Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: Chapter 902: Midnight Secrets Revealed

In the still of the night, Mr. Zhang was leaning there with his eyes closed, quietly waiting for his grandchildren to arrive, his mind wandering.

"What’s wrong?"

Mr. Zhang patted his wife, "It’s nothing, you go ahead and sleep."

"Our Xiao Wu and the others are all well, there’s nothing wrong at home, the kids are doing well, what are you worrying about? Is it the eldest son’s family?"

"No, the eldest brother stepped down, Qing Shan is going up to be the deputy captain, with Old Captain teaching him for a few years, after a few years, Qing Shan will be the captain, why should I worry about his family?"

Mother Zhang thought so too. The commune has approved everything, come spring, the eldest nephew will be the deputy captain.

"Grandpa and Grandma..." Zhang Mingzuo poked his head in and softly called.

Seeing his wife about to speak, Mr. Zhang quickly covered her mouth, too worried that her loud voice would ruin any chance of talking business tonight.

"What’s up?"

"Can you come out for a moment?"

Mr. Zhang glanced at him and nodded, this was clearly something he didn’t want his wife to hear. Mysterious as it was, he didn’t say much, just asked his wife to keep an eye on the courtyard.

Although it’s unlikely anyone would come in at this hour, who knows if there might be thieves lurking around? Better to be cautious these days.

Mr. Zhang entered the study in the east room... Wow, a room full of seven or eight young fellows, all crammed in, and all eyes eagerly fixed on him, no wonder they had found all sorts of excuses to send the two girls home tonight.

"Grandpa, before this trip, the eldest brother and eldest cousin had already made plans for us. The fact that it’s been so safe is thanks to them. I’m in charge of money and tickets, Xiao You is responsible for contacts, Zi Wu handles security, Zicong and Shi Tou are responsible for gathering information."

Mr. Zhang looked at the kids approvingly, nodding. They’ve been educated for a few years, their planning is even more thorough than us adults, truly impressive.

"We’ve talked about the things we can mention today during the trip, but there are still some matters..." Zhang Mingzuo scratched his head, "It’s not that we brothers don’t trust the women."

Mr. Zhang glared at him, "Enough! Your grandma is outside keeping watch, be careful she hears and hits you. Quickly tell me, did you do something bad?"

Naturally, Mr. Zhang knew why his grandsons were hiding things from the women at home. The eldest son’s family couldn’t be trusted; the second son’s wife had a big mouth; the eldest daughter’s character was impatient and easily emotional; as for the second daughter, she’s still a toddler, has no relevance to her family.

"Hehe..." Zhang Mingzuo chuckled twice, pulling out quilts from the kang bed, "We only brought three quilts, eldest brother you help us take them all apart, be careful."

By this point, Mr. Zhang understood everything. Looking at the kids busy working, he frowned and turned to Zhang Mingzuo, "You brought quilts into the Big Courtyard?"

"Hehe, we’re not stupid, we heard long ago there would be checks at the Big Courtyard’s entrance, so we kept them at the station and retrieved them later with Uncle."

"Look at how clean it is now, all thanks to my aunt. Sleeping outside for so long, crowding with strangers every day, it’s so dirty, with fleas and lice everywhere. Once we entered the Big Courtyard, Ping’an first pulled us to the bathhouse, got us haircuts and a change of clothes, it was humiliating."
