Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893: Chapter 766: Being Parents-in-Law

The farming hustle and bustle here in Beijing is lively with the involvement of the old mischief Doctor Hu and the little genius Ping’an. Coupled with favorable weather this year, it’s another bountiful harvest, and the village is filled with laughter and joy.

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard far away in the Northeast County, Zhang Guoqing’s siblings have gathered after work, except for Zhang Guoqing’s family.

In the living room, Mr. Zhang silently smokes a long pipe, while Mother Zhang picks up a letter from the cabinet and hands it to her youngest daughter, Zhang Meili, asking her to read it aloud to everyone.

As Zhang Meili softly finishes reading a letter from Zhang Guoqing. In the letter, her brother mentions Jiao Jiao is expecting twins and plans to have his parents take the village midwife to Beijing in May or June.

The four couples present paused, then burst into laughter, joyfully discussing this great news.

Zhang the Second laughed first and said, "Our Little Five Elements always seeks speed in everything. It’s been many years since we’ve had such great news apart from Little Zuo You."

Beside him, Zhang Meili gave him a slap, "Talking nonsense again."

After speaking, she glanced at Mother Zhang, "Mom, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find Auntie, we should greet her first and let her prepare."

Zhang Chunming tugged at his wife’s hand, "Don’t rush. Let’s see what Dad and Mom say first."

Zhang Meili immediately looked at Mr. Zhang.

Zhang the Second glanced at everyone and scratched his head. What was his dad thinking? "Dad?"

Mr. Zhang finished his last puff, knocked the long pipe, and with no hint of joy on his face, looked at his children. He was secretly worried, "Have you ever considered the dangers for Jiao Jiao?"

Zhang Meili instinctively refuted, "That’s Beijing, no need to worry. Back when sister-in-law was pregnant with Little Zuo You, everything went smoothly!"

Mother Zhang looked at her silent husband and replied, "Jiao Jiao is so petite, how can it be the same? Just seeing your sister-in-law with that big belly, I was on edge for months."

Zhang Meili quickly tugged at her mother’s sleeve stealthily. Her mother really didn’t know how to talk, saying this publicly would make her sister-in-law uncomfortable.

Mother Zhang paused and glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, "Little Five sent the letter so early, probably wanting your Auntie to go to Beijing. I guess Jiao Jiao’s pregnancy isn’t going well, and your father and I are worried..."

Huang Cuilan advised from across, "Mom, Jiao Jiao endured the tough times of giving birth to Ping’an, there won’t be any problems. If you’re not assured, go to Beijing early with Dad, take care of Jiao Jiao like I did when pregnant with Zuo You brothers, there won’t be any issue. After all, Beijing is the capital."

Zhang Meili nodded in agreement. True, in the village one might worry, but in the big city, as long as there’s no lack of money, giving birth isn’t that big of a deal.

Zhang the Second whispered in his wife’s ear, "Back then did sister-in-law face any danger?"

Lin Juhua rolled her eyes at him, how do you answer that? Let alone twins, even a single pregnancy can be perilous. If Jiao Jiao weren’t serious, would Little Five have sent a letter asking for help?

"Mom, there’s not much to think about. If anything happens at home, entrust it to us. You and Dad should take people and go early, distant mountains and rivers make talking useless until you see them face to face."

Zhang the Second felt his wife’s advice was sound and quickly added, "Mom, I’ll go to the village with you. I’ll talk to Uncle, if he knows Little Five asked Auntie, he’ll surely agree."
