Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 113: Tripod (Part 3)

As the sun sets in the west, the alley starts to bustle, and there are more people on the road. Zhang Guoqing rubs his numb legs, squats to read a book, gets engrossed, and subconsciously looks up to check the sky, quickly searching for them.

Upon seeing, besides not far from Li Qinglin, Zhang Yuntao on the opposite side is chatting vigorously with the young girl vendor. Looking at him, he’s just about to bring her back.

Zhang Guoqing and Li Qinglin laugh heartily at each other, that guy is educating for nothing.

According to Zhang Guoqing’s perspective, Zhang Yuntao should graduate from high school and pursue a military path. Military school and enlisting are the right way. His physical condition is good, he wins many awards in track and field every year, along with his personality, it’s really suitable. Unfortunately, his father is watching over him, having arranged the route ahead.

"Taozi, we’re leaving." Zhang Guoqing waves for him to come over. Doesn’t he see the little girl chatting with him? Even passersby are taking an extra look.

Leaving the market, Zhang Guoqing sees Zhang Yuntao touching his belly, secretly chuckling.

"How about we grab some lamb offal soup one more time? Eat and then go back, we’ll catch the last bus."

"Oh my, good buddy. That’s a good suggestion." Zhang Yuntao happily embraces him, shouting loudly.

Li Qinglin pulls them along a shortcut. Before even reaching the front of the shop, there are already two lines waiting. Seeing these long lines, Zhang Yuntao sighs heavily, just about to look at another store. Li Qinglin smiles mysteriously and leads them through a detour to the back door to enter.

"Lin Zi really knows his stuff here."

"There’s no other way, it’s basically always full here. We go in saying we’re old regulars, Xiao Wu shows them the bag and no one has a word of complaint, who would think we buy it and then double back."

Inside, Zhang Yuntao spots an empty seat just at the edge, pulls them to sit, and smiles at the server who’s just about to invite customers from outside in.

The server still remembers the three of them. Who could forget this trio who ate so much at noon and packed all the sheep’s stomach prepared by them? Seeing them now, smiling and nodding continuously.

After eating, Zhang Guoqing and the others rush to catch the last bus, returning from the provincial city to the county when it’s already pitch black. After getting off, Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao think they might as well accompany Xiao Wu to the restaurant to fetch his book, and maybe eat some more while they’re at it.

No way around it, lamb offal soup can’t serve as the main dish, even a few stuffed pastries aren’t enough to fill the gap in their teeth. They sneakily return to school, risk starving if waiting until morning to eat at the cafeteria.

As soon as Sister Wang sees them enter the restaurant, she is stunned and looks at them in shock, "How did you three gather together? Where did all these big bags come from? Looking at this miserable state, could it be you’ve traveled far?"

Zhang Yuntao sees her and laments, "Sis, quickly see what there is to eat, serve us first, we’re starving. Let’s eat and we’ll talk, we traveled far and walked till we’re almost crippled."

"Oh dear, you three fools, why didn’t you take the bus? Did you spend all your money?" She finishes without waiting for a reply, yelling loudly: "Chef, Xiao Wu and the three brothers are here, serve a big bowl of noodles, with extra meat, add more."
