Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821: Chapter 694: This Time His Uncle-in-Law Was Praising Him

In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao prepared several hot dishes her dad likes, and just as she finished, she happily ran outside: "Aunt, I’m going to pick up my dad."

"Slow down! Don’t fall."

Before Zhou Xiaozheng even stepped through the door, he saw his beloved daughter sprinting over, "Cooking again? What delicious dishes do we have today? Are they going to be warm?"

Zhou Jiao playfully blew her bangs, holding her dad’s arm, "All dishes we both like, but unfortunately, we have guests, so we can’t cook too much."

"I heard from your mom that the Miao family is coming?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jiao showed no interest in mentioning outsiders, "Dad, which way did you come from? Is brother going to pick up Ping’an again and perhaps you too?"

"I still took the old route. Maybe the kindergarten had some delays." Zhou Xiaozheng sniffed the aroma as he walked, "My daughter is impressive, just smelling it makes me want to eat."

Zhou Jiao laughed heartily.

"Tomorrow’s the registration day?" Zhou Xiaozheng saw her nod, "Really tough. If you truly don’t want to go, just take a leave. Anyway, studying this major won’t be useful. A few units specifically called to have you work for them recently, but I pushed it to after graduation."

Zhou Jiao softly laughed, "Dad, is this okay? You should encourage me to strive forward, take bold steps."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head, "Dad only wishes for you to be safe all your life, and to be happy. The more outstanding you are, the harder life gets, with bigger responsibilities."

Zhou Jiao wrinkled her nose, "Seems like you want me in that department? Spending all day with data, aren’t you afraid I’ll go bald?"

"Even if my daughter is bald, she’s still the prettiest bald-headed girl!"

The father and daughter entered the living room.

Lin Lishan had already prepared a change of clothes, saw the father and daughter, and said with a smile, "Chat more, tomorrow when you return to school your dad will be gloomy again."

"If Ping’an is here, he’d surely say why don’t you think about me? You don’t love me anymore, mom."

Lin Lishan patted her forehead, "Silly!"

When Zhou Xiaozheng finished showering and came out, Zhang Guoqing held his son and came back together with Miao Zhicheng.

Feeling a chill down his spine from Zhou Xiaozheng’s glance, Miao Zhicheng gritted his teeth and shouted "Uncle," then returned to the nervous unease he had when he first entered the house.

"Mm, drop by whenever you have time."

Miao Zhicheng controlled his trembling legs, glanced at him quickly, and indeed didn’t see wrong. So his cousin takes after her father; it would be better if he didn’t keep a stern face.

Zhou Jiao found it amusing watching the two of them. Her dad’s mischievous side came out, and no one could stop that.

"Alright."

Zhou Xiaozheng worried this child might faint, seeing him mixing up his movements. He smirked and spoke gently, "If you encounter difficulties at school, discuss with Xiao Wu."

Better not smile; why does it make me feel uneasy? Bravely, Miao Zhicheng really wanted to say ’Uncle, please stop smiling,’ but instead, he said, "Uncle, I understand."

Zhang Guoqing reckoned this child got scared, pulled him toward the table, "Don’t worry, my dad is easy to get along with."

Miao Zhicheng seized the moment when Zhou Xiaozheng chatted quietly with Zhou Jiao to mumble to himself, "Xiao Wu, my mom’s a worrywart. When Uncle keeps a stern face back home, none of those old ladies dare approach, right? This is authority, isn’t it?"

Zhang Guoqing jokingly replied, "Ask him yourself, you might as well close your eyes and ask."

"You’re just teasing me!"

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at the two, realizing the child truly matches the investigation results, which was reassuring. Spending some money wasn’t a concern; if it dragged with lots of trouble, he wouldn’t hesitate to resolve it.
