Ye Qingshui tried to pull Xie Tingyu away, but couldn't move him anymore. He looked at him in confusion.
Xie Tingyu coughed lightly and suggested, "No hurry, go home and change your clothes before going."
You have to take photos when getting married. Xie Tingyu couldn't accept wearing so little and hastily going to get the marriage certificate on such an important day.
Ye Qingshui glanced at him. He was wearing a green military coat. Although it was a thick cotton coat, he wore it straight and slender, looking energetic. Coupled with his good looks, he looked very manly.
Where do I need to change clothes?
Ye Qingshui took the last exam in the morning. Thinking that there was still early, she indulged the man's nitpicking habit.
After taking his time to change into new clothes, Xie Tingyu put on a neatly ironed Zhongshan suit and combed his hair into a slicked back bun. Looking in the mirror, he looked pretty good. He smoothed the hair on the sides of his temples before walking out.
Mother Ye was carrying half a bucket of millet to feed the chickens with a smile on her face when she suddenly bumped into her son-in-law and was startled.
"Xiao Xie, why are you so energetic? What are you going to do?"
Mother Ye was almost blinded by her son-in-law. She knew that her son-in-law was quite good-looking, but he usually didn't take good care of himself. After he dressed up a little, Mother Ye almost didn't recognize her son-in-law.
The saying that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse is indeed true.
Normally, Xie Tingyu was just a good-looking educated youth in the countryside, but after this treatment, he became as handsome as a movie star. His appearance suddenly improved.
Xie Tingyu was so elated that he said gently, "Go get the marriage certificate with Shuiya."
Ye Qingshui combed her hair, changed into clean clothes, and went out with a few freshly baked meat buns in her pocket.
When she saw Xie Tingyu, she was stunned.
She was simply stunned.
Xie Tingyu extended his warm big hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
Ye Qingshui put the hot buns in his schoolbag, sat in the back seat of his car, and said weakly: "Brother Yu looks really energetic."
She looked at her own outfit, which was so plain and bland that she looked like a maid standing next to him.
Xie Tingyu couldn't help but curl his lips, his heart bubbling with happiness.
"The clothes made by Shui'er are beautiful."
Wasn't the clothes he was wearing the one his wife had made overnight during the Spring Festival? The not-too-thick fabric clung to his body, making him feel warm.
"Are you cold?" Ye Qingshui leaned on his broad back and asked him.
This dress is supposed to be worn in spring, but is it too thin now? Xie Tingyu felt so sweet that even the cold wind blowing in his face seemed warm.
"It's not cold, it's very warm!"
He is strong and not afraid of playing snowballs even in short sleeves.
After riding for most of the day, they arrived at the Hongqi County Revolutionary Committee to register their marriage.
There were several other couples getting married on the same day, but Xie Tingyu's couple had the most outstanding looks, especially the groom, who had starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and was as cold as the snow on the mountains. However, his triumphant and happy expression melted the ice, leaving people stunned.
"He is more handsome than the male lead in the movie!" the unmarried girl thought silently in her heart. She felt dizzy when she looked at him more carefully.
He rode a Phoenix brand bicycle, wore a watch worth several hundred dollars, and dressed in a respectable and neat Zhongshan suit. Such rigid conditions made all the men who got their marriage certificates today look better than him.
The woman who was about to get the marriage certificate withdrew her gaze enviously.
But the "male protagonist" stopped, put his arm around his wife, lowered his head as if saying some sweet words, which made his wife's face turn slightly red.
Where can I find such a good partner!
Even the old lady in charge of marriage registration at the Revolutionary Committee couldn't help but take a few more glances. Her heart was pounding. She felt much better after looking at the newlyweds a few more times.
When Ye Qingshui heard the inappropriate and nonsense words Xie Tingyu said, he wanted to throw him outside to blow in the cold wind.
Xie Tingyu said: "Why are you staring at me? I'll let you stare enough when I get back. Now look at the road..."
He grabbed his wife who almost hit the door and shook his head helplessly.
The queue was a bit long, so Ye Qingshui took out a hot meat bun from his schoolbag and asked him, "Are you hungry?"
Xie Tingyu was so happy in his heart that he didn't even feel hungry.
But he enjoyed being fed by his wife. He spread out his palms helplessly and said, "My hands are not very clean."
Ye Qingshui tore the bun open and fed it into his mouth piece by piece.
The newlyweds queuing with them had long faces. Being fed dog food was not enough, and their stomachs were also tormented at mealtime.
The big meat bun gave off a strong aroma, and when the wind blew, everyone in the room could smell it.
It is simply unbearable for newlyweds who have to queue up to get their marriage certificate without having eaten a full meal. The aroma of meat makes their stomachs full of appetite.
Xie Tingyu finished eating three meat buns, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then helped his wife wipe her mouth. Then it was their turn to get the certificate.
Today's marriage certificate is like a certificate of merit. He read from the certificate: "Xie Tingyu, 21 years old. Ye Qingshui, 18 years old, voluntarily marry. After examination, it complies with the provisions of the Chinese Marriage Law on marriage. This certificate is hereby issued."
He took out a handful of wedding candies from his arms and gave one to everyone he met. After distributing the wedding candies, he walked out of the Revolutionary Committee with his wife, looking very proud.
Although they have been married for more than a year, Xie Tingyu only felt a sense of relief after receiving the marriage certificate today.
The other newlyweds breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Qingshui and his wife finally get their marriage certificate and leave.
After Xie Tingyu took his wife out of the Revolutionary Committee, he took her to take wedding photos.
Ye Qingshui said: "Didn't we take a photo during the Chinese New Year?"
Xie Tingyu said confidently: "How can they be the same? The photos taken during the Chinese New Year are commemorative photos, and the photos taken today are wedding photos."
Why is it different? Ye Qingshui looked at him.
Xie Tingyu said: "Today is the day we legally establish our marriage. I already regretted not taking photos when we got married. I would feel guilty if I didn't even take wedding photos today. Shui'er is dressed very beautifully today, and I changed into this outfit specifically for taking photos."
Ye Qingshui felt dizzy after listening to him, but was finally dragged into the only photo studio in the county by his sweet talk.
…
After the college entrance examination, Shen Weimin looked for Xie Tingyu everywhere. He found the Ye family and learned that the young couple went to the county town to get their marriage certificate.
He had originally made an appointment with Xie Tingyu to have a meal at a state-owned restaurant before the college entrance examination and asked him to bring his wife along.
Unexpectedly, Xie Tingyu was so ungrateful that he stood him up without even saying goodbye.
Xie Tingyu and his wife finished taking wedding photos, and then he slowly remembered on the way: "Wei Min invited us to the state-owned restaurant for dinner today."
He paused and added: "To celebrate the college entrance examination. I didn't know that I would get the certificate today...but I agreed to it."
Ye Qingshui blushed when he heard this.
It turned out to be this meal... Shen Weimin hosted Xie Tingyu to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant after the college entrance examination, but he ended up getting so drunk that he couldn't even recognize himself.
On this day in his previous life, Ye Qingshui did not go to have this meal.
Ye Qingshui urged him, "Then... why don't you go?"
Xie Tingyu was talking about serious matters with his wife. As they were talking, he saw her blushing and couldn't help wondering why she was blushing just because she was having a meal.
Are you angry?
He understood, and said with a strong desire to survive: "Today is the day we get our marriage certificate. What's the point of getting together with them? Let's celebrate on our own."
"I don't know if I can make it to the supply and marketing cooperative in time to buy a few pounds of pork."
Ye Qingshui pinched him and said, "How can that be possible? You can't break your promise."
Xie Tingyu then changed direction, parked his bicycle at his fellow villager's house, and took a bus to the city with Ye Qingshui.
Shen Weimin generously booked a compartment and invited a dozen educated youth with whom he had a good relationship to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
This state-owned restaurant was once a name card of Qing City before the 1960s and is a time-honored brand. After it was transformed from a public-private partnership to a state-owned hotel, it became a state-owned restaurant.
The chef is a skilled one. It is a matter of face to have a meal here. Of course, the price is not cheap.
When Ye Qingshui and Xie Tingyu walked into the compartment, they were greeted by a strong fragrance.
Looking over there, there were the smooth and tender duck-billed fish, the crispy and golden-skinned Guangming pigeon, the white and jade-like braised pork with preserved vegetables, the stuffed tofu with a hole inside... Seeing it all like this, Ye Qingshui's eyes were dazzled.
There were fish, duck, pigeon and pork. Shen Weimin must have spent a lot of money to order such a sumptuous meal.
Shen Weimin was pouring wine for everyone, and when he turned around, he saw that the couple who had happily broken their promise had actually arrived.
He quickly filled a bowl of wine for Xie Tingyu.
The college entrance examination has passed. Although everyone walked out of the examination room with a gloomy face, Shen Weimin was still cheerful and thanked Xie Tingyu with a smile on his face:
"Brother Yu, the college entrance examination reference book you recommended was really useful. I was able to write all the questions in the college entrance examination."
Although Shen Weimin's paper was very clean, at least he was able to write some questions he knew. When he walked out of the examination room, Shen Weimin's legs were weak.
But after comparing answers with others, he found that the papers of the educated youth from other villages were as clean as the money in their pockets. He was no longer panicked.
Xie Tingyu did not dare to take credit for it. He said: "This set of books was actually introduced to me by Shui Ya."
The other educated youths nodded one after another. "This set of books is indeed well-written. Using it to review has saved us a lot of time. We couldn't buy the books at that time, and it was Comrade Ye who helped us. We were originally planning to ask our friends in the capital to send the books to us through connections."
"Comrade Ye, you should also have a drink. You have helped us earn at least a few more points. If we fail this year, we can use it to study hard next year. It won't be a big problem."
So Ye Qingshui also got half a bowl of wine.
Ye Qingshui held the bowl and took a sip. His throat felt hot and his face soon became hot.
Xie Tingyu helped his wife finish the rest of the wine, "Shuiya can't drink white wine, just come at me."
Zhou Tingting breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile in her eyes: "I heard that you went to get the marriage certificate."
Xie Tingyu nodded and said, "Before she was under 18, she couldn't get the certificate. After the exam, she can get the certificate when she has time."
Zhou Tingting nodded and affirmed their behavior: "You guys acted pretty quickly. It's right to apply for the marriage certificate now. I heard that the policy has changed and college students can't get married while studying. If both of you are admitted, it will be difficult to get a marriage certificate."
Ye Qingshui and Xie Tingyu were in a de facto marriage. They had a wedding banquet and lived together in the countryside, but they did not get a marriage certificate, so legally they were still not in a complete husband-and-wife relationship.
When everyone heard this, they felt very disappointed.
Why does Zhou Tingting keep talking about things that are not relevant?
Is it possible for a couple to go to college together?
We all went through this college entrance exam together. Before the exam, we might have been able to comfort ourselves. But after the exam, we were completely hopeless because the questions were too difficult.
Being able to write is already very good; how can you expect to write correctly?
Besides, Comrade Ye had never attended middle school. During the period of preparing for the exam, Xie went out early and came back late, working on the biogas digester. He was busy like a dog all day long and had no time to review for the exam.
Someone suddenly asked: "Can anyone from our village be admitted to university this year?"
After asking, everyone was silent.
Sun Lingyu comforted them: "What shame is there in everyone's heart? The exam is over and it's all in the past. We can just work harder next year..."
Ye Qingshui thought this year's topic was easy, so he stuffed duck-billed fish into his mouth. The skin was tender and the meat was fresh, and the thick sauce was thick and fragrant. The skin of the pigeon was crispy, and the skin of the stuffed tofu was tender and the meat was fragrant...
It’s really delicious.
State-owned restaurants are different. Others are lucky to get some meat, but they can have all kinds of meat on one table. After being reborn for so long, Ye Qingshui has never eaten duck meat, let alone duck-billed fish.
Xie Tingyu picked up some food for his wife with a big smile on his face, and had no intention of replying at all.
What did they say?
Xie Tingyu didn't hear it. All he could see was his wife eating so much that her eyes sparkled and her cheeks puffed up like a squirrel.
Shen Weimin hadn’t finished his meal yet, but he was full of dog food. He picked up the wine and finished a bowl.
"Brother Yu, come and drink! What's the point of just eating?"
Ye Qingshui tugged at Xie Tingyu's sleeve and whispered to the man in private, "Drink less. How can you go home if you're drunk?"
Xie Tingyu smiled and said to his wife implicitly: "Don't worry, Shuiya, I will try to drink less."
Shen Weimin said to his sister-in-law with a big tongue: "Sister-in-law, you may not know that Brother Yu has never been drunk since he was a child..."
Ye Qingshui dropped the chopsticks in his hand in confusion and almost lost his grip.
She suddenly raised her head and asked seriously, "Brother Yu has a good alcohol tolerance?"
Shen Weimin nodded vigorously, afraid that Ye Qingshui would not believe him, and whispered to her: "Brother Yu's mother, her family runs a winery, and is very famous in the local area. He grew up drinking with chopsticks, so how could he get drunk. Even if he wants to drink, I can't bear to waste the wine, don't worry, sister-in-law."
The author has something to say:
Shui Ya: I was deceived to the point of tears falling
Brother Yu: Pig teammate
Other Educated Youths: Idiot Teammates
Shen Weimin: ???
