Rebirth in the 1970s with Space

Chapter 33 A Visitor at Home

Zhao Yanhong gave Zhang Qingzhu two pairs of shoes she made and some vegetables from the garden. She asked Zhang Qingzhu to go home to get them before the vegetables in the garden grew well, as there were a lot of vegetables at home, so she should not be too shy.

The shoes were for Zhang Qingzhu to wear while working, and she said that if Zhang Qingzhu felt comfortable wearing them, she would make shoes for him. Anyway, making shoes was a simple thing for her.

Shen Yuzhen was relieved to see that Zhao Yanhong only gave her two pairs of shoes. If Zhao Yanhong gave her more things, she would feel a little outdone if she only gave her a skirt, but now it was just right.

Shen Yuzhen quickly took out the skirt she had brought, saying that it was a new style skirt recently and she hoped Zhang Qingzhu would like it. In addition to the skirt, Shen Yuzhen also brought two headbands and two head flowers.

These are the most popular styles nowadays, and they are all in short supply. If her sister-in-law hadn't worked in the provincial capital department store, Shen Yuzhen wouldn't have been able to have these.

Zhang Qingzhu saw the headband and the flower and felt that these should be prepared by Shen Yuzhen for her own child. When she came back, she sent them to her to make up the number

She went back to her room and took out some hair flowers and hair bands that she had bought at the small commodity market before the end of her previous life for Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen to choose from. She said they were for them to wear back home and that they didn't need to be polite to her, as she liked their gifts very much. She also told Zhao Yanhong that she could bring some back for Grandma Zhang as well, and told Shen Yuzhen to pick some for her daughter as well.

Women are always interested in these things no matter how old they are. Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen happily picked out a few hairpins and hairbands they liked and went back.

When she came, Shen Yuzhen was a little reluctant to part with the things she had brought. When she left, she had no such feelings at all. The things Zhang Qingzhu brought out were all new styles that were not available here, and she would gain a lot of face by wearing them.

Zhang Qingzhu thought that Zhang Cai's family didn't send these, so she told Zhang Qingsong that they would go for a walk in the village and give Zhang Cai's family some hair cards. As for her aunt's family, if they sent gifts in return, she would give them, and if they didn't, she would think that she was too busy when she came back and forgot about them.

In this way, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong went to the village together to find their way and gave away their hair bands. On the way back, they also exchanged a piece of tofu for a tofu maker in the team and caught a fish from the river when they passed by.

When I got home, it was time for lunch. I cooked rice and sweet potato rice, and made fish stew with tofu with the fish I caught and the tofu I bought. I also added the side dishes and sauces that Zhang Cai sent, and the tender wild vegetables that I picked when I was cleaning the vegetable garden in the morning, and had a delicious meal.

The fish in the river was so delicious. Zhang Qingzhu hadn't eaten this kind of pure natural fish for a long time. He hadn't thought of eating fish in the space, so Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong were full at this meal.

Because it was too hot at noon, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong prepared to go to the mountain next to their home to pick up some firewood after dinner. It was also a way to digest the food after the meal. They ate too much at noon, so they needed to take a walk to digest the food. Picking firewood does not require strenuous exercise, and it is close to home, just outside the door, which is very convenient.

Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong sat and rested for a while after finishing their meal, then filled the kettle with tea and prepared to go out. The two went up the mountain mainly to digest their food and check the environment of the mountain around the yard.

Zhang Qingzhu planned to plant mutant plants around the yard to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants. Then she would plant a circle inside the yard wall. In this way, these things would not appear in her yard.

In the mountain village, there are a lot of mosquitoes in this season. She went into the space to sleep last night, but she couldn't stay in the space all night. So when she lived outside, she had to consider the problem of mosquitoes.

Last night in the space, she prepared medicine to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, and made a lot of sachets. This is to be able to repel those mortal insects at any time. In places with lush vegetation, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Mosquito repellent medicine and anti-inflammatory and anti-itching ointment are also necessary.

Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong did not go far, but walked around the yard, picking up some dry wood and branches nearby and bringing them back. Then they looked around the yard to see if the raspberries they had planted before were ripe, and if so, picked some to eat.

Because her yard is surrounded by raspberries, many children would come and pick the ripe fruits and take them home to eat. So it is not certain that there will be ripe ones, it depends on luck.

Today, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong were lucky. There was a large patch of ripe red raspberries planted on the slope outside the backyard wall. The two hurriedly picked them. If they were slow, there might be none left tomorrow.

These fruits are not only eaten by children in the village, but also by small animals in the mountains. While Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong were happily picking raspberries, Zhang Tiantian came with He Weihong.

Zhang Tiantian and He Weihong came to return the gift after Zhang Qingzhu and the others left. They didn't have the patience to wait and see, and went home directly after seeing that the door was locked. That's it. The two groups of people missed each other by chance.

Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong picked some raspberries and then walked back. When Zhang Qingsong was not paying attention, Zhang Qingzhu planted some mutant plants that could repel snakes, insects, rats and ants where she passed.

These mutant plants were all sub-class species. They just had more functions than ordinary plants, and without the support of supernatural powers, these plants would wither and die. Therefore, Zhang Qingzhu was not afraid that they would become alien species and occupy the living space of existing local plants.

After returning home, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong continued to tidy up the vegetable garden. They stopped when the sun was setting, rested for a while, and started to cook and eat.

In the following days, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong had been tidying up the vegetable garden at home. They only went to the mountain to collect some firewood when it was too hot at noon. After several days of hard work, they finally tidied up the two vegetable gardens, and the only thing left was to plant vegetables.

While the two of them were working hard, the village also had a lot of topics about Zhang Qingzhu. In recent days, several families related to Zhang Qingzhu have become the protagonists of daily gossip in the village.

The rumor that Zhang Qingzhu gave Zhang Bo's pension to Grandma Zhang was spread by the eloquent people in the village in more than ten versions. Each version was brilliant and full of ups and downs. Even the Zhang family was stunned after hearing the rumor.

Version 1, which is the version closest to the truth, is as follows: Zhang Qingzhu took Zhang Bo's pension to find Zhang's grandmother as soon as she came back, and the mother and daughter sat together and cried for a long time.

After crying, Grandma Zhang kept Zhang Bo's pension and subsidy receipt for Zhang Qingzhu. Grandma Zhang told Zhang Qingzhu that she would use Zhang Bo's pension as a dowry for Zhang Qingzhu when she got married.
