Chapter 12 - Going To Town To Get The Marriage Certificate

Awoo!

Qiao zhiqing was moved and immediately rushed over to hug the man's neck, giving him a quick kiss before firmly promising, "Qin Huai, I promise you'll live a good life with me from now on!"

Qin Huai's body stiffened.

Seeing that Qiao zhiqing was touching him again, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he slowly lowered his raised hands instead of pushing her away.

However, upon hearing her words, he retorted, "I should be saying that, Qiao zhiqing. I will make sure you live a good life with me!"

"I trust you!"

The idea that men should earn money to support their families is a tradition that has been passed down from ancient times.

Since Qin Huai has this awareness, Qiao zhiqing naturally won't take it away from him.

But the soul of her body comes from the 21st century. What is the most prominent characteristic of women in the 21st century? It is economic independence.

So, she needs to make money too!

Let's work hard together with Qin Huai!

Let's work together for their little family!

After finishing his meal, Qin Huai picked up his bowl and once again took on the task of washing the dishes.

Qiao Qiqi watched with satisfaction, seeing that Qin Huai had a sense of family responsibility, was not overly chauvinistic, and did not think that housework should be done by women. She nodded happily.

Her man is really great!

One of the things Qiao zhiqing dislikes most in the 21st century is washing dishes, so she specially installed a dishwasher in her home.

She believed that all girls, like her, would absolutely not like washing dishes, a greasy job.

However, although Qiao zhiqing doesn't like washing dishes, she loves researching food and has inherited her mother's talent for cooking. Almost anything in her hands taste exceptionally delicious.

Qiao zhiqing was initially worried about the lack of a dishwasher, but seeing how considerate Qin Huai was, she immediately stopped worrying.

At this moment, Qiao zhiqing had nothing to do, so she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and thought about how to make money next.

After discovering that she had transmigrated in the morning, she had already tried to figure it out, but she didn't have any cheat codes like having a spatial ability.

She also recalled all the contents of the book, and the original owner of the body did not have any cheat abilities.

Even if other people transmigrate without any special abilities, they'll at least have a skill, like embroidery, medicine, or martial arts. But she doesn't know any of those.

The only thing she knows how to do is cook, but Qiao zhiqing doesn't want to be a chef.

Cooking is a hobby and interest for her,if you were to turn it into a job, she would immediately refuse.

After thinking for a long time, Qiao zhiqing finally came up with an idea.

She's knowledgeable!

She's a soon-to-be graduate student in the 21st century. In this era where knowledge is power and money, why would she worry about not making money?

Thinking of this, Qiao zhiqing immediately decided to observe carefully when she went to town to get the marriage certificate in the afternoon.

After Qin Huai finished washing the dishes, he went into the house and saw Qiao zhiqing still in a daze. He paused for a moment and said to her, "I'm going to find your.. Dad to ask for a leave, and we'll go to town when I get back."

"Okay, go ahead!"

The place where their village is located is called Qingyang Brigade, also known as Qingyang Township. Above the township is the town, which is the place Qiao zhiqing and Qin Huai are going to in a while, called Ningyuan Town. Above the town is the county, and then the city.

The furthest place villagers could freely travel to was the town. If they wanted to go outside the county, they needed a letter of introduction from the commune.

The Qingyang brigade was further divided into seven teams, which were seven villages, called Team 1, Team 2, Team 3...Team 7.

Qiao zhiqing lived in Team One. Because of its geographical location, other villages had to pass through Team One to get to the town, so their brigade's people's commune was built at the foot of Team One.

The people's commune had cadres such as the party branch secretary, brigade leader, economic brigade leader, militia battalion commander, accountant, women's director, and work recorder.

Because the villages are quite far apart, it would be impossible for the brigade leader to manage everything alone, so each village selected a village group leader to manage the production and labor situation their respective villages.If there's something the village group leader can't handle, then they go to the brigade leader.

So now Qin Huai is taking the afternoon off to find Qiao zhiqing's father, Qiao Weiguo.

He left quickly and returned quickly, soon arriving back in a donkey cart.

Qiao zhiqing looked surprised when she saw the donkey cart. "Why did you bring back a donkey cart?"

Qin Huai explained, "It belongs to Zhang Qing's family. I took leave and happened to pass by his house. I asked his mother, and she said that the donkey was resting at home today, so I borrowed it."

In those days, there were buses from the village to the town, but they would depart from the village to the town in the morning and return from the town to the village in the afternoon.

At this time, there are definitely no buses going to town.

Qiao zhiqing also needed to go to town to buy things. With the donkey cart, it was only convenient to buy things, but also much more convenient as she didn't have to drive.

"After we get the marriage certificate, we'll stop by the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two pounds of wedding candy. Take some with you when you return the car to thank them."

Qiao zhiqing had already decided that the wedding could be postponed for the time being, but the wedding candies still needed to be bought.

That way, when handing out wedding candies, she can legitimately announce that she and Qin Huai have registered their marriage.

Qin Huai was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at her.

She wanted to say that she had promised Zhang Qing's mother that she would go up the mountain to cut grass and feed the donkey when she returned, but when she heard Qiao zhiqing buying wedding candy, her eyes flickered, but she didn't refuse.

Qiao zhiqing had already packed her documents, money, and tickets when she returned from Qin Huai. She grabbed the cloth bag and jumped onto the donkey cart.

Qin Huai was afraid she would fall, so he reached out and supported her arm.

Qiao zhiqing sensed the man's thoughtfulness and glanced at him sideways.

She met the man's awkward gaze and curled her lips into a smile.

This man is quite caring.

Qiao zhiqing smiled gently, feeling happy. If she weren't in such a hurry to get their marriage certificate, she would have definitely teased this man a bit. But for now, she just obediently sat still on the donkey cart.

The two locked the door and happily drove the donkey cart towards the town.

Just outside the village, I encountered an older woman wearing a scarf, hurrying towards the town.

Seeing the two sitting on the donkey cart, she asked with delight, "Young Master Qin, are you going to town? I need to go to town to buy some things, could you give me a ride?"

Since they all lived in the same village and they did indeed want to move to the town, Qin Huai readily agreed.

Qiao zhiqing and Qin Huai were sitting o either side of the front of the donkey car..

Although Aunt Wu was over 50 years old and didn't need to avoid suspicion, she still subconsciously sat at the end of the female comrade's seat, and then belatedly realized that Qiao zhiqing was sitting next to her, and was immediately stunned.

"Qiao family girl, are you going to town too?"

Aunt Wu was clearly a very outgoing person; after recognizing Qiao zhiqing, she immediately started chatting with her warmly.

"Why didn't you go see your sweetheart today? I saw him in the fields this morning with some other educated youth, and also with a new female educated youth..."

At this point, Aunt Wu suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong.

Seeing that Qiao zhiqing had already frowned, she quickly changed her tune:

"Look at my mouth, but don't take it personally. I'm doing this for your own good.

I saw your mother in the village the other day, and she was still worried about you you ask me, what's so great about that Huo Chen? He's a weak scholar, can't lift a finger, just a pretty face. With your looks, you could find anyone you want!"

Sitting close by, Aunt Wu stared at Qiao zhiqing's fair and tender face, and even she, a middle-aged woman, felt envious.

The old lady loved pretty young girls the most, and fearing that this girl would stubbornly jump into the fire pit, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"As the old saying goes, 'Those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences. Qiao girl, you must listen to your mother. You are her own flesh and blood. Would she harm you? If you really get together with that educated youth, then you'll regret it!"
