Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: Chapter 941: She’s Just That Headstrong, So What?

The late-night call indeed affected Mother Zhang’s mood. She tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep well. Finally, when she heard the rooster crow from the village, she got up all of a sudden.

Mr. Zhang, lying by her side, groggily heard the commotion and thought his wife was going to the toilet. It wasn’t until she lit the oil lamp and reached under the pillow for her watch that he woke up fully.

"It’s not daylight yet. Go back to sleep."

"You sleep. I’m going to find my son."

"Find our son..." Mr. Zhang shivered, and now he was awake. "You, this old lady, didn’t I tell you that Xiao Wu is busy teaching our grandson?"

Mother Zhang rolled her eyes, "I know. I’m hungry and going to have breakfast." Saying so, she changed into her outside clothes and left. She was just this headstrong, so what?

Mr. Zhang looked at the pitch-dark outside and had no mind to sleep anymore. A companion in old age is just that—a companion. What if she trips and falls? He was much smarter than Mother Zhang, directly picking up the flashlight and putting on his pants, walking while pulling on his clothes.

In the dead of night, he couldn’t very well shout for his wife to slow down, so he could only quicken his pace to catch up with her, muttering to himself how silly he was. At her speed, what tripping?

Meanwhile, Zhang Guoqing was about to get ready as he heard footsteps outside, and all four father and son turned their heads to the front door.

Zhou Jiao, unable to hear clearly, but able to read faces, said, "Is someone there? Brother, go and check."

Ping’an, seeing his dad leave, smiled assuringly at her, "The noise should be from my grandma. It’s okay, Mom."

Liu Yi blinked his big eyes, "Later there was also my grandpa’s footsteps."

"My grandpa was even muttering, what medicine did this old lady take to walk so fast," May 1 impeccably mimicked Mr. Zhang’s tone.

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows at these words. Their hearing had improved again.

"I’ll go take a look. You protect Mom."

"Yes, ma’am, officer."

Zhou Jiao looked at her three sons’ salutes and chuckled, "Alright, stop playing. I’ll go in and get breakfast. Your grandpa and grandma didn’t eat much last night and must be starving."

"My poor mom, should’ve let Aunt Chen follow you."

"...You said to be self-reliant outside."

"Fool, I’m worried grandpa and grandma won’t have food to eat."

"You’re the fool. We have a canteen."

"I’ll tell Mom you called me a fool again. She said that’s disrespectful and must be punished."

"Are we real brothers?"

"Being real brothers means supervising you."

"You didn’t call me second brother, always calling Liu Yi Liu Yi."

"You just weighed one more pound than me, pushed me away first, and ran. I didn’t even blame you, yet you expect me to call you second brother? Dream on!"

"No matter how you imagine, facts are more eloquent than words. I was born first and rank ahead of you."

"Second grandpa and the others don’t rank according to age."

"Hmph, talking more doesn’t matter. You’re just the youngest in our family."

Zhou Jiao smiled as she listened to her two youngest sons debate. After setting the bowls and chopsticks, she stopped them, "Okay, your grandpa and grandma are coming over."
