who can bear to see Zhao Tiesheng remain a bachelor?

We definitely can't just stand by and watch. They'll surely come and lecture Zhao Tiesheng and Zhao Tingxu, giving them a lesson.

Moreover, Zhao Da'e's uncle is still around. Every now and then, his uncle will bring a few brothers over to cause trouble, which would be perfect.

The Zhao family will never have a moment of peace; it's a constant state of chaos.

Zhao Da'e was secretly pleased: I refuse to believe that I can't handle these guys.

However, Zhao Da'e didn't want to always go to her aunt's house empty-handed. After thinking about it for a while, she secretly went home and took out ten catties of pork, which she had bought at the market last time. Zhao Da'e carried the pork and also grabbed two chickens, and went to her aunt's house.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'm here again!" Zhao Da'e shouted loudly before even entering the door.

“Your aunt went to see your mother off.” Uncle Zhou Yuren came out and said with a smile, “You see, your aunt went to see what was going on at your family’s house this morning, but seeing that nothing was wrong, she didn’t say anything. Later, she went back to her parents’ home with your mother and your aunt.”

Zhao Da'e was stunned for a moment: "Oh no, Uncle. I've also lost your wife. Sorry..."

Uncle Zhou Yuren laughed heartily: "Silly child."

"Where's my older sister?" Zhao Da'e asked.

"Chunwen, your little goose sister is here," Uncle Zhou Yuren called out.

The Zhou family has two daughters and one son. The son, Zhou Tianfu, is eighteen or nineteen years old this year. The eldest daughter, Zhou Chunwen, is sixteen. The second daughter, Zhou Chunhong, is fourteen.

Zhou Chunwen was chubby and short, wearing a pair of tall cotton shoes. He came running out: "Big Goose, what do you want?"

"I'm asking you to cook." Zhao Da'e handed the pork and rooster to his eldest sister, Zhou Chunwen. "Am I supposed to cook?"

"My aunt and my mom have both gone back to their parents' home. Of all of us, you're the only one who can cook. If you don't cook, are you going to make my second sister cook?"

Zhou Chunwen curled her lip: "Give me a break, your second sister's cooking is so bad it could poison a dog."

Then Zhou Chunwen went to cook.

Zhao Da'e helped add firewood, so at least he had something to do.

"Where's my older cousin?"

“My brother. I don’t know where he went. I guess he went to collect scraps. Who knew he went out with Tianjun and his third brother,” Zhou Chunwen said.

"Hey goose, I'm in a really good mood today. How about I make you some pancakes later?"

Zhao Da'e thought for a moment and said, "I was thinking of having pork stew with vermicelli, but your pancakes aren't very appetizing. But since you're in a good mood, I can't refuse you. How about this, you can make a chicken stew with mushrooms later, and then make pancakes."

"Um... there are no mushrooms. Where am I supposed to find mushrooms for you in the dead of winter?" Zhou Chunwen said helplessly.

"Aren't there plenty of mushrooms on this mountain? Didn't you go pick some and dry them?" Zhao Da'e asked in confusion.
