Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008: Chapter 881: At the Workplace

Rumors a thousand miles away, even if Zhou Jiao doesn’t know them, she has some premonitions in her heart. What is meant to come will come, fate is seventy percent, human effort thirty percent.

She has always supported the principle of "if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them." She respects life, on the premise that this life does not threaten her own.

For those harboring malice, she retaliates with tactics. It won’t cost anyone their life, but if those people aren’t punished, how can they remember?

As for whether the ancestral graves will be destroyed?

That truly relies on that seventy percent fate. Just those powders and mechanisms have cost her considerable effort over the years. She considers she has given her best to the Gu Family.

Thus, Miao Lishan’s worries are cast aside by Zhou Jiao afterward. And the Cheng Family? Besides the elderly lady, they’re not really the Zhou Family.

The morning bugle call signals wake-up, and it’s another new day.

The gate of the Zhou Family courtyard opens wide, each person busy with their daily routine. In the morning mist, two figures of Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing are clearly seen running out one after the other.

Inside the courtyard, on both sides, Zhou Jiao and Ping’an are each practicing boxing, while Miao Lishan leads the twins in washing up in the bathroom of the lit small building.

In the distance, amid the drill call "1-2-3-4," Zhou Jiao finishes her practice and heads to the kitchen. After breakfast, she must catch the first public bus to go to work.

Day in and day out, following the bugle call routine, for Ping’an who is going to town today, he knows when to set out without even looking at the clock.

Once the work call sounds, he also slings his military satchel and leaves the house with the family. Meeting up with his friends at the agreed place, they head together to school.

Nowadays, the entire nation loves military attire. These older children wear uniforms, badges, red armbands, and sling military satchels.

However, the children in the Big Courtyard have always worn their parents’ altered old uniforms, which doesn’t surprise any passing military personnel or their families.

When he steps into the school gate, Zhou Jiao also arrives at the unit.

The closer to the city center, the tenser the atmosphere becomes; not to say a state of fear and alarm, but everyone feels insecure. The initial relaxed atmosphere upon entering the unit has disappeared.

In the office, as Zhou Jiao thinks about going out to get hot water, she finds the hot water bottle full and smirks ironically. Everyone is starting to compete in showing off.

Sitting opposite her, Jin Lijuan makes eye contact with her, glances outside, and gives a knowing look.

Zhou Jiao understands and slightly shakes her head at her. Compared to those petty people who report behind backs, this small harmless matter is nothing to fuss over.

After taking a seat, the other two colleagues, Shen Zhao and Shao Dongrui, also arrive for work one after the other.

"Is there more of this badge?"

As Jin Lijuan speaks, Zhou Jiao glances in surprise at the two male colleagues and nearly laughs aloud. These two have recently changed their chest medals again.

——Now they’re wearing quite large ones!

From Jin Lijuan’s serious eyes, Zhou Jiao clearly sees a touch of mockery.

Shen Zhao gives her a sideways look and takes out two badges from his briefcase, placing them in the middle of their desk, "New editions, just a few, I haven’t forgotten you all."

"Thanks."

"Let’s progress together."

Well, once those words are spoken, the following conversation begins with quotations. However, everyone has grown accustomed to it; without starting with a quote, they can’t really have a good chat.

As for the topic, it revolves around this month’s supplies and daily trivial matters.

With the office door open, people come and go at all times.
