Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 286
Yang Xiaotao swept his eyes over the crowd, and then looked at Ran Qiuye who was beside him.

The two sides met eyes, and Ran Qiuye's cheeks turned red instantly.

"Uncle Wang, gentlemen and aunts."

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Li, and Aunt Wang."

"Finally, there is my aunt."

Yang Xiaotao greeted each of them one by one, and then took the wine with both hands.

"Don't worry, Qiuye followed me, they are my family."

"I, Yang Xiaotao, will respect her, love her, love her and protect her in my life."

"As long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let her go hungry."

"I also want to guarantee that if Qiuye follows me, I will let her eat fat, dress warmly, and live a good life."

Yang Xiaotao said it sincerely. Aunt Wang held Ran Qiuye's hand beside her. Hearing such straightforward words, her fingers felt a little hot.

When Aunt Wang and Mother Ran saw each other, they both smiled knowingly.

After hearing this, Uncle Wang and the others kept nodding their heads.

"Masters, I, Yang Xiaotao, will definitely do what I say."

"This glass of wine, I'm done!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaotao raised his head and drank up the wine.

"Okay! It's a man!"

"Dry!"

Below, the lively atmosphere broke out again. After the cutscene, they also got the answer they wanted, and both sides were very satisfied.

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao supported Yang Dazhuang, Aunt Wang supported Uncle Li, and they left Ran's house.

Before leaving, Mother Ran divided some of the dowry gifts and asked Yang Xiaotao to take them back.

Only 66 yuan was left for 36 yuan, leaving a bag of noodles and rice to take home.

In this way, this engagement is considered complete.

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao helped Yang Dazhuang to rest in the house, and went back to the room to lie down and sleep.

Tomorrow, there is another big event waiting for him.

At dawn the next day, Yang Xiaotao got up early, and Yang Dazhuang, who had slept all night, also sobered up. After breakfast, the two of them set off for Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Xiaotao left the courtyard on a bicycle.

Before going out, I took a special look at the exchange bar. The things in it were all in appearance, and there was everything for food and use, and there was no need to spend credits.

Now Yang Xiaotao is accumulating credits to improve his sub-skill Mechanical Proficiency, let's see what good things are available at the third level.

It's just that during this period of time, I was busy, and I didn't have much time to read books, so the credits were a bit slow to earn.

According to the rules given by the system, Level 100 Mechanical Proficiency requires 200 credits, Level 400 requires [-] credits, and Level [-] requires at least [-] credits.

If it was before, it would only be a month.

But now, there are too many things to do, and there are only 350 credits at the moment. If you want to upgrade, you still have to spend time and read books.

Thinking to himself, Yang Xiaotao had already arrived at the rolling mill by bicycle and asked Wang Guodong for a day off.

Wang Guodong asked what was going on, but Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything, took out his cigarettes, and said to get the certificate.

Wang Guodong readily agreed, and said to call him when the banquet was held.

Yang Xiaotao left the rolling mill and came to Ran Qiuye's house.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye was fully dressed, wearing yesterday's red sweater, the difference was that her hair was combed into a long braid, and her bangs were slanted, making her look more mature.

After meeting Ran's mother, under the watchful eyes of the two, Ran's mother handed over the household registration booklet to Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye took the household registration book solemnly, opened it gently, and Yang Xiaotao saw the name of the head of the household.

Ran Zhiqiang!
A very contemporary name.

Yang Xiaotao kept it in his heart.

The two left the yard, Ran Qiuye didn't ride the bike, but sat on the back seat, wrapping around Yang Xiaotao's waist, they came to the Civil Affairs Bureau and walked to the marriage registration office.

When Yang Xiaotao and the others came, there were already people waiting, all young men and women, shy and expectant.

Yang Xiaotao dragged Ran Qiuye to the back of the line and waited, taking a look around at the situation.

Slogans were painted on the surrounding walls, and portraits of great men were hung.

It's just that there are no photos on the side, and there is no divorce window.

The person in charge of the marriage is a middle-aged woman with a kind attitude and a smile on everyone.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, it was finally Yang Xiaotao's turn.

The two sat down and put their account books on the table.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, are you willing to marry Comrade Ran Qiuye?"

The middle-aged woman asked.

"Yes, I voluntarily!"

"Ok!"

"Comrade Ran Qiuye, are you willing to marry Comrade Yang Xiaotao?"

"Yes I do!"

"it is good!"

The middle-aged woman nodded, then took out a "certificate of award", wrote the names of the two people on it with a pen, then took out the seal, and sealed it with a click.

Then hand it over to Yang Xiaotao.

The two came to the side and looked at the marriage certificate in their hands.

The main color of the marriage certificate is red, and the patterns around it are auspicious patterns in traditional culture, and the three characters "marriage certificate" are written in the middle.

Below, is a horizontal row of small characters.

Yang Xiaotao, male, 22 years old.

Ran Qiuye, female, 20 years old.

Marriage of one's own will, after review and approval...issue this certificate!
1962 9 Month 17 Day.

It is simple and clear, but it highlights the four words of voluntary marriage, which also means that marriage is independent and free.

"Daughter-in-law, put it away, with this, we are a legal husband and wife!"

As Yang Xiaotao said, all the men and women nearby looked over. Ran Qiuye lowered his head and put the marriage certificate into his backpack, "When the child comes out, you can register for a household registration."

At the end Yang Xiaotao said something else, Ran Qiuye speeded up and left the registration office as soon as he was done.

The two left the marriage registration office and were not in a hurry to go home, but walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye along, and the two of them walked on the road at a leisurely pace. Many people would say a few words when they saw each other. There are not many people with bicycles these days.

It is even rarer for young people to bring objects.

When they came to the supply and marketing cooperative, Ran Qiuye took out the sewing ticket that Yang Xiaotao gave her last time. The two went to the counter and handed the certification letter and the ticket to the salesperson. After checking and registering, a Yan brand sewing machine appeared in front of them.

Ran Qiuye caressed it in a novel way. The shiny body and spotless pedals immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

At this time, outside, a tall figure came over, followed by a tall and thin young man, looking at Yu Haitang from time to time.

"Yang Weimin, hurry up, you'll be gone if you're late!"

Yu Haitang walked ahead and urged her, and when she looked up, she saw the people surrounding her.

"Hai Tang, it doesn't matter, I can definitely buy it."

As the man said that, he saw Yu Haitang standing there suddenly.

Looking along the eyes, I found a bunch of people gathered in front, pointing fingers.

In the center, a man and a woman were guarding a sewing machine. The man took out money and was lighting it, and people around were talking about it.

Viewed from the side, the woman was beautiful and more tender than the Yu Haitang he was after.

"What are you looking at?"

When Yu Haitang's voice sounded, Yang Weimin turned his eyes away, "Haitang, do you know that person?"

"Hmph, I don't know!"

Yu Haitang snorted coldly.

"Oh, I see you keep watching, thinking you know each other!"

"Hey, are you annoying? I told you I don't know you. Let's go and buy shoes!"

As Yu Haitang spoke, he glanced at the crowd again, that figure, that sewing machine, and that woman.

snort!
Yu Haitang ran away, and Yang Weimin looked at Ran Qiuye and Yang Xiaotao again. He always felt that Yu Haitang knew these two people, but now he couldn't care less and hurried to catch up.

Among the crowd, Yang Xiaotao counted the 198 yuan and handed it to the salesperson.

Then, I picked up the sewing machine and left the counter.

"Is it sinking?"

Ran Qiuye was worried at the side, but Yang Xiaotao acted as if nothing had happened, and was still joking.

"With one more you, I can also hug."

"Bullshit."

"Yes, nonsense!"

"Hey, you went wrong, that's not the door."

Ran Qiuye watched Yang Xiaotao walking towards the grocery store, and asked quickly.

"That's right! This one is here, so I have to buy something!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the counter with his sewing machine in his arms.

Today's arrangement is to buy things besides receiving the certificate.

The net worth accumulated over the years is enough.

Ran Qiuye quickly followed.

In front of the counter, Yu Haitang and Yang Weimin were choosing shoes. It was going to be cold soon, and they were all preparing to buy cotton shoes at this time.

It’s just that buying shoes requires a ticket and a lot of money. Generally, the family buys cloth, uses leather as the sole, and makes cotton shoes by themselves.

Cotton shoes like this one bought at the counter are made of leather with a thick sole and fur inside, making them comfortable and warm to wear.

"How about this pair?"

Yu Haitang said, holding a pair of high boots in her hands, she looked very beautiful.

The salesperson is also a girl, explaining from the side.

"It's new this year!"

Yu Haitang nodded, then looked at Yang Weimin who was at the side.

At this time, Yang Weimin was a little embarrassed.

Because the tickets I brought with me this time are not enough.

"Haitang, why don't we change a pair!"

"Yang Weimin, you said you brought me to buy shoes, what's wrong, my heart hurts, you said it earlier! I won't come!"

"No, Haitang, this, I came out in a hurry this time, I'll buy a pair first, next time, next time I will definitely buy it for you!"

"Hehe, next time, there may not be any next time!"

"What's the truth, I think it's all fake!"

Yu Haitang curled his mouth at Lao Gao, with a look of disdain, but his eyes kept on looking at the shoes on the counter.

If you wear it, you will have more face whether it is in the rolling mill or in the compound.

Especially let my sister see, and Yang Xiaotao, what's so great about buying a sewing machine.

hum~
I will have too.

"No, Haitang, what I said is true..."

When Yang Weimin was trying to explain, Yang Xiaotao came to the side holding the sewing machine and Ran Qiuye.

He also saw Yu Haitang, but he didn't have any impression of the young man beside him, and he didn't say hello, just stood aside.

"Hello comrade, what do you want to buy?"

The salesperson came over immediately when he saw the brand-new sewing machine. People are biased, especially the salesperson, who cares more about the rich and capable.

"Hello, comrade, I want to buy two pairs of cotton shoes!"

"Two pairs of cotton shoes? Okay, what size are they?"

"One pair for men, size 43, one pair for women, size 37!"

Yang Xiaotao proficiently reported the sizes of the two of them, while Ran Qiuye watched silently from the side, feeling very sweet in his heart.

I just remembered that night my feet were…

Sweet and shy.

"Ok!"

The salesperson immediately turned around, took two pairs of cotton boots from the shelf, and handed them to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took a look, the men's were short leather boots, and the women's were high boots.

All are new.

Ran Qiuye on the side also stepped forward to try it out, reached out to touch the inside, and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is a pair of these shoes?"

"This lesbian, these are the new shoes for this year, all made of genuine leather."

"The lady's pair costs 10 yuan, plus three feet of cloth ticket."

"The men's ones are cheaper, only 8 yuan and a two-foot cloth ticket."

Ran Qiuzi calculated, and immediately opened his mouth wide, but before she could speak, Yang Xiaotao spoke again, "Comrade, I still need two pairs of cotton shoes, one male and one female!"

"Men wear 43, women wear Akiba, how big are mom's feet?"

Ran Qiuye came back to his senses, looking at Yang Xiaotao, his heart ached for Qian.

"Autumn leaves?"

"Oh, mom is the same as me, both are 37!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, carefully placed the sewing machine in his hand on the ground, and then took out a wallet from his pocket, "Comrade, let's do the math together!"

"Okay, wait a minute."
