Chapter 706 Could it be him?

Qinjia Village is originally a village in the city, and the restaurant is not far away, so the group walked there.

Just as they entered the main road in the city, Lin Chuxia was listening to Hou Xiaobao talking on the side, when a figure in the distance immediately caught Lin Chuxia’s attention.

“You go first,” Lin Chuxia said this and quickly chased after them.

However, the figure entered an alley, and when Lin Chuxia chased after it, there was no one there.

Lin Chuxia walked a little further in and found that there were houses all around. Further in, it was not a dead end but a small market.

Just as I was hesitating whether to go further in, Hou Xiaobao caught up with me.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Lin?”

Lin Chuxia saw him coming over alone, “Where are they?”

“Manager Wang has taken them to the restaurant first. Mr. Lin, is there anything I can help you with?” He glanced at the end of the alley and continued, “That’s the small market on West Street. They sell everything and there are all kinds of people. Is there anything you’re looking for?”

Lin Chuxia had heard of this small market. The black market was here before the reform and opening up.

The alleys here are interconnected, so it is easier to escape if you are discovered by inspectors.

Later, the market was liberalized and people went to the government-designated markets to sell things openly, but this side was also not peaceful. Some people would trade things here that were inconvenient to sell on the market.

She shook her head. “There’s nothing to look for. Let’s go.”

As she spoke, she looked towards the end of the alley again.

Could it be him?

The glance just now was not clear, I just felt that the figure was very similar to Gu Peng.

Has he arrived in Ancheng?
Lin Chuxia felt that this was possible. After all, she had met Gu Peng in Ancheng in her previous life.

Then she thought maybe she had seen it wrong. How could it be such a coincidence that he appeared before her just when she was looking for him?

Arriving at the hotel, Lin Chuxia put those thoughts behind her.

She will stay in Ancheng for a while and will look for it when she has time.

When I looked up, I saw those people looking at me stiffly, especially the youngsters who didn’t even dare to sit down. I smiled slightly.

She asked Qin Jianshe to help her take care of several people and she tried not to interfere.

When it comes to eating, you should feel relaxed and comfortable.

You can chat about anything, or even work, at the dinner table, but you can’t make people feel uncomfortable.

Hou Xiaobao obviously knew Lin Chuxia’s temper, and he was the most relaxed during the whole meal.

From now on he is the captain of the team, these people are his subordinates, and he really needs to take care of the overall situation.

There was no mention of work at the table, only emotional exchanges.

When Hou Xiaobao returned home after lunch, he still felt unsatisfied.

His unsatisfied feeling was not directed at others, but at Lin Chuxia.

Speaking of which, Hou Xiaobao hasn’t seen Lin Chuxia for a while. Even the promotion of him to team captain was told to him by Lin Chuxia over the phone.

Hou Xiaobao felt that he had a lot to say to Lin Chuxia. He spent so much time on eating that he had to deal with other people and had no time to communicate with Lin Chuxia. Hou Xiaobao always felt good about himself and thought that his relationship with Lin Chuxia was different from the superior-subordinate relationship that other people had with Lin Chuxia.

Among these people, he and Lin Chuxia knew each other the earliest. Even Su Wensong got to know Lin Chuxia only after he helped Lin Chuxia beat him up.

Without his appearance, would Su Wensong be able to embrace the big tree of Mr. Lin? Would he be able to marry Sun Lanlan?

Not only did he become acquainted with General Lin, but General Lin also recognized his talent and led him onto the right path.

He also taught him how to drive and do business, and helped him find a wife.

It can be said that Lin Chuxia is his adoptive parent.

The relationship between the son and his parents is naturally close.

Lin Chuxia also realized that Hou Xiaobao still had something to say to her, but to be honest, she quite enjoyed chatting with the monkey.

After returning to the market, she was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she went to check the arrangements in Monkey’s office and asked about the situation of Liu Na and her son.

This question opened up his mouth and Hou Xiaobao spoke with great excitement, and Lin Chuxia was also happy to hear it.

“Do you want me to help you find someone to arrange a house?” Lin Chuxia asked.

It has been more than a year since Hou Xiaobao left Ancheng County. In recent years, policies have developed rapidly in various places, especially in the real estate sector. Private house transactions are much more casual than when she bought the house.

Once buying and selling are liberalized, various traps will follow.

“No need, Mr. Lin. I’ll take care of it myself. Nana knows that the team has just been established and I have a lot of work to do, so there’s no rush to come. She said it’s best to wait until the weather is warmer so that the child is older and less likely to get sick in a different environment. Also, I want to be neighbors with Brother Liang. Even if we can’t be neighbors, it’s better to live closer. You know I’m helpless, and only Aunt Jia and Brother Liang treat me as a family. Of course, now that I have a sister-in-law, I thought that since I chose to live here, I should live closer so that I can take care of myself in the future.”

Lin Chuxia smiled, “Jia Liang and the others are not in Ancheng now. Even if you become their neighbors, how can you take care of them? I think you might as well settle down in Qinjia Village and wait for me to take care of you.”

Hou Xiaobao also laughed, “That’s great. Even if I have a non-agricultural household registration, I can’t live in your village. Otherwise, you can talk to the village chief and see if you can register me as an agricultural household in Qinjia Village. From now on, I will be a member of your Qinjia Village.”

Of course, no one would take this to heart.

Not to mention that the current policy does not allow it. Even if the green light is given and his household registration is really moved to Qinjia Village, it will be far less easier for his family to adapt to living in Qinjia Village than in the city.

The villagers have lived here for generations, and their relationships are complex and intertwined.

If you are an outsider, it would be difficult to integrate into such an atmosphere.

It will take several generations of effort.

This situation does not exist in the city, especially in some newly developed areas. When you buy a piece of land and build a few houses, everyone is an outsider and no one looks down on anyone else.

On the contrary, in order to make life more convenient in the future, neighbors will take care of each other.

……………………

When Lin Chuxia returned, she met Zhang Guilan who was coming back from get off work.

Even though it’s already evening, the bun shop doesn’t close until 8 o’clock every day.

Zhang Guilan seldom comes back so early.

Seeing that she looked a little strange, Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?”

Zhang Guilan was also surprised to run into Lin Chuxia here, and she couldn’t wait to pull Lin Chuxia aside to talk to her.

“Yes, there is something. At noon today, I heard from a customer who came to eat in the shop that the police arrested a lot of people on West Street last night. Guess what, Zhang Wenbin was among them. After hearing this news, I asked the shop assistant to go out and ask around. Just now, the shop assistant came back and told me that it has been confirmed that Zhang Wenbin’s grandson was arrested by the police last night. I heard that he was smuggling something. Anyway, he has committed a crime and may be sentenced to several years in prison.”
