Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026: Chapter 899: What is an Outsider?

In the Zhang Family Village, Northeast China, far away, in the old Zhang family house, Lin Juhua was smiling in the hall, thinking she’d guessed the start but got the ending wrong.

The twins, Zuo and You, along with Shi Tou, Zi Wu, Zicong, and a few others indeed came over on the twenty-ninth of the lunar month to find Zhang Guoqing.

Unfortunately, Zhang Guoqing’s initial plan to spend New Year’s Eve with Zhou Jiao and then head back to his hometown was disrupted by these kids.

"I say, you guys really outdid yourselves. Not even going home for New Year, imagine how worried your families must be!" Zhang Guoqing said as soon as he got home from work, seeing several nephews and nieces in the living room.

"We sent letters home before we came, and just now, Ping’an even took us to send a telegram," Zhang Mingzuo explained, scratching his head.

"Well done!"

Zhang Guoqing carefully examined the children, seeing they hadn’t lost much weight, and felt quite relieved. Though he chided them verbally, he was inwardly supportive of their exploration, as such opportunities were rare.

"How did you get in?"

Seeing his brothers giggling foolishly, Ping’an had to answer, "Dad, I was just coming back from outside this afternoon when I saw the brothers at the gate."

"Have you eaten?"

"I got Grandma Chen to cook noodles as soon as I got back, and I also took the brothers to the bathhouse. The rooms upstairs are already arranged; I’ll just squeeze in with them, so we didn’t register at the guesthouse."

"My son is amazing!" Zhang Guoqing gave his son a thumbs up. His son, Ping’an, was only eight years old, yet he managed everything in an organized manner.

"Yes, Uncle, Ping’an is great."

"Exactly, Little Uncle, Ping’an knows everything. He even asked us if we’d gotten any army coats? Who else came with us? Should we greet those people?"

"There weren’t enough bath tickets, so Ping’an borrowed from his classmates."

Zhang Guoqing looked approvingly at his son but didn’t praise him further because his other two young sons had started complaining about the brothers not taking them to the bathhouse to play.

Especially since their own bedroom was given up to the brothers without their consent, which they felt was unfair, considering they were supposed to be brothers.

"Dad, I tried calling my mom, but no one answered."

"What time did you call?"

"Just now."

Zhang Guoqing felt relieved, "That means she’s off work. You shouldn’t use the phone randomly, you understand?"

May 1st nodded quickly, "I was worried Mom didn’t know so many brothers came over." He implied there was a reason for his actions and he shouldn’t be blamed for calling.

Off to the side, Liu Yi tugged on Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, May 1st also wanted to call you, but I didn’t let him."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing laughed, patting his two sons on their heads, "You’re all good kids, and Dad is very pleased."

"You should tell May 1st he was wrong; only after correcting himself would he be a good kid."

"I already corrected it. You didn’t take a nap today and wanted to sneak out to play, and I held you back. You’re not a good kid!"

Oh dear, they started bickering again.

Zhang Guoqing quickly soothed the two little rascals; otherwise, they would argue right up until dinner time, constantly chattering away.

The brothers Zuo and You watched in awe; earlier, they thought these two little ones were so loving and united, but they didn’t expect them to fall out with each other so quickly.

Afterwards, regarding this situation, once there were no outsiders, Ping’an had a heart-to-heart talk with his two silly brothers.

"Didn’t I tell you to be more restrained in front of outsiders, especially not to quarrel with your brothers? How could you let outsiders laugh at our family?"
