Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886: Chapter 759: Coping and Countermeasures

On the way, Zhou Xiaozheng acted completely normal, just like any other day, and with Ping’an adding some fun, the atmosphere in the car was warm and festive.

Unlike usual, after lunch, when Zhang Guoqing settled his wife and son, the father-in-law and son-in-law left the house in mutual understanding.

In the office, Zhou Xiaozheng sat quietly, waiting for his son-in-law to arrive.

"Chief, there’s a meeting at three in the afternoon."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded upon hearing this, "We’ll leave at 2:40. Let me handle some other matters first."

Secretary Chen saw him lower his head to review some documents after speaking and quietly left, closing the door.

When Zhang Guoqing arrived, he saw his father-in-law with furrowed brows, a vacant look in his eyes, idly spinning a pen between his fingers.

His heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale instantly. He quickly closed the door and hurried to the desk, staring unblinkingly at his father-in-law.

"Is Jiao Jiao asleep?"

Zhang Guoqing, tense, fingers digging into his palms, nodded with difficulty, finding himself unable to speak or make a sound.

Zhou Xiaozheng pointed to an empty seat ahead, seeing no response, said in a deep voice, "Why panic, calm down!"

He suddenly remembered he wasn’t much better in front of Doctor Hu.

It’s about Zhou Jiao’s safety. How could Zhang Guoqing stay calm? Standing there, Zhang Guoqing tightly closed his eyes, "Dad, go ahead, I can take it."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his son-in-law’s pale face, feeling both angry and amused. He casually picked up a document and knocked it against Zhang Guoqing’s head.

Zhang Guoqing was startled, immediately opening his eyes, "Is it serious?"

"You’re the serious one!" Zhou Xiaozheng retorted angrily, then felt a bit embarrassed, clearing his throat.

Zhang Guoqing didn’t care about these words; he thought earlier that Zhou Jiao was in danger, and his father-in-law was venting at him. Now, observing his father-in-law’s expression again, it didn’t seem to be what he thought, so he relaxed, slumping into a chair.

"Hmph!" Zhou Xiaozheng, feeling better after seeing his son-in-law’s flustered look, glanced at the time on his watch and decided not to keep him in suspense, "There’s no danger to Jiao Jiao for now; she’s just pregnant with twins."

Twins? Zhang Guoqing looked at his father-in-law reproachfully, "Dad, you almost scared me to death! You can’t scare me like that anymore, where will you find such a good son-in-law like me?"

Thick-skinned! Thinks he’s Ping’an or something?

Zhou Xiaozheng’s eyes showed a hint of amusement as he gave him a sidelong glance.

"Dad, did you forget my big brother’s family has twins, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You?" Zhang Guoqing said with a smile, "My mother said the Zhang Family has a heritage of twins, so I’ve consulted many doctors just in case, and even went back a few years ago to find the midwife from back then."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng was genuinely touched. He decided that, considering how much this silly boy cared for his Jiao Jiao, he wouldn’t make things difficult for him in the future.

"And my cousin Qingfeng’s family has dragon and phoenix twins. They didn’t have much nutrition back then, and now both sisters-in-law are as strong as bulls." Zhang Guoqing became more animated.

"Really no problem?"

Zhang Guoqing couldn’t guarantee it, but seeing his father-in-law’s worried eyes, he nodded seriously, "There’ll be no problem! That midwife is quite skilled; even Ping’an was delivered by her. I originally planned to invite her over when Jiao Jiao hits eight months, along with Doctor Lin as an added assurance."

"Before my mother went back this time, I prepared a gift for her, intending to have her come ahead of time. Seems like I have to speed this up."
