Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 963

Chapter 963: Chapter 836: You Don’t Understand!

After chatting idly with Zhao Dashan for a while, Mr. Zhang walked home slowly with his hands clasped behind his back. All the way he kept turning over in his mind why Zhao Chuan Guang had told him before leaving that he should go back to the village when he had time and have a look at Xiao Wu’s courtyard?

That courtyard is just sitting there, and Brother Zhao should also know that when the two of us old folks go back, we stay at Xiao Wu’s place. No matter how he thought about it, something felt off.

"Dad, where’s Uncle Guang?"

Mr. Zhang looked up and saw his two sons at the door. "He drove back."

"Mom even prepared some things for him to take back. How could you let him go back empty‑handed?"

Mr. Zhang stepped into the yard and chuckled. "Let Xi Zi take them over when school starts. Your Uncle Dashan has already secretly stuffed quite a lot into his car."

Once in the living room, Zhang the Second rolled his eyes around and asked, "Dad, it’s not even the weekend. Did Uncle Guang come over because he had something important to discuss with you two?"

Mr. Zhang was about to speak when he suddenly thought of Zuo Lin, and immediately shook his head. During that stretch in Beijing, he’d met the Zuo Family; they weren’t in the same camp as his Brother Zhou.

If today Zhao Chuan Guang meant to tip Zuo Lin off, there was no way it would’ve just been him and Zhao Dashan present, without inviting Zuo Lin.

He didn’t understand all these twists and turns. But he did understand that if Zhao Dashan wanted to say something, he’d speak up himself; it wasn’t his place.

"Then what did Uncle Guang come for?"

Mr. Zhang smiled. "You silly boy! Didn’t you see your Uncle Guang brought loads of stuff over? He said a few days ago Jiao Jiao called him and mentioned me and your mom. He’s here on behalf of his dry daughter to visit us."

"He came to talk to your Uncle Guang about our Xiao Wu joining the army." As Mr. Zhang spoke, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu’s almost done with his training, right?"

Zhang Guofu nodded worriedly. "A little over half a month left. I heard the military training is really hard. Don’t know if Little Brother can handle it. Did Uncle Guang mention anything?"

"Your Uncle Guang also said Xiao Wu is in some sort of closed training right now. I figure it’s tough as hell. Tired is tired, but learning more skills is always a good thing."

Zhang the Second shook his head. "I really don’t get it. Why didn’t that fool just go to work like Jiao Jiao? What’s he doing being a soldier, exhausting himself for nothing?"

Mr. Zhang looked at him with contempt. This youngest son of his is shrewd as they come; like hell this brat would guess it.

"Dad, what’s that look supposed to mean?"

Mr. Zhang chuckled twice. "You don’t get it!"

Seeing his second brother being disdained by their father, Zhang Guofu laughed heartily.

"Big Bro, you get it?"

Zhang Guofu actually had some idea; he nodded. "Uncle Zhou only has one Jiao Jiao; he won’t shortchange his own son‑in‑law. You know how much our Xiao Wu used to oppose being a soldier; it’s not like you don’t know. Now this stubborn kid is willing to serve, so it definitely won’t be bad."

"Of course I understand that logic. I’m just afraid that fool will act on impulse..." Zhang the Second stopped halfway through his sentence. He almost forgot their parents would worry.

Zhang Guofu secretly shot him a glare, then grinned at Mr. Zhang. "With a smart guy like Uncle Zhou around, plus Jiao Jiao by his side, nothing will happen to Xiao Wu."

Unlike Zhang the Second, Mr. Zhang wasn’t worried at all about the path Zhang Guoqing had chosen. He had full confidence in his shrewd youngest son.

If there were no benefits, that youngest son of his wouldn’t have agreed. And if it was life‑threatening, never mind Brother Zhou, even his own sharp‑tongued daughter‑in‑law wouldn’t have agreed.

What he was fretting about now was why Brother Zhao, Zhao Chuan Guang, wanted him to go back to the village and have a look. Look at what? Their household registration wasn’t even with the production team anymore; there was only that little courtyard left.

If something happened to someone, it shouldn’t implicate their family... Wait, no, his big brother and little brother were still in the village... account checking...
