Chapter 11 A Husband's Duties

Shi Ye has been very busy these days and can no longer follow the numerical dates on the calendar.

That one is more for office workers who are waiting for their salary at the end of the month, everyone is eagerly looking forward to it... and for workers who have to spend the weekend on Saturday.

She has different things to do every day, going back to her husband's house and then back to her parents' house.

After returning to her parents' home, the wedding planning team recorded a live video.

It was too tiring. She had never liked to move too much, and this was completely beyond her endurance.

Add money to get super powers... and choose to add money.

The team brought all their equipment to communicate in person. Although some images were not edited into the final film, the on-site communication allowed the editor to make further revisions, and many other photos were also saved.

Moreover, there were many perspectives that she really didn't see at the time.

…In the video, as her elder brother carried her into the car, her mother’s eyes never left her.

How can I not cry?

People who are loved are always emotional.

She thought that this would probably be the only wedding in her life, so of course she didn't treat it casually.

The wedding ceremony has so much special meaning... She has two large boxes filled with hard drive storage, recorded video DVDs, and photo paper.

If memories fade, then images are reminders and proof of the past.

When she needed to develop the photos displayed at home, she also chose some herself and compared the frames of every size.

The staff will also recommend to her what size is suitable for what place, such as a study, bedside table, or desk.

The photography staff also asked if, in addition to the large group photo of the newlyweds and the elders of both families, which required a larger frame, could they also select some photos of her wearing the main veil and Zhou Junheng.

Shi Ye asked, "Is it necessary?"

The young lady smiled and shook her head, "It's not necessary, we're just suggesting it."

"Mr. Zhou, this photo shows that you are very affectionate and beautiful. Such a beautiful photo would be very pleasing to the eyes in the bedroom."

"Also, wedding photos taken outdoors or in studios don't have the atmosphere of being there, and few people can be as photogenic as Mr. and Mrs. Zhou."

At the same time, he could also hear the girl's compliment, which was both sincere and full of blessings.

She naturally wouldn't refuse, "Thank you."

Then comes the registration of the relevant wedding gifts... During this process, even though Ji Shixu and the housekeeper came to assist, Shi was still forced to personally experience the job of an archivist at the Cultural Relics Administration.

Due to their status, the two families do not accept gifts or money, which makes it easy for those with ulterior motives to exploit them for corruption during sensitive periods.

Everyone gave their own thoughts.

The gifts and their givers were assigned to their respective places, and then sorted into different categories and stored in the storage room of Zhou's mansion.

It sounds simple, but once the number increases, the workload becomes considerable.

The degree of fatigue and physical energy consumed by handling these things at home is no less than running 800 meters in the physical test.

Monday was the day she had to report to the bureau, and she was not nervous at all.

Instead, there was an excitement of finally being free.

She fully understands the tiredness of working at home full-time, so she decided to go to work with pay.

It’s not easy anyway…

Zhou Junheng did not forget that tomorrow was the little girl's registration day.

I asked Zhang Hao to postpone tonight's dinner in advance, but the documents submitted from the secretary's office that needed approval and signature were still as thick as a mountain.

Some temporary things do not happen on time, so we have to work overtime.

When we left the Finance Bureau building again, it was completely dark.

The drive from the bureau to Hezheng Garden takes about 30 minutes. He arrived home 30 minutes after sending the message and the girl replied with an "OK" emoticon.

"I'll warm up the food."

In fact, most of the conversations between the two of them these days have been like this.

The nanny does not live at home, she only comes to cook for the two of them when it is time for meals.

Zhou Junheng's schedule is always busy and he has a lot of things to do. He may not be able to come back for dinner due to temporary business trips, required dinners, or inspections and research.

When encountering these situations, Zhou Junheng would send her a message in advance to tell her that she didn't have to wait for him.

I mostly eat dinner alone these nights.

Shi also felt that if one only looked at the chat records, she and Zhou Junheng, the newlyweds, were more like "dinner partners."

She didn't think it was strange, but just right.

Before her marriage, she did not always live with her parents in Ningfangyuan. When she was a freshman, her brother gave her a large flat in Golden Bay, which was very close to National Tsing Hua University.

She is very accustomed to being alone.

Leaning on the marble countertop in the kitchen, I watched the food slowly turning in the microwave, and the aroma of corn in the stew pot filled the entire kitchen...

She was lost in thought at the time. In fact, she was probably doing these things before she married Zhou Junheng.

Make some of your favorite dishes.

Place it on the cute tableware that you carefully selected, pair it with drinks and fruits... then watch your favorite movie or play some music, and it will be very comfortable.

So there's really no difference.

The oven and microwave stopped automatically at the scheduled time, and I turned off the fire in the stew pot just in time to hear the sound of a car parking outside the yard.

Zhang Hao went to the door to pick up Zhou Junheng, put his bag at the entrance and didn't stay any longer.

Zhou Junheng worked overtime and didn't eat, and I guess others are the same.

When Shi Ye came out, he took the lunch box that the nanny had prepared in the refrigerator from the kitchen and handed it to Zhang Hao.

"Secretary Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful on the road."

Zhang Hao took it and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, ma'am."

Zhou Junheng washed his hands and served the dishes, while also serving him rice.

Although she had already eaten, it was not convenient for her to leave immediately. This was probably the difference from when she was alone before marriage... and it was a little too quiet not to talk.

There are indeed a lot of things going on these two days since I got married, but I don’t have a shortage of topics.

Zhou Junheng first asked her about starting work tomorrow.

"Nervous?"

Tokiya shook his head, "I'm not nervous."

"Well, it's right not to be nervous. It's just a job. Just complete your duties conscientiously. Do you need me to give the director a heads-up?"

Shi Ye's eyes were originally on the man's hand holding the cup of water. It was really long and beautiful. He should have learned piano, right?

Pulling his attention back, he said, "No, I've already told Grandpa and the others that you don't need to ask the leaders to take special care of me."

She took a sip of the warm water in her hand and told him her thoughts.

It wasn't a very formal conversation, just like a normal chat between a couple.

"It's a very ordinary position. If I were to make it special, it would be too obvious... They're hesitant and wary of letting me do some things I should be doing, which doesn't have a good impact."

Shi also added, "If you're really involved, then if I do something well, people will say I'm taking advantage of it, but if I do something bad, they'll definitely complain about it behind my back. The one in Director Zhou's family has no ability at all, so I guess he's just learned to climb up the social ladder~"

The little girl imitated the character perfectly, with her expression written all over her face.

Zhou Junheng felt refreshed, and what she said was really true.

"Okay, then I'll avoid showing up and try to minimize the trouble I cause you."

Tokiya nodded, "Yeah~ on his way."

"That's right. If it's just normal, there's no way to go wrong~"

She is well versed in the doctrine of the mean, also known as the art of fishing in troubled waters.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot down. She might as well not fly. It would be easiest to prevent others from knowing that she is a bird.

"But if you encounter something you can't solve, call me. Director is a public official, but I'm also your husband."

"I have an obligation to solve problems for my wife."

She also knew what he meant, and she naturally appreciated his kindness. Director Zhou was really a responsible husband.

But she didn't think she was special because she felt that Zhou Junheng would be the same no matter who he was engaged to.

Still nodded, "Okay."
