Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 803

Chapter 803: Chapter 677: Eldest Nephew

Zhang Ziwen was admitted to the provincial college located in the city, saving the trouble of transferring. Compared to higher institutions, this vocational school is not very large. However, the surrounding environment is fairly quiet, with a residential area nearby, and there are several state-run cafes and supply and marketing cooperatives on nearby streets.

Overall, the conditions are not bad.

Before reaching the school gate, they saw young men and women who looked like students coming and going, and there was a banner on the school gate welcoming new students.

Zhang Guoqing whispered to his eldest nephew beside him, "Are you sure you didn’t read the admission notice date wrong?"

Zhang Ziwen also found it strange. He shook his head, "I’ve looked at it several times; I wouldn’t have made a mistake."

Zhang Guoqing patted his shoulder, "Just ask around later, you’ll find out. Don’t worry, there won’t be any issues."

After saying that, he glanced at the group of kids behind him, "You guys go in but don’t shout loudly, wander around the campus. Xi Zi, you’re the big brother, keep an eye on your younger siblings. I’ll take Ziwen to the office to handle some things first."

Xi Zi: "Don’t worry, little uncle, we’ll go in and won’t just wander around. We’ll wait for you on campus."

Zhang Guoqing nodded, taking the kids to the school gate.

He didn’t rush to go inside, first going to the duty room at the gate. Seeing an old man inside, he quickly pulled out a cigarette and handed it over with a smile, "Old man, have one."

The old man shook his hand, "No need. What do you need?"

Zhang Guoqing saw him reluctantly staring at the cigarette, ostentatiously took out a lighter to light it, and handed it over, "Don’t be polite. My child got into this school this year, the notice says the reporting date is next week, but why is the school putting up a banner? Did I make a mistake?"

The old man took a big drag and laughed, "You didn’t make a mistake. This banner was just put up this morning. I hear people from out-of-province places far away are coming over these days."

"Can we register earlier since we live nearby?"

The old man pointed in a direction, "I’m not sure about the details, but you can ask the teachers over there, they’ll know."

"Mister, what’s your surname? In the future, my child will need your attention."

"Haha, my surname is Mo. The student is what...your brother or...?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing laughed, "You’ve got it wrong. He’s my eldest nephew. I’m the youngest in the family, so my generation rank is up there. Mister, I’ll head inside first, sorry for the trouble."

"No trouble at all. Young man, you’d better register first; arriving early means you can pick the bed. I often hear the kids talking about the rooms being close to the toilet and all."

Zhang Guoqing nodded knowingly, placing the remaining half pack of cigarettes on the table, "Don’t mind it, this is me paying my respects to you, please keep an eye on the child for me. Thank you."

"Oh, no need..."

Zhang Guoqing had already finished speaking, pulling Zhang Ziwen into the school, waving amicably to the old man.

After walking a distance, he quietly explained to the slightly bewildered child, "Don’t underestimate the gatekeeper; these people often have the most information. One, they are older, so they have seen more and know more; if they remind you of something, it can help you avoid a lot of trouble.

Secondly, school teachers have competition, but they won’t want to guard the gate, so the old man’s position is the safest. Being safe means he’s not involved in school affairs, and he sees things most clearly.

Thirdly, if someone wants to find out about a student’s character or anything, they’ll consult the gatekeeper first. Key point: if someone from another school comes to cause trouble, he’s the first line of defense."

Zhang Ziwen exclaimed in admiration, "Little uncle, you’re really smart!"
