Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 633

Chapter 633: Chapter 510: Little Douding Practicing Horse Stance

The military bugle sounded in the early morning, and Zhou Jiao opened her eyes to look at Zhao Yuanyuan and Ping’an sleeping soundly beside her. She saw the two were undisturbed like a thunderstorm, and shook her head with a smile.

Despite this, Zhou Jiao quietly climbed down from the kang, careful not to disturb their good dreams. After washing up, she stepped out the door, greeted immediately by the biting cold.

Winter is not a pleasant season. As such, Zhang Guoqing and his two friends were walking on campus, braving the cold wind and trudging through thick snow, which was truly uncomfortable.

Upon entering the living room, Zhou Jiao noticed a pair of her father’s shoes missing. Seeing that he had already gone out to exercise, Zhou Jiao shrugged regrettably and turned to the kitchen.

"Auntie, please heat up more steamed buns and mantou. Xiao Wu might bring classmates back later."

"Sure, I’ll also make some porridge."

After giving her instructions, Zhou Jiao hesitated before going to the storage room. Busy as she had been recently, she wasn’t sure how much inventory was left at home. With visitors coming and the approaching New Year, it seemed more trips to the "Black Market" were necessary.

She didn’t go down to the cellar, as the cabbages and radishes were piled into a mountain thanks to regular supplies and her own "procurements" in the fall, so there was no worry.

After unlocking the door and letting air circulate, Zhou Jiao entered the storage. Apart from three big jars near the entrance being used, and some dumplings missing, everything else was in its original state.

Leaving the room, Zhou Jiao patted her clothes and returned to the kitchen to lend a hand.

Aunt Chen curiously asked, "Why aren’t you going to practice martial arts?"

"Later. There are many people today, so I’ll help out first. Has my dad’s appetite been good lately? Eating the same two dishes every day can’t be good, has he mentioned anything he wants to eat?"

Aunt Chen paused with the platter in her hands. Just the dumplings came in five flavors—how could this not be enough? Could his appetite be for dragon meat? This child...

She frowned, thinking, "Besides adding two more dishes when you return home, the Chief doesn’t have any special requests. He eats the meals I prepare under your instructions just fine."

Zhou Jiao smiled. She must have been half-asleep; her father would never let outsiders see through him.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Chen shook her head with a smile, "It’s my duty. Go practice, I can handle things here alone."

Zhou Jiao glanced at her watch; she had already delayed quite a bit. Checking the stove, she nodded and headed to the courtyard.

The sky was overcast, with gusts of wind making the leaves outside rustle furiously. It seemed like another snowy day.

Zhou Jiao stretched her limbs, her thoughts wandering with the happenings outside as she worried about her husband Zhang Guoqing. With his personality, he should already be on his way home, but she didn’t know how things were turning out.

At seven in the morning, Ping’an opened his eyes and groggily glanced at Zhao Yuanyuan beside him before quickly waking up. Feeling the warmth of his sweater and woolen pants under the quilt, he grinned.

— He’s so smart!

Putting on the sweater and fastening the button on his neck, he disdainfully looked at the woolen pants. He hated wearing them the most, always too small to fit properly.

Thinking about this, Ping’an, wearing his thermal pants, threw off the quilt, slid down along the edge of the kang, grabbed the cotton pants from the warming rack, slipped them on, and smiled triumphantly after putting on the cotton jacket.

Turning back to glance at Zhao Yuanyuan curled up in the quilt, he cautiously pushed the door open and closed it softly. After taking a few steps, he ran clattering to the living room.

"Mom, why didn’t you wake me? I still need to practice my horse stance."

Zhou Jiao was chatting with her dad, turned at the sound, and waved him over with a smile, "It’s not time yet, you get some more sleep. Didn’t wear your woolen pants again, did you?"
