Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 144: The Sold Daughter 8

Since the daughter said so, Ge Sangen didn’t move out.

His room had a lot of furniture, and moving it to the east room wouldn’t fit. This grain jar couldn’t be placed outside either, as he was afraid someone would steal the grain inside.

"Then we’ll put it in your room, Yuan Chun. Dad only ordered a wardrobe and a chest for you. If there’s anything else you want, let me know, and I’ll go to the village carpenter to have it made for you."

"Dad, make me a set of desk and chair. I want to study."

Ge Sangen grinned, "My daughter really thinks things through. It’s August now, and school starts in half a month. When school begins, I’ll send you there to study."

He then asked, "Daughter, we’re going with the village chief to register your household today. Do you want to change your name?"

"No change of name. I want to take Dad’s surname, Ge." After being called by that name for several generations, Yuan Chun was used to it and didn’t want to change it.

"Ah, good, good, good."

Ge Sangen wasn’t angry that his daughter didn’t want to change her name. He was just happy that she wanted to take his surname, Ge.

In the morning, Qian Xiaoying made chicken soup. Both big chicken legs were given to Yuan Chun to eat. The remaining chicken, Ge Sangen and Qian Xiaoying didn’t have the heart to eat, so Qian Xiaoying put it in a basket and hung it in their well.

The Ge family’s house was built at the foot of the mountain, on the edge of Ge Family Village, over two hundred meters away from the nearest neighbor.

Ge Sangen had no parents since childhood and was an orphan.

In his early life, he often had one meal full and the next hungry. It was Old Man Qian who took pity on him and taught him hunting skills, allowing Ge Sangen to finally have enough to eat.

When Ge Sangen was eighteen, he exchanged his old house’s land for a new one at the foot of the mountain and built three mud-brick houses there.

Because the village well was too far away, and he was too lazy to fetch water, he dug a well at his doorstep, made a lot of earthen bricks, and fenced in his house, vegetable garden, and well to prevent wild animals from the mountain from coming down and causing harm or ruining the garden behind the house.

The Ge family was the only household in the village with its own well, and one of the few with its own yard.

With his hunting skills, he ate meat at every meal and even had spare money. He was also good-looking and had no parents. Whoever married him could be in charge once they entered the house.

Back then, all the unmarried girls in Ge Family Village wanted to marry him.

But Ge Sangen had set his eyes on Qian Xiaoying early on.

However, after marrying, the two didn’t have children for fifteen years, and both the couple and the Qian family were often ridiculed by the villagers.

But things were better now, they had a little girl. Qian Xiaoying and Ge Sangen couldn’t wait to walk the little girl around the village three times, set off firecrackers, give out wedding candy, and hold a celebration.

"San Niang, you’re doing laundry, I’m taking my daughter to register her household."

"Wu Auntie, you’re on your way to work, hahaha, this is my daughter. Her name is Yuan Chun, and I’m registering her household."

"Da Linzi, are you carrying manure? Oh dear, don’t come near my daughter, if she gets any bad smell on her, I won’t be polite with you."

"Yes, yes, this is my daughter Yuan Chun. Yes, the child is a bit thin."

"It’s okay, I’ll let her eat more eggs and she’ll gain weight. Our three old hens lay two eggs a day, and I give them all to my daughter."

...

The couple showed off along the way, smiling non-stop.

When they finally reached the village chief’s house, they still felt it was too short a distance and seemed unsatisfied.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun’s mouth twitched secretly several times.

The old village chief first took the family of three to the commune, registered with the commune director, and then went to the police station for household registration.

After the family of three came out of the police station, Qian Xiaoying had a new household registration booklet in her hand. The couple huddled together, staring at the little girl’s name in the booklet, grinning from ear to ear.
