Chapter Ten We Are Legal Couples(1/2)
"Are you really going to get the certificate from me?" The next day, when the two of them walked to the gate of the commune, Fan Lili hesitated for a while, and finally summoned the courage to ask.
"Of course! You must get this certificate. Once we get the certificate, we will be a legitimate and legal couple.
Otherwise, we are living together illegally!" Liu Yan said with a wicked smile on his face.
"You're just talking nonsense. There are so many people living together without a license these days. Are they breaking the law?"
“If you look at it from a legal perspective, they really broke the law.
We are both good citizens who abide by the law and must hold a certificate to work!"
"Then have you ever thought about it, once you get the certificate, you will never have the chance to return to the city!" Fan Lili said worriedly.
"I have thought about it a long time ago! If I can take you with me when I return to the city, then I will choose to return to the city without hesitation.
If you can only choose one of the two when you return to the city, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
I asked myself this question countless times in my heart, and the final answer is: choose you!"
"But……"
"Lili, there's nothing good to do. If the price of returning to the city is to abandon you, I would rather stay by your side for the rest of my life!"
"In this way, you have wronged yourself too much!"
Liu Yan smiled and then asked: "Then do you want me to go back to the city? Or do you want me to stay here to collect the certificate with you?"
"Get the certificate!" Fan Lili said without hesitation.
After she finished speaking, her face turned red.
"That's it! Let's go!"
Fan Lili hurriedly explained: "Actually, sometimes when I see you in pain, I feel very conflicted and want to just let you go!
But every time I think of you leaving me and marrying another woman after returning to the city, my heart feels like a knife!
Am I being selfish? But I really can’t live without you..."
As she spoke, Fan Lili's eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal clear tears flowed down her smooth cheeks.
Liu Yan gently held Fan Lili in his arms, wiped the tears on her face, and then said softly: "Don't cry, you are not selfish, you just love me too much!"
Then, Liu Yan continued: "Five years ago, I came to Yuanping with full of resentment and despair for life.
At that time, the hardship of life, inner loneliness, spiritual emptiness, and confusion about the future defeated me several times.
Many times, I think of committing suicide!
But at that moment, you appeared! It was you who didn’t dislike me for being so miserable, so you chose and married me!
And I am like an ignorant child. Not only can I not help you, I often lose my temper with you, and even want to return to the city!
Now I finally see my heart clearly. Having you is the greatest happiness in my life, Liu Yan. I will love you forever. Thank you, Lili."
Liu Yan's affectionate confession completely broke Fan Lili's guard. She hugged Liu Yan tightly and cried, "I love you too!"
Liu Yan hugged Fan Lili and pressed his fiery lips against hers...
Getting married in this era is really easy, as long as you have a household registration book and a brigade certificate.
The most important thing is that there is no age requirement at the moment. After all, the marriage law will not be available until a few years later.
In principle, as long as both the man and the woman are over 18 years old, it doesn't matter. In rural areas, it doesn't matter even if they are one or two years younger.
The process of applying for a certificate is also simple. The staff first asked about the basic information of the two people.
The main thing is to ask the two people whether they want to become husband and wife voluntarily. After getting a positive answer, they take pictures, pay money, fill out the marriage certificate, and stamp it.
In just ten minutes, the two of them walked out of the commune with their marriage certificates in hand.
Looking at the two colored papers connected together in their hands, Liu Yan and Fan Lili were very excited.
What made Liu Yan excited was that the original owner had been holding off on getting the certificate in order to be able to return to the city smoothly one day.
Now, he finally fulfilled Fan Lili's dream.
What makes Fan Lili excited is that she told Liu Yan at least ten times about the marriage certificate, but he rejected her every time.
At the beginning, he would find some excuses, but later he would not respond at all, and would lose his temper when pushed.
But this time, he took the initiative to get the marriage certificate from her, and he got the marriage certificate so happily, which made Fan Lili feel a little unbelievable.
More importantly, after receiving the certificate, Liu Yan's way back to the city was completely cut off.
It can be seen that he really wants to live a good life with himself.
This makes Fan Lili feel that her efforts over the past few years have finally paid off!
Looking at Fan Lili with a silly smile on her face, Liu Yan couldn't help but call out softly: "Wife!"
Fan Lili's face turned red and she responded with an angry smile: "Hey!"
Fan Lili's shy look immediately made Liu Yan's heart itch, and the feeling of being with Fan Lili in his previous life suddenly arose spontaneously.
Regardless of the people coming in and out of the commune door, he directly held her face and kissed her hard!
Then, he said softly: "Thank you Lily!
In the days to come, I will devote the rest of my life to allowing you to be my favorite for the rest of my life!"
"husband..."
Fan Lili was finally completely moved by Liu Yan's love words, and she burst into tears.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he threw himself into Liu Yan's arms and hugged him tightly.
........
After being gentle for a while, Fan Lili said immediately: "It's getting late, let's go back to the village!"
"No reply!"
"Where can't you go back?"
Liu Yan smiled and said: "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Why are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative?" Fan Lili asked in confusion.
"I'll take you to buy some clothes and pull some cloth." Liu Yan said.
"I have clothes, no need to buy them! Besides, where did you get the money..."
However, before Fan Lili could finish speaking, Liu Yan grabbed her hand and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two people came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Liu Yan pulled Fan Lili in, who was looking anxious.
When the female saleswoman saw the handsome Liu Yan, she immediately came up to him with a smile on her face and asked, "Brother, what are you going to buy?"
"Are there any ready-to-wear clothes?"
"I only have Doliang shirts and floral skirts. If I want to buy other clothes, I have to go to the county seat!"
"As long as you have a floral skirt, find one according to my wife's figure!"
With that said, Liu Yan pulled Fan Lili out from behind.
Only then did the saleswoman notice Fan Lili beside her. When she heard that this girl was actually the handsome man's wife, the saleswoman's face was full of disappointment and she couldn't help but froze.
The saleswoman paused for a moment, then finally went inside and took out a dress with small yellow floral prints.
After seeing this floral dress, Fan Lili's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was filled with visible joy.
After making some gestures on her body, Fan Lili asked cautiously: "Comrade, isn't this skirt cheap?"
The saleswoman immediately said: "It's not cheap, it costs ten yuan a piece, plus a three-foot cloth ticket!"
"It's so expensive, so we don't want it anymore?" Fan Lili was immediately shocked by the price.
A foot of cotton fabric costs only a few cents now. Ten yuan can buy a foot of cloth!
However, Liu Yan said to the saleswoman without hesitation: "That's it! Wrap it up!"
Fan Lili looked at Liu Yan with some surprise, and then said in a slightly pleading tone: "Liu Yan, why don't we give up? How much work does it take to earn back such a piece of clothing?"
Liu Yan smiled and then said: "Okay, how can you not buy a new dress when you get married!"
"But……"
"Stop it!"
After wrapping the dress, Liu Yan looked at the dark blue cotton cloth on the side and asked the salesperson: "How much does that kind of cloth cost per foot?"
"If you have a cloth ticket, it's seven cents per foot; if you don't have a ticket, it's one yuan per foot!"
Liu Yan thought for a while and then said: "Give me four feet, and another three feet of flower cloth!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan started a crazy shopping mode: "Five catties of rice, ten catties of flour, three catties of mustard oil, two catties of pork..."
In the end, Fan Lili didn't know how she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. She felt that her calves were weak and trembling.
In less than half an hour, her man actually spent nearly ninety yuan.
If she hadn't pulled him, he might have spent more than a hundred yuan at a time.
