Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1165: Dad and Mom

From leaving home in the morning, it’s already past one in the afternoon, Zhang Guoqing asked Xiao Liu to drive the car around to the town to buy some meat buns and steamed buns.

He’s afraid of running into acquaintances, but Xiao Liu doesn’t have that concern.

Besides, Zhang Guoqing estimated internally that the officials that rushed to his house upon hearing the news would be all present, it’s best for him to avoid them. It would be so awkward to refuse gifts face-to-face.

Some people might even find a lot of excuses, like claiming relatives ties that are distant, saying it’s just family visits.

What can you say?

To prove innocence, you still have to prepare a good gift in return.

It’s really troublesome.

It’s fitting to leave these first batch of visitors to his parents to handle the refusals.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Guoqing got out of the car, he saw the courtyard tightly closed, though the old yard gate was half open, and upon hearing the car sound, his mother joyfully rushed out to the door.

"Xiao Wu, I didn’t dare stay at your place, several groups of people came from this morning till now, I saw they all brought gifts, so I didn’t dare let them into the house."

Zhang Guoqing gave his mother a thumbs up, "No wonder you’re my mom!"

Zhou Jiao quickly asked, "Mom, you didn’t tire yourself out, did you?"

Mother Zhang happily waved her hand, "They were polite. I told them my son is in the military and can’t accept civilian things, otherwise he would be punished.

How could they dare?

I was worried they would come to discuss serious matters, so I asked Mai Qing to register their names and units, and those people were happy about it. Though they all said they would come to visit during the New Year."

Zhou Jiao held onto her and praised her while walking, "Mom, you’re really amazing, I couldn’t handle these things."

"This is nothing." Mother Zhang delightfully allowed her daughter-in-law to lead her into the courtyard, "I saved some food for you, how come the kids didn’t come back with you?"

"Soon, did you and dad eat yet?"

Zhou Jiao didn’t dare tell her that the sons had slipped away early, but judging by the situation, they hadn’t returned yet, she worriedly glanced towards Daqing Mountain’s direction.

"We ate." While speaking, Mother Zhang noticed the silence behind her, turned around curiously, "Why hasn’t Xiao Wu brought Xiao Liu in yet?"

"Oh, he must be talking to someone outside." Zhou Jiao quickly changed the subject, pulling her towards the living room, "Mom, have the village pigs been slaughtered?"

Before getting out of the car, Zhang Guoqing gave her a task, to try to find a way to pull her mother-in-law indoors first, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to make it to the market in Ma Liutun tomorrow.

"Oh, look at my memory. The plan was to slaughter the pigs on the 26th, but didn’t your dad know you were coming back? He thought of sharing with some families.

Later, it was your second sister-in-law who remembered, she said you love to eat pork dishes. You haven’t tasted it in so many years, so she asked Qingfeng’s wife to save a pig, all planned for tomorrow morning."

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law has been thoughtful!"

"She just thinks about food!"

After saying this, Mother Zhang laughed heartily, "But the second household, they’re really not bad. She worried that I and your dad... Mai Qing didn’t have them moved to the provincial city first..."

This matter was already mentioned last night, Zhou Jiao didn’t break it, and praised again. If her mother-in-law could talk to her a bit, it was due to closeness, otherwise, she wouldn’t bother talking to her.

Zhang Guoqing could avoid his mother, but couldn’t avoid his father.

Even though Mr. Zhang was chatting at his brother’s house, he was still thinking about his youngest son’s family. When the sound of the car rang out, he politely chatted a bit more before sneaking away.
