Chapter 30 Household Registration Transfer
Reading Settings
"Yes, I know that without your help, this matter would not have progressed so smoothly."
Ma Aning said with a face full of gratitude, her eyes very sincere.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Aning carefully took out a large wad of money that she had already counted at home from her pocket.
The money was neatly stacked together. Ma Aning handed the stack of money to the brigade leader and said sincerely, "Uncle Brigade Leader, please check if the amount of money is correct?"
The captain took the money and counted it carefully. His fingers deftly flipped through the banknotes, muttering to himself.
After a while, the captain looked up, smiled and said to Ma Aning, "The number is correct, exactly right."
After saying that, he quickly picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote out a note, and solemnly signed his name. Then, he handed the note to Ma Aning.
Ma Aning happily accepted the note and carefully put it away as if it were a priceless treasure.
At this point, the captain continued, "You told me yesterday that you wanted to get all the relevant certificates sorted out. I happen to be going to town tomorrow on business, so I'll take care of it all for you at once."
"In addition, I will also separate your household registration. This will make it much more convenient to handle various matters in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ma Aning excitedly thanked the captain again: "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Captain."
"Once we've settled into our new home and officially moved in, Uncle Village Chief and Uncle Brigade Leader, you absolutely must come and have a housewarming dinner!" Ma Aning seized the opportunity to extend a warm invitation.
They both agreed with smiles.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Brigade Leader, I'll head back now. It's getting darker and darker."
Ma Aning smiled and spoke softly to the two elders, bowing slightly as a sign of politeness.
Looking at her prominently swollen belly, the village chief was genuinely worried: "How can this be? Aning, it's almost dark. I'm not comfortable letting you walk back by yourself with such a big belly!"
"How about we take you back?" he said, looking at the brigade leader beside him. The brigade leader nodded repeatedly, indicating that he strongly agreed with the village chief's suggestion.
Seeing this, Ma Aning knew that further refusal would only seem pretentious, so she replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you two uncles."
And so, the village chief and the brigade leader accompanied Ma Aning on her way home, one on each side.
The three chatted and laughed along the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at Ma Aning's house.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Brigade Leader, thank you so much for taking me home. It's getting late, you should go back now and not miss dinner."
Ma Aning stood in front of her house and sincerely thanked the two people.
"Alright, Aning, you should go inside and rest. We'll head back now." The village chief smiled and waved to Ma Aning before turning and leaving with the brigade leader.
After watching them walk away, Ma Aning gently pushed open the courtyard gate and entered the courtyard.
At this moment, the other people in the courtyard were chatting. When they saw Ma Aning return, everyone turned their attention to her.
But Ma Aning paid no attention to the curious stares and hurried toward her house.
Qian Daniu stared intently at Ma Aning's figure, "You vixen, all you know is how to spend my son's money."
Ma Aning paused for a moment, then pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.
Arriving at the door, Ma Aning reached out and grasped the doorknob, turning it gently, and the door opened.
"Third sister-in-law, you actually bought that house? Aren't you stupid? With that 200 yuan, you could have built a nice house yourself, why did you buy that dilapidated one?" Qian Ahua said gloatingly.
Ma Aning could no longer pretend not to hear. "Thank you for your concern, Second Sister-in-law. I think that house is very nice. Besides, given our situation, Brother Shan and I can't build one ourselves. Buying a ready-made one will be more convenient."
After Ma Aning finished speaking, she stopped talking and went inside.
At the same time, Shen Zishan, who was sitting in the house, heard the door open and immediately looked up as if by reflex. He did not see his wife come in, but he heard the conversation between the two.
"Wife, you're finally back! How did it go? Did you get everything done? Are you tired?" Shen Zishan sat up from the bed with a nervous expression, looking at Ma Aning with expectant eyes.
"Brother Shan, the house has been bought! Look, here's the receipt!"
With a broad smile, Ma Aning handed the receipt to Shen Zishan, her eyes sparkling with excitement and joy, her voice trembling slightly with emotion.
"The brigade leader said he'll personally go to town tomorrow to help us transfer our household registration! Also, I specifically asked the brigade leader for the property certificate for that house, and they said they'll transfer it to us tomorrow!"
Upon hearing the news, Shen Zishan was overjoyed, his face beaming with happiness: "That's wonderful, my wife! For the past two years, we've been longing to have our own little nest, and now our dream has come true! From now on, we can just close the door and live our own lives."
Ma Aning nodded emphatically and said with great joy, "Yes, yes! I'll take some time to go back to Majiazhuang tomorrow and give my parents the good news."
"By the way, let's ask our two younger brothers to come over and help us tidy up the yard and do some cleaning. That way, we can move into our new house soon!"
The couple sat hand in hand in the room and began to talk enthusiastically about their wonderful dreams and plans for their future new home.
From the living room layout to the bedroom furnishings, every detail is filled with warmth and anticipation.
As they were talking, Ma Aning suddenly heard a rumbling sound from her stomach.
She smiled sheepishly, patted her belly lightly, and said, "Look at my memory! I was so happy that I completely forgot about cooking. Brother Shan, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get something to eat right away."
Shen Zishan looked at his wife tenderly, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Today is a joyous day, with both the division of the family property and the purchase of a house. It deserves a proper celebration!"
"How about this, we just make some noodles and have a simple meal? We just happened to get a few eggs at home!"
"You can fry yourself an egg and nourish your body properly."
"Oh, let's all eat together. It's just one more egg, it's not that precious! We can always buy more eggs. Once we're healthy, we'll have plenty of eggs to eat," Ma Aning replied with a smile.
"Haha, alright, alright, then eat it all!" Shen Zishan's eyes were full of gentle tenderness, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a happy smile.
Just then, a clear and tender child's voice rang out: "Oh, how sweet! How sweet! Mom and Dad have finally separated! When I'm born, I'll work hard to earn lots and lots of money for them, so our family can live a wonderful life!"
It turns out that Shen Xiaoxiao had actually woken up long ago, but had been quietly staying in her mother's belly, silently listening to the warm conversation between her parents.
When Shen Zishan and his wife heard the sounds coming from inside his stomach, they were not surprised or afraid at all, because they were already used to this kind of situation.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and then smiled knowingly at each other.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Aning turned around and carefully took out the bag of flour, and scooped out a large bowl full of snow-white flour.
