Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Chapter 159: Entrusting

After getting in the car, Zhao Dashan said, "Hongli, this is your sister-in-law, your Brother Zheng’s wife. You women can talk among yourselves. Brother Zheng, I ran into Zuo Lin. We made plans for him to bring his wife to the restaurant tonight. Will you be late going back? Is everything okay with Jiao Jiao?"

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head and said, "She knows what’s going on. As long as I go back in the evening to let her sleep peacefully, it’s fine. My Jiao Jiao knows that her mom and I are going to tidy up the house."

Cheng Hongli grabbed Lin Lishan’s hand, excitedly saying, "Sister-in-law, I finally get to see you in person. You’re the idol of our female soldiers. We all want to see this Rouge Horse — how is the Northeast Tiger treating you? He hasn’t bullied you, right?"

Zhou Xiaozheng jokingly scolded, "Red Pepper, you’re something else. Just jumping in and gossiping about me, don’t bully my wife, or I’ll beat up your man."

Cheng Hongli rolled her eyes and said to Lin Lishan, "Sister-in-law, how can you not be afraid of this Cold-faced King? Pretending to be sincere, he must have bullied you a lot. You are returning from the provincial city, right? How come you returned this early? It seems impossible. Didn’t you surround Brother Zheng and beat him up?"

When Lin Lishan saw her, she saw that she was chatting away nonstop and didn’t need her to answer, "Didn’t meet anyone else, just Zhao Chuan Guang. Do you know Zhao Chuan Guang?"

"Who wouldn’t know that guy, I can remember him even if he turns to ashes. Those guys bullied our Old Zhao a lot, unforgettable. Did seeing Brother Zheng scare him this time? Brother Zheng, did he cry a lot?"

"Don’t worry, he’ll come over in a few days, you’ll have the chance to get revenge. Dashan, if they come, they’ll look for you first. I’ll be away for the next few days, so entertain them on my behalf." Zhou Xiaozheng was genuinely worried that those guys might hurry over and not find him, and might search Daqing Mountain.

Zhao Dashan nodded and said, "Sure, no problem. But Brother Zheng, besides going to Xiao Wujia’s place, where else will you go that I can’t find you?"

"I’m going hunting in three villages the day after tomorrow; I’ll stay in the mountains for a few days. I’m afraid these guys might rush over. Keep an eye on them, don’t let them go into the mountains."

Zhao Dashan nodded again, thinking of bringing more tools with him when going up the mountain.

Before long, the car arrived at the small courtyard entrance. The neighbors around this courtyard were far away, leaving a large empty space. Close to the Armament Department and the Public Security Bureau, a short distance to the right was a main road, with the county high school, supply and sales cooperative, and restaurant taking less than half an hour back and forth, which made Zhou Xiaozheng the most satisfied.

"We’re here. Everyone, get out of the car. Red Pepper, help your sister-in-law. Your man and I will drop off the stuff and leave. Shanshan, remember to reach out to Red Pepper if anything comes up. Don’t stand on ceremony with her; treat her like your own sister."

Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhao Dashan made three trips before they finished. After saying goodbye to them, Zhao Dashan drove to the woodworking factory.

Driving towards the woodworking factory, Zhao Dashan said, "Brother Zheng, you’ll be up the mountain for a few days the day after tomorrow. Let me take a leave and go with you? Do you need a gun?"

"Does your absence from work matter? At most, I’ll be away for two nights and be back soon; we might even return in one night. Once the courtyard is tidied up, I plan to take Jiao Jiao to stay in the county town for a few days."

"No worries, it doesn’t matter. Somebody down there manages the big picture. Besides, it’s not busy now. The year-end is approaching."

"Okay, do what you see fit. If you’re free, come early; we might need to depart early in the morning. Should I drive over to pick you up? Remember to prepare more anti-freeze materials as it’s likely to snow soon."
