Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1176: You Have Your Reasons for Not Saying

When May 1st said that, Zhang Guoqing wasn’t surprised at all. With his son’s temperament, the fact that he’d already taken his cousins along to make money for two years was already giving them a lot of face.

Besides, the printing factory had started running its own operations, and with the leftover gravy, May 1st wasn’t going to be interested in playing anymore.

"As long as you’re happy." Zhang Guoqing smiled, noncommittal. "They must’ve made quite a bit and should be satisfied. There’s no such thing in this world as getting the advantage forever."

May 1st tilted his head. "You don’t think I was too blunt?"

"What else do you want, hold their hands and lead them around?" Zhang Guoqing’s smile faded. "Has Shi Tou come to you?"

"No, Brother Shitou isn’t a greedy person." May 1st glanced at Zhou Jiao. "He’s graduating next year. I suggested he focus on his studies."

Zhou Jiao lowered her head and smiled as she handed the fruit plate to Zhang Guoqing. And he has the nerve to talk about his own dad—like father, like son!

"Oh? Has he decided where he’s going?"

"He didn’t say and I didn’t ask." May 1st reached out for an apple and weighed it in his hand. "Grandpa Zuo will probably make plans for him. If he needs anything from our family, Brother Shitou will come straight to you."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his son, who had lowered his head to peel the apple. "No chance if he comes to me. I can’t intervene. If it’s Zuo Lin, he’ll have..."

"Come to my mom? Then who’s supposed to speak up? My Second Uncle wouldn’t. My Second Aunt listens to my Second Uncle. Grandma Zuo speaking up is still not as good as you. If you talk to my mom, then it’s almost certain."

Zhang Guoqing glared at him, annoyed. "You’re quick, aren’t you! If your mom can hang in there a few more years, she can move up another step. If anyone comes to you, remember not to agree to things rashly."

Hearing that, May 1st immediately looked up. "What if Grandpa and Grandma come to you?"

"They won’t!" Zhang Guoqing said, then caught his son’s skeptical look and rolled his eyes at him. "They heard what I told those people who came visiting back in the old hometown!"

"You really handled it impartially?"

Zhang Guoqing’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "How else? Even my own son has to go to the battlefield and earn merit. Are my nephews supposed to be ranked higher than him?"

A flicker of worry passed through May 1st’s eyes as he looked at him: was he, as a son, going too far? His dad seemed to be overthinking it. He and his brothers truly weren’t jealous.

"Stop overthinking!" Zhang Guoqing ruffled his son’s hair. "Go and see if your grandma’s back from work. Let’s have dinner early tonight."

May 1st laughed at that, shoved the peeled apple into his hand, then stood up and bolted outside. "Dad, you have to eat it, okay?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at the apple in his hand and curled his lips in disgust. "Little brat did that on purpose. Of all the places to shove it, he had to shove it into this hand."

That’s what he said, but he still opened his mouth cheerfully and took a bite, chewed a few times, and praised, "My son really knows how to pick apples. It tastes pretty good."

Zhou Jiao watched him, amused: it wasn’t that his son knew how to pick apples, it was that with special-supply fruit there basically isn’t any difference.

After finishing the apple, Zhang Guoqing took the hot towel she handed over and wiped his hands before getting back to the point. "So who tipped our May 1st off this time?"

"Heh heh..." Zhou Jiao immediately took a letter out of her pocket and handed it to him with both hands, obediently. "Have they contacted you?"

Who were "they" supposed to be?

Normally when Zhou Jiao asked about people from the old hometown, she’d surely say "Dad and Mom." The reason she said "they" this time was because Zhang Guoqing knew the scope of who she meant was very broad.
