Chapter 4 Uncle, I can!
Two hours later.
Qin Lai Di was holding a red cardboard cover, with quotations from great men printed on one side and information about the two of them on the other. The most eye-catching thing was the three big words "Marriage Certificate" in the center at the top.
He Liansheng didn't even look at what Benben looked like. He saw her eyes lingering on the marriage certificate and said, "I'll add the photo later. I have to go away for something tonight. We'll talk about the wedding when I get back." Although marriage certificates in this era did not contain half-inch photos, young men and women who were getting married would tacitly take a black-and-white photo together.
Qin Lai Di really wasn't someone who cared about formalities, and she knew why he was anxious, "Okay, go and do your thing."
"be safe."
How refreshing.
This thought popped up in He Liansheng's mind, but he said nothing. The two of them returned to Wulitun like strangers, keeping a distance of one meter between them. Dozens of people had already gathered under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to eat melons.
"Pepper will definitely regret it."
"Maybe we'll regret it halfway through. I bet we didn't even make it to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"I think so. When she talked to that guy before, she just broke up. Which boss can stand her temper?"
"Yes, do you remember that one? I heard that her kick almost broke his penis and he had to stay in the hospital for more than half a month!"
However, not only did the two of them get their marriage certificate, they also returned safely. He Liansheng even offered them a hand when they got off the tractor.
And Little Pepper also put her hand in his, and their movements were so natural that they seemed like an old married couple!
"Hey, are you guys saying that I am dazzled? These two people who have nothing in common are actually a couple? That Xiao He doesn't seem to be bad either."
Widow Liu laughed so hard that her teeth almost fell out. It seemed that her granddaughter was right. This little hot pepper's temper could not stand provocation. The more others supported her, the less she would do it. The more others opposed her, the more excited she became.
But other things are fine, but she treated the matter of changing her destiny by getting married so lightly. She will regret it bitterly in the future!
Widow Liu had just walked into the house, twisting her still graceful waist. Before she could even sit down, there was a creaking sound from the door.
"Auntie, are you busy?" The speaker was the captain's wife, Wang Lifen, who was holding a bamboo basket in her arms and had a smiling face.
Widow Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, you are a good wife."
Wang Lifen looked around. Although the yard was big, it was as messy as a pigsty. Then she thought about the widow Qin's house across the wall. Although the yard was small, it was tidy and the dirt was compacted flat. She thought that although Aunt Qin was a bit rough, she was good at housework. As for Aunt Liu's house, it was... well, she would not want to come if she hadn't been asked to come.
"Auntie, your Baozhu is nineteen now, right?"
Widow Liu is very experienced. "I am already nineteen years old. In the blink of an eye, I have grown into a big girl. Back then, I was a very busy person..."
Wang Lifen quickly laughed dryly and interrupted her, fearing that she would cry and beg for things again, "There is a good marriage right in front of you, I wonder if my aunt is happy."
She paused, and seeing that the door to the east room was ajar, she deliberately slowed down her speech, "Auntie, do you still remember the third son of the Zhao family at the end of the village?"
Zhao Qingsong is the most promising young man in the village. He joined the army at the age of fifteen or sixteen and was promoted several times. His first wife was from the city. I heard that she was a nurse in the military hospital. They had a son and a daughter, but they divorced two years ago because they were apart more often than together. "He has been single for two years now. The organization is very concerned about his personal life and has advised him to find another one. So the old couple of the Zhao family thought that your Baozhu is just right."
When Widow Liu heard that it was Zhao Qingsong, her mouth widened to her ears.
It seems that the granddaughter has been able to predict the future after a serious illness. A few days ago, she said that Little Lajiao would fall into the water today, and she even predicted the person who rescued her and the person who lied to Widow Qin. She listened to her granddaughter and deliberately said bad things about Xiao He in front of Little Lajiao, and this silly girl was stubborn and followed her lead, hey!
As long as Xiao La Jiao chooses Xiao He, then Zhao Qingsong will be their Baozhu's, right?
"Although he is married for the second time, he is still young, only 28, and is still young and strong."
"It's the key. In the second half of the year, you will be promoted to a higher level and assigned to the military's family compound, which is just outside the provincial capital. If Baozhu performs well or learns a skill, the army will give her a job and provide her with rations!"
Widow Liu licked her yellow teeth and asked, "Really?"
"That's for sure. The leaders in the army said that as soon as you get your license, you'll be assigned a job."
"The old couple of the Zhao family also said that they would not bother with them anymore and just wanted the young couple to take care of themselves."
In short, after getting married, you can be the head of the family, get a job that can change your destiny, or even become the wife of a high-ranking official.
Wang Lifen became more and more excited, almost praising Zhao Qingsong like a flower. She drank two large bowls of boiled water, then wiped her mouth reluctantly and pushed the bamboo basket on the ground, "This is something his family asked me to bring to you. If you like it, keep it to replenish your body. Tomorrow, Qingsong will come to see you, so that the two young people can meet and get to know each other, right?"
There were quite a few things, including two cans of oranges, two pounds of brown sugar, and six eggs, all of which were rare goods in those days and were quite good-looking enough to be displayed in the city. Widow Liu looked at them greedily and became even more satisfied, as this showed that the Zhao family did not look down on their Liu family.
In this marriage, everything is complete, whether it is family background, appearance, character, work or ability. What else can she complain about? As for the second marriage... even sugar cane cannot have the best of both worlds.
Just as he was about to agree, a voice suddenly came from the east room: "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I will definitely invite you to the wedding in the future."
A fair-skinned girl of about eighteen or nineteen came out. Her hair was tied in a braid before going to bed last night. Now it was loose and slightly curled. Although her facial features were not as outstanding as Lai Di's, she was also a rare beautiful girl.
Thinking of Lai Di, Wang Lifen felt sorry. She had been optimistic about Lai Di and had helped her find unmarried young men in the past two years, but she had never been successful. Liu Baozhu was always gentle and kind, but she always felt that this girl was not so kind. She would make excuses when doing things and always compete with Lai Di for everything. If Lai Di got an easier job, she would go to her husband to wipe her tears. If Lai Di had a harder job, she would twist her waist and watch the joke.
Alas, the Zhao family is helpless because this girl has many brothers, so it’s no wonder that the Qin family is left with nothing!
*
Qin Laidie and He Liansheng parted at the door of Zhao's house. After returning home, she casually said a few words to her grandmother and fell asleep.
As she got older, she was used to taking naps. Now that she had finished a big matter, she had to sleep for three days and three nights.
Today was the day she felt most at ease since she became homeless. When she woke up again, someone in the yard was talking in a low voice.
"Xiao He, you can live your own life in the future. I can't even help you for a few days. Please bear with Laidi. She has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She has a short temper and loves to cause trouble..."
"Um."
Then there was another rustling, and He Liansheng took out a few things from his carry-on luggage. "Things are urgent, this is a small token of my appreciation."
Qin Lai Di found it funny. This guy really knew how to please women. In the last few years of his life, although his hair had turned white and his back had hunched, he was still wise and humorous. There were many women who admired him. Even when he went to give lectures at universities, female students would give him flowers and take photos with him.
Of course, she would not be jealous, because she knew that the female college students were all knowledgeable and cultured young people, and their admiration for Lao Hetou was simply pure.
"Just get up when you wake up, rolling around like a monkey."
Qin Lai Di paused. According to her grandmother's personality, she would definitely sigh and say, "It would be great if the child with this temperament was a boy."
Sure enough, the next second, the old lady sighed, "It would be great if this character was a boy..."
Qin Lai Di smiled. The names of the sisters were enough to prove how deeply the old lady was obsessed with her "son".
But she knew that her grandmother was just nagging. She used to think that her grandmother favored boys over girls and was old-fashioned, and she had argued with her a lot. But it was not until many years later that she realized that some people talk about morality, but they will give up when the time comes. Some people have sharp words but soft hearts. They usually complain that they are not boys, but even during the three years of famine, when her grandmother herself was so hungry that she was swollen, she did not give up any of her sisters, and even...
You know, many girls from the same village in her memory were given away or their whereabouts were unknown during those years.
"Who are you talking to?" she asked deliberately.
"Xiaohe." Qin Guihua pushed the door open a little and winked at her, "Your man is leaving soon, why don't you come up and say a few kind words."
Qin Lai Di: “…”
He Liansheng didn't go into the house, but just stood at the door, looking straight ahead, "I had to leave in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring much money with me, so you can keep this for now." He didn't need her to agree, he put the money down, turned around and walked towards the village entrance.
Qin Lai Di originally wanted to say a few kind words to take care of herself and stay safe, and show off her qualities as a "good wife and loving mother", but who knew that this guy didn't even look back and walked away faster than a donkey!
If she hadn't been reborn with memories, she would never have imagined that this old guy could be so infatuated!
Take a deep breath, forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities to discipline them in the future, anyway, they are a legal couple now.
"Don't think about anything else, just go cut the pig grass."
Qin Lai Di then reacted. According to the work assigned yesterday, her task today was to cut pig grass. After finishing the work, she would carry it to the brigade headquarters for weighing. The scorer would pick up a handful to ensure that there was no fraud or fraud. Only a full thirty kilograms would be recorded as five work points.
She couldn't do heavy work with her thin arms and legs, but cutting pig grass was considered an easy job, and many young girls and wives were vying to do it. If she went too late, the good pig grass would have been cut away by others... Qin Laidie quickly picked up a backpack and went to the back mountain.
As a result, when I just reached the end of the village, I saw a group of people gathered in front of a small house, and everyone had an anxious look on their faces.
"Did the call go through?" Captain Li Benfen asked loudly.
"We called and the call went through, but the commune said they don't know when Doctor He will be back." The communicator said in a low voice.
Everyone sighed and asked, "Where is the breeder from the next team? Have you found him?"
"No, no, he said he went to the region for training and will be back tomorrow."
At this point, everyone was stamping their feet in anxiety. "The baby is about to be born, who would wait until tomorrow? It looks like a difficult birth, and we will suffer a huge loss this time..."
"That's right. We raised him with great difficulty and took good care of him for a year, but in the end... our team is so unlucky."
Qin Lai Di was confused at first, but when she heard the word "difficult birth", a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head.
"Uncle, I can!"
