Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: Chapter 641: Return to the Black Market

As darkness fell, the production team’s horn finally sounded again, and faint cheering could still be heard. This sound roused Zhang Guoqing from his good sleep.

He opened his eyes to look at the dark night beyond the curtain, got off the bed in the darkness, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw a face in the living room adorned with a bright smile.

"Awake? Did the horn wake you up?"

Zhang Guoqing took a towel from the washstand and shook his head, "I just woke up naturally. Why don’t you come over and lie down with me for a bit? Where’s our son?"

"Just now, Xi Zi and a few others came by. He was worried they might wake you, so he took them to the old courtyard," Zhou Jiao said with a smile. As for lying down with him? Haha~

After washing his face, Zhang Guoqing saw the food on the table bed and said, "I’m not hungry at all right now, let’s pack it up and eat on the road." After saying that, he thought it might be inappropriate, "Have you eaten?"

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded.

"Then let’s say goodbye to our son and leave?"

"No need, I already told Ping’an that we’ll leave directly later to prevent Xi Zi and the others from wanting to follow us back to the county. He reminded you not to forget your promise to him."

Zhang Guoqing laughed, "That little rascal."

"Xi Zi said Dad was taken to the canteen to eat by Grandfather San and the others, so I gave ten pounds of sorghum liquor and two packets of appetizers to Mom, and by now they should be eating."

"That’s perfect, saves us a trip. Shall we set off then?"

"Yes, the earlier we go, the earlier we’ll be back."

The couple took a flashlight and left the village. Not far from the entrance, Zhang Guoqing asked Zhou Jiao to take out the cart so he could pull her, but Zhou Jiao declined.

Did he really think he was a bull just because he was strong? Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him in the darkness.

But no matter how much she felt sorry for him, they couldn’t escape reality. Halfway through the journey, Zhang Guoqing couldn’t take it anymore and picked her up to run. Walking so slowly to the county, the sky would brighten.

"I’ll carry you, can’t I?"

Seeing the person in his arms getting anxious, Zhang Guoqing teased, "You carry? Can you manage?" As he spoke, he really put her down and carried her again.

"What if someone sees us?"

Zhang Guoqing said nonchalantly, "It’s pitch dark, who knows who we are? Don’t make a sound, no one will know. I’ll run faster, if Uncle Dashan falls asleep by the time we arrive, it’ll be easy to ask."

Now, Zhang Guoqing truly demonstrated his abilities, running rapidly in the direction of the county. Fortunately, they encountered no one on the way, otherwise the enthusiastic villagers might have rushed to the hospital thinking something major happened?

Approaching the county, Zhou Jiao got off his back and said admiringly, "You’re amazing, carrying a full-grown person like me without panting."

"Tch~ it depends on who it is. If it were someone else, I’d have been exhausted long ago. When you’re on my back, with your familiar scent, my adrenaline just surges like I’ve taken a drug."

Zhou Jiao quickly tugged at him, "Keep your voice down."

Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at her. Such a timid woman, how did she manage to conduct several cartloads of business?

Zhou Jiao chatted with the old master at the county restaurant alone. Before half an hour passed, Zhang Guoqing was already driving a military truck slowly by.
