Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229: Chapter 1102: Do You Think I Should Go Out for a While?

The days of summer always seem endlessly long.

After a hurried night, there’s another long and scorching day. The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, remaining motionless for a long time.

The weather is unbearably hot.

The sun bakes the earth with its fierce rays, and there isn’t a single breath of wind all day. Even the trees within the mountain peaks droop spiritlessly without any vitality.

On a sweltering afternoon, not a single breeze stirs, and the cicadas cry out desperately, "Hot... hot..." Even ants are hard to find on the ground.

In the living room, National Day restlessly walked to the yard, pacing to the doorway, waiting expectantly under the shade until Zhou Jiao returned.

"Mom, is it going to rain in the next couple of days?"

Zhou Jiao chuckled and shook her head, "That’s something to ask the heavens. Why aren’t you inside enjoying the fan? It’s so hot outside."

National Day took the umbrella from her hand, held it up for her, while embracing her and leading her inside, lamenting, "Even the breeze is hot, it’s just a waste of money."

Zhou Jiao looked wordlessly at her son who was more than a head taller than herself.

Truly unaware of the blessings he has!

With an ice tray, an electric fan, and the ability to idle around and rest...

This level of comfort, is there anyone else in all of Huaxia who can enjoy it? She now suspects that before summer vacation, this child may have been skipping classes at school.

And the previous summer vacation when he went to the army...

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiao revealed a thoughtful smile. So, this is where the groundwork was laid for her to unravel—she was wondering why he disliked the heat!

"Hehe... Mom, a good man aspires to go far and wide, don’t you think I should go out and explore? Staying home all day reading, I’ll turn into a bookworm."

Zhou Jiao entered the living room silently, took a towel from the basin’s stand, and the water in the basin was icy—clearly, this child had placed ice cubes again.

She smiled quietly and cast a glance at her son.

National Day smiled ingratiatingly, "I don’t want to go to the beach for a vacation with them, nor do I want to remain home the entire summer, being alone at home is boring."

"Perfect timing, aren’t Shi Tou and the others going back to their hometown these days? Ask them to get an extra ticket, go back and spend a few days with your grandparents. I heard our home’s yard is planted with quite a few fruit trees."

"Mom, what’s there to see about fruit trees? The fruits haven’t even fully formed yet. Besides, if I go alone, there’s no company, and grandpa and grandma might still be in the provincial city."

"Mom, you’re so wise, surely you know where I want to go, right?"

How could Zhou Jiao not know?

Isn’t it just because she heard that Ping’an and Liu Yi are interning at the grassroots this summer? But she already has two sons who’ve become soldiers, and she doesn’t want the remaining son to be taken away someday.

Local university students are just fine.

The same university students, during summer vacation, some are enjoying romantic moments with their beloved, some are singing and talking passionately about the beautiful life...

But what about military academy students? What are her two sons doing right now?

Perhaps driving tanks over mountains, firing guns with precision, crawling and rolling under the blazing sun... Perhaps facing hardships she doesn’t know.

"Mom, since last winter, I haven’t gone down to the army for training, I wonder if I’ve regressed?" National Day said while observing her expression.

"I think, no matter what you do in the future, relying on others is unreliable, you should have good skills yourself. Look at grandpa, doesn’t he go out without worries?"
