"Comrade Fang Xiaoya, are you ready? Once you enter this door, your identity will change when you come out."
"Comrade Li Heng, you don't have to worry about me here. I should be the one to ask you this. Are you really ready? Are you ready to let me depend on you for the rest of your life?"
May 19, 1956, the tenth day of the fourth lunar month, a Saturday, suitable for marriage
Li Heng originally wanted to put the date for collecting the certificate on May 20, but unfortunately it was the weekend and the street office was not open, so he had to put it on today.
The two of them took a special day off today and were already standing at the gate of the street office.
Looking at the little girl with a tight face, the word nervous was almost written on her face. Li Heng smiled slightly. He was getting married for the first time in his life. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
As he said just now, once you enter this door and come out, your identity will change.
Not only did Fang Xiaoya's identity change, but so did Li Heng.
From now on, he will be a husband and a father in the future. He doesn't know if he is ready, but he believes that he will do his best to do his best.
"Then dear Comrade Fang Xiaoya, let's go in." He smiled and extended a hand to the woman who was about to become his wife.
The slightly trembling little hand stretched out firmly to hold the big hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked towards the gate of the street office.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I can forget everything, even eating, and Yuzhu can make sure of that too."
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this?" After Li Heng put the notebook back into his bag, he raised his head and was about to say let's go, when he found that his newlywed wife was looking at him intently.
It had been a month since the two met again, and this was the first time she had seen such a fun side of this guy.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be so careful." A happy smile filled the little girl's face.
It was already nine o'clock, and the two of them did not dare to waste time. After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they went straight home.
But he knew that his little wife had a tender face, so he didn't dare to do it again.
Seeing the cautious movements of the man who had become her husband, Fang Xiaoya's eyes couldn't help but flash twice.
The original plan was to find some pillars to cook a few dishes, and then set up two or three tables in the yard to invite the neighbors to join in the fun.
Ever since she got the marriage certificate just now, the little girl noticed that he kept looking at it again and again, and he was still looking at it even after she came out.
Only then did she realize that she really didn't understand her man, and it turned out that he had such a delicate side.
Half an hour later, when the two people walked out again, Li Heng looked at the paper in his hand in a daze.
"Don't even say it when you get home. It's so embarrassing. How could you be like this?"
"Ah? Oh, I think just such a simple piece of paper will tie us together for the rest of our lives?"
The biggest use of this thing now may be that when two people go out to stay in a hotel, with this piece of paper, they can stay in the same room.
"Okay, if you don't say anything, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"It's okay. Didn't I tell Meng Jun yesterday? He must have prepared everything for us. Just go over and give him the ticket and money later." Li Heng said as he carefully took out the marriage certificate.
Fold it, then take out a hard-cover notebook from the backpack you carry and clip it.
According to regulations, when you get married, you can buy two pounds of candy with a ticket issued by the street office. However, this ticket is time-limited. If you buy it within three months, it will be invalid after the expiration date.
I'm actually not in a hurry to distribute the candy to the families in the courtyard at this time. There are a few families with no one at the moment. I'll go there during dinner time in the afternoon. Everyone happens to be at home, so I can finish it in one go.
"Okay, okay, don't talk outside. We'll talk about it when we get home."
"Okay, Brother Erheng, please walk slowly."
"I think we should get a hard cover anyway. It's hard to save just this piece of paper, and there should be photos of two people on it. Otherwise, how would you know who this is, right?
"Here Junzi, here are the candy coupons issued by the office, two jins, and here are the coupons for the other three jins, and here are the money."
Also, there should be a steel seal on it, but if I stamp it with this red seal, I can’t even see what’s written on it, so what should I do if it rubs off?”
"You hate it. What are you talking about on the street?"
Oh, how could you not say it? What does this mean? The more embarrassing person is behind you. Li Heng muttered secretly in his heart.
For this reason, he had to do some ideological work for Fang's parents for a long time before he could make sense.
"What if?"
"Come on, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy candies. We'll also be giving candies to the neighbors later."
"It just happened. By the way, I almost forgot. Congratulations to brother Erheng and sister-in-law Xiaoya on their wedding!"
But since what happened that day, Li Heng suddenly felt that it was not interesting. He might as well just put it in the restaurant, set up two tables, and just invite a few people who were close to him.
"Okay, then you go about your business first, we'll go there first."
"Thank you, Junzi. Don't forget to eat. You must come over at noon. There is also Yuzhu, which is at the restaurant next to the office."
I haven't heard of anyone not wanting it.
Five kilograms of fruit candies were already prepared by Meng Jun when they arrived.
What a simple marriage certificate. No, it should be said that this is just a marriage certificate. It doesn’t even have a photo, just the two people’s names, date of birth, and registration date.
I believe that she won't be so thin-skinned soon after her marriage. Those elder sisters and aunts can come out of their mouths to talk about everything.
…
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Listening to Li Heng standing there mumbling, Fang Xiaoya couldn't help laughing.
He has another meaning in doing this, that is, taking advantage of nothing happening in the past two years, I just want to be more high-profile and angry with those talkative women. Alas, you see, the living conditions of our family are so good.
Asking if you are angry.
"Birth certificate?" The little girl was a little confused when she heard it. She didn't know what it meant for a moment. She only understood the meaning of the word after repeating it again, and her fair little face suddenly turned red.
"You have to be careful about this. This is our birth certificate. If you don't keep this thing properly, you won't be able to explain it later."
In this courtyard, Li Heng only invited two families from their front yard, to be precise, the third uncle and the third aunt, as well as brother Liu and sister-in-law Liu. The middle yard was made up of pillars, and the backyard was made up of Xu Damao.
However, these people from the steel factory couldn't make it through noon, and Xu Damao had already gone to the countryside.
But when they come back from get off work in the evening, Fang Xiaoya will also bring them a bowl of meat and vegetables.
As for the third uncle, no matter whether this person likes to take advantage of others or not, he just speaks for himself at the top of his lungs that day. Li Heng owes him a favor, which he must remember and even more repay.
