Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 733 - 608: An Unexpected Incident Before Departure
Zhou Xiaozheng reached the time for his business trip. Before getting in the car, he gave Ping’an a few instructions. Seeing him nodding seriously, he laughed and patted his head.
Zhou Jiao was very curious about what they were talking about. Why did her son, resembling a little adult, start packing his belongings so obediently? And logically wrote a little note and stuck it on his grandmother’s door?
Lin Lishan looked at him happily, nodding repeatedly at the child’s instructions.
"Grandma, I’ll be back in a few days. If anyone bullies you while I’m not here, endure it first. I’ll stand up for you when I return. Remember that?"
"And don’t forget to bring an umbrella when you go to the grassroots, and remember to pack some cookies. Grandpa will be back in six or seven days, don’t be afraid to come back alone."
"If those old women come to find you, remember not to let them into Grandpa’s study. Sigh... forget it, just remember not to invite people over."
Lin Lishan laughed heartily.
"Be serious. I’m really worried about you like this!"
Lin Lishan held back her laughter with effort and promised, "Okay. Rest assured, I’ll remember it all."
Zhou Jiao watched them speechlessly, glanced at Zhang Guoqing, and seeing him not surprised at all, wondered if this scene happens frequently during her months away from home.
She looked at the joyful pair and gestured to Zhang Guoqing to walk with her.
Back in the bedroom, Zhou Jiao looked at him curiously.
Zhang Guoqing smiled, picked her up, and sat on the kang, "Couldn’t you tell whom our son’s tone resembles? It should be mom’s instructions every time she goes to the grassroots, and dad orders the same. He just imitates."
Hearing this, Zhou Jiao thought and laughed silently to herself.
"Do you know what Dad told him when he left this morning?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head, she didn’t have Zhang Guoqing’s hearing.
"Dad said, Ping’an, since Grandpa is out, you have to help dad hold the fort. Now you’re a little man, and the family is left to you."
Zhang Guoqing imitated, glanced at the wife in his arms, and continued, "Dad also told him to remember to protect mom, be careful, and be alert as it’s chaotic outside."
Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile. Her father really treated the five-year-old Little Douding as an adult!
"Don’t worry, it’s a good thing. It’s better to be smart than to be sold and help count money. This time back we have things to do, I’m worried he might get bullied at home."
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes. Who’s bullying whom is still uncertain!
Zhang Guoqing laughed, holding her cheeks, and kissed her repeatedly.
Zhou Jiao pinched his waist hard, felt all muscle, quickly tugged his ear, "You’re being frisky anytime!"
Zhang Guoqing protested with grievance: "If I end up with flap ears, it’s definitely your fault!"
"Cut the act!" However, she still let go and even rubbed it intentionally.
Zhang Guoqing, proud, picked her up and lay down on the kang, holding her tightly, "Take a nap!"
"Hasn’t our son come over yet?"
Zhang Guoqing hugged her tightly, "He’s such a chatterbox, still chatting. Be good, sleep quickly, it’s hard to rest on the train at night. Want me to sing a lullaby?"
"Get lost!" Zhou Jiao laughed and scolded.
"Okay, okay, I’ll leave when you sleep. Be good, sleep now."
"Fine, I’ll sleep, okay? Go check outside when Auntie and others will come over? Call me when they’re here."
Zhang Guoqing patted her back, "They said they’d come after dinner, it’s still early. Shh, no talking, I’m tired too, let’s sleep for a while."
Zhou Jiao glanced at her watch, didn’t make a sound, closed her eyes, and gradually dozed off in his arms. Half-asleep, she felt something off between her legs, and woke up with a start, eyes wide open.
"You, you..."
"Shh, sleep!"
Zhou Jiao worriedly glanced at the door and the window, gritting her teeth in a low voice: "You’re dead! Three days in the study! No, a month!"
Zhang Guoqing nodded repeatedly. Now, not three days, thirty, even three hundred sixty-five days, he’d agree. Anyway, he has ways to appease his wife! Big men can bend and stretch, fearing the wife isn’t shameful.
"Stop it!"
"Shh, be careful, they’ll hear outside."
"..."
After a while, Zhang Guoqing looked up, smugly raising an eyebrow at her, "What a contradictory little goblin." Seeing her about to get angry, he quickly coaxed, "Shh, someone’s outside."
Seeing Zhou Jiao’s aggrieved face, he found it amusing. His wife is really silly, would he dare be reckless if he hadn’t confirmed the kids were napping?
Fully awake, Zhou Jiao found it was sunset, listening to the laughter of Zhang Guoqing’s conversation with their son from the study, a smile spread on her face.
She didn’t feel like getting up for a moment, lying quietly on the kang, contemplating if there were any gaps in the upcoming travel plans or anything missing to address.
Zhang Guoqing, seeing the time, not late yet, led his son to the bedroom. Seeing her looking at him with a smile, he was secretly pleased. See! He knew his wife was just being contrary!
As Zhou Jiao got off the kang, her legs weakened and she was about to fall, caught swiftly by Zhang Guoqing, "Can’t be, I even specifically..."
Before he finished, Zhou Jiao pinched his arm hard. This idiot dares to say anything in front of their son.
Zhang Guoqing laughed dumbly, watching her legs with concern.
Zhou Jiao refrained her itching hands, sat down with a smile, and asked her son beside her, "Is everything ready?"
Ping’an glanced at his dad, who always seemed dazed seeing mom.
He nodded at Zhou Jiao, "Mom, bring fewer things. Grandpa said too much isn’t safe."
"Okay. This trip, you’re in charge. Have you sorted out the gifts for brother and sister?"
Ping’an shook his head, "I thought about it and packed them back. I’m the youngest, don’t need to give gifts to others."
True! Zhou Jiao nodded in agreement. Yet still reminded, "Don’t say this in front of outsiders."
"I won’t, I just told you and dad. Dad also said not to break the rules. If I return without gifts in the future, they’ll think I’m stingy."
"Alright, as long as you understand."
Ping’an smiled and continued, "Dad said he’s taking me to Daqing Mountain to hunt."
Zhou Jiao knew Zhang Guoqing had this idea before, and she fully supported it. More or less meat doesn’t matter, knowing how to manage life is never wrong, who knows if it might be needed in the future.
As the family of three talked, outside, Aunt Chen’s shout was heard: "Xiao Wu, there’s a call for you."
Zhang Guoqing didn’t pay attention, thinking it was Yi Jiefang and the others calling again to tell him something, he left the bedroom first to answer the phone.
Once he picked up, he heard Cheng Ruzhu talking to someone. The tone was worrisome and urgent, he uncertainly called out: "Auntie?"
"Ah, Xiao Wu, it’s aunty. I’m at the hospital now, tell Jiao Jiao that Xiao Yu can’t go with you, and I won’t see you off tonight, wishing you a safe journey ahead."
Zhang Guoqing quickly asked, "Auntie, wait, don’t hang up yet. Who’s in the hospital at home? Is it a big problem? Which hospital is it?"
