Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 20: Signs Begin to Emerge (Part 1)

Zhang Guoqing rubbed his forehead and turned to enter the bedroom, not knowing if Jiao Jiao had woken up. He hadn’t properly spent time with his son, busy for half a day. Quietly going in, he found that neither of them had slept.

"Oh~ my little wife, your husband is so pitiful~ holding a steamed bun and not a drop of oil in the dish... tears keep flowing down..."

Zhou Jiao chuckled, looking at the child’s eyes in her arms, she said, "Baby, look at your dad, isn’t he pitiful? Shouldn’t our baby comfort daddy?"

Zhang Guoqing quickly came to the bed, sat down, and hugged Jiao Jiao, "Baby, I am daddy. Baby, daddy finally sees you awake, why do you sleep so much, huh? Are you full? Daddy is so pitiful, not even as happy as the baby with milk to drink."

Zhou Jiao leaned against him with their son in her arms, "You’ve been to quite a few places today, haven’t you? Move this small table over here, I’ll put things down. I had chicken soup noodles for lunch, nobody will smell it. This time you have honey-glazed chicken leg fast food, I don’t even remember when I bought it, I got bored this morning and reorganized the space, with roast chicken, eat more."

Zhang Guoqing stood up, returned to the small living room, and closed the door, moved the small table over, "Put the son aside, don’t hold him. Holding in confinement will cause arm pain and develop bad habits, making it tiring to carry yourself later."

Seeing her conjure up a cup of soup with the fast food box, he drooled, yesterday after traveling through time, his taste was almost gone from fear.

Zhou Jiao saw him swallowing his hunger and felt heartbroken that this fool wouldn’t buy something to eat in the city, even though he had tickets and money, that corn porridge was painful to swallow just remembering it.

"Are you dumb? You should’ve eaten your fill in the city before coming back. Next time, make sure you eat before returning, otherwise, you’ll mess up your stomach with gastritis while you’re young."

Finally able to eat a few mouthfuls, Zhang Guoqing quickly drank the soup, "In the morning at my second sister’s, I had 2 buns, then delayed a bit at the Zhou Family. When I got home, I was starving, but all there was was cornmeal buns and corn porridge, everything was corn. So I had to bear with it, eating a bun and drinking a bowl of corn porridge, dad still handed me another bun and I almost cried. The pickles were so salty I’d want to strangle whoever sells salt; it was deadly salty but I ate it all."

Zhou Jiao pointed to herself, "As for me, I was silly too; I just wouldn’t eat, and only when I couldn’t stand it anymore did I force myself to swallow, afraid to tell you. The family just thinks I have a small appetite. Eating with grandma at the Zhou Family, the older folks only eat soft things."

Zhang Guoqing quickly finished his meal, asking Zhou Jiao to gather everything into the space, opened the door to the small living room to let the smell dissipate, "No wonder you’ve grown so thin, good thing you returned quickly, otherwise you’d be unable to recover from such bodily losses.
