Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Chapter 446: Sincere and Genuine

As soon as the weekend arrived and evening self-study was over, Zhou Jiao couldn’t sit still. The moment the bell rang, she picked up her bag and hurried out, so anxious that Zhang Guoqing behind her couldn’t even respond to others, closely following behind.

The snow on the dirt road, melted by the sun during the day, had turned into icy water. As more people walked on it, it gradually became a muddy, pitted path. A thin layer of ice became treacherous, and stepping on it carelessly could send you sprawling.

Zhou Jiao held tightly onto his hand, feeling a stinging chill underfoot, somewhat regretting not wearing her sheepskin boots. Dragged along by Zhang Guoqing, they finally hurried to the small train station.

"Precious girl, have your dad come pick you up, we could use the convenience."

"Daddy, I’m freezing. I’m cold, so cold." Yi Jiefang said coquettishly in a girlish tone.

Wan Dayong contemptuously kicked him, "Talking all girly, you’re giving me goosebumps."

"Brother Wan, do one too."

"Stupid Datou, you traitor with your heart elsewhere."

Faced with Wan Dayong and their jokes, she remained unperturbed. If it weren’t for them getting in the way, she would have already been on Zhang Guoqing’s back heading home.

Ever since the weather turned cold, bundled up like a bear, Zhou Jiao was teased so much by them that she didn’t even blink. She felt embarrassed to say she was still underdressed.

"Xiao Wu, how about a bet? A meal of hot pot."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and shook his head.

"You... you... don’t dare take the challenge? Are you a man, are you tough? I haven’t even said what the bet is about."

Ding Datou winked and nudged Geng Dasheng beside him.

"What?"

Zhou Jiao looked at the bewildered Geng Dasheng, bowing her head in muffled laughter. Among the group, this poor kid was the most honest, untainted by the world.

Everyone burst into laughter at Geng Dasheng’s sudden shout. Needless to say, Ding Datou was picking on the honest guy, but always ended up losing.

Wan Dayong hooked an arm around Yi Jiefang’s neck, "What’s the bet? Tell us. This weather’s perfect for hot pot."

"How about we two bet on whether Uncle Zhou will come to the gate to pick up the precious girl?"

Zhang Guoqing gestured at Wan Dayong at these words, and those who saw it lowered their heads, holding back laughter.

"Sure thing. Feeling bored, let’s do it."

"Everyone in on it, don’t leave us out."

Yi Jiefang crossed his arms, shaking his right leg, "I bet Old Zhou is definitely outside the house."

"Haha... Not betting on the gate anymore? Oh well, I’ll take a small loss and bet. Da Yi, I’m quite the pal, right?"

Those in the know barely suppressed their laughter.

Arriving at the big courtyard, everyone pulled Yi Jiefang along as they strolled, staying far from the Zhou family’s gate, lest Zhou Xiaozheng spotted them and skinned them alive.

Yi Jiefang looked incredulously at the Zhou family gate, "Is God messing with me? Uncle Zhou wouldn’t have gone on a business trip, right? Impossible."

Zhou Jiao glanced sideways at this fool. Involving my dad, making jokes about our father-daughter duo, let’s see if you don’t lose your pants over this bet.
