Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1122: A Rare Chicken in Life!

When Aunt Chen came over to clear the dishes, she suggested, "Why don’t I prepare it in the morning and bring it over for you? You can heat it up in the canteen at lunchtime."

Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile, "Let’s not do anything special."

"Then listen to Xiao Wu."

"Alright. Aunt, see if we have any broth at home; it’s been a while since anyone’s had a drink at home. A pot of hot soup in this cold weather can warm them up a bit."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing stopped her, "It’s getting late; those few dishes to accompany the drinks will be enough."

Aunt Chen glanced at Zhou Jiao and nodded with a smile, "I’ll still listen to Xiao Wu. The sooner you eat, the sooner you can rest."

Once she left, Zhou Jiao, embarrassed and angry, immediately reached out and pinched Zhang Guoqing’s waist. It was so mortifying! What time is it now?

"Wife, go easy, you misunderstood..."

"Sleep in the study tonight!"

"It’s so cold~ Aunt Lu recently came up with a great dish."

"Don’t change the subject."

While talking, the couple heard laughter and conversation at the front door.

Zhang Guoqing knew it’d be hard to change her mind right now, so he set it aside for the moment.

Of course, he couldn’t bear to see Zhou Jiao having lunch without a nap, especially in front of ’Commander Tang,’ but he understood his silly wife was probably worrying about something or other.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

"Hurry out and greet your buddies?"

"Uncle Zhou isn’t home?"

"Look at you, the coward! Uncle Zhou won’t eat you!"

"Old Mr. Zhou indeed isn’t home. But from what I’ve noticed, with Xiao Zhou around, Xiao Wu might be more reluctant to go out. I heard lately he’s been..."

"Hahaha... even knowing that, no wonder you’re afraid of your wife..."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and shook his head, "These bastards!"

Zhou Jiao gave him a sideways glance with a smile, nudged him to signal him to hurry outside, otherwise those jokers would start talking nonsense. She then turned around and headed to the kitchen.

"...Xiao Wu, you don’t know how bad Dayong, this bastard, is. Tonight, he made us reminisce about the old cabbages..."

In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao listened to Ding Datou’s complaints and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen laughed, "This house needs all four of you little masters to be lively." Her implied meaning was that it would be quite lonely if it were just the father and daughter all the time.

Zhou Jiao nodded slightly with a smile. Her dad enjoyed meeting friends outside, while she herself wasn’t used to having gatherings of sisters at home.

Especially after marriage, women tend to speak boldly. Her home was full of men, so it was quite inconvenient. It was better to go out, always having an excuse to leave.

"What’s wrong with cabbages? You haven’t seen the kids in the big courtyard before; they were so happy, active and lively. Everyone chased each other, helped push small carts, delivering vegetables from house to house..."

When it comes to this, how could Zhou Jiao not know?

Cabbage is the staple for winter in the North.

Every year, in late October or early November, the vegetable store outside the courtyard usually agrees on a time with the courtyard to specially serve soldiers and their families.

On the day of selling winter cabbages, the big courtyard’s plaza would have banners hanging, be brightly lit, and bustling with activity.

The soldiers, their families, and children in the courtyard would all be mobilized—some lined up, some moved the vegetables, some delivered them—like celebrating New Year.

It’s lively and cheerful, already a scene in the courtyard.
