Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659: Chapter 535: Zhou Xiaozheng’s Thoughts

Zhang Guoqing rode back to the Big Courtyard with a big smile on his face, cheerfully greeting everyone he met. Everyone asked if something good had happened to him.

Something good? Zhang Guoqing wanted to burst out laughing. Just now he couldn’t laugh out loud in front of minors; that would spoil his image as a big brother.

There are so many strange things in the world. Truly eye-opening!

Whenever he thought of how his wife narrowly escaped death, he wished he could stab that wicked woman. What goes around comes around, and now she finally falls into his hands.

Hmm, he has to put in some effort to prevent anyone from running back to the Northwest.

Life is too boring; it’s time to add some fun. How else can he relieve his resentment?

"Xiao Wu, you’re back? Where did you run off to again, why didn’t you eat before going out?" Lin Lishan asked with a smile, standing in the kitchen doorway.

Zhang Guoqing’s eyes flickered. How could he forget this routine? Looks like he’ll have to plan carefully and not hurt his mother-in-law.

"Mom, have you eaten yet? Where’s Dad?"

"He just got back too, you two are really busy. I’m cooking noodles, you and your dad can have another bowl."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Aunt Chen, who was shaking her head behind her, and smiled as he nodded—looks like the noodles had gone through another process. His mother-in-law was quite skilled; the noodles could be unevenly thick, and if it were dumplings, nine out of ten might break.

"Mom, fry me an egg. It’s okay if it’s not fully cooked, just don’t burn it. I’ll wait inside." Zhang Guoqing said with a chuckle and went inside.

Lin Lishan scolded playfully, "This brat always remembers I can’t fry eggs well."

Aunt Chen couldn’t help but laugh quietly. As if you only can’t fry eggs? Occasionally, even boiled eggs might not be fully cooked.

Zhou Xiaozheng was chatting softly with his daughter and, seeing him come in with a smile, thought of the latest info he had received, and his lips curled up.

This silly boy thinks he doesn’t know that bastard is after Gu Ruyi. If it weren’t for him letting it happen, how could that bastard have gotten an introduction letter?

This time he planned to let a fish out to stir the waters. Some things needed ending, and some people needed leaving, to avoid bumping into them all the time and getting mood swings.

Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t intend to give hints either and just played around with the kids. As for that little girl out Northwest, her purpose was over, but leaving her there for his son-in-law to practice could be fine too.

Ping’an waved at Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, let’s talk about something serious."

Zhang Guoqing suppressed his laughter and walked up to him, "Alright, let’s talk. What’s on your mind?"

Ping’an looked around and seeing the adults weren’t joking about, he felt reassured, "I’ve been quite troubled recently. I feel like I should be going to elementary school, but when I asked Auntie, she said I need to be at least seven."

"Indeed, you need to grow up first. We’re not in a hurry. What you learn from Grandpa is more extensive and profound than what you learn at school."

Ping’an glanced at him distressfully, "Another big matter is troubling me too. Sister Xiao Wanzi actually said she wants to marry me when she grows up. Then Sister Fatty fought with her, saying whoever wins gets to marry me."

Zhang Guoqing pinched his thigh to hold back laughter: "So who won in the end?"

Ping’an clenched his fists and raised his arm, "I don’t want either of them, so I beat them up, and this way, no one has to be my wife."

Zhang Guoqing gave him a thumbs up, "You’re awesome!"

Believing he understood Zhou Jiao’s underlying meaning, Ping’an blinked his big eyes and nodded at her seriously.

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhou Xiaozheng, who was smiling beside her, "Dad, thank you for the hard work."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head, "No hard work. The kid is smart, no need for me to explain everything, he’ll figure many things out on his own."

Zhou Jiao held onto her dad’s arm and said no more. There was no need for such politeness between them. Her dad definitely put a lot of effort into Ping’an. She grew up under pressure from her environment, while Ping’an, never going through any setbacks, needed someone to constantly remind and guide him.

Zhang Guoqing hugged Ping’an with a heartwarming feeling; his son really had it rough. To see such a tiny person having to think about this, weigh that. It looked like he had to work harder to make sure the kid could live more freely and carefreely. So when the time came for him to rely on his dad, he could act as he pleased.

Luckily, Zhang Guoqing’s unconditional pampering was backed by Zhou Jiao. Otherwise, there might have been some consequences in the future.

After eating the noodles—this time the egg wasn’t burned, Zhang Guoqing suspected that Aunt Chen’s strong assistance played a big part. However, seeing his mother-in-law’s face looking for praise, he gave a thumbs-up. That’s why he really didn’t need a daughter; sons were better, and sons were so much smarter!

With his divine logic, godly ideas, and enigmatic confidence, when Zhang Guoqing took his wife and son back to the room, he was still contemplating how to explain Lin Xuelin’s actions.

—Mustn’t gross out his wife.

Zhou Jiao quickly grasped the situation after analyzing his muddled words. She was at a loss for words; how stupid a brain must that be?

Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by their burrow. With her shrewd uncle, he had the intent but not the guts, so how could he dare accept the other’s advances?

She really wanted to dig into Lin Xuelin’s pig-like brain to see if her brain nerves were different from others.
