Chapter 489: Taking Zheng Juan back to Baiya Mountain
It's three o'clock in the afternoon.
Su family.
Su Mingzhe had just brought Zheng Juan to the door of his house. Jiang Cuiping, who came out to greet them, took one look at her future daughter-in-law and secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Jiang Cuiping has been managing the Su family for many years and has raised two sons. She has a sharp eye and easily noticed that Zheng Juan's eyebrows have bloomed, her eyes are rosy, her cheeks are rosy, and her figure is coquettish.
This clearly shows the look of someone who has experienced the world.
Looking at the affectionate eye contact between her eldest son and Zheng Juan, Jiang Cuiping was furious:
"Girl, please sit inside for a while. You little brat, come with me!"
Jiang Cuiping resisted the urge to beat her son violently, and let Zheng Juan enter the house first. Then she grabbed her son's ears and went to the backyard, roaring in a low voice:
"You stinky boy, tell me the truth, have you harmed the girl?"
"Mom, you really have a keen eye."
Su Mingzhe did not expect that his mother had such good eyesight, and he quickly smiled and said:
"Mom, now that things have come to this, let's get married as soon as possible."
In this day and age, a woman's reputation is still very important.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan started living together in advance. If the news spreads, the Zheng family will be criticized.
Therefore, Su Mingzhe is now afraid that his own mother will look down on Zheng Juan and the Zheng family.
"..."
Jiang Cuiping was furious when she saw her eldest son's shameless behavior, but she was also afraid that the matter would get out of hand and her son would be arrested as a hooligan.
She could only reach out and punch her son hard, then said:
"Didn't you say that she was willing to accompany you to Mulan County? Let her go with you to Mulan County first, and you two can get the marriage certificate in Mulan County."
Jiang Cuiping was too cautious and was afraid that her son would become the scapegoat.
Su Mingzhe saw his mother's worry, but did not explain.
Anyway, as long as Jiang Cuiping accepts Zheng Juan, the final result will be good.
Soon, Jiang Cuiping brought her son back to the house. Zheng Juan quickly stood up from the bench and greeted her future mother-in-law respectfully.
"Good boy, come and sit on the kang."
Seeing Zheng Juan getting nervous, Su Mingzhe changed the subject and asked:
"Mom, where's my brother?"
"The school is closed today, so he went back to school to pack his things."
Jiang Cuiping's originally good aura was destroyed by her son's interruption, and she immediately glared at her eldest son in annoyance.
It's true that once you get a wife, you forget your mother.
Zheng Juan found the way her man and his mother got along quite funny.
However, thanks to Su Mingzhe's jokes, Zheng Juan was able to avoid a beating from her mother-in-law.
In this relaxed atmosphere, Jiang Cuiping dug up all the secrets of the Zheng family as if she was checking their household registration.
It was not until after four o'clock when Su Mingxue came back that Zheng Juan realized that the sun had already set.
Su Mingzhe received the woman's eye signal and smiled:
"Mom, it's getting late. Let me take Juanzi home first."
"Okay then, come back early."
Overall, Jiang Cuiping is quite satisfied with Zheng Juan.
"I know."
Su Mingzhe pulled Zheng Juan to the door, and when Jiang Cuiping saw them off, he said with a playful smile:
"Mom, don't cook for me tonight."
"I know. It's so cold, you should come back early."
Jiang Cuiping felt a little reluctant to see the two of them walking in pairs.
The son that I raised with great effort just ran away with another woman.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan returned to Zheng's home and told Zheng's mother about the situation.
When Zheng's mother heard that Jiang Cuiping had no objection to their marriage, she felt relieved.
After dinner, before leaving, Su Mingzhe made an appointment with Zheng Juan that the next day, Monday, they would go to the Youth League Office to sign up to go to Mulan County.
The next day, Monday.
Su Mingzhe took Zheng Juan to the Jichun City Youth League Office to register.
Recently, the Youth League Office and the Street Office have been worried about mobilizing the youth leagues to go to the countryside to work in the fields.
The above mobilization order requires that only one child in each household can stay at home, and the other children must either go to the military corps, the frontier, or go to the countryside.
The mobilization situation in Jichun City is obviously not satisfactory.
When the staff heard that Zheng Juan came to sign up voluntarily, they were immediately overjoyed.
Su Mingzhe told the other party that he wanted Zheng Juan to go to Mulan County, which was neither far nor near and was not considered special treatment.
The people from the Youth League Office naturally would not make things difficult for Zheng Juan, and said that it was enough for her to know that the Youth League Office of Mulan County was willing to accept it.
In front of the staff, Su Mingzhe called Director Yang of the Mulan County Youth League Office.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe had already contacted the local authorities, the staff did not say anything more and directly helped to complete the formalities:
"Originally, after completing the paperwork process, we were supposed to leave next week, but the Spring Festival is coming soon, so the higher-ups gave the educated youth who reported in a little more leniency, allowing them to leave after the New Year."
"No need to go through so much trouble. Can it be done this Thursday? I want to... go there on Friday."
Zheng Juan naturally wanted to spend the New Year with her family, but now she wanted to go to Baiyashan with Su Mingzhe even more.
"That's okay too."
The clerk noticed that Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan were a little anxious and laughed:
"You are a couple, right? How about this, the procedure is not urgent, you can go there first, and then complete the formalities in Mulan County."
"Can I get a replacement?"
Su Mingzhe has a good relationship with Director Yang of the Youth League Office of Mulan County. When he heard that there would be no problem in completing the formalities again, he was immediately delighted.
Soon, Zheng Juan obtained the household registration transfer certificate, notice to go to the countryside and other documents.
At noon, Su Mingzhe took Zheng Juan home and showed the information to Jiang Cuiping.
Only then did Jiang Cuiping put her worries aside.
In the afternoon, Su Mingzhe took Zheng Juan back to the Zheng family.
"Is everything done?"
When Zheng's mother saw the two of them coming back happily, she asked a few questions and was not surprised to learn that Zheng Juan was going to Baiyashan with Su Mingzhe this Friday.
It is obvious that Zheng Juan had already discussed this decision with her mother.
“It’s not done yet, but we’ve asked and some of the procedures can be completed after arriving in Mulan County.”
"That's okay too."
Because Zheng Juan was going to leave with Su Mingzhe, Su Mingzhe was free to treat his brother-in-law's eye disease.
On Tuesday, Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan took Zheng Guangming to the eyewear store to get a pair of farsighted glasses.
"Sister, brother, I see you!"
Zheng Guangming put on his glasses and finally regained some vision. Although he was young and felt pain in his nose bridge from wearing the old-fashioned glasses, it was the first time since he was born that he saw the world so clearly, and the excitement in his heart was naturally indescribable.
"Does your nose hurt? Do you feel dizzy?"
Su Mingzhe knew that people who had just started wearing glasses would need a certain period of adjustment, so he asked his brother-in-law some questions.
"The bridge of my nose hurts a little, just a little bit."
When Zheng Guangming saw this world for the first time, he walked unsteadily.
Seeing that he couldn't express himself clearly, Su Mingzhe could only buy him another bottle of eye drops and reminded him:
"Please wear these glasses first. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us and we will come over to adjust them. Don't keep silent if you feel uncomfortable. If you do, it will cause secondary damage to your eyes."
"Well, I understand, brother."
Zheng Guangming didn't care whether he was dizzy or not at this time. He just wanted to practice "walking". Time passed day by day.
Zheng Guangming’s cataracts have been cured, but in order to adjust his farsightedness, he needs to exercise persistently every day.
Friday came in a blink of an eye, and Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan were ready to set off.
The temperature was so low that it was a bit scary. When I went out in the morning, the thermometer in the yard showed that the current outdoor temperature was minus 25 degrees Celsius.
"It's so cold and you can only sit in the car seat. Remember to wrap your coat and cloak tightly."
Jiang Cuiping took a rare morning off to see her son and daughter-in-law off.
Zheng's mother and Guangming also came and kept giving instructions to Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan.
"Don't worry, the car isn't going very fast, so it's not too cold."
After all, Su Mingzhe had taken this bus many times, so he took the opportunity to tell Zheng Juan what to pay attention to after getting on the bus.
At around seven o'clock, Wang Yafang's family also came to see her off.
As soon as the Wang family saw Su Mingzhe, their attitude was extremely enthusiastic and they kept thanking Su Mingzhe.
After listening for a while, Jiang Cuiping began to show murderous intent between her brows.
The Wang family didn't say anything.
It's nothing more than thanking Su Mingzhe for getting the 'five recommended places for college'. In two or three years, Wang Yafang will be able to go to college and return to the city.
However, Su Mingzhe had kept this matter a secret from Jiang Cuiping and had not told her.
Now, the Wang family has revealed the truth.
Naturally, Jiang Cuiping's face drooped all of a sudden.
Before, she could agree to Su Mingzhe marrying Zheng Juan because Su Mingzhe might stay in Baiyashan Village for the rest of his life, so she had no choice but to agree to her son marrying a girl from Taiping Hutong.
But now, my son will go to college and return to the city in two or three years. In the future, he will not only be a college student, but may even become a cadre and a city dweller.
Even though his son had such excellent conditions, he still wanted to marry Zheng Juan, who came from Taiping Hutong.
This is not a big loss, but a bloody loss.
Seeing his mother's anger growing, Su Mingzhe hurriedly bowed and smiled apologetically.
Just at this moment, the savior came.
"The bus is coming, the bus is coming, Mom, we should get in the bus."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Mingzhe quickly pulled Zheng Juan onto the truck.
"This bastard!"
Jiang Cuiping watched her son and Zheng Juan get into the car, knowing that the matter was done and all her dissatisfaction could only turn into a long sigh.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Now that Su Mingzhe has run away with Zheng Juan, there is nothing Jiang Cuiping can do even if she wants to regret it.
At around 3:00 p.m., the convoy arrived in Mulan County.
Because they didn't bring any goods this time, Su Mingzhe and the other two got off the car in front of the guesthouse.
Su Mingzhe directly booked three rooms, one for each of the three people.
"Fangfang, you can rest in the room for a while. I will take Juanzi to the Youth Office to handle the household registration transfer procedures."
"Brother Su, how about I go with you?"
Although Wang Yafang saw Zheng Juan, she was still somewhat unwilling to accept Su Mingzhe, and even the look she gave Zheng Juan was full of hostility.
"no need."
Su Mingzhe is not a fool. Seeing that Wang Yafang looks at Zheng Juan with an unfriendly look, he will definitely be on guard against her.
After all, if given a choice between his partner and his wife, he would definitely choose his wife.
Watching Su Mingzhe leaving holding Zheng Juan's hand, Wang Yafang stamped her feet, but had no choice but to go back to her room to rest.
Director Yang from the Youth Educated Office of Mulan County helped Zheng Juan obtain the household registration transfer certificate. He had a very good first impression of Zheng Juan:
"Xiao Su, now that your lover has come to Mulan County, are you planning to settle down here?"
"Uncle Yang, I have this plan."
Su Mingzhe originally wanted to go to the warehouse with Zheng Juan to collect rations, but was stopped by Director Yang. The two of them stayed in the corridor and smoked for a while before he spoke his mind:
"Bai Yashan Village is too small and has a small population. I want to take a longer-term view and have a bigger picture, such as a commune, a county town, or even the entire Jiangliao Province."
"You want to be a big leader?"
Director Yang didn't expect Su Mingzhe to be so ambitious, and couldn't help but laugh:
"I support your idea, but before you become a big leader, you need to develop Baiyashan Village first."
"I will."
Su Mingzhe talked to Director Yang and told him about his purchase of a bulldozer.
After Zheng Juan came back with the first month's rations, Director Yang invited Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan to his home for dinner.
"Uncle Yang, is Auntie home?"
"It's so cold, she must be at home."
"Then Juanzi and I will go over there now."
"go Go."
In the past, when Director Yang invited people to dinner, Su Mingzhe would wait for Director Yang to get off work and go home together.
But this time he brought his fiancée Zheng Juan with him.
Su Mingzhe felt sorry for Zheng Juan who must be cold and hungry after sitting on the bus for a long time, so he thought about going there early to prepare the meal so that they could eat earlier.
Su Mingzhe took Zheng Juan to put the rations back in the guesthouse and wanted to take his wife to Director Yang's house, but was stopped by Zheng Juan:
"Call Fangfang, after all, we are together."
"She treated you like that, and you still think about her?"
Su Mingzhe originally had a good impression of Wang Yafang. He thought that this girl was lively, cute, and bold in love and hate.
However, Wang Yafang never looked at Zheng Juan directly.
Su Mingzhe naturally felt much worse about Wang Yafang because he hated her.
"I can understand her."
Zheng Juan is really kind and generous. She smiled gently with her eyes:
"After all, she's so pretty and has liked you for so long. But now I've snatched her away halfway. If it happened to me, I'd be annoyed too."
"Okay then, I'll go call her."
Seeing that Zheng Juan really didn't care about Wang Yafang's attitude towards her, Su Mingzhe went to Wang Yafang's door and knocked.
"Who?"
"I, Fangfang, Director Yang invited us to his house for dinner. Let's go over now."
"Brother Su, please wait for me for a moment."
Although Wang Yafang disliked Zheng Juan, she still admired and was fascinated by Su Mingzhe.
When she heard Su Mingzhe calling her, she immediately ran over happily to open the door.
When the girl saw that Su Mingzhe was the only one at the door, her smile became even brighter:
"Brother Su, come in and sit for a while. I'll get a basin of water to wash my face."
"I won't go in. When you're done packing, just call me and we'll set off together."
Su Mingzhe didn't want to be alone in a room with a single woman and attract gossip, so he chatted with Wang Yafang and turned back to his room.
Some time ago, I had some family matters and gathered with a lot of people for a few days. Today I finally passed out.
I feel dizzy and cold all over.
(Warning friends, try not to gather in crowded places.)
