Several hours later, they finally got to give their names. Feng Xintong looked at Gu Ningzhi, whose face was flushed from the sun, and felt a little guilty. "Gu Ningzhi, let's go buy some soda!"
"Okay." Gu Ningzhi was really hot and hoped that this would move Feng Xintong.
If Gu Ningzhi falls in love three times and fails each time, then he really has nothing to say.
The two bought soda and stood under the tree drinking the chilled soda. They needed to return the bottle later, so they couldn't go back right now.
Thinking about how many people had signed up, Feng Xintong frowned with worry. "With so many people applying for the exam, I don't know if I can pass."
“I have a way to help you pass the exam,” Gu Ningzhi said in a low voice.
"What method?" Feng Xintong raised her eyebrows in surprise. Did Gu Ningzhi really have such great ability?
"Feng Xintong, as long as you marry me, I guarantee you'll pass the exam." Gu Ningzhi looked at Feng Xintong. "I will only help my own people."
He couldn't possibly go to great lengths to help Feng Xintong only to have her marry someone else, could he? Wouldn't that be like doing all the work for someone else's benefit?
Feng Xintong knew that Gu Ningzhi liked her, and he had just stood in line for her, enduring the sun for so long without a single complaint. He was truly wonderful, and it wasn't easy to meet a man like him. Feng Xintong didn't want to miss out, so she blushed and nodded, "Gu Ningzhi, I'm willing to marry you."
Gu Ningzhi was thrilled. "You have your letter of introduction with you, so let's go get our marriage certificate now. That way you won't have to go back to your hometown. You can just transfer your household registration after you get a job."
Feng Xintong nodded.
Afterwards, Gu Ningzhi quickly took Feng Xintong to get their marriage certificate. If they waited until the office was closed, they would have to wait until tomorrow. Gu Ningzhi was also afraid that Feng Xintong might not want to get married again after a night.
Having obtained the marriage certificate, Gu Ningzhi felt relieved. Afterwards, he took Feng Xintong to the department store to buy things. Without his parents' involvement, he didn't need to prepare anything like a three-turn-one-ring or a lot of legwork. However, he couldn't leave Feng Xintong with nothing. He would make up for it to her slowly in the future. After all, Feng Xintong was the person who moved him, and he didn't want to let her down.
They made the decision on the spur of the moment, and didn't go home to get anything. Gu Ningzhi didn't have that much money on him, so he bought two dresses for Feng Xintong.
The rest of the items will have to wait until next time to buy them.
Today, the two of them went to queue up to register, then to pick up their certificates, and then to the department store. After running around like that, they were really tired and hot. When they got home, Gu Ningzhi immediately took Feng Xintong to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to wash up.
There were no women's shower rooms available, so Gu Ningzhi could only go inside to take a look first. After confirming that no one was inside, he let Feng Xintong go wash up while he stood outside. After Feng Xintong finished washing up, he took her back inside before going inside to take a shower himself.
After Gu Ningzhi finished washing up and returned, he said to Feng Xintong, "Once you start working at the furniture factory, we'll rent or buy a house near the factory. That way, it will be much more convenient for us to live here."
Seeing Gu Ningzhi speak so confidently and generously, Feng Xintong knew that he must be quite well-off, and she was very happy.
Gu Ningzhi drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness...
Feng Xintong suddenly remembered something and looked up at Gu Ningzhi abruptly, "I don't need to go back to the team today. Shouldn't I tell the captain? Otherwise, the captain will think I'm skipping work without reason and will definitely be furious."
“I’ll take you to make the call, but don’t reveal anything about work or marriage yet, otherwise…” Gu Ningzhi said.
His main concern was that he didn't dare let Yang Liling know about his marriage to Feng Xintong. Otherwise, Yang Liling might say something inappropriate to Feng Xintong. They had finally gotten married, and Gu Ningzhi didn't want any more accidents to happen.
Feng Xintong nodded. She couldn't reveal it before it was done, otherwise someone else might steal it. Besides, she was already married and would be living with Gu Ningzhi from now on, so she wouldn't have anything to do with anyone else and naturally didn't need to tell anyone.
All she has to do now is wait for the exam. Once she passes, she can go back and pack her things quietly so no one will know and she won't be jealous of others.
Gu Ningzhi took Feng Xintong to make a phone call. Feng Xintong told Captain Qian that she had something to do and would not be returning to the Harvest Brigade for the time being, without revealing much about herself.
Yan Lili stayed at Wenxi's house for seven days. Jiang Yue was afraid that something might happen to Yan Lili in the blink of an eye, so she followed Yan Lili almost the whole time and dared not relax for a moment.
Even when Yan Lili played with the children in the team, she would follow and watch from a distance. Now she knew how hard and stressful it was to take care of other people's children, and she would never take care of anyone's children again.
When Yan's mother came to pick Yan Lili up, Yan Lili was so engrossed in playing that she didn't want to go back. After all, she didn't have to do homework in the countryside and played with her friends every day, having a wonderful time.
Mother Yan knew how hard it was to take care of the child, so she brought two pounds of pork belly, two pig trotters, and a whole set of pig offal with her. She originally wanted to buy pig liver and pig stomach separately, but found that buying the whole set was more cost-effective, so she bought the whole set.
Moreover, she and Yan Lili can only go back when it gets cooler in the evening, so they should be able to have two meals. They should buy more vegetables so they can have enough to eat!
Wenxi thought so too. As soon as Yan's mother arrived home, she quickly called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue over. The three of them worked together to prepare the pig offal and stew it early so they could eat it sooner in the afternoon.
Seeing the pig's stomach, Wenxi decided to make a pig's stomach and chicken dish for lunch, otherwise there would be nothing to eat. So Wenxi told Shen Jiaojiao that she would go to a villager's house to exchange for an old hen. Half an hour later, Wenxi returned with an old hen that had already been processed.
She herself doesn't know how much she's hoarded, so there's really no need for her to go to someone else's store to exchange it.
Shen Jiaojiao and the others assumed that Wenxi had traded it from someone else's house, so they didn't say much. Wenxi washed the chicken, chopped it into pieces, and went to the kitchen to cook rice and make pork tripe and chicken soup.
Wenxi also took out a few salted fish from the jar, washed off the saltiness with warm water, and prepared a braised fish dish for lunch.
After lunch was prepared, the three of them carried the food to the octagonal table in the main room. The kitchen was too hot to eat in. Today's lunch consisted of pork tripe and chicken, braised fish, stir-fried green peppers with pork, stir-fried cowpeas with pork, braised eggplant, and loofah and minced pork soup.
Wenxi was afraid that Yan's mother would mistakenly think that they had kept the meat, so she cooked two catties of pork belly at noon. She had all kinds of meat in her warehouse and really didn't covet other people's things.
After Wenxi finished cooking all the dishes, she quickly washed the iron pot and then put the braised food into the pot, so they could smell the aroma from the kitchen when they ate lunch.
