Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 704 - 579: Is the Moon Rounder Here Than Back Home?

Chapter 704: Chapter 579: Is the Moon Rounder Here Than Back Home?

When they left, it was already late. Baby Face took Zhou Jiao in a car and traveled through two "countries" again. Seeing this, Zhou Jiao was amused and enjoyed watching the different pedestrians outside the window, with a smile on her face.

"Want to go out and stroll? Watches, chocolates, and those specialties here are cheaper than over there," Baby Face glanced at her and suddenly said.

Zhou Jiao looked at him in disbelief, "Can I?"

Keep in mind, Baby Face usually had the same serious expression as her dad, all business-like, giving her a lot of pressure. His sudden offer was as rare as a blooming iron tree.

Without a word, Baby Face stopped the car and gestured for her to go quickly.

Oh my! It’s really possible. What a reliable character she has!

Zhou Jiao didn’t hesitate, grabbed her backpack, and dashed outside.

"Ten minutes."

Zhou Jiao didn’t even look back as she waved her hand. Ten minutes? Let alone ten minutes, even if she had five minutes, she would run out to enjoy the free air.

Thus, she ignored Baby Face’s mumbling to himself: "Ah, truly the seed of our Old Captain, hehe... That little girl thought you really had no interest in shopping, I knew you were holding back. The little fox’s tail is showing. She’ll definitely buy chocolates this time..."

Zhou Jiao, running far away, had no idea that this Baby Face who had known her for so long was one of her dad’s soldiers, one of the leaders she resented so much that included her dad.

Rushing in and out of a few stores, Zhou Jiao finally enjoyed the joy of shopping without tickets and queues, with a smiling face.

But unfortunately... even though she was not short on money, she didn’t dare to shop excessively. She hadn’t forgotten how much attention it would draw if an Asian went on a shopping spree among a bunch of blonde-haired and blue-eyed people. It wasn’t like the future where yellow-skinned people had money!

Ten minutes later, Zhou Jiao, with a grin, skipped lightly back to the car holding a small bag of medicine, eager and cheerful.

Seeing this, Baby Face was surprised and looked at the bag in her hand. After a while, he shook his head and chuckled, "Why didn’t you buy some food? The handmade chocolates are nice, with all kinds of flavors."

Could Zhou Jiao say that she had secretly stocked up on a lot of watches, coffee, red wine, handmade chocolates, condensed milk cheese, and some really nice things from this country?

She shook her head with a smile, "Too expensive."

This time she wasn’t lying. All the money on the two savings certificates from Wang Baiwan’s family was exchanged into the local currency, and she had squandered it all in half a month.

Baby Face nodded knowingly and reminded her, "If we stop in Su Country on the way back, bringing some stuff from there would be more cost-effective, as the prices there are relatively much lower than here."

"Sure."

Of course Zhou Jiao knew that. Whenever she went somewhere, she would absolutely not miss the local good stuff. Especially abroad, it would be silly not to loot, and she had casually taken a lot of things.

Given how much Northeast resources Su Country had taken, she was doing her utmost to avenge the elders and villagers. That place had many valuable things, and people there worked lazily.

She heard that many farms didn’t even bother with ripe wheat before deep winter, truly despicable people! In her view, it was because they were idle after having plenty, so by taking their flour and such, she was actually doing them a favor, forcing them to work harder due to the lack of resources.

She had no idea from where a whole train of coal was looted, but she was doing justice for the people, making those guys wise up and stop forcing fellow countrymen to tighten their belts to repay debts.

Thinking about repaying debts, Zhou Jiao got the urge to go back and loot everything again, but unfortunately, her space was still too small. She had pressed and folded everything until it almost exploded before stopping.

She wondered if that last batch of gold Mrs. Lin gave her was donated and if she at least got her money back this time. She couldn’t just take that loss silently.

Baby Face was cool and had kept silent since making that statement. Zhou Jiao seriously suspected he was still single, otherwise, why wouldn’t such a pretty girl like herself get flirted with?

Oh hey~ where’s the face?

Watching a couple walking past outside the car window, Zhou Jiao followed them with envious eyes until they disappeared from sight. Her greatest regret this time was not letting Zhang Guoqing accompany her here.

Otherwise, he would’ve surely helped her steal a car to return, get some highly precise instruments, or even accompany her to the Black Market for a few rounds.

Without her man as a partner, she didn’t dare to take risks and had to hold back. Official trips were indeed inconvenient; there would come a day when the two of them would venture the world together as a team.

When they arrived back at the residence, in the yard, Hu Xiaohui was sitting there looking up at the starry sky. Zhou Jiao came over and patted her on the shoulder, joking, "Is the moon here rounder than ours?"

Hu Xiaohui laughed heartily, patting the lawn, "Have a seat. After tomorrow night, we’ll be leaving, let’s soak in the foreign night one last time."

Zhou Jiao obliged, sitting down, hugging her knees, and gazing into the distance. She quietly sighed, "Finally going home. It’s dawn over there now."

"Not yet, with the seven-hour time difference, it’s still around three or four o’clock in the morning over there. Give it a couple more hours, and we can have some soy milk and breakfast."

Looking up at the stars in the sky, Zhou Jiao thought about her man who should be getting up to head to school now. She had been away for so long, the supplies she left behind must have run out a while ago. She wondered how much weight they had lost in the meantime? She wondered if her son, in his dreams, had missed her? She wondered if her family was doing well?

"Shall we buy some fish tomorrow morning? I love your braised fish."

Zhou Jiao nodded, "Sure, let’s buy more. Fish is about the only affordable thing here."

Hu Xiaohui laughed so much that she rocked back and forth.

Zhou Jiao, speechless, patted her, "Gosh, such a giggly girl! Such a low threshold for laughter."

"Speaking of which, are you really from the Imperial City? With the way the lads and ladies in Beijing joke around, you would’ve laughed till you couldn’t breathe."

"Born and bred," Hu Xiaohui said and winked at her, "a mix of North and South."

Zhou Jiao knowingly inspected her figure, "No wonder she’s so petite, I said so, she’s purely a Southern girl."

Hu Xiaohui glared at her and snorted, "You’re not much better yourself. Nobody believes you’re from the north."

Zhou Jiao quickly attempted to pacify her, "Yeah, whenever people see me, they ask, ’Little girl, which part of the South are you from?’ You tell me, what kind of eyesight is that."

After speaking, Zhou Jiao saw her laughing non-stop again, and she looked up at the sky speechlessly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Tomorrow those foreign students will come over, and we’ll go back together the day after."

Zhou Jiao nodded, "Are those native Tu Clan members going to take a lot of stuff back again? Last time they came with several bags of masks and kites, they won’t be taking several bags of watches back this time, will they?"

"Maybe it’s what the two of them want, but it might be beyond their capacity."

The two chatted idly about random things, and it was an hour before they went back to their rooms. If there was anything Zhou Jiao liked the most here, it was the European-style furniture in the room, especially that soft sofa.

Many times when she passed by the furniture store on the street, she was tempted, but the target was too big, and she could only regretfully hold back – it was definitely something her mom would like.

The next morning, Baby Face heard Zhou Jiao was making fish, and personally took Zhou Jiao and the two girls to the market. Otherwise, if they relied on walking and taking the bus, he was really worried they wouldn’t be able to return to the country the next day.
