Chapter 127: Transfer of Initiative
When Zhao Sulan heard Lu Xingguang say this, the unhappy feeling she had just had immediately dissipated a lot.
He picked up the wet cloth that Lu Xingguang handed over and started wiping his face.
A lot of it was wiped off.
As they walked, Zhao Sulan wiped the makeup off her face.
By the time she reached the oxcart, her makeup had been wiped off, but her face had turned red from the strong friction.
It doesn't look much better.
Lu Xingguang really had a lot of black lines in his head.
She looked fine without makeup, but now she looks weird.
I want to get a marriage certificate with a woman like this...
As Lu Xingguang thought about it, he felt a toothache.
Uncle Jiang, who was driving the ox cart, saw Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan coming.
"Are you two going to the county town to get a marriage certificate?" Uncle Jiang is a talkative person.
The story of these two people has been the talk of the village these days, so Uncle Jiang naturally knows about it.
It was just a casual question, and Zhao Sulan blushed and nodded, saying "hmm".
Lu Xingguang looked like he didn't want to talk.
Seeing that the two men didn't want to talk, Uncle Jiang tactfully shut up.
But Uncle Jiang could shut up, but the aunties and grandmas on the ox cart couldn't.
"Oh oh oh, this Zhao Zhiqing is blushing when she gets married."
"Yeah, why is Zhao Zhiqing's face so red? It can't be this morning..." While one aunt was speaking, she looked at another aunt, then covered her mouth and laughed.
Although that's what she said, it's true that Zhao Sulan's face looked strange today.
This red area looks like... could it be that he was beaten?
Thinking of this, several aunties and ladies looked at Lu Xingguang again.
This Lu Xingguang looks like a decent person, would he hit anyone?
When Lu Xingguang saw the aunties and grandmas on the ox cart looking at him with suspicion, he knew that these gossips were overthinking.
"Zhao Zhiqing didn't put on makeup properly this morning, and her face turned red when she was washing it." Lu Xingguang explained.
When Zhao Sulan heard this, her face fell.
Didn’t you say you like me the way I am? How come it's me who hasn't put on my makeup yet? ?
Before Zhao Sulan had time to ask what Lu Xingguang meant, Uncle Jiang started collecting money and preparing to set off.
After Lu Xingguang paid ten cents, Uncle Jiang drove the ox cart to the county town.
Zhao Sulan was a little depressed all the way.
After two hours' journey, the ox cart driven by Uncle Jiang finally arrived at the county town.
The wedding place is some distance away from Uncle Jiang’s ox cart.
Lu Xingguang wanted Uncle Jiang to send it over, but Uncle Jiang waved his hand and refused.
"I have to wait here. We all gather here."
If someone else had said this, Uncle Jiang would definitely help, but these two people are usually not friendly.
Such a scandal happened. When Uncle Jiang spoke to them in the morning, they ignored him.
Now you want Uncle Jiang to drive the ox cart over there?
Seeing that Uncle Jiang was difficult to talk to, Lu Xingguang took Zhao Sulan off the ox cart.
At this time, Zhao Sulan's face finally recovered a little.
There was no photo on the marriage certificate from 1976, so there was no need to take a photo.
At this time, the marriage certificate is like a certificate of honor.
The two walked for more than half an hour before they reached the wedding place.
There are quite a few people waiting to get their marriage certificates at this time.
Each and every one of their faces was filled with expressions of joy, happiness and shyness.
Lu Xingguang looked at Zhao Sulan beside him, and it was difficult for him to force a happy expression.
But I still controlled myself and smiled.
Zhao Sulan looked shy, she really wanted to marry Lu Xingguang.
She felt that Lu Xingguang's family was rich and would allow her to live a good life in the future.
This is an opportunity for Zhao Sulan to transform from a sparrow into a phoenix.
The staff at the marriage office asked for information from both parties and checked their marriage reports.
After confirmation, the two were issued a marriage certificate.
When Zhao Sulan held the marriage certificate, which looked like a certificate of honor, in her hand, she suddenly felt very lucky.
Lu Xingguang also felt that from this moment on, he had finally resolved the issues from a few days ago.
If you can get the marriage certificate smoothly, you won’t be sent to labor camp for hooliganism.
As for Zhao Sulan, if she behaved herself, she could let her live a good life and would not make things difficult for her.
If she was looking for trouble, Lu Xingguang might let her have a small accident.
The initiative shifted from Zhao Sulan to Lu Xingguang the moment the marriage certificate was obtained.
"We are getting married today. Can we take a photo together?" Zhao Sulan looked at Lu Xingguang. She wanted to take a photo with Lu Xingguang on her wedding day.
"Let's do it another day. You don't look well today, and I have a wound on my face." Lu Xingguang pointed to the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Sulan saw that the wound on Lu Xingguang’s face had indeed not healed yet. Since they were already married, she didn’t care about taking photos during these two days.
"Then let's go buy some things and then have a meal at the state-owned restaurant." Zhao Sulan said again.
This time, Lu Xingguang did not refuse.
He hadn't eaten breakfast and was a little hungry.
"Then let's eat first. After dinner, I'll take you to buy some things, including some wedding candies to share." Lu Xingguang said.
Zhao Sulan nodded and smiled shyly.
The two left their wedding place and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant.
Zhao Sulan looked at the menu and there were many things she wanted to eat, especially today was her wedding day, she wanted to eat something delicious.
Zhao Sulan ordered braised pork, four-happiness meatballs, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
"That's enough." Lu Xingguang stopped in time.
He is not a sucker, especially since he doesn't have much money left. If he spends it all on food, what will he use to build a house when the village grants him a residential plot?
"Okay." Seeing that she had already ordered three meat dishes, Zhao Sulan didn't order anything else.
After ordering two more rice dishes, Lu Xingguang paid seven yuan and eighty cents and nine kilograms of food coupons with tears in his eyes, and then waited with Zhao Sulan for the meal to be served.
"Xingguang, my family doesn't know I'm married yet. Can we take some time off and go back to my house?"
Zhao Sulan said to Lu Xingguang with great anticipation.
"In the first year that the educated youth go to the countryside, there is no leave to go back and visit their families," said Lu Xingguang.
"But now that we are married, do we have to give a dowry to my parents?" Zhao Sulan said again.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have other things for now, but when you get married, you always have to have a dowry.
"I don't have much money now. I will go back to the village and ask Secretary Jiang for housing land. Building a house will cost a lot of money." Lu Xingguang said again.
Now that I’m married, I can’t live in the educated youth camp anymore.
If possible, Lu Xingguang would like to be allocated a ready-made house in the village so that he can save the money on building a house.
Lu Xingguang had inquired and found out that even building the most basic red brick house would cost about a hundred yuan.
