After Feng Yi finally stopped his busy work, Tang Baozhu told him to go sleep in the room across the street. Since they were getting their marriage certificate the next day anyway, one more day wouldn't make a difference.
Feng Yi was quite happy, but he still didn't stay. Although they were getting their marriage certificate tomorrow, he was worried that staying would damage the girl's reputation.
“I can’t bear to see you suffer. I’ll stay at a small hotel for the night and come over early tomorrow morning to make you breakfast.”
After saying that, Feng Yi left. He was worried that he would regret it and if he stayed a little longer, he might not want to leave anymore.
Tang Baozhu nodded in satisfaction at his performance, acknowledging that he truly cared about the young girl and that everything he did was for her benefit.
After everyone left, he locked both the courtyard gate and the living room door, went inside, and instantly entered the space.
The next day, very early, they heard a knock on the door. Fortunately, Tang Baozhu had already woken up and got dressed before going outside to open the door.
"Why did you come so early, Yi-ge? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Feng Yi was a little embarrassed. Could he really say that he was too excited to sleep and couldn't wait to buy breakfast and bring it over as soon as it was light?
"Baozhu, did I come too early? Did I disturb your sleep?"
"No, I actually woke up a long time ago, but I just didn't want to get up and stayed in bed."
To Feng Yi, this meant that the young woman had also been unable to sleep all night, was extremely excited, and was looking forward to dawn so that she could get her marriage certificate with him as soon as possible.
His smile widened, completely unlike the cold and aloof image he had when they first met.
It's safe to say that when you start imagining things, you can probably even think about what surname your future children will have.
"Then go wash up quickly. I brought breakfast. After you finish eating, we'll go get our marriage certificate."
"good."
Tang Baozhu went straight to the kitchen to wash up. After washing up, she sat in the living room and ate the breakfast that Feng Yi had brought over.
In the little girl's memory, these breakfasts were the ones she and her husband had most wanted to eat and missed when they were children.
They found it really delicious when they tasted it, no wonder the two of them still remember it. It seems we can go eat it more often in the future, so that we won't be unable to eat it when the ration coupon era comes.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they locked the door and went to the household registration office. The marriage certificates these days are very sloppy; it's just a piece of paper with two stamps, and then the names, birth dates, and the date of registration are written on it.
It couldn't be simpler. This was Tang Baozhu's second time in the Era Literature, but her first time getting a marriage certificate there. She looked at the paper with curiosity, finding it quite interesting.
"Baozhu, I'll keep these two marriage certificates safe. I'm worried you might be absent-minded and accidentally lose them."
Tang Baozhu hadn't had enough of looking at it when he put it away, carefully folded it, and put it in the pocket of his clothes.
Seeing how cautious he was, I decided not to argue with him. Since he liked it, I would keep it.
"Let's go to the store and buy some candy and pastries. Even though we're not having a banquet, we should still give some candy to our neighbors to share in the joy."
It was Tang Baozhu's suggestion not to hold a banquet. Besides, even if a banquet were held, there probably wouldn't be many people to eat. The two of them are both alone and have no relatives or anything like that. Even if a banquet were held, it would just be the two of them eating by themselves, so there would be no need for it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You should be able to accept this passbook, right? I've always carried it with me. From now on, you'll be in charge of everything, and I'll do everything. Is that alright?"
"Of course! Why not?" Tang Baozhu was overjoyed!
She took his passbook directly, opened it out of curiosity, and saw that there was only a little over 600 yuan in it. It seemed that their wages were still quite low. After so many years, they had only saved so little. Moreover, most of it was probably subsidies for missions. She knew this.
However, if a man is willing to entrust his entire fortune to you, it means he is prepared to spend the rest of his life with you.
The two went to the store and bought candy. There weren't many kinds, but in this era, it was good enough to have candy at all, let alone so many to choose from.
After buying the candy, they went to knock on the doors of all the neighbors who had watched the two of them grow up and handed out candy.
Regardless of what people really think, when the two are showing affection, everyone still smiles and congratulates them, offering blessings and auspicious words as if they were free.
After returning home, Tang Baozhu rubbed her cheeks, feeling that her face was stiff from smiling.
“Baozhu, when would you like to come with me to join the army? The houses there are mud houses, three rooms in a row, and the yard is quite big. The only problem is that you have to fetch water from the well outside the yard. Otherwise, there are no inconveniences. I'm just worried that you won't be used to living in the mud houses there.”
Although I was a little disgusted by living in an earthen house there, in this day and age, having an earthen house to live in is already good enough. Why be so picky? As long as you have a house to live in, that's fine.
"Shall we transfer the household registration tomorrow? But should we take all these things in the house with us to the military base? If we don't, we'll have to buy everything again, which is a bit wasteful."
However, if you bring it along, you might have to rent a car. Owning a car is quite rare these days; you can't rent one without connections and money.
Feng Yi looked around the room and could tell that everything was new; Baozhu must have just bought it not long ago. He couldn't bear to leave it there to gather dust.
"I'll go find someone to rent a car in a bit and then take all this stuff away. Anyway, I probably won't be coming back. But what do you plan to do with this house? If no one lives here, it'll easily fall into disrepair. Do you think it would be better to rent it out?"
"Then let's rent it out. At least we can collect some rent, even if it's not much, it's better than nothing."
Tang Baozhu didn't have any special feelings for this house, unlike the young girl who was willing to leave the house here and didn't want to rent it out even after it had been empty for five years.
"Okay, I'll go outside and see if anyone wants to rent a place. I'll go find someone to rent a car now, and I'll buy some groceries on my way back. You just stay home and rest."
Feng Yi wished he could get things done quickly so he could stay home with Baozhu and not have to go anywhere else.
