Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1057: What’s the Rush?

"What’s there to think about? Let them brothers and sisters handle it themselves."

After a long-awaited sunny winter day arrived, Mother Zhang moved a rattan chair to lean against the wall corner, feeling drowsy from the warmth. When her husband asked, she didn’t even want to open her eyes.

This old man truly doesn’t know how to enjoy life!

Why do you wander aimlessly every day?

The town’s big enough for you to roam, yet you insist on going to the village in this cold weather to chat with old buddies? Not to mention if they even like it, what if you fall?

"I just want to chat with my parents a bit."

Upon hearing Mr. Zhang’s words, she was instantly lost for words. As a daughter-in-law who hasn’t visited the graves, complaining would be utterly unreasonable.

Mr. Zhang patted her head, laughing cheerfully, "You sure know how to enjoy. Why don’t you go find out when the announcement is coming?"

"What’s the rush? I reckon once there’s news, the broadcast will sound."

The "broadcast" Mother Zhang referred to was radio announcements. Usually, whenever new documents came from the town, they were posted and explained over the radio simultaneously.

"Just sit back and relax for a while. These past few days, Xiao Zuo and the others have been monitoring that piece of land. Once there’s news, they’ll all rush over."

Hearing her words, Mr. Zhang hesitated before sitting next to her against the wall, reminiscing and bringing up old matters again, "I heard once they pass the exams, February will see the start of school, and since Xiao Wu is far away, we should remind him so he doesn’t get hurt by delay."

"Alright, I’ve got it in mind." Mother Zhang said while opening her eyes and turning towards her husband, "You really should handle something sooner."

Mr. Zhang, in the midst of stuffing tobacco into his pipe, paused upon hearing this, "What’s the matter? We’ve bought everything needed with this month’s coupon, is there still something to queue for?"

Mother Zhang suddenly sat up straight, craning her neck towards the entrance, whispering, "The children’s stuff should be returned to them."

Once she finished speaking, Mr. Zhang laughed heartily.

He thought it was something big, turned out to be this. How could he not have considered? But he was hesitating whether to wait for their grandsons and granddaughters-in-law’s results to come out.

He was worried once the items reached their hands, they’d all show off in front of their young wives. Then, if someone doesn’t succeed, it’ll stir up trouble.

At least wait until the results come out; regardless of success or failure, by the time school starts, the young couples’ situations would be set, and everything will be easy to discuss.

Such ideas from his wife plunged Mother Zhang into silence: Both sides had their points.

Mr. Zhang glanced at his wife, lit the tobacco with a match and took a puff, exhaling slowly.

Who knows what he thought, but he soon chuckled, "Save your brain! I’ll call them in tonight to sort this out, lest you stay up all night tossing and turning."

"Why not wait a bit longer?"

Mr. Zhang laughed uncontrollably. His wife would come up with all sorts of ideas, clearly just idle and bored, overthinking unnecessarily.

"I know what I’m doing."

"Okay, big family matters are yours to decide."

Mr. Zhang chuckled at her words, "Really?"

"Like I’d lie about that? Which thing haven’t I listened to you about?"

"You remember saying that."

"Old man, what sneaky plans are you brewing again?"

"You’ll find out in a few days, it’s good stuff."
