Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 35 Settlement
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up: Not bad, kid, you've finally shown some intelligence.

"Yes, Qianjin's idea is excellent!"

Grandpa Fu's original purpose in calling them back was to protect her safety; how could we put the cart before the horse?

Although he was far from Beijing and his reach was limited, Xu Zixin couldn't let his guard down.

In case something happens...

Bah, bah, bah!
Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it's best to do as Mao Qianjin suggested.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao, believe me. I can't say or explain the specific reasons, but I have carefully considered and thought about this matter."

Su Ning put down his chopsticks, his face and eyes filled with seriousness.

Considering their questions and my own concerns, I quickly thought it over before speaking again.

"How about this, the transport team in Yong County can be changed to the same unit as mine, namely the transport team of the textile factory?"

In other words, the transport team and the eight key personnel of the Red Flag Commune were a necessary arrangement?
Zhang Ze lowered his head and remained silent, unable to understand what connection could exist between these things.

Ningning seemed to be playing a game of chess, but the game wasn't aimed at the person who posed the greatest threat to her.

However… since I promised the old man and am still receiving her salary, I'll just have to follow her arrangements.

Fortunately, after switching to the same unit, the textile factory's transportation team mostly went out on business together with the purchasing department staff.

“Okay, then I’ll go to the textile factory’s transport team, and Qianjin will go to the Red Flag Commune.”

After glancing at Su Ning and then turning to Zhang Ze, Mao Qianjin scratched the back of his head. Since the two smart people had made their decisions, he, the simple-minded one, would just listen.

"Okay, I have no objection."

"Before the work is officially settled, let's have Brother Zhang and Brother Mao bring their families over as we agreed before."

"Okay, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow, Ningning, after you've settled your accommodation and job before we set off."

After discussing their business and finishing their meal, Zhang Ze and his companion cleared the table, packed their lunchboxes and plates, and headed out.

……

The next morning, Zhang Ze took Su Ning to the textile factory to complete her onboarding process.

With the quotas in place, the supporting documentation complete, and prior arrangements made by higher authorities, things naturally proceeded smoothly.

"Officer Su, welcome to our textile factory family."

"Thank you, Director He."

After receiving the work badge and employment form from him, Su Ning thanked him politely and left with a smile after confirming her work hours.

When Zhang Ze, who was waiting outside the factory, saw her stride out with her head held high, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette.

The two continued their journey without stopping to the two separate courtyards, one large and one small, in the ancient city.

I was dumbfounded when I finally found out the exact address. It turned out that the textile factory was on Lishuihe North Main Street, while the two courtyards were on Nanmen Street across the river.

Even though the old town is not large, it still takes more than half an hour to commute by bicycle.

Zhang Ze himself has no problem; he can manage to run there every day. But Su Ning...

“Ningning, you…”

I've been smart since I was little, and my hands-on and comprehension skills are also top-notch.

Unfortunately, I just wasn't good at sports. When I was a kid, I struggled even with the simplest game of jump rope. My physical fitness was terrible.

As if afraid he would recall the embarrassing incident from his childhood at the Fu family home, where he and his sister Fu Ying jumped rope until they were all wrapped up like dumplings, Su Ning awkwardly turned her head away and quickly interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Let's go take a look first. I'm fine with riding a bike; it'll be good exercise too." "That's right, let's go to Nanmen Street then."

The old market has four stone bridges spanning the river, making transportation between the two streets relatively convenient. The biggest difference between the north and south sides may lie in the riverside building complexes.

The four streets in Beizheng are located in the city center and are relatively prosperous. Before the construction of the new city, wealthy families built their houses along the river in this area, resulting in the largest number of stilted ancient buildings remaining in a relatively concentrated manner.

The streets south of the gate are occupied by various government compounds, factory staff quarters, and self-built residential courtyards that were developed later, creating a stark contrast between the two sides of the river.

South Gate First Street is right next to Lishui, with two courtyards, one large and one small, separated by only two households.

The larger one has four main rooms and three side rooms, with a yard in front and a vegetable garden in the back.

The smaller one only has two main rooms and two side rooms. Although it doesn't have a backyard, its front yard is large enough.

Suning really likes this little courtyard. It's big enough for one person. Not only is there a well outside the room next to the kitchen, but the toilet on the other side has a cement floor, making it look very clean and hygienic.

If we plant some flowers and fruit trees in the yard, it will look even better.

"They took good care of the house."

As Su Ning spoke, she pointed to the small courtyard, "Then I'll stay here. Brother Zhang, you and your wife can stay in the big room. Don't fight me for it! I like this little courtyard, hehe~"

"Okay, it's up to you."

Besides my mother, my wife and I have two mischievous boys at home, so it would be nice if we could have a bigger place to live.

Zhang Ze was very grateful and glad that he had agreed to Mr. Fu's request without hesitation.

Now, Ningning not only gives him such a high salary, but also allows him to bring his family to the city to live a better life.

Since he and Mao Qianjin left their workplace because of that incident, his mother and wife haven't blamed him at all, and he's never regretted it, only felt guilty...

I feel guilty that even though I work my hardest to earn full work points, they still don't have enough to eat or wear.

"Ningning, thank you."

"Brother Zhang?"

"It's alright, let's go. I know the place. Wait for me at the guesthouse, and Qianjin and I will come over to repair and tidy it up, and try to finish before dark."

Zhang Ze cleared his throat, suppressing the jumbled thoughts in his mind. "After all, no one has lived here for a long time, and it's not far from Shanhe. We need to thoroughly fumigate the house inside and out. It will be dirty and messy when it gets there. Ningning, you can just wait at the guesthouse."

Knowing what she meant by "xunxun," Su Ning's scalp tingled at the thought. Afraid of anything soft or slippery, she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

Just then, they came to tidy up the house, so she went to wander around as well.

The job she had agreed upon with Grandpa Fu before leaving has now changed. She needs to see if she can get it done on her own without relying on connections. If not, she should call Grandpa Fu in advance to explain.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, remember to buy two new locks and replace them when the time comes."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll remember."

"Do we have enough money and coupons?"

"It's enough. We haven't even used up the ones you gave us before."

As they talked, they closed and locked the door again, then left one after the other.

……

Mao Qianjin, who was guarding the luggage at the guesthouse, was so bored that he just stood there stiffly and motionless in front of the window.

Suddenly, he leaned forward a bit, and when he confirmed that it was Su Ning and Zhang Ze walking towards him from a distance, he realized that they were indeed Su Ning and Zhang Ze.

His expressionless face, which usually exudes a fierce aura, instantly broke down, and his mouth involuntarily grinned, revealing his signature goofy smile.

Thank you everyone for your votes! Hugs and love!
