Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 946

Chapter 946: Chapter 819: Faces of All Beings

At noon in Beijing, the sun was like a fireball, scorching the earth. The sweltering heat in the air made it hard to breathe, without a trace of wind. The ground was scorching hot, and people felt the heat burning their feet while walking. Even the parasol trees by the road stood droopily without moving.

Riding her bicycle, Lin Liyin arrived at the gate of the Big Courtyard, and as soon as she got off, she anxiously rushed to the security booth, asking why no one from the Zhou Family was answering the phone.

"When Chief Zhou left for business out of town, he took the whole family with him," the sentry, familiar with Lin Liyin, thought for a moment, "You can call them over there."

"How about the Cheng Family then?"

"They’re not here either."

Lin Liyin bit her lip and asked, "Besides my older brother-in-law, when will the others return?" She knew some families would leave messages in case of emergencies.

"No idea."

Realizing she couldn’t get any more information, Lin Liyin hesitated for a moment, thanked him, and then hurried to the Art Troupe.

A young female soldier shook her head as usual, "We can’t know the troupe’s activities in advance. If there’s a mission, Director Mou would come back early."

Mou? Lin Liyin felt a jolt in her heart, her face changed slightly, and she forced a smile, "When did your director change?"

"No, just a surname change." The female soldier stuck out her tongue after speaking, chuckling awkwardly, "You can call her home, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go now."

Lin Liyin sighed as she watched the other person quickly leave after speaking. It turns out the surname had been changed long ago, it’s genuinely different now. Call? She smiled bitterly while getting back on her bicycle. Since her brother-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng had been promoted again, ordinary calls no longer reached the Zhou family.

Dejected, Lin Liyin returned to the retirement home. Upon stepping into the living room, she saw several people sitting there and quickly gulped several sips of tea without speaking much.

"Hold on, I’ll wash my face first."

"Go ahead, no rush. I asked Auntie to make green bean soup." Sitting in an upper seat, Mr. Lin was aware that running around outside in such a hot day was not easy.

Lin Liyin nodded listlessly.

If it wasn’t urgent, why not let her wait until the sun set? As if her daughter mattered when it pertained to her son. It’s a pity wasting a good weekend, also not knowing how the two sons are doing at their aunt’s house.

In the living room, Lin Lao’er, Lin Aidang, had returned to Beijing just a few days ago with a veteran’s certificate. Seeing his sister’s worried expression, he glanced at his wife. The two exchanged looks and looked toward Mr. Lin.

"Old Lin, let the child report according to regulations." Elder Jiang patiently advised. He thought it would be good to work as a security director at the factory, also facilitating his daughter’s employment there.

"That place is too far away, going to the vacuum flask factory is also fine."

By this time, the Beijing suburb thermos factory had been established for two or three years, growing in scale, no longer the open-air small workshop it used to be, despite being located remotely.

Hearing the family-in-law say so, Elder Jiang immediately kept silent. If even the father doesn’t agree, how could he manage the son-in-law? Especially seeing the sparkle in his daughter’s eyes across from him. Alas, children are perpetual debts!

By the time Lin Liyin finished her shower and sat down with wet hair, half an hour had passed. She shook her head without waiting for them to speak.

Mr. Lin furrowed his brow, "Didn’t you say in a few days it’s my 70th birthday?"

"Dad, I didn’t even see them."

"What’s going on? Your brother-in-law needs to do business there, but does your sister need to go too?" Mr. Lin asked angrily with a stern face.

"Old Lin, don’t rush, let the child speak slowly."

"Alas, as children grow older, they grow wings."

Elder Jiang was silent again. He glanced at his old in-law, quickly lowered his head, and picked up his teacup. Rather regretful of coming after hearing what his daughter said.
