Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 166

"Second brother, we’ll drive over. Tonight Zuo Lin and my father-in-law will be drinking together, so there’s no problem with this. Just relax." Zhang Guoqing opened the car door for him to get in first.

After getting in the car, Zhang Guoqiang couldn’t help but look back at the yard, "Xiao Wu, did your father-in-law just buy this yard? Wow, that’s fast."

"Hehe, it wasn’t bought today; it was bought yesterday. It didn’t even take two hours. I guess they went to the provincial city to buy things this morning, you see the car drove back from there."

"Wow. I’ve never seen anyone spoil their child this much. Buying a house like they’re buying cabbage. Did they spend the whole day organizing? Did you check inside? How much did it cost?"

"Including all the furniture, it was 800 yuan, just the yard was about 600 yuan. The antique furniture is worth more than the yard. The original owner was a university professor, a bit eccentric, set the price at 800 yuan himself, got a bargain." Zhang Guoqing remarked.

Zhang Guoqiang sighed, scratching his head with frustration, "Just 600 yuan, and I can’t afford it. Even with a salary, it would take years, right?"

"Second brother, don’t worry. Tomorrow morning we’ll head up the mountain and we’ll get something. Besides, you have me, aren’t you worried about not being able to buy a small yard?" Zhang Guoqing comforted him.

The car slowly drove forward. Zhang Guoqing thought for a moment and drove directly to the county Public Security Bureau. Seeing someone coming out, he quickly got out of the car and asked, "Comrade, has Comrade Zuo Lin finished work yet?"

The person saw Xiao Wu and smiled, "You’re Xiao Wu, right? Director Zuo just left about twenty minutes ago. My last name is Liu, you’ll recognize me when you see me next time."

"Oh, Brother Liu, don’t blame me; you wouldn’t know I have a bad memory. I was wondering why you looked familiar. Are you off work now?"

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "I’m in the household registration department, so you really need to remember me. You’ll likely need to transfer your household registration in the next few days, right? I saw you yesterday handling the household registration with the golden baby’s dad."

Zhang Guoqing laughed and put his arm around his shoulder, "Brother, you’re really a fortune-teller. Indeed, I’ll need your help in the next couple of days. How about you let me treat you to a few drinks?"

Mr. Liu patted him, "I’d handle it well for you even if you didn’t treat me. You should quickly go find Director Zuo. He went down the road ahead, seems to be heading toward the textile factory. Come hang out with me when you’re free."

Zhang Guoqing nodded happily and, after saying goodbye, got back in the car after watching him walk far away. He said to Zhang Guoqiang, "That’s Mr. Liu from the household registration department, I don’t know his full name. A smart man, knows how to get things done. Brother, you can interact with him in the future when you see him, but don’t be too close, such people are always thinking about benefits."

After listening, Zhang Guoqiang nodded and smiled, "I think you’re even better at getting things done than he is. You’re not being very straightforward, calling him brother here warmly, but telling me behind the scenes that he’s calculating."

"There’s no other way, life is like a play, and it all depends on the acting skills. In life, you always have to compromise with things and people you don’t like, as long as I stay true to my heart, it’s fine."

Zhang Guoqing headed toward Zuo Lin’s house, not driving to the textile factory, which puzzled Zhang Guoqiang, "Xiao Wu, why aren’t you driving to the textile factory? Where are you going?"
