A few days later, Lianli informed everyone that three days later, Lianli would hold a wedding for Cheng Hao and Bai Xiaomei.
This speed is really fast enough.
Lin Yutong pulled Bai Xiaomei and asked, "Why is it so sudden?"
Bai Xiaomei murmured for a long time before saying: "He is such a shameless person..."
Understood! Cheng Hao was embarrassed to say it in front of others, and he probably got a lot of trouble behind his back.
"So how are your yard preparations going?" Lin Yutong asked, "How can I help?"
"Put the bedrolls together and let's live together. What else do you need to prepare?" Bai Xiaomei smiled shyly and said softly.
Lin Yutong had to sigh that it was easy to marry a wife at this time. It cost basically nothing. Spend a few dollars, buy some melon seeds and peanuts, and swear an oath under the witness of the marriage witness. It is not like decades later, for
A marriage house is struggling. This situation will probably change in a few years after the reform and opening up. But now, it is really simple to the extreme.
Lin Yutong gave Bai Xiaomei a pair of pillowcases. The red words "Double Happiness" were written on them, which was very festive. This was definitely a generous gift. It cost more than one yuan. Someone also gave Bai Xiaomei a pair of socks and gloves worth 20 cents. Lian Li was very generous and even gave a gift with the word "happy" written on it.
mirror frame.
The night before the wedding, Cheng Hao took a bottle of wine and asked the fourth master to drink.
Lin Yutong got a plate of fried peanuts and cold cabbage hearts and asked them to drink.
Cheng Hao's voice was vaguely heard outside, "...If you miss college once, there will be no second time. If you want to choose again, you don't have to think about it...No chance! I understand this, Bai Xiaomei
I also understand this truth. I used to think about struggling, but now I have to be prepared to take root. After getting married, having a family, having children, and working hard for the family, I am no longer an educated young man."
Lin Yutong leaned in front of the stove and didn't listen carefully to what was said. There was also some helplessness in this happy event.
The house assigned to Bai Xiaomei's family is not as good as the one here in Lin Yutong's house. It has a fenced courtyard wall and one room. The kitchen room and the back room are simply separated by a row of birch twigs.
The kang in the house is not small, and there is a black and white plaid sheet spread on it. It is brand new. This is probably the only thing the two of them bought for their new home.
Entering October, Fourth Master suddenly received a letter from the northwest. But the address was not from the labor camp.
After reading the letter, I realized that it was sent by Lao Zeng on behalf of his son. The letter said that a working group had been sent to the labor camp and told him not to go there for the time being. It even mentioned it in a vague way, saying that this might be possible.
It's a good thing. It's just that the process may be a bit long.
The Fourth Master took the letter and read it for a long time, "Then I won't go this year."
Lin Yutong nodded, "Go back and send some food to eldest sister. It's the Chinese New Year, so we can't go and she can't come back."
Fourth Master nodded, "She may not necessarily be celebrating the New Year at school. I heard what Uncle Wang told me last time that these workers, peasants and soldiers students should go to the fields, go to factories and workshops, eat and live with peasant workers, participate in social practice, or hold literacy classes.
.No one has any leisure time. My eldest sister is not the only one who doesn’t go home. Most of them don’t go home. Even if they go to visit, they may not be able to see anyone.”
Lin Yutong nodded, "Then let's celebrate the New Year in the Corps this year."
"Why don't you go back to your house?" Fourth Master counted on his fingers, "After the New Year, you will be seventeen and I will be nineteen. By the time of the New Year next year, we will be just old enough to get married. If we don't go back this year, next year
Time is a bit tight.”
"What do you mean, go back this year and tell your family. Then not next year. After the first day of the new year, we will get married." Lin Yutong asked.
Do families need to apply for a marriage certificate during the Chinese New Year?
"There are not many people getting married during the Chinese New Year." Fourth Master waved his hand, "Don't worry about what other people do. Just say it's okay, right?"
What's wrong? We are an old married couple, so we just need to get legal documents.
"Then go back." Lin Yutong responded. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Where should I stay when I go back?"
I definitely can’t go back to Fourth Master’s side. I don’t want to go back at all.
But in my memory, my own home is not that good either. There are several members of the family, crowded into a house of less than 40 square meters. The upper bunk is where the two sisters live with her, and the lower bunk is where the younger brother lives. On the other side is the stove and the dining room.
There is an inner room inside, but it was my parents' place at that time. After my brother got married, the work unit allocated a dormitory to us as dual-employees. The dormitory is also 20 square meters. Xia Tian wrote that he had a nephew. The couple had a child.
, living in 20 square meters. It is also very crowded.
The two of them stared at each other and discovered that there was no place for them to live under the Imperial City.
"Then the Forbidden City and Prince Yong's Mansion will not belong to us, right?" Lin Yutong felt a little melancholy.
The fourth master also scratched his head a little, "If that doesn't work, shall we buy a house?"
Buy a house?
This month and year?
"Then you have to have a place to stay first, right?" Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master. She didn't want to be separated from him. Even if there were people at home, it was fine, but as soon as he left her eyes, she felt flustered and uncomfortable.
The fourth master looked at her with tears in his eyes, "What should I do? I can take you with me wherever I go from now on." In fact, it was not the case that he couldn't find her, and she was also flustered.
"You pack your things first, and I'll think of a way." Fourth Master hugged Lin Yutong. "We have to go back to the capital. You're right, we have to have our own place. Buying a house in the capital costs four hundred yuan.
With the money, I can buy a small yard.”
"We are not short of money." Lin Yutong did the math, not counting the money he spent last year. This year, the salary of the two of them is quite a lot. In one month, the total for the two of them plus subsidies is ninety-two yuan.
A lot. Others will use money to buy some food and drink, but they basically don’t use it. The monthly subsidy is 20 yuan for Yin Changtian and 10 yuan for Yinwei. So, they can save about 50 yuan a month. Just from their salary, they save 56 yuan.
Hundreds.
Even when it comes to buying a house, a person who doesn't know the basics won't doubt it when he hears about the salary.
Buying a house is doable.
While I was making plans, I heard someone shouting outside, asking Fourth Master to go to the company headquarters to answer the phone.
"It just so happens that this is not a way to deliver it to your door..." He said, patting Lin Yutong's shoulder, "Just wait, I'll be back soon."
Lin Yutong was stunned for a long time, thinking about what he needed to pack. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of what to bring.
Anyway, it’s these things, stuff them lightly into your travel bag. You can change them back when you get somewhere.
The Fourth Master came back very quickly. Lin Yutong asked, "It's Director Liao from the Forestry Bureau."
"Yeah." The Fourth Master smiled, "He was so anxious that he couldn't get enough of the things he had last time. He gave them to the leaders, and the leaders gave them to the leaders. It's the New Year again, level by level.
Go down and ask for it, you're about to reach him. Don't you want to catch him blind?"
"Then what did you say?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Delivery will take place in five days," Fourth Master said. "This time, the items will be exchanged directly for houses."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yutong asked.
"He said that he would try to find a small yard and give us all the formal keys when delivering the goods." Fourth Master said in a low voice, "If it is not handled by him, just the formalities of the house will be a big problem.
Some of these houses are confiscated properties. I'm afraid there will be disputes in the future and I'll ask him to find that kind of stillbirth."
"No one is alive in the family?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Are you taboo about this?" Fourth Master asked.
"We are both old monsters. No matter how old the house is, how can we be as old as the two of us?" Lin Yutong didn't care. "However, aren't these houses handed over when they are taken back? They are almost all employee benefits for the unit.
Where are the vacant houses for those who are allocated houses? Who is not in a hurry nowadays? For the employees of the pharmaceutical factory, in order to be allocated houses, young people do not dare to look for partners outside the factory. I am afraid that if they are not dual-employed, they will not be able to get a house.
Some of them have been married for several years, and they still live with their parents. They take advantage of the fact that no one is in the dormitory to make out for a while, and see who can encounter such a coincidence and seize this good opportunity."
Fourth Master nodded, "That's why we said we can't come forward to do this. Once it's done, we can just live there. When we're not here, just ask your family to take care of you from time to time."
Lin Yutong nodded, no matter what kind of house it is, as long as it has a place to live.
"Are you not going back to the Zhao family?" she asked worriedly.
"I won't go back." Fourth Master shook his head, "But I guess I can run into him. I have to go back to the factory to get some parts or something. Otherwise, the trip will be in vain.
The next day, Fourth Master went to talk to the company commander first. Firstly, he wanted to visit relatives and ask for leave. Secondly, he was on a business trip to see if the company or even the regiment had any parts they wanted, and he would purchase them.
"I don't count holidays for you, I count business trips for you." The company commander made a mistake. These mechanical parts are not easy to get. If this guy dares to ask, he must have a way. "Purchase as much as you can, only if it's too little, not too much."
Many."
The fourth master understood. Now that he was talking nonsense, the company commander was embarrassed to tell the regiment leader. What if it couldn't be done? But once the purchase was actually made, he could then raise the price.
"Sure!" Fourth Master responded, "If we can get in touch by then, I'll call the company. The company will send someone over to take care of it."
After struggling like this for a few days, it was already ten days before I left.
Now that November has entered, many educated youths have returned to the city to visit relatives. Cheng Hao and Bai Xiaomei are a couple.
They are both from Beijing. When they got married, they sent a letter to their families. The reply has not yet arrived, so they both thought it was time to go back and meet their parents.
After finally squeezing to Harbin, I discovered that the train to Beijing was not available until the day after tomorrow.
Xu Jufang's home is in the local area, and she invited several people to stay at her home. In these days, no one's home is spacious.
Lin Yutong declined, "Let's go find relatives to stay. You can go." (. )
