Chapter 15

Bai family really come to his aid You should know that most of my people are ordinary people!" Gu Jie said in a low voice.The old lady of the Bai family nodded and said, “That's natural. The people f...Ningyuan thought she wouldn't sleep well, but that night, she slept soundly until natural awakening.

It wasn't until sunlight streamed through the leaky roof and fell into her eyes that she stirred sleepily, rolling over and opening them.

The next moment, she saw that the bed beside her was empty, with only a neatly folded thin blanket on it.

Róng Zhāonán, who was sleeping on the edge, was gone.

Ning Yuan woke up suddenly. She instinctively sat up and looked down at herself.

Well, I'm fine. No problem.

She rubbed her round face, oh well, what was she thinking about

Okay, she believed Rong Zhaonan was a righteous person. Besides, Mr. Rong was indeed such a person.

He came from a privileged background and family. Besides, in this era, being a gangster would lead to execution.

But when she later realized that some men may appear to be gentlemen, but are actually "hypocritical" and "wolves in sheep's clothing," it was already too late.

Ning Yuan got out of bed, but she discovered that Rong Zhaonan wasn't in the cattle shed either. She had no idea where he had gone early this morning.

"Strange..." she muttered, beginning to tidy herself and her room.

Ning Yuan is a person who loves cleanliness very much. When she lived in the countryside as a young intellectual, she basically took care of most of the housework at the communal residence.

After tidying up, she took out the cookies again for breakfast.

Ning Yuan wasn't sure if Rong Zhaonan had eaten breakfast. She ate a few pieces herself for breakfast and left four or five biscuits on the table for Rong Zhaonan.

I ate a whole package of these everlasting green crackers over two days, and there's not much left.

Ning Yuan didn't feel sorry at all. Good things should be used on herself and those who deserve it, better than feeding someone like Tang Zhenzhen.

Just as she was ready to leave with her materials, she saw Rong Zhaonan walking down the path carrying a basket full of grass.

He was still wearing black-rimmed glasses and a patched, loose worker's outfit. His handsome face was mostly covered up.

The two of them took a photo together. He nodded slightly. “Did you wake up”

Ning Yuan was a little uncomfortable, and coughed lightly: "Cough, Doctor Rong...well, Zhao...Zhao Nan, you're up early."

Although her toes curled with embarrassment, she now had to get used to calling him by his name in such an intimate way.

Thinking about it, in a few years, no one will be able to casually call this influential figure by name. She has a sense of unreality and detachment.

Hearing her stammer his name, Rong Zhaonan asked faintly, "Did you have breakfast Are you going out"

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "That's right. We agreed yesterday that we would go to the county town to get our marriage license today, didn't we Huazi will take your place. The village committee has already prepared the introduction letter and documents."

Nowadays, getting a marriage certificate is just a formality.

Rong Zhaonan pressed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and as if casually asked, "When will you be back"

Maybe she met her contact outside the village, in the county town

Ning Yuan shook her head. "Unsure, maybe just pick up some things on the way back"

Rong Zhaonan raised an eyebrow: "Using the ill-gotten gains you acquired yesterday"

Ning Yuan let out a soft hum: “Yes, I'll use the ill-gotten gains I got yesterday to buy things. We're husband and wife, so if I used ill-gotten gains, then you used them too!”

Saying that, she flicked her braid and walked away.

Perhaps having lived again, her mentality had become much younger. She was quick-witted and direct, no longer wanting to be as overthinking and cautious as she was in her previous life.

Looking at Ning Yuan's slender and graceful back, Rong Zhaonan fell silent, his eyes cold and dark.

What about... husband and wife

He never expected to suddenly have another little agent as his wife.

... "interesting" in this otherwise utterly bleak and silent life.

......

Ning Yuan went straight to the village head's door and knocked according to the agreement.

Someone answered in the yard.

In a moment, Lao Zhishu led out a man around thirty years old with an honest face: "Huazi, you drive the tractor to take the Ningzhiqing to the county town to pull pesticides. Be careful on the road."

Hua Zi is the tractor driver in the village. The old party secretary still trusts his son to handle things.

Hua Zi nodded honestly. "Dad, you can rest assured, I'll take care of it."

Isn't it just about applying pesticides and conveniently helping the rural youth find a partner

Níng Yuán smiled and said, "Huázi ge, you've worked hard."

Hua Zi watched Ning Yuan's smiling face and felt that the girl was really nice. Why would she marry Rong Zhao Nan, who was sent to herd cattle

But he was an introvert and didn't like to chat. He just nodded and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to start the tractor."

Hua Zi drove a tractor, with Ning Yuan beside him, chugging all the way to the county town. The villagers watched in bewilderment, but didn't ask any questions.

Ning Yuan sat on the tractor, with a scene of autumn scenery on both sides of the road.

Early autumn in the south is not cold, with green hills and clear waters as ever. A warm wind carries the scent of the fields.

The air is humid and gentle.

The wind blew away those suffocating dusts of past lives from Ning Yuan's heart, and she once again clearly realized—

Everything is not a dream, it's good to be reborn!

Hearing the tractor chugging forward, she closed her eyes, letting the wind blow across her face. She smiled softly, with a hint of melancholy.

After more than an hour, when they arrived at the county town, Hua Zi remembered his father's instructions and first took Ning Yuan to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage license.

The older sister in charge took a sip from her enamel cup, looked at the complete paperwork, and squinted at Ning Yuan and Hua Zi: "What are your names"

Ning Yuan was doing this kind of deception for the first time, and subconsciously clutched her green cloth bag: "Ning Yuan."

Hua Zi also said in a dry, raspy voice: "Rong...... Rong...... Zhao Nan."

The officer glanced at the ID and realized that this "Rong Zhaonan" with a distinctly rural air was actually a demoted official from Beijing.

She immediately frowned in disgust and slammed her fist on the table: "You, a demoted cadre, haven't properly reformed your thoughts, yet you dare to date someone from the educated youth movement How can this be possible"

Hua Zi started sweating, panicking: "....."

I don't know either!

Ning Yuan caught sight of the poster on the wall and had an idea.

She suddenly crossed her arms, one hand on her waist and the other clasped in front of her chest, and said with righteous indignation:

"As a response to the call, and as a knowledge youth who supports the construction of vast rural areas, of course I must set an example and actively lead those younger comrades who have been sent down in their ideological transformation! This is contributing brick and mortar to the construction of our country, isn't there anything wrong with that"

"Then you're still a pretty good person."

Hua Zi: “...” Yeah, he sounds pretty good.

Ning Yuan pressed both hands against the table, leaning halfway over. She stared straight at her elder sister, as if she were ready to report her for every wrong word spoken.

"This is my response to the call, sacrificing myself for others, personally reforming backward elements. What do you say, isn't this spirit of sacrifice and dedication commendable!"

The officer was immediately unnerved by her stare.

Uh... can selflessness still be used like thisit again."Now I wonder what Ning Zhiqing has left to say. She still wants to go to the countryside to support agricultural construction, it's already good enough that she doesn't come here to steal ou...
