Jiang Ruyu gets into a fight with her cousin from the next room over a job vacancy. She suffers an injury to her forehead but ...
"What has happened this time that has Jiang Lin so angry? It must be something serious, right?" Jiang Ruyu was thoroughly fed up with Jiang Ruyi's relentless provocation.
Old Mrs. Jiang felt the same way. Even though Jiang Ruyi was her granddaughter, she couldn't bear such a commotion. At her age, all she wanted was to see her children and grandchildren live in harmony. Jiang Ruyi's actions were like a knife to her heart.
"I don't know either, you'll have to ask Jiang Lin. Alas, this is a misfortune for our family."
Jiang Ruyu looked at her grandmother's expression and didn't know how to comfort her. Jiang Ruyi had caused trouble again and again, how many times had this happened? She never had a moment of peace.
"Grandma, try to think positively. I have to go out for a bit later, so don't overthink it."
"I know, go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me, I'm just feeling uneasy."
Jiang Ruyu didn't want to ask about this for the time being; it was too upsetting for her, and she still needed to get her marriage certificate.
Zheng Yang rode his bicycle out of the courtyard with his wife, and the neighbors in the alley looked at them with teasing eyes.
"Getting married really makes a difference. Look how good this young couple looks walking together."
"Look at Yangzi's energy level. He must have been very satisfied yesterday."
"Oh dear, Aunt Yang, what are you saying?" Jiang Ruyu's face turned bright red. These old women really dare to say such things.
"Oh dear, the new bride is shy, let's not talk about it anymore."
Zheng Yang also felt that these older women were really too bold: "You can keep chatting, we're leaving now."
Zheng Yang rode away very quickly.
"Look at Yangzi, with his long legs and perky butt, he's definitely got a lot of work to do."
"Hahaha, it's from Changsheng's family, look how scared they are."
Zheng Yang almost slipped when he heard the last sentence. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they got out of the alley; that was terrifying.
Zheng Yang turned to look at his wife, Jiang Ruyu, whose face was still flushed: "Are you alright?"
Jiang Ruyu looked up and saw that Zheng Yang's nose was covered in sweat. The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Let's go, they'll stop talking after a while."
Zheng Yang took his wife to the department store, locked the car, and went inside with her.
Jiang Ruyu and Zheng Yang entered the workplace together, carrying their identification documents and wedding candy.
"Oh, isn't this our bride? What brings her here?"
Jiang Ruyu smiled as she handed out wedding candies: "Shall I get the marriage certificate? We'll go get the marriage certificate later. Come on, everyone, have some wedding candies and share in the joy."
"Alright, happy wedding!"
"Thank you, thank you."
"So this is your boyfriend? He looks really good-looking, you two are a perfect match."
"Oh, you're so sweet-talking. Thank you for the compliment."
Jiang Ruyu went to her counter again: "Master, have some wedding candy. I also have some homemade wine, it's my way of showing my respect to you. This is my boyfriend, Zheng Yang, he works in the transportation team."
Zhang Guisheng chuckled and accepted it: "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. This young man seems familiar, doesn't he?"
Jiang Ruyu and Zheng Yang both recalled the year Zheng Yang brought his blind date to buy things, and Zheng Yang felt a little embarrassed.
"You have such good eyesight, you remember all the things I've bought here before."
Zhang Guisheng laughed: "Haha, not bad, young man, promising. Our Xiao Jiang is beautiful and capable, you have to treat her well."
"Of course, don't worry."
"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy."
"Alright, we're off now, Master."
Jiang Ruyu and Zheng Yang went upstairs to find the director: "Hello, Director, please have some wedding candy. We're here to get our marriage certificate."
Director Wang smiled as he accepted the wedding candy: "Oh my, congratulations on your marriage! This is your partner? He's very nice, looks great, and you two are a good match. Here, let me write you a certificate. Show me your documents."
"Hey, young man, are you from the transport team?"
Director Wang prepared the certificates for Jiang Ruyu and the others, exchanged a few polite words, and then they left.
When they arrived at the transport team, those who weren't on duty saw Captain Zheng Yang arrive with a beautiful female colleague and all gathered around him.
"Captain, is this your wife?"
"Captain Zheng, you're too sharp! Your wife is so beautiful, and you've kept her so well hidden."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we're all from the transport team. Congratulations on your wedding!"
Jiang Ruyu smiled generously and said, "Hello, I am Jiang Ruyu. Come, have some wedding candy and share in the joy."
Zheng Yang laughed smugly and proudly: "Hehe, all you single guys out there, hurry up and catch up! Look at my wife, we're getting married, it feels so good."
"You're being too smug, Captain. You're only married for one day and you're already showing off. That's too much."
"Hmph, deliberately trying to annoy us single people."
Zheng Yang laughed heartily: "Hey, isn't it infuriating? I have a wife and you guys don't."
Zheng Yang grabbed Jiang Ruyu and ran away, leaving behind several young men whose hearts were pierced.
“Look at how smug Captain Zheng is. Can’t I ask my mom to find me a wife too?”
Zheng Yang also obtained a marriage certificate. The two went to the Revolutionary Committee and gave the certificate to the staff at the marriage registration office. After the staff looked at it, two handwritten yellow paper marriage certificates were freshly issued.
After they left the office, Jiang Ruyu carefully examined the marriage certificate.
The marriage certificate is rectangular, just like a notebook, with a red flag on top, a circle of wheat ears and peonies around the edge, and two doves of peace on either side.
"Quickly put it away, you have to keep it safe. With this, I'm officially legally married." Zheng Yang happily folded the two marriage certificates neatly and watched his wife put them into her bag.
Jiang Ruyu turned around and spat, "You can't even speak properly. Go to the photo studio."
They both wore new clothes today. They went into the photo studio and took several photos, sitting and standing as instructed by the photographer. Taking photos was very expensive at this time. A three-inch photo cost seven cents, and it would cost more if they wanted to develop more.
Jiang Ruyu and her partner took four photos, requesting four copies of each. They also gave the negatives to the technician to help them develop the photos, along with the photos Jiang Hui took yesterday.
"These photos will take about twenty days to get. Here is the receipt, please keep them safe."
“Okay, no problem, thank you for your trouble, Master.” Zheng Yang pulled Jiang Ruyu out.
"Wow, that's really expensive. Just a few photos cost almost ten yuan."
Zheng Yang found it somewhat amusing to see his wife looking so distressed; she clearly had a lot of money, yet she was so frugal.
"Let's go buy some pork belly and make dumplings. I wonder how many days Jiang Lin will be home, and whether he'll be able to celebrate the New Year." Jiang Ruyu put away the receipt and thought of Jiang Lin again.
“We can’t control these things, we can only make sure he eats comfortably at home. Make him whatever he likes these next few days so he can take it back with him.” Zheng Yang had no objection to his wife taking care of her family; they were all family.
"Hmm, let's see if we can buy beef later, and maybe a chicken too."
Actually, Zheng Yang really wanted to ask about the letter he wrote when he was a teenager, but for some reason he never asked. Now he felt that he didn't need to ask, and that was fine.
When Jiang Ruyi, who was detained at the police station, saw her father Jiang Jianguo, her inner fear and resentment erupted in an instant.
