Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 922

Chapter 922: Chapter 795: Comforting the Wife

Under the soft orange light, Zhou Jiao sat in the baby’s room with her arms crossed and knees bent, watching Aunt Sun methodically preparing formula, changing diapers, and feeding the baby...

Next to her, Little Ping’an was mimicking her posture, cuddled up beside her. After a moment, he asked softly, "Mom, you really miss Liu Yiwu and May 1st, don’t you?"

Zhou Jiao replied wistfully, "I miss all three of you. Your little brothers are the most pitiful, I used to be with you 24/7."

"I’ll accompany the little brothers for mom."

"Alright, but I’ll come back to be with you whenever I can in the evenings. Once I start working, I’ll have time to watch you all grow up."

Aunt Sun set the kids down and, listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but smile and wave at them.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao stood up, took Ping’an’s hand, and quietly approached. The children were already peacefully asleep. She felt a pang of loss as she gazed at the sleeping pair.

"Mom, take me to sleep."

Fortunately, there was still one who needed her, Zhou Jiao nodded happily, amused by her own sentimentality. If the kids had really kicked up a fuss and cried, could she still go to school peacefully?

"Mom, leave my room door open so I can hear if the little brothers cry," Ping’an, lying on his bed, reminded again, worried.

"Okay. Once you fall asleep, I’ll leave." Zhou Jiao tapped her son’s nose, playfully. Just this little lazy pig, once asleep, wouldn’t wake even in a storm, let alone hear a cry.

At the bedside, Zhou Jiao hummed a tune softly, gently patting her son, while her mind wandered through a myriad of random thoughts. Years of habits felt so natural that even the sensitive little guy hadn’t noticed she was absent-minded.

Compared to the matters of the Liang Family, her biggest worry now was the two younger sons. Less than three months old, who knows if they’ll be different from others?

Having the experience of Ping’an before, Zhou Jiao really couldn’t abandon the children and go to work. Isn’t her effort and motivation all for the family’s peace?

Oh... life, truly full of choices.

After sighing, she looked at her son who fell asleep at the same time each night, and Zhou Jiao smiled contentedly. Hopefully, the two younger ones would be as easy as their big brother.

Leaving Ping’an’s room, she saw Aunt Sun resting in the next room. Zhou Jiao quietly closed her door. Walking out to the living room, the family hadn’t returned yet.

For a moment, she didn’t want to enter the rooms, standing alone in the yard looking up at the sky.

Zhang Guoqing, taken to a movie by his friends, watched the black-and-white images on the screen and listened to the lively conversations around. Despite the lively atmosphere, he felt lonely.

When the plot reached its most exciting moment, the room gradually quieted down. He found an excuse, slipped out, and hurried away.

Upon entering the house, he saw Zhou Jiao looking up at the sky, teasingly asking, "Will tomorrow be a sunny day?"

"Is the movie over? How come I didn’t hear any noise?"

"They’re still in the hall over there." Zhang Guoqing put an arm around her shoulder, "Are the kids asleep?"

Zhou Jiao smiled, knowing he had snuck back, and nodded.

"Would you like to go for a walk? Tonight the streets are quiet with few pedestrians."

This suggestion was a great idea!

Closing the yard gate, the couple walked aimlessly along the path to the small park. Under the moonlight, crickets and frogs played a nocturnal symphony.
