Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1238

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1111: Just Reliving the Old Days

Propped against a bicycle, the scroll of calligraphy and painting doesn’t take up much space, and it’s no issue to strap the package onto one’s back.

But that doesn’t ensure that each pair of porcelain can be safely taken back. Even though they’ve chosen the smallest ones, they’re still fragile items, right?

Fortunately, before coming, Zhang Guoqing’s bag was packed with enough supplies, including black bags and strings, so securing and safely carrying them wasn’t a problem with careful handling.

The downside was that these bicycles ended up being useless, and they had to free up a hand to push them.

On the way there, they were slow finding the spot, and the return couldn’t be quick either.

The most frustrating part was, not only was the car’s rendezvous point further away, but the two buddies had to take winding routes to avoid any tails.

After walking for over half an hour, Yi Jiefang finally heard his buddy declare the coast clear and couldn’t help but muse, "What are we doing this for?"

Zhang Guoqing grinned, "Just reliving the old days."

Back then, he and this guy would rush to various black markets by the end of the year, not only was the money good, but there was also plenty of great stuff.

"Hey." Yi Jiefang’s eyes lit up as he heard this, "I must say, it’s been years, we’re getting rusty, should we take another trip to the black market?"

"You’ve got quite the playful spirit!"

"I can’t help it, if we stop playing, we’ll really get old. Xiao Wu, do you feel old when you see the kids growing up?"

Zhang Guoqing burst into a soft laugh.

"I often think about our school days, how carefree those times were. Besides classes, every day was filled with playing ball, watching movies, sneaking out at midnight for cabbage, stealing melons during agriculture lessons, going wherever we wanted..."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a laugh.

Recalling the past often brings back pleasant memories, forgetting the backaches from farm work and the tough years when even a piece of meat was a luxury.

"After graduation, we agreed to have a reunion every five years, but over the years, only a few of us old classmates in Beijing have gathered. I wonder how many will come this year?"

"I doubt many. Some are still buried in the Northwest Research Institute and probably can’t leave. But classmates in neighboring provinces might actually come."

Chatting and laughing all the way, they arrived at the car rendezvous point near dawn.

Yi Jiefang didn’t go to pick up his daughter, instead returned directly to the Big Courtyard and went home.

His Little Tangtang has a special room at her godmother’s place and usually stays a night each month, having a better time than at home.

On the upstairs balcony, Zhou Jiaoyuan, alone and distractedly flipping through a book, contemplated going to the gate, worried that her father downstairs might be restless without company.

The car sounded in the early hours of the morning, easy for someone like Zhou Jiaoyuan to hear from afar. She waited for a short while, and sure enough, her husband came in with stuff.

"Xiao Wu is back?"

"Dad, you haven’t gone to sleep yet?"

"Just got up for the bathroom. Go rest, you have work tomorrow."

Standing at the second-floor stairway, Zhou Jiaoyuan smiled upon hearing this.

Zhang Guoqing went upstairs and saw his little wife squatting there, smiling like a little fox. Seeing him, she raised an eyebrow, light-footedly stepped up a few stairs ahead.

The couple silently shared a handshake and entered the bedroom.
