Chapter 73 The Eve of Getting the Certificate

The conversations in the room were unknown to those outside who were still pouring drinks. When they finally managed to get the men drunk, He Jiadong and the others burst into laughter. “Mom, it’s done, you can come out!” As soon as these words were spoken, the women in the room instantly had black lines across their foreheads. Thankfully, they understood the meaning, otherwise, they would have thought they were doing something illegal!

“We know, don’t shout, don’t you feel ashamed, a bunch of you drinking against two people, it took so long to get them drunk.” “That’s right, you few who aren’t drunk, quickly help carry Cheng’an and the other two to Jiayan’s room.” He Big Uncle looked at his eldest son, who was beaming with pride, and felt a pang of exhaustion. Didn’t he think that his little sister-in-law only lived with two women, if they didn’t help carry them to the room, how would the two of them manage?

 “We know, we’ll go now.” With that, He Jiadong, Shen Weiguo, and the others, who were a little tipsy, paired up and carried the two drunk men to the room next door, where He Jiayan and his brother lived. Watching them leave, He Mu and the others finally started cleaning up the mess on the table. He Grandma and Shen Grandma looked at their husbands, who were enjoying themselves, half-lying on the kang, and were furious.

“Alright, you two, stop lying down, get up, we should go back to rest. Don’t forget that we have things to do tomorrow, if you delay Wanqing’s wedding, you two can just wait to be scolded!” As soon as Shen Grandma finished speaking, He Grandma said with a cold face: “Dare you? If you dare to delay my granddaughter’s wedding, and people talk about it, I’ll make you sleep in the haystacks at the village entrance.” Her cold gaze swept over He Grandpa and Shen Grandpa, and finally landed on He Big Uncle and the others. Seeing them nod readily, she withdrew her cold gaze and turned to leave the room. “Hurry up and go home, don’t delay things tomorrow.”

 The two of them left the main room one after the other, and after giving a few instructions to the people washing dishes in the courtyard, they took their sons and went home. Soon, the dishes were washed, and He Big Aunt, Shen Big Aunt, and the others said goodbye and went home. Only He Jialin and He Jiafu, who were left to watch the house, were lying on the kang in the main room, resting in the smell of alcohol. In the room, He Wanqing, who was about to rest, was interrupted by He Mu, who pushed open the door.

 “Mom, what’s wrong?” Looking at her daughter, who was already drowsy, He Mu went to her and said: “I’ve already taken care of the two ginseng roots for you, me and your grandma. Tomorrow, you take them to the post office and send them. Also, these are the gifts we prepared for them, don’t forget to send them together.” Looking at the red cloth-wrapped things by her mother’s hand, her heart warmed. She sat up straight, reached out to hug her mother, and said: “Mom, thank you.” Thank you for still being alive, thank you for giving me time to save everything. “What are you talking about, I’m your mother, why would you thank me?

Okay, here are the things, take them, I’m going back to rest. Don’t forget to get up early tomorrow, and don’t forget about getting the marriage certificate.” “I know.” Sitting on the kang, watching her mother leave, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the two red cloth packages in front of her. The smaller one with a box was the ginseng, the one without a box was other things. She didn’t reach out to open it, but placed the things at the foot of the kang, and then flashed into the space. She planned to use the processing factory to make a few cured chickens, ducks, and geese and send them over. With these things, it wouldn’t look too abrupt.

She used her spiritual power to grab ten chickens, ducks, and geese, sent them into the processing factory, and pressed the cured meat button, letting it process while she walked towards the courtyard. She hadn’t thought about it when she wasn’t inside, but as soon as she came in, she remembered the two ginseng plants with soil that she had moved out in the evening. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the front yard, she walked towards the backyard. As she reached the corner, she discovered a group of ginseng plants.

My goodness, did the ginseng grow faster? Looking at the group of ginseng plants, the smallest of which were already several years old, she was extremely excited. In the future, if she wanted any medicinal herbs, as long as she found one that could be planted, wouldn’t there be a whole bunch of them? She walked to the thickest ginseng plant and looked at the red string tied around it, further confirming her previous thought. Filled with excitement, she squatted down and reached out to touch the young ginseng seedlings, which were growing strong.

She decided that after she returned from the commune tomorrow, she would go to the mountain and dig up all the things she had discovered in her previous life. Glancing at the group of ginseng plants again, she got up and returned to the processing factory, looking at the cured chickens, ducks, and geese that had already been processed, she placed them on the dining table in the living room before flashing back to the kang to rest.

 He Wanqing, who felt like she had just fallen asleep and was woken up, looked at her mother’s black face and couldn’t help but complain in her heart, but she flattered her on the surface: “Mom, I was just about to get up when you came.” She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and got off the kang. Before her mother could get angry, she rushed out of the room, went to the washbasin stand, and quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. Under her mother’s watchful gaze, she rushed into the kitchen, took two buns, and while eating, she said to Gu Cheng’an, who was splitting firewood: “Let’s go, we’ll go to the commune.”

“Okay! You eat first, I still need to wash my hands, no rush.” Gu Cheng’an glanced at He Mu, who was standing at the door and staring at her, then slowly got up to wash his hands, stalling for time. Shen Yu Niang, who was standing at the door, almost laughed when she saw Gu Cheng’an’s behavior. She was here urging him to hurry to the commune and go to the county, and he was in no hurry. Thinking that she was now a villain, she instantly smiled and turned away. But her feet honestly went to her daughter’s room, helped her take out the things she was going to take, and handed them to Gu Cheng’an, who was pushing the cart: “These are Wanqing’s documents, take them, don’t lose them, you won’t be able to get the marriage certificate. These are the gifts for your parents and grandfather, after you get the marriage certificate, don’t forget to send them.”

Looking at the package, as well as the two documents, Gu Cheng’an reached out to take the two pieces of paper, folded them, and put them in his pocket. As for the red package, he didn’t take it: “Auntie, you don’t need to send the gifts back, keep them for yourselves.” “Take them, inside are two ginseng plants that Wanqing dug up on the mountain yesterday, they’re almost sixty years old. Don’t let her good intentions go to waste, send them back to your family, they should need them.”

 Hearing this, Gu Cheng’an was happy that He Wanqing remembered his family, but he still didn’t reach out to take them: “Since they’re good things, it’s better to give them to He Grandma and the others, and also to Uncle He!”

 “No need, Wanqing said there are more, she’ll go dig them up when she comes back, take them quickly, she’s already finished eating, you two go early and come back early.” Putting the package in his arms, Shen Yu Niang gave them a few instructions and then left with her hoe.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng’an, holding the package, didn’t know whether to put it down or not, he was afraid of making his mother-in-law unhappy. He Wanqing, who had finished a bowl of cornmeal mush and washed her dishes, looked at Gu Cheng’an with a frown: “Stop looking, your family gave so many things, if my family didn’t give anything in return, think about how I would face your parents.” She reached out to take the things from his hand, pushed him out the door, and locked the door with the key.
