Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 128: Zhou Xiaozheng’s Dominance

After Zhang Guoqing left, Zhou Xiaozheng walked to the front of the bed. Seeing his grandson lying there quietly, he leaned over to take a closer look and gently picked up Ping’an. He examined Ping’an’s little clothes, checked the thickness of the small quilt, wrapped him in his military coat, and observed his grandson’s complexion closely. Only when he was sure Ping’an was comfortable did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"His nickname is Ping’an, right? Hmm, that’s a good name. When I left back then, Jiao Jiao was just this big, even cuter than Little Ping’an. She pursed her tiny lips, small and delicate, didn’t cry or make a fuss, unlike the kids in the military family compound who cried loudly late at night, making it hard for their parents to rest. Living close to that was really annoying.

Before I left, holding her, I thought I could return before she started speaking, hoping to hear her call me ’Dad.’ Who would have thought it would be a whole 17 years, a full 17 years, without being by her side, watching her learn to talk, to walk, not even taking her to school for a day, never carrying her, nor personally helping her choose a partner. So much was missed. Shanshan, we let our daughter down, but luckily our Jiao Jiao stumbled and grew up well.

Jiao Jiao, Dad let you down, the one I’m most sorry for is you. When you were born, Dad was excited, wanting to give you the best in the world, for you to be as carefree and happy as a little princess, but in the end, you still suffered greatly."

"No suffering, just seeing you safe and sound, I’m grateful. I always thought even if you came back missing an arm or leg, it would be fine as long as you returned. That way, I’d have a complete family.

Now I finally see you back, whole and intact. I’m filled with gratitude. Dad, don’t feel guilty. Things beyond your control, situations that couldn’t be helped, you didn’t purposely abandon me. I’ve always remembered that you’re a soldier, and I’ve always been proud of you.

But I still want to tell you, Dad, it’s so good to see you, I finally have a dad." Zhou Jiao couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart, a wide smile on her face.
