Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966: Chapter 839: Where Do You Plan to Hold the Wedding?

The bountiful harvest spread like a virus from north to south. This year, besides the beaming smiles on the faces of the vast number of members, even the newspaper office sent staff to the countryside for interviews and reports.

Li Qinglin arrived at the Beijing newspaper office in this atmosphere to start his job. Compared to the last meeting, he seemed more composed and restrained with the addition of glasses.

Upon hearing that Zhang Guoqing was going to the military academy for further study, he was not surprised at all, and looked at Zhou Jiao who was joking with Hu Xiaohui, "So you two won’t make it to Taozi’s wedding then?"

Zhou Jiao shook her head with difficulty, "Let’s see. If I can squeeze in some time, I’ll try, otherwise Yuanyuan will go alone; I’m really overwhelmed."

Hu Xiaohui, who had heard about their past, laughed heartily.

"You stop laughing too. Where are you planning to hold the celebration? Don’t run out of town again."

Hu Xiaohui blushed with embarrassment and looked at Li Qinglin.

Zhou Jiao twitched her mouth at the sight, feeling quite toothache. Fake! It must be fake!

Li Qinglin smiled at his partner and looked at Zhou Jiao, "The elders in the family plan to host in both Beijing and the Northeast, but I’ll listen to Xiaohui."

This public display of affection almost made Zhou Jiao want to act on behalf of Li Aiguo and his wife. Truly getting a wife and forgetting your mother!

"Is the date set?"

Li Qinglin nodded, "After I report to the unit, we’ll first get the marriage certificate with the wedding held in Beijing during National Day. If there’s no long holiday, we’ll return to the Northeast for a feast by the end of the year."

"Jiao Jiao, isn’t Zhang Yuntao’s wedding at the end of the year? How about I hold the feast right after theirs? Then you and your husband won’t have to make another trip."

Zhou Jiao gave her a sideways glance, "Are you sure you’re not wanting me to accompany you for courage?"

Hu Xiaohui laughed heartily, "I knew you understood me best! It’s set then."

"Are good friends meant to be used?" Zhou Jiao laughed and tapped her, "According to the rules you have more than half a month of marriage leave, probably can’t wait until New Year’s."

"So everything is still uncertain."

Zhou Jiao nodded in understanding. She only knew Hu Xiaohui hadn’t changed jobs but didn’t know if she had told Li Qinglin the real situation. With their identities, occasionally going on a mission is like eating or sleeping, hopefully the bride won’t run away on the wedding day.

"When is your Zhang Guoqing coming back? I still want him to help Lin Zi get to know a few more friends."

Zhou Jiao secretly rolled her eyes, aren’t you afraid your majestic evil deeds will be exposed? "Where’s Little White Dragon?"

"That boy mingles with all kinds, better to wait for your man."

"Wow, you must really think highly of him." Zhou Jiao thought for a moment, "Better to wait until you get the marriage certificate, no need to rush."

Hu Xiaohui rolled her eyes, "Okay, listening to you. Do as you see fit."

Being upfront, Zhou Jiao couldn’t be bothered with her tricks, even without Zhang Guoqing stepping in, can anyone not give face to the Bai Family?

"Is the new house ready?"

Li Qinglin shook his head, "I just settled the job, can’t wait for housing allocation. This time I came to ask Xiao Wu for help finding a house."

Hu Xiaohui contemplated for a while and nodded, "Your words are simpler than my mother’s but more practical. Why do we women have it so tough?"

Faced with her melodramatic lament, Zhou Jiao was speechless. Truly blissfully ignorant, how many are desperate for an ideal partner, harmonious family?

Especially seeing so many so-called compatible matches in the past two years, it feels even more unfair to women. Although society is simpler than later times, it cannot escape some dirty deals.

Her mother’s Art Troupe just disciplined a female soldier recently. Even disciplined units are so, society outside unseen must be worse.

Remembering the fraud at Hai City’s fair. So many large calipers priced at just six cents each, the velvet in the box could make two Qi Pao dresses.

Such waste of national assets, without some shady deals, no one would believe. Handling those reports from various places, even with peace painted, she felt uneasy; some people and events push authorities to clean up.

"...Have you had any business trips recently? I want to have you bring something."

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "Wait for instructions from above, I’m like a brick, go wherever needed. Tell me what to bring, I’ll see if I can get familiar folks to help."

"Let’s forget others, pity I didn’t buy a watch last time, quite expensive now."

Zhou Jiao realized, gestured her hands towards her.

"Where’s your imported watch then?"

"Long gone. Regardless of school or work, wearing isn’t fitting." Zhou Jiao finished, glancing at her. We’re all smart people, she didn’t believe the other didn’t understand.

Presently flaunting to be caught later. She didn’t care about Li Qinglin’s couple, but cared about Zhang Guoqing. With his temper, if a buddy’s in trouble he must step in.
