Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1300

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1172: Miao Tianming Returns to China

After the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month, it was the day for Zhang Guoqing’s family to set off.

Unlike previous years, Mother Zhang sent them off with a broad smile. As she put it, shedding tears during the first month was seen as bad luck.

Whether it was due to superstition or become accustomed to frequent separations, Zhang Guoqing felt much better that his mother could say goodbye with a smile.

Waving goodbye to his parents and brothers who were seeing him off to the car, Zhang Guoqing knew that in a few years he wouldn’t be able to return, but fortunately, his parents were healthy.

They arrived in Beijing on this day, and Aunt Chen had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Spare rib soup, stir-fried lung slices, braised pork, and more filled the entire table; she seemed eager to use up all the supplies from the past period.

Perhaps because he had been stuck in the city for too long, Zhang Guoqing felt a sense of finally being home when he stepped off the train onto this land.

To confirm this feeling, he glanced at his three sons. Indeed, it wasn’t just him experiencing this illusion. His Brother Ping’an and the others were clearly smiling.

Ah, it was difficult to see his second son smiling in public, indicating how delighted the child was.

Now that they were back, they naturally had to visit the mischievous old man, Doctor Hu, before going to work tomorrow.

The day after, after they both went to work, the aftereffects of a long vacation kicked in.

Unable to take their three sons to school, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao were caught up in their busy work schedule. Having been idle for a while, they found it somewhat hard to adjust all at once.

But life had to go on, and they had to continue living as they should.

Zhou Xiaozheng returned from his visit abroad, and seeing them busy, yet resting adequately, he didn’t remind them much, as he was even busier.

During this time, several letters arrived from Miao Tianming overseas, mostly consisting of casual greetings. Seeing that he didn’t mention investment matters, it put Zhou Jiao at ease.

From an investment perspective, letting a large sum of money just sit in the bank was imprudent. However, Zhou Jiao had considered much and decided to wait a bit longer.

Firstly, as major events she had overlooked became increasingly clear through the financial materials sent by Miao Tianming, she needed to consider them more thoroughly.

Secondly, time was also a factor; over time, a person’s limits could be tested, and if possible, she even considered going abroad.

Without meeting the head of the Miao family, no matter how much she trusted Miao Tianming, Zhou Jiao didn’t dare trust anyone else in the Miao family.

For a big family like theirs, especially one that thrives abroad, she didn’t believe that profit was more important than kinship. Besides, what kinship did the Miao family have with her?

Millions might not tempt them, but tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions?

Currently, as the Miao family treated her kindly, Zhou Jiao was even more cautious to act rashly. Now, she just wanted to remain idle and wait to see the Miao family’s reaction.

And so she waited and waited, more than half a year passed, until New Year’s Day of 1982, and the anticipated return of Miao Tianming, who had promised to come back the following year.

"Sister, I can finally see you."

Time truly is the best testimony!

Zhou Jiao gazed at the unchanged Miao Tianming in front of her and suddenly burst into hearty laughter, and Miao Tianming, with reddened eyes, followed suit with a silly grin.
