Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1146: You’re Not Planning Another Challenge, Are You?

A revolution in Yi Country, hostage crises, and the Old Russians invading other nations—all these events have piled up within six months, and their impact is undoubtedly immense.

As the whole world is enveloped in the shadow of war, military experts from various countries are raising a clamor, exclaiming the arrival of World War III.

Whether World War III is coming—after months of shouting—remains unknown, but the price of oil is indeed skyrocketing, with an unbelievable speed.

This time neither Zhou Jiao nor Zhang Guoqing let even a hint slip; they had long since exchanged gold for oil.

Not just them, but also the four in-the-know, Yi Jiefang included, kept this under wraps, not even revealing a trace to their own parents or wives.

You ask, how did Zhou Jiao find out?

Because these four have already gone insane!

"Sister, you say we’ve made so much money, why do I feel so uncertain inside? You think if I tell your sister-in-law, will she faint?"

Yi Jiefang exaggerates with tightly furrowed brows, but the smile on his face is so dazzling that Zhou Jiao could almost believe it!

"Hahaha... My wife was hesitating the other day whether to buy first-grade or second-grade cabbage, and you all say, how much cabbage can we buy?"

Zhou Jiao shoots a disdainful glance at Ding Datou.

——You big man, how would you understand the ways of managing a household with a steady hand?

"Don’t mention cabbage, I’m sick of it, but not eating it is not an option. This life really is tiresome. Recently, I had someone transport half a carload of seasonal fruits and vegetables from the South, they’ll arrive this weekend. You all remember to find a car and come over to haul them from my place."

As the train station manager, Geng Dazhi indeed has certain advantages.

Whenever there’s an empty returning boxcar, even half-empty, their unit will organize to load some specialty products for holiday and year-end benefits.

This year, the opportunity arose, so he shamelessly requested half a carload. His dad has many old acquaintances, his father’s friends are plentiful too, plus an uncle, three aunts, and three uncles and two aunts.

It’s really not enough to share!

Wan Dayong gives a thumbs up to Geng Dazhi, "Nice, truly well-off!"

"That’s right. Remember back in school drinking that pitch-black porridge, I vowed that in this lifetime I’d never lack food."

"Hahaha... Looking back, it’s quite interesting. Maybe one day we should have a meal reminiscing about the bitter and sweet times?"

"Go! Go! Go! Nothing but bad ideas. Now that we have money, we can eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk, two bowls of soy milk—one to drink and one to waste."

"Look at your aspirations!"

"Oh, you who have even greater ambitions, still have complaints?"

"Even Da Yong finds fault, and I must despise you! Why not add two buns, eat one and toss one?"

"Wow, that ambition is too grand, then toss one to me."

"..."

Seeing the five of them chatting happily, Zhou Jiao gives them space and heads into the couple’s exclusive study on the first floor.

In the past two years, plenty of foreign books and miscellaneous items have been added to the study’s bookshelves. If you look closely, international languages of all kinds are represented.

Besides the ones Zhou Jiao collected abroad, a significant portion was purchased by relatives—either cousins or siblings—thanks to Miao Tianming being situated in various parts of the world.

Actually, Zhang Guoqing understands many of the materials more than she does, given that in his past life he majored in business management and minored in finance.
