Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 537: No More Naïve Innocents These Days

Before we had time to savor spring, the breath of early summer hit us, as if overnight, the campus was suddenly devoid of jackets and thin coats. With an unintentional glance, one could see a garden full of short-sleeved vests, with the occasional flicker of swaying skirt hems.

Early summer was truly arriving. The biting cold of winter was gone, and the gale and sandstorms of late spring had passed. Summer had arrived quietly.

After finishing her experiment, Zhou Jiao left with a group of female classmates. As she made small talk with them, she was simultaneously thinking about rushing home to sew two sets of short tops and shorts for her son.

"Jiao Jiao, look ahead... it’s a pity you haven’t worn a long skirt these past two years."

Zhou Jiao followed the direction hinted at by her classmate and saw four or five girls in cloth skirts ahead, chuckling to herself, thinking that when the night turns cold, they’ll be quite chilly.

"I’m planning to go to the department store tomorrow, do you want to make one too?"

"I’ll pass. I’ll save some cloth tickets to make summer clothes for the kids." Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head. Skirts were something she only wore at home; in the past two years, she had already stopped wearing them in public places.

It’s best to avoid trouble when you can. Since starting university, neither she nor Zhang Guoqing had made new clothes, and in the past two years, she had subtly influenced her mom to change her dressing style.

At the crossroads, Zhou Jiao parted ways with the others and quickly returned to the dormitory. Since the weather had become hot, there were significantly fewer clothes hanging in the corridors, which was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Zhiying, holding an enamel washbasin, came downstairs cheerfully. Seeing Zhou Jiao, she quickened her pace and whispered, "They have an event tonight, come early."

Zhou Jiao blinked in confusion, "What event? If it’s stealing melons, I’m not going. I can’t run fast."

Zhang Zhiying hesitated for a second, then smiled and shook her head, "Well, just wait for us in the usual spot. Xiao Wu and the others have an event tonight too, don’t they?"

Zhou Jiao, puzzled, tilted her head and replied hesitantly, "I think there’s no event. I heard they’re having a meeting. After finishing the experiment, he and Da Yi went to find our class counselor."

Zhang Zhiying shook her head with a smile, "They’re really busy. Those underclassmen want to take a walk outdoors, and I originally planned to get help from the student council to organize it. Forget it, we’ll talk about it later. Next month is my birthday, you must bring your friends from your department to my house as guests."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, but then said, "No problem. I will definitely help you invite them. But next month I might be going out with the professors, we’ll talk then."

Zhang Zhiying’s face stiffened, and she said with a smile, "Alright. I’m going to wash clothes now. Do you have any for change, so I can wash them together?"

"Not now, but there will definitely be some for you later." Zhou Jiao laughed.

Zhang Zhiying laughed heartily along with her and waved goodbye as she went downstairs.

What a silly laugh. It’s just idle worry, like eating radishes and worrying for nothing, managing even the underclassmen and trying to get involved with the student council. She’s just like her dad, a bureaucratic enthusiast.

And that Wang Huihui, really, birds of a feather flock together.

Watching her back, Zhou Jiao lowered her eyes, curled her lips in a knowing smile, and turned back to her room. The outside world was so complicated, she wanted to go home to find her dad.

Inside the room, Zhou Jiao sighed, spent a moment in a daze, and then pulled herself together, taking out a piece of yellow-green fabric to start sewing Ping’an’s little shirts and shorts.

Not half an hour had passed when someone downstairs started calling for Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao put down her work, opened the window, and peeked out. It was Qiao Na, who had returned with her earlier. She waved to her from below.

"Jiao Jiao, come out with me for a while."

Zhou Jiao gestured that she would come down soon. To be honest, she was never able to shout loudly, so she envied her mother-in-law’s boisterous voice.

Putting things away, Zhou Jiao left a note, shouldered her military pack, and ran downstairs, secretly preparing some tickets in her pocket as backup.
