Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Chapter 55: Each with Their Own Thoughts

Lin Xinsheng didn’t mind and continued, "Your dad is back, and your family is reunited. I haven’t seen him and your eldest uncle yet, but I heard the chief arranged for them to be in Beijing. I don’t know what he’s planning. When are you going to Beijing, National Day? Tell your grandpa your thoughts. Don’t hide and pretend to be dumb. Speak up, young man."

Zhang Guoqing thought for a moment before speaking, "Grandpa, I don’t want to go to Beijing right now. Since my mother-in-law is here, I’ll share my thoughts. I’m still young and want to settle down, spend a few years in the Northeast, working and studying. I’ll accumulate experience, and when our child is older, Jiao Jiao and I can take the college entrance exam together. By then, it’ll still be early enough to go to Beijing."

"Good, good, good, ambitious and with a backbone, and you set a goal early. You’re only 18 this year, right? Very good. Our Jiao Jiao has great taste in finding a good match and marrying into a good family. Old Zhang, you and your wife are excellent at raising children. Your son is outstanding." Mr. Lin handed the child to Zhang Guoqing, patting him repeatedly and expressing his excitement with three consecutive "goods."

Mr. Zhang quickly waved his hand, grinning from ear to ear at Zhang Guoqing. Nothing in the world is more delightful than hearing others praise your own son.

Mr. Lin glanced at his daughter and said, "Daughter, now that both your daughter and son-in-law are here, let me, as the father, say a few words. Listen to my opinions. Regarding Zhou Xiaozheng’s future position, I don’t support him staying in Beijing or with his original unit. I came to the Northern Military Region not only for a meeting but to see the situation here. I also didn’t allow your older brother to stay in Beijing; I arranged for them to be in other military regions. I don’t know what the higher-ups think."

After speaking, Mr. Zhang was the only one in the Zhang Family deep in thought; the other two brothers didn’t understand the implications, just like his daughter, nodding in agreement. Seeing Zhou Jiao calm, tapping her fingers on the kang, it showed she had her thoughts.

"Jiao Jiao, tell grandpa what you think. If your dad stays in Beijing, whether you live in the Big Courtyard or your siheyuan, you’ll be very impressive when you go out. You have a grand house in Beijing, and your mom has put a lot of effort into decorating it; it’s very beautiful. There are so many beautiful clothes in Beijing, and you can watch movies in the Big Courtyard. You can work at your mom’s Art Troupe anytime if you want. Are you interested in going?" Lin Xinsheng teased his granddaughter.

Zhou Jiao smiled, watching her grandpa playing tricks, teasing her, "Grandpa, don’t tease me; I won’t fall for it. We listen to you; you’re the evergreen tree of our family. Why would I need to be so impressive? I don’t bully others, and others can’t cross my bottom line either. We’ll live well anywhere, and in two or three years, I, your granddaughter, will officially attend Beijing University and make you proud."

"You little fox, aren’t you curious if your dad will agree?"

"Isn’t my mom there? She can cry to him if needed?"

Lin Lishan was both embarrassed and angry, shouting at the two, "You wretched child, what’s with having your mom cry to him? If he doesn’t listen to me, I’ll smack him. You really are a hard child to like. I better go see my good baby."
