Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Chapter 183: Processing the Paperwork

Zhang Guoqing and his brother Zhang Guoqiang rode their bicycles to the county town, arriving past nine. The two hurriedly sped towards the County Public Security Bureau.

The County Public Security Bureau now shares an office space with the women’s federation within a large courtyard. As they entered, the courtyard was bustling with people. Apart from a few staff members in uniform from the bureau, almost everyone else was a woman - a unique feature of the county bureau’s courtyard. Women hold up half the sky here, if not more. In addition to the women’s federation, the daycare center and cafeteria within the courtyard are also predominantly staffed by women.

Zhang Guoqing would stop and chat with acquaintances along the way. He even spoke a few words with people from the women’s federation. What was supposed to be a short walk took him a full half hour.

The two brothers finally made it to Zuo Lin’s office on the second floor. Zhang Guoqing knocked on the door, and after hearing Zuo Lin call them in, he opened the door and entered.

Seeing them come in, Zuo Lin jokingly scolded, "The moment you guys walked in, I knew it. I’ve been hearing Xiao Wu’s voice for the past half hour without seeing your faces. So, how’s it going, old second? Did you see how popular Xiao Wu is? Everywhere he goes, he seems to know everyone. I’ve written a note for you; go handle the paperwork at the human resources department, then register at the finance office. Xiao Wu knows all these places, so let him guide you. Remember to get your work uniform; wear it next Monday for work. Once you’re done, come back up with Xiao Wu. I have more to discuss with you."

Zhang Guoqiang nodded respectfully and replied, "Uncle, got it. I’ll go take care of the paperwork with Xiao Wu first, then we’ll come back up."

Zuo Lin nodded, waved the two brothers off, urging them to hurry.

Zhang Guoqing led Zhang Guoqiang a short distance to the innermost office, knocked on the door, and shouted loudly, "Sister, are you there? It’s Xiao Wu. I’m coming in."

A cheerful laugh came from inside, "Come on in, the door’s not locked."

The human resources staff member, Sister Lin, saw Zhang Guoqing push the door open and enter, followed closely by a man who looked similar to him. She stared wide-eyed and curiously asked, "What are you doing here? Not going to Director Zuo but coming to me, that’s rare."

Zhang Guoqing nudged his older brother to sit down. He leaned against the desk and said with a grin, "This is something only you can handle, Uncle Zuo can’t. Where’s Aunt Huang and Four Eyes?"

Sister Lin playfully smacked his arm and laughed, "You brat, calling him Four Eyes, randomly giving Brother Zhang a nickname, let’s see if he doesn’t beat you up. The other day when you came to the bureau, why didn’t you come up to see him? He’s been nagging about it, driving me crazy. He’s out with Sister Huang on official business today, not coming back. Do you have business with them? Tell me about it."

"Sister, this is my second brother. Don’t you think they look alike? Born from the same parents. Haha... He’s starting work here, so Sister, you have to keep an eye on him for me. Here, Second Brother, give Sister Lin the note. Sister Lin, take a look and tell us what paperwork needs to be done," Zhang Guoqing said naturally.

Sister Lin took the note, glanced at it, and gave Zhang Guoqing a sidelong look, "You little fox. Didn’t you know what to do? Once I register this and sign it, I’ll take you to the finance office so they can register you, and you’ll be all set to receive your salary next month. When do you plan to handle the household registration? If you want to do it right away, I’ll write you another note. And about the work uniform, I’ll find someone to get it from the warehouse for you, so just wait a sec."

After saying that, she left the room and called down, getting a response from below, and returned inside, her face filled with gossip as she quietly asked, "Everyone’s been saying that your in-laws have come to the county town lately. So, is it true they’re really young?
