Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023: Chapter 896: But Isn’t Everyone Like This?

Zhang Guoqing occasionally visits a few times, and he still has some impression of the family next door. They are a very gentle and elegant middle-aged couple, and the lady even gave some gifts.

Their well-raised children are also very polite.

He subconsciously glanced at his wife and frowned. This buddy was going to start complaining again...

"The man had an article from early years uncovered, and two days ago, a family of six was assigned back to their hometown. Xiao Wu, this is the eighth person at my unit."

"I read that article; there’s really no big issue..."

"Did your wife go to your mother-in-law’s because of this matter?" Zhang Guoqing quickly interrupted, otherwise a lengthy diatribe would follow.

"Yeah, Xiao Hui still wants me to transfer units."

"What do you think? Have you discussed it with Uncle Li?"

Li Qinglin sighed, "These things are hard to bring up in letters, and we don’t know the specifics at home, so we want to go back earlier."

Zhang Guoqing patted him on the shoulder; truly, they shared the same woes, and he understood his buddy’s feelings well. Every time there was news of something happening, he couldn’t help but worry.

The two of them looked at each other and shared a helpless smile.

Zhou Jiao asked from the side, "Has Taozi written recently?"

"Yes, a letter came just two days ago. I’ll let you take a look; his silly state is hopeless." Li Qinglin said with a sigh and stood up.

"No need to look; I just got his letter too. I can already guess the gist without reading it. Is he showing off again about how smart his wife’s unborn child is?"

Li Qinglin laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Guoqing pulled him back to sit down, "Taozi is settled; what about you? Aren’t the elders urging you to have kids sooner?"

"How could they not? If traditional Chinese medicine hadn’t become taboo, my mother-in-law almost dragged Xiao Hui and me to see an elder doctor. What do you think this is about?"

Li Qinglin was also helpless, not much he could do, these complaints could only be shared with a good buddy, "The elders just don’t understand us. We want to wait a bit longer, at least until things are more stable."

Wait for what? Zhang Guoqing secretly thought. "If you wait any longer, my Ping’an will be old enough to get married. Better sooner, while there’s time to have a few more."

"We aren’t like you and Taozi, there’s no one to help with the childcare. Truly leaving a child to grow up in my hometown with my mom? Not even Xiao Hui, I wouldn’t bear it either."

"Sigh..." Li Qinglin sighed softly, "Wanted to settle down before marriage, but once you have a family, a heap of things come. Nothing aligns with my original plans."

"I had it all planned out, with both of us working, the salary would be enough to hire a nanny, and there would be someone to help with the kids. Now... Xiao Hui’s stepfather mentioned it a few times, that when there are kids, they could leave them with a nanny at his house, but think about it, even his own kids don’t have that privilege..."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with amusement, "Life is like this, just gets by. When your wife gives birth, there will naturally be a way. With so many elders on both sides, how can they not help you?"

Li Qinglin felt like hitting him a few times!

Does he think everyone can be as lucky as him? When Ping’an was born, Zhou Jiao happened to be at home; and when the twins were born, there was a dedicated aunt to help.

He and Taozi were busy studying hard, striving every day, while he was all settled. Got married, had a son, drew a salary, attended university...

By the time he and Taozi were anxious to settle down and build careers, the guy had done all the essentials.
