Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 244: Farewell Conversation 1

Zhou Jiao calmed her mind and strolled back to the living room.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang finally started a conversation with Zhang Guoqing, and the father and son began to whisper to each other.

She looked over at Zhou Xiaozheng. When she saw her father signaling her with his eyes, her eyes instantly brightened. She finally waited until her father-in-law left her father, leaving Zhang Guoqing and his father to chat.

She quickly stepped forward, pulling her father along, and the two of them happily walked towards the bedroom.

"I’m leaving this afternoon. While no one’s around, let me tell you a few things. When you go to the provincial city in the future, no matter who mentions your grandmother, always push it to Dad, safety first. On this return trip, apart from the usual letters, for important message delivery, Dad will teach you a method. Don’t tell anyone."

After speaking, Zhou Xiaozheng took out a book and handed it to her, pointing to the numbers on the pages, and explained the method of sending an urgent telegram to him when faced with an emergency that others shouldn’t know about. For things that aren’t suitable for outsiders, he explained how to hide words within letters. Seeing her nod knowingly, he told her to keep the book safe. These standard editions could be bought in Beijing when he returned.

Zhou Xiaozheng went on to advise her on how to interact with Zhao Chuan Guang and his wife. When he heard that Zhou Jiao planned to make two sets of clothes and buy two jade pendants as gifts, he was both pleased and heartbroken. Pleased that the child had grown up and handled things flawlessly. He was also heartbroken for the child, as making two sets of clothes by hand would tire her out. He quickly stopped her, suggesting that she just pick a pattern and give it to the tailor, offering more money would suffice.

Zhou Jiao watched her father, full of jealousy, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had finished her father’s coat last night. Seeing him repeatedly saying it was too tiring, she decided to tell him before he left.

Zhou Xiaozheng stood up, squatting in the corner, and continued sorting out the secret compartment from last night. After a while, he stood up to find Zhou Jiao at the doorway, feeling secretly proud of how clever his Jiao Jiao was.

He gestured her over, taught her once, and whispered, "Don’t tell even Xiao Wu about this. Dad has placed two thousand yuan inside for your emergency use. In the future, put your private money here, nobody can open it."

Zhou Jiao frowned and muttered, "Why are you giving me so much? I have money. You spend a lot when away, you shouldn’t run out of cash. Who knows when Gu Ruyi will repay the family’s savings."

Zhou Xiaozheng stood up, pulled her back to sit at the table, and exhorted her, "Don’t worry about spending it. Besides what she owes, Dad has other reserves. In the future, no matter what you think in your mind, don’t make a mistake in addressing her. ’Grandmother’ is just a code name. Don’t accidentally blurt out Gu Ruyi." Watching his precious baby cover her mouth and laugh while blinking, he rubbed her head and laughed along with her.

"Dad, Grandpa probably knows. He was a bit off last night."

Zhou Xiaozheng thought about his father-in-law’s character and nodded, "Don’t get involved in the Lin Family’s affairs. More troubles will arise in the future. Your eldest uncle inherited your grandmother’s shrewdness and your grandfather’s straightforward temper. Would such a person be manipulated by your grandmother?

Your second uncle is a bit cowardly, afraid of his wife, and has a soft heart. Your second aunt has her eyes on high things but is incapable of achieving them, extremely vain, and easily swayed. Your grandmother was strongly opposed to this marriage initially, but after two years of marriage, the relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law turned harmonious like between a biological mother and daughter.
