When it was ten o'clock, a man looked at the watch on his wrist and found that he could hardly open his eyes.

"It's ten o'clock, let's retreat!"

The sound of rain outside had become a little quieter, and everyone at the table dispersed.

Although he hadn't slept for more than 20 hours, Zhong Chengren was very excited.

When he returned home, he saw Meng Wanshu was already asleep.

He didn't even take a shower. He walked over, hugged Meng Wanshu and gave her a big kiss, which woke her up.

As soon as Meng Wanshu opened her eyes, she smelled the strong smell of cigarettes coming from Zhong Chengren. She was immediately disgusted: "You stink! Go change your clothes and take a shower!"

"Don't go to bed without a shower!"

As she spoke, she started to curse again: "You haven't been in a hurry all day, why are you back so early today?"

She didn't even know that Zhong Chengren didn't come back during the day. She just thought that Zhong Chengren came back after she went to work, took a nap, and then continued to play cards before she got off work.

After all, this kind of thing happened frequently in the past.

Zhong Chengren just chuckled and didn't answer the question: "Wan Shu, take a day off tomorrow and let's go to the county town to buy a gold bracelet!"

He rubbed his hands again and said, "How about we take a photo and get the marriage certificate then?"

Meng Wanshu was stunned: "Ah? Get a marriage certificate? Are you crazy..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhong Chengren took out a large sum of money: "What's the matter, are you worried that I don't have money? I have plenty of money now!"

He has won almost five hundred during this period! This is five hundred!

Meng Wanshu was also stunned when she saw the huge amount of money: "You won so much?"

"How is it?" Zhong Chengren was even more proud. "Didn't you always say I was useless? How could I make so much money if I was useless?"

He put the money into his pocket again and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll take you to the county town tomorrow!"

Meng Wanshu looked at his back and lay down again.

To be honest, she is still a little hesitant about getting married.

But in fact, she now lives alone with Zhong Chengren. Not to mention her colleagues, even her parents assume that she and Zhong Chengren are married.

Now it’s just a formality, just getting a certificate.

Meng Wanshu let out a breath.

Just get the marriage certificate! After all, the big gold bracelet is more important.

What if she doesn’t agree and Zhong Chengren doesn’t buy it for her?

The next day when Zhong Chengren woke up, it was already past nine in the morning and the sky had cleared up.

It rained heavily all day yesterday and the ground was a bit muddy.

After a late breakfast, Zhong Chengren borrowed a bicycle and took Meng Wanshu to the county town.

However, the heavy rain the day before had caused the road to be swollen and there was mud everywhere. The bicycle wheels were covered with yellow mud after just a short ride, and more mud spots were splashed onto Meng Wanshu's pants, making her so angry that she beat Zhong Chengren violently.

After walking for a while, the two of them had to stop and wipe the yellow mud off the wheels, otherwise the wheels would not turn.

It was already noon when the two arrived at the county.

Zhong Chengren waved his hand, and the two went to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal, and then began to wander around the county.

Meng Wanshu was thinking about the big gold bracelet, but Zhong Chengren was thinking about taking pictures first.

So the two of them went to the photo studio first and took a three-inch black and white photo.

The photo studio owner asked them to come back five days later to pick it up, so the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Zhong Chengren was rich and generous, so he took Meng Wanshu on a shopping spree.

It is autumn now, and the supply and marketing cooperative has also stocked some new clothes. Thinking that they will have to get a marriage certificate soon, Zhong Chengren bought Meng Wanshu a long-sleeved coat and a pair of small leather shoes.

He thought he could earn the money back in a few days, so he really spent it like water.

Meng Wanshu was very satisfied with Zhong Chengren's understanding. After they bought clothes and shoes, and even some wedding candies, they turned to buy gold bracelets.

Meng Wanshu picked and chose at the gold jewelry counter and finally chose a gold bracelet worth 258 yuan.

She knew that the price was a bit high, so after choosing it, she looked at Zhong Chengren with loving eyes.

"Seijin, I like this... How is it? Is it good?"

"It's good, but a little pricey..." Zhong Chengren sighed, "Two hundred and fifty-eight... Can't you just look at something cheaper?"

Meng Wanshu's heart sank, but she softened her tone again: "But I just like this...Aren't we getting married? I don't want any other gifts, I just want this..."

Meng Wanshu had said so, what else could Zhong Chengren say? He could only touch his head and say: "This is it! I'll earn more in a few days!"

A big smile immediately appeared on Meng Wanshu's face: "I knew you were the best!"

Although Zhong Chengren inevitably felt a little sad, he was still a little excited when he thought that he would be marrying Meng Wanshu soon.

Even though the two have lived together for a long time, Zhong Chengren still attaches great importance to the sense of ceremony.

After buying the gold bracelet, Meng Wanshu immediately put it on her hand, looked at it over and over again, and felt very happy.

I like it. I like it very much.

Look at this heavy gold, this weight that weighs down your hand...

If there weren't so many people outside, Meng Wanshu would have wanted to kiss Zhong Chengren on the face.

At this time, Zhang Chunxue also arrived at the intersection outside the supply and marketing cooperative.

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, she didn't come out to set up the stall, so when she came today, many people gathered around her.

"Oh! Auntie, you're finally here!" The young man who was the first to eat crabs a few days ago was so moved by Zhang Chunxue that he almost burst into tears, as if he had seen a long-lost relative. "Why didn't you come yesterday?"

"Wasn't it raining heavily yesterday? I can't come here!" Zhang Chunxue said with a smile and quickly set up her stall.

"Then give me a bowl of luzhu first!" The young man touched his stomach, "I've been strolling around today, waiting for you to come so I can be the first to eat it!"

"Okay!" Zhang Chunxue quickly served him a bowl.

Other guests also rushed in.

"Give me a pig's tail!"

"Weigh me half a pound of vegetables! Give me some of everything!"

"I want a bowl of luzhu too!"

"Are you coming tomorrow, sister? If you don't come tomorrow, I'll buy more today..."

Just at this time, Zhong Chengren and Meng Wanshu came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and were curious to see so many people gathered here.

"What are you selling?" Zhong Chengren stopped someone and asked.

“Selling braised food!”

Zhong Chengren immediately became interested: "Oh! Wan Shu, you like braised food, I'll go buy some for you!"
