Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1000: No Need for the Sack After All

"Well, isn’t it so? You didn’t say anything, but wait, where have I seen you before?"

"Maybe it’s a young intellectual from a nearby production team..."

"Your eyesight is really poor. Didn’t you see that those are Old Zhang’s kids? I estimate they are all Old Zhang’s children. I heard yesterday that their kid from Beijing came back."

"Oh my gosh, dear mother, it’s just like a golden baby! No wonder they look so familiar..."

National Day couldn’t help but laugh at the mention of a golden baby. His mother’s nickname is still so prominent~

Ping’an couldn’t sustain himself under everyone’s gaze, so he put on his mask again and pulled up his coat collar. Compared to the military families in the Big Courtyard, people’s stares here are even more blatant and unrestrained...

Especially as more and more young ladies came up to find the Mai sisters, and each would glance shyly at him. What the hell is this? Ladies, take it easy, I’m still just a young sprout!

Ping’an didn’t realize that in the countryside there is also the saying "Big Three Embrace Gold Bricks." Besides, what does he represent? Beyond his background, there’s also his looks.

Which young lady doesn’t like a handsome youth?

Even some girls who knew they had no hope of marrying into the Zhang Family, they’d want to take a few more glances at him, then have a topic to chatter about with their girlfriends later.

When an unknown female intellectual surrounded them looking for a topic, Ping’an started to emit cold vibes, regretting coming over to see what nonsense wild kids there were.

He wanted to watch people put on a show, and now he had become the monkey himself.

"Hey little bro, here, these pumpkin seeds are delicious."

Liu Yi glanced sideways at the other person without words; who’s your little bro? This lady sure has a lot of face, can you stop using your tiny eyes to randomly glance at my brother?

May 1st shook his hand with a smile, "Auntie, thank you, but it’s too cold to eat snacks right now."

This "Auntie" immediately prompted someone to snicker, making the other party’s face change color.

On seeing this, May 1st continued chatting, expressing he was a considerate good baby, and asked, "Auntie, where are you from? How many years have you been here?"

The other party paused, gazed deeply at National Day, and replied with a smile, "Hai City, little guy, have you been there?"

"Oh, Hai City, a nice place. Our team also has intellectuals from Hai City; we’ve passed through a few times. It’s a big city, and right now the weather isn’t as cold."

"Yes, I’ve been here for over six years, and I don’t know how the city has changed..." said the other party, lost in memories. "Crab shell yellow, pork chop rice cakes, little bun snacks... ...all forgotten what they taste like..."

The yearning for home and family touched a group of young people far away, and gradually they talked about the fun of the New Year at home in past years, as if they could find a bit of motivation in these memories.

They’ve been here too long, long enough to have given up hope of returning to the city. The courage of the past is drained in the day-in and day-out, year-after-year of fieldwork, and the distant home has become the place they long for.

The young intellectuals here, some of whom voluntarily applied back then to go down to the countryside for work, all want to leave. But leaving? Easier said than done.

One family with retired elders to fill in positions can transfer back, one family has influence...

Under such circumstances, not to mention whether siblings are favored at home, those with influence have already transferred back to the city, and indeed, some returned only to face family decline and adversity again.

Thus, naturally, some choose to band together or find a partner locally and settle down. Seeking a mate, Ping’an is too far out of reach, but Zhang Mingyou, such a big handsome guy, isn’t that...

While the girls focused their attention on Zhang Mingyou, the three brothers of Ping’an were quite delighted in his misfortune—let’s see how you enjoy the show!

The young man eyeing Mai Miao is twenty-three, a county town electrician. In May 1st’s words, someone who collects electricity fees.

As soon as the movie ended, the gathered folks each went back home. Except, Dong Zhijun was still not looking for his mother, continuing to escort his sweetheart back to the village.

Listen...

"If you want to watch a movie, I’ll accompany you to the cinema next time, it’s not worth freezing in the cold right now. It’s lucky you have so many brothers accompanying you, it wouldn’t be safe otherwise."

"...Mm..."

"Your new sister-in-law didn’t make things difficult for you, did she?"

"Seems like a nice person."

"Who doesn’t seem nice to you? Hehe...My mom asked when I would come to your house for the New Year, can you give a time?"

"..."

"I want my grandpa to hurry up and set the date with your dad, is that okay? I’ve prepared everything that needs to be done at home, just missing a lady of the house."

"...Before I can visit, my three brothers have to marry sister-in-laws..."

"Then there are still two left. Tell me, what type do your brothers like? I’ll have the women in my family search for options early."

"...Rubbish..."

The cold north wind howled, and Dong Zhijun deliberately lagged behind everyone, as he pushed the bike, watching his "intended one," speaking softly.

The keen hearing of the Ping’an trio made them feel a bit embarrassed. This side hasn’t even gotten engaged yet, already talking about missing the lady of the house—they must be truly anxious.
