Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 728 - 603: Who Says You’re Timid?

Zhang Guoqing kept an eye on her expression and continued, "Once Dad is on a business trip, we’ll go back to our hometown. We’ll stay for a few days, let our son get familiar with them, and then we can go see another province. It shouldn’t cost much on this trip. But you need to prepare more medicine powder."

Zhou Jiao nodded happily. She knew that with Zhang Guoqing around, she didn’t have to worry about a thing. Just listen to his arrangements!

"It’s a pity you didn’t come with me this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have just managed to touch a car. You have no idea how beautiful those vintage cars are, I almost couldn’t resist reaching out for them."

Zhang Guoqing was startled by her. It seems his wife had some private stash she didn’t mention! No wonder she was eager to ship it out; it was totally out of character for her.

Zhou Jiao didn’t intend to hide anything from him. Passing through various countries, who was she?

She couldn’t really play dumb and not collect things! It was just that there was so much stuff, and too varied. After coming back, she hadn’t had the chance to say much about it, stuck under a heap of domestic issues.

Zhang Guoqing picked her up, looking at his wife whose eyes were shining in his arms, and laughed to himself quietly. People often said Ping’an took after his granny, but wasn’t it more like taking after her?

Zhou Jiao thought that if she started explaining, it would take quite some time. She took out about ten sachets. Well, now they wouldn’t hear the buzzing of mosquitoes anymore.

She gave Zhang Guoqing a mysterious smile, leaned close to his ear, and softly asked, "Want me to show you? There’s quite a lot, hard to explain."

Zhang Guoqing felt his wife’s touch at his ear, inhaled her fragrance, and his eyes darkened slightly. He took a deep breath quietly, telling himself, don’t rush! A good meal isn’t afraid of being late, first solve the task at hand. If he didn’t seize her guilty conscience, with her IQ, he wouldn’t be able to handle it!

He nodded lightly.

In the space in front of the kang stood a military truck, the very shape screamed Old Russians. The cabin was packed full of miscellaneous stuff. Hmm, with just one look, he could see a lot. Fortunately, everything else was small items. He guessed that recently the gods abroad must be busier than the Buddhas at home. Why? Listening to everyone’s prayers, of course!

"Who said you were timid?"

Zhou Jiao chuckled foolishly.

"Wife, feel my heartbeat."

Zhou Jiao laughed bashfully, "Really got scared? At first, I didn’t notice, but once I was home, I realized how a girl as upright and kind as me was almost transformed beyond recognition by capitalist society. Indeed, it’s too powerful to interact with."

Zhang Guoqing imitated her and laughed twice.

Zhou Jiao saw this, hugged his neck tighter, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Didn’t I know you like cars? Everything inside there is stuff you like."

Zhang Guoqing felt so pleased hearing that. Indeed, it was all things he liked. See, his wife loved him so much. Wherever she went, she thought of him.

Quickly, he pinched himself. No, almost fell for a honey trap!

He said with a deep tone, "But it’s really dangerous! I don’t like you taking risks for me. Even if I could, I can’t drive it on the streets, right?"

Zhou Jiao nonchalantly waved her hand, "It’s fine! Next time, when no one’s around, we can take it for a spin. I pinched quite a bit of oil, we don’t even need money, enough to mess around."

Zhang Guoqing almost burst out laughing. With things that didn’t cost anything, you don’t worry however you mess around with them.

"I actually have some ulterior motives too. If I can figure out something from these small items, draw a few technical drafts, it could also be considered a benefit for the people."

Zhang Guoqing’s gaze sharpened, "You plan to go into research?"

Zhou Jiao glanced at him sideways and laughed, "How is that possible? I might get sent who knows where if things go wrong. I’m cut out to be an unsung hero; I do not like trouble."

Zhang Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief, that’s better! As for whether the effort matched the gain, he wasn’t worried. His wife’s interest and happiness were enough!

"No need to be nervous! If it was a real big deal, wouldn’t I discuss it with you?"

Ai yoh, here it comes... Zhang Guoqing looked at her with grievance, "You went on this business trip without talking to me first!"

"Wasn’t it a special situation?"

"If you really wanted to refuse, you couldn’t have?"

Zhou Jiao guiltily touched her nose. She seemed to remember that after hearing Shi Dashen out that time, her first thought was that the foreign certificates finally had a chance!

A hint of amusement flickered in Zhang Guoqing’s eyes, and he softly spoke, "In the future, you can’t stay out of my sight for too long. Otherwise, I keep worrying that your smart self would make mistakes."

"This time’s trip, there won’t be a next. I don’t want to be away from you for too long either. Without you by my side, I feel truly unsettled. Always worrying if you’re doing well at home..."

Zhang Guoqing couldn’t let her speak more; he quickly sealed her lips with a kiss. Seeing his wife not resisting, hugging his neck tightly, he was thrilled, after all, wasn’t he the smart one!

Zhou Jiao quickly felt something was off. No wonder this man insisted she wear a dress before leaving. All that talk about nobody noticing in the dark, about long skirts suiting her temperament the best. Sima Zhao’s motive was known to everyone. Her own IQ indeed stood no chance before this man.

Zhang Guoqing looking at her rolling her eyes at him but not rejecting his actions, grinned broadly and whispered while lightly nibbling her earlobe, "Honey, you can call out loudly here, no one will hear."

Zhou Jiao reached out and grabbed, threatening, "Say that once more!"

Zhang Guoqing looked down, then raised his head and gave her an inscrutable smile, "You wait for my move!"

"Brother, I was wrong, let’s go home, our son is waiting for us."

"Don’t give me that, our son is still watching a movie right now. Shhh, don’t bother..."

"..."

In the courtyard, several silly birds on the pomegranate tree were staring at the window, where two overlapping shadows fluctuated, chirping away perplexedly.

Inside the bedroom, Zhou Jiao was clinging tightly to her man’s neck, gasping for breath, pleading, "Brother, turn off the light."

"Blundering in the dark, I might fall."

"Haha... Your excuses! Stop for a moment so I can store the car..."

Unfazed by her protests, Zhang Guoqing carried her to the center of the room, waited for her to store away her softness, then casually turned off the light, pulled back the curtains, letting in the moonlight, and looking at the glowing skin in his arms, his heart swayed...

In the night, the chorus of frogs croaked endlessly, the birds on the tree chirped crisply, strains of music from the neighboring radio drifted through, along with his wife’s gentle and pleasant voice in his embrace.

All these left Zhang Guoqing enthralled, as if in a dream.

...

In the study, Zhou Jiao lay weak in his arms, took a cup of water and gulped it down hard, belatedly pulling up the bed sheet to cover their bodies.

Zhang Guoqing’s hands roamed along her curves, as he leaned in and softly whispered, "Honey, you did great tonight, keep it up in the future."

Zhou Jiao rasped, "Don’t talk, my throat hurts."

Zhang Guoqing quickly coaxed her, "Alright, alright... I’ll speak, you listen..."

"Hmph..."

Zhang Guoqing couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you think Grand Aunt is really shrewd? She definitely knew we’re loving, and specially found us a courtyard with no tall buildings nearby, where the walls are much higher than others’."

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him fiercely. This guy, getting benefits and still playing coy!

"In the future, our second son’s nickname will definitely be Pomegranate. Seeds sown under the pomegranate tree, when they bear fruit, we should name them Pomegranate, don’t you think?"

Zhou Jiao, too exhausted to retort, ground her teeth, "Wrong, it should be Backyard!"

Zhang Guoqing didn’t dare to laugh out loud at her words. He knew his wife blamed him for the nighttime madness. But this night was too enchanting, it really wasn’t his fault.
