Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 123: Lin Lishan Arrives in Beijing

At the Beijing Railway Station square, numerous travelers could be seen coming and going everywhere. As the Capital of the nation, this place experienced a huge daily flow of passengers. Many were waiting at the south gate exit for the return of family and friends. At this moment, two trains had just arrived, with passengers carrying luggage and parcels of various sizes.

Xiao Zhou glanced at the exit and squeezed through the crowd. After much effort, he managed to catch hold of a staff member to inquire and learned that the train Lin Lishan was on would arrive in another hour. He breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking the staff, he casually showed his work badge and was allowed into the platform. He found a sheltered spot, cleaned the ground, and leaned against the wall to rest with his eyes closed.

An hour later, the sound of the train entering the station echoed. Xiao Zhou quickly stood up and ran towards the boarding point. As he walked along the sleeper carriage, searching for Lin Lishan, even before he found her, he saw staff at the front of the carriage moving large parcels. Upon sight, he knew these were packed by Zhang Guoqing and hurried forward. Sure enough, he saw her conversing with the staff, "Big sister, Mr. Lin asked me to come to pick you up."

Lin Lishan was delighted to see Xiao Zhou and said to the train conductor, Liu Ming, "Mr. Liu, look, my family truly came to pick me up. You really don’t need to worry. My kid does tend to trouble people, and I owe much to your care along the way. Now that the train has stopped, you must have many tasks to handle. You go ahead with your work. We’ll get in touch later."

Liu Ming looked at the young man in military uniform standing before him and let out a sigh of relief, "It’s a good thing you’re here. Now I can truly say I’ve completed my duty. I’ll go arrange my work first. A cart will come over in a bit; you can exit then."

Xiao Zhou hurriedly approached to express his gratitude, "Thank you very much. Go ahead with your work. I’m here, so nothing will go wrong, and if needed, we can always reach out to the staff nearby."

Lin Lishan watched Liu Ming leave and curiously asked, "Has Xiao Wu sent a telegram?"

"Yes, he said there’s a 500-pound load for someone to pick up. The chief was worried last night and had me come to pick you up today. I think these things weigh more than 500 pounds."

Lin Lishan saw carts being pushed over upfront and anxiously said, "It certainly is more. There’s a lot of stuff, all sorts of things. We’ll discuss it after we return. The cart is here."

After more than an hour had passed and all the luggage and parcels were loaded onto the vehicle, Beijing was already shimmering with lights. The car followed the road towards the military district courtyard.
