Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028: Chapter 901: "Surprised?

"In Beijing, we didn’t stay outside. My uncle and aunt wouldn’t let us leave. During the day, they and my grandma took turns taking us into the city to play, and at night we could watch movies in the big courtyard."

"Ping’an from our family also took us around the big courtyard. Some old gentlemen inside asked why Grandpa didn’t come to Beijing. They even asked us brothers to send a message to him. They said they moved to a new courtyard and Grandpa hasn’t been there yet, so he should wait until the weather warms up and stay for a while."

As soon as Zhang the Second’s son finished speaking, he joked, "Dad, you have quite the social circle, huh? So many people miss you. Son, did you mention that your grandpa is very busy right now?"

Shi Tou nodded with a smile, "I did. I think it’s not as good as here. Going in and out requires registration, it’s quite a hassle."

"Little rascal, do you think any ordinary person can go in there? I heard from Grandpa Zuo that even getting close to the gate isn’t allowed."

"Dad, it’s not that exaggerated. Living there isn’t too great. The bugle is always sounding every day. While we’re there, seeing my uncle and them going for a run early in the morning makes us a little embarrassed to sleep in. Later, we joined them for exercise, which exhausted us."

Mr. Zhang patted his grandson’s forehead, "You can’t handle this? Ping’an hasn’t missed a day since he was five years old. Your uncle even planned that when the Liu Yi brothers turn five, they have to do the same."

"Hehe... the two little ones stretch their arms and legs early every day, telling us they want to grow up fast so they can hunt and make money early, hahaha, which cracked us up..."

Mr. Zhang looked speechlessly at the group of giggling children. What’s so funny about it? Kids, having such ambition at a young age should make you reflect seriously, shouldn’t it?

Once they laughed enough, Mr. Zhang waved his hand, "Starting tomorrow, you all have to get up early and go for a run too. Old Zhang the First and Zhang the Second, you too. If Chunming and Xiao Bin aren’t on night shifts, they should run a few laps as well."

"Huh?"

"Surprised?" Mr. Zhang scanned the children, speaking slowly and calmly, "If you can’t go to college, have you thought about the path for these kids?"

"Have you seen those educated youths? They all come from big cities. If they can go to the countryside, haven’t you considered if it might happen to your own kids?"

Zhang the Second understood his father’s meaning. No matter what, you need to have a good physique first, otherwise, you’ll be like those educated youths from the city who can barely take care of themselves.

He looked at his older brother, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. Right now, they don’t count since the family is full of toddlers. His oldest son Shi Tou is just fourteen and finishing high school, so there’s no rush.

But his older brother and sister-in-law... thinking about it, he lowered his eyes, he’d really need to go out more often during this time to see if any factories or units are hiring.

Huang Cuilan quickly tugged at her husband’s sleeve. So what about the Zuo You brothers? Finding a job isn’t so easy, and she can’t bear to let the children join the army and not see them for a year, and what if there’s a war?

Zhang Guofu glanced at her coldly, seeing her immediately let go, he sighed quietly. As a father, hasn’t he thought about his son’s future?

Seeing everyone silent, Zhang Meili clapped her hands, "Come on, it’s not something imminent. Look how frightened you are. Let’s listen to our dad for now, starting tomorrow, you all go for a run."

Zhang Chunming nodded, "Yes! I’ll join you brothers for exercise on the days I don’t go to work. I’m quite envious of my uncle’s muscular build."

His sidekick Zicong burst into laughter, "Dad, that’s a far-off goal, let’s be more realistic."

Zhang Meili slapped him on the head, "How do you speak to your father? No respect for elders!"

"Why hit the kid?!" Zhang Chunming quickly hugged his younger son, complaining softly.
