Chapter 620: Six hundred and eighteen, submit an application

The car slowly made its way over the somewhat uneven road, and within less than ten minutes, we had already reached the town.

"Wow, this car really is fast! Just a few minutes and we’re already here," the village chief exclaimed, still wanting more time in the car as he got out.

"Let’s go eat first," Luo Shu said to Zhang Xiaoling and the village chief.

"Then let’s go to Jinjin Fast Food," Zhang Xiaoling suggested. She was now very familiar with this town, as the fast food for the workers at the factory was now ordered from Jinjin Fast Food.

"Okay!" Luo Shu agreed.

Fast food, after more than a year, had almost spread across the entire market of Yan Country. Especially for the workers at construction sites, they all chose to eat fast food. It was inexpensive, diverse in dishes, and wouldn’t go cold in winter or spoil in summer.

The three of them entered the fast-food restaurant to find the place doing quite well.

Two Aunties wearing masks were ladling food for a line of customers waiting to order.

"Luo Shu, you take a seat; I’ll get the food," Zhang Xiaoling told Luo Shu. Luo Shu must be tired from working all morning, and with the line so long, it wouldn’t be good if someone bumped into her belly.

"Sure!" Luo Shu didn’t bother being polite with Zhang Xiaoling and took a seat at an empty table.

Zhang Xiaoling looked at the village chief and said with a smile, "Village chief, order whatever you like; don’t be shy with us."

"Sure!" The village chief took a puff from his tobacco pipe, then tucked it into his belt at his waist, and followed Zhang Xiaoling to line up. He had eaten here twice when he came to town for meetings, and the taste of the dishes was quite good.

"Xiao Ling, today’s food for the factory has already been sent over," one of the Aunties mentioned when she saw Zhang Xiaoling in line.

Zhang Xiaoling nodded with a smile, "Aunt Wang, I know, thank you!"

"No need to be so polite! What do you want to eat today?" Aunt Wang asked as she picked up a plate to take Zhang Xiaoling’s order.

"One with braised pork, stir-fried leek eggs, vegetarian chicken, pickled cucumber slices, another with sweet and sour spareribs, stir-fried green pepper and shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and one stewed egg," Zhang Xiaoling finished ordering two sets of meals, then looked at the village chief, "Village chief, what would you like?"

After surveying the dishes on the trays at the front counter, the village chief said, "Then I’ll have one with braised pork, stir-fried leek eggs, stir-fried green pepper and shredded potatoes, and vegetarian chicken."

Zhang Xiaoling took the prepared dishes from Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, please put these three fast food orders on our factory’s tab; I’ll come over again tomorrow to settle the bill all at once."

"Sure!" Aunt Wang readily agreed. The cake factory was located in the town, so she wasn’t worried about Zhang Xiaoling defaulting on the payment.

Zhang Xiaoling brought two plates of food over to Luo Shu, then she went off to get two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup. Here, you serve your own rice and soup, and as long as you don’t take more than three bowls, there’s no charge.

"Luo Shu, do you want to visit the factory later? They practice almost every time they have a break now, and they’ve got quite good at it," Zhang Xiaoling said, sipping her soup.

"The renovation team is coming over this afternoon; I’ll have a look tomorrow," Luo Shu said as she spooned a portion of stewed egg into her mouth. Wang Jinhui was bringing people over by plane, and by the time they finished submitting the paperwork here and headed back, they should be arriving.

"Then after we finish up here, I’ll go straight to the factory. Can you manage on your own?" Zhang Xiaoling asked, slightly worried.

"Hmm!" Luo Shu put down her spoon and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. She thinks it might be her pregnancy making her lose her appetite at the sight of such greasy food.

The village chief glanced at Luo Shu’s leftovers, clearly wanting some but too embarrassed to say it.

Seeing that Luo Shu had only eaten a bit of the stewed egg and hadn’t touched the rest of the food, Zhang Xiaoling frowned slightly and said with concern, "You can’t go on like this; it’s not good for the baby’s development." Though she had never been pregnant herself, she knew the basics.

"I ate too much this morning; I just can’t fit it now. If you don’t mind, why don’t you guys help yourselves to this dish," Luo Shu said, having noticed the village chief’s reluctant expression.

"All right, then!" The village chief, who had been internally debating whether to ask, no longer hesitated when he heard Luo Shu’s offer. He took half of the dish for himself and pushed the remaining half to Zhang Xiaoling.

"Village chief, please have it all; I’ve got enough here," Zhang Xiaoling declined with a smile. She didn’t normally eat much.

"Okay!" The village chief didn’t bother being polite any further and started eating the remaining dishes.

After finishing their meal, the trio headed to the Town Official Residence.

They saw a few villagers in the government office’s hall, lined up at the service counter, busily sorting out their paperwork.

"I’ll go line up," Zhang Xiaoling told Luo Shu before joining the queue.

Since there weren’t many people, Zhang Xiaoling only waited for about five or six minutes before it was her turn. She looked at the staff member behind the counter and said, "Comrade, we are here to submit a land sale application."

The staff member glanced at Zhang Xiaoling and indicated to a stack of documents nearby, signaling her to put her application on it.

Zhang Xiaoling placed her application documents on top of the stack and asked, "Comrade, how long will it take for the application to be approved?" She was used to the attitude of the officials, as the staff at the Business Association had reacted similarly when she went there to handle the factory’s license.

"Wait for notification," the staff member said curtly.

"Comrade, do you have any priority rules for relatives of soldiers? I’m a Guard’s Wife," Zhang Xiaoling mentioned.

Upon hearing that Zhang Xiaoling was a Guard’s Wife, the staff member’s face immediately showed a smile, and they quickly picked up the application Zhang Xiaoling had just put down, "We do have that stipulation here. This is your application, right? I’ll submit it right away for you."

The staff member had no reason to doubt Zhang Xiaoling’s claim, for no one would impersonate a Guard’s Wife, and nobody dared to either. If found out, it would lead to being locked up. In this era, the Yan Country Guard Squad held a high position in people’s hearts.

"Thank you, comrade!" After thanking the staff member, Zhang Xiaoling walked back to Luo Shu.

Noticing the village chief was not with Luo Shu, Zhang Xiaoling asked, "Did the village chief go to the restroom?"

"He went to talk to the town mayor about the land matter, saying it would make the review process faster," Luo Shu replied.

Zhang Xiaoling sat down beside Luo Shu, "Are we going to start building the factory as soon as the land gets approved?" The rented cattle shed was already quite large; if they were to start construction on a factory building, they truly wouldn’t have to worry about space anymore.
