Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Chapter 378: Don’t Wander Around Aimlessly

The long-awaited autumn rain finally arrived, yet a light drizzle could not extinguish people’s passion.

Working in the rain, the furnace continued to blaze fiercely.

After this drizzling rain, everyone felt it was divine intervention, and they finally produced some finished goods.

Nowadays, people no longer aspire for first place but just strive to do their best.

It’s a pity... quite regrettable...

After the rain cleared, the earthen furnace went on strike. Seeing people’s disappointed, tearful faces, Zhou Jiao couldn’t express how she felt.

Master Cui began circling the furnace for half a day, eventually concluding that the furnace needed repairs.

With the furnace needing repairs, Master Cui led the team to guard the furnace day and night, continuously busy. Meanwhile, most people’s work schedules started to adjust.

Suddenly, life returned to normal, working during the day, resting at night.

After ten days to half a month, the furnace once again blazed with intense flames. After a few days, it went on strike again. Repairs were initiated... and then work resumed.

"Once ignited, then waning, thrice exhausted."

With the repeated repairs, people gradually started losing enthusiasm.

One weekend, Zhao Chuan Guang and his wife came to the county town again.

Zhou Jiao heard the sound of the car and ran out to the door, joyfully shouting, "Godfather, godmother, why are you here? I thought I’d see you by next weekend at the earliest."

Huang Hui Min chided with a smile, "You ungrateful girl, don’t even come home to visit your godmother. Since you didn’t come, I had to come see you, because you’re my daughter."

"Wife, let’s go inside first. Jiao Jiao, where are Xiao Wu and the kids?" Saying this, Zhao Chuan Guang picked up a pile of bags and walked inside.

Zhou Jiao, holding Huang Lijuan’s arm, laughed, "Brother took Ping’an to the cafeteria to fetch food, they’ll be back soon. Haven’t you eaten yet? Perfect timing to eat together."

"No, we’ve eaten before coming. Is work tiring now? How’s the street food? Your dad worries you might not be honest in your letters, he called a few days ago. He hopes you return home early if there’s nothing to do."

Entering the living room, Zhou Jiao poured two cups of tea and handed them to them, smiling, "I’m really not working, take a look at my hands."

Zhao Chuan Guang and his wife glanced at her open palms and smiled.

Zhao Chuan Guang grinned, "I also told him over the phone. Your dad is still not assured, I think you should send some photos over, let him take a look. Is the cafeteria still serving corn cakes and sweet potato porridge?"

"Sometimes there’s rice, the food’s okay. Godfather, godmother, you didn’t bring more pastries again, did you? Save them for my elder and younger brother, they’re growing, don’t hold back from them."

Huang Hui Min glanced at her, "Don’t worry. Your two brothers are not lacking food. Oh, inside there are some pastries they gathered for you."

"Oh, godmother, remember to tell them I’m really touched. Let them eat for themselves, don’t bring them over later. Look at my complexion; isn’t it great? Honestly, I’m doing well here. Really! I’m not lying to you. See, besides you two, my dad, mom, auntie, and younger aunt haven’t stopped sending parcels to me."

Zhao Chuan Guang looked at her with a beaming smile. He certainly knew the child doesn’t lack anything now. But not seeing them for some time made him and his wife concerned.

After a while, Zhang Guoqing returned home carrying his son and a bamboo basket.

Seeing Zhao Chuan Guang and his wife made him delighted.

"Godfather, godmother, how long have you been here? Had I known, I would’ve come back earlier."

Zhao Chuan Guang took the child, saying with a smile, "Just arrived, haven’t even warmed the chairs. Your father-in-law insisted I come to investigate the truth, worried you might be deceiving him in letters."

"Has the child eaten? You two better eat quickly; it won’t be good if it gets cold."
