Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 14

When Zhao Tiesheng arrived at the hospital, he said to Zhao Da'e, "Da'e, your grandfather agreed. He said that your mother will move into the main house after she is discharged from the hospital."

Zhao Da'e nodded and agreed to go inside the fence to testify and get his own grandmother, Wang Guixiang, out.

However, since Wang Guixiang had already been inside for four or five days, it wouldn't make a difference if she stayed any longer. Zhao Da'e went to the hospital cafeteria and bought some steamed buns, millet porridge, and a dish of pickled cucumbers for his mother to eat first.

After Cheng Jinxiang drank a bowl of porridge and ate a steamed bun, Zhao Da'e brought hot water and made her a cup of soy milk powder.

Actually, Zhao Da'e didn't know whether this soy milk powder contained any milk at all. However, it was already the most nutritious product available in the nearby supermarket; other options, if possible, included black sesame paste or oatmeal.

At that time, supermarkets did not carry pure milk or proper milk powder. I guess the supermarket owners also felt that the local area was too poor to stock such expensive goods, and if they could not sell them, they would be stuck with them.

In the area where Zhao Da'e lives, newborns, only a month or two old, will survive on rice gruel if they don't have enough to eat. Just staying alive is enough; there's really no milk for sale in the surrounding villages, even if you have money.

Zhao Da'e simply ate a steamed bun, made do with a bite, then washed up and went to the police station with Zhao Tiesheng.

"Name?"

"Zhao the Goose".

"age?"

"Six years old."

"Gender: Female. The case you reported initially, saying that a human trafficker had kidnapped your sister, was investigated and evidence was collected. The woman in red, named Chu Mougui, is indeed a human trafficker. She is extremely guilty, having abducted more than a dozen children. In the past two days, through cooperation with people from other places, we have found two children and sent them home. Zhao Da'e, you have done a great service."

"what?!"

Zhao Da'e let out a startled "Ah!"

"What do you mean, 'oh'? You've done a great job." The man sitting on the stool, dressed in a clean suit and wearing glasses, looked serious and earnest. The middle-aged man appeared to be in his thirties, unsmiling, and exuding an aura of righteousness.

He stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhao Dage: "Want to try some Longjing tea from this year's autumn rains?"

Zhao Da'e didn't answer: "Sorry, I don't drink green tea. I only drink black tea."

The middle-aged man with glasses paused for a moment, then smiled and turned to pour himself another cup of black tea.

“Young lady, you are brave and resourceful, with amazing courage. It’s rare to see you so calm and composed here. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Kuang Shouyi, and I’m the head of things here. Everyone calls me Head Kuang. But let’s not talk about that. You can call me Uncle Kuang from now on,” Kuang Shouyi said with a smile.

Zhao Da'e curled his lip: "Don't try to take advantage of me. At most, I'll call you Brother Kuang from now on. Calling you Uncle is obviously too old for you. How old are you? Only in your thirties. Calling you Uncle would make you seem old, which doesn't suit your status. Secondly, all the uncles in my family are a bunch of cowards, all born afraid of their wives. If you're also afraid of your wife, then I'll call you Uncle Kuang. If you're not afraid of your wife, I can only call you Brother. And don't even think about taking advantage of me, bullying me just because you're a few years older than me."

You should go back and ask around. Your mother's mother's sister's daughter, who is your cousin, right? Your cousin's uncle and sister-in-law live in our village. I call her "elder sister-in-law." So, Xiao Kuang, I can't call you "uncle" or "brother." I have to affectionately call you "nephew."
