Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091: Chapter 964: A Child with a Father Is a Treasure

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a half-smile, since he didn’t want to mention it, could she truly force him? "He had someone bring them, but how many could he bring? I still prefer shopping overseas."

"Hmm, you take after our mom in that, always shopping for a bargain." Zhang Guoqing teased, his eyes shifting, "How about asking our southern friend to smuggle some on the train?"

"Writing back and forth a few times would take until winter."

"No, the timing’s just right, it can be done before autumn. Perfect for working on both fronts, accumulating quietly without drawing attention."

Tang Xuanzong, that old rascal, could make ’a plume of dust followed by a consort’s smile,’ Zhang Guoqing admitted he didn’t have that kind of skill, but surely he could get his wife a taste of longan lychees.

Contrary to their expectations, within a few days, in the stillness of the night, Zhou Xiaozheng returned home from his long business trip, travel-worn.

Upstairs, as soon as Zhang Guoqing heard the commotion, he turned over, feeling beside him, "Jiao Jiao?"

In the darkness, Zhou Jiao switched on the light, "It should be Dad coming back, did I wake you?"

Zhang Guoqing saw her getting dressed, knowing she had just woken up too—truly alert, he wondered if she hadn’t slept at all or if there was some psychic connection.

Seeing this, he shook his head and quickly clothed himself. These questions could wait, for now, his father-in-law was more important.

"Why aren’t you sleeping yet?"

As Zhou Jiao opened the living room door, she saw her dad standing there, not even thinking to reply, she glanced him over from head to toe repeatedly, finally confirming he was truly back.

"Alright, alright, it’s silly to cry for someone so grown up. Is your mom home?"

As soon as Zhou Jiao heard this, she ran to knock on the bedroom door, "Mom, wake up, Dad’s back home."

Zhang Guoqing took his luggage, "Dad, you should go take a shower, I’ll go make some noodles for you."

"Aren’t you going to ask me why it took me so long to come home?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a laugh and said, "As long as you’re okay, that’s enough. Honey, you stay with Dad, I’ll be back soon."

Zhou Xiaozheng watched his son-in-law run to the kitchen, muttering to himself: "This brat keeps saying wife, wife, in front of me. It’s not like my Jiao Jiao doesn’t have a name, and as if he’s the only one with a wife, I have one too."

Zhou Jiao responded to Miao Lishan’s call, turned around, and ran to Zhou Xiaozheng. Seeing him mumbling, she tilted her head curiously, asking, "Dad, what’s up?"

Zhou Xiaozheng cleared his throat, "Nothing, it’s still comfortable being at home."

"Of course it is. I thought you wouldn’t be back until after this summer. Why have you lost weight again? Did Secretary Chen not take good care of you?"

Zhou Xiaozheng patted his daughter’s head, "Silly child, your dad hasn’t lost weight, but why haven’t you gained any? Is it because of the summer heat?"

Zhou Jiao looked at him speechlessly, knowing a girl doesn’t look good gaining weight. "I’m fine, but since you are home, I need to make you some good dishes to nurse your health."

Zhou Xiaozheng’s eyes twinkled, realizing he would be out again for meetings in a few days. He wondered whether to tell his little housekeeper now. After considering, he decided to wait a couple of days to avoid making this silly girl worry.

"Brother Zheng, you’re finally back."

Zhou Xiaozheng turned and flashed a half-smiling glance at Miao Lishan, "Awake?"

Miao Lishan, seeing it was indeed him, couldn’t stop smiling and nodded repeatedly, "You must be exhausted. Let me make you something to eat."

Zhou Jiao nudged her dad, "Mom, help Dad find some clean clothes, Brother has gone to the kitchen. Dad, go wash up; I’ll help out in the kitchen."

With that, she slipped away, thinking of her mom’s eyes ’seeing only her husband,’ it amused her. Old couples, is it really necessary?
