Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Chapter 265: Receiving the News and Paying Respects

As soon as it got dark, Zhou Jiao eagerly took out the wooden bucket, waiting for Zhang Guoqing to help fetch water. Just the thought of finally being able to take a good wash made her so happy she wanted to jump.

Zhang Guoqing waited outside, urging her at least a hundred times before he saw her come out with a big smile. If he hadn’t heard her respond, he would have burst in.

Zhou Jiao felt light all over; this month had been exhausting for her. She even found herself repulsive, and complained to him as soon as she opened her mouth, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry? I still have to go to the baths in a couple of days."

Zhang Guoqing ignored her, quickly pulling her to sit down to dry her hair. Did she really think everything would be fine after confinement? If she hadn’t clung to him all night, insisting on taking a bath early, he wouldn’t have reluctantly agreed. He had indeed planned to let her finish the full forty-five days of confinement.

He often heard the elderly say that if you don’t take care when you’re young, all kinds of ailments will come when you’re old. Seeing her break her promise to wash her hair at night, he was genuinely worried she’d have headaches in the future in such cold weather. It was a good thing his mother was busy with guests and didn’t see this. Otherwise, she would definitely have been reprimanded.

Seeing his stern face, Zhou Jiao dared not fuel the fire and forcefully changed the subject, "How many tables were set today? Why do I see that all the eggs Mom prepared are gone?"

Thinking of his mother-in-law’s several large baskets of red eggs, Zhang Guoqing couldn’t keep a straight face anymore, "If you didn’t mention the red eggs Mom brought, I almost forgot. I’ve never seen a family prepare hundreds of eggs for their grandson’s first-month celebration. Luckily they’re cooked; if they were raw, I guess they would have been crushed. Wow, it stunned everyone on the spot. Mom even said it was too much, but with people who came to watch the excitement taking one, kids taking one, plus returning gifts, was there really too much? This is after Mom and Second Sister-in-law packed up the return gifts first. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be enough to give back.
