Chapter 91 Picking up the bride
"What, buying a house? What are you bragging about!"
Everyone saw that Lin Yan got a women's bicycle, and they were envious.
It's more than two hundred! In addition to sighing that the street vendor made money, they also had to say that the blind drifter was really willing to spend money.
But how could it be possible to buy a house?
Lin's mother snorted lightly and said proudly: "Our Yan already has two houses of 32 square meters one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square. My son-in-law bought them for her!"
After saying this, no one thought it was strange that Lin's mother gave Yan Yan food. They
were just surprised. How could you make money by setting up a street vendor?
32 square meters, with a small yard, and so close to Tiananmen Square, it would cost at least four or five thousand.
Some people didn't believe it. Lin's mother also said that there were still two thousand yuan left. But the IOU was in the name of her son-in-law.
This made it much more credible.
There was no way to be jealous! It was too much!
Lin Yan got on the train and it was difficult to get off the train. In mid-July, the train was crowded. Three days and three nights without a shower!
Some people even brought chickens and ducks on the bus. They pulled all the way, and the smell was very sour.
However, it was much better than the first time she went to the countryside.
Fang Mingche came directly to the city to pick her up. It saved her from suffering alone for a few more hours.
Lin Yan didn't bring any gifts, only her own clothes.
When they arrived at the exit, Fang Mingche reached out and took it, "Come on, I'll take you to eat and take a shower."
He booked a room so that she could have a good rest before getting on the bus.
The tickets were already bought, and they would go there when the time came.
However, there were no hourly rooms at this time, so they could only book a one-day room directly.
Lin Yan saw him, and then thought that she was very dirty, and she also thought it would be better to take a shower.
As for the cost, let's not consider it for now. She usually works very hard at the tea stall. So she feels at ease spending money.
When Lin Yan entered the room and took a shower, Fang Mingche was sitting in the lobby downstairs.
He originally came alone to book a single room, but now he brought a female comrade with him. The registration person was staring at him.
If two people check into a room without a marriage certificate, they will be considered as having an affair if they are not careful.
There is no way he can go into the room with them.
The person who registered asked him, "Comrade, who is that to you?"
"My partner, she came to my hometown with a marriage certificate to handle the formalities."
The man raised his eyebrows, "So your partner is from a big city?"
She came by train, so she must be from the provincial capital at least.
"Yes, she is from the capital."
"You are really amazing! Except for the years when people went to the countryside to work, how could a girl from a big city marry in our small place?"
Fang Mingche smiled and said nothing more.
Lin Yan packed herself up, wrung out the washed clothes, and put them in a separate bag. Then she put them in the luggage and carried them downstairs.
She also washed her hair, which was still a little wet as it hung on her shoulders.
The long-distance bus was about to leave, and they had to go to the station to catch the bus. There was
only one bus a day, and if they missed it, they would have to stay in the city. Then they had to book another room.
The two planned to complete the remarriage procedures before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed in the afternoon.
They both had their letters of introduction and medical certificates ready.
Lin Yan got them from the street office and a nearby hospital, so the neighbors knew she was a "homeless migrant worker".
Fang Mingche got his from the brigade and the district hospital.
It wasn't the first time, so he knew what he needed.
Fang Mingche didn't have to climb onto the roof of the bus to carry a bag, he just stuffed it under the seat.
After two hours of wandering, they changed buses again when they arrived at the county town. This time, they got off at the bus station and rushed to the commune. They went in at around 4:00 to handle the formalities.
Nowadays, people who work on things don't dare to leave work before the appointed time, and they are still there after 4:00.
Lin Yan's hair had dried and was re-braided into two fishbone braids.
Both of them were wearing white short-sleeved shirts, which was just right for the marriage certificate photo.
After getting the new marriage certificate, Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's the third one."
Fang Mingche said, "No more changes."
He picked up Lin Yan's bag and walked out with her.
It takes 15 minutes to ride a bike from the commune to the village. It takes an hour to walk.
At this time, the tractor that went to the street to buy things in the village had already returned. But it was the dog days of summer, and the sun was very scorching.
Could Fang Mingche let his wife walk back with him in the scorching sun?
He gave the secretary four yuan to let the tractor make a special trip for this purpose.
The secretary gave it to the tractor driver and asked him to use it to refuel. He also said cheerfully: "Whoever wants to use the village tractor to pick up the bride in the future will pay this price."
So, after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, a tractor with a big red flower tied on the front of the car drove over to pick them up.
The car was also cleaned up and a big, red wedding character was pasted on it. There were two medium-sized backrest chairs.
On both sides of the car were some villagers who heard about this and wanted to hitchhike back to the village.
The tractor driver had warned in advance that those who brought chickens, ducks, and smelly things would not be allowed on board. So no one brought anything, only some things bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Yan smiled, "This treatment is better than the first time."
Fang Mingche felt that the branch secretary was quite aware of making money by providing services. At this moment, he felt that the four yuan was worth spending.
"Let's go, get on the car, and go home!" He got on first, and then pulled Lin Yan.
The villagers who hitchhiked kept saying, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Fang Mingche smiled and grabbed a handful of candy and let them share it.
It was hard candy, not a good one. But it was considered good in the countryside.
He could ask his cousin to buy something better, or even buy White Rabbit. But he couldn't show off his wealth like that!
There were so many people in the village, and if each person got two (happy events should come in pairs, at least two), it would not be a small amount. If he bought White Rabbit, it would be more expensive.
He had bought new clothes for his family and brought BJ roast duck, and many villagers had speculated that he had made a lot of money.
If someone came to ask for money, it would be wrong to borrow from one family and not the other, as they were all from the Fang family. But if he borrowed from all of them, he would definitely not be able to afford it.
So, he only bought hard candy as a token of
his appreciation. The villagers talked to Lin Yan along the way, praising Fang Mingche for being caring. He got a ride for free and ate wedding candy, so it wouldn't cost him anything to say a few more nice words.
Lin Yan responded with a smile, and was obviously in a good mood.
Fang Mingche also smiled, and the emotional value was really full. Besides, the more lively the bride-receiving party, the better!
None of the Fang family members went to work this afternoon
. They took a day off to kill chickens and ducks at home. Only the party secretary, production team leader, accountant and cashier of the brigade, and Mingfeng's family will be invited to the banquet. No gifts will be accepted!
Yuan Shufen is definitely the main force, and Fang's mother is also busy. Fang Minghua is in charge of killing chickens, ducks, fish, etc.
The three younger ones have also been assigned work.
Fang Jian and Fang Fang are cleaning the floor now. Fang Kang will sit on the bed for his uncle and aunt tonight.
Big red wedding characters are also pasted on the walls of the room.
According to Fang's mother, letting the little grandson sit on the bed will allow her to have another child next year.
