Chapter 65: Stealing a Chicken, Losing a Rice [Seeking Follow-up Reading]
In the attic, Du Ming was putting on his pants and was frightened to death by the roar.
He quickly agreed, put on his clothes, poked his head down from the attic, glanced flatteringly at Li Jieshi who was sitting below, and said, "Uncle Jieshi, I never said I was irresponsible."
"I haven't arranged any work yet after I came back. I thought I would go back to pick up Qiaozhi after I arranged the work and everything is stable."
When saying this, Du Ming felt like he had eaten dog shit and was extremely disgusted.
But I still have to say things against my will.
Li Jieshi and Li Qiaozhi never dreamed that Du Ming had been in the house the whole time.
Li Jieshi never expected that Du Ming would say such words to him.
Du Ming's words made Li Jieshi and his daughter seem narrow-minded.
Li Qiaozhi was so moved that she almost cried and said, "I knew Du Ming wouldn't be so heartless... Look at what this has become! Dad, we shouldn't have done a good thing in such a shameful way!"
Li Jieshi felt a little ashamed.
"Get down here quickly!" Du Bayi yelled at his son again.
Du Ming hurriedly lowered the ladder from the attic and then climbed down to the ground.
Du Ming is very nervous at the moment.
He was worried that Li Jieshi would pull a gun from his waist and blow his head off.
"Hello Uncle Jieshi, hello Qiaozhi!"
"You came too suddenly. If you had informed me earlier, I would have treated you well."
Du Ming spoke in a flattering manner as he took out a box of wrinkled Daqianmen cigarettes from his trouser pocket. With trembling hands, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Jieshi.
When Li Jieshi saw Du Ming like this, he knew that Du Ming was also very scared.
It seems that Haoran's analysis is correct.
The other party is actually also very afraid of things.
Li Jieshi took the cigarette and put it to his lips. Du Ming quickly struck a match and helped Li Jieshi light the cigarette.
Du Bayi found that his son was quite capable.
This conflict should not be aroused, so he felt relieved.
Du Ming never looked at Wang Haoran from beginning to end.
Wang Haoran knew that this thief Sun was holding a grudge against him.
But it doesn't matter.
Next, both parties discussed how to arrange the marriage.
Du Ming meant that it was not the right time yet and he wanted to wait a few more months.
Li Jieshi cursed: Wait a few more months and the baby will be born!
Du Bayi simply made the decision: get the certificate tomorrow, and after that, let Du Ming borrow a motorcycle to pick up Li Qiaozhi from the Licai Brigade, and that would be the end of the matter.
Of course, wedding candies and cigarettes still need to be distributed, this is called announcing it to the world.
After the discussion, Du Bayi found a few gifts from home and insisted that Li Jieshi take them away when he left.
We have finished talking about this.
It's only about 9 o'clock in the morning.
Du Bayi was going to prepare some dishes and then have something to eat and drink at home.
How could Li Jieshi have the mood to eat or drink?
His daughter's matter is now his main concern.
He said, "What to eat? We still have time. Let's hurry up and go through the marriage formalities! Once we have completed the formalities, I will feel relieved!"
Du Bayi said: "My dear relatives, to go through the marriage procedures, you need a letter of introduction and household registration and other documents."
Li Jieshi said sullenly, "I brought them all with me! I just want to get everything done."
Du Bayi looked at his son.
Du Ming also knew that he could not hide or escape.
"That's fine, let's get married as soon as possible, and everything will be fine after that." Du Ming said. So, Du Bayi and his father followed Li Jieshi and his daughter out.
To get a marriage certificate, you now have to go to the street office.
Du Ming was originally going to ride his bicycle with Li Qiaozhi, meaning that they would go together to get the marriage certificate.
But Li Jieshi disagreed.
Li Jieshi was worried that Du Ming was playing tricks on his daughter.
So he insisted on going along to bear witness.
Wang Haoran said, why don’t we just drive the tricycle over there together.
Du Bayi soon saw the motorized tricycle driven by Wang Haoran. Many alley residents gathered around the tricycle and were looking at it curiously.
"Brother, is this car from your team? It looks pretty good." Du Bayi squinted his eyes, looked at it for a few seconds, and asked Li Jieshi.
Li Jieshi said: "No, this is what Comrade Haoran borrowed from our commune's machinery factory."
Du Bayi nodded and said, "Your village has produced a great man!"
"Wang Haoran is so famous. Wasn't this motorized tricycle developed by him?"
Li Jieshi smiled.
Du Ming curled his lips.
Du Bayi suddenly glanced at Wang Haoran and said, "After all this time, is this Comrade Wang Haoran? I thought you looked familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize you."
Wang Haoran shook hands with Du Bayi and said, "Uncle Bayi is also a very particular person. It was not easy to resolve this matter smoothly today."
Du Bayi shook his head and said, "I am so ashamed! I didn't understand the whole thing beforehand and made Qiaozhi suffer a lot. I am really sorry."
Next, Wang Haoran drove a motorized tricycle and took a few people to the street office.
When we arrived at the marriage registration office there, the certificate was issued quickly because all the procedures were complete.
After a short while, I got the certificate.
Wang Haoran took a special look at the marriage certificate at this time. It was almost in the style of a certificate, with quotations on one side and a handwritten marriage certificate approving the registration of marriage on the other side.
There are hollowed-out words on it that say "be thrifty and practice family planning".
At this time, family planning had begun to be advocated.
However, there is no compulsion, it all depends on self-awareness.
Wang Haoran thought about it and realized that his birthday was November 11th. On that day, perhaps he could get the marriage certificate with Xiao Lijuan.
After receiving the certificate, Li Qiaozhi was very happy, but Du Ming looked a little sad.
Du Ming felt that he had made a fatal mistake: just because he wanted to take shortcuts and get a recommendation for school, he ended up flirting with a country girl.
Now, there is no hope for school recommendation, but he is forced to marry a village girl with a child.
"Since you've already got the certificate, I think you'd better go back to Licai Brigade tomorrow, give out some candy and cigarettes to the villagers, and then bring Qiaozhi back home!" Li Jieshi said to Du Ming.
Du Ming said with a bitter face: "Uncle Jieshi, I, I don't even have a separate room at home now. You have to let me clean up and make a wedding room, right?"
Li Jieshi said with a serious face: "It's good to have a place to sleep."
"That attic where you sleep, I just need to watch it!"
"After a while, Qiaozhi will be pregnant! If she stays in my house, people will point fingers at her!"
Du Bayi said, "My dear relatives, we will hurry up and prepare a new house for the young couple. Even if we have to live somewhere else, we will not delay the children. Don't worry about this! I will ask Du Ming to go back to Licai Brigade to pick up Qiaozhi tomorrow!"
Li Jieshi said, "Then it's settled."
"We'll be going back now."
Du Bayi smiled and said, "How about having a meal and some drinks?"
Li Jieshi waved his hand: "No, let's hurry up! It's important to get things done quickly!"
