Aunt Zhang was indeed the director of the neighborhood committee. She directly went to the factory's party secretary, Secretary Wang, to explain the situation and asked He Yuzhu to write a marriage application on the spot. Secretary Wang had also heard that many young girls who had fled from other places had recently started families with others. However, only those with poor families married these women. Those with good conditions married those with Beijing's household registration.
He couldn't understand why He Yuzhu, who was so well-off, would marry a woman from another city. Wasn't He Yuzhu very demanding? However, when he saw Zhao Wanqiu's appearance clearly, the doubts in his heart were resolved. She was so alluring!
Secretary Wang was not worried about Zhao Wanqiu's identity at all with the guarantee of the director of the neighborhood committee. He readily agreed and wrote a written consent form. After handing it to He Yuzhu, he smiled and gave his blessings to the two of them. He Yuzhu also asked Secretary Wang for a day off.
After that, Aunt Zhang brought He Yuzhu and the other two to the supply and marketing company to pick out a new set of clothes for Zhao Wanqiu. After all, they were going to take their wedding photos later, and they had to have new clothes. Of course, the tickets were paid by Aunt Zhang. He Yuzhu did not buy any ready-made tickets, and he only had cloth tickets. He wanted to use cloth tickets to compensate Aunt Zhang, but Aunt Zhang said that she would not accept it no matter what. She said that this ticket would be her wedding gift to them. He Yuzhu could only accept it.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the four of them went to the photo studio to take photos. There was no one in the photo studio, so they spent about an hour to get the photos. He Yuzhu looked at his watch and realized that it would be 12 o'clock in 20 minutes. He Yuzhu quickly said,"Aunt Zhang, we've been busy all morning. Let's go and have a meal. We'll do our work after dinner.”
"That's good. Zhu Zi, you know how to care for others. You can't starve your future wife and sister-in-law.”After saying that, He Yuzhu brought the three of them to the nearest state-owned restaurant. When he entered, he asked. There was only noodles today, no meat. He Yuzhu wanted to show off his strength, but unfortunately, he did not have the chance. He could only order four bowls of noodles helplessly.
After paying the bill, He Yuzhu asked Mrs. Zhang and the other two to find a table to sit down at. She went to the soda stand outside and bought four bottles of soda. The four of them chatted while drinking.
Zhao Wanqiu slowly told her about her situation. She used to live in a village with thousands of people in northern Sichuan. The Zhao family was the main surname in the village, so the village was called Zhao Family Village.
There were ten people in her family. She had three brothers. The eldest brother got married three years ago and had a boy. The second brother just married a girl from the neighboring village at the beginning of last year. The third brother did not like to study. After graduating from primary school, he stayed at home to farm. The younger sister was in the third grade. Overall, the living conditions of her family were not bad. After all, there were four strong laborers.
However, since the beginning of last year, the famine had become more and more serious. Everyone suddenly began to have insufficient food. Later, when the autumn harvest came, the village harvested very little food. They could not eat for a few days at all, and the entire village panicked.
At the end of the year, many families ran out of food. Their family's food supply was about to run out. They could not survive anymore. There was no other way. The entire village gathered together to think of a solution. After a discussion, the village organized some people to go hunting in the mountains. All the elderly went out to beg, hoping to last until the government provided relief food.
After the new year, the government provided relief food, but the entire county was short of food. The amount given to the village was inadequate. More than a month ago, some young girls in the village could not sit still from hunger. In the end, they discussed going out to make a living and finding a family with food to marry.
Zhao Wanqiu had not studied since she graduated from junior high school last year. Ever since she ran out of food, in order for the men in the family to eat more, the few of them only ate some clear soup every day. They were so hungry that they lay in bed the entire day. She felt extremely sad when she saw her family starve every day.
Therefore, when a girl who was close to her told her that they had decided to leave the village tomorrow and asked her if she wanted to leave, she agreed without hesitation. She told her family that she wanted to leave too, but her family objected. In the end, she secretly left a letter and left the next morning with the excuse of taking her sister to dig wild vegetables. Her parents and brothers did not suspect anything. Then, she and her sister left the village with the girl from the village.
At first, they didn't know where to go, but after some discussion, they felt that the capital shouldn't be lacking in food, so they begged all the way to the capital. On the way, they passed by many cities. Some girls were introduced to men who were willing to marry them and stayed behind. Many of them took a fancy to her, but they said that they only wanted her. Since she had brought her sister out, she had to support her sister. In the end, no one was willing to support another one.
Just like that, she and her younger sister came to the capital with great difficulty the day before yesterday. The girls from the same village were already married, so they were taken in by the government officials. They washed up and gave her and her younger sister two full meals. Although there were only miscellaneous grains and plain water, it was the best she and her younger sister had ever eaten. Then, this morning, she was brought to Auntie Zhang and asked to follow her.
。He Yuzhu and Aunt Zhang listened with heavy hearts and did not know what to say. At this moment, the noodles were served. Zhao Wanqiu and her sister stared at the noodles and could not help but swallow their saliva. Aunt Zhang quickly said,""Child, quickly eat your noodles. Don't stand on ceremony. It's been a tough year for you two. You two will definitely live a good life in the future.”
Zhao Wanqiu and her sister wolfed down their food. In just a short while, they had almost finished their bowl of noodles. He Yuzhu and Aunt Zhang pushed their bowls of noodles in front of them. He Yuzhu stood up and asked for two bowls. After the two sisters were full, Aunt Zhang asked He Yuzhu to ride his bicycle home to get his household register. She brought Zhao Wanqiu and her sister to the neighborhood committee. After He Yuzhu brought the household register, they would get their marriage certificate.
He Yuzhu quickly returned to the courtyard house. He didn't see anyone in the courtyard. He didn't even take a sip of water. He took out the household register from the cabinet and rode to the neighborhood committee.
When He Yuzhu arrived at the neighborhood committee, Aunt Zhang and Zhao Wanqiu were sitting in the office drinking water. When she saw He Yuzhu, Aunt Zhang smiled and took out two marriage certificates that looked like awards. She quickly wrote the contents and stamped them before handing them to the two of them." Alright, you two are legally married now. You must live well in the future."”
He Yuzhu looked at Zhao Wanqiu who was holding the marriage certificate with a shy face. That seductive look really made his heart flutter. He held Zhao Wanqiu's hand and promised,""Wanqiu, I, He Yuzhu, will never let the two of you suffer like before in this lifetime. In the future, we will definitely be happy every day.”
