Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575: Chapter 456: Worse Than Pigs

Three hurried days passed, and after handling the miscellaneous matters, Zhou Jiao saw that even the matters of the old clan leader’s grandson were arranged, and she proposed to return to Beijing. The festival is approaching, parents at home are busier, and she is still worried about her son being home alone.

Reluctant to leave National Day heard the word "son," he ultimately suppressed his sadness and parted with his parents. Even though Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang were unwilling to leave their homeland, he couldn’t help but persuade them repeatedly.

With a feeling of disappointment, he once again stopped his parents from seeing him off at the door and once again entrusted the relatives and friends who saw him off to take good care of his parents.

As the silhouettes of the young couple disappeared, this time Mother Zhang touched a handful of food coupons and money in her pocket, she struggled to hold back her tears and smiled at the road junction.

She quietly told herself not to be sad; her younger son wasn’t going away forever. She would leave after Lao Er’s family had a child, just as her own Jiao Jiao said in spring, it would be a pity not to go to Beijing.

Mr. Zhang saw his wife constantly smiling and was very curious. After chatting with everyone for a while and seeing everyone disperse to work, he followed his wife into the bedroom.

"Mother of the child, have you figured it out this time? It should be like this! When the weather gets warmer, I will definitely keep my word and take you to Beijing."

Mother Zhang nodded with a smile, hid the money from her pocket in the corner of the wall, and quietly said: "This time Jiao Jiao stuffed money again. Let’s help them save it."

She didn’t mention that this was the daughter-in-law secretly giving her dowry money to supplement her own family. How could those two little kids know how hard it was to earn money; food coupons were even harder to come by. No matter how much her family supported her, it shouldn’t cost her younger son anything. In the future, the younger son will still have to have children and raise them, one doesn’t know how much it will cost, she has to save it for the children in case of urgent need.

"Hmm, save it all up, and give it back to him in the future. What do we use money for at home? This child stirs things up every time, it’s either fine grain or meat, it makes me tired watching."

Mother Zhang burst out laughing. Who else has such a son? Of course, there is also merit from her father-in-law. It’s not that she likes to boast, but all her sons are more capable than one another. Her little Xiao Wu, not to brag, making money is like child’s play, there’s nothing kids can’t accomplish. The fine grains and wild flavors that others can’t seek, her younger son just takes a stroll and has them.

At this moment, Zhang Guoqing was on a car heading to the provincial city with Zhou Jiao; he didn’t know his mother had already deified him. Looking out the window, thinking about the future plans, his heart was filled with melancholy—he really wouldn’t have time to go back to his hometown in the next few years.

Upon arriving at the provincial city, not caring about melancholy sentiment, he plunged into ordinary life again, went to the North Station, and visited Station Chief Zhang. Besides visiting the other party before leaving to deepen feelings, he also planned to arrange jobs for his two cousins from the maternal family.

Relying on family relief is not a long-term solution; only if the two honest little cousins are on the railway, enter the factory, have jobs, and find good people to marry, his mother’s burden will be much lighter.

Zhang Guoqing absolutely did not admit that he dares not arrange them in the county, insist on doing it in the provincial city. It is to avoid the family cousins back home.

Everyone is selfish; with this job arrangement, apart from Zhou Jiao, he didn’t dare to tell even his father. Just one Huang Cuilan had already shown him the ugliness of human nature; he no longer wanted to see Old Zhang’s family destroy itself.

Zhou Jiao strongly agreed with his idea, mainly because the thick calluses on the hands of those two girls moved her. She liked those two girls who could work while studying, wouldn’t feel resentful after quitting school and going home, wouldn’t find ways to approach her for benefits.

Such people made her feel comfortable. As for whether they would change their temperament in the future, that she wouldn’t care. There’s no reason to help matchmake and guarantee there would surely be sons.
