Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079: Chapter 952: Dad, Who Said Something?

When Zhang Guoqing asked this, the family happened to enter the living room.

"In the afternoon I accompanied the old chiefs to receive foreign guests, and then had a gathering in the evening, which delayed me and made me come back late." After finishing, Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head, "You’ve been traveling for so long, go upstairs to rest first, we can talk tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqing laughed and glanced at his wife, "Dad, we’re going back to work tomorrow, let’s chat while you have a late-night snack. Jiao Jiao missed you back home and even shed tears."

"You’re making things up, just keep making them up."

"You little girl, does that mean you didn’t miss me and your dad?" Miao Lishan gave her a sideways look, "You’re not even as good as Ping’an and the others, the three little treasures said their hearts were broken from missing me."

"Hehe..." Zhou Jiao stuck out her little tongue, let go of her dad’s arm, and ran to the kitchen. She wasn’t very talkative... so she found it faster to run errands.

"Take it easy." Zhou Xiaozheng watched his daughter leave with concern and couldn’t help but remind her.

Zhou Jiao’s behavior was something Zhang Guoqing was used to; her girlish demeanor only showed in front of him and her father-in-law.

While eating his late-night snack, Zhou Xiaozheng listened to their talk about their travel experiences, multitasking while thinking about how to explain things to avoid causing his daughter unnecessary worry.

As night fell, Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing didn’t say much. Rather, they adopted the mindset of sharing good news and not bad news, with Miao Lishan interjecting with jokes, making the atmosphere very harmonious and pleasant.

Coincidentally, the conversation shifted from their Northeast hometown to the reception of Old Mrs. Cheng tonight, to the topic of the weekend gathering mentioned by Cheng Ruzhu, for which Miao Lishan sought her husband’s opinion.

Zhou Xiaozheng heard his wife’s concerns about potential negative effects, smiled, and shook his head, "Everyone is in the same boat, there’s an idiom that goes ’the law does not punish the multitude.’"

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Jiao Jiao, for the time being, let’s hold off on donating from our family to others."

Zhou Jiao’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Dad, did someone say something?"

Zhou Xiaozheng anticipated his daughter would overthink, and tried to speak calmly and slowly, "That’s just in case. The Vice Prime Minister’s wife went to inspect the factory and took money out of her own pocket to solve several workers’ life difficulties. Now someone has reported saying their path and thoughts are problematic."

"There are also several people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the list, reportedly for giving tips to waiters abroad. Oh, yes, there’s also learning to wear Western dresses like capitalism."

Zhou Jiao secretly clicked her tongue.

She patted her chest, "Luckily Dad, you reminded me before. Okay, I understand, should I write to explain this to them?"

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head, "No need, after all these years, some martyrs’ orphans have grown up. They should be able to fend for themselves."

Zhou Jiao pondered for a moment, "What about those old soldiers?"

"Those will be canceled too. Today, the old chiefs have already discussed this issue. In the future, local military departments will implement more detailed solutions to these elderly comrades’ life issues. Specifics will be issued soon."

After hearing Zhou Xiaozheng say that, she carefully examined his expression and seeing no anomalies, she slightly nodded but couldn’t help asking, "Dad, is no one giving you trouble?"

Zhou Xiaozheng wiped his hands with a damp towel, "I already arranged things in advance with the old chiefs. Our family’s minor matters are clear as day to him, no one would make trouble for themselves."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao silently raised two thumbs towards her dad. You’re good, you’re impressive, you’re even more foresighted than me, the future person, happy now?!

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed lightly at this. Silly girl! Sometimes things don’t need to be said, especially when Xiao Wu is there; he tends to chatter incessantly to the old chiefs when he encounters them.
