Old Man Wang was about to go down to the ground with a hoe, and he happened to meet the three of them at the door, "Dad." The rookie was the first to greet the old man.

The old man coughed, "Damn, is your family's land finished?" ”

The rookie was nervous, and she forced her composure, "No, Dad, I came to you for something." ”

The old man held the hoe in his hand, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to go to a relative today, and let Erxiao and his brother have a meal at your side at noon, okay?"

Before Old Man Wang could answer, Er Xiao objected first, "Mother, we said okay yesterday, you take me along." ”

The old man twisted his eyebrows, "The land is not finished yet, do you still have the heart to leave your relatives?" Can't the croppers tell which one is heavier and which is lighter? ”

The father-in-law's attitude strengthened the rookie's determination to leave, and she accompanied her smiling face, "I'll go in the morning, and I'll be back after lunch." ”

"What kind of relatives are you going to go without a year? What's going on with your mother's family? ”

The rookie casually agreed, "It's something." ”

Old Man Wang stared at the triangular eyes suspiciously, "I haven't heard anything about your family, besides, why can't you take the second child with you when you go back to your parents' house." ”

The rookie choked, and she stubbornly said, "I want to go and come back quickly." ”

The second little one was afraid that the rookie would leave him, so he raised his little face and hugged the rookie's leg and didn't let go, "Mother, I want to go to my grandmother's house with you." ”

The rookie didn't dare to force it anymore, so he had to say: "Dad, can you come to eat at noon?" ”

"Okay, you can talk to your mother." After the old man finished speaking, he carried the hoe and left.

The rookie watched the old man Wang walk away, and then led the two children into the yard, Mrs. Wang had already heard the conversation between the two clearly, and when she saw the rookie coming in, the nose was not the nose, and the eyes were not the eyes, "I said the rookie, why isn't your mother's family doing this and that all day long?" ”

The old lady said this, and the rookie felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard this, "Mother, I can only go back to my mother's house a few times a year, why is my mother's house not this and that all day long?" ”

Old lady: "You still said it's okay, it's okay, what are you going back to your mother's house today?" ”

The rookie was scared back, if it weren't for the important things to do today, she really wanted to reason with the old lady, "Mother, you can say whatever you want, you just say that you can come over for dinner at noon today, do you agree or not." ”

Mrs. Wang squinted at the rookie, "That's my own grandson, can I still say I don't agree to come to have a meal?" ”

The rookie took his son's little hand, "That's okay, mother, I'll go first." ”

Mrs. Wang said without annoyance: "Let's go, let's go, you just want to come back early." ”

The rookie pursed his lips, didn't say much, and led the two children back to his house.

The plan has not changed quickly, and now the plan has changed, and the second child can't stay for the time being, the rookie put the child at home and told the two little brothers and sisters, "Second child, Nier, my mother will go out to do something, you two will wait for me at home for a while, but don't go out and run around, otherwise I won't see you two when my mother comes back, and I won't take you to my grandmother's house." ”

The second child was afraid that the rookie would not take him, so he obediently agreed, "Mother, I don't run around, and my sister doesn't run around." ”

"Good boy." The rookie touched Erxiao's head, got up and walked to the village committee.

Under normal circumstances, the village chief would go to the village committee every morning to make sure that there was nothing to do, and then he would go home and carry a hoe to serve his family's contracted land.

The rookie was afraid that she would not be able to find the village chief, so she trotted all the way to the village committee and panted slightly, "Village chief." The rookie swallowed and said, "I have something to do with you." ”

Village Chief: "What's the matter?" ”

Rookie: "Please give me a certificate of opening." ”

Village Chief: "What proof?" ”

The rookie hesitated for a moment and said shyly, "Well, marriage certificate." ”

Village Chief: "Marriage certificate?" Whose? ”

The rookie went out and said directly, "Mine." ”

The village chief looked up and down at the rookie, and the little daughter-in-law had been guarding it for several years, and she was finally leaving, "Okay." He smiled, took the paper out of the drawer, and asked, "Where is the man?" ”

The rookie remembered that Cheng Liyun told her about Ruimin's situation, she thought about it for a while, and briefly told the village chief about Ruimin's situation, "People work in other places, but our hometown is here." ”

"Oh, how old are you?"

"Thirty-one."

"Not bad." The village chief nodded, and handed the written certificate to the rookie, "I'm the same age as you." ”

"Hmm." The rookie read the certificate again, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Village chief, I have to trouble you to stamp the official seal of our brigade." ”

"Then you give it to me, and I'll cover it for you." The village chief untied a bunch of keys from the waistband of his trousers, opened the drawer, took out the official seal and sighed on it, rummaged through the table again, and took out a dirty box of red seal oil from under a pile of newspapers, and slid it on the certificate.

"Cover it, take it." The village chief handed the certificate back to the rookie.

"Thank you, village chief." The rookie took the certificate with both grateful hands, blew it on the red seal several times to confirm that the ink was dry, and then carefully folded the certificate and put it in his personal pocket.

The morning was limited, and the rookie didn't dare to stay, so she said, "Village chief, then I'll go first." ”

The village chief smiled and said, "Let's go, don't forget to tell me when you have a happy event, I'll go ask for a cup of happy wine." ”

The rookie shook his head slightly, "Second marriage, I'm not going to do it, just apply for a marriage certificate and move over directly." ”

The village chief sent the rookie out, "Eh~ The second marriage is also a happy event, how can you not do it." ”

The rookie didn't explain again, and after saying goodbye to the village chief, she hurriedly ran back home, and now it was nearly nine o'clock, and she still had to go to L Village, and she had to catch the train at eleven o'clock, so she couldn't delay it.

The rookie took the proof, didn't dare to pause when he got home, put his luggage on his back, hugged Nier, and rushed to L Zhuang with the second child.

After the village chief sent the rookie away, he turned around and entered the accountant's office, he sat on the chair opposite the accountant, stepped on the back of the chair with one foot, took out a cigarette and handed it to the accountant, and said with a gossipy smile: "Lao Li, guess what Yang Xinxiu came to me for just now." ”

"What for?" Accountant Li took the village chief's cigarette, and hurriedly struck a match to light the cigarette in the corner of the village chief's mouth before lighting his own.

The village chief took a deep breath, then spit out a long eye circle, "Find me to issue a marriage certificate." ”

Accountant Li had a cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke from it just smoked his eyes, and he half-squinted his left eye and asked, "Yo, this is a good look, does her mother-in-law know?" ”

Village Chief: "Who knows if her mother-in-law knows or not, she came to me to issue a certificate, I can't help but give her a certificate." ”

Accountant Li: "Also, the widow wants to remarry, but the in-laws can't agree to it." ”

The village chief and the accountant talked again, and the village chief pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and got up and said, "I'll leave home first if there's nothing to do, the grass in the field is not finished yet, I have to go to work in the field." ”

The accountant stood up and looked at him, "You go first, I still have a little bit of money to finish." ”

The village chief returned home with his hands behind his back, Shang Mei was washing clothes at home, and when she saw the man coming back, she first asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" If you don't go down to the ground, it's time for lunch. ”

"Something happened today." The village chief squatted next to his daughter-in-law's laundry basin and said, "Yang Xinxiu went to look for me today." ”

Shang Mei asked the man vigilantly, "What is the little widow looking for you for?" ”

"Look at your expression!" The village chief nodded his daughter-in-law's nose, "I didn't think about it in my head when I saw you." ”

"Hee-hee." Shang Mei rubbed it on the washboard several times to cover it up: "I didn't think about anything, I thought too much." ”

"Let me tell you, what can I think of her like that, even if I have ideas, it's all on you."

Shang Mei glanced at the village chief with disgust, "Tell me, what the little widow is looking for you for, I don't have the heart to guess." ”

The village chief took two steps to his daughter-in-law, "Yang Xinxiu asked me to issue a marriage certificate." ”

"What!" This is big news, Shang Mei's clothes are no longer washed, "Tell me, what kind of man is she looking for?" ”

"I knew that the man's hometown was ours, he was working in a foreign country, and he was Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today."

"Yo, the conditions are not bad." Shang Mei was a little jealous, "I didn't expect her to be able to find someone to eat official meals like that, you said that her old woman's family really didn't know that she was looking for it again?" ”

"I don't want to ask." After speaking, the village chief went to the back of the door and picked up the hoe, "I'm going to the ground." ”

Shang Mei couldn't hide something in her stomach, and when she heard this big news, she hurriedly washed her clothes, took a pair of soles and went out of the house, before it was time for lunch, the news was like wings, one spread five, five spread ten, and half of the village knew about it.

When the village chief passed by the land of Old Man Wang's house with a hoe, Old Man Wang was full of energy, and he asked loudly: "Uncle, when is the rookie day set?" When you need my help, you just keep talking. ”

The old man didn't hear what the village chief said, he opened his right hand and attached it to his ear, "What did you say?" What happened to the rookie? ”

The village chief put down the hoe and talked to the old man on the side of the road, "The rookie just asked me for a marriage certificate, don't you know, has the rookie already found a good family?" ”

Old Man Wang suddenly felt bad, he didn't hesitate, and walked out in a hurry, "What did you just say, what proof did the rookie prove?" ”

Seeing the old man like this, he knew that he was still in the dark, "Your rookie just asked me for a marriage certificate, what's the matter, you don't know about this?" ”

"No wonder, she's going back to her parents' house today, no, I have to go back and have a look." After the old man finished speaking, he didn't bother to greet the village chief at all, so he picked up the hoe and ran home.

Seeing that it was more than nine o'clock, the rookie had not yet arrived, Ruimin was anxious, he couldn't hold his breath and waited at home, he stood at the entrance of the village early to look in the direction of the rookie, he always thought that the two families had said that the rookie only brought one child over, and when he saw the rookie with two children from afar, his face sank immediately.

The rookie rushed all the way over, and when he saw Ruimin's face, he knew that he was unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "Let's go first, and I'll tell you when I get back, otherwise we won't be able to leave when his grandparents chase after him." ”
