The winter sun shone on his body. Lu Shiyi held the marriage certificate in his left hand, holding his new wife's hand with his right hand, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Let go, we're going to buy a lot of things!" Su Jin reached out to take the marriage certificate, but Lu Shiyi dodged it. "I'll put it in the file bag first and get it framed when I get home."
Su Jin shook her head helplessly: "I'll just take a look at the marriage certificate."
After the young couple obtains their marriage certificate, the Civil Affairs Bureau will issue some marriage tickets, which may include half a pound of sugar tickets and one pound of meat tickets, more than in the past.
Lu Shiyi and Su Jin didn't care about these bills. They had given out 3 kilograms of wedding candy during this period.
"It's only half a pound of sugar tickets. Why don't we not exchange them and put them in the photo frame together with the marriage certificate?" Lu Shiyi wanted to keep everything related to Su Jin.
Su Jin shook her head: "You want to entertain the team members, it would be bad if others saw it."
Lu Shiyi's status is too high, and many people are watching his every move. If he is not careful, he will be caught.
"Xiao Jin, how about we hide these two tickets behind the marriage certificate? No one will see them, and we can leave behind something meaningful." Lu Shiyi and Su Jin got into the military jeep. He put the document bag into the modified confidential box in front of the co-pilot's seat.
Looking at Lu Shiyi's behavior like a little boy, Su Jin couldn't help but think of a saying on the Internet: A man's death is caused by his youth.
"Ayi, we are going to buy meat and sugar. The sisters-in-law must know about it." Su Jin suggested.
Many sisters-in-law have obtained their marriage certificates here, and they are also familiar with the tickets issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Let's buy some more meat for the New Year. I think what we brought from home isn't enough. Let's go into the mountains and see if we can hunt wild boar or something." Lu Shiyi squeezed her little hand. "I asked the butcher to save some offal and a lot of pig's trotters. We'll buy them all back later."
Lu Shiyi placed a bamboo basket at the back of the car and covered it with a layer of oil paper so that he could put the meat in without dirtying the car.
The two got off the car and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Lu Shiyi stood behind Su Jin, holding a bamboo basket in his right hand.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone is preparing ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are empty with no one buying anything.
The butcher's clerk saw Lu Shiyi and took out the pig's trotters and other items he had ordered from behind the counter.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire, comrade. Buy two pork elbows and half a pig." Su Jin took nearly 40 kilograms of meat coupons, which were all saved by the Su family and were about to expire.
"To serve the people, a total of 40 kilograms of meat coupons, 50 yuan, and the things ordered by the Ministry of Land are given to you." The teller looked at Su Jin's generous purchase of meat and happily gave the gifts, "In addition, these bones are also given to you."
Su Jin smiled and said, "All reactionaries are paper tigers, comrade. Here are the notes. Please shave the ribs and chop them into small pieces, and the same with the spine. These are for the wedding banquet."
As soon as the words fell, everyone smiled kindly at the two of them, and a few alert tellers were waiting for customers to come.
Lu Shiyi secretly felt lucky to have brought Su Jin here. He was not good at explaining things, and if he bought so many things without much explanation, he would probably have someone come to his store tomorrow.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me! Comrade, congratulations to you and Lu Bu. You should prepare more meat for the wedding banquet. Lu Bu will invite carnivores, and the whole family will be worried about you." The teller at the meat stall was the younger brother of the logistics squad leader. Seeing that the tellers were not friendly, he helped Su Jin to improve the excuse.
Lu Shiyi nodded at him: "The military and the people are united as one family! My family and my wife's family have saved up a lot of money, so we want to make the wedding banquet more sumptuous."
After he finished speaking, the tellers looked at Su Jin enviously. Lu Shiyi had an outstanding appearance, and the military uniform with four pockets showed that he was an official.
Since my husband's family and my wife's family can come up with so many bills and money, the two families must be of equal status.
The cashier wrapped all the meat in oil paper and put it in a bamboo basket, and then took out three pig tails.
"These are free. I'll give them to you all. I always have them here." The teller whispered, "I'll also attend the wedding banquet when it's time."
Lu Shiyi picked up the bamboo basket with his right hand, not wanting it to dirty his military uniform.
The two returned to the jeep. Su Jin was curious why the teller was so familiar with Lu Shiyi, and why he gave him a lot of things.
"That man is Squad Leader Yang's younger brother. The army helped him find a respectable job as a cashier." Lu Shiyi explained to Su Jin, "Every time the sisters-in-law go to buy meat, he helps them understand the situation."
There are some sisters-in-law who like to take advantage of small opportunities. Everyone knows this. Squad Leader Yang also told his younger brother that if he sees these sisters-in-law in the supply and marketing cooperative, he should deal with them impartially.
The car started moving, and Lu Shiyi led Su Jin to a small alley and stopped.
"I'll take you to the home of an aunt from the Xian tribe for dinner. Their ancestors were royal chefs." When Lu Shiyi saw Su Jin coming, he wanted to take her to eat all the delicious food.
Lu Shiyi's salary is high enough and he has a lot of money, so the two of them can eat whatever they want.
"Ayi, we can't make new clothes this year," Su Jin told Lu Shiyi immediately after seeing him take the cloth coupons.
"No need to save. Many of my sisters-in-law made several sets of clothes when they got married, and then kept them to wear." Lu Shiyi looked at the actions of many of his sisters-in-law. They could be said to be the clothes that Su Jin brought with her as dowry.
Marriage is a big deal. Su Jin is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Moreover, she is the child of a dual-working family, so it is right for her to have more clothes.
"Okay, I'll buy some cloth and make it myself. Can you get me a sewing machine?" When Su Jin was in modern times, she liked to make clothes for her dolls, and she took over her grandmother's sewing machine.
Lu Shiyi nodded: "You can see the sewing machine tomorrow."
The two of them talked as they walked and came to a courtyard with two entrances. Lu Shiyi knocked on the door and took them away.
"Aunt Jin, I'm Xiao Lu. I brought my wife to your house today." Lu Shiyi has a good relationship with Aunt Jin's family.
When I first came to Songjiang Commune, I couldn’t get used to the food in the cafeteria. People in Northeast China use a lot of sauces in their cooking.
"Xiaoyi, are you bringing your new daughter-in-law here today?" Aunt Jin opened the door happily.
Su Jin smiled at Aunt Jin and said, "Aunt Jin, I'm Su Jin."
Aunt Jin let the two of them in, and Su Jin realized that there were already two tables of people eating there.
"Auntie, we only have food from the Xian people here. If you want to come and eat, you can ask Xiaoyi to bring you here." Aunt Jin said happily.
"Auntie, I want barbecue, rice and cold noodles. You can take care of the rest!" Lu Shiyi likes to eat the barbecue here and can eat a lot every time.
Su Jin took the cup and took a sip. When she found out it was barley tea, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Ayi, can we bring some tea home?" Su Jin had tea from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his hand, which was prepared by Su's father.
