Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Chapter 461: An Unprecedented Invitation

Zhou Xiaozheng was taking the children past the Lin Family’s home, not far from the Cheng Family. Just then, Li Jianjun was accompanying his wife, pushing a cart home in front of them.

Hearing Ping’an’s voice, Li Jianjun turned his head and saw their family, stopped, and greeted them with a smile. He didn’t ask where they were coming from—besides the Cheng Family, there was no other possibility.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded at him and continued moving forward.

Zhou Jiao glanced at Lin Liyin, who was beside him with an unchanged expression, and smiled as she nodded at Li Jianjun. In the past, she would have greeted this aunt, but since the other gave no friendly face, she was even less inclined to speak.

Ping’an, such a smart kid, seeing that the adults didn’t prompt him to greet, pointed in the direction of the house, "Dad, I’m tired, let’s go home quickly."

Zhang Guoqing had a good impression of this uncle-in-law. Seeing everyone silent and the atmosphere slightly awkward, his son’s remark prompted him to say with a smile, "Okay, we’ll be home soon. Uncle-in-law, take care."

Zhou Jiao gave a playful smile. It seemed that when the Lin Family besieged Zhang Guoqing that day, this uncle-in-law didn’t get involved. Certainly, he didn’t side with him either, otherwise, Zhang Guoqing would have invited him over.

"Alright, you better hurry home with the kids. Come over and play when you have time, your two cousins always talk about you."

Zhang Guoqing smiled, nodded, and, holding his son, turned to follow his wife and the others. Due to the setting, he couldn’t ask aloud. He was still curious about what happened tonight, wasn’t he?

Entering the house, Lin Lishan was staring dazedly at the newspaper in her hand in the living room, and waking to the sound, she smiled and said, "You’re back. I was planning to go to Aunt’s house, but it got late, and I thought you had already returned."

Zhou Jiao saw that her father didn’t acknowledge her and certainly didn’t show a good face. She sighed quietly, hurriedly responding to her mother, "Why didn’t you rest first when you got back? Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something for supper?"

Lin Lishan stood up and hung their family’s coats, shaking her head, "I’m not hungry, let Aunt Chen make some dumplings for your dad. He didn’t eat much tonight."

Ping’an complained beside them, "Grandpa really loves mom’s shrimp dumplings. It’s all Uncle Yu’s fault for eating Grandpa’s share."

Zhou Xiaozheng was amused, showing a smile, and waved at him. Looking at the grandson in his embrace, he smiled and said, "Aren’t you the one who likes Uncle Yu the most? Does it hurt your heart?"

Ping’an hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t like it when he eats and then takes away."

Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile. Such pettiness!

"Don’t worry, your mom made plenty, enough for our whole family." Zhang Guoqing, the doting father, quickly comforted him, unable to stand his son pouting.

Ping’an mimicked Mother Zhang’s tone, "Oh my, Jiao Jiao again wasting things."

The child’s imitational baby voice amused the whole family.

Zhang Guoqing saw Zhou Jiao walking towards the kitchen and discreetly followed, refusing Aunt Chen’s offer to help. He had something to ask his wife, and couldn’t let outsiders linger.

In the kitchen, seeing Aunt Chen leave, Zhou Jiao smiled at Zhang Guoqing.

"The Lin Family is stirring things up again? Who’s sick this time, or who’s back in Beijing? Every time they return to the Big Courtyard, they have a lot of issues, why can’t they just stop?"

Zhou Jiao chuckled. It’s true, there are too many issues because someone spoils them. Let’s see if they’ll come again.

"Wife, tell me, what really happened?"

Zhou Jiao had no intention of hiding from him, as she boiled water while narrating.

Tonight, besides Zhang Guoqing, the whole family accompanied Old Mrs. Cheng and her grandchild after dinner, and then her Aunt Lin Liyin came first.
