Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 88: Fang Fei

Fang Fei accompanied his uncle He Yunwei as they sat on the playground, the night wind was quite strong, blowing with a bone-chilling cold. Both wore military coats, looked at the empty playground, smoked, and occasionally said a few words, talking about the old man back home in Beijing, discussing matters of the military, sharing their thoughts.

After a while, Fang Fei said seriously, "Overall, Grandpa is not at ease with you and Aunt. You haven’t heard that Zhou Xiaozheng is coming back, have you? This hasn’t spread yet, not many people know. I heard his brothers are all developing well here. The Lin Family probably wants him to come here too."

He Yunwei stood up in shock, said in amazement, "Zhou Xiaozheng is alive? Is the news true? I really don’t know him, but I often hear his stories here."

Seeing Fang Fei nod in confirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and softly said, "You stay in Beijing and only know that Zhou Xiaozheng is very capable, but you don’t know enough. He’s everywhere here, even the instructors occasionally mention him when training new recruits. He’s very famous, I heard when the news first came, several female soldiers fainted in tears.

If he indeed exists as the rumors say, the Lin Family would be futile no matter how much they struggle. What kind of person is he? Would he be influenced by others? Unless he wants to, Zhou Xiaozheng is a Northeast Tiger. Just one Lin Lishan affecting him? Wishful thinking.

As for his brothers, when I first arrived, it was rumored that he had twelve people living and eating together like actual brothers here, all led by him. Some have passed away, others transferred. The Head of Supply Zhao Chuan Guang should be one of his brothers, every Qingming Festival, he burns bags of paper money, and every year someone accompanies him in doing it. There’s countless talk about Zhou Xiaozheng’s brothers, his influence is too great."

Hearing this, Fang Fei pondered for a moment and then carefully relayed the occurrences since he arrived.

He Yunwei took a drag of his cigarette, looked at the distant trees, "What is Mr. Lin planning, high-profile bringing the grandson-in-law doesn’t seem like sending him to the barracks?"

"Zhang Guoqing doesn’t intend to mix in the military camp, probably wants to take another path. This man is smart, Grandpa is giving him a name, planning for him to take over the relations in Northeast in the future, combined with Zhou Xiaozheng’s connections, he’d be a strong aide to the Lin Family. Among the next generation, he and Lin Dingsheng are military and civil. But I think, Zhang Guoqing probably suspects Mr. Lin’s intentions, but surely won’t accept it, let alone become anyone’s assistance."

He Yunwei said incredulously, "How is that possible, he’s only 18, from a farming family, has no background, just because he married a good wife, could he compare with Lin Dingsheng? Lin Dingsheng was groomed by Mr. Lin’s couple."

"Not powerful, would the leaders bring him out? It’s an affirmation of his ability, along with Zhou Xiaozheng’s influence behind him. You haven’t interacted with him, he’s quite a decent person, has deep insight, means, scheming, no lack of strategy or background now.

Heard that the couple is preparing for university, people like them wouldn’t easily go astray, the goal is probably to enter the political path with high qualifications. Not to mention when Zhou Xiaozheng comes out, with the Lin Family behind him, no one would offend him in Beijing. Just talking about his personality, it’s very stable, in handling affairs, very cautious. In temperament, he possesses the chivalry typical of Northeast men, his vision is very precise, means and scheming are not lacking, with such people and favorable circumstances, inevitable to stand out among our generation.

Moreover, he has a very intelligent wife. Zhou Xiaozheng’s daughter Zhou Jiao takes after her father, this time when they visited suddenly without notifying the other side, yet they guessed it, the young couple just 17 and 18 guessed by some clues that Mr. Lin and Lin Lishan would arrive before the child was born, calculated only a day ahead. Even they guessed Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t pass away, participated in a secret mission, would return by year-end, handling even one thing very beautifully.
