Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 355: A Foreign Land

Picking up Zhao Chuan Guang and the other three, the car returned to the guesthouse at five o’clock, just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Mr. Cheng took the family to visit relatives, Zhou Xiaozheng began to take Zhao Chuan Guang to meet old buddies to reminisce, and Lin Lishan pulled along her daughter’s family and Huang Hui Min for a ride to go shopping.

Ye Lin, who came eagerly, was so angry at the sight of no one here that she scolded Jiao Jiao several times.

At this time, "Achoo... achoo," Zhou Jiao sneezed twice in the car. Delighted by the arrival of Huang Hui Min and the others, Zhou Jiao had already forgotten tonight’s appointment.

Zhang Guoqing quickly covered her forehead, seeing the temperature wasn’t high, and frowned, "Are you feeling cold now?"

Driving the car, Lin Lishan anxiously asked without turning back, "Should we head back first? Catching a cold is no joke. Ping’an is still small and might catch it from you."

"I’m fine, just have a tickle in my nose. Godmother, really, I’m okay. Please don’t fetch medicine; every medicine has its poison. I know my body well." Zhou Jiao stopped Huang Hui Min as soon as she saw her digging in her bag for medicine.

"We should head back first. Let Jiao Jiao get under the covers and sleep, and tomorrow Godmother will take you shopping."

Zhou Jiao anxiously sought help from Zhang Guoqing, subtly signaling him.

It tickled Zhang Guoqing, making him chuckle. "Hehe... Mom, you drive on. I’ll keep an eye on Jiao Jiao, and if anything’s wrong, I’ll take her back immediately."

"Mom, Godmother, where are you planning to go? Today there’s a discount at the Hundred. There aren’t too many people. I still haven’t been to the Friendship Store without a ticket." Zhou Jiao hurriedly diverted the topic.

Huang Hui Li grinned and turned away, ignoring the young couple.

"Your Godmother and I have already discussed it; we’re going to the Friendship Store. Last time we couldn’t get in without a ticket. This time I prepared early for this day."

As soon as Lin Lishan said this, everyone burst into laughter. How much resentment must this have caused to linger in her mind even after several months?

Sure enough, the big city had a wider variety of goods compared to other places, and the prices of the same goods varied between cities.

Following Lin Lishan and the others around, Zhou Jiao examined the goods. Sometimes, when she found something she liked, she’d quietly discuss it with Zhang Guoqing. Reminded by him, she realized she could buy film here directly instead of incurring debts and high prices back in Beijing.

She immediately gave him an approving look, making Zhang Guoqing’s lips curl upwards.

Film, a children’s bamboo pushcart, toys, yarn, and leather shoes, Zhou Jiao picked and packed them up, then turned to watch her mother and the godmother, and was startled. These two shopping together seemed to have found a kindred spirit.

After paying, they loaded everything into the car. Lin Lishan and Huang Hui Min were finally satisfied. They agreed to head back to the guesthouse to see if anything was missed so they could come back tomorrow.

Hearing this sent cold sweat down Zhou Jiao’s back. She decided not to join these two shopaholics again tomorrow.

Upon returning, she learned that Zhou Xiaozheng would be in a meeting here for three more days, including the holiday and weekend, making it a full week. Lin Lishan jumped up joyfully and immediately pulled along Huang Hui Min and the other four women to plan to visit nearby cities.

Zhou Jiao speechlessly watched these women who never seem to grow up and silently prayed for their partners that their wallets be thick enough.

Surprisingly, the observing men actually agreed. They even suggested letting the old lady’s guard and Zhang Guoqing drive them to the seaside first and then visit a few neighboring cities.
