Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 91 Picking up the Bride
"What? Buying a house? What are you bragging about?"

Everyone saw that Lin Yan got a women's bicycle and was envious.

More than 200! In addition to feeling that the street vendors make money, I have to say that the blind migrants are really willing to spend money.

But how is it possible to buy a house?

Mother Lin snorted and said proudly, "Our Ah Yan already owns two houses of 32 square meters one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square. My son-in-law bought them for her!"

After these words were spoken, no one found it strange no matter what Lin's mother gave Yanyan to eat.

They were just surprised, how could one make money by setting up stalls?

It’s 32 square meters with a small yard, and it’s so close to Tiananmen Square. It would cost at least or yuan.

Some people didn't believe it. Lin's mother also said that there was still 2,000 yuan left. But the IOU was in the name of her son-in-law.

This makes it much more credible.

I can't even complain about this! This is really too much!
Lin Yan got on the train and had a hard time getting off. It was mid-July and the train was packed with people. She couldn't take a shower for three days and three nights!
Some people even brought chickens and ducks on board. They pulled them along the way, and the taste was very sour and refreshing.

However, it is much better than the first time I experienced this when I went to the countryside.

Fang Mingche came directly to the city to pick her up, saving her from having to suffer alone for a few more hours.

Lin Yan didn't bring any gifts, only her own change of clothes.

When they reached the exit, Fang Mingche reached out and took it, "Come on, I'll take you to eat and take a shower."

He got a room so he could rest up before getting on the bus.

The tickets have been bought, just go there when the time comes.

However, there were no hourly rooms available at the time, so I could only book it for a day.

Lin Yan saw him, then thought about how dirty she was, and thought it would be better to take a shower.

As for the expenses, let's not consider them for now. She usually works very hard at the tea stall, so she feels at ease spending the money.

When Lin Yan entered the room and took a shower, Fang Mingche was sitting in the lobby downstairs.

He originally came alone to book a single room, but now he brought a lesbian with him. The person who registered was keeping an eye on him.

If two people check into one room without a marriage certificate, they will be considered as an adulterer if they are not careful.

There was no way he would come into the room together.

The person who registered the case asked him, "Comrade, who is that to you?"

"My partner got a marriage certificate and came to my hometown to handle the formalities."

The man raised his eyebrows, "So your partner is from a big city?"

Those who come by train must be from the provincial capital at least.

"Yes, she's from the capital."

"You are really amazing! Except for the years before, when people went to work in the countryside, there were no girls from big cities who would marry in our small place."

Fang Mingche smiled and said nothing more.

Lin Yan packed herself up, wrung out the washed clothes, put them in a separate bag, put them in her luggage, and carried them downstairs.

She had washed her hair, which was hanging on her shoulders and was still a little wet.

The long-distance bus is about to depart, so I have to go to the bus station to catch the bus.

There is only one trip a day, if you miss it you have to stay in the city and book another room.

The two planned to complete the remarriage procedures before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed in the afternoon.

Both of them have their letters of introduction, medical examination certificates, etc. ready.

Lin Yan opened a business in the street office and a nearby hospital, so the neighbors knew that she was a "homeless vagrant".

Fang Mingche's was opened in the brigade and district hospitals.

This is not the first time, and I know what I need.

There was no need to climb onto the roof of the bus to carry a bag. Fang Mingche stuffed it directly under the seat. After two hours of swaying, he changed buses again when he arrived at the county town. This time he got off the bus directly at the station and rushed to the commune. At around 4:00, he went in to handle the formalities.

Nowadays, people who work don’t dare to leave work early before the appointed time, and they are still working after 4 o’clock.

Lin Yan's hair had dried and was tied into two fishbone braids again.

Both of them were wearing white short-sleeved shirts, which was perfect for taking marriage certificate photos.

After getting the new marriage certificate, Lin Yan smiled and said, "This is the third one."

Fang Mingche said: "I won't change it again."

He picked up Lin Yan's bag and walked out with her.

It takes 15 minutes to ride a bike from the commune to the village, or an hour to walk.

By now, the tractors that had gone out to buy things in the village had already gone back. But it was the dog days of summer, and the sun was blazing hot.

Could Fang Mingche let his wife walk back with him in the scorching sun?

He gave the branch secretary four dollars and asked the tractor to make a special trip for this purpose.

The secretary handed it to the tractor driver and asked him to use it to refuel. He also said cheerfully: "Whoever wants to use the village tractor to pick up the bride in the future will pay the same price."

So, after we left the Civil Affairs Bureau, a tractor with a big red flower tied to the front drove over to pick us up.

The carriage was cleaned up nicely, with a big red wedding character pasted on it and two medium-sized armchairs placed in the carriage.

There were also some villagers sitting on both sides of the carriage who had heard about this and were trying to hitchhike back to the village.

The tractor drivers had warned us in advance that we would not bring chickens, ducks, or anything with a smell. So no one brought anything, only things they bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lin Yan smiled, "This treatment is better than the first time."

Fang Mingche thought that the branch secretary was quite aware of making money by providing services. He felt that the four dollars was well spent.

"Let's go, get in the car, and go home!" He got in first, then pulled Lin Yan.

The fellow hitchhikers kept saying, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

Fang Mingche smiled and took out a handful of candy for them to share.

It was hard candy I bought, not a good one, but it was pretty good in the countryside.

You can ask your cousin to buy something better, or even buy White Rabbit, but you can't show off your wealth like that!

There are so many people in the village, and if each person gets two (happy events must come in pairs, at least two), it is not a small number. If you buy White Rabbit, it will be more expensive.

He had bought new clothes for his family and brought BJ roast duck, and many villagers had speculated that he had made a lot of money.

If someone came to ask for money, it would be unreasonable to lend money to one family but not to the other family, as they are all from the Fang family. But if they all lent money, it would be too much for them.

So, I just bought some hard candy as a token of my appreciation.

The villagers talked to Lin Yan along the way, praising Fang Mingche for his caring nature. She got a free ride from him and ate wedding candy, so it wouldn't cost her anything to say a few more nice words.

Lin Yan responded with a smile, obviously in a good mood.

Fang Mingche also had a smile on his face, which was really a great emotional gift. Besides, the more lively the bride-receiving ceremony, the better!

The Fang family members did not go to work this afternoon. They took a day off and slaughtered chickens and ducks at home.

At that time, only the Party Secretary, the Production Team Leader, the Brigade's Accountant, the Cashier, and Brother Mingfeng's family will be invited to the table. No gifts will be accepted!

Yuan Shufen was definitely the main force, Fang's mother was also busy. Fang Minghua was responsible for killing chickens, ducks, fish, etc.

The three younger ones were also assigned tasks.

Fang Jian and Fang Fang were cleaning the floor at the moment. Fang Kang was going to sit on the bed for his uncle and aunt in the evening.

Big red wedding characters were also pasted all over the room.

According to Fang's mother, letting her grandson sit on the bed would allow her to have another boy next year.
