Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Chapter 450: A Love Called Parenting

There is a kind of love, engraved in the bones, fused into the blood. That heavy parental love is higher than the sky, deeper than the earth, and it has always been selflessly giving.

This love is also like a kite, one end is the parents, and the string pulls at the children. If it drifts too far, some strings can’t withstand the changes of time and space and may break.

Zhang Guoqing didn’t want that string to become too old and worn out, so he carefully guarded it, hoping for his parents to leave their homeland and for the family to reunite. But reality is too difficult. His parents held onto many thick strings, also protecting his brothers and sisters.

Sounds of chaotic footsteps came from the Zhang Family Courtyard, with Mother Zhang’s suspicious muttering. Soon, the door flew open, revealing Zhang Guoqing’s familiar face.

Not daring to believe it, Mother Zhang stepped forward and grabbed her eldest son, laughing happily, "Child’s father, it’s our Xiao Wu, our Xiao Wu has come home."

Zhou Jiao burst into laughter, "Mom, I’m back too. Dad, we’ve missed you so much."

Mr. Zhang’s eyes turned red, nodding with a smile, "Good, good children, good, it’s good that you’re back..."

Seeing his father so overwhelmed with emotion made Zhang Guoqing’s nose tingle. His parents must have been thinking about him all the time, and thankfully he was finally back.

He dropped his luggage and went forward to embrace his father, softly saying, "Dad, your eldest son is back."

Mr. Zhang patted him with relief and laughed heartily.

Mother Zhang pulled Zhou Jiao, observed her for a while, and nodded satisfactorily, "Good, as long as you haven’t lost weight."

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. She couldn’t express in words her gratitude to her parents-in-law. The old couple always told them not to come back, how could they not be worried about them?

"Mother of the children, quickly cook something to fill the kids’ bellies. Cook more, I’ll have some too."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao paused and observed their complexion carefully—thankfully, they hadn’t lost weight! She was almost scared to death.

Zhang Guoqing and his father carried the luggage into the house, and as they reached the living room, Mr. Zhang asked, "Are the kids doing well? Didn’t I tell you not to come back? Why did you come back home again?"

"Ping’an is doing better than anyone. We originally wanted to bring him back too but were worried about the safety of the journey. We haven’t seen you for half a year, and we couldn’t be at ease without coming back."

Mr. Zhang looked at his son with a beaming smile. Half a year without seeing each other, he hadn’t lost weight, actually seemed even more robust. Good, it seemed the family was indeed doing well. That’s all that matters!

Zhang Guoqing looked around, "Dad, is everything okay at home for you and mom? Are the monthly rations issued? Is there enough firewood for cooking?"

"Your mom and I are eating and drinking well, so don’t worry. The ration tickets you sent last time are still saved here, no need to send anything more."

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing didn’t ask further. Some things he needed to see for himself. He stood up, opened his casual luggage, took out a bag of photos, and handed them to his father.

Mr. Zhang looked at the photos of his grandson, grinning widely. After a while, he said, "He’s chubby, definitely doing well. Now that you two are back, will he fuss about wanting his parents?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile and said softly, "Your little grandson stayed a few nights with us at the school, but once he went home with his grandma, he wouldn’t come back with us anymore.
