Chapter 131 Li Zhengyang finally gets his marriage certificate
Upon hearing Ji Yanjing's instructions, Yuan Tengzhen forced a smile and nodded.
It has to be said that experience matters. Although Ji Yanjing looks quite young, his ability to climb to such a high position shows that his methods and knowledge are top-notch.
To come up with such a wicked plan, it seems the new recruits in the capital aren't having an easy time either.
Having settled the matter with Han Yubin, Zhizhi remembered her serious business and quickly got off the riverbank.
"Dad, wait for me a minute! I have something for Uncle Zhengyang!"
"Slow down!"
"Slow down!"
Jiang Anchao and Ji Yanjing, two grown men, called out to her in unison.
But they could only watch helplessly as the little cub darted into the ward.
Zhizhi pushed open the door to the ward, panting heavily.
When Li Zhengyang saw her, he was so startled that he almost lost his composure; his ears turned bright red.
"Zhizhi, what brings you here?"
"have!"
Seeing Aunt Cuiping's evasive gaze, Zhizhi's smile grew even brighter.
It seems that Aunt Cuiping and Uncle Zhengyang have already expressed their feelings to each other, which makes things easier.
The little cub walked to the bedside and took out a notebook from its little pocket.
"Here you are! Your household registration booklet! You two should hurry up and get your marriage certificate!"
Li Zhengyang was so shocked he almost jumped out of bed. "Holy crap! Zhizhi, you stole my family's household registration book? That's amazing!"
Cuiping raised her hand and tapped him lightly, "You're not fully recovered yet, what are you doing? Lie down properly!"
Li Zhengyang looked guilty and quietly pulled the blanket up to lie down, but the excitement in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"Tell me quickly! How did you steal it? You did something I've always wanted to do but couldn't!"
His mother cherishes the household registration book like it's her lifeblood; he doesn't even know where she hid it.
I never expected that when it comes to getting things done, we have to rely on Zhizhi. Her efficiency is off the charts, just like Commander Jiang's.
It truly proves the saying, "Like father, like daughter!"
Zhizhi proudly puffed out her little chest and explained earnestly, "I just ran into Grandma Li outside. She probably already knows about you two, but she was too embarrassed to give it to you herself, so she passed it on to me~"
Li Zhengyang froze, muttering to himself, "So, she knew all along..."
Cuiping looked at the thin household registration booklet, and for some reason, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
When Li Zhengyang came back for dinner, Grandma Li used the excuse of arguing with Fengmei to shout loudly in the yard. She knew that she was saying those words to them.
Later, Grandma Li humbly asked herself if it was okay not to do it this way.
In fact, she understood very well the hardships that Grandma Li had endured in raising her son alone after losing her husband in middle age. Like herself, she was worried about Li Zhengyang's safety and future prospects.
So she was thinking of giving up at the time.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yang forced her to reveal her true feelings when she was facing a life-or-death situation.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Li actually chose to compromise. In her time, society was not open-minded, and it was considered a laughing stock to tell people that a widow was remarrying her first husband.
But Grandma Li was genuinely willing to help them get together.
She fully understood how much gossip and criticism she would have to endure, and how much determination she would have needed to make.
Seeing her cry, Li Zhengyang panicked.
"Why are you crying again? Don't cry, don't cry, it's a happy occasion!"
With tears in her eyes, Cuiping reached out and took his hand, saying, "You and Grandma Li are both benefactors in my life."
Li Zhengyang shuddered at her touch, and after a long while, he managed a blank smile.
"Sis, Mom still cares about me after all. We're out of trouble now, and from now on, only sweetness will remain..."
Zhizhi reminded them at the right moment, "You can only sleep together if you're married, otherwise you'll be charged with indecent assault."
The child's innocent words completely shattered the somber atmosphere.
Because Li Zhengyang's face had turned bright red, starting from the tips of his ears.
"Zhizhi, that's not what I meant!"
He had no intention of sleeping with his sister right now!
That all happened after we got married!
Zhizhi didn't understand. It's just sleeping, why are they so shy?
"Relax, relax. Anyway, once Uncle Zhengyang recovers, you can get married. Sleeping together is fine; you can just close your eyes and sleep under the covers."
Why are you so shy?
Zhizhi sleeps every day, and she doesn't seem that shy.
Could it be that Uncle Zhengyang grinds his teeth and farts at night?
The little one didn't understand what adults meant by sleeping, which is why he said it so frankly.
Li Zhengyang was overjoyed. “Good, good, good! When your uncle gets married, Zhizhi, you’ll be credited for the best. We’ll book a table for you at a state-run restaurant, and you’ll sit at the head table!”
As expected, after he said that, he received another punch from Cuiping.
The ward was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

As the year draws to a close, the military dependents' compound is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere.
The Li family courtyard was decorated with large and small "double happiness" characters, and firecrackers were going off with deafening noise.
Grandma Li stood at the door, smiling as she watched the people running over to offer their congratulations.
In contrast, the area outside Han Yubin's house appeared much quieter, with the door tightly closed and a faint, bitter medicinal smell emanating from the medicine stove inside.
Fengmei came out to pour water and saw the yard full of firecracker paper, the bright red color of which annoyed her.
She kicked it, her face full of disgust. "Marrying a widow and making such a big fuss about it, I really don't know what's so funny about it. Just marry her and live a quiet life behind closed doors, I really don't understand..."
The guests who were about to enter stopped and looked at Grandma Li when they heard her complaining.
Grandma Li's smile remained unchanged. "Let's go inside and have some wedding candy."
Today is a joyous day, and she doesn't want to get into a fight or make things too ugly.
After welcoming the guests into the living room and seating them, Zhizhi skipped and hopped in as well.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she received a large red envelope personally given to her by Li Zhengyang.
"My little matchmaker, your uncle has found you the biggest one yet. Don't tell your parents, just hide it from them!"
"Alright! May you have a baby soon! May you live a long and happy life together!" Zhizhi said, while secretly turning her head to look at her older sister Suisui.
If you don't look, you'll find Aunt Fengmei leaning against the doorway, scolding the children inside.
"If you're going to wipe the table, wipe it properly. Don't make a mess on the floor. We're not like the neighbors, treating their used rags like treasures. Second-hand is second-hand. No matter how new it looks, it's not the original. What's there to be so delicate about?"
