Chapter 166 Going to the Town to Register for Household Registration
In the morning, a rooster from somewhere crowed one after another, waking up the sleeping villagers. Wisps of smoke rose from the roofs of every household in the village. People carrying buckets to fetch water came and went one after another. Children who were going to school set out with their friends.
The laughter of children, the shouting of adults, the crowing of roosters, and the mooing of buffaloes created a morning symphony.
Ziyi and Yike practiced boxing and kicking in the courtyard, and they also had a friendly sparring match. Li Haoran returned to his home in the paradise early with some dry food.
Today Ziyi went to work in the production team, so the two of them went to have breakfast after discussing. After breakfast, Ziyi hurried out to work amid the sound of the radio.
When the loud voice of the village production team leader sounded, the members would go to the production team headquarters and listen to the production team leader's arrangements for the day's work. Most of the time at noon, the scorer would shout in the field, and the members would go off work to eat lunch. The same was true in the evening. Once the scorer or production team leader shouted, the day's work was over. If it is the busy farming season in summer, we have to go to work at two or three o'clock in the morning, and the sky is full of stars when we finish work at night. In rural areas, it is common to start work early in the morning, work late at night, and be in high demand for night rice harvesting.
After Ziyi left, Yike rode his bicycle to find the team leader. She took Ziyi's household registration book and her own household registration certificate, and went to the team leader to get a certificate. Then she could go to the town police station to add her household registration to Ziyi's household registration book.
In this era, the whole family shared one household registration book. The cover was made of cardboard with two air holes, which could be riveted or threaded with ropes, and the inner pages could be added or removed at any time.
In this era, family background is very important. One must fill in one's composition and zodiac sign in the household registration booklet. If there are outsiders in the family, they must also fill out a temporary resident registration form or a guest resident registration form. If the temporary resident or borrowed guest leaves, they must go to the police station to cancel their temporary residence registration. The first page of the household registration booklet is printed with the seals of "Zi City Revolutionary Committee Public Security Bureau" and Shanfeng Town Police Station, and the inner page also has the personal seal of the household registration police.
Yike arrived at the captain's house. When the captain knew her purpose, he took Yike to the captain's office and wrote a certificate on a piece of paper. Yike thanked the captain, put the certificate in her backpack and rode her bicycle to the town.
The road from the village to the town was still as bumpy as ever. Even though I slowed down, my butt still hurt when I arrived in the town.
Yike rode all the way to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, looked inside, and didn't see his cousin Baoer, so he went straight to her house.
As soon as I pushed open the half-open door of Liu Baoer's house, I saw the old man sitting on a recliner and basking in the sun comfortably.
"Grandpa Liu, you are at home." Yi Ke said with a smile.
"Hey, Yike girl, you're here, come in, come in." The old man opened his eyes and saw that it was Yike, and said happily.
Yike pushed the bicycle to the wall and put it away, saying, "Grandpa, isn't it hot under the sun? How about I help you move the chair under the tree?"
"It's not hot, it's not hot. Yike, how come you have time to come to town today? Are you shopping?"
"No," Yi Ke went to the old man and filled his empty cup with water from the kettle, "Grandpa, where is Sister Baoer? No one was seen at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"In the room. She is on vacation today." The old man picked up the cup and drank water, saying, "You are a good girl. You know that grandpa is thirsty."
"Then I'll go find Sister Baoer. I want her to accompany me to the police station to register my household registration. My household registration has been transferred here."
"Then go ask her to accompany you. She happens to know someone at the police station." The old man waved his hand and motioned Yike to go in.
Yike thought to himself that he had made the right decision to come to Liu Baoer. It would be easier to get things done if he had an acquaintance there.
When I went to Liu Baoer's room, she was still sleeping soundly in the quilt. What a blessed girl.
"Sister Baoer, Sister Baoer." Yike shouted beside the bed, "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt."
"Stop it, I still want to sleep." Liu Baoer muttered and turned over.
Yi Ke laughed. This young lady could really sleep. "Cousin, cousin, if you don't get up, I'll leave."
"Who, cousin?" Liu Baoer's eyes suddenly opened. When she saw it was Yi Ke, she hugged her hands and pulled hard, and Yi Ke fell on the bed. "Cousin, I didn't expect it to be you. Come, sleep with me for another night."
Yike stretched out his hand and tickled Liu Baoer's armpits. Liu Baoer laughed "Hahahahaha" non-stop, "Are you awake? Are you still asleep?"
"No, I don't want to sleep anymore, haha." Liu Baoer quickly surrendered, crawled out of the quilt and put on her clothes.
He looked at this lucky girl with a smile. In this day and age, girls who can still sleep in are as rare as rare animals.
"Cousin, how come you have time to come here?" Liu Baoer braided her thick hair into two braids at the dressing table and tied a bow at the end of her hair with a pink hairband. She asked proudly, "Does it look good?" "It looks good!" Yi Ke nodded honestly and said, "My cousin has thick black hair, it looks good!"
"You are the only one who has a sweet mouth," Liu Baoer looked at herself in the mirror proudly and proudly made a beautiful lip movement.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Liu Baoer took out the breakfast her mother had left for her and asked Yi Ke to eat with her. While eating, he asked Yi Ke what he was doing in town. Knowing that Yike needed to go to the police station to register his household registration, he said he would take Yike to handle it without waiting for Yike to speak.
"Cousin, you're at the right place to come find me. I have a classmate whose brother is a policeman who specializes in household registration. When my classmate knew he was in our town, he introduced us to each other. Let's go find him now." After breakfast, Liu Baoer took Yi Ke out.
"Grandpa, Yike and I are going to do some work first. Tell mom when she comes back and cook for one more person at noon." Liu Baoer said to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, I will go back after I finish my work and won't eat. Don't make any more." Yi Ke refused hurriedly.
Liu Baoer tapped Yi Ke's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "What? Do you think the food at my house is not tasty?"
"No, really, I still have to go back and make lunch for Ziyi." Yike explained.
"I don't care. If you don't eat here, I won't go with you." Liu Baoer said, "Besides, your aunt has something to ask you. If you don't come, she will ask for leave to go to your house."
"Okay, I'm afraid of you. I'll stay for dinner. Is that okay, my cousin?" Yi Ke said pretending to be afraid.
"That's right." Liu Baoer laughed as if his plan had succeeded.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the police station...
