Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763: Chapter 638: The Aunts Visit

On their way down the mountain, it was already dusk. The western sky was as red as blood, tinting the horizon with a flush of evening clouds. In the distance, the vast farmland and the crops in the dry fields were full of life, with a mix of yellow and green. In the golden wheat fields, members of the commune were still bustling with the harvest.

Standing halfway up the mountain and looking out, the view was magnificent! This beautiful scene made Zhou Jiao unable to resist taking out her camera, adjusting the focus, and capturing a series of landscapes.

After taking the photos, Zhou Jiao regrettably said, "It’s a pity there’s no color option."

Zhang Guoqing comforted her, "The camera can’t capture the shock in your heart right now. You could try painting it. When we get old, I’ll organize an art exhibition for you. At that time, we’ll include calligraphy and embroidery for a talent showcase."

Zhou Jiao turned back with a smile, playfully scolding, "What are you talking about? You’d make people laugh their heads off."

Ping’an unconditionally supported his dad, quickly saying, "Who would dare? Watch me teach them a lesson! My grandpa said if my mom used all her skills, no talented woman would dare show her face."

Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter upon hearing this. Such words could indeed only come from a doting father-in-law. If not limited by circumstances, he figured his father-in-law would have wanted to announce it to the world through a newspaper.

Zhou Jiao, frightened by their talk, quickened her pace. Luckily, there was no one around to hear; otherwise, it would have been such an embarrassment. Like the old saying, "the melon vendor bragging about their own melons."

She didn’t yet know. Back at the old courtyard, Mother Zhang welcomed two prominent visitors—her elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law, each carrying a bamboo basket, arrived hand in hand.

Mother Zhang, overjoyed, pulled them inside, "Sister-in-law, younger sister-in-law, how come you have time to visit? If there’s anything, just send a message, and I’ll come over."

Zhang Guoqing’s eldest aunt teased, "What? Are we not welcome to visit?"

"Oh, you’re more than welcome."

His second aunt smiled, "We heard in the morning that Xiao Wu and his wife brought the child back to the village, so we wanted to come and see the child and also say thank you."

Mother Zhang knew they rushed over as soon as they got the news.

She lamented, "He’s your own nephew; there’s no need for formalities. Xiao Wu mentioned just today that he plans to visit his two uncles in the coming days."

The eldest aunt couldn’t stop smiling, "How considerate is this child? Da Niu, you’ve raised three good sons, making the whole family well-off."

The second aunt nodded, looking around, "Big sister, where are brother-in-law and the children?"

Mother Zhang smiled wryly, "Your brother-in-law just can’t sit still. As soon as Xiao Wu left with Jiao Jiao and the child in the morning, he rushed off to the team to help."

"Xiao Wu is also worried about his father overextending himself, you should persuade him more."

"There’s no point, no matter how much I say. Xiao Wu has already discussed with Jiao Jiao that if his father gets too tired, they’ll drag him to Beijing and won’t let him come back."

The two aunts laughed heartily at this.

The eldest aunt stopped laughing, exclaiming, "Xiao Wu married the right woman. Back then, some people felt sorry for him, thinking he married a young wife who couldn’t work."

The second aunt calmly remarked, "Those old women have nothing nice to say. What’s the use of marrying a rough woman who can work if Xiao Wu doesn’t like her? Marriage is about fate, and Jiao Jiao has a wonderful personality."

Mother Zhang beamed upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly, "Exactly. I’ve watched her grow up speaking softly and gently, just the right match for Xiao Wu’s stubborn temper.

They’ve been married this long and have never even had an argument. Our Jiao Jiao never acts out no matter how upset she gets."

Eldest aunt: "You’re really blessed with a child like that."

The second aunt, seeing Mother Zhang’s delighted face and taking a glance at her clothes, teased, "Big sister, I bet these clothes are made by Jiao Jiao again?"
