Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Chapter 875: The Three Penniless Brothers

The south-facing room furthest inside on the second floor had curtains hanging from the windows on the side and the main southern direction, fluttering in the night breeze.

Ping’an was the first to turn on the light. In the view, the central one-and-a-half-meter long, eighty-centimeter wide solid wood simple desk and stool divided the room into two areas.

The area from the south window down to fifty centimeters in front of the desk had a bamboo bed without "legs" tightly laid against the corners of the walls on both sides. Judging by its length and width, it must have been custom-made.

At this point, Yu didn’t understand that a small country popularized this kind of tatami. To avoid later giving others leverage, Zhou Jiao intended to reform it.

—Cool in summer, and a layer of mattress added in winter, it was for the children to rest and play.

The remaining large section from the desk to the inner wall, the wall facing the south window, had bookshelves running one row deep from waist level to the wall, all open.

Besides a whole row of handmade military cars, trucks, tanks, etc. made from bullet casings, there were also trophies from Ping’an, the little friend.

Starting from the second row downwards, there were some iconic illustrated children’s books and magazines, all arranged for the three children to easily pick up.

On the blank section of the half wall, there hung a piece of finely mounted flowing cursive script.

If Mr. Cheng were here, or anyone with some literary knowledge, they would surely see from the signature seal that this was a gift personally written by the Chairman.

Moreover, under the orange-yellow light, the most eye-catching was a splash of brilliant colors adorning the interior, full of childlike fun.

—In the inner corner against the wall were six different colored wooden boxes, which could serve as stools and store toys and small items.

Zhou Jiao didn’t worry about her sons not being strong enough to move them and painted the boxes in vibrant colors like orange-yellow, egg yellow, grass green, dark green, light blue, and dark blue according to their preferences. Now, each son had two favorite boxes, which was very fair.

"Wow, brother-in-law, I’ll just sleep here in the future."

Zhang Guoqing broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this and instinctively looked at the three children. Luckily, the little ones were gleefully watching the commotion and didn’t respond.

"Little Ping’an, quickly take me to your room for a look."

Ping’an glanced at Yu, avoided the topic, and looked at Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, you don’t need to stay with us. If anything, I’ll shout out at the window."

Zhang Guoqing reassuringly glanced at his two younger sons again, seeing them wave at him innocently while seated with storybooks, he smiled.

These three little things, truly precocious, every time they had to run into the room and grab snacks first, but now they had calmed down.

After Zhang Guoqing checked the window and left closing the door, Ping’an pointed at the dark blue box, "All my toys are in here, do you want to play?"

Yu stomped angrily, "I’m about to go to middle school, still playing with toys?"

The three brothers giggled happily.

Yu snorted, imitating his grandfather with his hands behind his back, pacing slowly around the room, finally stopping at the desk and tapping it with his finger.

"There should be a set of calligraphy tools here, such a big desk suits writing characters when the mood strikes. I’ll go home and ask my grandpa for a set this weekend to give to you."

Ping’an blinked, turned to glance at his two brothers holding back laughter with their hands over their mouths, and sighed inwardly. Still hadn’t remembered what he said, laughing for what, not worried about revealing?

Thankfully, the silly brothers didn’t show off that they didn’t lack any calligraphy tools!
