Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Chapter 928: They’re a Bit Selfish

The day continued until the sound of the horn signaled the end of work, and a sweating Zhang Guoqing finally led his three sons home, causing Mother Zhang to be so worried she didn’t even notice her husband hadn’t returned with them.

"Quickly wash up and rest for a while. You, as a father, don’t even know how to care for your sons; why didn’t you let them come back first? Oh my dear grandsons, look at your tiny faces, all covered in mud."

"Grandma, we’re not tired."

"Grandma, please sit down and rest for a bit."

Ping’an and his younger brothers each supported Mother Zhang, then laughed and said, "Grandma, Grandpa said that later the three of them want to drink, so make a few more dishes to go with the alcohol tonight."

"He wishes." After speaking, Mother Zhang looked at her two little grandsons on either side and laughed heartily, quickly arranging for the kids to shower first.

Over there, Zhang Guoqing was about to go to his room to get some ointment when Zhou Jiao handed it over first, whispering, "Starting tomorrow, the kids won’t be going to the fields anymore."

Not only did his wife feel for them, he felt for them too; their tender palms even had blisters. If his mother-in-law were here, she’d be crying her heart out.

Normally, if the kids practiced horse stance at home for a while, she’d frequently check her watch, not to mention that his sons always won fights; otherwise, she’d have already gone to the other family’s house to settle accounts.

Zhang Guoqing doubted if, after this return, his mother-in-law sees the scars, they might never come back to the old home.

Even his father-in-law, who always preached "raising sons poorly, raising daughters well," might change his tune. Back when Jiao Jiao went to the countryside, his father-in-law’s eyes were red.

Zhou Jiao nodded earnestly, "The kids do need a good night’s rest. Starting tomorrow, we’ll take them up the mountain; we can’t forget the theme of this trip."

After the mother-in-law left for the kitchen, Zhou Jiao helping her sons scoop water, quietly asked, "Did your brothers not come back with you?"

May 1st nodded, then shook his head, "They came initially, but later went back to help at home, told us to go together, but we didn’t leave."

Liu Yi frowned slightly, "They’re a bit selfish, annoying. Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt are still quite nice."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Guoqing; the couple exchanged looks, then looked at Ping’an. Their eldest subtly signaled by shaking his head, and they exchanged wry smiles; they couldn’t underestimate their sons.

"Second Grandpa and several other grandpas brought us a lot of stuff; we haven’t used the meal tickets or money we brought. The other day, Aunt Yuan also sent a big pile of things over; I’ve noted everything brought in a booklet and will give it to you tonight."

"Mom, Aunt Yuan’s little brother is so fun, cried and fussed not to let us leave. Uncle Yuntao even came to see us last night."

After Liu Yi and the other two brothers spoke, they added, "He said the day after tomorrow, which is tomorrow night, he’ll come by; let us think about what we might need. Just like Uncle Da Yi, proper brothers!"

Zhou Jiao amusedly patted her son’s head, "How many days did you stay in the provincial city?"

"Just one night. Second Grandpa and them originally didn’t agree, but the three of us explained that staying longer in the provincial city isn’t good, many people take the opportunity to come and make connections, annoying."

"Even considering that, very smart!" Zhang Guoqing was pleased to see his sons understanding how to handle things themselves, couldn’t deny his father-in-law trained fine disciples.

Roughly aware of the kids’ daily routine over the period, Zhou Jiao felt at ease, seeing Zhang Guoqing applying ointment to his sons, she went into the kitchen to help. As for other matters, they could wait.

Originally, she planned to bring things back, but Zhang Guoqing reminded her to return empty-handed this time. Every time carrying a big haul, those who don’t know might think their life in Beijing is luxurious.

"Quick, go rest, it’s hot here."
