Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Chapter 354: Passing Through Hai City

The sun was setting in the west, and a group of people boarded the train, escorted by local officials.

They stayed at the military guesthouse that night.

As soon as Zhou Jiao entered the room, she felt an overwhelming fatigue settle in. After a simple wash, she took the child and immediately went to sleep.

She slept until dawn and when she woke up in the morning, she was still a bit groggy. It wasn’t until her son’s voice sounded in her ear that she fully woke up.

"Little rascal, where’s your dad?" Zhou Jiao, holding her son to help him urinate, noticed Zhang Guoqing was not in the room and asked the child with a smile.

After settling the child, half an hour had already passed. Curious, she opened the door to find that all the rooms on the sides and opposite were closed, realizing they had left her here.

After changing clothes, Zhou Jiao carried the child to the lobby. Before she could inquire, the receptionist, smiling, already handed her a note.

After thanking, she saw Zhang Guoqing’s message: he went out with her dad and them; the old lady and her daughter visited old friends. He advised her to stay in the guesthouse and wait for her mom, elder aunt, and Zhao Chuan Guang’s couple to come over in the afternoon.

Zhou Jiao widened her eyes in disbelief. She hadn’t misread it. Everyone indeed came over. Was this a group tour? Does nobody need to work anymore? No wonder her mom and the old lady had whispered several times before they came, only to stop speaking when they saw her. She had pitied her mom so many times. What a waste of expression!

After having breakfast with her son, Zhou Jiao didn’t return to her room. She wandered off to the service club to see if the military district service club’s goods were the same everywhere.

"Jiao Jiao, is that really you? What are you doing here? I heard from the kids that you’d return to Beijing on May 1st. Weren’t you supposed to be in Beijing? How come I didn’t get any news?"

Zhou Jiao’s shoulder was patted, startling her.

Before she could turn around, she heard a burst of chatter. It was, without a doubt, Ye Lin, Xiao Linzi in the big courtyard, just like Zhao Yuanyuan. The big Linzi was her annoying elder cousin sister.

"Take your time. I only arrived last night with dad and them. Why didn’t you go home on May 1st? Are you staying here for a few days?" Zhou Jiao quickly countered, otherwise she would have faced an interrogation from the other party.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin’s smile turned into a mournful look immediately. Shaking her head, she pulled Zhou Jiao into a secluded corner.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao hesitated. She didn’t really want to hear about others’ secrets, especially about Ye’s family’s troubling matters. But the weak voice had already reached her ears.

"My mom told me to come over to accompany my grandparents. My grandma was infuriated by my big aunt and collapsed. All of my uncles and aunts came over. What a mess. I probably can’t go back home. My uncle even asked me to take good care of the old folks. What a mess, what’s my grandfather doing."

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but laugh before she spoke, "Where did you learn those ’what a mess’ words? Be careful, your mom hears, and you’ll get scolded."

Ye Lin laughed heartily, "My big aunt always says ’what a mess’ first thing. I’ve gotten used to it these days. Don’t mention my mom; even my grandma would scold me if she heard. You know, she most dislikes the big house."

Zhou Jiao admired this optimistic girl whose frustration disappeared just like that. If it were her, she wouldn’t want to deal with these elder’s messy affairs.

"How’s your grandma’s health? I’ll visit her in the evening."

Ye Lin quickly waved her hand, "Don’t go, please don’t go. My grandma cares about face. If you go and see my big aunt, she’ll scold me to death. Just pretend you don’t know about it."
