Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015: Chapter 888: Mom, Watch Your Words!

"Grandmother just went to Great-grandmother’s."

Zhou Jiao glanced at the pitch-black night and frowned slightly, not voicing the question in her mind.

"Mom, is everything settled?"

Zhou Jiao nodded heavily, "Let’s not talk, you’re almost frozen!"

Little Ping’an shook his head with a smile, took her briefcase, held her hand, and quickened his pace.

Frozen? How could that be. Trained in the summer’s heat and winter’s cold, he was used to it. But who else besides his caring parents and elders would ask such questions?

As they neared the house, Zhou Jiao stopped, lowered her head, and reminded him a few things. Watching him enter his own courtyard, she then moved towards the Cheng Family’s house.

"Jiao Jiao’s here, your mom is in the grandma’s room."

Zhou Jiao smiled at the quickly approaching aunt, removed her scarf and mask as she walked, "Is the old man not home?"

"He went out for a meeting at noon, hasn’t returned yet."

Zhou Jiao thought he might be having a meeting with her dad.

"The red date porridge is almost ready. Would you like a bowl?"

"Who’s here?" The old lady’s voice came from the bedroom.

"Aunty, it’s me." Zhou Jiao responded loudly, smiling softly at the aunt, "A small bowl is fine, Aunt spoils me."

This flattery made Aunt Cheng beam with joy, she took Zhou Jiao’s coat and pushed her into the bedroom. Like Aunt Chen, she really liked Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing.

Besides the close relationship between the main family and Zhou Family, it was inseparable from Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing’s respect for her.

Pushing open the bedroom door, under the orange light by the window, sat the smiling Old Mrs. Cheng and the noticeably worried Miao Lishan.

Zhou Jiao’s eyes flickered, she looked at the steaming cups of tea on the table, and smiled, "Aunty, you need to change your habit of drinking tea before bed, it’ll affect your sleep."

Old Mrs. Cheng looked at her dotingly, "Little housekeeper. I’m just having one cup tonight, don’t worry, it’s very mild."

"Have you eaten?" Miao Lishan looked at Zhou Jiao and slowly exhaled, asking.

Old Mrs. Cheng asked in surprise, "Did you just return home?"

"Been back for a while." Zhou Jiao found a seat, smiled to reassure her mom, "I ate before coming home, did Dad call?"

Miao Lishan nodded while speaking, "Xiao Wu took the call before dinner, said he was with the old chiefs talking after the meeting."

Zhou Jiao felt relieved. Turned out, tonight’s strange atmosphere had nothing to do with her dad.

"I did receive a call from your aunt."

Here it came, Zhou Jiao looked at the old lady, then at her mom.

"One of your uncle’s acquaintances had an accident."

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrow. So rare, but what’s it got to do with her family?

"That’s just part of it. Your aunty also received two calls today, both bad news."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao immediately looked at the old lady, "Involved you, old one?"

Old Mrs. Cheng smiled, shook her head slightly, paused, "Some people back home are getting restless."

"Oh."

Miao Lishan noticing her indifference, immediately added, following Old Mrs. Cheng’s words, "Jiao Jiao, someone from the Big Courtyard got taken away today too."
