Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Chapter 393: Beijing Before the New Year

Beijing, at dusk, Old Mrs. Cheng came out of the post office with the maid.

The heavy parcels weighed the maid down so much that she couldn’t straighten her back. Once she placed them on the back of the bicycle, she let out a huge sigh of relief.

On the way, they ran into acquaintances. Old Mrs. Cheng wasn’t in the mood to chat, exchanged a few pleasantries, and quickly followed behind the maid. Watching the parcels on the back seat, she silently shook her head in her heart.

When they reached home, the maid quickly refused the old lady’s help, holding her breath, she moved step by step into the living room.

Old Mrs. Cheng had been waiting with scissors for a while. As soon as the parcels hit the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward to open them. A rush of meat and seafood aromas hit the nose.

Inside were small, finely stitched cloth bags. If it weren’t for the smell, it would be hard to tell what they were. Who knows how they checked these before sending? Judging by the old lady’s observation, Zhou Jiao must have spent a lot of time stitching the bags closed at the post office.

She didn’t open the bags inside, but after searching for a while, she found a letter inside.

Seeing the familiar, delicate handwriting, Old Mrs. Cheng smiled and quickly opened the envelope. As she read on, her face gradually blossomed into a radiant smile.

"Madam, what did Jiao Jiao say to make you so happy? Didn’t she send something with Chief Zhou a while ago? Why send more now? It seems that the Northeast is really wealthy, not short of food at all, truly a good place."

The old lady laughed heartily, "Where is it not short of food? I think this child sent all the things from her godfather and relatives to the Big Courtyard. She heard from Lin Lishan that her father has gotten thinner and asked me to keep an eye on his eating and resting."

The maid shook her head with a smile, "This father and daughter....."

"Their relationship is good, isn’t it? They’ve been through a lot together."

The old lady carefully folded the letter, planning to let her nephew see it later. It’s not that she’s overseeing the child, but because Jiao Jiao asked her to keep an eye on her nephew, she couldn’t disobey.

"Madam, how should we arrange the things in the bags? Should we send them to the Zhou Family?"

Old Mrs. Cheng shook her head, leaning back and closing her eyes to rest.

Who is this child, Zhou Jiao? Since she sent it directly to her hands, it means she doesn’t trust Lin Lishan and is afraid the items will end up at the Lin Family. She being an outsider, it’s not appropriate to inspect her nephew’s storeroom. Doing so, what does it make her?

However, she hasn’t grown up just eating greens. From her observation, Lin Lishan doesn’t have the guts to move things to her natal family, at most carrying some when visiting Old Lin.

"Do you think Xiao Zheng has gotten thinner recently?"

The maid shook her head, "I haven’t noticed him getting thinner. Seeing him every day might make it hard to tell."

The old lady laughed hard when she heard this, "I may have poor eyesight, but you are still young. Since you say he’s not thinner, I’ll write back to Jiao Jiao saying her father is well. Alright, tonight we’re stewing an old hen, adding a few slices of ginseng from last time, so Jiao Jiao can be at ease."

The maid nodded with a smile, "Shall I move the parcels to the storeroom?"

"No need. Send them with the chicken soup to Xiao Zheng tonight."

"Send it all? The bags have Zhou and Cheng written on them. It’s obvious Jiao Jiao separated them."
