Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1101

Chapter 1101: Chapter 974: Having Grown-Up Sons Is Really Difficult

After taking the kids, Zhou Jiao led her sons home via a different route, passing by a sports field. When they say sports field, uh, it’s just a few ping pong tables and basketball hoops not far from each other.

In the military unit, besides playing ping pong, basketball is also a popular recreational activity. On the one hand, it trains physical fitness, and it also fosters team spirit and a sense of collective honor.

Of course, negatively speaking, it also serves as a form of release.

Not to mention this cool autumn evening, even on the recently passed hot summer nights, this place is always bustling with people.

It’s the same at this moment, a crowd surrounds the area, and from a distance, one could hear the loud shouts and noises from the games.

"Da Bao, want to show off your skills?"

Ping’an was troubled by the new nickname his mom recently gave him. He’s a grown man, still being called Da Bao? But compared to being called "baby," it was indeed more "grown-up."

"Not interested."

Zhou Jiao turned her gaze to Liu Yi.

A startled Liu Yi hurriedly said, "Don’t call me Er Bao."

Instantly, the three mother and sons burst into laughter. Was this jumping into a pit on one’s own?

Liu Yi rolled his eyes helplessly. His mom recently burst into a naughty sense of humor, what triggered it! Thankfully, she never played around like this in front of outsiders.

Otherwise, just imagining his buddies all calling him Er Bao, he would cry, how could this match his mighty and domineering image?

May 1st stopped laughing and whispered, "Mom, outside he’s known as Sixth Brother."

"Then what about you, Brother Wu? What about your dad then?" Zhou Jiao looked at him amusedly. Still calling him Sixth Brother? It seems her children are quite popular outside.

"That’s why I’m worried, I can’t let people call me Brother Wu, otherwise it feels like someone is calling my dad. But what kind of nickname would suit me, the young master?"

Ping’an patted his head, "Stop talking nonsense. Sixth Brother? Be careful Liu Yi gets mad at you."

Meanwhile, Liu Yi gave an eye roll to May 1st, "Third Young Master, enough already."

Oh no, everything’s exposed now. May 1st stomped his foot, giving Zhou Jiao an ingratiating silly smile, "Mom, we’re just playing around."

Zhou Jiao laughed, "Then is your eldest brother the First Young Master?"

"Huh? You found out."

Seeing his silly son startled, Zhou Jiao reached out to touch his head and laughed, "Sounds interesting. Playing is fine, just make sure you three brothers keep boundaries when interacting with outsiders."

Ping’an nodded, "Mom, we know."

Some topics are not suitable for discussion outside, especially now that the kids are older, they should have their own world, and she’s not worried about them being at a disadvantage.

But she couldn’t help feeling some regret.

It’s really difficult when sons grow up!

Looking at her grown sons, especially at Ping’an’s tall figure, she really missed those delightful times carrying him as a small bundle riding around in the sidecar.

Unlike the secluded path earlier, on the return from the sports field, they met quite a few pedestrians along the way, occasionally encountering military families with young children chatting along.

Ping’an watched his mom exchanging greetings with people with a smile in his eyes. His mom always told the three brothers to learn his dad’s social skills, handling things smoothly, and she seemed like a people-skill expert.

In his memory, his mom was always soft on the outside, firm on the inside, decisive and straightforward, with a mix of kindness and skepticism in her interactions with people...

He wanted to become such a person.
