Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1046

Chapter 1046: Chapter 919: Gathering Intelligence

As soon as the off-work bugle sounded, Zhang Guoqing hopped on his 28-bar bike and headed to Ping’an’s school. He learned that Ping’an had been picked up by his grandfather, and then returned to the Big Courtyard’s daycare, but didn’t leave with his grandfather.

There was no problem with the kids being left with the old father-in-law, especially given Ping’an’s skills. Unless five or six people tried to take him away, it wouldn’t be possible, not to mention the three children always had self-defense items with them.

Seeing nothing unusual, he turned around, rode his bike out the gate, and followed the bus route towards the city. He wasn’t even worried about missing his wife along the way.

It wasn’t like the future; even in the capital, the number of vehicles was limited, and furthermore, his wife’s sixth sense was incredibly sharp, maybe he’d be discovered by her before he even found her.

Meanwhile, the three brothers were cheerfully following Zhou Xiaozheng home, chirping non-stop, asking questions like: "Grandpa, how come you have time today?" or "Grandpa isn’t working anymore?"

One can’t blame the kids for all these questions. Everyone in the family might pick them up, but their grandfather, except for sending them to school, rarely picked them up from school.

"It’s been a long time since I picked up you three." Zhou Xiaozheng changed the topic, and with a smile asked the twins, "Did you have any fights with your classmates in class?"

Ping’an thoughtfully looked at his grandfather’s hand tightly holding his, lowered his eyelids, and a sharp glint unsuitable for his age flashed in his eyes.

Right up to the doorstep, after getting off from the vehicle, he maintained his smile, waited for Aunt Chen to finish cutting the hot tea and milk and leave, then he turned serious and looked at Zhou Xiaozheng.

"Grandpa, is someone trying to harm me?" It’s not strange for him to ask this, compared to his brothers who spent most of their time at the Big Courtyard’s daycare, he was more vulnerable on his way to and from school.

But weren’t those people underestimating him!

The originally smiling Liu Yi and May 1 immediately put down their milk cups upon hearing their brother say this and looked at their grandfather.

Zhou Xiaozheng wasn’t surprised by the children’s reaction and smiled comfortingly at them, "We’ll have to wait for your mom to come back and see what she says."

Liu Yi frowned, "Aren’t we picking up mom?"

Next to him, May 1 looked at the clock in the living room, "Dad isn’t back; he’s gone to pick up mom."

Liu Yi nodded, "Hmm, makes sense."

"Brother, don’t be afraid, we will protect you."

"..." Ping’an paused, "Um, thank you, brother."

May 1 waved his little hand generously, "No need to thank us, united as brothers, we conquer all obstacles."

"If anyone dares harm our brother, I’ll beat those bad guys up." Liu Yi raised his arm waving, the fierce tone contrasted with his fair, tender face, making him especially charming.

With the banter from the three brothers, Zhou Xiaozheng’s mood improved significantly. "Alright, since we still don’t know how it is yet, we’ll discuss when your mom comes back. You guys should drink some milk first."

This milk was supplied directly from the unit below, cheaper than powdered milk, though the brothers might not particularly like it. However, the three children knew it was beneficial for growing taller and chugged it down like medicine.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao encountered each other on the road, and after meeting at the next station, couldn’t talk much due to the crowd. He took the small note passed by his wife and immediately headed into the city alone.

This time he was truly infuriated; the four bold characters on the note felt like a stab to his lung, and after taking several deep breaths, he sped up towards the city.

No matter who was causing trouble this time, he had worked hard for so long, if he couldn’t even protect his wife and kids, then Zhang Guoqing was truly a coward! He had to make sure he dealt with this using his abilities.

Ever since entering Beijing in fifty-nine, Zhang Guoqing spent a great deal of money to build connections across all levels. Was it only for a reputation of righteousness? Ha, that would be underestimating him.
