Chapter 172: Zuo Lin

After exiting the gate, everyone gathered near the car, not eager to get in just yet. Zhou Xiaozheng saw they had two cars and quickly declared, "We can fit into three cars, squeeze in a little, let’s get back early. It’s windy and cold tonight."

Zuo Lin looked at everyone, pulled Aunt Zuo toward Zhang Guoqing’s car, and said with a smile, "Ah Zheng, you two take the cars you came in; we’ll ride in Xiao Wu’s car. I won’t visit the courtyard this time; catch me in the county town next time."

Everyone bid farewell with laughter, watched him get in the car, and hurriedly got into their cars, urging each other to leave promptly.

Zhang Guoqing saw Zuo Lin and the others getting in the car and said with a smile, "Auntie, I packed some fried cheese for you to take to Yu Yu. I think she’ll like it."

Aunt Zuo nodded with a smile, "Mm, it’s quite delicious. I saw you packed it; these two big barrels are to take back to your little wife, right? Not bad, you know how to care for people."

"I noticed Zhou Jiao has been eating too much chicken feet and pork trotters these days; it’s a bit overwhelming. I thought I’d have Master Fatty make something and take it back for Zhou Jiao to try, subtly learn a skill or two. I dare not act recklessly, afraid it might affect the child."

"Take good care and ensure a proper confinement period; any deficiencies before can be made up. You guys are young and don’t understand; if the confinement period isn’t managed well, you’ll feel it when you’re older. Supervise Zhou Jiao well."

Zuo Lin, hearing his wife finish speaking, said, "Get the transfer documents ready tomorrow; handle it early and get the supply books, so you won’t always need to take leave in the village. You tell me about your second brother’s credentials and strengths; let me consider."

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly laughed, "Uncle, listen here, I’ll report it to you. My second brother, Zhang Guoqiang, graduated before liberation from high school. Writing and arithmetic are absolutely fine, and he knows carpentry work. Among the three brothers, my second brother is the most clever; you can decide."

Zuo Lin nodded, looked at them, and said, "I have an old temporary worker spot here which is for a clerk, the occasional field assignment with colleagues. I agreed to reserve it for you; it’ll become permanent after three months. Let’s do it this way, don’t rush moving the household registration tomorrow, first bring your second brother to the bureau to find me. After I write a note, you can take your second brother to handle the procedures, you know many people in the bureau, take him along to get acquainted with colleagues. Once the reporting and procedures are done, move the household registration together. It saves you from back and forth running around."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing nodded repeatedly, exchanged a glance with his second brother, and spoke to Zuo Lin, "Uncle, you’re a great help, hehe, tell me, do you want tiger meat or something? The two of us brothers will head up the mountain the day after tomorrow."
