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

Chapter 1332 - 1204: Family Background

Zhang Guoqing sat down and opened the file. After a moment, he couldn’t help but laugh: He really didn’t expect to encounter an orphan descendant of a Qing dynasty noble.Zhou Jiao put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at him with confusion.

"Look?" Zhang Guoqing handed her a piece of paper, "If it were in the past, maybe this little girl would be some kind of princess."

"Qi Kejiu? So it should be Qi Jia’s Kejiu?" Zhou Jiao smiled indifferently, "The Qi Jia surname isn’t of the imperial family, what princess nonsense."

"Look again, what is her mother’s surname? Jin." Zhang Guoqing touched his chin, "To be able to marry into the Qi Jia, and it was childhood arranged marriage, still a minority."

Besides the imperial family, Man Qing also had eight great surnames: Tongjia, Gua Er Jia, Ma Jia, Niu Gulu, Qi Jia, Fucha Clan, Suo Chuo Luo, and a Nala Clan.

Among them, the Qi Jia is the most prestigious of the eight great surnames, mainly because the Qi Jia population is small, rare is precious, and the objects of arranged marriages at that time were also extremely noble.

Afterward, Daqing ended, and they changed their surnames, not just the eight great surnames but also the imperial family. Aixinjueluo wasn’t changed to Jin or something else.

It’s not impossible for Qi Kejiu’s mother?

"Do you suspect Little Jiu’s mother is a descendant of a fallen imperial family?" Zhou Jiao glanced at him with a smile, as if the bloodline were so noble.

"Just joking. However, wife, having a daughter-in-law from a minority does have its benefits. No matter how strict family planning becomes, our May 1st can have a second child in the future."

Zhou Jiao gave him an exasperated sidelong glance, was that not a bit premature? So sure her May 1st will end up with them? Who knows what changes might occur after a few years abroad?

Who knows, one day she might bring back a foreign daughter-in-law directly!

Zhou Jiao shook off the distractions, looked down to review again, and curiously looked at him, "With such a background, how did Qi Jiawei manage to enlist from a unit initially?"

"What’s so strange about that? Aren’t there plenty of people with the surname Guan or Na? These Eight Banner members weren’t really orthodox. In the past, which family didn’t have direct and concubine branches, who didn’t have clan relatives?"

Zhou Jiao thought about Mr. Ai and Master Jin, and nodded knowingly.

"There’s really no need to change the surname. For instance, Qi Jiayuan, he is Qi Jiayuan, who would say there’s a problem with his surname? It’s not like he’s Niu Gulu Yuan."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled at her words, "Who knows. I figure the elders might have changed the surname to avoid war and after Liberation, when dynasties changed, there must be many reasons."

"So they say no flower blooms for a hundred days, and no one is good for a thousand. We also need to leave more paths for the children. What a pitiful girl she is now."

"What do you think of this girl?"

"She’s okay."

Zhang Guoqing mused privately: Nonsense! If she wasn’t okay, you wouldn’t have brought the little girl back to the old house. Wasn’t it obvious what he meant, why didn’t his wife understand?

"Flaws?"

"With this little girl’s skill in reading the room, if she wanted to get on well with the Zheng family, it wouldn’t be impossible. She has pride, but she’s a bit too timid.

It just so happens our child met her, otherwise the exchange student quota could have been taken by the Zheng family. What would she do then?

Report? Hehe~ If the Bai family got involved, these crafty ones would find enough excuses. That’s the one thing I’m dissatisfied with about her. By the time she’s 18, it’ll be too late.

Of course, there might be other reasons inside, but she’s compromising too much. She has thousands of ways to get her dad’s compensation, yet she puts up with the bullying from the Zheng mother and daughter, it doesn’t make sense."

Zhang Guoqing frowned after listening, "This point, have you talked to May 1st about it?"

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "If even this, my son doesn’t see, I’ll be very disappointed. I plan to keep her under my watch and observe."

"Aren’t you afraid that over time, feelings will grow?"

"Haha, you’re wrong." Zhou Jiao smiled slyly, "If they’re really not suitable, even if they both go to the United States, I’ll have a way to keep my son away."

Zhang Guoqing playfully patted her head, "Planning to throw money like in those TV dramas?"

"Am I an idiot?" Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes, "My son has big ambitions, with his slow-witted noodle, the moment I give him a task, he’ll be busy as a bee."

Zhang Guoqing exaggeratedly gave her a thumbs-up, "My wife is impressive."

Zhou Jiao laughed happily, "Just joking. If our son truly falls in love, I wouldn’t bear for him to be wronged. I consider myself the most democratic mother."

This self-proclaimed democratic mother got up early and went to work reluctantly, barely having time to observe the young one’s romances.

However, Zhang Guoqing, before getting in the car, called over his three sons to cultivate father-son relationships. He adamantly refused to allow any unfavorable factors to disturb his family.

Such as clan secrets or life-and-death feuds, these dramatic plots are all man-made, better to question first and isolate.

"Dad, do we need to cultivate a relationship? You’re not a stepdad?"

"We need to deepen our relationship too."

"Alright, you’re the dad, whatever you say goes."

"Little Treasure, can’t you see it?" Backseat Ping’an crossed his legs, "Our dad can’t bear to part with you, Liu Yi and I are extras."

"Oh~ Are you jealous, Da Bao?"

Zhang Guoqing jokingly tapped his youngest son’s forehead, "You’re no worse off! I noticed those going abroad get all teary-eyed, why are you so happy?"

Liu Yi snorted, "Dad, you don’t get it, he’s desperate to run away far."

"Two, don’t provoke."

"Your little brother isn’t wrong, I’m getting old, getting old, despised by my sons." Zhang Guoqing slumped his shoulders, "Back then, I changed your diapers and bottle-fed you..."

May 1st was frightened and immediately grabbed his arm, "Dad, can we not act it out? Who said you’re old, when you step outside, you’re our big boss, really."

"You little brat!" Zhang Guoqing laughed and scolded.

"See, this is my dad. Dad, can I lift the alcohol ban?"

"At home, yes, not outside, especially abroad. That’s family rules. Not just you, your brothers have to follow them too."

Alcohol can impair judgment and cause trouble, this rule was set by his wife specifically for their sons, and he dared not change it.

Including him, don’t be fooled by him often drinking with Yi Jiefang and the others, that’s at home, while out, it’s just sipping lightly.

It’s just that May 1st always wants to challenge everything, curious about everything. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s been sensible since young, and has seen enough of the world, they wouldn’t be assured letting him go abroad.

The world outside is truly tempting.

The car quickly filled with Zhang Guoqing’s conversation set between men.

Listening to the driver Xiao Zhu snicker, soon he started to restrain his laughter, tightening his grip on the steering wheel as he listened, thoughtful.

Just as the leader said.

Times are progressing, with good on one side, naturally, there are drawbacks, wanting to establish a place in this world, good adaptability needs to be wary of some tricks.

Especially for them as guards, who knows how many tricks are hidden behind the scenes, just waiting to catch them in error?
