Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1212

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1085: Truer Than Pearls

After some restoration, the winter backyard looks different from previous years, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Since the beginning of the year, Zhou Jiao hadn’t come over, but now, pushed by her son, she entered her courtyard — my goodness, it had turned into a world of ancient charm.

——The empty rooms have already been furnished with furniture and old items.

In the East Wing, Zhou Jiao lovingly touched several screen panels, thinking she could pick up needlework again, "Son, how many good things did you guys get?"

Seeing his mom was satisfied, Ping’an was delighted, "Haha, not much. We’re just missing a canopy bed, heard from Grandpa that we have one at home, so we didn’t place it here; having outsiders sleep on it would feel odd."

"These few screens were bartered with some porcelain items. My dad once said you like embroidery, but embedding gold foil and jade would seem tacky to you."

"The daybed was handpicked by my dad, though one foot was repaired. But my dad also found many types of flowers, and when spring comes, we’ll plant them so you can smell the fragrance every day. My grandpa even wanted to set up a swing in this yard for you to play, haha... but my dad argued it’s dangerous and vetoed it..."

"In the end, my grandpa had another plan. He said he’ll convert the East Wing of his courtyard into a large study, dedicated to collecting ancient books. The west wing will be transformed into a music room, solely for you and my grandma to play instruments.

Haha, my dad says grandpa is being retaliatory; grandpa says you, a good daughter, have been snatched away by this naughty boy, and I won’t let it go..."

Zhou Jiao laughed happily... a child loved by their father truly is fortunate.

Before the mother and son could leave the courtyard, sounds of dogs barking came from outside, followed by May 1st’s scolding voice.

"Our little treasures probably saw those two unfamiliar aunties."

Zhou Jiao chuckled and glanced at her son, "Little treasures? You three brothers intentionally picked those names, right?"

Ping’an, one hand in his pocket, tilted his head in deep thought, "How could it be? We quite like when Mom calls us Da Bao, Er Bao, Little Treasure."

"Really?"

"Truer than a pearl. Mom, listen." Ping’an smiled at her then suddenly shouted, "Hu Niu, Leopard Girl, come here..."

As his voice fell, two big dogs dashed over, accompanied by May 1st’s shout, "Da Bao, Er Bao, be careful, don’t scare my mom."

Zhou Jiao laughed so hard she doubled over. So, this is how they shared names, poor dogs living their lives having to remember two names.

May 1st ran over, sticking to her other side, "Mom, why are you here? We were about to finish up and fetch you from work to go home together."

Oh dear, speaking of work, Zhou Jiao nearly forgot she had to head back to work in the afternoon, quickly raising her hand to check her watch.

"Mom, there’s time, when it’s time, I’ll ride you over."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, it’s a different feeling being picked up by her son compared to her husband.

"Where’s your brother Er Bao?"

May 1st teased, looking at Ping’an, "Er Bao brother said with Da Bao brother here, he’s stationed over there."

Ping’an glared at him, then pet the big wolfdog that stood almost to his shoulder, "Hu Niu, bite him!"

May 1st quickly patted the approaching Hu Niu, "Shoo shoo, I just fed you a big plate of wild game."

Zhou Jiao cheerfully watched her two sons, then petted the remaining Leopard Girl’s head, "Did Old Yi scold you for these names?"
