Chapter 47 Registering Qi Erya
He quietly lifted a corner of the cloth, and inside the basket were round, white, and plump dumplings. He was even happier and treated Qi Man even more enthusiastically.
"Then I must try Erya's cooking!" He turned and shouted into the kitchen, "Mother, come out quickly, Manman and Erya are here."
"Hey, here she comes!" Chen Zhaojin wiped the water stains on his hands and ran out in a hurry. When he saw Qi Man, he smiled and said, "Oh, Man Man is here, come and sit down!"
There are still a lot of things that Qi Man brought last time, and it is estimated that they will last until the end of the year. This alone is enough to make it extremely enthusiastic about Qi Man.
After all, she had never asked for such an expensive gift in her life. Even when she married an old man, the gift was not so expensive.
"Manman brought some dumplings to our house. They were made by Erya. Let's try some."
Bai Jiachun handed over the bamboo basket and invited Qi Man to sit down. Chen Zhaojin took the small bamboo basket and swiftly went into the kitchen. He put the dumplings on a plate, then cleaned the bamboo basket and took it out.
"I came here this time to transfer Erya's household registration. I need to get a certificate from you so that I can go to the county town to handle it for Erya in the afternoon."
In the 1980s, the procedure for adopting a household registration was rather complicated, and one needed a certificate from the village chief before being able to go to the county town to handle it.
Bai Jiachun's eyes fell on Qi Erya, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is that what Manman said?"
Qi Erya nodded obediently and explained softly: "Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, my parents gave me to my cousin last night because they couldn't afford to feed three mouths. Plus, you know my parents' personalities. They were eager to give me away, so..."
As he spoke, he twisted his body a little.
Qi Man silently gave Erya a thumbs up in her heart, saying she was so smart.
Bai Jiachun understood what he was thinking after hearing this.
He knew something about the character of Qi Laosan and his wife. Erya was smart and well-behaved, very honest and never told lies. In addition, she had received some favors from Qi Man, so even if Bai Jiachun didn't want to do it, he had to help.
He quickly issued a certificate to Qi Man.
"You should go to the county government. Oh, and bring her household registration booklet. As long as the government stamps it, Erya will be transferred to the old man's name. Of course, they are still grandfather and grandson. Don't confuse the names."
Bai Jiachun instructed carefully.
Previously, someone from another village got a certificate and was adopted by his biological grandfather. But the next day, the child directly called his biological grandfather "Dad". Doesn't this mess up the generations?
Having lived in the countryside for more than ten or twenty years, he could not read a single word, let alone the details of adoption.
"Thank you, village chief!"
Qi Man said thank you obediently, then took Erya away from Bai Jiachun's house.
As soon as the two left, Chen Zhaojin came out with a plate of dumplings. Each one was white, tender, and glossy, looking very tempting.
Looking at the still warm dumplings in his hands, Chen Zhaojin wiped away his tears, his voice choking with sobs for unknown reasons: "Manman sent these dumplings at the right time. Our daughter just came back, so she needs to be nourished. I'll take her to the county town when I have time. I'm afraid that beast will come again!"
When Bai Jiachun mentioned the beast who abused his daughter, he suddenly became furious. With a "bang", he slapped the table hard and said angrily.
"If he dares to come to my house, I will chop that beast into pieces even if it costs me my life." Bai Jiachun's old face turned red with anger.
If it weren't for that beast, how could the originally lively and cheerful girl lock herself in the room all day long, depressed.
Bai Jiachun felt heartbroken when he thought about the fate of his beloved daughter. If he had known this would happen, he should have tried his best to stop his daughter from marrying that beast, instead of regretting it like he is now.
Chen Zhaojin was also like this, heartbroken, and couldn't help wiping away tears as he listened. He seemed to have thought of something, sniffed hard, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his tone was still choked with sobs:
"Okay, stop talking about that person, so as to avoid upsetting my daughter. I'll bring the dumplings to my daughter first."
"well!"
Bai Jiachun sighed heavily, sat down on the chair weakly, and drank the tea in the cup.
Now my daughter becomes crazy whenever she mentions that beast.
Qi Man has already brought Qi Erya back to Qi Lao San's home.
Seeing Qi Man and Qi Erya passing by the field, Qi Daya was startled. She didn't know why she had a bad premonition. She moved faster than she thought and stuffed all the seeds in her hand into the hands of the woman next to her, saying in a hurried tone:
"Aunt, I'll go back and take a look. If anyone comes to inspect, please let me know."
As he said that, he hurriedly chased after her, leaving the confused aunt standing there. When she looked up, the man had already run away. He lowered his head and was busy with the things at hand, muttering:
"I don't know why he's running so fast. If you don't know, you might think Qi Man is a man-eating monster."
Qi Man is a weak girl. Judging from the temperament of Qi Laosan's family, Manman will definitely suffer.
There were still several large holes on the roof of Qi Laosan's house, the yard was in a mess, and the bloodstains on the ground had dried.
Yesterday, Qi Laosan and his wife were beaten so badly that they were covered in wounds and unable to move. The only difference was that there was a chubby white boy sitting in the yard.
Qi Dawang was sitting in the yard with his legs crossed, acting like a big shot. His chubby body looked just like a pig.
When Qi Dawang saw Qi Erya following behind Qi Man, he stood up from the old stool, put his hands on his waist, looked up at Qi Erya with contempt:
"My eldest sister went to work in the fields, and my parents are lying in their room. There is no one to cook for me. You are back just in time. I want to eat steamed eggs and two bowls of rice. Hurry up and make it for me."
He didn't even look at Qi Erya from beginning to end, his mind and eyes were full of food.
No one knew where these two money-losing bastards had gone last night, leaving him hungry. When he was full, he would definitely teach these two money-losing bastards a lesson.
Zeng Yueru doted on Qi Dawang very much. She held him in her hands for fear of him falling, and held him in her mouth for fear of him melting.
Even though the family was poor, she would do her best to provide the best conditions for Qi Dawang. It was precisely because of this that Qi Daya and Qi Erya were already in their twenties. If they were from an ordinary family, they would have married and had children, and their children would have been several years old. But in order to serve Qi Dawang well, Zeng Yueru refused to marry off her two daughters. She let Qi Daya and Qi Erya be maids for Qi Dawang, serving him all the time, and they lived like young masters.
All the good food in the family went into Qi Dawang's mouth, so at the age of twelve, his body was as fat and round as a pig, his face was full of fat, his facial features were all wrinkled, and his eyes were squeezed into small eyes.
