Su Rui'an was very happy to see that Baozhu was increasingly satisfied with the courtyard, which proved that he had made the right purchase.
“I’m so glad to see you like it. This courtyard didn’t cost much, around 1,000 yuan. That’s not expensive. The reason it’s cheaper is because the well inside isn’t a sweet water well. If it were a sweet water well, it would cost at least another 300 yuan.”
1000 yuan seems quite cheap, but considering my age, I can understand it.
As more and more people who had been sent down to the countryside returned, they worried that similar things would happen again, so they dared not stay in the country at all.
Many people wanted to sell their houses and go abroad. At that time, it was unknown whether the houses would be cheaper or more expensive than they are now.
"Sweet water wells are so rare! If we don't have any, that's fine too. We can plant some vegetables on the ground on both sides, and the water from the well can be used to water them. It's perfect. But if we want to drink water, where do we go to get it?"
There is plenty of water in the space, including water imbued with spiritual energy, but on the surface, you still need to find a place to get drinking water.
"There's a water pipe at the entrance of the alley ahead. People in this alley go there to get their water. But you can't waste water each time you get it, or the neighborhood committee will say something. If I'm not home, you have to be careful when you get water."
I never imagined that getting a drink of water would be so difficult. It's at least 100 meters away, and I have to carry a bucket with me.
I'm glad I was just pretending; I can just release the water directly from my spatial storage when the time comes.
"knew."
The two haven't registered their marriage yet, so they each slept in a separate room. The room was very clean, and it was clear that Su Ruian had put in a lot of effort.
Even the bedding on the kang (heated brick bed) had been laid out, so it seemed that the cotton quilts from the two large packages I had brought wouldn't need to be taken out.
"Baozhu, I boiled some water. Would you like to take a shower? It's probably not convenient to take a shower in the hotel, right? It will be more comfortable if you take a shower. After you're done, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner. I haven't eaten out with you before."
She hadn't thought about it before, but after Su Rui'an said that, Tang Baozhu felt itchy all over, and taking a bath became an urgent matter.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Su."
I've been wiping myself with water for so many days, and I haven't even been able to sneak a shower in my space. Luckily, I have a cleaning talisman, so I don't get all dirty.
After Tang Baozhu returned, Su Rui'an went directly to the research institute and asked for two days off.
The research institute approved his leave request for marriage very quickly and without any delay.
On the first day of their holiday, the couple went to the post office to write a letter to the girl's parents, telling them all about their marriage plans and also sending them the betrothal money.
Then we'll go get our marriage certificate.
Getting a marriage certificate was incredibly easy. Fortunately, Tang Baozhu was experienced enough to simply take two pieces of paper with the word "marriage" on them home and transfer her household registration as well.
Although it sounds easy, running around is quite tiring, but fortunately, a day is enough for them to keep going.
The two of them didn't return until the afternoon.
Because we were all exhausted from running around all day, we had to postpone our wedding night until the next day.
Although Su Rui'an felt a little embarrassed, since he didn't feel tired at all, he could only suppress his excitement when he saw that Baozhu looked very tired.
No matter how much he wanted Baozhu, he dared not offend her as long as she didn't give in.
It was simply because in his heart, Baozhu was the most important person, and no one could compare to her.
Even if it's his own father, or other familiar or unfamiliar relatives, after being sent down to the countryside, he has long been familiar with the coldness and warmth of human relationships. He only needs to hold on to the people in front of him.
The next day, they bought a lot of eggs. When they didn't have enough, they had to take some from Tang Baozhu's space and boil a lot of red eggs, giving one to each of the neighbors.
This also serves as a way of letting everyone know that the two of them are married, so that they won't be made to be overly particular just because they live together.
After all, neither of them had ever underestimated the power of gossips; sometimes, the words they uttered were more foul and more lethal than excrement.
After the eggs were given out, it was obvious that everyone's attitude became much more gentle.
Tang Baozhu was not surprised at all by their actions. She felt that her neighbors were just a group of ordinary citizens with all sorts of petty thoughts, but they couldn't be too bad.
Besides buying a lot of eggs, I also bought various grains, vegetables, and even other daily necessities.
Su Rui'an felt that he only had two days off, so he would try his best to get everything done in those two days so that when he went back to work, Baozhu wouldn't have to worry about lacking anything.
Seeing how diligent Brother Su was, Tang Baozhu felt that she hadn't made a mistake in choosing him.
In this era, most men have a strong sense of male chauvinism. Good men exist, but they are quite rare. Most are the kind who wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle. I'm really glad I found a satisfactory partner.
After dinner, the two took a shower, and Tang Baozhu went straight to her room and quickly hid under the covers.
Su Rui'an followed him in, closed the door, took off his clothes, blew out the candles in the room, and crawled into bed.
