Chapter 83 I got the certificate, but I feel like I’m sleepwalking
After taking a leave and getting on the jeep heading to the town, Song Shuyan woke up from a dream and felt that it was so unreal.
She quietly glanced at Zhou Jingshen who was in the driver's seat. He was looking straight ahead attentively, his big, bony hands resting nonchalantly on the steering wheel, the corners of his lips slightly raised, the sunlight shining on his handsome cheeks, blurring the sharpness of his brows.
As she watched, she noticed that he was blushing.
Zhou Jingshen coughed lightly, looking somewhat innocent yet somewhat embarrassed, "What are you looking at?"
He still looked straight ahead with a focused expression.
Got caught.
Song Shuyan had only this one thought.
She looked away shyly, clutched her seatbelt, and said seriously, "I didn't see anything."
She turned her head to look out the window. On the roadside ahead, there was a woman who was wrapped up tightly, with only a numb and tired face showing. She was walking tremblingly, taking one step at a time.
Her eyes were empty.
He was dressed sloppily, with layers of clothes, the top ones shorter than the bottom ones.
She stopped as the car passed her.
After watching the car go away, he continued to move forward slowly.
Song Shuyan looked back.
No matter how you look at this woman, she seems to have some mental illness.
She sighed.
She was powerless.
There are so many people who have a difficult life in this world.
The car drove all the way to the Civil Affairs Department. The process was very simple and in less than ten minutes, we got the freshly issued marriage certificate.
"Getting married now?"
Looking at the thin piece of paper in her hand without even a photo on it, she still had the leisure to think, isn't this too much of a joke?
When Zhou Jingshen heard her sigh, he thought she regretted it and pursed his lips nervously.
"Should we go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some things?"
Song Shuyan was still confused, "What to buy?"
"Wedding candy."
"Three turns and one ring."
"Make you new clothes."
Zhou Jingshen thought, make her a red suit to wear during the banquet.
Song Shuyan came back to his senses and blinked.
"We've already got our marriage certificate. When will the house you applied for be available?"
Zhou Jingshen's uneasy heart was suddenly swallowed back into his stomach.
Some inappropriate images flashed through his mind, his Adam's apple rolled, the fingertips hanging at his sides moved unconsciously, the veins on his arms hidden under his neat sleeves bulged, and his face turned uncontrollably red and warm.
She wants to live with him.
Suddenly, only this sentence remained in his mind.
Song Shuyan continued, "What is three turns and one ring?"
Zhou Jingshen wasn't quite sure, he just remembered something like, "Bicycle? Tape recorder? Sewing machine?"
What was the other one? He frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't remember it.
He saw Song Shuyan nodded thoughtfully. She smiled faintly and continued, "You can buy the bicycle and tape recorder after the housing in the family compound is approved. If you buy them now, where will you put them?"
"If we take it back to the Youth League Home, we'll have to move out later. It's such a hassle."
"Don't buy a sewing machine. I don't know how to use it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative. They didn't buy big items, but they still bought some candies and shared them with everyone when they got back.
The news that he came to see her and she asked for leave to go with him to get a marriage certificate has probably spread throughout the village.
Of course, we have to treat everyone to wedding candy.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Jingshen saw her walking straight towards the candy counter, so he stopped her and said, "How about we go look at clothes first?"
The counter on the second floor sells ready-made clothes.
If you really don't like it, you can still ask for some cloth and ask the tailor in the corner on the first floor to make it.
"No need for that?" Song Shuyan really felt that the clothes at that time were tacky. She was not interested and could not accept going around and buying an ugly piece of clothing.
She felt that the clothes she brought from Yanjing were all tacky.
Not to mention the clothes sold in this small county town.
Let the tailor do it. The tailor will make styles that are commonly worn on the market.
Asking her to draw the style she likes is something she doesn't have the ability to do.
It's just... quite helpless.
As a member of the crossing army.
She is as useless as can be.
In addition, living in this era where people do less and make fewer mistakes except working hard, she just wants to give up.
If we want to work hard, we have to wait until the college entrance examination is resumed and reform and opening up take place.
There is no need to rush to make money.
Since I can't do anything, I can only find a good-looking partner to marry and enjoy life.
Two months ago, she watched a video saying that a man is sixty after he turns twenty-five.
She doesn't want to experience young men while she is still young.
Is it time to get involved in an older-younger-man relationship now that you're past your prime age?
She can accept it, but people of this era can't accept it, right?
Song Shuyan thought about it in a mess.
Zhou Jingshen did not allow her to be refused and led her upstairs.
The lady at the counter saw Zhou Jingshen dressed neatly. Although the female comrade following behind him looked a little dull, she was very pretty!
A beautiful nose and starry eyes.
The cherry lips are charming and beautiful.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman walk together, and judging from their clothes, they don’t lack money.
Everyone is naturally enthusiastic about recruiting.
"Come and see the new winter clothes!"
"Look at this fabric, it's thick and durable, and it's filled with new cotton, so warm!"
Song Shuyan subconsciously looked towards the counter.
All of them are blue, gray and black, solid-color Zhongshan suits.
Very simple.
Zhou Jingshen took her around for a while, but didn't see any red clothes for sale, so he gave up.
He remembered that the counter downstairs sold red cloth, a bright red.
He volunteered, "Shall we go downstairs and take a look?"
The older sisters saw the two of them walking around looking but not buying anything, and they all thought they had made a mistake.
He grumbled quietly, "Turns out they are just two poor fellows."
When Song Shuyan heard this, he stopped and was about to argue with his elder sister, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.
never mind.
Why waste your time arguing with others over the opinions of strangers?
There is no reward for winning.
Zhou Jingshen frowned.
Song Shuyan tugged at his sleeve and said, "Forget it, let's go."
The two went downstairs, and Song Shuyan pulled his sleeve to buy candy.
Zhou Jingshen also wanted to go to the counter selling fabrics.
Song Shuyan was puzzled, "This way!"
"Why do you always want to go that way?"
Zhou Jingshen said sincerely, "We have to make new clothes for the wedding, right? We can afford it!"
Song Shuyan: "Forget it, the clothes here are uglier than my usual clothes."
"Then we'll buy some cloth and ask a tailor to make it."
Song Shuyan whispered to him, "I've seen it before. The tailor at the supply and marketing cooperative can only make a few common styles, and the ones she makes don't look good."
"Or maybe just forget it."
"Let's make new clothes when we return to Yanjing."
Nowadays, who makes new clothes every year?
It's all patches on top of patches.
He should be happy that she is so frugal and manages the household.
Zhou Jingshen seemed to be thinking about something.
Thinking about it, the clothes his mother usually wears are made by an old tailor whom he has known for many years. The styles are all very generous and simple. Since Shuyan doesn't like the styles of clothes here, he can ask his mother to help him make a few sets and send them over.
