Transmigrating into a Book in the 80s: After Giving Up, I Was Pampered by a Rough Man

Er Gouzi kept his head down, his fingers gripping the ledger tightly.

On that sun-tanned face, tears mixed with ash, leaving two shallow streaks.

He usually runs around fish ponds, duck sheds, and mushroom sheds; he can grit his teeth and bear it even if the sky falls.

But now, when it comes to marriage proposals, he can't even lift his head.

Jiang Mian leaned back on the sofa, looking at the young man in front of her who had grown to 1.7 meters tall.

She didn't respond immediately, nor did she offer any superficial words of comfort.

She knows all too well the rules of this era.

Household registration, family background, work unit, and letter of introduction.

They can outdo others in everything.

The fact that the girl was willing to go to a state-run restaurant with him to eat noodles shows that she has good taste and values ​​his reliability and dependability.

But when it comes to discussing marriage, the woman's parents only need to ask one question: "What name is on the letter of introduction?"

All the dignity that Er Gouzi had painstakingly built up over the years vanished instantly.

Jiang Mian turned her head and exchanged a glance with Lu Ting, who had just come out.

The two of them were inseparable, and Lu Ting understood with just a glance from Jiang Mian.

He placed the teapot steadily on the small tea table, gently tapping the porcelain bottom.

Er Gouzi shrank his neck as soon as he heard the noise.

He thought he would get scolded by his brother for being so useless.

Lu Ting didn't swear.

He picked up an apple from Hong Kong Island from the fruit plate, took a fruit knife, and quickly peeled it clean before handing it to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian took it and took a bite.

Lu Ting dried his hands before walking up to Er Gouzi.

"Raise your head."

Er Gouzi sniffed and quickly raised his face.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes.

His face was tanned dark, but his features had matured, giving him a robust and capable look.

Lu Ting stared at him for two seconds. "You've been working with us for almost a year."

"You haven't touched a single penny of the money in the account."

"So many people outside want to know about the mushroom shed, and you haven't missed a single word."

Lu Ting pointed to the outline of the mountains outside the courtyard.

"Your sister-in-law and I are entrusting the fishpond, duck shed, and those greenhouses on the back hill to you. We can sleep soundly at night."

Er Gouzi stood there, stunned.

He didn't understand why Lu Ting suddenly said these things.

At this moment, Jiang Mian calmly replied.

"So, Er Gouzi is just a nickname given by the villagers because he's easy to raise."

"This name can accompany you to work, but it can't accompany you to a marriage proposal, much less accompany you for a lifetime."

Jiang Mian looked at the boy, her tone gentle but carrying immense weight, making his ears ring.

"If you don't mind, you can take your brother's surname from now on!"

Er Gouzi stood there, stunned, his mouth slightly agape.

Lu Ting stood in front of him, his voice steady.

"From now on, your name will be... Lu Ansheng."

"Live a peaceful and stable life."

(The name Lu Ansheng was provided by Baozi from Chapter 398, "Heading Towards Orange," and received the most likes (❁´◡`❁))

Lu Ansheng.

As soon as those three words were spoken, Er Gouzi's eyes instantly turned red.

In the past, when people asked him which family he belonged to, he could only lower his head and say that he was raised by the team.

He grew up on the charity of many families, was called a bastard, and was kicked in the gut.

During holidays and festivals, while other people's houses were bustling with activity, he could only squat against the wall and eat cold steamed buns.

From today onwards, he can finally stand up straight and say a word.

My surname is Lu!

I have a home now!

The boy's knees buckled, and he was about to kneel down with a thud.

Jiang Mian's brow twitched upon hearing this.

The sound was so solid that she felt pain for him.

Before the boy's head even touched the blue brick ground, Lu Ting had already reached out and grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"Stand up straight." Lu Ting lifted him up with one hand, his strength was frightening.

"Once you have a great name, stand up straight and don't kneel on the ground all the time."

The boy staggered as he was lifted, but he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, but the more he wiped, the more smudged it became.

"elder brother……"

"sister in law……"

Jiang Mian put the apple down, her heart softening slightly.

But she still spoke lightly.

"Why are you crying? Having a name isn't a bad thing."

Lu Ting patted the boy on the shoulder, "Alright, Ansheng, stop crying."

"Go back and take a shower right now. You smell like a duck shed, it's giving me a headache."

The boy was crying when he was suddenly made to sniffle by this remark.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but smile.

Lu Ting checked the time and guessed that Zhao Jianguo should have returned to the county town by now.

He turned around and walked to the landline, then dialed the number for the county party secretary's office.

When the call connected, Lu Ting didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Uncle Zhao, there's something I need your help with."

He briefly explained the situation and then continued speaking.

"Mianmian and I discussed it and decided to give him my surname, Lu, and his formal name: Lu Ansheng."

"Lu Ansheng..." Zhao Jianguo murmured on the other end of the phone.

He then laughed heartily, "Hmm, a very nice name!"

"I've met An Sheng a few times; he's a good kid!"

After praising the game, Zhao Jianguo immediately made the decision, "This can be done."

"Comrade Lu Ansheng is a registered member of the collective household in Hongxing Brigade. The village can issue a certificate, and the civil affairs office can provide supplementary materials."

"Tomorrow I will have the staff from the Civil Affairs Office and the Household Registration Section of the Police Station go to the Hongxing Brigade together, and bring all the forms and official seals."

"Official name, name change registration, and independent household registration can all be done at the same time."

The boy stood to the side, his eyes stinging.

Lu Ting held the microphone and asked another question.

"How should the relationship certificate be written? He's been supported by many families, so someone has to stand up for him when it comes time to propose marriage."

Zhao Jianguo chuckled, "Since I've taken your surname, Lu, then the relationship certificate will be written with you and Jiang Mian as guarantors."

"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother."

"The Red Star Brigade stamped it, and the county kept a record of it; no one could find fault with it."

Lu Ting thought about it and agreed that it made sense. "Then thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"What are you thanking me for?" Zhao Jianguo asked seriously.

"Comrade Lu Ansheng has put in a lot of effort for the foreign exchange earning projects in Tomato County over the past six months. It is only right for the county to support those who work hard."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Ting turned around and looked at Lu Ansheng, who was still standing there like a wooden stake.

"Did you hear me?"

He walked back to the coffee table and handed the warm water to Jiang Mian.

"Once the Civil Affairs Office, the Household Registration Section, and the brigade's certificate arrive tomorrow, the household registration booklet can be processed."

"Don't hunch your shoulders or look down when you go out in the future."

Lu Ansheng's lips moved slightly.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a single, heavy word.

"Um!"

Jiang Mian held the enamel cup and took a sip of warm water.

The journey back from Hong Kong Island was tiring, but this spittle finally calmed me down considerably.

She leaned comfortably against the soft cushions of the rocking chair, smiling as she looked at the young man in front of her who was trembling with excitement.

"We have the name, and the household registration certificate will be ready tomorrow."

"Next, this marriage must be handled perfectly."

Lu Ansheng immediately stood up straight and briefly explained the girl's situation.

The woman's name is Lin Xiaoxue. She is a textile factory worker and is hardworking and reliable.

Jiang Mian nodded, "Since we're getting married, we should build a house of our own."

Lu Ansheng blushed slightly, but still nodded and responded softly.

"Sister-in-law, I've saved quite a bit of money these past few months."

"I've already thought it all out. Once my household registration is approved, I'll ask the village chief for permission to build a land plot. I want to build three large brick houses."
