Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 128: Distorting Right and Wrong

Zhou Xiaozheng took the gifts and left with Zhang Guoqing, went to the new courtyard nearby to greet Mr. Zhang and Zhang Dayou, exchanged a few words, and took their leave.

As they entered the Zhou Family Village from the bridgehead, he occasionally asked questions along the way and roughly understood the situation in the village. The Zhou Family was facing difficulties, and many villagers curiously eyed them from the fields in the distance. The news of his return seemed to have spread. If the team leader hadn’t consented, they would have surrounded them already.

The new production team leader, Zhou Xiaobin, was a rural man in his thirties. He had been following Zhou Zhengxiao since childhood, and their relationship was very close. When Zhou Jiao was in Zhou Family Village, he and his wife cared for her quite a bit.

He instructed the others and ran towards them, laughing loudly, "Second brother, you finally returned. I said it, I said how could you become a martyr. With your skills and brains, someone letting you suffer must be really formidable. Bro,

have you seen your grandson yet? I haven’t even seen him yet. You must be here to see your old man, right? You better have a good talk. If it weren’t for your son-in-law protecting Jiao Jiao since childhood, this kid would have been chewed to the bone.

I couldn’t even help. Jiao Jiao keeps things to herself and doesn’t tell us. Second brother, it all happened right under my nose, and I didn’t protect your daughter. Second brother, just give me a beating." His voice grew softer, guilt-ridden, as he looked at him with red eyes.

Zhou Xiaozheng gave him a playful punch and looked at him with amusement, "Alright, don’t act like a woman. Have a drink with me when you have time, and tell me about the village situation. I’ll take my son-in-law back to have a look first. You go ahead and get busy, everyone’s watching."

"Alright, then you go on back, I won’t accompany you. If your old man sees me... I’ll find you after work. Xiao Wu, take good care of your father-in-law, and tell your dad I’ll be at your house for a drink tonight, prepare a few extra dishes."

"Okay, uncle, you and aunty should come over too; Jiao Jiao was just talking about you guys a few days ago."

As they walked into the Old Zhou Family Courtyard, in the Zhou Family Village, the Zhou Family Courtyard was very noticeable. Besides the toppled landlord’s residence, only the Zhou Family’s blue-brick houses stood prominently on the eastern side of the village.

The large courtyard was relatively clean. The Zhou Family did not raise pigs, as they disliked the smell, and a few chickens were kept in the back yard. No one was in the courtyard, so Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t call out; he went straight to the main room.

Old Sir Zhou probably hadn’t heard that Zhou Xiaozheng returned; he was alone on the kang flipping through a book. Hearing the noise, he lifted his head in shock and immediately sat up, dropping the book on the floor, stammering, "You, you, you’re not dead, you’re really not dead, didn’t they say you died?"

Zhang Guoqing raised an eyebrow, glanced at the old man, then at his father-in-law. Their expressions were odd, extremely odd, especially the old man, who should have been tearfully overjoyed, calling out excitedly, joyfully that his son had returned alive.
