Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Chapter 143: Shock

Zhang Guoqing returned to the side room. Zhou Jiao saw him wrapped tightly by himself and curiously asked, "Is it really cold outside? What’s the temperature now?"

"It’s going to be November in a few days. Think about what November means—it’s only a few days before the big snow comes. The village is organizing a hunt the day after tomorrow, right before the snow. It didn’t feel cold during the day but the night temperature sharply dropped. It’s at least minus two degrees outside now. Luckily, I brought the military coat; otherwise, coming home with your dad tonight would have been freezing. I’ll make some ginger tea in the small pot for when they come back."

Zhang Guoqing washed his hands, put ginger slices and brown sugar in a small pot, covered it, and led her into the inner room. "Did dad tell you about buying a new yard today? You’ll be satisfied after seeing it when the full moon comes." Seeing Zhou Jiao nodding, he didn’t repeat himself; it would be a surprise when they see it later on.

"The job is settled, and I have to start work at the beginning of February. Our household registration can be moved in the next few days. All materials are ready; we just need the village’s stamp. Keep the house deed in the drawer, it’ll be useful for settling down these days." After speaking, he took out a house deed from his military coat’s hidden pocket and handed it to her.

After Zhou Jiao kept it, she mentioned her dad’s talk with her about handling certain properties and going back to Beijing at the end of the year to take the dowry. Then she thought about the Zhou family, and her dad hadn’t mentioned them. This would be a good time to ask him how things went.

"Business is business, follow the procedures. It’s good to put them in for 2 to 3 years, so you won’t see them when you return to Beijing."

Zhang Guoqing winked at Zhou Jiao, "Dad said it himself. He said in both the rural and county, business is business, follow the procedures. Jiao Jiao, I’ve encountered a daughter-loving father-in-law."

"Hehe, I also felt his affection for me. You can’t compare, young man, you need to work hard!" Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows at him.

"No problem, the more pressure, the more motivation I have. I’ll pamper you with all my might, making you feel I’m your closest person in the world. Your dad kept emphasizing that even though you married me, you two are still the closest. He also said I’ve found a treasure; if I were late by a year, he’d definitely drag you back."

Zhou Jiao laughed heartily, not exaggerated at all. Without Zhang Guoqing, this place wouldn’t hold her. What’s more important is without him, she wouldn’t have attachment to this world except for her dad and son.
