Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 416: Wealth Delivered to the Door

After sending off Mr. Liu and not seeing his figure anymore, Zhang Guoqing chuckled. This old man is really cunning, already wanting to store food. Truly an insightful person.

He hadn’t even reached the living room yet and already heard Zhou Jiao educating the child.

"Alright, son knows he was wrong. Isn’t that right, son? From now on, if it’s someone else’s thing, you need their permission before taking it, understand?"

"Grandpa said it was for dad. I heard it."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing squatted down in front of Ping’an and patted him, "You’re still young and don’t understand. He wanted dad to trade a lot of our family’s food with him. Dad can’t let Ping’an and mom go hungry, right? If dad doesn’t agree, then it has to be returned to grandpa."

Ping’an reluctantly handed the box over, "Dad, give it back to grandpa. I don’t want it anymore."

Zhang Guoqing laughed heartily, "So obedient. This time grandpa said to give the box to Ping’an, so you keep it. Remember, you mustn’t take others’ things in the future."

Zhou Jiao stood beside, shaking her head, "I don’t know if this box is clean or not, I’ll wash it first for Ping’an to play with."

"No need. You stay with the child, I’ll wash it. What’s so special about this broken bird that it has caught my son’s attention? It’s really strange. Last time there was that music box, which was more fun, and he didn’t even rush to get it." After speaking, Zhang Guoqing picked up the box and was about to walk out when...

"Dad, it’s not a broken bird. It can sing."

Zhang Guoqing immediately looked at the box in his hands, "Son, you heard it sing?"

Seeing his face turn pale, Zhou Jiao knew he was overthinking it. She knew her child well; probably the phoenix had its head raised, and he thought it would sing.

Indeed, Ping’an imitated the phoenix’s pose with his head held very high, didn’t it look like he wanted to sing?

Zhang Guoqing exhaled, patting his chest—he really got scared. He thought something supernatural had happened. Ever since having the space, he realized some things in this world can’t be explained by common sense.

This scare made Zhou Jiao unable to bear it, so she personally brought water and indicated he could put the box in.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head; since it involved his son, he couldn’t just ignore it.

He put the box into the water, and soon, he reached in and took it out, observing it very seriously this time—discovering it was just ordinary wood.

He didn’t believe it and put it back into the water again.

Zhou Jiao curiously stepped forward and shook her head. Nothing out of the ordinary!

Zhang Guoqing picked up the box again, tapping it on all sides with his fingers, finding still nothing unusual. His eyebrows tightly furrowed, he squatted to the side, deeply in thought.

This time, Zhou Jiao knew there was definitely something weird. She quickly moved closer to him, examining the wooden box. After a long while and not finding anything strange—it was just a box, wasn’t it?

She worriedly glanced at Ping’an, seeing him watch them both with wide eyes, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Jiao Jiao, don’t laugh. Help me think, what kind of wood makes a bubbling sound when placed in water?"

Zhou Jiao immediately reined in her laughter, took the box, shook her head, "Did you hear a bubbling sound? Could it be the sound of rain outside that you misheard? Try again."

Zhang Guoqing gestured for her to put it in the water.

This time even Ping’an couldn’t sit still, running over to squat beside them. The child didn’t understand and thought they were playing a game together, giggling with delight.

Zhang Guoqing motioned for him to be quiet, listening carefully, and indeed heard the sound; he wasn’t mistaken.

This time he unhesitatingly took it out, wiped it clean with a cloth, and placed it on the coffee table.
