Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819: Chapter 692: Someone from the Miao Family Arrives

After listening to these things, Zhou Jiao no longer felt like shopping. Right now, the only option was to go back and tell her dad about these matters; there were many things that needed reconsideration.

As soon as she pushed open her own door, Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen, pointed towards the living room, and whispered, "Someone from the Miao family is here, your mom is entertaining him."

"Miao family? Who’s that? Isn’t my mom supposed to be working today?"

Zhang Guoqing laughed softly, suddenly recalling his mother-in-law’s "maiden family"—the Miao family. Someone really did come knocking, how could they explain sending the newborn away secretly back then?

And now his mother-in-law might cry, right? This false is real, real is false. With his mother-in-law’s mental capacity, it really is quite a dilemma!

Zhou Jiao, seeing him laugh, suddenly remembered which Miao family it was.

"You remembered? This guy, as it turns out, is your cousin. Quite an honest young man! This pair—his aunt and nephew—didn’t say anything, just sat stupidly; I was getting anxious for them. You guys should go in and have a look. Your mom has asked about when you would come back dozens of times."

Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes and muttered, "Most annoying thing ever, cousins and the like. Honey, from now on, no matter the relationship, just call them comrade."

Zhou Jiao glanced at him with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking."

Aunt Chen watched them bantering happily and sensibly retreated into the kitchen. Better to avoid going back to the Northeast, home is so much better, so much more lively!

Indeed, there was a young man around twenty sitting in the living room. Seeing Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing come in, he quickly stood up and awkwardly looked at the couple.

Zhang Guoqing promptly greeted him, "No need to be formal, please take a seat."

The young man laughed a little awkwardly, scratched his head, and obediently sat down.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao looked at her mom in surprise.

Lin Lishan pulled her over to sit and introduced, "This is your cousin Miao Zhicheng, he’s a year older than Xiao Wu. This time he was recommended by his unit to come to Beijing for studies."

"Xiao San, this is your brother-in-law Zhang Guoqing, his nickname is Xiao Wu. This is your sister Zhou Jiao. They also have a son named Ping’an, who’s five years old now and attending kindergarten; he’ll be back in the evening."

Lin Lishan’s introduction really delighted Zhou Jiao. Xiao San, Xiao Wu, and there’s a Da Yi; wonder when they can gather all these numbers?

Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "Brother Zhicheng, just call me Xiao Wu from now on. When did you arrive in Beijing? Why didn’t you send a telegram in advance so we could pick you up."

"Little Wu, my brother-in-law, hehe..." Miao Zhicheng looked at him and smiled embarrassedly, "My mom said not to bother you on my first visit, just wanted to see how auntie is doing, later I have to go to school."

Regarding this person, Zhang Guoqing had a pretty good impression. Very rural and rustic, but his gaze was honest; when talking to people, his eyes were clear. When he saw Zhang Guoqing come in, he was restrained but not envious.

Being recommended to study here, besides having an officer aunt, he must have his strengths in terms of character. Moreover, if he weren’t timid, just anyone entering the Big Courtyard for the first time would be quite nervous after passing through the two gate checkpoints.

Just like what his father said, the Big Courtyard has its pros and cons; entering and exiting with registration is too troublesome, bumping into an old man who is a high-ranking official could intimidate those who are timid to live here.
