Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Chapter 224: Tracing Clues

Zhou Xiaozheng heard bursts of laughter coming from the inner room while he was outside. Beside him, Zhang Guoqing, with his keen ears, caught some bits of conversation. Seeing his father-in-law looking puzzled, he secretly chuckled.

The two walked into the inner room, and Zhou Xiaozheng watched them laughing merrily. He joyfully said, "Auntie, it seems you and Jiao Jiao hit it off. How is it? Isn’t our Jiao Jiao smart and pretty? I knew you would like this child. I’m not bragging, but no one can compare to our Jiao Jiao."

Old Mrs. Cheng nodded with a smile, "Indeed, she’s a good child. Our Jiao Jiao is blessed, and with the character of Old Zhang’s family, this marriage is good; the in-laws are good, and the partner is good. Xiao Wu seems really nice to me. Growing up together, your two must support each other in the future."

Zhang Guoqing nodded solemnly, "Auntie Grandma, rest assured, I will take good care of Jiao Jiao and the child. You can watch over us. If, one day, I’m not doing well, give me a good beating."

Old Mrs. Cheng nodded contentedly, "Auntie Grandma believes in you. It’s clear that you’re more mature than your peers and know what you want. Your parents have raised you well, and you and your wife should be filial to them. Especially Jiao Jiao, Xiao Wu’s parents have entrusted their outstanding son to you, so you must accompany Xiao Wu and never forget the kindness of your parents.

Your parents are busy with work and can’t take care of everything in life. If you encounter difficulties, don’t be afraid. In the future, if there’s something wrong, find Auntie Grandma. If Auntie Grandma can’t help, there’s still your Uncle Grandma, and if not, our family has others to support you. As long as you behave righteously, our Gu Family will never be forced into a corner again."

Zhou Jiao nodded repeatedly, thinking of the Gu Family, her grandparents, and she became a bit lost in thought. She also needed to have a back-up plan for everything. Life is too long, and accidents are too many. She must not let her child, future brothers, repeat the backtrack of the Zhou and Gu Families.

Mother Zhang listened to Old Mrs. Cheng’s words and felt deeply moved, feeling that this is what a senior should say.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw the atmosphere become somewhat heavy and guessed that his daughter was worried again about the future. Quickly, he shoved the box he was holding into Zhou Jiao’s hands. Seeing her look up at him in surprise, he lightly tapped her forehead playfully and chided, "What are you thinking about? Young ones should just eat and drink well, leave everything to your father. This is a keepsake left by your grandparents, keep it safe for Daddy. Your mother and I aren’t that meticulous, so you better store it well."

Zhou Jiao frowned, glanced at her mother a few times, saw she didn’t care, and was smiling at her, then she breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly remembering the family-jade pendant and seal transmission in those keepsakes, she wanted to speak but swallowed her words, intending to talk to her father later when no one else was around. She had many questions she hadn’t discussed with her father, but there was no rush.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw her put away the box and thought of his daughter’s earlier hesitation. He had a rough idea of what she wanted to say and smiled secretly. What his daughter thought of, how could he not think of it? This was also why he gave it directly to her. There were many things inconvenient to talk about with others, and they had to discuss them father and daughter when they had time.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw it was almost time for dinner and said to Mother Zhang, "Second Sister-in-law, it’s time to eat at home. Let’s all go out. After eating, you can come back and chat with Jiao Jiao."
