Chapter 108 Household Registration

Because Lin Ping was getting married, relatives and friends came to congratulate her, and the Lin family was lively for several days.

On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Ting brought his son, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law to attend Lin Ping's wedding as guests of honor, and Wang Shan was also brought there.

The wedding was lively and grand, which showed how much Yang Zhefeng's family valued Lin Ping, and the Lin family was very satisfied with it. The only pity is that according to the traditional customs of Hunan Province, Zhou Qing cannot attend the wedding and witness his daughter's happiness.

After the wedding, the Lin family was busy preparing for the return banquet two days later, but Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren were unable to help.

This time when I returned to my hometown, in addition to attending my sister's wedding, the most important thing was to move the household registration of our family of three to Pengcheng.

Because I had already obtained the household registration transfer permit in Pengcheng, the household registration transfer procedures when I returned to my hometown were not complicated this time.

The day I went to move my household registration happened to be the day when there was a market in town.

On the market day, the market becomes lively from dawn. Shops open their doors early in the morning, small vendors put their goods on the stalls early, and farmers carrying vegetables or local products also come early to grab a good spot.

As soon as I arrived at the street corner, I smelled the aroma of food.

Wang Shan was held by her father. She was half sleepy but woke up instantly when she smelled the fragrance.

"Mom, do you want to eat that?" Wang Shan pointed at the stall selling fried sesame balls.

"You little greedy cat!"

Lin Qiu scratched her nose, walked to the stall and handed over fifty cents.

The boss took the fifty cents, took a sharpened bamboo stick, strung five of them together like candied haws, and handed them to Lin Qiu.

The golden sesame balls are dotted with white sesame seeds, giving off a sweet aroma.

Lin Qiu broke off the pointed end of the skewer and held the sesame balls to his daughter's mouth.

Wang Shan opened her mouth wide and took a bite. She could taste the fragrance of sesame, the softness of glutinous rice, and the sweetness of red bean paste.

"tasty!"

Wang Shan, with puffy lips, gave a thumbs up while chewing sesame balls.

Lin Qiu was also greedy, so he bit off a sesame ball and passed the skewer to Wang Xiuren's mouth, "This sesame ball is fried well, you should try it too!"

Wang Xiuren lowered his head and tasted a string of sesame balls with his wife and daughter.

"When I was a little girl at home, Pingping and I would often come here to eat!" Lin Qiu looked at the bustling crowd with nostalgia, "At that time, we would always buy a few sesame balls and share them with Pingping."

"At that time, I often came here to buy food, but I didn't have much money in my pocket, so I could only look around!" Wang Xiuren chewed sesame balls and recalled the past. "After that, I made money, but I didn't have many opportunities to buy food. I still remember that the meat buns at Li Mazi's bun shop were the most delicious. I could eat six in one go!"

Lin Qiu looked at Wang Xiuren who looked yearning and suggested, "Then let's go eat the buns at Li Mazi's house!"

"Buy two more bowls of tofu pudding, otherwise you'll choke if you eat the buns dry!" Wang Xiuren agreed to the suggestion as soon as he heard it.

Li Mazi’s buns are really well made, with thin skin, big fillings, and covered in soup.

Wang Xiuren ordered eight buns, filling the stomachs of his family of three.

"Hic~"

Wang Shan burped loudly.

Lin Qiu touched her stomach and said, "Don't eat any more!"

He then took her outside to help digest the food.

As a result, Wang Shan couldn't walk anymore when she saw the candied haws on the street corner.

"Hawthorn promotes digestion, so why not buy her a bunch?" Wang Xiuren couldn't resist his daughter's eager eyes.

Wang Shan also looked at her mother eagerly.

"Oh, go ahead!" Lin Qiu waved his hand.

So, Wang Shan walked into the police station holding her mother's hand and eating a candied haws.

The police station in the town was very simple, with only two windows.

Wang Xiuren walked over and said, "Sister, which window should I go to for household registration transfer?"

The worker sitting inside knitting a sweater didn’t even look up, “The one next to him!”

Wang Xiuren took his household registration booklet and relocation permit and walked to the next window with his wife and daughter.

The staff member picked up the ID card, marriage certificate, household registration booklet and permit to move and checked them carefully. After learning that the family of three had moved to Pengcheng, he looked up at Wang Xiuren.

After confirmation, stamp the household registration booklet and register it.

Wang Xiuren carefully put away all the documents, then led his wife and daughter out of the police station.

After finishing the most important thing, the family of three did not stay any longer. They bought a few more strings of candied haws and hurried back to Linguan.

Since the Lin family is holding a return banquet tomorrow, the relatives will basically start eating at the Lin family from today, so there are people sitting everywhere in the hall.

Lin Qiu greeted everyone along the way, his face almost frozen with smiles, before he escaped from the care and inquiries of his relatives and ran to the bamboo forest in the backyard.

Wang Xiuren took his daughter to distribute candied haws to his nephews and nieces.

"Are you scared?" Lin Li followed him, "Has it been a long time since you've seen so many relatives?"

Lin Qiu was still frightened, "You were never this enthusiastic towards me before?"

"Isn't it because I see that you've become successful?" Lin Li said casually, paused, and then asked: "How is it in Pengcheng?"

Lin Qiu had nothing to hide from his younger brother. "I rented a newsstand, and your brother-in-law also started to take on some small construction sites and bought a house. This time he came back to transfer his household registration there."

Lin Li didn’t expect that among the four brothers and sisters, Lin Qiu was the one who developed the best. He smiled self-deprecatingly: “Sure enough, he has developed, unlike me!”

"In this world, as long as you work hard, you will get what you want!" Lin Qiu didn't know how to respond and could only utter these few words.

Lin Li was also embarrassed for her. They were brothers and sisters who once loved each other so much, but they gradually drifted apart without knowing when.

"After the Chinese New Year, Liu Xiang will go to Foshi City with her sister-in-law, and I also plan to follow her cousin to build the Three Gorges Dam."

"What about Minmin and Ruirui?"

Lin Li sighed vaguely, "Liu Xiang's mother is willing to help me look after the child, 200 yuan a month."

No one wants to leave their children behind, but there is no other way. Farming and working at home can hardly save much money in a year.

Especially after meeting Lin Qiu's family this time, I can clearly feel the gap between myself and her, and the gap between Minmin, Ruirui and Shanshan.

He doesn't want to be inferior to others, and he doesn't want his children to be inferior to others.

So now that someone is willing to take them out, they are definitely willing to give it a try.

For myself, and even more for my children.

Lin Qiu pursed his lips, "You weren't like this before!"

Lin Li knew that his elder sister and younger sister still had a grudge against him and Liu Xiang because of the previous incident. "Sister, I'm 28 years old now. I'm not only a son and brother, but also a husband and a father!"

"I know you all think I'm unfilial and selfish, and I admit all that. I also know Liu Xiang's faults, but I have no right to criticize her. She did everything for me, for our two children, and for this family. In the end, I'm still incompetent and can only focus on Dad's hands."

Lin Li lowered his head and covered his face.

Lin Qiu felt a little sad when he saw his hunched back. "You can go out and work hard, but you still have to pay attention to safety. Dam repair is not like other jobs. You have to be alert all the time."

Hearing this, Lin Li wiped his face fiercely and said, "I know. I will protect myself well."

Then he raised his head and chest and said: "One day, I will be rich!"

Lin Qiu also hopes that his dream will come true, "Yes! You will become rich!"

The conversation between the brother and sister was heard clearly by Lin Ting who was standing at the back door.

After all, he was his own son, and Lin Li’s words also made him feel distressed. But no matter what the reason, doing something wrong is doing something wrong.

Lin Li is willing to change. He is willing to give suggestions where necessary and he will do his best to help where necessary. Of course, if Lin Li becomes successful one day, he will be sincerely happy for him.

Although he was heartbroken by Lin Li, he still hoped that he would live a good life, simply because Lin Li was his son.
