Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 235: Banquet

A group of people stepped out through the gate and got into the cars. Lin Lishan drove a car, taking the women along, and followed the car in front to head towards Master Fatty’s place.

In the car, Mother Zhang sat holding the child in the front passenger seat, listening to their chatter. Her thoughts were all over the place. She recalled the pile of gifts in the living room like a small mountain and thought about the grand gifts the Cheng family brought over at noon. She quietly pondered what return gifts to prepare. She wondered how the preparations that she instructed the eldest couple to make before she left were coming along.

Zhou Xiaozheng was in the last car with Zhang Guoqing driving, and Zhao Chuan Guang, and Cheng Sijin sitting next to him. The three chatted while waiting to pass the intersection. Zhou Xiaozheng instructed Zhang Guoqing to pick up Zhao Dashan at the Zhao family’s place.

The car stopped at the Zhao residence, and Zhang Guoqing ran into the yard to find Zhao Dashan in the living room. "Uncle, where’s Aunt Cheng?"

"She’s not off work yet. Do you need her for something? She’ll be back soon."

Zhang Guoqing picked up his coat and pulled him out. "My dad and Uncle Guang are waiting for you in the car outside. Let’s not wait for Aunt Cheng; let’s go eat first."

Zhao Dashan quickly closed the yard gate, and the two got in the car.

After greeting, Zhao Dashan curiously asked Zhao Chuan Guang, "Weren’t you insisting on going back this morning? When did you come to the county? Why didn’t you call me?"

Zhao Chuan Guang said smugly, "As soon as I heard you say Brother Zheng and Brother Cheng were going to the ancestral hall today, I guessed they’d soon return to Beijing. So I hurried back and brought my wife along. If Brother Zheng came back without seeing her, believe me, my wife would nag endlessly. How about that? Aren’t brothers clever?"

Zhao Dashan looked at him disdainfully, "You’re really afraid of your wife."

"I’m a good man. Good men are afraid of their wives. I don’t believe you’re not afraid of Red Pepper. Hey, isn’t Red Pepper coming?"

"She’s at work. Women have so much to do, they’re never off work on time."

Zhang Guoqing navigated around the potholes on the road and quickly drove towards the east suburb of the county. It was the child’s first outing, so he was indeed worried, especially as Zhou Jiao hadn’t eaten at home. He had to make sure Master Fatty looked after her postpartum meal, and he was increasingly eager.
