Chapter 63 Getting the Certificate

Lin Xiangnan sat in the back seat, put his arm around Gu Zhenhua's waist, and asked, "How many days will you take off this time?"

"Ten days in total. It takes one day to go there and back, so I can only stay at home for eight days." Gu Zhenhua asked tentatively: "I want to get the certificate tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I agree. Just come to the hotel and ask for leave before going to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning." Lin Xiangnan said happily, "Then I can take three days of wedding leave."

The marriage application has been submitted and the political review has been passed. Lin Xiangnan is not at all pretentious about this matter.

She poked Gu Zhenhua's waist and said, "I bought you a men's watch. Go back and try it on to see if it fits you."

Gu Zhenhua gave her a ladies' watch, and Lin Xiangnan also wanted to give her a matching gift in return.

"Okay. I'll wear it when I get home."

Gu Zhenhua has seldom received gifts from his family since he was a child. Before he even put on the watch, his heart was warmed. He assured in a low voice: "Don't worry, if you marry me, I won't let you suffer."

"Yeah. I believe you." Lin Xiangnan smiled sweetly.

Because she simply can't bear hardship.

If Gu Zhenhua really makes her suffer, Lin Xiangnan absolutely believes in her running speed. As long as she runs fast enough, the difficulties will not catch up with her.

After getting Lin Xiangnan's affirmative answer, Gu Zhenhua did not make any more promises, but secretly warned himself in his heart: Don't let her down.

The bicycle soon arrived at the door of the house. As soon as Lin Xiangnan got off the bicycle, Hu Meili pulled her aside and whispered to her, "You have no shame. Why did you come back with your arms around someone's waist?"

"We will get the certificate tomorrow."

"Even husband and wife can't do that. I know you young people can't help yourselves, but if you want to take her back to your room, you can hug her secretly. Don't embarrass me in public." Hu Meili said this in a way that was both explosive and ascetic.

Who says the older generation doesn’t have a lot of fun? It’s just that they don’t go out to play.

Lin Xiangnan curled his lips and explained, "Secretly. No one saw it."

Hu Meili poked Lin Xiangnan's arm hard and gave him a warning look.

"I know, I know. I'll pay attention next time."

After teaching Lin Xiangnan a lesson, Hu Meili smiled at Gu Zhenhua again and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Auntie will cook noodles for you."

"He just said he's not hungry." Lin Xiangnan answered helpfully.

"Okay, then you two can talk alone for a while. Mom won't disturb you." Hu Meili slipped away tactfully.

The last time Gu Zhenhua took vacation, he stayed at Gu's house and didn't bring anything back. This time, he brought his passbook with him. He had been in the army for 8 years and had saved a total of 2,000 yuan, which he gave all to Lin Xiangnan.

"The army has food and shelter, and I don't have much to spend money on. Take this money and spend it." As they were about to get the marriage certificate, Gu Zhenhua conscientiously handed over his family assets.

Lin Xiangnan had a lot of savings and was not short of the two thousand yuan, but he still accepted the passbook, then took out the watch he bought and put it on Gu Zhenhua.

Gu Zhenhua was very generous to her and was willing to give her three turns and a ring. Lin Xiangnan was naturally not stingy either and chose the most expensive men's watch in the department store for him.

"It looks good, but... it's too expensive." Although Gu Zhenhua was touched, he looked at Lin Xiangnan seriously and warned: "Whether it is to a man or a child, you can't be too good, otherwise you will spoil them."

This is the psychological trauma caused by his own mother Gu Chouni.

Lin Xiangnan's mouth twitched, "Don't worry, I will treat myself better."

Gu Zhenhua was very pleased, "That's good."

In their family, Gu Fugen and his son Gu Zhenguo, who were spoiled by Gu Chouni, are both losers, while the other children who were left alone have their own abilities.

Gu Zhenhua was not afraid of Lin Xiangnan's eating, drinking and having fun, as he could spend all his monthly salary on Lin Xiangnan. He was just afraid that Lin Xiangnan would be like Gu Chouni, taking care of everything at home and outside, which would really ruin his family.

He would never allow this to happen!

"I've read all the letters you wrote to me before. After two days, I'll go and do some ideological work for my eldest brother and help you vent your anger."

Lin Xiangnan was happy, "I'll go with you then."

Gu Zhenhua can only stay at home for a total of eight days, and he also has to deal with marriage matters, so he is not idle.

The next morning, the two rode their bicycles to get their marriage certificate, and then went to a restaurant to book six tables for a Sunday lunch banquet.

It is inconvenient to make phone calls now, and some relatives and friends still need to be notified in person.

As Hu Meili was taking care of the Hu family, Lin Xiangnan only hired Du Aihong, an old classmate of his from the Housing Management Office, and then left everything else alone.

The banquet was scheduled at the West District Hotel, and Zhang Dapang and the others didn't need Lin Xiangnan to specifically ask for it.

But Zhang Dapang took the initiative to say: "Even if you order dishes for 15 yuan a table, it's still not good enough. Why don't you give me a few pork elbows and I'll show you my skills."

The restaurant has three types of banquets: 7 yuan, 10 yuan, and 15 yuan. But conditions are limited now, and the dishes on the 15 yuan table are all home-cooked dishes, not big dishes.

Lin Xiangnan waved his hand and said, "15 yuan a table is about right."

If Gu Zhenhua hadn't mentioned this, Lin Xiangnan wouldn't have wanted to hold the wedding banquet, as it would have been very troublesome.

I originally thought that after getting the certificate we could be together legally, but I ended up being busy all day and had no idea what I was busy with.

At night, I was finally alone.

While Lin Xiangnan was still hesitating whether to touch his abdominal muscles, Gu Zhenhua directly put her on his lap and held her in his arms.

Sure enough, it’s a sweet and soft ball, very comfortable to hug.

"Ah, be gentle."

Lin Xiangnan felt that her waist was tightly clamped, like a prey tightly grasped by a wild beast, unable to break free. And that hand was too hot, so hot that she unconsciously felt dizzy and wanted to get closer to the bigger heat source.

Feeling the burning breath spraying on his neck, Gu Zhenhua held Lin Xiangnan's hand even tighter.

He touched the face of the person in his arms and pecked her lips lightly, "Be good, keep your voice down later."

The pair of hands that were setting fires all over his body were too arrogant. Lin Xiangnan glared at him aggrievedly and obediently let him torment him for most of the night.

After playing too much at night, Lin Xiangnan couldn't get up the next morning.

Gu Zhenhua had already gotten up and put on her clothes, but she still wrapped herself in the quilt and yawned lazily.

"I'm going to get up and work out. You want to sleep in a little while longer?"

As Gu Zhenhua talked, he buttoned his shirt. Lin Xiangnan's eyes followed his fingers, moving from his abdominal muscles to his Adam's apple. His eyes were meaningful, and when he saw the scratches on his chest, Lin Xiangnan pursed his lips and smiled secretly.

Seeing this, Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows, unbuttoned his buttons one by one, and bent down to rescue the person.

"No, no, no." Lin Xiangnan quickly lifted the quilt and said seriously, "I'm going to get up and have breakfast."
