Chapter 289: Educated Youth vs. Village Grass 20
Qin Zhan carried him on his back and felt that he was unnaturally light. He couldn't help but feel distressed. With his malnourished condition, he needed to be well nourished.
Qin Zhan walked step by step with Song Zibai on his back, each step was very steady.
The scorching sun beat down on his back and sweat kept pouring down, but he didn't complain at all.
They walked like this for nearly an hour and were about to reach the town. Qin Zhan gently put Song Zibai on the ground.
"We'll be in town soon. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you got heatstroke? I'll buy you a bottle of soda to cool you down later." Qin Zhan looked at Song Zibai gently, his eyes full of concern.
Song Zibai lowered his head a little embarrassedly. They hadn't even gotten married yet, but Qin Zhan was so caring and concerned about him. He felt warm in his heart, but at the same time a little worried.
Song Zibai couldn't help but wonder, would Qin Zhan change after they got married? They say men stop cherishing things after they get them. He felt like a deer was fluttering around in his heart, feeling a little tangled.
However, Qin Zhan didn't give him the chance to hesitate for too long. He pulled him straight to the registration office.
At the registration office, the two followed the procedures and completed their marriage registration in just over ten minutes.
Song Zibai held the marriage certificate and felt like he was dreaming. He was a little confused. He was getting married already?
Qin Zhan, on the other hand, was happily distributing candy to the staff.
"Sister, thank you so much for troubling you. Come and share in the good luck." Qin Zhan said as he handed over a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and some fruit candies.
The staff member's eyes lit up immediately. In this era of scarcity, these candies were truly rare. The surrounding staff also cast envious glances at her.
"Oh, thank you, brother. I wish you a happy marriage!" The elder sister held the candy with a smile on her face, and said nice words as if they were free.
Qin Zhan was so happy when he saw this that he gave Song Zibai another handful of candy. Then he left the registration office with satisfaction, taking the still dazed Song Zibai with him.
The two of them walked slowly to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, but when they looked around, they couldn't see any soda stall.
In this special era, free trade is strictly prohibited. It is a red line that no one dares to touch easily. Once violated, there is a risk of being arrested.
It is precisely because of this that the black market, a special existence, has emerged, which seems to be a gray area outside the rules.
At this time, the sun was gradually rising and it was almost eleven o'clock.
The two of them started working early in the morning and walked for more than two hours. After a busy morning, their feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and fatigue washed over them like a tide.
"Zibai, let's go have lunch first. After lunch, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some things we need." Qin Zhan said as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Song Zibai did feel extremely hungry. At around four o'clock in the morning, he had only eaten a few biscuits. After running around for such a long time, his physical strength had been exhausted and the feeling of hunger had been with him for a long time.
"Well, actually there is nothing special to buy. We can just invite the captain's family to the wedding banquet." Song Zibai frowned slightly and said softly.
He felt that he was not very familiar with other people in the village, and the only family he could chat with and talk to was the team leader's family.
"Okay, we can hold the banquet later. I just arrived and don't know much about the situation in the village yet.
"Let's get familiar with the villagers, invite more people, and have a lively party." Qin Zhan explained with a smile. Song Zibai didn't quite understand Qin Zhan's idea. He tilted his head, his eyes full of curiosity, and looked at Qin Zhan quietly.
"We're going to live in this village for a long time, so shouldn't we find a suitable excuse to get to know the villagers? If we run into any difficulties in the future, there will be someone who can help us."
I just arrived and don’t know anyone. After a few days, when I’m familiar with everyone, we can have a grand wedding…” In fact, Qin Zhan didn’t want their wedding banquet to be deserted. He didn’t want Song Zibai to feel wronged. He hoped to give Song Zibai an unforgettable wedding.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Song Zibai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile.
The two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the state-owned restaurant. Today, the state-owned restaurant did not have the mouth-watering braised pork, but it did have dumplings.
"Zibai, can we eat dumplings?" Qin Zhan turned to look at Song Zibai and asked.
"Okay." Song Zibai nodded in response. Dumplings were not something most people could eat, and yet he was asking if it was okay? He really wanted to pry open Qin Zhan's mind to see what he was thinking.
"Give me another serving of spare ribs and another serving of braised pork." Qin Zhan looked at the few dishes on the small blackboard, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
There are too few dishes in this restaurant, and the choices are limited.
"We two can't finish so much." Song Zibai said with some concern, and at the same time reached out and gently tugged at Qin Zhan's sleeve.
