Chapter 6 Getting a Marriage Certificate
After lunch, when Cheng's father and mother returned, Lin's mother took Lin Momo to the room.
"I never thought that our daughter would get married so early and go to join the army. Tibet is the most difficult place." Mother Lin touched Lin Momo's face with tears in her eyes.
She just learned about the situation in Tibet from Cheng's mother and Cheng Jinghao. She didn't want Lin Momo to go there, fearing that she would suffer.
"Mom, the Southwest Military Region is at the lowest place in Tibet. It's not as hard as you think." Lin Momo leaned in her mother's arms and comforted her.
The Southwest Military Region to which Cheng Jinghao belongs is located in the Tibetan area. The military region is not a construction corps. The military region is located in southern Tibet, at the lowest point in the Tibetan area, with an altitude of only a few hundred meters. (If you are not familiar with geography, you can check Baidu.)
However, due to the long distances for transporting supplies, it is winter from October to February of the following year, and the conditions are the most difficult of all military regions.
Mother Lin didn't say anything else. At this point, she couldn't go back on her word and let Lin Momo not get married. I can only think of a way to send more supplies to my daughter when the time comes.
"Your sisters-in-law have prepared cash for you. Your father and I went to the bank this morning to deposit the passbook for you." Mother Lin handed her the passbook, money and bills.
"When you go to get the marriage certificate later, go and deposit the money." Lin's mother instructed.
"Okay." Lin Momo took the money and nodded.
Cheng Jinghao was still waiting outside. Lin's mother didn't say much and took Lin Momo to the room.
Lin Momo followed Cheng Jinghao out of the door carrying a small bag on her back. She put all the money and notes given by the Cheng family and the Lin family into the space through the small bag.
Cheng Jinghao pushed his bicycle and walked beside Lin Momo, and the two walked towards the family compound in silence.
"Come on." In a place where no one was around, Cheng Jinghao straddled his bicycle and motioned Lin Momo to get on.
"Can you do it?" Lin Momo looked at 놛 doubtfully.
"Didn't I give you a ride when you were a kid?" Cheng Jinghao asked back.
“Didn’t you fall on me when you were a kid?” Although she said that, Lin Momo still sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
"Let's go." Cheng Jinghao stretched out his long legs and rode his bicycle forward.
"You seem very happy?" Lin Momo tugged at the hem of his military uniform and looked at his back, which was much broader than when he was a child.
"Is there?"
Lin Momo did not answer, "Cheng Jinghao, we occupied the original owner's body. How sad our families would be if they knew."
Lin Momo thought about the past few days spent with the Lin family and felt reluctant to leave.
"Then we will be your biological children and take care of you on behalf of the original owners." Cheng Jinghao said, and he also saw the shadow of his own parents in Cheng's parents.
"Yeah, you're right." Lin Momo nodded in approval.
"I've already booked the tickets, we have to leave tomorrow, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Cheng Jinghao's vacation is not long, the journey will take three and a half days, and they have to leave tomorrow morning.
"good."
The household registration certificate had already been issued by Lin's father, so the two only needed to go directly to the office to apply for a marriage certificate.
The marriage certificate was processed very quickly. Lin Momo found it very novel to see a simple piece of paper with only a red seal and not even a photo on it.
The first marriage in two lives was with Cheng Jinghao, and it was fake. Lin Momo couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Jinghao looked at the marriage certificate, glanced at Lin Momo, and put it in his chest pocket. Later, her household registration would be transferred to the army.
Cheng Jinghao thanked the office staff and led Lin Momo to the office.
"Let's take some wedding photos." Cheng Jinghao suggested.
"Why take wedding photos for a fake marriage?" Lin Momo couldn't help but mutter.
"Show it to the elders, and then let my mother come to get it." Cheng Jinghao said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Okay." Hearing this, Lin Momo did not refuse.
Today, at the insistence of Lin's mother, Lin Momo wore a red dress, which was very much in the style of wedding photos of that era.
After taking the wedding photos, Cheng Jinghao sent Lin Momo home, said goodbye to the Lin family and went back. He had to leave tomorrow and had to take time to spend more time with his parents.
After Lin Momo got home, she learned that she would leave the next day. The Lin family was reluctant to let her go, but they knew that this was something that could not be changed.
The two sisters-in-law began to help Lin Momo pack her luggage, and Lin's mother sat by the bed watching over her daughter.
"There's no summer over there, so bring autumn clothes. We'll send the rest to Momo, and we can also send some food with it." Cao Shulan said as she started to pack.
"I think it's okay, but you have to exchange more cotton tickets. The winter there is long and the temperature is low." Zhang Hui nodded in agreement.
"I happened to bring two bottles of vanishing cream today. Take them with you. Momo, don't be reluctant to leave. Sister-in-law will send them to you after you leave." Cao Shulan muttered.
Because Cao Shulan was in the first shift at the supply and marketing cooperative, she usually brought Lin Momo's vanishing cream.
"Sister-in-law, the supply and marketing cooperative over there must have it for sale." Lin Momo said in a low voice. The more they did this, the more reluctant she was to give it up.
"Can the goods in Beijing be the same?" Cao Shulan tapped Lin Momo's forehead.
"Yes, we'll send you the ones you usually use." Zhang Hui also agreed.
"I don't know if I can buy bedding over there." Lin's mother, who had been silent the whole time, said something. She was worried that Lin Momo wouldn't even have decent bedding for her bed when she got married.
"If it's not available there, Momo, please write back and we'll send it to you. Marriage is a lifelong thing, and it can't be taken lightly." Cao Shulan turned to Lin Momo while packing.
"Okay." Lin Momo nodded. She knew that as long as she refuted, they would bombard her in turns.
"How come we don't have time to make some dried meat to take with us tomorrow when we leave?" Zhang Hui was a little annoyed.
"I'll ask your dad to buy more meat from the black market tomorrow, and then send it over when the time comes to cook it." Lin's mother said.
"Since we are going to send it, let's prepare more." Cao Shulan nodded.
Lin Momo looked at the three people. After all, this was a military zone, not a refugee zone. They were really worried and confused, thinking too much, but she didn't dare to say it.
The luggage was contained in two bamboo and rattan boxes, which were very sturdy and were woven by Cao Shulan's father himself. Cao Shulan had just asked Lin Ze to go home and get them.
Cao Shulan and Zhang Hui didn't stop until the two boxes were full. They checked carefully again, fearing that they would leave something behind.
Looking at her two busy sisters-in-law and her mother who had always been by her side, Lin Momo's eyes turned red.
"Hey, why are you still crying?" Zhang Hui turned around and saw the tears on Lin Momo's face.
"Momo, don't cry. This morning, my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home to send Xiaojie off. The news has been confirmed. Except for those who are married, families with two children must have one go to the countryside, even if they have a job."
"My brother-in-law and the Cheng family think you are fine. Your future life will definitely be good." Cao Shulan comforted.
"Yes, you have two brothers and two sisters-in-law. If Cheng Jinghao dares to bully you, we will not let him go." Zhang Hui continued.
"Yes, today is the day you get your marriage certificate, we shouldn't shed tears." Mother Lin hugged Lin Momo in her arms.
"I just can't bear to leave you." Lin Momo said in a low voice.
The three of them listened to her words, looked at each other and sighed. Several people talked for a long time in Lin Momo's room.
In the evening, it was already dark when the Lin brothers and sisters-in-law returned home. Mother Lin stayed in Lin Momo's room tonight and slept with her.
