Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1105: Sailing the Seas Requires a Helmsman

Boxes of cartons were moved to the bedroom, and the wardrobe doors were flung open.

Zhou Jiao looked at her mom with a smile, "How is it? I told you there were a lot, didn’t I?"

Miao Lishan pretended she was deaf. She couldn’t hear!

She pulled out a pair of blue denim bell-bottoms and a light-colored Dacron shirt, placing them on the bed, gesturing for her to try them on while she continued to select.

Miao Lishan could tell at a glance that many of these clothes, although brand new and clean, were from more than a decade ago. She didn’t believe it and tugged on them—the fabric was truly sturdy.

Her Jiao Jiao really was a little household magician!

"A good horse with a good saddle."

Just as she was about to put them on, Zhou Jiao hesitated for a moment and then changed her mind.

She eventually took out a box of jewelry from the secret compartment in the wardrobe.

"Mom, I’ll wear each style for you to see."

Miao Lishan had no objections; it was just a way to pass the time.

Since the three grandsons ran out of the house, the ones left were either working overtime or attending meetings. She was quite bored.

Zhou Jiao glanced disdainfully at the large bell-bottom jeans and the light pink Dacron shirt on the bed—these weren’t her style at all.

She picked out a pair of ironed black high-waisted trousers and a white long-sleeved shirt.

After putting on the shirt and trousers, she tucked the hem of the white long-sleeved shirt into the waistband and took out her favorite imperial green jewelry set from the jewelry box.

She rolled up her long, once-again-grown hair and fastened it with an imperial green hairpin, then draped an imperial green jade bead necklace around her neck.

The bracelet graced her snow-white wrist, akin to the verdant water encircling the wrist, with a pair of stud earrings added and the necklace faintly visible at her neck, it was so beautiful that Miao Lishan was mesmerized.

"No wonder they say beauty with jade, beauty with jade. Jiao Jiao, never take off this set of jewelry in the future. Jade nurtures people; just wear it like that."

Zhou Jiao smiled silently and nodded.

Let her mom be happy first; however, as a civil servant, she couldn’t act recklessly.

Moreover, she had her grandmother Gu Mingzhu’s heirloom—Mutton Fat Jade Pendant. For so many years, except in summer, it was the only item she kept close.

The next time, Zhou Jiao tried on each cheongsam, long dress, and even donned several pairs of denim bell-bottoms, wearing each piece of jewelry extensively.

"Mom, look, don’t I have a lot of clothes?"

Looking at her delicate daughter, Miao Lishan laughed silently, "Would you even wear the cheongsam outside? You still need a few outfits for events to go out in."

"Alright, set a time, and we’ll go together, mother and daughter. You should prepare some clothes too." Zhou Jiao agreed upon her mom’s persistent requests.

"That’s right, also buy a few outfits for your mother-in-law." Miao Lishan stopped for a moment after speaking, "Did your parents-in-law regret transferring their household registration to the county? Now that land is divided to households."

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "Why regret it? Household registration is hard to transfer to the city, but it’s easy to transfer to the village. Moreover, at their age, if they really got land, they couldn’t handle it."

"I wonder if your parents-in-law will move back to the village after this autumn harvest? Your dad said it’s a great thing for the country and the people, and it was almost unanimously approved in meetings before."

"No, Zhang the Second is a deputy director now, he’s someone who values face and respects elders. With the household registration in his hands, he wouldn’t agree for the old couple to return to the village."

As for the great thing for the country and the people that her dad mentioned?

That is indeed true!

According to Zhang the Second’s letter.

—This year’s harvest is expected to break records.

It’s not hard to understand.

After contracting to households, only about 20% of the public grain needs to be handed in, the remaining 80% belongs to them.
