Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727: Chapter 602: Alley Courtyard

Zhang Guoqing, who was worried by Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang about having too much money and getting harmed, once again stepped into the small courtyard alley with his wife. A cool breeze blew through the night, making the courtyard refreshingly cool, tempting one to spend the night, of course, as long as there weren’t any mosquitoes buzzing in the ears.

As Zhou Jiao entered from the alley entrance, she observed that this area was again occupied by the wealthy and powerful. In a regular alley during a summer night, the old men and women would be sitting on small stools, waving fans, and chatting outside. But here, although the courtyard gates were open, each family stayed in their own yard to enjoy the breeze, with occasional musical sounds drifting out.

This is simply a suicidal alley!

Zhou Jiao decided with a twinge of anxiety that she would obediently stay in the big courtyard. She wouldn’t even consider living in this small courtyard until the danger was eliminated.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhang Guoqing immediately embraced her to look at the "Lotus Pond Moonlight," gazing into the distance, where there were still a few people walking in the park.

"So, what do you think? This place is beautiful, right? The scenery is even better than that five-entry big courtyard. In the summer, you can enjoy the breeze, watch the fallen leaves in the autumn, and admire the remaining snow in the winter. How about it?"

Zhou Jiao smiled gently after listening. Not bad for this science student!

"I’ve already planned it out. Later, I’ll use Dad’s military vehicle to greet the street, just saying we usually live at the school and only come back occasionally to rest for a few nights."

Seeing his rare childlike demeanor, Zhou Jiao knew that he genuinely liked this place. So she decided to satisfy him, but still, what needed to be reminded must be reminded. This was Zhou Jiao!

"Okay. But we can’t live here often. Also, let Dad take a look at who else lives around here; safety comes first."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded.

He didn’t mention to his wife that his father-in-law had said that when the two of them went to work, if he moved to the new big courtyard, this would be their foothold in the city.

Just during this short conversation, mosquitoes had already gathered around the light bulb. Zhou Jiao frowned at the sight and immediately looked away. With so many flowers and plants near the water, it was indeed a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

"Getting to work?"

Talking about the proper business, Zhang Guoqing restrained his smile, closed the windows, looked around, and said to her, "I’ll stay outside. You hurry."

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. With her man safeguarding the door, she felt more assured than anyone. She was already well-versed in the mechanisms the Gu Family commonly used, especially since this was the simplest version.

After only a few steps, a clicking sound automatically came from the corner of the wall, blending harmoniously with the sounds of cicadas and frogs outside in the night.

Who knows how Old Mrs. Cheng knew about this mechanism and could use it to hide things. Thinking about it being old Mrs. Cheng’s dowry made it somewhat understandable.

Soon, two half-meter-long slender wooden boxes emerged from the blue bricks in the corner.

Zhou Jiao put them directly into her storage space, looked at the empty area, restored it to its original state, and left the room without a speck of dust. She looked at Zhang Guoqing, who turned his head towards her, and she nodded with a smile.

Standing in the courtyard, to avoid being overheard over the wall, the couple didn’t communicate about the matter, merely exchanging a tacit look before joining hands and entering the main room of the north house.

Zhou Jiao put the two slender boxes on the kang.

The 15-watt light made Zhang Guoqing see that the two boxes were made of extremely precious agarwood. He leaned closer in surprise and took a sniff; it was truly extravagant!

Zhou Jiao smiled silently at him, nodding softly at his gaze. As soon as she opened the sealed space, she had already smelled the unique fragrance of the agarwood; it wasn’t anything surprising.
