Chapter 89 Household Registration



Mr. Chu is a businessman and has met all kinds of people. He can see that Lan An's stepfather is rather reserved. Since he has acknowledged that Lan An is his daughter-in-law, they are now a family.

After thinking about it, Father Chu pulled Uncle Yao aside to talk to him about the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs. He was just a dabbler, but that didn't mean he couldn't talk.

He is the type who can always connect with whatever you say.

Yao Shu was originally a scholar, and these were his strengths. He originally thought that his direct knowledge would be useless here, but he did not expect that people here attached great importance to classical literature. He gradually relaxed in this atmosphere.

As for Anbei, when he saw the two fathers, he ran up to them and hugged their thighs.

"Dad, Daddy." An Bei said softly, "An Bei misses you guys so much!"

Chu Qiuze immediately picked up little Anbei and held him high, while Lan An protected him with a happy smile on his face.

The two elders also learned about An Bei's existence from their eldest son. Anyway, they would not have children in the future, so even if they wanted one, they would have to adopt one. It just so happened that there was already one, and she was so well-behaved, so she could be considered their granddaughter.

Mother Chu can't walk when she sees children. When people reach a certain age, they always want to hold their grandchildren.

As for her two sons, the elder one is devoted to his career, while the younger one likes men.

"Anbei." After chatting with Mother Lan for a while, Mother Chu couldn't hold back her desire to hug her grandson. "Come here and let grandma hug you, okay?"

An Bei's big eyes flickered, and he obviously didn't understand why there were two grandmothers.

Mother Chu also figured it out, "Well... since Anbei already has a grandmother, just call me grandma."

She doesn't care about these titles, they are all her own children after all.

Mother Lan felt very warm-hearted. She had been afraid that Qiu Ze’s family would not be able to accept An Bei.

She also discussed with Brother Yao that if An Bei would affect their relationship, then they would take An Bei back to Dahan and find a safe place to live with An Bei.

When Anbei grows up, let her find two fathers.

But now it seems that they don't have to leave.

This world is still beautiful.

No one would discriminate against second marriages, and no one would look down on women. She and Brother Yao both had some savings, which were still valuable in this world. They only needed to sell a part of them to enjoy their old age.

There's no life like it anywhere else.

Mother Lan pushed Anbei and said, "Go ahead and call grandma."

An Bei was also sensible. He quickly pranced on his short legs and threw himself onto Mother Chu's lap, "Grandma."

Mother Chu smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. "Oh, Anbei is so well behaved. Grandma likes Anbei very much."

An Bei also smiled sweetly and kissed Mother Chu on the face, "An Bei likes Grandma too."

This grandma smells delicious.

Mr. Chu had been chatting with Uncle Yao, but his attention had long been attracted by the little Tuanzi.

Looking at this soft little granddaughter, he would think of his own son when he was little, also a ball like this and chubby.

"Anbei." Father Chu greeted, "I'm your grandpa. Do you want to come over to your place?"

Mr. Chu appeared to be quite pleasant, but he had been in the business world for a long time, and the aura of a superior could not be concealed.

Whenever An Bei saw her grandfather, she would always think of the emperor uncle in the palace.

It feels so big and scary.

An Bei curled up in Mother Chu's arms, refusing to move.

Mr. Chu paused when he stretched out his hands, and then withdrew his hands with a bit of embarrassment.

Uncle Yao was also smart, and he teased, "Except for Anbei's two fathers, no one else wants to get close to her. Even I haven't been able to hold her in my arms!"

Father Chu felt much better after hearing this. He also thought about how in ancient times people really attached great importance to the separation between men and women. No matter how young a woman was, she would not be willing to be held by a man.

But this is the 21st century.

An Bei is less than four years old. Father Chu is thinking of buying some small gifts for his granddaughter tomorrow so that he can always get her in his arms.

"Mom and Dad, Mom Lan and Uncle Yao." Chu Qiuze checked the time. "I've booked a hotel. Let's go out for dinner."

This parent-teacher meeting dinner was quite enjoyable.

It can be regarded as accepting this relative.

After all, Mother Lan had been in the palace for too long and was not very willing to participate in such conversations, but that did not prevent her from shed tears at the sight.

Immediately, she glanced at her brother Yao.

Her brother Yao just came yesterday. He had a fever in the morning, but now he is back to being energetic.

Where can you compare to the medical conditions here?

In this vast country, the average life expectancy is only 50 to 60 years old, but there are many octogenarians here.

She had also seen in the community an old man with gray hair, walking with a crutch in one hand and holding his great-grandson for a walk with the other.

She and Brother Yao have missed each other for thirty years. She wants to live a few more years and grow old with Brother Yao.

Brother Yao had promised her before that wherever she was, Brother Yao would be there.

The dinner is almost over.

Mother Lan finally made her decision: "Qiu Ze, An'er, Brother Yao and I both want to stay in this world. You are busy, so just leave An Bei to us."

Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze were delighted. This was the best outcome.

They had thought before that if Mother Lan and Uncle Yao were unwilling to leave their hometown, then they would have to find a suitable place to settle them in Dahan.

Now the family is reunited and there won't be any more accidents in the future.

Chu Qiuze suddenly felt a little sour in his nose. How come all the good things happened today?

My parents accepted Lan An, and Lan An’s biological mother and stepfather were also willing to stay.

Father and Mother Chu were also happy with this result. Lan An's family members were all in the modern world, so he would not dare to let Qiu Ze down when he was in Dahan.

Although Mr. Chu had retired, he still had connections. The next day he contacted some old partners and arranged the household registration for Lan An's family.

Although I don't know how he did it, on the third day, they set out together to take photos and apply for identity cards.

The staff didn't ask any questions during the whole process, it seemed like I was greeted.

Everything went smoothly.

Lan An took his family's household registration book and read it over and over again. From now on, he was just an ordinary citizen in this world and could enjoy all the benefits of this country.

Chu Qiuze was also very happy to see this. He had finally brought the Regent back.

"Oh, right." Chu Qiuze suddenly pointed at Lan An's household registration book, "Mother Lan and Uncle Yao's relationship is directly registered as husband and wife, so they still need to apply for a marriage certificate."

Lan An was stunned at first, then relieved. Isn't this what should be done?

From just these few brief days of contact, he could feel that Uncle Yao treated his mother sincerely.

And his mother has been smiling more often these days.

When we were registering, the staff simply asked us what our relationship was.

And his mother also said in person that she and Uncle Yao were husband and wife.

Although the staff member found it a bit strange that Lan An and Uncle Yao had different surnames, he just thought they were remarriages.

He didn't show any strange expression, he just sighed at how good-looking this family was.

Lan An also heard it at the time and did not object. Wasn't this a matter of time?

So, they got a household registration booklet, turned around, and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to ask Mother Lan and Uncle Yao to get a marriage certificate.

Chu Qiuze watched with envy from the side. China has not yet passed the same-sex marriage law, so he and Lan An are destined to not have a marriage certificate.

But, love cannot be measured by a certificate. I just feel it’s a pity to some extent.

Lan An had learned so much modern knowledge, so he naturally knew this. He held Chu Qiuze's hand and said, "Let's go back to Dahan some other day and register and write the marriage certificate."

Yes, Dahan does not have any rules prohibiting same-sex marriage.

Among the common people, when two men come together, they form a covenant.

But he and Chu Qiuze were going to be a normal couple.

As a regent, he wanted to get a marriage certificate, which was something he could do.

Chu Qiu Ze smiled, not caring that there were people around him, he stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Lan An's lips.

"Okay, let's go back to Dahan to get married."

Today, Lan An has been able to calmly accept being intimate in public, although she is still somewhat uncomfortable with it.

But he always looked at his beloved with a doting look on his face.

After finishing the things here, it was just the Chinese New Year.

Since Lan An was still in the "mourning period", the emperor also allowed Lan An to only show up at the state banquet on New Year's Eve and did not have to stay in the palace to observe the New Year's Eve.

Of course, Chu Qiuze also went there.

He is not only Dahan's idol, but also the prince's master, so it is reasonable for him to attend.

It was Chu Qiu Ze’s first time attending such a royal banquet and he found it quite novel, at least much more novel than what was shown on TV.

Princes and ministers also have to attend such state banquets.

From a distance, they were just thinking about how to get close to this male god.

But the relationship between this male god and the prince has long been no secret in Dahan, and they are a little afraid of the regent.

Chu Qiuze soon discovered it, "Husband, why are they looking at us furtively?"

Lan An laughed, "Two days ago, those daily necessities were already on the market, and the first batch was snapped up by these people."

This is inevitable. In this society, if there is something new and good, the rich and powerful will have priority in owning it.

Chu Qiuze suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had received so much gratitude points in the past few days.

Lan An added: "Look at those generals. The weapons they made with your recipes have already been put into use. The method of suturing wounds has also been popularized in the army. They want to thank you."

Lan An pointed in another direction, "There are civil officials there. The improvement of papermaking technology has reduced costs and also cut down on the selling price. They are naturally happy. In this way, there will be more and more scholars in the world, not to mention the schools that will open after the new year."

Chu Qiuze's heart was filled with excitement. To be honest, his original intention of doing these things was to collect gratitude points, but he never thought about the significance of these things to Dahan.

He held Lan An's hand and said, "Next year, I will definitely take Da Han's development to a higher level."

Lan An raised his glass and clinked it with his, "I'll accompany you."

The two were still thinking about returning to modern times to celebrate the New Year with their parents and family, but after not staying for long, they decided to leave.

Of course, in order not to disappoint these ministers, Chu Qiuze took the initiative to greet them and say a few words of greeting before leaving.

These ministers really didn't expect that their idol would take the initiative to greet them. They were so enthusiastic for a moment that they almost wanted to keep Chu Qiu Ze.

If Lan Euan hadn't been watching coldly from the side.

The two of them walked out of the hall and slowly staggered out of the palace.

There were many people and a lot of gossip at the palace banquet, so he and Lan An had no intention of disappearing directly in the hall to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

The winter in Dahan is cold, but the two people's tightly clasped hands are warm.

"My dear husband, it's snowing." Chu Qiuze stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, and said with emotion: "I hope the auspicious snow will herald a good harvest!"
