Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 180: Excitement

At four in the morning, Zhang Guoqing quietly got out of bed. He picked up his toiletries, gently closed the door, and went out into the yard. Seeing some activity next door, he smiled knowingly, betting his second brother didn’t sleep well all night.

There must have been a light snowfall late at night. A fine white layer covered the ground, easy to slip on if not careful. Zhang Guoqing quickly finished washing up, picked up a broom, and swept the yard to prevent his mother from slipping in the dark early in the morning.

Next door, Zhang Guoqiang heard the sound of sweeping in the yard. He could no longer stay in bed; he hadn’t slept a wink last night, worried that he’d wake up realizing it was all a dream. He was anxious yet excited, tossing and turning, unable to believe he could work in town now, especially in an office? Hearing the sounds, he knew it was Xiao Wu.

Zhang Guoqiang tiptoed hurriedly into the yard and saw Xiao Wu sweeping, so he grabbed a broom himself. Gazing at the snow, he whispered, "You’re up early. Did it snow lightly last night? I had no idea. Good thing dad had us hang quilts outside a few days ago to block the wind."

"Haha... Having an elder at home is like having a treasure. Aren’t our parents the old treasures of our family! I got up early to see if there was anything to prepare. We’ll head straight to find Brother Qingshan later. The sooner we head up the mountain, the sooner we can come back to take care of things."

Seeing the front yard cleaned, Zhang Guoqing took a lantern, and the two headed to the kitchen. Seeing his second brother about to wash up, he went back to the room and brought a pot of wild chicken soup from last night to the kitchen.

Zhang Guoqiang saw Xiao Wu carrying the pot and curiously asked him, "Isn’t this for your wife? Why did you bring it here?"

"Jiao Jiao started cooking it last night, saying it’s for the kids at home. Second brother, look, there’s nothing to eat in the kitchen, everything’s locked up by mom." Zhang Guoqing looked at the lock on the cellar and tugged on the lock handle.
