Chapter 92: Guaguaguaguaguarous evidence
Holding the freshly issued certificate, Xiang Yao sat on the back seat of the bicycle, feeling the autumn breeze blowing gently from both sides.
Since the heavy rain yesterday, the temperature has dropped significantly. Now, unexpectedly, it is already late autumn.
"Nie Baichuan, what did you tell the captain?" Xiang Yao poked the spine of the person pedaling the cyclist in front of him and felt that his face was still very hot.
Who would shamelessly use all sorts of outrageous descriptions to describe the relationship between two people, and be caught by someone? Wouldn't that be embarrassing...
At that moment, she could dig a castle out of her toes!
Nie Baichuan: "I promised him that I would bring back more fertilizer for the brigade next year, and at a better price."
Xiang Yao nodded and asked, "How did you get so much fertilizer? Do you need a favor?"
Nie Baichuan: "The director of the supply and marketing department of the fertilizer plant in Ling County next door is an old classmate of my father's. I also helped his son a lot a few years ago, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a larger share."
Xiang Yao understood and couldn't help but sigh, one still needs connections. Look at Nie Baichuan, he can easily solve big problems for the team, how can people not respect him?
She had been in Xiangjiawan for a long time and knew that the annual competition for fertilizers among the brigades was of utmost importance. To increase production and yield, the use of fertilizers was essential. Because of this, the brigade cadres became worried as soon as spring came.
Ever since Nie Baichuan got the extra share, the whole team has been filled with joy.
The brigade has more fertilizer, which means that the output is likely to be higher than other brigades. After comparing layer by layer, Shitang Brigade has been rated as advanced for several consecutive years and is a well-known "progressive brigade".
The bicycle moved forward and soon caught up with the ox cart in front.
Xiang Yao looked closely and saw that it was Wu Laizi, who had taken advantage of the situation by riding his bicycle to a position parallel to the ox cart. She shouted, "Uncle Wu!"
When Nie Baichuan heard her calling for help, he slowed down and whispered "Uncle Wu" along with her.
Wu Laizi was driving an ox cart. When he heard the two voices, he turned his head in surprise, and then he grinned and laughed heartily.
"It's Miss Yao! I was wondering who it was!" He glanced at Nie Baichuan at the front of the car. "Where are you going? Why don't you take my ox cart and take Comrade Nie's car instead?"
Xiang Yao smiled and said openly, "I'll ride in Nie Baichuan's car from now on. We're going to the commune to get our marriage certificate!"
Wu Laizi's dark face lit up: "To forge a certificate?"
Xiang Yao nodded heavily: "Yes, marriage certificate, I'm getting married!"
Wu Laizi was surprised again. He looked at Xiang Yao, then at Nie Baichuan, and finally turned his gaze back to Xiang Yao. He said loudly, "I didn't notice it before, but now that you two are together, I think you are a perfect match! Good luck in getting married, good luck in getting married!"
Xiang Yao's eyes curved, "Is that so? Thank you, Uncle Wu! I'll treat you to wedding candy later!"
Nie Baichuan also said, "Let's prepare a banquet later and invite Uncle Wu to come and have dinner."
Wu Laizi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Then I'll wait."
Xiang Yao waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wu, we'll be leaving first!"
Nie Baichuan resumed pedaling his bicycle and the bike sped away.
Wu Laizi drove the ox cart slowly, shook his head and smiled.
Naturally, he had also heard about the Xiang family's affairs. He had been wondering what would happen to this girl in the future. It was a pity that such a beautiful and generous girl had to marry into the Zhou family.
I didn’t expect that he was so smart and found such a decent partner for himself.
He didn't think the Nie family's background was a big deal at all. They used to work in the capital, high-level intellectuals! Their knowledge and abilities were beyond the reach of a country boy.
The policies have been relaxed in the past two years, and the Nie family is living a good life. If Xiang Yao marries Nie Baichuan, it would be a very good choice.
When Wu Laizi thought of this, he was happy for Xiang Yao and was really looking forward to the day when he could attend their wedding banquet.
On the other side, the two of them quickly arrived at the commune. This time, no one cared about anything. After the staff checked the certificate, they simply issued two marriage certificates that looked like awards and stamped them with a "click".
Xiang Yao held the "certificate" happily, feeling it was very fresh.
On the left side of the certificate are three lines of quotations from great men, and on the right side is a marriage certificate with personal information filled in and stamped, which looks very festive.
After leaving the office, Xiang Yao looked up at the young man beside her, still feeling as if she were in a dream: "Nie Baichuan, are we getting married now?"
Nie Baichuan looked back at Yaoxiang and smiled: "Yes, we are married."
"It's unbelievable," Xiang Yao lowered her head and stared at the marriage certificate again, "I actually got married so quickly, it's magical."
A hint of doubt flashed in Nie Baichuan's eyes: "Flash marriage?"
Oh yes, the natives here don’t know such avant-garde words.
Xiang Yao smiled and explained, "It means that we got married as fast as lightning."
Nie Baichuan nodded, understanding. He still remembered Xiang Yao telling Wu Laizi on the way that she wanted to treat him to wedding candy, so he asked, "Go buy candy?"
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "It's not just candy I want to buy. There are many other things I want to buy. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first."
Nie Baichuan had no objection, pushed out the bicycle and motioned for her to get on.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, there were still many people crowded together. Xiang Yao squeezed his way in and took whatever he saw that was suitable.
Towels, washbasins, candies...a bunch of miscellaneous things.
Until finally Nie Baichuan's hands were full and she couldn't hold any more, she was ready to take out the money and settle the bill.
Nie Baichuan had been following closely behind her. Seeing her move, he asked, "Are you not buying it?"
Xiang Yao nodded, and he leaned slightly to the side. "The money and bills are in my pocket. I can't leave them free. You come and get them."
Xiang Yao raised her eyebrows. Most of the things she bought were for her own use, and she had never thought of asking the other party to pay. When she heard this, she remembered that they had already obtained a marriage certificate.
So he didn't hesitate, took out the bill from Nie Baichuan's pocket and paid the bill calmly.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Nie Baichuan tied all his things to the front bar of his bicycle.
Xiang Yao handed him something, and the two of them cooperated very well.
"You watch here first. This car can still be tied with some things. I'll go buy some." Nie Baichuan said.
Xiang Yao said "Hmm?", held on to the bicycle, and saw that the person had turned around and gone in.
Not long after, Nie Baichuan came out with a cotton mattress and tied it securely in the triangular area under the front bumper.
"My bed was too narrow, so I bought a bigger one," Nie Baichuan explained. "We still have some fabric at home. You can ask an aunt you know in the team to help you sew a quilt cover for me."
Xiang Yao jumped into the back seat and said jokingly, "Why don't you just let me sew it? If you let others sew it, you have to give them extra benefits."
Nie Baichuan glanced at her lightly and said, "When we were working in the fields up ahead, your aunt was talking to someone in the field, saying that you don't know how to sew or mend. I heard it."
Xiang Yao gritted his teeth: "Okay, this Third Aunt actually slandered me like this outside!"
She looked at Nie Baichuan, feeling a little embarrassed. "But what my Third Aunt said is actually true. Apart from my cooking, which tastes good, I'm not very good at anything else."
When she was a child, she was a left-behind child. All other chores at home were done by her grandparents. However, her grandmother taught her how to cook. She also told her earnestly that girls should know how to cook so that they will not go hungry wherever they go. They can cook whatever they want to eat and their life will not be hard.
The old man did not live to see the popularity of food delivery apps, so he did not know that later on, he could order takeout whatever he wanted to eat.
But no matter what, Xiang Yao still firmly grasped this skill. When he was in college, he occasionally used low-power appliances to cook meals for his roommates.
Nie Baichuan nodded. "It's okay. You don't have to do anything. If you want to try, then try. If you don't want to do it, then ask someone else for help. I have money and can afford it."
Xiang Yao smiled happily: "You said that, don't call me lazy later."
Nie Baichuan said firmly, "No."
He looked at Xiang Yao intently and said seriously, "I didn't marry you to make you work."
Xiang Yao felt that this sentence was more beautiful than any love words in the world.
She has never been a homebody and lives a carefree life. In the eyes of the older generation, that can be considered a lazy style. However, she is happy with it and is unwilling to clean her small home and do housework every day.
When she heard Nie Baichuan's words, she knew that, regardless of his actions, this concept alone had already surpassed the vast majority of men in this era and even in future generations.
"Nie Baichuan, I'm going to take this seriously. Let's work hard together from now on."
Xiang Yao smiled brightly, feeling that the haze that had been weighing on him for days had now completely dissipated.
Nie Baichuan looked back at her, a smile in his eyes: "Well, you can take it seriously."
"The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have everything, and it's crowded, so it's hard to squeeze in. Tell me if you need anything," Nie Baichuan added. "You can go to the county department store to buy it some other day, or I'll have my friends bring it back."
He paused, then continued, "This is my first time dating, and I don't understand a lot of things. Please bear with me. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
Xiang Yao swung his legs and said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's the first time for everyone. It's okay. We can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and help each other. We can always get by."
Besides, what Xiang Yao didn’t say was that both of them should be quite well off. With money, what life could they not live?
The best thing is to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!
Ah, finally she doesn't have to eat the hot pot water pig dung meals at the Xiang family's house. If she cooks by herself, she will be sure to eat well and have enough to eat every day.
Nie Baichuan raised his lip slightly and continued, "We are indeed moving a bit too fast. As for the betrothal gifts, aside from the normal ones, I'll sort out the tickets I have and see if I can exchange them for a watch ticket."
Xiang Yao was just thinking about a watch, and her eyes lit up when she heard that, but she quickly said, "Forget about the betrothal gifts. I don't want to let the Xiang family get away with it. If you can buy a watch, that would be great. I really need it."
Nie Baichuan nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Xiang Yao rolled her eyes and asked nervously, "By the way, your father is also in the commune now, right? Should we, uh, tell him first..."
The thought of Nie Baichuan's father happily returning home only to find a daughter-in-law suddenly appearing in the house was quite terrifying.
Nie Baichuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell him. I know whose house he is at. Why don't we go over and tell him now?"
Xiang Yao lowered his eyes and said embarrassedly, "You go and talk to them. I'll find a place to wait for you."
Nie Baichuan laughed grimly.
Xiang Yao immediately raised her head and glared at his back: "What are you laughing at?"
Nie Baichuan shook his head: "Nothing, it's just the first time I've noticed that you have this side of you."
Xiang Yao smiled awkwardly. "Well, no matter how pretty a daughter-in-law is, she's afraid of meeting her parents-in-law. And I'm not familiar with your father. If he wants to hit you, he might not feel comfortable doing it in front of me. I'm just giving you two a chance to talk this over alone, okay?"
Nie Baichuan: "Well, let him have a chance to beat me without worry."
Xiang Yao opened her eyes wide: "No way, will I really hit you? Nie Baichuan, shouldn't we get married so hastily? I said it would be really bad if I didn't tell your father first..."
Nie Baichuan's shoulders trembled, and he laughed even louder. He tilted his head slightly to glance at Xiang Yao, and seeing that she was truly regretful, he quickly said, "Don't worry, my dad won't beat me, nor will he disapprove of our relationship. I was just teasing you."
Xiang Yao raised her eyes and poked him hard, a little embarrassed, but also bluffing: "Humph, I hope what you said is true."
But she poked him twice and then stopped. The muscles on Nie Baichuan's back were stiff, and it hurt when she poked him with her fingers. It was not fun.
The car drove all the way to a place Xiang Yao had never been to before. Nie Baichuan parked the car under a big tree and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll be there soon."
Xiang Yao nodded obediently. As long as she wasn't allowed to face her father-in-law directly at this moment, everything would be fine...
Nie Baichuan said this but didn't leave yet. He raised his eyebrows to Xiang Yao and expressed his doubt with his eyes.
Nie Baichuan held out his hand: "Where's your marriage certificate?"
Xiang Yao: "Ah? In my pocket, what are you doing?"
Nie Baichuan: "Give it to me first, and I'll show it to my dad first."
"Oh," Xiang Yao took out the marriage certificate that looked like a certificate, handed it to him, and urged, "Go quickly and come back soon."
Nie Baichuan: "Okay."
