Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 112: Tripod (Part 1)

After completing the re-enrollment procedures, National Day placed two stacks of new books in the car. Before he could close the car door, two people swiftly squeezed into the car and quickly closed the door.

National Day was startled. In the broad daylight, who could it be? He glanced inside, saw who it was, and hurriedly looked toward the school gate, relieved to see no one noticed, and quickly got in the car and drove away.

Only after turning the corner and losing sight of the school did National Day breathe a sigh of relief. He parked by the roadside, turned to his friends Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao, "Why did you sneak out? If you miss me, why not come to my place? Are you going back to class or not? If not, I’m driving off."

Zhang Yuntao looked at the new books beside him and sighed, "Xiao Wu, why did you buy books again? I don’t even bother, just leaving them at home. It’s a loss, a big one."

Li Qinglin slapped his forehead, "The focus isn’t on the books. Xiao Wu is making a comeback, you fool."

Then he looked at National Day, "Xiao Wu, have you really decided to take the university entrance exams? Is everything settled at home? What about the baby at home? Have you considered it all?"

"Everything is considered. Today, we’re catching up on re-enrollment procedures. Except for term finals, we’ll take long leave to study at home. We’re a year behind you; if there are no surprises, we’ll skip grades to catch up. After the New Year, we’ll work while preparing for exams. Have you decided whether to continue studying for university or start working directly? How about the three of us go for university and see the big city?"

Li Qinglin closed his eyes and leaned on the car seat, pointing at Zhang Yuntao.

Zhang Yuntao looked at them both, "I was planning to discuss with you. Now both of you want college, what about me? Try my luck while I can. Let’s not talk about this. Xiao Wu, where did you get the car you’re driving today?"

National Day pointed at the books in the back, "First, place the books at the county restaurant. I’m helping my mother-in-law return the car to the provincial city; this car is from the provincial military district. It should’ve been returned yesterday; delayed until today. If not for the low fuel, I’d be reluctant to return it. Help me bundle those books with a bag and tie them tight."

Li Qinglin looked at him suspiciously but didn’t ask, knowing that Taozi would definitely inquire. Sure enough, Taozi was shouting, "Packing new books in a shabby bag, silly?"

National Day rolled his eyes, "With people coming and going at the restaurant, it wouldn’t take an afternoon for the whole town to know what we’re up to. Who knows what’s in the bag once zipped up?"

After he finished speaking, Li Qinglin nudged Zhang Yuntao with a gleeful expression, "Told you you’re slow. Want to go to the provincial city with Xiao Wu later? It’s good for a stroll."

Zhang Yuntao rolled his eyes at him, "I’m already in the car; of course, I’ll go along. You didn’t know that, silly?"

"Oh Taozi, you’re quick at paying back." They both started bantering.

After National Day handled the books, he drove onto the highway, drove for over two hours to the provincial military district, handed over the keys and tags, thanked them for the invitation, and pointed outside to the two of them before leaving.
