Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 334: Gaining Wisdom Through Experience

"Now I believe you guys are really doing well in Beijing! Our Old Zhang’s family really has smoke rising from our ancestors’ graves—this would have called for a huge feast in the past. Oh, dear, let’s go home first and offer incense, let the clan leader and captain uncle be pleased." Mr. Zhang said excitedly and incoherently, immediately pulling Mother Zhang to go outside.

Zhang Guoqing quickly grabbed him, "Dad, don’t get too excited! Sit down first. There are photos too, take a look at the people in the New Year paintings, we have them all. It’s nothing special."

With a "pa," Mr. Zhang slapped his eldest son’s shoulder hard, laughing, "Silly boy! What could be more special than this? Your father-in-law is practically flying. Ah, why isn’t he smiling when he’s with them? Look at him with such a stern face. I’ll have to give him a good pounding later!"

His words made everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, one of the photos showed Zhou Xiaozheng with a stern face, looking very serious.

"It seems like you all really are better off in Beijing, it’s better for Ping’an to stay in the big city in the future. Look how happy he is in this photo. Where is this place? Why does it look so beautiful inside?" Mother Zhang exclaimed repeatedly.

Zhang Guoqing sat both of them down again on the kang, introducing each photo one by one. Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang were left agape, with many things they couldn’t quite process at once.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing was more determined to take his parents on a trip soon. Far places are currently not feasible, but nearby cities can still be visited.

Zhou Jiao saw her son listening to everyone talking, happily babbling along. She turned to walk outside, taking advantage of Mother Zhang being at home to hand over a few things to her.

The trip to S City, Huaihai Old came across some second-hand fur coats, at a cheap price. She bought five, which cost her quite a bit of money. To keep a low profile and not show off, she turned them all into fur-inside jackets. Sadly, her parents despised anything worn by others, but the two for her in-laws should be fine.

Mother Zhang saw Zhou Jiao carrying a pile of stuff, practically buried in it, slowly moving inside. She hurriedly stepped up to take some of it. Upon seeing that they were all clothes and sweaters, she shouted angrily, "You two spendthrifts. Can your father and I even wear these? How much did these sweaters cost? There’s a pile of yarn at home, why buy sweaters? It’s over, it’s over, a rat finally got the chance to get into the rice jar. Did you buy any for your parents? You’re foolish, what are you giving us this mound for? We deal with dirt and mud all day, how can we wear such nice clothes?"

Zhou Jiao expected her to say this and laughed, "It’s very cheap. If you don’t believe me, ask brother. Some are bought by my mom for you. We always remember your words, didn’t spend much money."

Mother Zhang glared at her, seeing she was still wearing old clothes, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Don’t buy them in the future. The clothes you mailed before the new year, your mother wasn’t willing to wear them, they’re still in the box. A couple of days ago, she went to your uncle’s house for the New Year, she wouldn’t wear them and was only persuaded by the second child to change. If she hadn’t come to the county today, she probably wouldn’t have worn them again." Mr. Zhang said with a chuckle.
