Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Chapter 215

Along the way, Old Mrs. Cheng tightly held Zhou Xiaozheng’s hand. The two of them stared blankly at the box in his arms, and everyone was silent, not knowing what words to use to comfort them.

When they reached the small courtyard in the county town, the car had just stopped, and they saw Zhao Dashan and Second Zhang, Zhang Guoqiang, waiting at the door. The courtyard was brightly lit.

Zhao Dashan had heard from a neighbor that four military vehicles came looking for Zhang Guoqing, stretching from the small courtyard to the main street. When he came to check, he found that everyone had rushed out. It was not until he heard a few words from Zhang Guoqiang that he realized something had happened, and he was considering whether to go to Zhou Family Village.

Seeing Zhou Xiaozheng get out of the car, he carefully examined Zhou Xiaozheng’s expression and noticed no abnormalities. He quickly looked at Zhang Guoqing, and only felt at ease when he saw him subtly shake his head.

"Brother Zheng, quickly go inside. The house is ready with food. Let the old folks eat first to warm up."

Zhou Xiaozheng helped Old Mrs. Cheng, "This is my aunt, uncle, and cousin. We’ll talk more after we go in."

Mr. Lin saw Zhao Dashan and said to Mr. Cheng: "He’s a retired soldier from our old unit, currently at the militia department. It’s always been him and the youngest son of the Zuo Family taking care of Xiao Wu and Jiao Jiao. I only realized it was an old acquaintance when I heard about Xiaozheng’s return this time."

Mr. Cheng smiled and nodded at Zhao Dashan, "Let’s all go inside and talk."

Everyone entered the living room. Zhang Guoqing saw a large round table already set up. His eldest sister, Zhang Meili, was urgently signaling with glances and said with a smile, "Sis, start serving the dishes." She beckoned everyone to the table.

Returning to the kitchen, he saw that Xiao Zhou and the others were already eating, "Why aren’t you coming over? There are seats reserved in the living room."

Xiao Zhou and the others quickly replied, "We’re already eating, so we weren’t planning to go over. You accompany the elders. We have your second brother here. You go ahead and do your thing."

Zhang Guoqing, seeing this, didn’t insist further, "Alright then, Second Brother, you take care of things. The wine is in the warehouse nearby. If there’s not enough food, ask Big Sister. I’ll go see if there’s anything else that needs help on the other side."

The dishes started coming onto the table in the living room one after another. By the time Zhang Guoqing came in holding two jars of wine, everyone was seated and waiting for him.

Mr. Cheng smiled and said, "Today, our little grand-son-in-law has been very busy. Come over and get to know everyone. I am your grandaunt’s husband, this is your grandaunt, and beside your dad is my eldest son, Cheng Sijin. You should call him Big Cousin. We also have Second Cousin Cheng Siyu and Little Aunt Cheng Ruzhu."

Zhang Guoqing was gratified upon hearing the names, respecting the couple. After greeting them, he brought a wine jar to Mr. Cheng, smiling as he said, "Grandaunt’s husband, let me pour you a drink. This is to show my respect; you must enjoy it well. For Grandaunt, I have fruit wine; fortunately, my mom can accompany Grandaunt. Tonight’s reunion of Grandaunt and my dad is a joyous event, so let’s all be happy."

Mr. Cheng chuckled cheerfully, "Good, well said. Let’s all be happy from now on."

Zhang Guoqing poured everyone their drinks and sat quietly, listening to their chit-chat, occasionally standing up to refill their drinks.

Old Mrs. Cheng was enchanted as she listened to Lin Lishan talking in detail about Zhou Jiao. Zhou Xiaozheng ladled soup into a small bowl for her, "Aunt, eat a bit more. You can see Jiao Jiao tomorrow morning."
