Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Chapter 327: Farewell to Beijing

Three days before leaving, Zhou Jiao brought Zhang Guoqing with her during the day to visit their elderly relatives, carrying pastries, xuan paper, and other local specialties, as a way of bidding farewell. She was even worried that someone might give her a hard time in the future, saying they stayed in a hotel they shouldn’t have. As a precaution, she carefully prepared several stacks of xuan paper, some local specialties, and a few crafts that women usually like.

Zhou Jiao personally handed them to the secretary of the elderly folks, asking them to pass the gifts on. She honestly explained the care she received during this trip, worryingly saying that she didn’t handle things well during her first encounter. The secretary laughed heartily and asked if she wanted to meet the elderly.

Zhou Jiao repeatedly said that she couldn’t bother him now, as he was busy with his affairs. She planned to mature further before meeting with them. She wasn’t worried that this uncle wouldn’t help smooth things over in front of the President—after all, he was her father’s good friend.

Early the next morning, the couple went to the photo studio to pick up their pictures, bought some film and developing supplies.

Once home, Zhou Jiao stayed in and made dumplings with Aunt Chen. Once she was done, Zhang Guoqing started delivering them to Zhou Xiaozheng’s comrades’ homes.

During this time in Beijing, these uncles frequently sent food over, so before leaving, she needed to reciprocate properly. Especially Uncle Wang Xi Bei, although he wasn’t much of a talker, his gaze at her was like looking at his own child, just like Zhao Chuan Guang. Seeing them, he alternately cried and laughed.

She always remembered the day they first met when he hugged her father and cried until his voice was hoarse. Sometimes it’s the people who aren’t related by blood that are the true family. She remembered deeply those uncles who helped and cared during their father-daughter duo’s low times.

On the last day, Zhou Xiaozheng specially took a day off, leaving the child to Old Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Chen, and took his wife, daughter, and son-in-law early to pay their respects at the mountain.

After descending, the family went to have a meal at Old Mo’s. After lunch, they sent Lin Lishan and Zhang Guoqing back to look after the kids, while Zhou Xiaozheng took his daughter to a mudbrick house in the nearby suburbs.

The village, with its over a hundred households, all bore the surname Zhou. Walking into the village, villagers greeted them enthusiastically everywhere. Because Zhou Xiaozheng’s comrade, after retiring, became the captain, this mudbrick house was purchased by Zhou Xiaozheng.

Hearing her father say that even Lin Lishan wasn’t aware of this house, Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and laughed. Fortunately, her dad didn’t have a mistress, otherwise, perhaps her mom wouldn’t know a thing.
