Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1113: Inside and Outside the Circle

Not far from the foot of the mountain, in the suburbs, there is still that two-story small building where the gathering takes place.

It’s sunset, but the sky is not yet dark.

The living room door on the first floor is open, and more than ten large tables are arranged in the house and the yard. In the eastern corner of the courtyard, two chefs are cooking, while the assistants serve the dishes to the tables in turn.

If someone unaware saw it, they would definitely mistake it for a wedding celebration.

But today, it really isn’t a wedding or an elderly birthday.

Young men and women around 20 years old are entering in groups of threes and fives from outside the door, while more than twenty who had been waiting inside come out of the living room.

Dong Hao, one of the hosts of tonight’s event, gives a signal towards the eastern corner while everyone exchanges talks.

Unlike usual, this time, the Ping’an Brothers start to disperse into separate circles, chatting and joking. If you have a keen eye, you can spot some clues.

Around Ping’an are all original close friends, while Liu Yi is arm in arm with school friends he grew up with since childhood. As for May 1st, around him are children of military and government officials.

Among these people are those who have just returned after getting redressed with their grandparents and parents, subconsciously forming a circle, similar to the past, with hierarchical distinctions.

Unlike the young men, the girls are much more casual, talking more with those they get along with based on the depth of their relationships, and avoiding those they have estrangement with.

Like Fang Yueya, she now dislikes Mo Xiaobei, but she still suppresses her temper and greets other sisters with a faint smile.

As for Mo Xiaobei, she knows the little girl has complaints about her, and while they usually have little quarrels, she doesn’t dare overstep during this gathering.

No matter the personal relationship, nobody is foolish enough to show their true colors here, lest they ruin the event and disqualify themselves from future gatherings.

If truly excluded by everyone, it goes beyond just children’s conflicts, and can seriously affect the family’s status.

Reality is just that cruel.

Recall those little pals who used to play here, not even qualified to enter the less than fifty-person gathering.

Unlike the girls’ small thoughts, the young men who see themselves as men are much more open and don’t discuss so-called luxury items.

The topics they discuss pull each other closer, bridging the gap of time apart, and clearly becoming good buddies.

Even family disputes and competitions seem to dissolve here with laughter.

Those who come here are the promising juniors of their families, nearly all trained to be smart and know that there are no eternal enemies in this world.

Of course, the circle is big, and all kinds of personalities exist.

Everyone knows each other’s background well.

Besides gathering with everyone, May 1st has other motives unlike his two brothers.

As for others’ thoughts, he didn’t pay much attention.

Following his family’s usual way, whether newly reinstated families or long-time friends, there’s no conflict, avoiding complexities.

Catching the moment before sitting, he’s walking in circles with a buddy.

"Your cousin, the one who’s fair and can fight, always snatches your ice cream, why haven’t I seen him?"

Zhan Zhao Ming laughs, "You remember him, Third Brother? He’s now working at the TV factory, looking all polished, and has become a section chief."
