Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1185

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1058: Really Dumb?

Mr. Zhang is indeed very busy.

He still goes out for a stroll during these freezing days.

Mother Zhang not only noticed this, but also saw him coming back every time in a very good mood, holding his belly.

If she hadn’t been living with this crazy old man for most of her life, she would really have to wonder if he had some widow outside.

Unfortunately, for several days in a row, there was a constant stream of people visiting...

But she wasn’t afraid, she just didn’t believe she couldn’t catch the fox’s tail!

"Mom, how about I knit you a pair of shoes?"

"No need, you should go back early to see your grandson."

"Today the child’s grandma is here, I came to chat with you two specially."

Mother Zhang never found her eldest daughter so annoying!

—How can she not read people’s expressions?

"Are you a good mother-in-law? Oh, your in-laws are here and you don’t entertain them, you come back to your mom’s place, do you know what people will think? Go back soon!"

Zhang Meili smiled indifferently, "What are you talking about? My in-laws are great, they live not far away, they can’t possibly not know what kind of person I am."

"The better the relationship, the more you have to be considerate. Alright, you go back, I want to take a nap."

"Can I take the shoe pattern?"

"Take it, take it..."

Not just the shoe pattern, even if you took the shoes, it wouldn’t make Mother Zhang blink. In a couple of hours, the old man would be back, and she was waiting to catch the tail!

Zhang Meili suspiciously looked at her, "Mom, are you sure you’re not sick or anything?"

"Your health isn’t as good as mine! I’m just a bit tired from getting up too early today. Don’t bother me, Mai Sui just checked my pulse and your dad’s yesterday, we’re fine."

Zhang Meili had confidence in her niece, and after hearing this, she nodded with a smile, not forgetting to check her mom’s complexion while tucking her in and giving some more reminders.

Mother Zhang watched her leave, and only when she heard the gate open and close outside did she let out a deep breath.

Her eldest daughter was getting more and more nagging with age!

So on this day, as Mr. Zhang happily returned from the west side of the city, he unexpectedly found his wife bundled up like a bear, sitting on a small bench staring hard at him.

He was so startled that he quickly pulled off his mask and scarf to show his face, "Honey, what’s wrong? Who upset you and made you angry?"

Actually, Mother Zhang hadn’t been sitting there for long, and she wasn’t really planning to turn into an ice cube. But when she heard the familiar footsteps outside, she played along specially for him.

But how could she say that out loud?

She couldn’t give the old man any excuse to make fun of her for being immature!

Mr. Zhang saw she was so frozen she couldn’t speak and was just nodding dumbly, looking like a bear in the mountains. He didn’t care about anything else and pulled her into the house.

(Are you sure she wasn’t wrapped up too tight to speak?)

"Honey, do you know who I am?"

Mr. Zhang kept asking incoherently, "Are you cold? Let me take off your coat, don’t be afraid, do you know who I am?"

Mother Zhang was stunned by this, thinking the silly old man thought she was daft. Who’s daft? Your whole family’s daft... no, just you!

"Oh, it’s him, he’s trustworthy."

Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he wasn’t trustworthy, would he have been going out all these days? Did she really think these things were easy to collect now?

He figured the good stuff had all been scooped up by those jerks.

What a pity!

Meanwhile, in a compound in Beijing, the Ping’an Brothers who were busy sorting and organizing, sneezed violently, exchanged glances and mumbled to each other: "It’s really dirty!"

One of them grumbled, "We need to buy masks!"

Wu rolled his eyes, and gritted his teeth saying: "Someone must be cursing us, damn it!"

—Yes, you guessed right!

But alas, there’s no prize!

Mother Zhang remained silent for a while, and cautioning her husband, said, "Still, be careful, you never know when a new directive might suddenly come out."

"This time it shouldn’t matter. A few days ago I asked Brother Dashan, he said things have changed, as long as it’s low-key, there shouldn’t be problems. Even Yuanyuan mentioned last week that people in the provincial city are already wearing gold and silver in the streets. It’s really different now!"

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something, Brother Dashan might move to the provincial city after the New Year. Don’t mention it to anyone yet, it seems even Zuo Lin is being transferred."

"Ah? Are they really leaving this time? Well, they should have been promoted by now. I heard from the second one years ago that they didn’t want to leave."

Mr. Zhang smiled and said no more.

Official matters are complicated, he neither understood nor cared to.
