Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 227

Mother Zhang watched Zhou Xiaozheng come in cheerfully and shook her head secretly. Fortunately, Zhou Jiao was a well-behaved and sensible child. If she wasn’t, with a father doting on her like that, she would really worry about the child changing. She had never seen anyone pamper their daughter to this extent.

Mr. Cheng looked at him coming in with a smile all over his face and teased, "Seeing your daughter puts your mind at ease? I think you’re eager to shrink Jiao Jiao into a little girl, put her in your pocket, and take her away."

Zhou Xiaozheng said cheerfully, "My Jiao Jiao has a good nature, but she tends to overthink and not speak up when things happen. Knowing she’s worrying about me, I must take time to talk to her, lest she overthinks." After speaking, he looked at Mr. Zhang but said nothing, just watched him.

Mr. Zhang gave him a sideways look in annoyance and complained, "You just want to take your daughter to the county for a few days, right? Go ahead, go ahead. Looking at me like this, will you not even let me drink?"

"Come on, Brother Zhang, your in-law is speechless. I’ll drink a toast to you. We’ve known each other since we were kids, and I know you and Sister-in-law are sincere people. I won’t say anything false, but I estimate I’ll be leaving in a few days. Today, I have a good friend from the provincial city waiting for me in the county courtyard. I want to entrust the child to him and take her around the county for a few days, so she won’t be bullied by others. I really am uneasy leaving; please take good care of Jiao Jiao afterward. She’s still a child; although she seems sensible, she’s young, so please give her some reminders."

Mr. Zhang finished his drink and gave him a smiling glare, "Don’t worry. The child is a good kid; nothing will happen. Once you’re gone, you can take your precious daughter to the county, okay?"

Since Cheng Sijin knew Zhou Xiaozheng, it was the first time he saw the Cold-faced King express such love for his daughter, and he lowered his head, chuckling. This fellow speaks kindly, saying he’s afraid she’ll be bullied, but looking at the firm eyes and confident speech of their Jiao Jiao, you know she’s not easy to mess with. He’s really scheming to take his daughter to the county to enjoy life and put words together casually.

Lin Lishan smiled apologetically at Mother Zhang, "Big sister, sorry, this time we’re going back without any holidays until the New Year. We just want to take them to stay there for a few days first, see what they still need so we can prepare for them. After the New Year, Xiao Wu can go to work without rushing. Don’t take it to heart."

Mother Zhang lightly patted her hand and sighed, "They all say ’parents’ hearts are pitiable throughout the world’, I understand you two as a couple. No need to apologize. Once you get everything settled, you can work at ease. This child is sensible and well-behaved, I truly like her. While she’s here in the old home, I certainly won’t let her suffer any grievances. Once the child is older, I’ll have Xiao Wu take the two of them to Beijing to see you."

Old Mrs. Cheng looked at them with a beaming smile and said softly, "That’s fine; it’s a good thing your in-laws can sit together, laugh, and understand each other. It’s a blessing for our Jiao Jiao. Mother of Xiao Wu, you have future blessings coming. Just look at those three sons, all capable and filial, and the older two daughters-in-law who look good and are friendly and considerate. With a big family of grandchildren around you, both of you are blessed greatly."

Mother Zhang nodded happily, and said cheerfully, "Hearing your words has made me glad. Thinking of the hardships suffered when young, now I’ve laughed even in my dreams."
