Chapter 38: Inform
After lunch, Zhao Shengrui cleared the table and washed the dishes. He sat on the kang and talked to his little girl: "Yueyue, I will go and change your age in a moment. As for getting the certificate, I will call the leader to apply for it in a moment. Don't worry, it will be approved soon. There will be no problem with our identities. I will take a leave and come back to get the certificate with you."
When Tang Yue heard that she had to apply for the marriage certificate through her superiors and that her backgrounds had to be investigated, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if there would be any problems with her identity, so she hurriedly asked cautiously, "My parents are soldiers, but my grandfather is a red capitalist, and my grandmother is a lady from a respectable family. Is there any problem?"
"It should be fine. All the red capitalists have funded our party. Does your grandmother know her identity?" Zhao Shengrui was a little worried, but in order to make his little girl less worried, he just comforted her that there was no problem.
"My identity is only known to the grandma next door. She has been a lifelong friend of mine, so she probably won't say anything." Tang Yue was really worried now.
"Yueyue, don't worry, I'll call home later and do it for you, it's okay," Zhao Shengrui comforted the little girl, fearing that she would think too much.
“Give me your household registration documents later, and I’ll change your age to one year older. By the way, I’ll make a phone call and try to get the marriage application approved.” Originally, Zhao Shengrui went directly to the army to apply, but because of the girl’s identity, she had to call home for help. After all, she was just a small battalion commander and didn’t have that much power.
Tang Yue was not in a hurry at first, it didn't matter whether she got married or not, but now it seems that she should get married as soon as possible. Next year will be an even more chaotic year, and the status of her grandparents will be a problem. Zhao Shengrui's family, from his parents to his brother, are all soldiers, and they live in a military compound, which can just protect her. You can say it's selfish, but this marriage should be concluded as soon as possible. Fortunately, the two people love each other.
Tang Yue pretended to take out the ID from the cabinet, but actually took it out from the space. Before handing it to Zhao Shengrui, she still wanted to make it clear to him, "Brother Zhao, you have to think clearly. I'm afraid you will regret it in the future. After all, I don't know if my identity will affect you. I'm so afraid you will regret it in the future."
When Zhao Shengrui heard Tang Yue say these words, he took the ID from the little girl and put it in his pocket, "I'm not afraid of getting implicated by you, I'm afraid that you will implicate me and not give me any chances. I'm very happy to be implicated by you."
Tang Yue listened to what Zhao Shengrui said, feeling happy and sad at the same time, and felt that she had made the right choice.
"I'll make a call later and try to get the certificate tomorrow. I'll return to the team after getting it. You wait for my news at home. If it's too late, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Zhao Shengrui said and left. He wanted to get things done quickly.
Tang Yue never felt that her status was not good. Fortunately, she met Zhao Shengrui. His family status was high enough to settle these things. If it were an ordinary family, they would not know what to do. They just didn't know if they would be implicated. In the past ten years, countless people were sent down. She should try to keep a low profile in the future.
Zhao Shengrui had something on his mind so he walked in a hurry. He reached the post office in an hour and a half. This time he called his father's office directly. The phone rang a few times before someone answered, "Hello, that person."
"Dad, it's me. I have something to ask you."
"You little brat, I rarely see you calling me, what's the matter?" Zhao's father was the commander of the military region and was busy on weekdays. When he saw his usually absent son calling, he knew something must be wrong.
"Dad, I'm dating someone and want to get the marriage certificate tomorrow. Please help me complete the application procedures as soon as possible." Zhao Shengrui felt a little embarrassed.
"You little brat, you want to get the certificate tomorrow, have you made a mistake? I think you deserve a lesson." When Commander Zhao heard his youngest son's words, he had a bad feeling that this little brat must have gotten into trouble.
"Dad, there's no need to trouble you. There's a problem with the woman's identity. I just don't want others to investigate. Just write me a marriage application and sign it for me. I'll take the girl to get the certificate tomorrow." Zhao Shengrui didn't want to trouble his father if he had no other choice.
When Commander Zhao heard about the identity issue, he thought it was a spy or something like that, and said with a serious face: "Tell me clearly what the identity issue is."
"Dad, it's not serious actually. The girl's parents were also soldiers, they just sacrificed their lives. The problem is the identities of the grandparents. One is a red capitalist and the eldest daughter of a capitalist."
When Commander Zhao heard it was an identity issue, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death by this brat, "You brat, you don't speak clearly, your dad was almost scared to death, I will write you an application later, you tomorrow...wait, did you make a mistake, otherwise why are you so anxious to get the certificate tomorrow", Commander Zhao suddenly reacted and was almost tricked by this brat.
"Dad, I didn't make any mistakes, I just couldn't help but make mistakes. It's really not my fault. You haven't seen my wife, otherwise you would definitely understand me." Zhao Shengrui started to tease his father when he heard his father agree to help.
When Commander Zhao heard his youngest son say this, he would have wanted to whip him if he was not around. He has been a naughty boy since he was a child. He thought he had been better in the past two years, but he did not expect him to be still like this. "You have to let us see the girl. Why are you in such a hurry when we haven't even seen her?"
"I've told mom, and she's agreed. She wants me to get married early and give her a granddaughter. I'm afraid the girl will be kidnapped by someone else. You don't know how pretty my wife is. I want to shrink her and put her in my pocket and take her away. I'm really worried about her being alone here. Please help me ask for two more days of leave. I'll take my wife with me. We'll go back to our home in Jingshi first, have a wedding, and then go back to Qingshi." Zhao Shengrui was really worried about the girl being alone here, and he wanted to ask his boss for two more days of leave so that he could take the girl with him when he left.
Commander Zhao was really worried now. Why was his oldest son so obsessed? Commander Zhao loved his youngest son the most. "I'm really sure. I won't regret it. Do you want to think it over again?"
"I have thought it through a long time ago. I will definitely not regret it. I am afraid that a little girl will regret it. She is only in her 16s and not even 17 years old. I am afraid that she will think I am old. Now that she agrees, I will go to my family and ask them to approve it for me. I will call my mother to ask about the betrothal gift later. Although the marriage is rushed, the etiquette must be observed." The old man really didn't know that he was worried. He was still considering it. What a waste of time. By the time he finished considering it, he had already run away.
"The girl is so young, and you, a bad boy, did it to her. Okay, I get it. I'll approve it for you in a minute. Don't let the girl down", and then he hung up the phone. Commander Zhao didn't expect the girl to be so young. She must have been bewitched by her own bad boy's face. After all, his youngest son is really good-looking. He has been chasing after so many girls since he was a child. Even though he scolded him, he still had to write an application for him and get it approved. He shouldn't wait until he really makes a mistake before approving it, as it would be too late to regret it.
Zhao Shengrui hung up the phone and immediately called his mother. Fortunately, his mother was at home and answered the phone as soon as it rang: "Hello, who is this?"
"Mom, it's me, your old son."
"Shengrui, didn't you just make a phone call this morning? What's the matter with you calling me now?"
"Mom, Yueyue and I are going to get the marriage certificate soon. I just want to ask you how much dowry I should give, and what else I need besides the dowry." Zhao Shengrui really didn't understand all this. He never thought that he would meet the person he liked so soon, and now he is not prepared at all.
"You little rascal, why are you getting married so soon? The girl is so young, isn't she not old enough?" Zhao's mother felt that her little rascal was out of touch.
"I'm about to return to the team. I'm worried about her being alone here, so I changed her age. We'll go back to Beijing in two years and have a wedding then. We won't stay here for long, so I'll let her go back to Qing City with me." Zhao Shengrui was also worried about whether the girl was willing to go back to Beijing with him.
"Tell me first, is the little girl pretty? Will she give me a granddaughter?" Zhao's mother was obsessed with looks. Besides that, she wanted a granddaughter. She gave birth to four sons but no daughters. Her previous daughters-in-law gave birth to eight grandsons in total. Now she wanted a granddaughter.
"I will definitely give you a granddaughter. Your daughter-in-law is pretty, so the granddaughter will be even prettier when the time comes." Zhao Shengrui had no choice but to coax his mother first. Looking at his family's genes, who can guarantee the birth of a daughter? Anyway, if the baby is a son, his mother will not refuse it.
"Okay, I heard your promise. If you don't give me a granddaughter, I won't let you go. Who made you promise me? As for the betrothal money, our family gave 888 to your sisters-in-law, and each of them a house. Your wife also needs a house. Fortunately, your grandfather gave your mother so much dowry, otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford a wife. As for the four major items, it depends on your wishes. Your sisters-in-law were also arranged by your brothers. I will only give a betrothal gift of 888 and a house, and you can decide the rest yourself." Mother Zhao felt that she had given enough, and it would not sound good if she told others that she had given too much.
When Zhao Shengrui heard the number, he felt that it was a little too much, but it was not easy to surpass his sisters-in-law. He also wanted to buy a good house, but it was not bad. He would give his passbook to his wife for safekeeping. "Mom, how big is the house and where is it? It shouldn't be too shabby."
"You little bastard, you are slandering your mother. In Houhai, if you move into a courtyard house, your mother will not let you suffer. The best one will definitely be left to my eldest son." Mother Zhao was not angry, because she knew her eldest son's temper very well.
"Thank you, Mom. Please help me pack. If my wife is not used to living in the compound, I will take her to live there. Don't worry, my wife will definitely be filial to you. She is the most well-behaved girl. I won't talk to you for now. I have to go back. I will bring my wife back in two days, and then the whole family will have a meal together." I don't know how thick the filter Zhao Shengrui added to make him feel that his wife is good in every way.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to clean up the house over there and clean up my house at the same time, and then put new bedding and furniture in your room," Zhao's mother said and hung up the phone. She was very busy now, as she was about to meet her daughter-in-law, so she had to clean up the house.
