Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944: Chapter 817: Arcadia

After celebrating the birthdays of Zhou Family’s father and daughter, the day we rented the carriage to go to Jingjiao, no one expected the good weather to change from clear skies into a sudden storm.

As we were about to set off, heavy rain accompanied by thunder began to pour down. Unlike the brief summer sun showers we were used to, this wasn’t going to stop any time soon.

"Dad, are we really not going?"

Zhang Guoqing nodded. There was no choice. We had previously agreed to postpone if it rained, especially with thunder booming like this. Our friends might have even turned back halfway.

Ping’an looked out disappointedly, "I was all ready to go."

"This rain won’t last for days." Zhang Guoqing took his hand and led him back inside the house, "Will you join your grandpa at the seaside during the summer break this year?"

"I’d like the whole family to go, and hopefully take me hunting. I feel I’m getting rusty without practice."

Zhang Guoqing laughed and rubbed his crew cut, "You’re still young, no rush. We can accompany you, but your mom still needs to return to work."

Hearing this from inside the room, Zhou Jiao felt moved. They didn’t get to go last year, and if they didn’t go in the next two years, they might never have the chance. "How about we take you to have some fun first, and then send the three of you to your grandma?"

Zhang Guoqing was surprised by her suggestion, but before he could voice his question, he started laughing.

She was leaning lazily against the kang, with their two younger sons pushing their fluffy little heads against her. Hearing his laughter, the two little guys started rolling around on the kang.

Such lively kids!

Zhou Jiao patted their tummies, "It’s not time yet, you know."

The two of them giggled, waving their chubby little arms like lotus roots, waving to Zhang Guoqing and Ping’an who were walking in hand in hand, occasionally blowing a funny kiss.

Zhang Guoqing helped Ping’an take off his shoes and carried him onto the kang, patting his sons’ little bottoms, "Not scared a bit by the thunder, you guys are brave enough."

"Can you bear to let the kids be away from you? If they all go with Grandpa and Grandma, and I go to military school, then you’d be the only one here." Zhang Guoqing shook his head decisively, "No way."

Before Zhou Jiao could reply, he changed the topic: "Didn’t your master always want to take you to gather herbs? How about visiting Little Mu’s hometown this time? The weather is cooler and the scenery is nice there, plus Aunt can help us look after the kids."

"The best part is it’s peaceful there. Da Yi also mentioned it to me a few days ago. Even if more people come, it’s fine; Little Mu’s family has plenty of yurts."

Ping’an’s eyes lit up. Compared to Jingjiao, he preferred going to the grasslands. There he could hunt, ride, gather herbs, and play with his beloved dog.

"Mom, let’s go."

As soon as Ping’an spoke, the two little ones chimed in together, mimicking him: "Mom, let’s go."

This instantly made the couple burst into laughter.

Zhou Jiao exchanged glances with him and nodded to the three kids, "It’s rare that you all agree. This trip is unanimously approved by the family, so we can go."

Little Ping’an jumped up with joy, "Great."

Now, seeing their brother jumping, the two little ones also started jumping, scaring the couple into quickly protecting them, but still, they fell over.

Zhang Guoqing pretended to wipe off sweat, "One day this kang will collapse."

Zhou Jiao chuckled in agreement, "Let it collapse! It’s rare to see them so happy." Saying this, she wrapped an arm around Ping’an, "This is how you should act at your age."

"There’s no need to rush to grow up. In our hearts, you’re still our baby."

Ping’an blushed shyly, burying his face into Zhou Jiao’s embrace. He knew his parents loved him the most, and wouldn’t be biased even with younger siblings around.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao exchanged a knowing smile.
