Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849: Chapter 722: Zhou Family Genealogy

In the cold days of December, the goose-feather snow in Beijing had been falling for a whole week, and each time Zhou Jiao walked, the snow reached up to her calves, making it difficult for her to lift her feet.

Seeing Zhang Guoqing, she began to long eagerly for her father and son. But starting the next day, along with the snow mixed with rain, the final exams also commenced.

Helpless, Zhou Jiao could only call home. Listening to her son sensibly ask her to come home after finishing her exams, she couldn’t help but shed tears for a moment.

A week later, after finishing the final exams, her studies for this semester were also concluded. Zhou Jiao couldn’t care less about the experimental topics the professor mentioned, she let him fuss all he wanted, she was going to spend time with her son first.

Escorted by Zhang Guoqing to the small train, after two months, she returned home. She had left in the autumn, but now returned in the heart of winter.

A small figure at the gate of the Big Courtyard, upon seeing Zhou Jiao, excitedly rushed forward, "Mom, why did you stay away for so long?"

Zhou Jiao squatted down and gave him a hard kiss, "Missed mom so much. Every night when I couldn’t sleep, I’d read the letters from my baby. How did you come here alone?"

"Grandma Chen is buying soy sauce at the service store, I stayed with the uncle at the gate so I’m not worried about bad people."

Zhou Jiao obviously understood her son’s little thoughts and touched his face, which was cold. She showed her credentials to the young guard at the gate, thanked him, and then ran home carrying her child.

"Mom, is it because dad didn’t study well and was kept at school?"

Zhou Jiao laughed heartily, "Yes! Ask him about it when he gets back."

"Mom, I’ll tell you a secret. Dad always came home even during his internship. I told him to read books, and he said he already read them."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. Grandpa wrote a lot of letters, and uncle and others also wrote. Since you weren’t home, dad took me to send two packages to grandma and grandpa."

"Oh."

"Grandma prepared everything. Dad said before leaving he had arranged everything for grandma and grandpa, but grandma said it was her token of love, a different matter."

Zhou Jiao smiled and patted him, "You just watch, don’t worry about how adults arrange things. How’s grandpa’s health lately? Any colds?"

"No. I have Grandma Chen stew something for grandpa and them every day as a night snack. However, grandpa often disobeys and stays up late, he doesn’t listen even when I tell him."

"Oh, mom, grandma took me to visit that great grandpa." Ping’an said, blinking his eyes towards her.

Zhou Jiao understood, "Grandpa Lin?"

"Mom, you’re so smart. Grandpa approved, and grandma took me over, bringing along two cans of meat, two jars of canned fruit, two bottles of liquor, and a big box of ox tongue. That great grandpa cried sadly when he saw grandma, and later grandma cried too."

"What did grandpa say?"

Ping’an furrowed his brows in confusion, "When I told grandpa after returning, he didn’t say anything, just sighed. Later, grandma never went again to see that great grandpa. I don’t understand what it means."

Zhou Jiao nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it’s too complicated. I don’t understand it either."

Ping’an hugged his mother’s neck tightly, burying his head in her arms, giggling.

Approaching the house, Ping’an whispered in her ear, "That great grandpa also mentioned you, asking what you guys were busy with and if you could find time to visit."

Zhou Jiao patted his butt, "Mom got it. We’ll talk about it when there’s time. Now all of the time is ours. I heard from your dad you still have a lot of snacks left, why not eat them? Don’t like them?"
