Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1053: You or Me?

Zhou Jiao looked at May 1st with a half-smile, "Do you want to say it, or should I?"

"Mom, hehe, you found out?"

"What do you think?"

"I just wanted to surprise you."

Oh dear, the only thing you surprise me with is shock, never delight!

Zhou Jiao silently thought to herself, looking at May 1st with pursed lips. If he didn’t explain well now, she’d really use a whip on him!

The look in her eyes was too scary! May 1st, sneaking a peek at her expression, quickly scooted to her side and leaned against the sofa armrest, wrapping his arm around Zhou Jiao’s shoulder.

"Mom, I never intended to keep it from you, really, just worried you’d be too anxious."

"Get to the point!"

May 1st rolled his eyes, "Wasn’t there an announcement in the paper about detailed ways to recruit graduate students? I found out that graduate students get a stipend of thirty-something a month.

How could I miss out on such a good opportunity, right? My brothers and I discussed it, and Big Brother told me to give it a try first, since next year we won’t be at the same school anyway."

Zhou Jiao, speechless, turned to look at her youngest son, leaving his big brother to take the blame again. "Not bad, aiming high, looking down even on college."

Is she still upset?

May 1st secretly felt relieved that he had left a way out.

He happily announced, "Mom, who am I? Your son wouldn’t burn bridges. I went ahead and signed up for the college entrance exam too. Just in time to go in with Big Brother."

Zhou Jiao felt even more worried hearing him say this, feeling like he’d left out his second brother and was playing on his own. She immediately looked at June 1st.

June 1st smiled back at her gaze, "Mom, don’t worry about me. I’m definitely going to military school. For May 1st, it doesn’t matter whether he takes it early or late, since we won’t be in the same school."

Compared to May 1st, Zhou Jiao trusted June 1st more.

This child has always been very purposeful since he was little, with a determined attitude, unlike his free-spirited younger brother.

Ping’an, whose topic with his brothers concluded, put an arm around Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, don’t feel like we aren’t considerate. We never meant to hide it from you. We just planned to announce it two days before the exam, really didn’t want to make you worry."

June 1st leaned his head against Zhang Guoqing’s shoulder, nuzzling, "Dad, from now on, let us protect you and Mom."

At this moment, Zhang Guoqing was speechless, feeling his nose tingle, patting his son, "Dad, it’s better if you announce it."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded slightly, "The military school will resume national admissions next year. But before that, to train a batch of high-quality officers, they’ll also participate in the college entrance exam on the same day..."

Before he could finish, the Ping An Brothers immediately sat up straight, eyes bright and focused on Zhou Xiaozheng.

"... And your performances over the years have been recognized, and you’ve been nominated. That’s how it is, so think it over."

With Zhou Jiao’s consent, June 1st immediately raised his hand, "Grandpa, I don’t want to waste another year. I’m already 16 by nominal age."

Miao Lishan immediately countered, "14 years old, even if you add it, it’s only 15."

Zhou Xiaozheng gently shook his head at her. The key point now wasn’t the age but that this child was truly determined, and it’s better to seize the opportunity to enter a regular military school for further studies.

May 1st, waiting for June 1st to express his stance, immediately turned to Ping’an.
