Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1307

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1179: Government-Sponsored Study Abroad

Beautiful times always make people feel that time passes quickly, slipping away in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday, still pasting window decorations and hearing the alternating sound of fireworks; now, it’s almost the time when spring blossoms again in a year.

On the weekend, at dusk, May 1st took off his overcoat, wearing a light jacket, and parked his motorcycle at his own doorstep.

"Quickly go inside, your mom was just at the door talking about how your brother and others have come back, and wondering why you weren’t home today. She even planned to send someone to your school."

"There were some activities at school," May 1st said, smiling at Aunt Chen, "Grandma Chen, is there anything special for dinner tonight? I’m craving your braised pork with preserved vegetables."

"Yes, there’s a big plate."

"I knew Grandma Chen loves me the most."

After amusing Aunt Chen, May 1st entered the living room and looked around on purpose, "Is Grandpa not home?"

Ping’an pointed towards the direction of the study, "He just went to answer the phone."

"Dad, there’s something I want to discuss with you." May 1st said to Zhang Guoqing and then smiled at Zhou Jiao. He knew his mom supported him studying abroad, but wasn’t sure about the rest of the family’s opinion.

"Is it urgent?"

"Not really, as long as I give an answer at school tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing glanced at his youngest son, "Go wash your face first."

Miao Lishan uneasily looked at the departing figure of May 1st and asked, "What do you think it’s about? Our May has been all smiles, but now he’s not smiling anymore."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Jiao, and the couple exchanged a look, having some rough idea in mind. He then said, "It should be regarding plans after graduation."

"Really?" Miao Lishan suspiciously turned her head to look in the direction of the bathroom, "Isn’t it a bit early to mention it now, still a few months away."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and his gaze fell on the other two sons.

Time surely flies.

His three sons have graduated in the blink of an eye. These two troublemakers no longer need his worries, their skills and military achievements will ensure them a smooth path ahead.

It’s May 1st who is like his mom back then, several units are vying for him; having more options only makes the choice more difficult.

Actually, according to his thoughts, he doesn’t agree with immediately pursuing a postgraduate degree or going to work at a unit. Pursue a postgraduate degree? It’s better to heed his mom’s advice and study abroad.

Going to work at a unit? At just twenty, a young brat in a national unit that focuses on seniority would have a long way to go, totally wasting time.

Though Shi Dashen’s proposal was good, to go work there and later manage a part of his grandfather’s influence. Unfortunately, once his mom finds out, she wouldn’t approve.

This kid has been hesitating to make a decision, but this time it seems it’s time to decide.

He believes he fully understands Zhou Jiao’s thoughts. She’s unwilling to choose a risky path when there’s a legitimate and bright way ahead.

Zhang Guoqing squints his eyes and closes them for a nap.

The path of their sons, the couple truly can’t decide for them. Like Ping’an, like Liu Yi, even during their school years, they have tasks to execute, can they be stopped?

It’s truly children growing independent!

"Grandpa, there’s an opportunity this time, I might be assigned to study in the United States."

As soon as Zhou Xiaozheng came out of the study, he heard his grandson’s words as he sat down, glanced at him without surprise, but knew this decision wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

The school previously had offered public study abroad slots twice to May 1st, yet his grandson humbly declined, now wants to go?

He specifically glanced at Zhou Jiao, indeed his grandson had coaxed her—she’s now looking at the child with gratification.

Zhou Xiaozheng dared not reveal any clues at this moment. His Jiao Jiao was smart; if he said anything incorrectly, she would immediately react.
