South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 206 Niu Dali Enters Shenzhen

This era is different from later generations. In this era, inheritance of offspring is very important. If a family does not have children, they will probably be laughed at by others.

Zhou's mother had urged Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai to get married many times, but Yuan Mu felt there was no need to rush, and Zhou Zhennan was not in a hurry either, so the matter was put on hold.

Now that Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai have had this kind of relationship, it is estimated that their marriage is likely to be put on the agenda, because they did not take any measures last night. It would be bad if she got pregnant, having a child before marriage, and in a family like Zhou Xiaobai's.

All the dates we talked about before were our ideal wedding dates, but now it seems that I have to re-plan for that night. Otherwise, I should just get married earlier since I have to get married sooner or later anyway.

Soon, the two finished their meal, and Yuan Mu took Zhou Xiaobai out and took her to visit some important attractions.

While Yuan Mu was playing, Niu Dali on the other side went directly to his superior to ask for leave. When the superior heard that he wanted to take a leave for half a month, he was reluctant to agree, but in the end Niu Dali made up an excuse and finally asked for leave.

At that time, everyone was assigned their own job and basically no one could take over the shift. In the end, they persuaded the boiler operator from another shift to take over, and Niu Dali also gave some things to get it done.

On July 22nd, Niu Dali boarded a train to Shenzhen carrying a luggage bag. From this trip, Niu Dali's life and destiny would change drastically, but that is a story for later.

After a journey of three days and two nights, Niu Dali finally arrived in Shenzhen, the city he had been dreaming about day and night. The moment he got off the train and walked out of the station, he was stunned by the prosperity of Shenzhen.

Looking at the people coming and going outside, the vendors hawking their wares, and the clothes worn by the passers-by, he felt as if he had come to another world, which dazzled him.

Looking at other people's fashionable clothes and then looking at his own clothes, Niu Dali realized at this moment how out of date he was. He couldn't help feeling a little inferior.

Soon, Niu Dali found a newsstand with his luggage.

"Hello comrade, I need to make a phone call."

"Okay!" The newsstand owner nodded and pointed at the phone in front of him.

Niu Dali put his luggage on the ground, then took out a piece of paper from his arms. On it was Hou Sanjin's contact number, and he dialed the number.

"Hello, who is that?" Soon, Hou Sanjin's voice came from the phone.

Hearing this, Niu Dali was confused. What the hell was he talking about? Why was he speaking in the same tone as the people on the street?

"Well, hello comrade, I want to look for Comrade Hou Sanjin, is he here?" Niu Dali asked carefully.

There was a brief pause on the phone, and then a familiar northeastern accent appeared.

"I'm Hou Sanjin! Who are you?"

"Hey, Brother Sanjin! I'm Dali! Do you still remember me?" Hearing this, Niu Dali became excited instantly.

"Oh my God! Dali! You've arrived in Shenzhen? Where are you? Brother Yuan has already greeted me and has been waiting for you!" Hou Sanjin's tone was very enthusiastic.

"Brother Sanjin, I'm in a small pavilion next to the train station."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll pick you up right away. Did you see the big yellow sign next to the train station?"

"Ah, I saw it."

"Just stand under that sign. I estimate you'll be there in about half an hour."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Niu Dali agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Niu Dali walked to the big yellow sign and waited quietly. At this moment, a fragrance wafted over and Niu Dali's stomach instantly growled. He followed the smell and saw a food stall where the chef was frying something.

Niu Dali thought about it and realized that there was still about half an hour left, so he walked to the food stall and ordered a plate of fried noodles.

About half an hour later, a man wearing a neat suit and shiny leather shoes appeared in front of Niu Dali.

Niu Dali carefully observed the person in front of him. It seemed that it was really Hou Sanjin, but wasn’t his outfit too nice?

"Brother Sanjin?" Niu Dali called out tentatively.

"Oh, Dali! We haven't seen each other for a long time. What's wrong? You don't recognize me?" Hou Sanjin walked up to Niu Dali and said with a laugh.

"You know what, I really couldn't recognize you. What kind of clothes are you wearing? It's so nice!" Niu Dali said as he looked up and down at Hou Sanjin's suit.

"This clothing is called a suit, and that's what all businessmen wear now!" Hou Sanjin explained with a smile.

"Let's go, let's not talk about this for now. If you really like it, I'll give you a set!" Hou Sanjin said, patting his chest.

"Is it true?" Upon hearing this, Niu Dali's eyes lit up instantly.

"Then you see, can I still lie to you? Come on, I'll take you to eat first!" As he said that, Hou Sanjin put his arm around Niu Dali's shoulder and walked outside.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked to a truck.

"Come on, get in!" Hou Sanjin opened the door of the truck and said.

In this day and age, sedans are still rare, and even if they are available, they are too expensive. He still has a few factory trucks, but except for one that he bought, the rest are leased.

"Brother Sanjin, is this your car?" Niu Dali pointed at the truck in front of him and asked in surprise.

"Hey! It's not worth mentioning. It's hard to buy a car now, otherwise I would buy one. This thing is too inconvenient for traveling." Hou Sanjin waved his hand indifferently.

"Oh my God!" Niu Dali was even more surprised when he heard this.

Soon, the two arrived at a big restaurant nearby. Niu Dali was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around and finding everything new and interesting.

"Da Li, how about this place? It's nice, right?" Hou Sanjin said with a smile.

"This place is so great, but is it too expensive?" Niu Dali asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, no matter how expensive it is, when you come to Shenzhen, I must make good arrangements for you. Let's eat first, and I'll take you to see the factory later!" Hou Sanjin patted Niu Dali's shoulder, and then the two of them came to a private room.

Niu Dali looked at the environment in the private room, the table, the tablecloth, and the tableware on it. Everything felt very novel to him because he had never seen them before.

"Dali, take a look at what you want to eat and order whatever you want. I'll treat you!" Hou Sanjin took the menu handed over by the waiter and pushed it in front of Niu Dali and said with a smile.

"Brother Sanjin, you order. I'm fine with anything." Niu Dali smiled awkwardly. How could he order food?
