Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Chapter 708: People Like This Are Everywhere

Zhou Jiao quickly wiped her face, then switched into a long-sleeve shirt with a white base and light blue flowers, paired it with dark blue work pants, and braided her long hair, folding it over.

When she came out, Qiao Na looked at her own outfit she had just changed into and pouted at Zhou Jiao, "Jiao Jiao, could you put a few patches on mine too?"

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at her and laughed, "Stop playing around, why patch it if it’s not torn?"

Qiao Na mumbled, "Is it the same though?"

Seeing her like this, Zhou Jiao chuckled, pulling her along with the other two back to the room. She really couldn’t understand why every time she wore an outfit, it would make others envious. To think she had been wearing this one for two whole years already, it made her feel sorry for herself. Returning to Beijing was actually worse than being at home.

Starting the year before last, that "priceless" sheepskin coat of hers had been hidden at home, let alone all sorts of fur coats in her space. Those days wrapped in a heavy military coat at school were enough for her.

But life had to go on... Apart from sweaters that wouldn’t draw much attention, nothing could be taken out now to avoid trouble.

She had just thought about taking this time to knit a few more sweaters for her family, but unexpectedly Qiao Na was already soliciting their opinions. This girl was a drama queen!

"...Maybe there is some yarn here that doesn’t require coupons, should we go check it out? Think about how to entertain ourselves outside?"

Zhou Jiao smiled silently, waiting for the opinions of the other two. She didn’t mind and went with the flow. Before coming, she had brought two luggage bags, plenty of ways to cover up.

"Didn’t you just say you were broke?"

"Oh my, that’s just my backup money. Let’s go check the prices here. If it’s cheaper than in Beijing, let the family send money over."

One of the girls named Xie Fang nodded, "Sounds good, I need to stock up on some toilet paper too."

Without objections, Zhou Jiao followed them back to the room to hang up the wet clothes, and then together they went to find Da Yi and the counselor. As expected, female students applying were all approved.

Zhou Jiao knowingly observed the counselor’s unnatural expression. Still too young! How his wife managed to win him over, she couldn’t fathom. According to the insider gossip, he was formidable back then, breaking through and winning the beauty.

"Write down what you need on a paper, and I’ll have someone buy it."

As soon as the counselor said this, the female students, afraid of being implicated, quickly backed away and ran off.

As the hostel was in the city, with department stores and post offices nearby, the teachers felt comfortable letting them go out, although the return time was tightly controlled.

Zhou Jiao passed by the post office, standing there to let them go ahead to the mall; she would catch up with them later.

"Let’s go together. I need to send peace-of-mind to my family too."

Zhou Jiao glanced at Xie Fang and nodded, agreeing. This time, other than Qiao Na, the family backgrounds of the four were pretty good. If she could think of sending a telegram, so could they!

To make up for her son’s regrets, Zhou Jiao especially sent a telegram addressed to little Zhang Mingxuan. She also took out four letters she had written on the train, adding a few lines about the upcoming schedule.

When writing to Zhou Xiaozheng, she specially included a code on it, conveying a message hinting something found. As for what was found, there was no need to say; both father and daughter understood each other well.
