He was an old man locked in a cowshed, and besides calculating, he didn't have much entertainment to pass the time. Observing how long Jiang Ci could persist became a new interest for him.
To his surprise, Jiang Ci brought him a turning point.
Cheng Yehan was of course grateful to Jiang Ci; otherwise, she wouldn't have given her her English thesis to translate.
He was just waiting for Jiang Ci to finish translating and give it to him so he could polish it up a bit, show it to a few old guys, and introduce Jiang Ci to them as well.
They could also invite this bright and clever young girl to Beijing.
Cheng Yehan is unaware that his son has already brought the entire Jiang family to Beijing.
The old man glanced at Cheng Huasheng, then looked at him again, and said, "What do you think of Xiao Jiang's family?"
Cheng Huasheng thought for a moment, "Comrade Jiang's husband is a very good cook, reliable, and smart."
Once they arrive, they might be able to eat Zhou Mingli's cooking often.
Cheng Huasheng's face broke into a smile again.
Cheng Yehan: "Do you think they can live well in Beijing?"
Cheng Huasheng: "Of course! People like that can make a good living no matter where they are."
If Cheng Huasheng still couldn't grasp the deeper meaning behind his father's words at this point, then he shouldn't call him "Dad" anymore.
Cheng Huasheng took two quick steps in surprise, "Dad, are you asking me to find a way to bring them to Beijing?"
Cheng Yehan glared at him, "You're just the chief engineer of a research institute, do you really have that much ability?"
Cheng Huasheng: "..."
The old man, with his hands behind his back, said in a firm and powerful voice, "I'd rather find a donkey to pull them over than ask you for help."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huasheng couldn't help but laugh.
He calculated the time; Zhou Gou and the others boarded the train last night and should arrive tonight.
Zhou Gou would definitely take Zhou Huai directly to the army base, leaving Zhou Mingli's family with nowhere to stay.
Cheng Huasheng had already made arrangements for this.
He hadn't originally planned to tell the old man about this, thinking that after Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli arrived in Beijing, they would definitely visit each other frequently, and the old man would naturally know that they had also moved to Beijing once he saw them.
But looking at it now...
Cheng Huasheng watched the old man return to his room with a smile. Oh well, he'd keep it from him for another ten hours or so.
When Jiang Ci's family arrives in the evening, we'll see how my father reacts when he sees Comrade Jiang and Comrade Zhou at their home.
A day can go by quickly, or it can feel slow.
The train, which came from the provincial capital of Linyun City, finally arrived in Beijing at 6 p.m. after a day and a night of travel.
Once again, I hurriedly got off the train and carried my luggage.
Zhou Mingli was clearly experienced; he left his position early to unload their belongings.
Jiang Ci then tied the three children to her side. In her suitcase were all the money her family had, a valuable box made of Phoebe zhennan wood, a porcelain piece that looked like Yuan blue and white porcelain, and a lacquer box containing three large yellow croakers.
Besides the suitcase, Jiang Ci was also carrying several bundles of clothes, and Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were also carrying one or two small bundles of various sizes.
Jiang Ci and her three children got off the train first and waited by the stairs for Zhou Mingli and Zhou Gou to bring the things down.
Before long, Zhou Mingli and Zhou Gou came over pushing their bicycles, which were covered with large and small bundles hanging from them.
"Is there anything else you haven't taken?" Jiang Ci scanned the bundles up and down, counting the number of items.
Zhou Mingli shook his head, "I've brought them all, that's all."
"Okay, let's go."
Pushing their bicycles, Jiang Ci and her group squeezed their way out of the train station in a disheveled state, following the surging crowd.
Before he could catch his breath, he heard someone shout, "Zhou Gou!! Battalion Commander! Battalion Commander Zhou!!"
Zhou Gou looked up, and before anyone could tell who he saw, he burst out laughing, "Here I am!"
Several men rushed over in an instant.
They were dressed in neat military uniforms and looked like they had just come from the military camp.
One of the men, who looked slightly dark-skinned, glanced at Jiang Ci, then at Zhou Huai standing beside her, and chuckled, "These must be your sister-in-law and niece, right?!"
The dark-skinned man said enthusiastically, "Quickly, quickly! We've applied to the regimental headquarters to get the pickup truck out, let's go back in that!"
Zhou Mingli's face turned dark.
Zhou Gou sensed the black aura emanating from him and quickly explained, "What sister-in-law! This is my brother's wife! She and my brother are related!"
Zhou Gou glared at the dark-skinned man and quickly said to Zhou Mingli, "Xiao Long's words are unpleasant to hear, Second Brother, don't take it to heart!"
The dark-skinned man was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react, and an indescribable flush seemed to rise on his dark face. He was speechless for a long time.
"It's nothing." Zhou Mingli silently walked several steps toward Jiang Ci's direction. "Hello, I'm Zhou Mingli, and this is my wife, Jiang Ci."
Zhou Gou quickly introduced the people who had come to Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci.
The dark-skinned man was named Wang Long. He was accompanied by three soldiers, all of whom were under Zhou Gou's command. They knew that Zhou Gou was coming to the capital today, so they came to pick him up.
"You bunch of brats, get back!" Zhou Gou glared at them and told them to stand back.
Because of the blunder Wang Long caused, the soldiers didn't dare to say a word and retreated in unison.
Zhou Gou said to Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli, "Mr. Cheng must have prepared a place for you to stay. They have just driven over, so let's move your things upstairs first and then take you to Mr. Cheng's place."
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci exchanged a glance. When they came, they had also wondered if Cheng Huasheng would help them find a house.
If they've already found a place, then they can stay there temporarily. Once they find a suitable place, they can move out.
If you don't hire them, they have a letter of introduction and you can stay at the guesthouse for a few days.
As long as their food rations and household registration are transferred to Beijing, they can temporarily "live" in other people's houses.
Actually, "living" here means renting. Although it's not officially allowed to rent out houses, rules are rules, but people are flexible.
As long as they have a place to live, and Zhou Mingli is able to get the job as a kitchen helper, they will have a place to stay in Beijing.
Just as I was about to agree, another person came over.
"You're here!"
Jiang Ci and the others recognized the voices and turned around to see Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian.
"Mr. Cheng, Comrade Li!" Jiang Ci looked at them in surprise. "What brings you here?"
“We invited your family to Beijing. How can we just invite you and then not make any arrangements?” Li Ailian said with a smile.
He looked at her, then patted Zhou Yang, Zhou Miao, and Zhou Huai on the head, and said, "We waited outside for quite a while, thinking your train hadn't arrived yet! Then Hua Sheng saw a military vehicle driving by, and we guessed it was you, so we rushed over to check, and it really was!"
