Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 897: A Real Married Couple

"I’ll cook tofu; you go and rest."

At the dinner table, the couple laughed and congratulated the two elders.

Li Yunqiao maintained his usual smile, but Hong Lin knew that Dad was happy.

In the evening, Li Yunqiao was a bit excited; after all, this was their wedding night.

He held his wife fondly, feeling in his heart that living with the woman he loved was intoxicating.

Lu Fengzhen suddenly felt something cold on her arm, opened her eyes to glance, and looked at Li Yunqiao in surprise.

"This is for you."

"I don’t work, and we have a clock at home; a watch is useless for me."

"How could it be useless? Someday, I’ll take you shopping for clothes and leather shoes."

Lu Fengzhen shook her head, "I don’t need them; I have plenty of clothes. Shoes too."

"Those are yours; I’ll buy for you in the future."

"No need; we have many kids at home, and we must be thrifty."

Li Yunqiao cherished his wife in his arms, "No need to be thrifty for me."

Lu Fengzhen closed her eyes and stopped talking, really too tired, even though she didn’t work today, she felt emotionally drained.

Li Yunqiao was also exhausted, tightly embracing his wife. However, Lu Fengzhen wasn’t used to it and moved a bit, but found that Li Yunqiao held her tighter, so she abandoned her struggle.

The next day, she still got up at five thirty to cook, this time making wontons for them.

Before leaving, Li Yunqiao told her to come home for lunch.

In the afternoon, they needed to go to the police station to finalize her residence registration, then register at the community office, so they could have supplies next month.

Lu Fengzhen still did the cleaning and carried a basket to the supply and sales cooperative, buying fifty pounds of cabbage, some radishes, and a few green onions. She also bought two large blocks of tofu, although today she couldn’t buy eggs.

She bought two pounds of meat and planned to come daily to buy more; she already checked, and there are still five pounds of food tickets left, which will be used for meat. Gradually, she’d save them up so when the kids returned for New Year, they could enjoy a treat.

When she got home, she placed the meat directly into a jar in the courtyard storeroom, and it would freeze in half a day.

For lunch, the couple cooked two rice portions with sour and spicy cabbage. She made green onion eggs for Li Yunqiao.

"Don’t prepare anything special for me."

"You work hard; you should eat better."

It’s not the first time Lu Fengzhen said this, but each time it made Li Yunqiao happy.

After eating, Li Yunqiao still embraced Lu Fengzhen for a nap.

"If you don’t want to go in the afternoon, just stay home; I can go alone."

"I’ll go with you. I’ll need to go to the community office to collect tickets later, right?"

"Sure. I’m just worried you’ll get cold." Actually, Li Yunqiao worried that at the community office, the gossiping women might say something unpleasant, upsetting Lu Fengzhen.

But this was inevitable, and with him by her side, they would hold back.

After an hour’s nap, the couple got ready and rode to the police station.

With a marriage certificate and proof of relocation, the residence registration was easy.

Thus, Lu Fengzhen’s residence was registered in Li Yunqiao’s household record.

They left the police station and went to the community office with their documents.

"Oh, Vice Mayor Li got married? Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Sister Zhao. Please take good care of my wife in the future," Li Yunqiao said with a smile.

Lu Fengzhen shyly stood beside Li Yunqiao.

"Of course, Lu, right? Come here if you need anything in the future."

"Oh, last time I said it wasn’t any cousin but Vice Mayor Li’s wife."

The couple didn’t respond to her words; after Sister Wang finished speaking, she realized her inappropriate comment, awkwardly smiled, and went back to her work.

Hearing this, Lu Fengzhen was definitely unhappy, but knowing that they were stating facts, she just hung her head.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Sister Zhao swiftly processed the tasks.

"Lu, make sure to come and collect the certificate before the fifth each month."

"Thank you, Sister Zhao," Lu Fengzhen lifted her head and smiled.

"No need to be polite; just come to me if you need anything."

Li Yunqiao said a few more words before the couple left.

"Fengzhen, want to walk around the building?" Li Yunqiao coaxed his emotionally low wife.

"No, do you need anything?"

Li Yunqiao shook his head, "I want to buy you some clothes."

Lu Fengzhen shook her head, "No need. We have cloth tickets; let me make clothes for you and the three kids, or I’ll feel pointless at home."

"Okay, let’s go get some fabric."

The home’s cloth tickets were running low; last time, Li Yunqiao brought over more than ten meters of fabric for his second brother’s family.

But there’s enough to make a suit for Li Yunqiao. However, Li Yunqiao disagreed, insisting it should be for his wife.

"I have new clothes; this year there aren’t many cloth tickets. I’ll make you a suit; you can’t wear shabby clothes to work."

This simple word made Li Yunqiao especially agreeable.

At the building, they got two pieces of fabric and bought two pounds of brown sugar on the first floor, then went home.

With something to keep busy, Lu Fengzhen’s mood greatly improved.

"I’ll use your uniform as a pattern and definitely make it."

"Great. Take this month’s cloth tickets to make clothes for yourself. Don’t prepare for the kids; I took over more than ten meters last time."

"No, let’s save these cloth tickets. Lihong is about to give birth; we’ll need them for the baby."

However, cotton doesn’t need buying; I’ll extend a layer in your cotton clothes."

"This cotton was given by my sister-in-law. She said it was grown by Teacher Jiang, and next year, there will be large-scale cotton planting in the old home."

Upon returning home, Lu Fengzhen took out food tickets asking Li Yunqiao to buy grains.

Being rural folks, they were afraid of hunger; even though there was grain at home, Lu Fengzhen felt it safest to have the food in her house. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"No need to buy flour; if there’s rice, get some, also soy oil is running low."

"Okay, you rest, and I’ll buy the grains."

The news of Li Yunqiao’s marriage reached Liang Caifeng too.

She sat silently in her place. At first, she thought he wouldn’t marry; she knew how much he cared for the kids. It felt like betrayal.

She heard he married a young woman, seventeen years younger than Li Yunqiao, calling him an old rascal. Liang Caifeng felt increasingly aggrieved.

But she kept her senses; she was at work with many people around. Showing anything abnormal might lead to unexpected gossip.

Her current husband couldn’t compare with Li Yunqiao, but she now had a home too. Forget it, she and Li Yunqiao were strangers now, and no words could change that; they both built new families.

"Sister Liang, they say the Vice Mayor’s wife is particularly lovely."

Liang Caifeng smiled, "That’s great." But in her heart, she thought, if she weren’t pretty, Li Yunqiao wouldn’t marry her.
