Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1244

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1117: Something Different

After having supper, saying goodnight, the family went back to their rooms.

Finished cleansing, Zhou Jiao looked into the mirror on the dressing table and applied some skincare lotion, lightly patting it on. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhang Guoqing staring at her and threw a flirtatious glance.

Zhang Guoqing, seeing this, exaggeratedly leaned back, rolled on the bed, "Oh no, I’m poisoned again."

Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, stood up, walked to the bed, and slapped him, "Confess. What were you whispering with dad earlier?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Guoqing grabbed her with his big hand, pulled her into his arms, lifted the quilt and rolled to one side, tucking her in, and playfully fiddled with her delicate hands, briefly explaining in a soft voice.

"Oh, just this matter? I thought you were snitching on me."

"You heartless little one, your brother loves you too much."

Zhang Guoqing released her hand, couldn’t help but reach to muss up her hair, withdrawing his hand before she got too annoyed.

"Hmph, you rogue."

Seeing the lazy person in his arms, looking like a cat whose fur had been ruffled, Zhang Guoqing chuckled softly, wrapped his arms tightly, lowered his head to breathe deeply at her neck.

"It tickles."

It’s driving me crazy!

Zhang Guoqing patted her butt, "Go to sleep, you still have work tomorrow."

Zhou Jiao didn’t dare cause trouble, quickly agreed, shifted to find a comfortable spot, "Then I can go over on the weekend, you handle your important business."

"No need, we’ll have Xiao Zhu send some things over later."

Zhou Jiao hesitated, "Do you think that’s okay?"

"Didn’t you just go tonight? There’s no reason for me, an uncle, to visit the nephew’s wife. Let’s wait until the May 1st break for him to visit the campus."

"Weren’t you planning to go to the university tonight?"

Zhang Guoqing’s face turned awkward, immediately threatened, "Looks like you won’t need to sleep tonight."

"Okay, okay, you’re generous." Zhou Jiao quickly surrendered; her period had just ended, she didn’t dare stir the flame. "You haven’t told me if you got in touch with the second brother."

Zhang Guoqing playfully patted her, "If it weren’t for your suggestion to call, I could have driven there to catch up with you. It’s not easy to go there; according to the second brother, the sister-in-law’s business isn’t finished yet."

"Still making clothes to sell?"

"Probably, hard to say over the phone. If you ask me, if they can’t come anytime soon, it’s okay. She’s just pregnant, what’s the rush? But the second brother seems thrilled, plans to have Mai Qing come over to help out his sister-in-law."

Zhou Jiao didn’t have time to laugh at his double standards; quickly asked, "But the child is still studying, isn’t this nonsense?"

"I did advise him, but he has his own plan, wants Shi Tou and the couple to tutor Mai Qing nearby."

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Might as well say it’s favoring boys over girls! She’s worried what if this child is a girl? With family planning approaching, even having consecutive births seems rushed.

Zhang the Second is great in everything, except this one flaw! How come he doesn’t appreciate Mai Sui’s filial piety? If it were her, she surely wouldn’t wholeheartedly support her parents.

But speaking of Mai Sui, Zhou Jiao suddenly remembered, "Is Mai Sui seeing someone? When she came for the new semester, I observed her face, the romantic star seems active."
