Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1270

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1142: Business Trip Back to Beijing 3

Just as Ping’an guessed, shortly after the end of the workday, his parents and Yi Jiefang and the others began to arrive at the old house one after another.

As expected by May 1st, Aunt Lu’s extra dishes had a chance to come in handy.

In the stone courtyard of the main house, an eight-immortal table was later added. After finishing Aunt Lu’s carefully prepared dinner, the group ate heartily and began to "split the loot".

Yi Jiefang wasn’t too interested in these things. He was intrigued by Zhou Jiao’s description of Jiang Province. "Hey, do you all think we should find some time to take a trip to the Northwest?"

Geng Dazhi shook his head, "It’s too far, not enough vacation time."

Yi Jiefang sighed, "Back in our school days, how stupid were we to spend each summer break at the beach? What a shame, damn it, what a shame."

Wan Dayong kicked him, "Your daughter is here."

Yi Jiefang dodged to the side to avoid his leg, casually waving his hand, "I’m just trying to learn from experience, so my Little Tangtang won’t become foolish at school. With my intelligence, as long as my daughter inherits even half of it, she doesn’t need to bother studying seriously."

"Keep boasting, boast all you want."

"What, don’t believe me? I’m just not better than my sister. It’s not a matter of intelligence; I just can’t stay focused. Otherwise, I would easily be first in class."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and shook his head. Seeing that his Little Tangtang was present, he refrained from exposing his old buddy’s shamelessness.

The not-so-young men were just blabbering about and occasionally kicking and punching each other jokingly, making the Ping An Brothers and the little girl giggle endlessly.

When they mentioned splitting the loot, there wasn’t much of value.

This time, Zhou Jiao brought back sacks, mostly filled with stones. Setting aside some local medicinal herbs, what’s left are large fruits like Hami melons and fragrant pears.

Fortunately, Zhou Jiao marked the sacks while preparing the items, with clear categories of local specialties like Hami melons, raisins, red dates, nuts, etc.

Thus, as they chatted and joked, they each took some and packed them into bags. It didn’t take much time; they obviously couldn’t carry everything home.

On the way home, Zhou Jiao conveniently delivered gifts to the Cheng Family and Wen Family. For her master and brothers, they could only wait until the next day.

Looks like a lot, but when you divide it, it’s not much per person.

Just like those Hami melons and fresh fruits, although they are cheap locally, they take up a lot of space and incur considerable shipping fees. So, she had already stuffed most of them into her space.

Zhang Guoqing, familiar with her hamster-like habits, watching her generous demeanor, was afraid of laughing, so he quickly pinched his thigh to hold in his laughter.

"When we have time, spend some money to hire someone to move the two batches of stones into the garden. Whether for piling rockery or anything, get them moved—seeing them in the warehouse and front yard is annoying."

"Sure, whatever you say goes."

After discussing trivial matters, Zhou Jiao brought up more serious topics.

They briefly talked at noon; he hurried off to work afterward. When he got off work, Yi Jiefang was in the car, leaving her little time to inquire about many things.

"Tomorrow I’ll send the package to dad and mom; do you have anything to send them?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, "Better not send anything for now. My second sister-in-law is leaving these days; let’s see if dad and mom will come first."

Zhou Jiao suddenly realized, "Yue’er must be about to give birth, right?"

Zhang Guoqing gave her a side glance. How could a man like him pay attention to niece-in-law’s childbirth?

Zhou Jiao awkwardly lowered her head and picked up her teacup, "If I remember correctly, her due date is mid-November Gregorian calendar. It’s already August, so my second sister-in-law is indeed coming.

I’ll submit my report tomorrow, and after delivering gifts to my master and brothers, I’ll visit Yue’er. Been so long since I’ve been there; I wonder if Aunt Zuo will have any complaints?"
