Xu Keke smiled gratefully at Grandpa Zhao. "You two can go back inside and chat. We're leaving now."
Xu Keke didn't notice the expressions of the two people behind her and ran straight outside the yard with the little guy.
They found Song Lin's nearly new bicycle. They pushed Xiao Zhaodi and went to the alley opposite the department store.
Xu Keke had just been negotiating with someone to exchange this bicycle for a women's bicycle. Of course, they wouldn't agree to a direct exchange. Xu Keke then took out the women's watch that the Song family had given her when the original owner got married.
The original owner of the watch had never worn it, but Xu Keke took it out now. Including the bicycle Song Lin was riding, besides a women's bicycle, the other party also gave her an extra seventy yuan.
Most importantly, they have everything. Xu Keke even mentioned wanting to install a small chair for a child on the bicycle.
As if by magic, the other person quickly produced a small chair woven from thin wire and placed it on Xu Keke. It was covered with thick cotton cushions and seat pads.
Xu Keke couldn't be happier. What pleased her even more was that the other party only asked for five yuan from her.
Xu Keke rode the bicycle that made her feel extremely safe, and took Zhao Di to the police station.
As soon as she entered, Wang Lin was about to leave. Hearing that she had come to change Zhao Di's name, he quickly led her to the household registration office.
"You go ahead and do what you need to do, I'll just change the child's name."
"I'm fine. Why did you suddenly decide to change Zhao Di's name?"
Xu Keke stroked Zhao Di's little head, "We're going to take her to school to register soon. Zhao Di is a good nickname, but we should change her to a formal name for school. It will also sound nicer when she starts working."
"You were like this when you were in school."
Xu Keke didn't understand. "Me? What was I like when I was in school?"
"They think things through carefully, always plan ahead, and always consider the long term."
Xu Keke blinked, still not understanding. She was too lazy to ask for specific examples; perhaps that was just the impression the original owner gave off.
"Oh, right, I have something else to ask you. If you're not busy, I'll tell you after I change the child's name."
"No rush, I'm going to the school later too, we can talk as we walk."
This was something Xu Keke hadn't expected.
Xu Keke changed Zhao Di's name to Song Qian.
After changing her name, Xiao Zhaodi sat in her special seat, while Wang Lin helped Xu Keke push her bicycle.
Xu Keke told Wang Lin about her family's desire to move to a different house.
"I just wanted to ask if it's possible to change my household registration later."
Wang Lin stared at her for a moment, then took a deep breath, seemingly relaxing suddenly. "I never thought you'd ask me for help. I thought this day would never come again."
Xu Keke raised an eyebrow. This Wang Lin must have had something going on with the original owner. But the original owner had hidden her memories, and there were some things she couldn't answer.
No wonder the original owner had a royal flush, but she didn't use it.
Wang Lin's background is unusual. He became the head of a police station at a young age, and then rose to the position of bureau chief so quickly. Besides his personal abilities, there must be something else going on.
Xu Keke is not the original owner of this body; she doesn't have those emotional entanglements. For her, resolving her family's problems is what she cares about most right now.
"This is difficult to handle; if it's too troublesome..."
Wang Lin smiled at her, "No trouble at all. What's the trouble? It's on the premise that both parties are willing, and the police station has agreed, so there's no problem. When you want to switch, just come to me, and I'll talk to both sides."
It all sounded complicated, but Xu Keke pretended not to understand. If they didn't change it now, they'd have to wait a few more years. Although in less than ten years, these rules and regulations would be relaxed in novels of this era.
But having already spoken, and with the original owner's parents, younger brother, and sister-in-law still waiting, Xu Keke didn't want them to wait another ten years.
Xu Keke talked to him about the situation of urban-rural cooperation and asked him which location he thought would be better if she were to change houses.
On the surface, Xu Keke wanted to hear his opinion. In reality, Xu Keke didn't want to talk to him about anything else.
She only wanted their relationship to remain at the level of old classmates. That way, she could ask him for help openly. She was afraid he might say something inappropriate, in which case Xu Keke would have no choice but to avoid him and cut off all contact.
What Xu Keke didn't expect was that Wang Lin not only dropped them off at the school gate, but also followed them into the school.
The school principal was a woman in her fifties, somewhat older. She clearly knew Wang Lin. With him around, the conversation went very smoothly. The principal even immediately asked Zhao Di to stay.
"Let her get used to the environment first. I'll have someone take her home at noon. A few of her classmates will be coming to school with her these next few days, so you don't need to worry."
In this day and age, children won't get lost. People will go and call them to go to school together, just in case they're late or don't know the way.
Xu Keke asked Zhao Di what she thought and, knowing that she also wanted to stay, left her at the school, promising to pick her up after school in the afternoon.
Once outside the school gates, Xu Keke dared not have any further involvement with Wang Lin. After saying goodbye to him, she got on her bike and rode home.
