Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Chapter 370: After Minor Heat (Part 2)

After filling up a cart, two large bamboo baskets were hung at the back. The village woman, Zhou Jiao, boldly and confidently moved from village to village, collecting things.

Reaching the end of her journey, she looked at the provincial road ahead.

Zhou Jiao gestured to her son whether to go forward or backward, and seeing his big eyes blinking at her, she pointed forward—play, and backward—daddy.

The child immediately pointed backward.

This made Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, kissing him several times.

The next day, Zhang Guoqing went to work, and Zhou Jiao once again drove the sidecar motorcycle out of the county.

Seeing the intersection ahead, she pulled over and communicated with her son in her arms.

She pointed in the direction of the provincial city, softly saying "play, eat," while gesturing, making the child repeatedly shake his head.

Sigh...it wasn’t just the child; she also lost interest in heading that way again and again.

Thinking for a moment, Zhou Jiao looked at the direction to the left, checked her watch—let’s go for it!

She mentioned water, gesturing waves and bathing, and sure enough, her little genius son giggled and pointed to the left, saying "water, go."

To teach her son the difference between water and the sea, Zhou Jiao stopped frequently to ask for directions, taking shortcuts, and the bumpy road lulled her child to sleep.

At eleven in the morning, she uncovered a small blanket and couldn’t help but laugh. Watching the child rub his eyes, she quickly took out a warm towel to clean his little face and handed him the bottle.

After finishing a bottle of milk, the mother and son finally arrived at Old Wang’s house, which sold crabs, before noon.

Old Wang came out and looked behind Zhou Jiao, slightly startled.

Zhou Jiao made an excuse—she had relatives in the next village and would leave after some time with them.

After a chat, Zhou Jiao still asked him to prepare the crabs; she really couldn’t take any more seafood.

How does it feel to face the sea in summer? Zhou Jiao didn’t know, but at this moment, her son’s giggles lifted her spirits.

A big sheet of oily paper was laid on the beach, and the mother and son built and demolished sandcastles, playing so joyfully that they attracted the fisher kids to join in the fun.

The candies that Zhou Jiao gifted made the kids so happy they pulled out various conch shells and started blowing like horns.

Ping’an’s attention was soon captured by the seagulls’ calls and the little crabs scuttling on the beach. He pulled Zhou Jiao, pointing ahead, wanting to go.

Zhou Jiao supported him with her hands, watching him eagerly scoot forward step by step, and then furiously fling sand at the crabs that escaped.

She smiled gently. How much she wanted to tell him: My child, there will be more things in life you can’t have just by wishing. Just like now, you don’t have the strength to run fast, so you can’t have it. No matter how much you vent your anger, what’s gone is gone. So, my child, grow up slowly; with capability, you can ensure a lifetime of peace.

Zhou Jiao’s thoughts were interrupted by her son’s actions. She watched his face filled with surprise as he looked at his little hand, again trying to grab sand, only for it to slip away again.
