Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space

Chapter 1057 - 930: Didn’t You Play Any Tricks?

"Mom, these days be careful of the kids from next door Old Zhou Family. I can tell they want to cozy up to us. They even asked if our younger brother’s surname is Zhou.""So annoying. Liu Yi said two of us three brothers have different surnames. Let them stop trying shamelessly to build connections, or else we’ll drag them to a fight."

Her son was definitely not the kind to accept things meekly. Zhou Jiao led him while walking, and asked, "Didn’t you guys mess around?"

Ping’an chuckled, "Liu Yi dropped a cloth ticket, and it ended up in someone’s pocket. Liu Yi ended up punching them so hard their nose bled. Originally, Wu Yi was supposed to teach the team kids some children’s songs, but I stopped him; the intention was too obvious. If we’re too aggressive, we’ll end up losing more than we gain."

"Exactly, in everything you do, preserving yourself is the best strategy. You guys are like jade, why bother with those old broken tiles yourself? Sometimes, just one attitude from you will naturally have others stand up for you. You don’t need to worry, they won’t dare come to me."

Ping’an blinked his eyes, "All those old folks are gone; even the people in Zhou Family Village said that any grudges between our families are buried with them. Mom, are you sure they won’t come over?"

The past, how long has it been since it was stirred in memory? Those people, those things feel distant, yet whenever recalled, seem very close.

Zhou Jiao took out the fishing net, absent-mindedly tidying up as she softly said, "Those people indirectly whisper around you, what they desire is your generation, or perhaps, your next generation for positive ties in the future.

Mom, even Zhou Lidong and others know well how they oppressed me. My abstaining from action is already very gracious. They understand my temper well; if they continue to provoke, I can’t tolerate sand in my eye."

After hearing, Ping’an quietly squatted there thinking. He somewhat understood now. Another point his mom didn’t mention is that those people are also testing their family’s stance through the three brothers.

"Alright, stop thinking about this nonsense. If something really bothers you, just act directly. Today’s mission is to have fun. Do you think you’ve missed anything?"

Ping’an burst out laughing; yes, his mom was right. Once his family leaves, if those people have any other schemes, who has the time to care? Just like Grandpa said, ignoring can also be a strategy.

"Mom, do you remember taking me out for a ride on the sidecar? I told my brothers, and they’re so envious. But we know the outside isn’t the same as before, so when we grow up, my brothers and I will drive and take you and dad out for a spin."

"I look forward to that day."

"Very soon!" Ping’an’s smile grew brighter with reminiscence, "And going to the Black Market, just a pity it’s too dangerous now. Otherwise, I really want you and dad to take me there again."

Hmm, now there are too many Red Guards. Every street corner has patrol teams. Zhou Jiao wouldn’t dare take her sons to the Black Market to play.

Over there, Zhang Guoqing was teaching his sons along the way. When they reached a safe spot, he let his two younger sons shoot a few arrows at the pheasants and silly deer between Lin Zi.

As hours passed, he couldn’t help but believe; today it seemed impossible to encounter any dangerous big beasts, either because of Fubao’s presence or Daqing Mountain had become non-threatening.

Of course, he didn’t plan to bring much meat back with two sons, but they couldn’t miss the chance to see at least, right? Hesitating whether to go further up the mountain...

"Dad, you said it’s dangerous, but I don’t see anything happening."

"Yes, brother even said there’d be a wolf pack, howl... howl..."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and patted his son in his arms, "Little rascal! That’s just our good luck. Keep howling, and wolves will really come."

"Dad, where’s the tiger you mentioned?"

Zhang Guoqing pointed afar, "In the deep mountains, that’s the primal forest."

Twins understood well from books what primal forests represented and knew those places were not to be visited; they didn’t ask to tour.

"Are you hungry, want to find mom?"

Liu Yi scratched his head, "I want to hunt big game."

"Alright, even if you do hunt, I couldn’t take it away. We’ll be here for several days, and I’ll take you up the mountain daily. Don’t think about making a huge catch immediately, but focus on honing your listening skills these days."

On this point, Zhang Guoqing felt truly proud.

His three sons inherited their parents’ best genes—strong physical power, excellent memory, great hearing ability, not to mention that unparalleled luck.

These are his kids!

Haha, can’t say, can’t say. What kind of wives will match up to his children in the future? Quite a headache indeed. With sons too outstanding, even fathers find it challenging.

Secretly thrilled, Zhang Guoqing was bursting with energy. As soon as his sons wanted to find their mom and brother, he quickly increased his pace, definitely needing to brag a few lines to his wife.

Seeing them carrying a few chickens back, Zhou Jiao wasn’t surprised. Nothing is more important than their safety. It’s already noon; they hadn’t planned to return so early.

The mountain breeze blew, bringing bursts of cool air. The wooden cabin Grandpa Zhang built was crafted with some technique, still sturdy after all these years.

Liu Yi, being very clever, immediately spoke up upon sensing his mom’s gaze over the "spoils of war," "Mom, dad didn’t make a move just now."

"Is that so? Then it must be your brothers’ victory trophies. Amazing! My sons are just so capable. Later, without your dad, with you three brothers, I’ll have meat to eat."

Being praised like that by Zhou Jiao, the two brothers blushed and nodded excitedly, each patting their chests to assure, "Mom, you’ll see. I’ll hunt lots and lots of meat for you."

"Mom, we’ll also earn heaps of money for you to spend."

Zhou Jiao let out a joyful laugh. What sounds are more delightful than sons’ innocent words? "Alright, mom thanks you, sons. Today I’ll treat you to a big meal."

"Mom, wait for us; we’ll take a bath and come right back. Let me tell you how fun it is inside. Dad worried about danger, but too bad you didn’t go. If I knew, I’d have taken you."

"No way, mom can’t go; dad said we were just lucky today." Liu Yi immediately waved his hand to stop once his brother encouraged.

Smiling all the while, Zhang Guoqing nodded towards his suspicious-looking wife, "Next time we’ll divide and take them separately. Didn’t even see a snake along the way."

Zhou Jiao chuckled in surprise. Does this mean her sons’ good luck is suitable everywhere? If true, that’s wonderful and indeed a real safety charm.

Zhang Guoqing watched his wife holding and laughing over the two little ones... somehow he felt cherished! Where was his eldest son?

"Dad, have some water before going for a shower." Ping’an ran over energetically to hand him the canteen.

Luckily, someone remembered him.

Zhang Guoqing barely had time to sigh with relief when he saw his eldest son also squeezing over to his wife’s side. Oh dear, could he still enjoy himself?
