Chapter 14 Household Registration
After making the bed at night, Mo Xiaoman fetched warm water to wash her face and feet for her grandmother, Aunt Han came, holding a stack of clothes in her hand, the fifth uncle and her daughter-in-law also came around to see the excitement, Aunt Han brought Mo Xiaoman two tops and two pants, making up two sets, all of which were old clothes that her youngest daughter Han Jiaying couldn't wear, Han Jiaying went to school in the city, and the health school she studied in said that it was old clothes, but in fact, there was no hole at all, but it was just a small and short time, Han Jiaying couldn't wear it, so Aunt Han put it away, and each one was washed clean and white, because it had just been turned out from the bottom of the box, with a scent of camphor wood, for Mo Xiaoman, who could only wear torn clothes from childhood to adulthood, these old clothes given by Aunt Han can be used as new clothes.

The fifth uncle and grandmother and her daughter-in-law unfolded the clothes one by one, and admired them, a set of military uniforms with a narrow waist and moderate and straight trousers, a long-sleeved shirt with purple and purple flowers, and a pair of blue labor cloth pants, the clothes and pants were originally a little long, Aunt Han had her own sewing machine, cut off a little cuffs and trousers, and Mo Xiaoman could wear them immediately.
Mo Ah Grandma thanked Aunt Han again and again, Mo Xiaoman was also very grateful, remembering Aunt Han's kindness in her heart, the fifth uncle and her daughter-in-law even said a basket of good things to Aunt Han, praising her for being kind and benevolent, which made Aunt Han very embarrassed, but Aunt Han had a straightforward temperament and a powerful mouth, and diverted the topic elsewhere in a few words.
The fifth uncle and grandmother urged Mo Xiaoman to take a bath in the well water, tried on the two sets of clothes to show everyone, and all of them praised their good looks, and the fifth uncle patted Mo Xiaoman's shoulder and said: "The horse relies on the golden saddle, the person relies on the clothes, we Xiaoman used to eat and dress badly, and he was inconspicuous like a little beggar, but in the future, it will be different! Look, this little face and small body are long, and they are more iconic than the actors in the movie!"
Grandma Mo smiled from ear to ear: "That's natural, my Xiaoman will not be short of beautiful new clothes to wear in the future!"
Mo Ah Gong nodded again and again: "Yes, there will be! Not to mention more, during the New Year's holidays, I will make new clothes for her, let her choose by herself, and do whatever she wants!"
Mo Xiaoman pursed her mouth, looking at everyone with a smile in her eyebrows, she was not shy, nor did she not want to speak, she was too moved at this time, for fear that she would cry when she opened her mouth!
This kind of happiness may have been won by her in her previous life, but she didn't have the wisdom and courage at that time!
There was no burden in his heart, Mo Xiaoman and Grandma lay on a double bed together, sleeping comfortably and peacefully, and didn't have half a dream all night.
The next day, Mo Ah Gong went out with Mo Zhishu and Captain Guan early in the morning, and came back with Mo Zhishu two hours later, and told Mo Ah Grandma and Mo Xiaoman with a smile:
"The formalities are all complete, take stock of the yard and the things in the house, sign and save the bottom, the captain said, let us live first, everything is used, even if the team takes it back in the future, it is just a few dozen yuan of depreciation fees! Today is the market day, hurry up, let's go to the commune, get the household registration done, and buy some things for use, and we can live in our own house tonight!"
From the village to the commune, it takes 40 minutes to ride a bicycle, and it takes more than an hour to walk, Mo Ah Gong does not know how to ride, and originally planned to leave Mo Ah Grandma at the branch secretary's house temporarily, and take Mo Xiaoman to the commune on foot, but Mo Xiaoman proposed:
"Grandpa, go to apply for a household registration today, and we will be a family of three in the future, why don't you bring grandma with you, and let's go to the commune photo studio to take a family photo, okay?"
When Mo Ah Gong heard this, he felt very fresh, nodded and said, "Okay! I'm optimistic! I'm afraid that your grandma is unwilling?"
Mo Ah Grandma replied with a smile: "If you don't dislike my old woman for being blind, then I'll go!"
Mo Ah Gong and Mo Xiaoman said in unison: "Don't dislike it!
Mo Zhishu and his wife were also very happy to watch from the side, Mo Zhishu said: "Then let's go together, put our ox cart on it, lay a layer of dry straw, and the second sister-in-law is sitting just right!"
So, on the second day of Mo Xiaoman's rebirth, he had a new experience: he took a slow ox cart to the commune more than 30 kilometers away to catch the market.
It is an old cow that pulls the cart, the frame is quite big but it is rough and usually used to pull straw and firewood or something, the highway is still inter-provincial, perhaps because this section is all rural, so it has not been taken seriously, it has not been paved with asphalt asphalt, all the way is full of blue and white gravel, Xiao Man saw someone riding a bicycle on the road, and accidentally the wheel fell down into the gravel pile!
Fortunately, the steam wheel of the ox cart carrying the frame has just been inflated, and the ox cart is padded with a thick layer of dry straw, and it does not feel too bumpy to sit, but it is certainly not as comfortable as riding a car......
Seeing that Mo Ah Gong and Mo Ah Grandma were still intoxicated in the dust, Mo Xiaoman definitely didn't dare to say anything to complain, she didn't have a chance to enjoy such treatment in her previous life!
In case Mo Xiaoman was thirsty and wanted to drink water on the road, Ah Gong specially used the bamboo tube he often brought into the mountains to pour a tube of cold boiled water in the branch secretary's house, Mo Xiaoman took advantage of Ah Gong's unpreparedness to add some spiritual spring to the bamboo tube, and let Ah Gong and Grandma drink two sips when he drank it, Ah Gong insisted on not drinking, and wanted to save water for their grandparents and grandchildren to drink.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally walked to the commune.
Ah Gong stopped the old cow at the street market, unloaded the ox cart, and led the old cow to a meadow the size of a football field under the highway ridge, this grass seems to be specially prepared for the people who come to the village to catch the market to temporarily tie the cattle and horses, because Mo Xiaoman saw that there were still a number of wooden stakes standing on the side, Ah Gong tied the old cow's ox rope to the pile, and it was grazing around the pile, he walked up by himself, and Xiao Man supported Mo Ah Grandma together, and went to the police station to apply for a household registration first.
Mo Xiaoman walked a few steps and looked back at the dozen or so cattle and horses tied to the grassland, no one guarded them, but the owners all left with confidence, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: This is good in the seventies, there is absolutely no problem with public security, the cattle and horses are just left casually, and there are no thieves at all!
In another five or six years, it will not work, and even ten years later, there will be cattle thieves in the countryside, and people will break into their own houses and take them all away unceremoniously! There are thieves everywhere in the bazaar, and if you are not careful, your bag will be cut by a blade, money and goods will fly away, and bicycles will not be paid for safekeeping, even if you put on three locks, it is useless!
When I arrived at the police station, there was no one to do anything, in the office with posters on both walls, there was a young public security officer wearing a big cap sitting behind the desk, and later generations, people in this era called the police collectively called the public security, and the clothing of the public security was also very special, blue pants, pure white tops, even the big caps were white, embellished with bright red hats and collar badges, which looked very kind.
There was no need to spend time queuing, Ah Gong asked Mo Xiaoman and Mo Ah Grandma to wait at the door, he took out the team certificate from his pocket and walked in to do the work, and the formalities were completed in a short time.
Mo Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Ah Gong didn't have anything in his hand, and asked Ah Gong: "Is this done? Won't the people at the police station give you a notebook or something?"
"What kind of book, what do you want to do with the book?"
Mo Xiaoman didn't know how to explain for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's the household registration book, there is a book to hold, and I know that the three of us have a household registration in one place!"
"Oh, that's what you mean, little girl, I don't understand anything!" Ah Gong smiled: "Our entire brigade is put in a household register, one of the pages is a family, our family of three is registered on a page, I can see it clearly, rest assured!"
Mo Xiaoman was speechless: It turns out that at this time, there is no such household registration book held by each family, but the household registration book shared by the entire brigade!
But no matter what, it's so that it is put together with the household registration of grandpa and grandma, and it is no longer controlled and influenced by Mo Guoqiang and Liu Fengying!
The three of them were very happy, and the photo studio was diagonally opposite the police station, so they helped each other and went to the photo studio to take two more photos.
A family photo, a single portrait of Grandma specially asked Mo Xiaoman to take a photo, and also told the photographer to remember to indicate the date of shooting, and write the words "eleven-year-old commemoration".
Mo Xiaoman was embarrassed for a moment, but did not refuse.
Grandma smiled and said: "In the future, take a photo in a year, and we Xiaoman will look back when he is twenty or thirty years old, which is interesting!"
Ah Gong also nodded: "Yes, yes!
Mo Xiaoman said: "It costs money!"
She pursed her mouth tightly, as if she cherished words like gold, but in fact she wanted to cry again: the people she really loves are different, grandpa and grandma don't feel sorry for money, just let her take pictures, it is to commemorate her beautiful childhood, Liu Fengying took her to take a photo in her previous life, but she was full of malice and calculation!
