Zhaonan finally lowered his gaze to examine the rubber shoes in his hand.He didn't hesitate to sit down and put his shoes on.After putting on the glasses, Rong Zhaonan's handsome face showed an expre...The big movement hasn't been around for two years, and the organizer is really afraid of young people like Ning Yuan who are full of chicken blood and slogans.

She could only wryly smile and say, "Yeah, yeah... yeah."

Can she still say that such advanced thinking is wrong

Then the older sister finally took out two marriage certificates, wrote Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan's names on them, stamped them, and hurriedly sent them away.

Ning Yuan looked at the marriage certificate printed with the leader's quotations, holding back her pounding heart, and walked out of the office with Huazi.

Once she stepped out the door, she finally let out a sigh of relief, tucked her hands in her hips, and with a giggle, laughed aloud, "Hey, I did it!"

Huazi also let out a breath: "Ningzhiqing, you're amazing. You almost scared me to death just now."

He doesn't even know how to respond.

Ning Yuan watched Huazi's naive look and smiled, "Thanks for your hard work, Huazi ge. You go fetch the fertilizer first, and I'll head to the county's department store."

The Marriage Registration Office is not far from the county city department store, just a ten-minute

Huazi nodded. "Okay, then I'll meet you at the entrance of the department store."

Hua Zi drove the tractor, "vroom vroom," again.

Ning Yuan went all the way to the county city's department store. The people on the street were either wearing green military uniforms, blue worker clothes, or white shirts.

unadorned.

The most impressive building in the county town is a three-story department store, which opened last month after renovation. It was originally called the Department Store Branch.

There was a long line when it first opened, and even though today is a weekday, there are still a lot of people.

She looked at the bustling entrance of the department store, touched the five dollars in her pocket, and walked inside.

Since she was reborn back to her youth, she had to familiarize herself with the environment again and figure out how to make money in the future.

The first floor of the department store has counters on both sides, displaying various household items. The cash register is located at the highest point.

As soon as she stepped through the door and stood at the counter, -- "Whoosh!" -- a small metal plate with money attached flew past her head along the wires.

Ning Yuan jumped in fright, looked up, and at the various wires above. She just remembered—

Then, you don't need to go to the cashier to pay when buying things.

Above the cash register were several long iron wires connected to the sales counters. If someone chose their items and paid the cashier, they would hand over the payment slip.

The sales assistant will put the money ticket and the filled-out receipt in a small tray, then push the tray hard with force. The tray slides along the wire track to the cashier's counter.

The cashier counted the money, put together the change, tickets and stamped receipts, and slid them back to the salesperson's counter.

She looked at the thin ropes and then at the sales clerks and cashiers in the department store, looking energetic and lively. She couldn't help but smile.

Ah, how I miss it...

"What are you buying Don't block the people behind you!" An employee with two butterfly clips in her hair looked at Ning Yuan standing there giggling, and rolled her eyes.

Ning Yuan didn't get angry because of her attitude, instead she was in a very good mood and even smiled at the sales clerk.

When times are hard, retail workers at department stores have it good, even better than many civil servants in government. Salespeople have connections to get things that can't be bought with tickets, so their service attitude is often poor.

Seeing such shop assistants again, Ning Yuan was even more certain that her life had truly started over!

She strolled through the department store, top to bottom. The county town's department store was still the same as she remembered it. There seemed to be a lot of stuff, but nothing fancy.

Soon after the reforms were implemented, the south prospered first. In the late 1980s, people gradually started to do away with ration coupons for cloth, grain, mail, meat, and industrial goods....

But now it is still a planned economy era, where tickets are harder to get than money.

The good thing was she still had some money and coupons saved up, so she wasn't stupid enough to contribute them all to Tang Zhenzhen.

An hour later, Ning Yuan came out carrying a bottle of Songhe liquor, a shoebox, and a thermos flask.

From afar, she saw Huazi driving the tractor loaded with fertilizer. She hurried over with her things and smiled: "Huazi ge, let's go home!"

"Okay, let's go!" Hua Zi said with a smile.

The tractor sputtered and rattled its way out of town, heading for the village.

Two people sat in the pesticide-spraying truck as they returned to the village, it was already afternoon.

When they reached the village entrance, Ning Yuan looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then suddenly passed the wine to Hua Zi: "Hua Zi ge, this is for you and Lao Zibishu."

Huazi immediately and incredulously refused: "This isn't your wedding wine, is it This won't do!"

A bottle of Songhe Liquor costs 2.5 yuan, it's not like those special cheap liquor from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative that only costs a few cents.

Ning Yuan smiled and curved her eyes: "That's right, I got married. Please drink to those who have helped me. It's not against the rules, I'm leaving!"

Saying that, she shoved the bottle into Huazi's arms, grabbed the rest and jumped off the tractor before running away.

Although she used some sweet talk to persuade the old chief to help herself.

The old bookie is a good person, otherwise he wouldn't sympathize with himself and let Hua Zi go into the city to get a marriage certificate.

"Wait a minute... Oh dear..." Hua Zi was still driving the tractor, so he quickly stuffed the wine into the back of it. He didn't want anyone to see and gossip about him.

First, I drove the tractor back to the office of the production team.

"Dad, look at this......!" Hua Zi told Lao Zishu about what had happened.

He is afraid that accepting gifts would violate discipline.

The old secretary puffed on his cigarette, eyeing the bottle of Songhe Liquor. He nodded approvingly.—

That girl also gave out wedding candy yesterday, and the little kids were delighted. She's so grateful, take it. It doesn't break any rules, it's just wedding wine!

Hua Zi was very happy: "Okay, tonight, ask Manhua to stir-fry a dish of peanuts and dried fish."

Nowadays, the common bar snacks are just peanuts and fried dried fish because they're cheap.

The old head thought for a moment: "Right, tell Manhua, these days, even if you give Ning Zhiqing a wedding leave, no work points will be deducted."

Màn Huā is the team's scorekeeper and also Huázī's daughter-in-law. She's a third generation educated youth who married the village secretary's son.

Huazi nodded. “Good.”

Ning Yuan carried the shoebox and thermos of hot water back to the barn all the way.

In the afternoon at four o'clock, under the brilliant sunshine of late autumn, Rong Zhaonan saw a figure running towards him from afar.

The girl's two braids swayed back and forth, and her whole person looked like a bright daisy in the field.

Rong Zhaonan looked for a while, lowered his eyes, and continued repairing the roof.

Is Xiaote doing so well because she finished her mission in the county town

Ning Yuan returned to the small house beside the cow shed, put down her things, and took a big gulp of water from her enamel cup before she felt quenched.

"That's strange, I didn't see Rong Zhaonan in the stables just now. Where did he go" Ning Yuan looked around, a little puzzled.

Suddenly, a cold male voice came from above the roof: "Do you have something to do with me"

Ning Yuan jumped in fright and looked up, only to find a person crouching on the ceiling beam.

"What are you doing up there You scared the wits out of me!" she exclaimed, startled.

Rong Zhaonan single-handedly propped himself up, then with a quick and clean move, he executed a beautiful backflip, landing beside Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but widen her eyes and clap. "Amazing! Did you used to do gymnastics"

Rong Zhaonan: "This is not gymnastics."

Ning Yuan was excited: "Wow, did you used to learn acrobatics Can you stilt walk and stand on a bowl"

It's hard to imagine such a great person in the future, who had to learn acrobatics when they were little.

Rong Zhaonan's lips twitched, and he gave her a cold glance: "...."

This little spy is truly clueless, or is he just pretending

Didn't she do a background check on him before getting close to himshe ended up clinging to the village chief's leg.It seems Ning Yuan is truly different from her former timid and shy self.She's still in the village now, so it's best not to offend Ning Yuan just for...
