Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 716 - 591: She Really Came Home

"You know my temperament, no need to worry!" Zhou Jiao looked at him knowingly, and smiled at him. They’ve been married for so many years, she knows what he’s worried about. But to be honest, she didn’t take it to heart. The damned are dead, even the air they’re breathing has improved, it’s something worth celebrating.

As for her mom, that sterilization drug really didn’t cause her any emotional fluctuation. Over the past few years, she has constantly been conditioning her mom’s body, but still no pregnancy, Zhou Jiao has long given up.

The culprit is dead, can’t flog a corpse, right? As for her mom’s suicide attempt, she is speechless, not even wanting to say a word. Stupid beyond saving, if she had the heart to die, why not take revenge first?

Zhang Guoqing smiled at the sight, reminding her intentionally, "Dad let you go out to avoid these things."

Zhou Jiao suddenly understood, gave him a smile. Her dad seems to have been quietly planning for a long time. Knowing her father well, Zhou Jiao agrees with her dad’s approach. It’s better to clear away these people!

At this moment, the couple got onto the main road, and some words were hard to say. The couple acted a bit intimately, causing some old women to look at them with suspicious eyes, almost stepping forward to question.

Zhang Guoqing worriedly looked at his wife’s feet, looking around, disappointedly thinking that nowadays, let alone taxis, there’s not even a tricycle in the busy area.

"You go ahead and take the bus, I’ll be right there."

"I’m not tired, I still want to walk with you."

"Good girl, be good. I’ll tie myself with a rope, I might even get home before you."

Zhou Jiao looked at the back seat, thinking it through, it’s true, no need for them both to walk home like fools, stepping forward to help Zhang Guoqing steady the bike so he could move.

"Are all these bags gifts? Why do I smell a strong chocolate aroma? Wait... there’s also a strong milk smell... there’s even a wine bottle... I know where you went."

Looking at him touching the bag from a distance, Zhou Jiao could guess it, and wasn’t surprised at all. With his sense of smell and intelligence, this little insight isn’t difficult for him.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you to get on the bus, the son must be waiting anxiously at home."

Thinking of the child, Zhou Jiao couldn’t care about anything else, squeezed onto the bus, watching the car move, and looked at Zhang Guoqing who was following closely behind, both angry and amused... this man!

She got off at the Big Courtyard stop, looking at the man far away who rode over all sweaty but still smiling, she foolishly laughed along. How lucky she is to have a lover like this.

Zhang Guoqing rode up to her, looked at her shoes, not being guessed was fortunate. He turned around looking ahead, smiled, "Hurry in. It’s just after work, I think Dad and them must be eagerly waiting."

"Alright."

"You don’t realize how much Dad misses you, even if he doesn’t say it. Every time he eats and sees a dish you like, his chopsticks subconsciously turn."

Zhou Jiao smiled and sighed, "I miss you all too..."

Entering the Big Courtyard, the couple couldn’t afford to pour out their hearts.

On that short path, they met wave after wave of acquaintances, exchanging greetings all the way down, regardless of what thoughts everyone held, compared to those blonde foreigners, everything made Zhou Jiao feel intimately familiar.

She truly came home.

Not yet home, her heart kept pounding. Turning at the alley corner, seeing three familiar figures made her pause, looking at her son, her eyes gradually grew red, the child has grown!

"Mom..."

Ping’an ran forward quickly, rushing into Zhou Jiao’s arms.

Zhou Jiao hugged her son tightly, took a breath, suppressing her sadness, "Mommy missed the baby..."

Ping’an hugged her neck, burst into tears, wiping his eyes as he said, "Mom, why did it take you so long to come back, I’ve been waiting for so long, I thought you didn’t want me anymore, I waited daily for you to come home obediently..."

Zhou Jiao helped him wipe his tears, kissed him, "Mommy won’t leave you again. Good son, let’s not cry, let’s go find Grandpa."

"You mean it!"

"Yes."

Zhou Jiao hugged him, ran forward quickly, seeing her dad made her want to cry, "Dad, you’ve lost weight? Mom too."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his approaching daughter, nodded with satisfaction. Her complexion is good, seems she didn’t suffer outside.

Listening to the home’s treasure, he couldn’t help but laugh, rubbing her head, "Let’s talk after we get home."

Zhang Guoqing watched as his father-in-law embraced his wife and son and walked away, not even glancing at himself and mother-in-law, knew it would be this way!

Seeing this, he could only shake his head with a helpless smile.

"You went to pick up Jiao Jiao? Why didn’t you let Xiao Wang take you there? How can you silly child foolishly wait all afternoon, aren’t you afraid of heatstroke..."

Zhang Guoqing listened to his mother-in-law’s nagging, oh, really wants to cry out of gratitude, finally someone cares about him.

"...Mom, let me help you carry a bag..."

Zhang Guoqing quickly declined, "Not heavy, I can manage. Mom, let’s hurry up, Jiao Jiao hasn’t eaten yet."

"Right... right... Look at my memory, let’s hurry... Remember to drink water before taking a shower..."

Amid Lin Lishan’s chatter, they finally entered the house, Zhang Guoqing placed the bag in the living room, carried the sack into the kitchen, and began to take things out one by one.

By this time even Aunt Chen had gone over to see his wife, looks like they gathered in the living room to chat, wait for Old Mrs. Cheng to return home tomorrow, along with the little sister-in-law’s family, wanting to spend a world for two with his wife, still has a way to go.

Inside the living room, Ping’an tightly held Zhou Jiao’s neck, unwilling to move, his little mouth began to chatter about what he had done during this time.

Zhou Jiao listened attentively, occasionally sighing, "Really?... So awesome?... Hmm... Well done!... You did great, no mistake!"

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled watching the mother and son, nodding occasionally in agreement with Ping’an.

Lin Lishan and Aunt Chen on the side listened and laughed.

Finally, Ping’an finished his story, Zhou Jiao patted him, "We’ll talk more tonight, let’s see what gifts Mommy brought back?"

Ping’an was satisfied, he was still Mommy’s favorite baby. Gave Zhou Jiao a bright smile, got off her lap and opened the luggage, taking things out one by one.

Zhou Jiao finally had time to chat with her dad, moved to his side, reaching out to first check his pulse, after a while, she nodded with a smile, "Okay, a bit tired."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head, "First take care of yourself, look at the blood in your eyes. Eat dinner and rest first, we’ll talk tomorrow."

"No way, I have lots to tell you, even if you tell me to sleep, I won’t be able to. Dad, don’t you want to hear how I fared outside?"

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled broadly, enjoying his daughter holding his arm and acting coy, nodded with a smile.

Ping’an by the tea table observed the items, quickly picked out a box of chocolates, unwrapped it, offered the chocolate to Aunt Chen, "Grandma Chen, try it, ask me for more if it runs out."

Aunt Chen shook her hand repeatedly, "You eat it yourself."

"Don’t be polite, take it. My mom definitely bought your share."

Zhou Jiao laughed, "Aunt, take it, we don’t need to be polite. Not just you, even Brother Wang, I prepared for all, not much, just a token."

Aunt Chen chuckled, shaking her head, "Enough, I’ll take it. The dishes are almost ready, we can eat soon. I’ll go check if the soup is simmered."

Ping’an watched her leave, continued taking out the remaining stuff from the luggage, spoke, "Mom, are these things meant to be gifted? Are they very expensive?"

Zhou Jiao smiled at him, nodded.

"Can’t buy the ones without boxes?"

The little boy finished speaking, felt embarrassed and stuck out his tongue, explaining, "I’m not stingy. Grandpa of Little Wei is a diplomat. Last time he took a box of chocolates to class, two aunties secretly said his family had problems."

Zhou Jiao interestedly looked at him, encouraging him to continue speaking.

Ping’an glanced at his grandpa, seeing him nod, he smiled slyly and tattled, "Aunties said neither the US nor the Soviet are good people, can’t use their stuff."

Zhou Jiao thoughtfully looked at the items on the tea table, spoke to the child, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"Mommy, you’re so smart!" Saying that, Ping’an re-packed the items into the bags, carried two luggage bags with both hands, and walked to his little room.
