The jeep stopped outside the Ruan family's house.
Zhou Chengsen originally wanted to go in and greet Ruan Tang's family, but he was afraid that her grandfather would say something to her.
But Ruan Tang did not allow it and stopped him at the gate: "Are you going to listen to me or not? Am I more important or is my family more important?"
Zhou Chengsen: “…”
"Then I'll go back first, you go to bed early."
Ruan Tang: "That's it?"
“…”
Zhou Chengsen took a step forward, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead: "Come in, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. I'll go back after I see you get home."
Ruan Tang went home contentedly.
Ruan Tang walked into the living room of her home happily. The family members were watching TV or reading newspapers.
Mr. Ruan put down the newspaper and looked at her through his reading glasses: "You came home so late, where have you been?"
Ruan's mother winked at her daughter.
Ruan Tang didn't want to hide it: "Zhou Chengsen and his family came to Beijing. Xiaoyan and I went to the airport to pick them up and had dinner before coming back."
Ruan's mother covered her face. She had told the old man that she was going out to play with Zhang Fuyan. Why was her daughter so obedient?
Old Ruan angrily slammed the newspaper on the table and said, "I don't agree with this marriage. I asked you to break up with him. Now you don't want to listen to me, right? Do you want to disgrace our Ruan family?"
Ruan Tang was also angry and couldn't help but ask: "How did I bring shame to the Ruan family?"
Ruan Lao: "You want to marry a divorced man with a child, isn't that embarrassing? I don't even dare to go out!"
Father Ruan immediately comforted his old father: "Dad, Xiaotang just went out with Xiaoyan to pick him up at the airport. Xiaotang must have made it clear to him tonight."
Father Ruan winked at his daughter.
Ruan Tang: "It is clear."
What Ruan Tang didn't say was that the time for marriage had been made clear.
After all, grandpa is old and in poor health, and I don’t want to make him angry.
When it's done, he'll be able to accept it.
Only then did Mr. Ruan's expression look better.
Ruan's mother immediately said, "It's getting late, Dad, Xiaotang and I will help you go back to your room to rest."
Ruan's mother winked at her daughter.
Grandpa loved her since she was a child, and Ruan Tang stepped forward to support him.
Ruan Lao also softened: "Grandpa is doing this for your own good. Marrying a divorced man with a child is not as easy as you think."
Mother Ruan was afraid that Ruan Tang would not be able to hold back and start arguing with Old Ruan again. They had already argued countless times during the New Year. She hurriedly said, "Dad, Xiaotang has made it clear. She knows."
Ruan Tang agreed: "Yeah, I know."
Of course she knew it wouldn't be easy, because many people would make fun of her privately or in person, but hadn't she ever been laughed at before?
She no longer cared.
It was enough for her to know that she would be happy in the future if she married Zhou Chengsen.
*The next day, the Zhou family got up before dawn.
Today I plan to take the children to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and then visit the Great Wall.
However, at this time, Badaling is the only mature and open section. The others are not open yet, but there are direct buses.
Zhou Chenglei came back from running at six o'clock and said to Jiang Xia, "You don't have to get up. You can stay at home with the children to sleep. It's very cold outside. I'll take them."
When Zhou Chenglei was running, he felt that the weather was a little colder today, probably because a cold wave was coming.
Jiang Xia: "It's OK. We will also take our three children to watch the flag-raising ceremony. We can put them in warm clothes and cover them with a small blanket in the stroller, or carry them on our backs and cover them with a small blanket. This way they won't be cold."
Today’s flag-raising ceremony will be held around seven o’clock, and the children will wake up at seven o’clock, so it’s a good time to watch it.
Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything after hearing this.
At this time, Zhang Rui also drove over.
The family set off without even having breakfast. The courtyard was not far from Tiananmen Square and they could just walk there. After that, they would go home to have breakfast and then take the bus to the Great Wall.
When they set out, Zhang Rui didn't see Zhou Chengsen and asked, "Where's the second brother?"
Zhou Ying: "My dad is going to pick up Sister Ruan!"
Zhou Chengsen just drove to pick up Ruan Tang. He didn't plan to watch the flag-raising ceremony. After picking up Ruan Tang, he would go to the Great Wall with everyone.
Ruan Tang said that Mr. Ruan went out for a walk at 7 o'clock every day and asked Zhou Chengsen to show up after 7:10.
At seven o'clock, the Ruan family sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
Ruan Tang sat at the dining table, glanced at the clock, then looked at his grandfather who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
When the old-fashioned pendulum clock on the wall rang.
Mr. Ruan put down the newspaper and said to the people at the table, "I'm going to go out for a walk."
As long as the weather is good, he will go for morning Tai Chi exercises every morning.
Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Mr. Ruan walked out of the house, before he had gone far, a figure rushed out: "Grandpa!"
When Mr. Ruan saw Feng Bing, his face darkened: "What are you doing here?"
"Today is the day Xiaotang and I get our marriage certificate. I'm going to get it with Ruantang!"
Going crazy again!
Ruan Lao walked back home, "Ruan Tang is not at home, you can go now!"
Just as Mr. Ruan quickly closed the door, Feng Bing rushed forward and pushed him away: "You lied to me! Xiaotang is at home! I saw the light in her room this morning! I have been guarding here the whole time, and she has never left the house!"
Mr. Ruan staggered after being pushed by him.
Feng Bing rushed in, pulled out a small knife from his coat pocket, grabbed Mr. Ruan directly, and put the knife to Mr. Ruan's neck.
Mr. Ruan: “…”
Ruan Tang, Ruan's father and Ruan's mother stood up in fright.
Mother Ruan quickly hugged Ruan Tang.
Father Ruan protected his wife and daughter behind him and said, "A Bing, why are you here? Put down the knife first, and we can talk it out."
No one in the family dared to provoke him.
Feng Bing grabbed Mr. Ruan and said, "I'm here to find Xiaotang to get the certificate."
Feng Bing looked at Ruan Tang: "Xiao Tang, come with me to get the certificate! Otherwise I will kill you!"
Ruan Tang looked at the pendulum clock on the wall and tried to calm herself down: "Put down the knife, and I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you."
Feng Bing was extremely excited: "No! I won't let you go! You lied to me! Are you going or not? Come here quickly, let's get the certificate!"
Ruan Tang watched Feng Bing hold a knife to Ruan Lao's neck, where the carotid artery was.
Can't provoke him! She tried to delay the time: "Have you got your household registration book?"
Feng Bing: "What do you want the household registration book for?"
"You need your household registration book to get the certificate. You don't have it, right? Go back and get it first! Then we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Go back? No! Are you lying to me again? You've lied to me again! Come here right now and get the certificate with me!" Feng Bing got so excited that a blood mark appeared on Mr. Ruan's neck.
Mr. Ruan felt pain but didn't dare to move. If he moved the knife, his neck would be cut!
Ruan Tang looked at the bloodstains on Ruan Lao's neck and said, "I didn't lie to you. You need to register your household registration book to get the certificate. Otherwise, how can the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau register? Didn't anyone tell you that you need a household registration book to get the certificate? If you don't believe me, you can ask other people."
"Yes, my cousin asked for the household registration booklet, so I got it!" Feng Bing seemed to remember something and took out another household registration booklet from his coat: "I got it, I got the household registration booklet! Let's go! Let's go get the certificate!"
Ruan Tang: "I haven't got my household registration book yet! I need it to get the certificate. My household registration book is locked up with my grandfather. Can you let my grandfather get it?" (End of this chapter)
