Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004: Chapter 877: The Blame-Shifting Brothers

Day by day passed, and this year’s autumn seemed to arrive prematurely. The scorching summer had just gone by, bringing with it autumn winds that swept through, leaves withering and the cold currents flowing.

Almost eight-year-old Ping’an, after many years of exercise, had shed his baby fat, especially this summer during which he had a growth spurt, and now he had become a little man.

He stood over 1.3 meters tall, with a slightly chubby, fair face that retained a hint of childishness, and an air of cool charisma when silent. Under his handsome slanted eyebrows, a pair of big beautiful eyes often sparkled with innocent joy, yet his sharp and steady gaze was hidden beneath lashes like feather fans.

With a high nose and gently pressed lips, his well-defined features, a modified military uniform, and a red armband, everything exuded his excellence.

At this moment, he had just come from the classroom to meet up with his buddies he grew up with, when a little girl holding a book of quotations hurriedly ran over, not even having time to catch her breath before calling out loudly.

"Zhang Mingxuan, wait up."

Ping’an nonchalantly glanced at her, noticing the uneven seams on the sleeves of her faded, old military uniform, realizing she was another little girl who had altered her parents’ military uniform on her own.

"Tomorrow some of us are going to the city to see a battle. Do you want to join?"

Ping’an raised an eyebrow, "Sure."

"Great! I knew you were a good comrade!"

"We are good comrades too! What class are you in? Which courtyard?"

"Yes, report your name quickly."

"Right, right, otherwise you might not get to join us tomorrow."

The good comrade glanced sideways at the bored bunch of buddies around him. Sure enough, like Uncle Dayong and his group, these older ones were starting to get spry.

They had long received news of heading to the alley in the west of the city tomorrow. As for what to do, need it be said? Probably another household was reported.

Just last week, not far from the small courtyard alley where Master moved in, wasn’t a family pulled out? It’s said there was a fatal incident.

Ping’an caught a glimpse of the bending elderly principal sweeping beside the sports field, a hint of sympathy flitting across his lowered eyes, and nodded slightly at the girl, nudging his buddies beside him with a foot.

"Let’s go!"

Among the five or six lads, he was the youngest. While the likes of Wen Yu were vaguely beginning to understand those things between men and women, finding partners and such, oh well.

For Ping’an always being liked by girl classmates, the childhood pals he grew up with were no longer surprised. What’s so strange about it?

Not to mention the older school girls, even in the Big Courtyard, there were quite a few little girls eager to be little brides.

On the way home, Ping’an saw a few people beside him winking and smirking and shook his head indifferently. How old was he anyway, not quite understanding these things.

Even jokes have their time and place. The group, thinking he was still young, soon got bored, play fighting for a while, discussing how tomorrow’s battle would unfold again?

But what does it have to do with you little brats?

Hearing this, Ping’an lowered his head, pressing his lips together, and as he raised his head in that split second, he had returned to his usual expression, occasionally echoing a few of their questions, while greeting passing servicemen and their families.

Unlike the tense air outside, everything in the Big Courtyard was as usual. But Ping’an still couldn’t suppress the worries and anxieties in his heart. Could his mom cope at work?

Declining invitations from a few friends to go play at their homes, watching Wen Yu and them leave amid laughter and chatters, Ping’an quickened his steps home.

Knowing full well that at this time, apart from Aunt Chen, there would be no one home, but he still hoped to stay at home, waiting for the adults to return from work.

—In case something happened, there was a phone at home, and actions could be taken promptly.

Moreover, he was concerned about his two younger brothers who hadn’t returned from school yet, and once Aunt Chen left to pick them up, no one would be home to watch out.

Yet unexpectedly, today a surprising scene unfolded...

—Not far from the third gate, Liu Yi and May 1st were currently surrounded by a group of little girls.
