Chapter 9 We will go to collect the certificate tomorrow
The main reason why the original owner agreed to marry Fan Lili was to fill his stomach and let himself survive first.
Because only by surviving can you have the chance to return to the city.
I remember when he came to Yongfeng County, the poorest county in Jiangning Province, from the provincial capital Ningcheng City, all he had in his possession except a few books was an old semiconductor radio.
Before joining the team in Yuanping Village, I thought that the county would take into account the issue of the next year's harvest and provide food rations for the educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside for the first year.
What I didn't expect was that when I checked in at the County Educated Youth Office, I found out that in addition to an Educated Youth Certificate and a red plastic book of quotations from great men, the county only distributed thirty kilograms of coarse grains to each of the educated youths who jumped in line.
.
For young people who are growing up, thirty kilograms of whole grains can only last for a month and a half at most. Everyone has to figure out how to eat the rest.
If the family conditions are good, you can reach out to your family. For example, Lin Nan, a classmate of Zhou Haihai Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, is the child of a military cadre. Among the educated youth in Yuanping Educated Youth Point, her family conditions are considered to be very good.
Although her family would often send some food subsidies, and although she had a good relationship with Zhou Haiyang, she couldn't resist the fact that every time the package arrived, before she could even take a bite or even take a look, she would be spotted by dozens of educated youths.
The educated youth snatched away everything like hungry wolves. Even Zhou Haiyang couldn't take care of it, let alone the original owner's turn.
For people like the original owner and Zhou Haiyang, their parents are working in remote farms for rehabilitation. The adults themselves have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they take care of their children?
Therefore, the original owner and Zhou Haiyang had no choice but to carry it on their own!
I remember that in the early days, the two of them were so hungry that their eyes were filled with stars every day, and they walked staggeringly like drunkards.
I was really hungry, so I dug grass roots in the ground, peeled bark from trees, caught voles in the fields, and finally even caught and ate mice in the manure pits.
One night less than half a year after arriving in Yuanping Village, the original owner was lying in bed, tossing and turning in hunger, unable to sleep, and heard Zhou Haiyang's bunk creaking.
After a while, Zhou Haiyang turned over and sat up, feeling his way out of bed in the dark.
There was a bit of moonlight that night, so Zhou Haiyang picked up the thermos bottle and shook it vigorously. Unexpectedly, the last sip of water in the thermos bottle had already been drunk by the original owner.
When the original owner saw this, he covered his mouth and almost laughed.
Zhou Haiyang sighed, put down the hot water bottle, and spun around anxiously.
After a while, I saw him starting to put on his clothes, pants, and shoes, and then he gently opened the door and went out.
The original owner felt puzzled and immediately got dressed and followed him out.
I saw Zhou Haiyang hurriedly walking forward.
At first, the original owner thought Zhou Haiyang was going to the female educated youth dormitory to seek help from Lin Nan.
The original owner deliberately slowed down and kept a distance.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Haiyang walked straight towards the courtyard of the village party secretary Fan Yanping's house.
I saw him wandering around the front and back of Fan's house for a while, then went straight to the chicken coop.
Then, he squatted in front of the chicken coop, quickly opened the door of the chicken coop, and stretched out his two big hands towards the chicken coop.
The original owner stood under the faint moonlight, staring, and was stunned by the unexpected scene in front of him! Oh my God! He was...
I saw Zhou Haiyang tinkering in the chicken coop for a while, holding something in his hand, stood up and left.
Just after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something again, then turned back and closed the chicken coop door.
Then, he quickly left the Fan family yard and walked less than ten meters when he saw the original owner standing on the roadside.
At this moment, the original owner had not yet completely come out of the scene just now. He stared straight at Zhou Haiyang and was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Haiyang winked at the original owner as if nothing had happened, smiled, and walked to his side.
"Liu Yan, are you following me?"
"What are you doing? In the middle of the night..."
Before the original owner could finish speaking, Zhou Haiyang stretched out his hand and handed him two hot things, which were eggs!
Only then did the original owner realize: "So you're here to touch the eggs?"
"Hey, I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back."
"By the way, why didn't you get a chicken? We have been here for almost half a year, and the fat and water in our stomachs have long been..."
Zhou Haiyang interrupted the original owner: "What's wrong with me? You can't cut off someone's financial path, right?!
Besides, where can you kill a stolen chicken? It would be weird if no one discovered it."
"Hey! You are a very thoughtful thief..."
"I'm really hungry! Otherwise I wouldn't have thought of such a shameless thing."
"Come on! Stop pretending to be a gentleman..."
"I touched four in total, and we happened to have two each. Let's eat quickly!
Hey, be careful, there are two soft-shelled ones that I dug out of the chicken's butt, I can't wait any longer!" Zhou Haiyang said as he peeled off the soft-shelled eggs and poured them into his mouth.
"Damn, that's so damaging. Picking an egg out of a chicken's ass. Only you, Zhou Haiyang, can think of such a dirty trick!"
"Hehe! I'm sorry! Thanks to your good luck, I came away empty-handed several times before..." Zhou Haiyang looked at the original owner awkwardly.
"Ah? Have you been here several times?" The original owner was dumbfounded!
…
Soon, the secret was finally discovered.
Someone found egg shells several times on the road from Fan's home to the educated youth spot.
But since the Fan family remained silent, no one bothered to investigate the matter.
It wasn't until Fan Lili married the original owner half a year ago that the original owner knew about it. In fact, Fan's family knew it all.
If you find that the hens laying eggs at home are getting more and more abnormal, can you not be suspicious? Just don't expose it.
…
At that time, Fan Lili had just graduated from high school and returned to her hometown. When she saw the fair, tall and handsome original owner, she immediately fell in love with him and launched a fierce pursuit of him.
First, I started washing clothes for the original owner, and then washed everything from underwear to socks.
Then I bring some steamed buns, sweet potatoes and eggs from home to the original owner every day.
Under the attack of Fan Lili's sugar-coated bullets, the original owner did not refuse anyone who came, and without even a token resistance, he took them all and surrendered obediently.
In the six months since they got married, Fan Lili felt sorry for him, so she asked her father to arrange a job for the original owner with work points.
Although the work score is not high, I no longer have to do heavy work, and I can wear clean clothes every day.
Fan Yanping had a daughter in his old age, and the pain was terrible. The family also doted on her, so he obeyed her words and didn't care about adding the original owner's mouth.
As a result, the original owner became a weakling in the eyes of everyone in Yuanping Village!
It was passed down to ten people and hundreds of people, and the entire Tianyuan Commune knew the name of the original owner.
Before, I didn't care what others said, because the original owner's thoughts were not here at all.
I thought to myself, sooner or later I would have to leave this hellish place, and it didn’t matter what others wanted to say.
But things are different now. Liu Yan, who was reborn into this world, hopes to live a good life with Fan Lili and does not want others to point fingers at him.
Therefore, he must reshape the image of the original owner.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan couldn't help but hugged Fan Lili into his arms and said softly: "Lili, let's go get the certificate tomorrow!"
"Get, get the certificate?" Fan Lili couldn't help but trembled when she heard this. Then, she shook her head and looked at Liu Yan in disbelief: "No, you mean to get the marriage certificate?"
Liu Yan nodded vigorously.
Fan Lili asked differently: "Is it true?"
Liu Yan said firmly: "Well, early tomorrow morning, we will go to the brigade headquarters to ask dad to get the certificate, and we will go to the commune immediately to get the certificate.
Then, let my parents, brother, sister-in-law and my whole family come to our house tomorrow night. The whole family will have a good meal and thank them for taking care of me over the years..."
Hearing what Liu Yan said, Fan Lili couldn't help but fell into deep thought:
In recent years, relevant departments have placed high demands on married educated youth returning to the city.
Once an educated youth gets married locally in a rural area, his or her household registration will have no chance of returning to the city.
Even if you return to the city one day, you will become a black household in the city and cannot enjoy the supply quota of commercial grain and other non-staple food for urban residents.
Therefore, in order to facilitate their return to the city one day, although the original owner and Fan Lili had been married for half a year, they never received a marriage certificate and just held a simple engagement ceremony.
…
At this moment, Liu Yan thought:
In China, uncertified marriages are not protected. Both the man and the woman are still unmarried in their files and household registrations.
Although in most rural and mountainous areas of China, this kind of relationship between husband and wife is customary and has become commonplace.
But I have to say that the original owner in the previous life was very selfish! He was a very irresponsible man! No! He was not a man at all!
But in this life, Liu Yan vowed that he would never let Fan Lili follow him like this again.
Obtaining the certificate is the top priority for the young couple!
A satisfactory explanation must be given to Fan Lili and everyone in the Fan family as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
