Chapter 1424 Marriage and Coma
After arranging the work ahead, Lin Hao had some free time again, and things gradually calmed down with the five women.
However, Lin Hao understood that they were all waiting for his explanation, so a few days later, Lin Hao took Tang Qi to the forest farm to get a marriage certificate.
Tang Qi was wearing that bright red wedding dress, the one that Feng Cheng had rejected and thrown away, but which Lin Hao had picked up again.
She sat on a bench in front of the Weichang Civil Affairs Bureau, clutching the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding.
"It's our turn." Seeing that Tang Qi's legs were a little weak when she stood up, Lin Hao took her hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'm here!"
"Mmm!" Tang Qi was excited, and her eyes were red.
The clerk was a middle-aged woman. Before the other party could speak, Lin Hao had all the necessary documents, including his marriage certificate and grain ration certificate.
"You're very well prepared!" The clerk said with a smile, congratulating Lin Hao on his proficiency.
Seeing Tang Qi dressed in a bright red wedding gown, I knew the two of them had made grand preparations, so I let them go and take wedding photos.
At this moment, Lin Hao said with a smile, "Big sister, we have photos, do you think we can use them?"
The clerk took the photo, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "The photo is great! You can use it!"
Lin Hao handed over the photo, which he had taken in advance at Camp One. The background was a snowy forest, and Tang Qi in the photo was wearing this bright red wedding dress.
The official seal was affixed, and the marriage certificate was handed out.
As Tang Qi walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she stood at the door, looking at the two thin "certificates of merit" over and over again, tears streaming down her face.
Then Tang Qi pressed the marriage certificate to her chest, and suddenly laughed, laughing and crying at the same time:
"I never thought I would meet you, but I have been looking forward to it. Only today do I feel like I've been reborn!"
"Don't worry, I've got everything covered!" Lin Hao then went with Tang Qi to buy wedding candy.
When he returned to Bashang, Lin Hao put on some simple makeup and then handed out wedding candies to people he knew at the Forestry Bureau and the Mechanical Forestry Farm.
Then, he invited Zhao Tianshan, Feng Cheng, and several other former members of the advance team, as well as several girls including Qin Xuemei, to have a meal together.
"Come, let me introduce you all. This is my husband, Lin Guodong!"
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Guodong, Tang Qi's husband. Thank you all for taking care of Tang Qi. I work in Weichang County, and I am..."
Afterwards, Lin Hao talked to everyone about the identity he had fabricated, and finally Lin Hao said:
"Although I live in Weichang County most of the year and can't go to the dam often, I fully support Tang Qi's spirit of contributing to the country!"
"So from now on, I'm asking everyone to take good care of Tang Qi in Bashang!"
At this moment, Qin Xuemei, Mengyu, Shen Mengyin, and Ji Xiurong were caught off guard when they saw Tang Qi suddenly marry a stranger.
Because Lin Hao was wearing makeup and had used the Illusionary Reality Technique, they perceived him as a different person, and therefore did not recognize him at this moment.
So in their eyes, what kind of person would say it if he had vowed to never leave Lin Hao just two days ago, but then married someone else just a few days later?
Despite feeling a secret joy, which meant one less competitor, she also understood why Lin Hao hadn't attended the wedding.
After the wedding banquet, Lin Hao got Zhao Tianshan, Feng Cheng, and others drunk, while the other four women left with complicated expressions.
After everyone left, Lin Hao deactivated his skill and wiped off the makeup on his face.
At this moment, Tang Qi carefully folded the bright red wedding dress and put it away.
"Lin Hao!" she called out to Lin Hao.
"Ok?"
"Thank you!"
Lin Hao pulled her into his arms: "No need to thank me, you're my wife now!"
Tang Qi leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I thought I would never have a home in my life."
Lin Hao patted Tang Qi on the back and comforted her, "Home is wherever I am!"
The next day, Qin Xuemei and her three friends found Lin Hao and told him about Tang Qi's marriage, but Lin Hao didn't care at all.
However, not long after the four women left, Shen Mengyin came to find them alone.
On the one hand, she didn't believe that Tang Qi would marry another man, and on the other hand, she was worried that Tang Qi might reveal her relationship with Lin Hao.
"Don't worry!" Lin Hao said with a smile, "She won't tell anyone!"
"Why?" Shen Mengyin asked worriedly, "What if!"
Lin Hao smiled, then turned around, and in Shen Mengyin's eyes, Lin Hao's face changed completely.
"Hello, Comrade Shen Mengyin, I am Lin Guodong, Tang Qi's husband!"
"Ah~!" Shen Mengyin opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Lin Hao kissed her without any hesitation.
······
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and in March the Bashang area began to thaw, making the roads muddy and difficult to travel.
Lin Hao and Shen Mengyin also obtained their marriage certificate and, along with photos, grain ration documents, and other materials, returned to Weichang County.
"Lin...Weiguo?" Shen Mengyin laughed when she called out the name, then said, "I can't pronounce it smoothly!"
"Then let's keep the name Lin Hao." Lin Hao took her bag. "Just be careful in public!"
"It's okay, no one will notice!" Lin Hao said with a smile as he led Shen Mengyin to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities.
The clerk was still the same middle-aged woman. Since Lin Hao had also used the Illusionary Truth Technique, she did not react to Lin Hao's name, Lin Weiguo.
Because in his eyes, Lin Hao is Lin Weiguo, and what she sees is someone else's file.
Following the same procedure as last time, Lin Hao distributed wedding candies to the people at the Mechanical Forestry Farm and invited the advance team to a meal separately.
This time, Qin Xuemei, Meng Yue, and Ji Xiurong felt something was off about Lin Hao, even though he looked like Lin Weiguo.
Shen Mengyin, in particular, looked blissfully happy as she held Lin Weiguo's hand, which made the three of them frown slightly.
Only Tang Qi calmly watched all of this. So when the banquet ended, Qin Xuemei and the other two women approached Tang Qi and asked her about it.
Tang Qi did not answer directly, but told them to ask Lin Hao. However, they couldn't wait until the next day and went to find Lin Hao that night, only to find that they had come up empty-handed.
As for Lin Hao and Shen Mengyin, after seeing off the guests, they closed the door and returned to their bedroom, after all, a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
"Brother Lin!" Shen Mengyin looked at Lin Hao with delight and said, biting her lip.
"Mmm!" Lin Hao also looked at Shen Mengyin affectionately.
"Sometimes I'm scared!" Shen Mengyin said softly.
"I'm afraid all of this is just a dream, afraid that one day I'll wake up and you'll be gone, and all of this will be gone." Lin Hao held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, this isn't a dream. I promise I'll love you for the rest of my life, and never leave you!"
Shen Mengyin's eyes reddened, she nodded, and then used her frail body to press Lin Hao down onto the bed, rendering him unable to move.
That night, she slept soundly for the first time in her little house.
The next day, the three girls, unwilling to give up, came to find Lin Hao early in the morning, but Lin Hao was still not there.
As a result, Tang Qi said that Lin Hao went to Shen Mengyin's house, so the girls went to Shen Mengyin's house together.
When he saw Shen Mengyin with her arm around Lin Hao, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. What was going on?
Shen Mengyin married someone else, but ended up having her wedding night with Lin Hao. What kind of new twist is this?
Lin Hao naturally noticed their confusion, so he performed a magic trick right in front of them, turning himself into Lin Weiguo in a single turn.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Weiguo, and I'm from Chengde. I hope you'll all take good care of me in the future!"
After saying that, Lin Hao transformed back into his original form and then said with a smile, "Did you understand?"
After everyone recovered from their shock, the three women asked incredulously:
"So, the identities of Lin Guodong and Lin Weiguo were actually fake?"
"How can you say it's fake?" Lin Hao smiled, then said confidently:
"Whether it's Lin Guodong or Lin Weiguo, they both have complete identification documents, so how can you say they're fake?"
The three women were speechless, but they also seemed to have a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. Before, they were wondering who Lin Hao would choose, but now they didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Because Lin Hao's choice was naturally: He wanted them all!
However, they are conflicted. Lin Hao could have belonged to them alone, but now they have to share him with five people.
Of course, the most conflicted were Qin Xuemei and Mengyue, while Ji Xiurong was quite decisive.
Anyway, she was determined to marry Lin Hao, and then looked at him expectantly and asked, "Brother Lin, when are you going to marry me?"
"Next month!" Lin Hao said without hesitation, "After the seedlings are planted in the nursery, we'll go to Weichang County to register!"
"Great!" Then she stepped forward and hugged Lin Hao, saying, "Brother Lin, you're so kind!"
······
Lin Hao originally planned to wait a full month before taking Ji Xiurong to get their marriage certificate, but as soon as April arrived, Ji Xiurong couldn't wait to get the certificate with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao thought about it and agreed. The main reason was that large-scale mechanized planting would begin in mid-April, and the nursery's cultivation of fully-grown seedlings could not be delayed for even a moment.
If we have to wait a full month, everyone will be so busy they'll be working like dogs, making the wedding rushed and ultimately counterproductive.
So on April 5th, Lin Hao and Ji Xiurong obtained the necessary certificates, took photos in advance, and went to Weichang County to successfully obtain their marriage certificates.
Everything went smoothly and effortlessly. After returning home, like Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin, she invited everyone to have a meal together.
After the lights were turned off at night, Lin Hao and Ji Xiurong had been busy for half the night. Feeling refreshed, Ji Xiurong lay down next to Lin Hao and suddenly said:
"Brother Lin, I'm so happy today!"
"Me too!" she said, gently stroking Ji Xiurong's pretty face. "What I admire most about you is your courage to love and hate, and your willingness to take responsibility for your actions!"
"Actually, I knew about you and the other girls before. I thought I could only be with you secretly!"
"I never thought I could marry you openly and honestly!" Ji Xiurong said happily, hugging Lin Hao's neck.
Lin Hao put his arm around her and said, "How could I let the woman I love do this secretly? It's just that it's a little unfair to you!"
"I'm not wronged, this is already very good!" Ji Xiurong didn't say anything after that, but just leaned closer to him.
······
The three weddings in succession in Bashang immediately aroused everyone's interest, especially Feng Cheng and Sun Huifen, as well as Zhao Tianshan, who had been trying to conquer the mountain for a long time.
However, judging from Zhao Tianshan's words, Zhang Manling has softened somewhat, at least forgiving him for his careless words back then, and is now just waiting for him to confess his feelings.
As expected, the forest farm entered a busy phase, and even Feng Cheng and Sun Huifen, who originally wanted to get married, had to postpone their wedding.
this day,
At this time, everything in Saihanba was developing in a positive direction. Lin Hao led everyone to expand the nursery again, while also taking care of the saplings that would be planted this year.
The busy period lasted until mid-May, when the mechanized planting finally came to an end, mainly because the nursery had run out of all the light for seedling cultivation.
That day, after Zhao Tianshan finished a meeting at the foot of the dam, he returned to the top of the dam and brought back good news.
"Comrades, when I went to a meeting down to the dam, the leader specifically called me into his office and asked me to convey a message!"
"What news?" everyone asked curiously.
Zhao Tianshan jumped onto the tractor, gave a slight patting motion with his hands, and then continued:
"Our afforestation efforts in the Bashang area, whether through manual planting or mechanized afforestation, have been a great success!"
"Therefore, the higher authorities extend their heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to all our comrades in Saihanba, and at the same time, have entrusted us with an important task!"
"That means we need to select two model workers from our forest farm to serve as members of the Ministry of Forestry's Model Worker Lecture Tour Group, and to give reports to forestry systems across the country, including various forestry colleges!"
"The goal is to encourage more forestry professionals to come to hardship-stricken areas like Saihanba to work and build!"
However, at that moment, Zhao Tianshan, who was speaking excitedly, suddenly felt his body go limp and fell straight off the tractor.
"Help! Captain Zhao has fainted!"
Fortunately, the people below were close by. When they saw Zhao Tianshan about to fall, several men immediately stepped forward and caught him.
Zhang Manling, who was closest to Zhao Tianshan, quickly stepped forward and hugged his head.
"Section Chief Lin, Captain Zhao has fainted!" Lin Hao was not far away, and everyone shouted to him in a panic.
"Old Zhao, how are you?" Lin Hao stepped forward to check and immediately realized that it was a recurrence of an old injury. Lin Hao had seen this plot in the episode summary.
After a quick check, Lin Hao said:
"It's probably too hot. Captain Zhao has a bit of heatstroke. You guys continue working, I'll take him back to the clinic to get checked out!"
As Lin Hao spoke, he picked Zhao Tianshan up and carried him on his back. Then he said to Zhang Manling, who looked worried:
"Zhang Manling, come with me."
"Okay!" Zhang Manling looked at Zhao Tianshan with a worried expression, and then ran with Lin Hao towards the forest farm health station.
After a series of examinations, the doctor was unable to find the cause of the problem.
"Section Chief Lin, is Brother Zhao alright?" Zhang Manling asked with a worried expression after hearing that the doctor couldn't find the cause.
Lin Hao was surprised by the doctor's poor skill level, but he understood that it was indeed difficult to make a diagnosis without various diagnostic equipment.
So Lin Hao stopped pretending and directly reminded him:
"I think I heard Captain Zhao mention before that he had a piece of bomb fragment stuck in his head during the war!"
"Plus, it was too hot today, and Captain Zhao had been traveling a lot, which caused his old injury to flare up?"
