Chapter 15 Marriage Certificate
It was almost eleven o'clock when Yun Ange and Qin Lingnian arrived at the commune.
Qin Lingnian didn't even take a breath, but Yun Angge's feet were almost broken, and he was sweating profusely and even looked miserable from the heat.
Fortunately, they met a bullock cart that had just returned from the county town. Qin Lingnian had a conversation with the driver and paid 1 yuan to hire the cart to take them back and forth.
It was almost one o'clock in the county, and it was time for lunch. The civil affairs department was not open yet, so Qin Lingnian took Yun Angge to eat first.
Originally, he wanted to bring the coachman to eat together, but he said he brought dry food, and Qin Lingnian didn't pretend to be generous.
In those days, eating at a state-owned restaurant required not only money but also food coupons. No matter money or food coupons, everyone was very tight on it. Qin Lingnian was not rich, so naturally he would not insist on treating the old man to a meal.
Qin Lingnian had just sent last month's allowance home a week ago, and Yun Angge guessed that he probably didn't have much money either.
Because it was explained in the novel that he would leave the necessary food expenses and a small amount of pocket money, and send the rest of the allowance back home. Although reality was not 100% consistent with the novel, the difference would not be too big. Even if he kept some private money, it would not be much, so Yun Angge only ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
In the past, Yun Angge would come to the county town once or twice a month. He was no stranger to state-owned restaurants and would always eat here to satisfy his cravings.
Not only would she have a full meal herself, she would also bring some braised pork or dumplings for Luan Yingjie every time.
Therefore, the salesperson was very familiar with Yun Angge, and was quite surprised to see that she only ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles today.
Normally, when this woman came by herself, she would order two meat dishes at once and take some back. But today she brought a man with her, who looked like her boyfriend, and she only ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles. I guess she wanted to save money for the man.
I never thought that such a greedy woman would save money for a man.
Qin Lingnian had a hard life since childhood, so he didn't have any requirements for food. As long as he could fill his stomach, he was fine. He ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
In fact, he also wants to eat meat, but the conditions do not allow it.
The noodles are made of pure white flour, with cabbage and chopped green onions added, and a few drops of sesame oil and some vinegar poured on them. The aroma of sesame oil mixed with the smell of acetic acid really increases your appetite.
"I can't finish it, so I'll pick some for you." Qin Lingnian had just put the bowl in front of Yun Angge when she picked up a chopstick full of noodles and put it into his bowl.
Seeing Yun Angge was about to pick up another piece after finishing one, Qin Lingnian hurriedly stopped him, "You eat first, and give it to me if you can't finish it."
The bowl was very big, but now everyone's stomach was empty and their appetite seemed particularly large, especially with the rare white flour. He believed that Yun Angge would definitely finish it. She probably thought that he had a big appetite and was afraid that he would not be full.
Thinking of this, Qin Lingnian couldn't help but look up and take a deep look at the woman opposite him.
In just a few hours, her huge change shocked him again!
Yun Angge picked up another spoonful and forced it into Qin Lingnian's bowl. His gentle tone was sincere, "I just recovered from my fever. My stomach is upset and I can't eat much."
"..." Qin Lingnian's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. Well, he was just being too sentimental.
After Yun Angge's reminder, Qin Lingnian realized that she had not fully recovered yet. Seeing that her lips were dry and chapped, she asked the salesperson for a bowl of boiled water.
After eating the noodles, the two went to the civil affairs department and waited for half an hour for the staff to come to work.
They both had complete documents and it was a military marriage, so the clerk was very enthusiastic and they got the marriage certificate smoothly in no time.
"Congratulations to both of you, I wish you a long and happy marriage and a happy marriage."
"Thank you, comrade!" Qin Lingnian took the marriage certificate that looked like a certificate and read it carefully twice.
Even though he had the marriage certificate in his hand, he still felt it was unreal, like he was dreaming.
Although he came back this time just for this piece of paper, he had given up because of the irresistible changes. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events this morning, and he actually got the marriage certificate.
Even Qin Lingnian's heart was filled with ripples, let alone Yun Angge.
Although she had lived two lives and miraculously traveled through a book, and had seen the world, she still couldn't remain calm when looking at this piece of paper.
She just got married like that!
A thin piece of paper with her and Qin Lingnian's names written on it. From now on, the two of them will be tied tightly together!
This marriage was not only quick, but also hasty!
It's so sloppy, it's a bit unbelievable!
Just as Yun Angge was standing on tiptoe, looking closely at Qin Lingnian and thinking deeply about the marriage certificate, the man folded the marriage certificate and handed it to the woman with a gentle and sacred movement, "You keep it! Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Yun Angge nodded, silently taking the marriage certificate that locked her in, her body trembling slightly.
Alas, the knot has been tied, so stop lamenting!
I will live a good life with this man in the future!
She doesn't seek to be rich or famous, nor does she seek to shine in this era. She just wants to live a peaceful and happy life.
Yun Angge didn't have anything to buy, and she didn't have any money with her, so she followed Qin Lingnian into the supply and marketing cooperative and looked around silently.
After walking around, Qin Lingnian asked his obedient wife, who was following him closely, "What do you want to buy?"
Yun Ange shook his head, "I don't have anything to buy."
She didn't want to be polite with Qin Lingnian, because she really didn't want to buy anything.
The original owner would never let herself be wronged. A lot of Qin Lingnian's monthly allowance was spent on her. In addition to buying all kinds of food to reward herself, she would often buy some fashionable fabrics to make clothes.
In fact, she didn't think highly of these fabrics at all. She had brought a lot of clothes from Shanghai, otherwise those clothes would be too conspicuous to wear in the village. If she wore them, people would make a big fuss about her status. She would never wear these coarse cloth clothes.
Yun Angge said so, and Qin Lingnian did not pretend to be a good husband in front of others to force her to go shopping. He just bought two tangerine candies and three kinds of floral cotton fabrics, bright red plaid, pink plaid, and dark blue.
"We are in such a rush that we won't have a wedding banquet. I will just make you a dress out of a piece of cloth, and have my mother and little sister make one for you as well."
"Okay!" Yun Angge nodded, but his favorability towards Qin Lingnian increased significantly in his heart.
Although people in this era don't pay much attention to rituals, especially rural people, today is their wedding day after all. He probably felt that he had tied her down by simply getting a marriage certificate, which was a bit unfair to her, so he made her a dress out of flowered cloth to make up for the guilt in his heart.
Moreover, he openly bought cloth for his mother and younger sister in front of her, and did not give them money to do it privately. This was enough to show that he would not do anything behind the scenes and would put everything out in the open.
A couple should be honest with each other when they live together.
After buying the things, the two of them took a ox cart back to the commune.
On the way, Qin Lingnian noticed that Yun Angge would rub her feet from time to time, and guessed that her feet must have blisters from rubbing. He discussed with the driver and gave him an extra 30 cents to send them to the village.
When I arrived at the village, the sun had just set and the sky was still bright.
Many villagers gathered near Qin Lingnian's home, including men, women, young and old.
There was no farm work to do right now, so everyone was bored and would often gather in groups of three to chat. However, there were no gathering places near Qin Lingnian's home, but today, dozens of people gathered there, apparently waiting for Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge to come back.
"They're back! They're back."
Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge got off the car at the entrance of the village. When they appeared after crossing an alley, some sharp-eyed people saw them and shouted excitedly.
"Lingnian, Ange, you're back."
"Have you got your marriage certificate? Let's see what it looks like."
"I've lived most of my life and never seen a marriage certificate!"
“I haven’t seen it either…”
Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge were surrounded by dozens of men, women, old and young, so they had to show their marriage certificate.
Yun Ange took out the marriage certificate from his pocket and carefully unfolded it for everyone to see.
"Hey, just look at it, don't touch it. What if you break it?" Seeing a few old ladies who were about to touch it, an uncle blocked their way.
Everyone was watching and chattering about it. Finally, an old man saw Qin Lingnian's stern face and thought he was impatient, so he quickly took out a red paper envelope from his pocket.
"Your Highness, this is just a small gift from me. Please don't think it's too little."
Without waiting for Qin Lingnian to respond, dozens of adults present also reached into their pockets.
They waited for most of the day not only to see the marriage certificate, but more importantly to give Qin Lingnian a box.
In fact, they didn't need to give it to Qin Lingnian in person, and the same went for Qin's mother. They just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Qin Lingnian and let him know who gave him the box.
"Ange and I appreciate everyone's kindness. Thank you, elders, brothers and sisters." Qin Lingnian raised his hand to block the red-waving hands, forced a smile, and politely declined, "I have to go back to the army tomorrow morning, so I can't invite everyone to the wedding banquet. I can only treat everyone to some wedding candy to share in the joy."
As he spoke, he opened two large candies of tangerine peel and distributed handfuls of them to everyone.
Not to mention that they would not give Qin Lingnian any wedding candy if there was no wedding banquet, the villagers were also willing to give him some boxes. After all, this was a rare opportunity, not only to get closer to him and enhance their relationship, but also to do him a favor.
Qin Lingnian also guessed what these people were thinking. No matter how enthusiastic and sincere they were, he still resolutely refused. In the end, he declined and said that he would give it to them when he came back to visit relatives and hold a banquet next time.
Finally, everyone put the red 늵 back into their pockets.
After eating the wedding candy, Qin Lingnian took Yun Angge home.
Across the alley, Qin Feng's family was experiencing undercurrents.
Qin Feng, Qin Wanliang, Li Xian'e and their family, as well as Luan Yingjie were sitting in the yard and talking. Even though they deliberately blocked out the lively and festive atmosphere outside, they could still hear it clearly.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and stared at his injured left index finger. His narrow fox eyes were filled with hatred, and one conspiracy after another popped up in his mind...
Luan Yingjie was still chatting with Qin Wanliang, seemingly unaffected by the outside world, and not expressing all his emotions like Qin Feng, but his heart felt like it had been stabbed several times by a knife soaked in old vinegar.
He hated Yun Angge's betrayal, but he was also sad and unwilling!
After all, apart from his background, he likes Yun Angge from head to toe!
Even though she and Qin Lingnian had already obtained their marriage certificate, he believed that she still loved him in her heart, so she was still his.
Except for him, Luan Yingjie, no man is qualified to possess Yun Angge's body.
But, Qin Lingnian, this dirt-legged guy, will definitely possess Yun Angge's body tonight!
That night, Yun Angge took off her clothes. Even though the moonlight was dim, he couldn't see her body clearly, but he imagined
What a beautiful body she has...
The beautiful body that was supposed to belong to him was being ruined by Qin Lingnian. He hated it, he envied it, he was jealous!
There is nothing he can do!
He had been staying at Qin Feng's house and refused to leave, trying to use the excuse of apologizing to Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge to invite them to Qin Feng's house for dinner, and then get Qin Lingnian drunk together with Qin Wanliangye and others.
Make him so drunk that he can't do anything!
When the time came, he found an opportunity to persuade Yun Angge to go on a date with him at the old place, and then spend the wedding night with her on behalf of Qin Lingnian.
He talked until his mouth was dry and finally convinced Qin Wanliang. However, the crazy Qin Feng refused to agree, so Qin Wanliang backed out. As it was getting dark, his plan was obviously going to fail.
But he was still struggling, hoping to persuade Qin Feng...
