Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"what!"

Xu Xiaoran was shocked by Yi Bufan's idea. She quickly covered her mouth and looked around. It seemed that no one was paying attention to them.

"Think about it, if we get married, we'll both be working, and we can pay one dollar less in rent. And if we get a job, we'll soon get a hukou here, and we'll both enjoy the same treatment as city dwellers, with double the tickets, food, and meat. Our lives will definitely be better than others."

"Besides, when you get married in the future, won't you just let the matchmaker point you to someone and it'll be over once your parents agree? It's better for us to be a couple."

"Besides, the gangster manager just said that there is only one house left in the yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. We have to hurry!"

Yi Bufan thought that he had to settle the house first and then have a home.

"You mean, go get the certificate now?"

Xu Xiaoran also understood what Yi Bufan said, and it seemed that what he said was right.

Nowadays, women get married just to have enough food to eat, so when the time comes, they will really ask a matchmaker to find a man for them.

"Yes, my documents are all in my bag. It's up to you."

Yi Bufan looked at Xu Xiaoran's bag.

"I, I brought my ID too."

Xu Xiaoran's heart beat faster. Was it destined that something like this would happen today?

When I came to report, I was not supposed to bring my household registration book, but my sister said that in case I needed it, I asked my mother for it. I didn't expect that I didn't use it for registration, but used it for this.

"Then let's go get the certificate. It happens to be right next to the street office right now."

Yi Bufan took out his household registration book.

In those days, the marriage registration office was also located in the street office.

"Will your parents agree?"

Xu Xiaoran clutched her bag, feeling a little nervous.

"What era is this now? I won't listen to my parents' orders or matchmakers' words. I want to fall in love freely."

Yi Bufan smiled contemptuously, but in Xu Xiaoran's eyes, he was so sunny.

"But this is too much of a joke. I don't want to get married so early."

Xu Xiaoran was a little confused.

"At worst, we can get the marriage certificate and buy a house first, and then be a couple in name only. We can save a dollar in rent every month."

Yi Bufan thought, he should reserve a seat first.

"Okay, I'll marry you! I want to be in love freely, too! But, we can't be husband and wife for now."

Xu Xiaoran finally made a decision. Yi Bufan was right. Even if they were really together, their life would not be bad. It would be better than that of most people.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoran felt that Yi Bufan in front of her was quite good-looking and capable, so she decided to try to get along with him first.

Five minutes later, Yi Bufan took Xu Xiaoran into another office with a sign hanging on it: Marriage Registry.

"Marriage registration!"

Yi Bufan put his household registration book on the table, and Xu Xiaoran also gently pushed his household registration book over.

"anything else?"

The middle-aged woman reached out and looked at the two of them?

"What else? Nine dollars?"

Yi Bufan was stunned.

"Why nine dollars? It's free. Where's the letter of introduction?"

The middle-aged woman was speechless.

"no!"

Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran both shook their heads.

"If you don't have a marriage, you need to go to your work unit to get a letter of introduction, and also go to the street office of the compound where you live to get a letter of introduction. If you live in a village, you need a letter of introduction from the collective brigade."

The middle-aged woman said casually.

"But we don't have any!"

Yi Bufan was dumbfounded. This marriage was just a spur of the moment decision, so how could there be so many preparations?

"If you don't have one, go and open one! Come back when you're done!"

The middle-aged woman looked at Yi Bufan as if he were a fool.

Xu Xiaoran also pulled Yi Bufan, wanting him to leave.

"No, Auntie, what I mean is that we just came back from the Great Northern Wilderness. We haven't started working yet and don't have a job."

"Besides, my household registration book doesn't say which village's collective brigade I belong to."

Yi Bufan looked embarrassed.

"No? Then you have to provide it too..." The middle-aged woman who was looking at Yi Bufan's household registration book suddenly stopped talking and looked at Yi Bufan again: "You, your parents are gone?"

"Well, I was seriously injured in a test explosion and passed away half a month ago. So, I can't get these letters of introduction now. Do you think you can make some concessions?"

Yi Bufan's face became somewhat sad, even Xu Xiaoran beside him was stunned. She turned her head and stared at Yi Bufan's face, feeling a little pity and a little distressed. She had not even looked at Yi Bufan's household registration book just now, so naturally she didn't know that Yi Bufan's parents had passed away.

Yi Bufan then explained everything in detail.

"Of course we can open it. This is the street office! I'll open it for you! Wait for me."

The middle-aged woman got up and went out.

"Are you OK?"

Xu Xiaoran asked softly.

"It's okay, but you won't disagree with marrying me because of my parents!"

Yi Bufan looked at Xu Xiaoran with sincere eyes.

"No, you'll have me in the future!"

Xu Xiaoran hugged Yi Bufan gently. This was the first time she hugged a boy other than her father and brother.

"Thank you!"

Yi Bufan also hugged Xu Xiaoran with his backhand. Her chest was a little small and needed to be developed.

Ten minutes later, Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran each held a piece of cardboard in their hands and smiled at each other. They were married.

The marriage certificate of this era is just a piece of cardboard, and the information registered on it is relatively simple, such as date of birth, gender, and place of origin.

"If you have any problems in the future, come to the street office to find Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang will help you."

Aunt Wang patted Yi Bufan on the shoulder.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Wang, let's go see if there is a house nearby that can provide us with accommodation."

Yi Bufan didn't expect that he had met a little backer.

"Yes, of course there is. I'll take you to find Liu Neng."

Aunt Wang volunteered, which made Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran even happier.

"You're married!"

Liu Neng was shocked when he saw Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran showing their marriage certificates.

"Why, you don't believe me? I just registered for it!"

Aunt Wang glared at him and Liu Neng immediately smiled apologetically.

"No, how could I not believe it? I will arrange a house for you right now."

Liu Neng glanced at Xu Xiaoran again and felt bad. How could such a smart girl be deceived so easily?

Moreover, the middle-aged woman in front of him, surnamed Wang, is just as her name suggests, Wang Tiejun, and she is about to become the deputy director of this subdistrict office. How dare he offend her?

......

No. 95 Nanluoguxiang (Red Star Courtyard).

It was noon and almost everyone was in the yard.

[Congratulations to the host for meeting the conditions for activating the Emotional Mall system! ]

【Congratulations to the host for receiving the meeting gift. 】

【Do you want to open it? 】

"Hmm? System?"

Just when Yi Bufan stepped into the Red Star Courtyard, a prompt sound appeared in his mind. It was actually a female voice, and it sounded a little coquettish.

[Yes, coming to the Red Star Courtyard is a condition for activating this system.]

"(National Essence), why didn't you tell me earlier! What can you do?"
