Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 331: No One Knows How to Cherish Blessings

Yesterday afternoon, with the addition of the late-arriving Zhao Dashan’s family, there were two full tables of guests. That banquet exhausted Zhou Jiao. After seeing Mr. Zhang and the others off, the couple didn’t even have time to give gifts before they fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Guoqing and his wife got up early to prepare things. With no outsiders and Aunt Fen taking care of the household duties, the house finally returned to peace, just like before.

At this moment, Zhou Jiao fed the baby and finally started packing their belongings.

As soon as Aunt Fen came in, she saw the couple discussing gifts for others. She quickly stopped them, urging them to have breakfast first. What’s the hurry with the gifts, and what if they don’t give them? She knew Zhang Guoqing had to report to his workplace today. That was the main thing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing pulled up Zhou Jiao. On the kang, Ping’an was babbling to himself, occasionally blowing bubbles, as he looked at the toy hanging above him.

He laughed heartily, "Jiao Jiao, do you think our son will become a chatterbox?"

"He does seem to love talking, just like you," Zhou Jiao teased.

The couple bantered with each other, and finished breakfast after a while.

After the meal, Zhang Guoqing looked at the pile of things on the floor and joked, "Do you think we can not give these gifts this time? Or let them come over and choose what they want?"

Aunt Fen, who was just coming in to gather the dishes, said, "You’re not giving all of it away, are you? You’re really going to waste things. I’ll help you decide. You already sent them plenty of stuff before. This time, besides what your parents need, you decide for yourselves. Just give a little to others."

Pausing for a moment, Zhou Jiao said, "You go report first; I’ll take care of this." She wasn’t bothered by Aunt Fen involving herself in family affairs, but this time she felt the other party seemed to make decisions on her own.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Jiao, smiling playfully, and said, "Put away everything except the pastries for gifting. We’ll hand them out when I get off work. Don’t you dare walk over there yourself; the sidecar tricycle is much faster."

Zhou Jiao helped him with his coat, urging him to leave. Otherwise, given his reluctance, he might not even make it to report today.

After sending Zhang Guoqing off, Zhou Jiao began talking about the New Year’s gifts her mother-in-law helped collect for her. Seeing Aunt Fen didn’t respond, she directly asked who sent gifts when they weren’t home. When the names were quickly listed, Zhou Jiao went with her to the next room to look at the gifts, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.
