Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Chapter 89: Another Visit to the Provincial City (Two Chapters in One)

Zhou Jiao didn’t know that someone was discussing her tonight. She didn’t think she was that extraordinary. Even if she knew, she would just laugh it off.

Her son had just fallen asleep after breastfeeding, and her mother-in-law was also resting early on the kang bed outside.

Zhang Guoqing hadn’t been home all night; Zhou Jiao couldn’t fall asleep either. During the day when he left, it didn’t feel like much. But now, as night deepens and everything outside is quiet, any little noise startled her.

The wind from the north scratched against the window paper, rustling constantly. Occasionally, a dog barking made her heart skip a beat. She knew she lacked a sense of security; with him, her heart would be at ease.

Her mother-in-law habitually extinguished the oil lamp, and she didn’t stop her. From today’s words, she knew that people’s lives were still tough. She should pay more attention later, not to be too extravagant. Things bought should also be put away to avoid drawing attention. This rural area isn’t without danger; it’s just that she, living in one place for so long, hasn’t seen what the masses see. She silently warned herself to live inconspicuously.

At this moment, she didn’t realize that it’s not her reluctance to keep a low profile, but rather the attention her parents and husband paid to her that made her stand out.

In the darkness, she opened her eyes, contemplating her future path, the life she would lead. Life would get better, but she still had to prepare more, just in case.

Thinking of her grandmother’s past words, then remembering the elders in the village sighing while recounting stories, she instinctively became tense. If that day came, she couldn’t imagine eating grass roots. What kind of life would that be? She couldn’t depend on others; her mom was extravagant, with a childlike attitude. When a true famine comes, she would need to prepare a lot, with more people to worry about, she’d have to prepare even more.

Early the next morning, reveille sounded, Zhang Guoqing and Xiao Zhou started running along the runway, exercising alongside the soldiers. After the workout, their bodies felt very refreshed. They had breakfast with everyone at the military without going to the cafeteria at the guesthouse.
