Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1121: Girl, Did You Strike It Rich?

Under the street lamp, in front of the Zhou Family gate, Zhang Guoqing stood with one hand in his pocket, occasionally raising his wrist to check the time, and then stretching his neck to look out front.

After kicking up the nearby snow cover, wandering alone at the gate for several circles, lingering for quite a while, he finally waited for Zhous’ Jiaojiao, who came home late.

Even before she got close, Zhang Guoqing could already sense that his wife was radiating joy. Hmm, her steps seem very relaxed. Listen... she’s even humming a little tune.

Zhou Jiao quickly stepped forward and took his arm, "Why did you come out to wait for me again? It’s so cold. Didn’t Aunty say she called home and Aunt Chen didn’t mention it to you?"

Zhang Guoqing squeezed her hand and put it in his pocket, "She did. Babe, did you find a treasure?"

"Hehe... I heard a lot of good things, so I’m happy inside."

"Oh, did the old lady take you to an old sisters’ gathering?"

"No." Zhou Jiao peered around and quietly explained, "The old lady took me to do fortune-telling at that witch’s house who returned to Beijing that year."

Zhang Guoqing, chuckling, squeezed her hand, "What did she say to make you so happy?"

"Hehe, heaven’s secrets must not be divulged."

Zhang Guoqing smiled noncommittally, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I was worried about you, so after going back with the old lady, I rushed back. But I did eat some pastries on the car with her. What about you?"

"I ate a little. I thought the old lady would take you out for dinner." Zhang Guoqing held her tightly with heartache and quickly led her into the yard.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao giggled a few more times foolishly.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile, rare to see her so happy like a little mouse that stole some oil, judging by the momentum, she must have heard something good, feed her full first then interrogate her in bed.

Zhou Jiao suspiciously looked around the living room, seeing the doors were closed, she asked in surprise, "Is it just you at home tonight?"

"Yes, dad came back to change clothes and then went out after picking up mom, saying there are foreign guests tonight. He will stay out and not return. I saw no one at home, so I pushed Da Yi’s gathering."

"Didn’t you guys just have a drink together the night before?"

Zhang Guoqing hung her coat, waited for her to finish washing her hands, and led her to the dining room. If they keep talking, the dishes Aunt Chen brought over would get cold.

"That’s why I pushed it. No gathering is more important than my wife." Zhang Guoqing quickly summarized, no gathering compares to his wife.

Moreover, tonight’s gathering was different in nature from before.

The gathering a few days ago was for friends from the countryside returning to the city for a reunion, also to thank himself and Yi Jiefang for the help back then, a face-saver to be given.

If not for some unavoidable social engagements, he would rather not go out in the cold.

"Hu Xiaohui called me today, have you not met with Lin Zi for a long time? She also asked if we had forgotten they were still in Beijing city."

After Zhang Guoqing listened, he took a spoon and scooped a small bowl of soup, placed it in front of her, and gestured for her to take a sip before continuing, "It’s been a while since I’ve contacted Lin Zi. I heard him say he was going on a business trip again, I don’t know when he’ll be back. I thought he hadn’t returned yet.

I’ll call Lin Zi tomorrow, there’s quite a bit going on these days and I can’t get away, I’m also scheduled to meet someone this weekend and have to check next week’s schedule."

Zhou Jiao took a sip of the soup, pursed her lips, "I’ve already explained to Xiao Hui and invited them to come over and play when they have the time, it doesn’t have to be us going out."
