Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: Chapter 504: Little Tattletale

Ping’an flipped through the book, his eyes occasionally glancing at the clock. As soon as the hour, minute, and second hand all gathered at twelve, he immediately stood up, arranged his books neatly, and set off towards the living room.

Seeing this, Lin Lishan persuaded, "Wait inside. They won’t be back so soon."

Ping’an heard her steps, turned his head and smiled, "My mom and dad said they’d be back by half-past twelve, and they never lie to me."

"It’s not time yet, you know." Lin Lishan got up and followed behind him.

Ping’an was displeased. Don’t think he’s small; he knows that whenever his parents promise something, they’re always early, right? He wanted to go to the door to meet them.

Sure enough, before Ping’an even reached the gate, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao came in one after the other. Upon seeing their son, they quickly stepped forward and picked him up.

Ping’an proudly lifted his chin and smiled at his grandmother.

Lin Lishan shook her head with a smile and said to Zhang Guoqing and his wife, "Ping’an said you should be back, and he was right. The child missed you both and kept checking the time."

Zhang Guoqing hugged his son lovingly... they still spent too little time with the child.

"Want to go to school with Dad?" Even though the child might not agree, he couldn’t help but ask.

"No, I can see Mom and Dad every couple of days, and I need to stay with Grandma and Grandpa. Without me at home, they say they feel lonely."

"I also need to accompany Great Grandma and help Auntie manage the little ones; I’m really busy."

Lin Lishan laughed heartily, "Our Ping’an can give massages, chat with Grandma, and accompany Grandma shopping. You weren’t home, and Grandma was worried sick."

"My son is so capable, truly remarkable. Hmm, Dad will give you a reward, anything you want, just say it, and it will be yours."

Ping’an frowned and thought hard.

Food? Mom has hidden so many things in the box; he hasn’t finished them yet. Toys? He has all the toys other kids have, and even those they don’t have, he has.

Zhou Jiao smoothed her son’s furrowed brow and smiled, "Alright, stop thinking. Today, Mom and Dad will play with you. You can think about it later, and when you have an idea, write it down. We’ll handle them one by one slowly."

Zhou Jiao saw her son listening and nodding happily, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the child really made a request and they couldn’t fulfill it, it would break his heart.

She didn’t want the two of them to owe the child time and break their promises, causing him disappointment.

Zhang Guoqing continued, "You can also write a note and stick it in Mom and Dad’s room. When we come back and don’t see you, we can see, oh, Ping’an left us a message."

"I know, it’s leaving a note."

"Yes, my son is really smart."

Lin Lishan saw them continuously chatting and reminded, "Don’t get hungry now; let’s eat first."

Mentioning eating, the little tattletale finally seized the opportunity.

Sitting on Zhang Guoqing’s lap, eating the meat in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on Lin Lishan and Aunt Chen moving back and forth.

Finally, the two were busy with their own things and left.

Seeing this, Ping’an’s mouth started babbling quietly, "Aunt Chen served two bowls of this for Great Grandma, Grandma watched and took one more bowl of this and ran. Great Grandma returned this fish, Grandma came back with an empty plate."

Zhang Guoqing had dared not put food in his mouth from the start of his snooping to avoid choking. At this point, he watched his chubby little hand pointing at the dishes on the table, speaking in a hushed voice, making him quite entertaining. He sighed inwardly that fortunately, he foresaw this.

Zhou Jiao heard but didn’t comment on adult matters; children shouldn’t be involved. It’s good to let the child observe more of the surroundings, as long as they don’t stop or harm others.
