Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 590 - 76: Tamed Completely by the Man_3
If one year doesn’t work out, while you’re still young, there are more opportunities, right? Somehow we can still go to college.
And then there’s Little He.
No matter what, we need to pull some strings to get her registered in the third year of high school.
Whether she goes or not is not important, but she must have a fair chance to take the college entrance exam—after all, what Wen Juan said was actually quite useless, and he isn’t sure whether one will need a high school diploma to apply.
We’ll just have to try and meet all the conditions as best we can.
Originally, Shi Suifeng would have to put in some effort with personal connections for these things, but after seeing Chu River’s savings yesterday, he felt particularly confident.
Even asking for money seemed justified—
"Little He, how much cash does the family have? Give me 1000 yuan."
Yesterday, after seeing a few kids taking money, it should be enough.
With six kids plus Little He, this amount should be about right.
Chu River stretched lazily and came out of the house, but before he could speak, Da Dan came out of the room holding a notebook:
"Uncle, what do you need 1000 yuan for? I’m keeping track of the accounts."
Oh, his uncle really has no knack for making money, and he doesn’t even know if he can spend it wisely. He must keep the accounts detailed.
Shi Suifeng: ...
Where did it go wrong?
Why was he thinking about asking Chu River for money?
Taking 1000 yuan and various cans of cigarettes, alcohol, milk powder, and other things from Da Dan, Shi Suifeng didn’t dare to puff his chest too high as he left the house.
...
Things went quite smoothly for Shi Suifeng.
Not to mention the connections he established earlier, even without any other motives, just the sight of him arriving in a Jeep meant that even the gate guards at the family compound didn’t stop him.
However, after finishing his business, he didn’t head back immediately; instead, he went to another family compound—
"Old Zhu!"
Carrying two cans of fruit and knocking on the door of his comrade: "Are you heading back today? Take the car back with you."
This was something he formally requested for use; just happened to coincide with a meritorious service period, so the leadership was agreeable. But now that there’s no other business, he should return it early.
Coincidentally, Old Zhu was on leave at the same time, and this guy had consumed quite a lot of his previous supplies, so it was convenient.
Old Zhu, being only 38 this year, was quite capable at a young age. Now, getting the car keys, his first reaction was—
"Did you bring our sister over?"
"Oh!"
He was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands—
"Old Shi, what’s our relationship? A friendship tested by life and death? Since our sister is here, I should give a welcome gift—do you have time tonight? You have to invite me for a meal, right?"
He’s craving that soybean paste, crispy broad beans, dried pork, and five-spice crackers... it’s been way too long!
But every time something was sent over, there were more monks than gruel, never enough to satisfy his cravings.
Shi Suifeng didn’t really want to bother with him.
"Didn’t you eat quite a bit of what I got last month!"
Old Zhu was not pleased: "Listen to you, how much can I really eat... just tell me if you’re inviting me for a meal tonight!"
In the whole squad, who doesn’t crave Shi Suifeng’s sister’s cooking!
The monthly goodies sent over were practically fought over, and how he regretted not having any brothers, or else he’d definitely have made this sister-in-law enter the family.
—Isn’t she just too virtuous!
Thinking of this, Old Zhu became more justified—
"I mean, come on, you haven’t gone home in so many years, now that our sister is here, shouldn’t you introduce her around? So when anything happens in the future, we can lend a hand!"
They were all part of the previous disaster relief team, but not in the same place. News came back that Shi Suifeng teamed up with a female soldier with great strength, working particularly efficiently...
What’s a competent female soldier compared to a virtuous sister!
"This time on leave there are five or six people, just in Beijing alone there are three, so are you inviting us or not!"
Shi Suifeng could guess what they meant—
They wanted some good food and to see Little He again.
Remembering now those mischievous friends frequently trying to set up his sister, Shi Suifeng suddenly smiled:
"Alright, let’s go, drive over, and when you return to the troop tonight, take the car back."
Old Zhu was overjoyed—
"Can I bring my family? I’ll bring my wife and two kids along!"
He didn’t wait for Shi Suifeng’s response and immediately shouted into the house:
"Da Mao, quickly go to the factory and tell your mom to take leave for the afternoon, we’re going out for a meat feast!"
His wife worked at the union, usually quite idle. Hearing there would be meat, Da Mao dashed off quickly.
Meanwhile, under his arrangement, Er Mao started stuffing things into bags—
Back then, when you were invited for a meal, no one came empty-handed; canned fruit and malted milk, biscuits, snacks, candies, you brought whatever was available, no one stood on ceremony.
It’s just that Old Zhu’s family had some elders in poor health and didn’t have the same rank as Shi Suifeng, relying on previous old connections to not differentiate between ranks after leaving the camp.
