Chapter 15 Coincidence Huh? His father's old boss also has the surname Yao? Coincidentally...
Yao Zhizhi got up very early.
Today is a good day for Yao Mengmeng and Liu Hongwei to get their marriage certificate, and the wedding will be held tomorrow.
Liu Hongwei came early in the morning, wearing a snow-white shirt, navy blue trousers, and his hair was combed meticulously, looking exceptionally handsome.
He rode his eldest brother's bicycle, stopped at the door, and greeted Yao Zhizhi: "Fifth sister, good morning. I heard from your fourth sister that it was you who gave me the plane ticket for sewing. Thank you. I will pay you back when I have enough money."
"No need." Yao Zhizhi has a good schedule, going to bed early and getting up early every day. Now she is sitting in the yard weaving baskets.
It is already the height of summer in June, and even in the morning, there is a faint heat in the air.
She rolled up the long sleeves of her shirt, her hands moving quickly. Hearing this, she looked up at Liu Hongwei.
It’s okay, he has a standard square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a down-to-earth person.
At this moment, he was leaning against the pomegranate tree, counting the unripe fruits on the tree out of boredom.
Yao Zhizhi does stupid things like this every day.
There's no way around it. There's a lack of entertainment these days, and it's very boring when I'm working.
When I take a break, I use the flowers and plants in the yard to relieve my loneliness.
She continued to work on her own things and asked casually, "Are they thirty-seven pomegranates?"
"No, thirty-nine." After Liu Hongwei finished counting, he turned his head to look at the loquat tree next to him.
Yao Zhizhi felt that her brother-in-law had a good personality. He knew how to pass the time on his own, never rushed Yao Mengmeng, and was very patient.
Soon, Yao Mengmeng jumped out of the house like a happy lark.
She wore a peach pink shirt, navy blue trousers, and had her pigtails combed into a smooth and sleek style. She ran towards the gate of the courtyard with a smile on her face, holding her household registration book.
Yao Zhizhi didn't know what the legal marriage age was these days, so she quickly asked, "Fourth sister, are you old enough?"
"Not yet, you have to be 20 years old. But we both reported our ages a little older in our household registration books, don't you remember?" Yao Mengmeng was a little surprised. She stopped in front of Yao Zhizhi and looked at her in surprise.
Yao Zhizhi really didn't remember, and the original body didn't give her any memories.
But she had a ready-made excuse: "My brain burned out last time. Are you saying that the age on the household registration book is fake?"
"Yes, to save trouble, our parents wanted us to go to school with our third sister, so they registered us as the same age. So according to the household registration book, we are both twenty this year." Yao Mengmeng was afraid she wouldn't believe it, so she opened the household registration book. "Look, look, our third sister's birthday is after July, so her real age is twenty-one. We registered before July, so we are twenty years old, so we can go to school in the same year as her."
Yao Zhizhi really didn't know about this, so she quickly took it and took a look.
It’s really twenty.
She didn't care that she was suddenly two years older, she was just curious, is it so easy to register your household registration these days?
Whatever size you want, just report it.
Yao Mengmeng nodded. "Yeah, let's not talk about anything else. Just look at our great-grandson's age change, just for the sake of getting married. No one said anything."
Four years old! So casual! Yao Zhizhi couldn't understand: "Then he got married at sixteen? He's not even an adult yet, right?"
"What? The legal marriage age for boys is 22. He got married at the age of 18." Yao Mengmeng didn't expect that Lao Wu didn't even remember this. Oh, how pitiful. It must be because of the high fever.
She was really going too far. She had wrongly accused Lao Wu a while ago and even framed him...
Thinking of this, Yao Mengmeng felt very uncomfortable. She held Yao Zhizhi's shoulders with both hands, wanting to make amends to her sister: "Zhizhi, if there is anything you don't remember, you can ask me. I will come back to talk to you in detail."
"Well, go quickly, your brother-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time." Yao Zhizhi didn't like someone pressing on her shoulders in a sticky way, so she pushed him away rudely.
Yao Mengmeng pouted in grievance, stood up and jumped into the back seat of Liu Hongwei's car: "Hongwei, Zhizhi is doing well. I can't bear to let her go to the city to get married."
"Did she really get married in the city?" Liu Hongwei had heard something about it in the past few days.
I thought it was just Yao Erdan's vanity that was causing him to brag.
Didn’t expect it to be true?
He was very worried: "Mengmeng, do you want to persuade her? Qi Dafeiou is not my type. City people look down on us country people. She is a country girl, she will be bullied if she marries him."
"No, her mother-in-law is a police officer. How could she bully her daughter-in-law?" Yao Mengmeng was not worried about this.
She was only worried that her future brother-in-law wouldn't live long.
Liu Hongwei was obviously a little surprised: "I'm going to be a police officer's daughter-in-law!"
"Yes, from the Nancheng Police Station. If you don't believe me, forget it." Yao Mengmeng didn't envy Lao Wu, she was just sad. Once Lao Wu got married, there would be one less person in the family who treated her so sincerely.
Moreover, once the fifth sister gets married, the other sisters will follow soon.
Alas, we have been together since childhood and grown up together, but in the end, we have to go to other families because of marriage. It’s so unfair when you think about it.
I couldn't help but mutter, "They're both getting married, so why does the man's family have one more person, but the woman's family has one less person?"
"It has always been like this, I can't really explain it." Liu Hongwei actually knew what was going on, but as a son-in-law, he should refrain from standing up for the weak.
In the entire Yao family, he is the only one with the lowest social status.
This world looks down on women, and even more so on live-in sons-in-law.
But he was very open-minded. He was already so old, and if he continued to delay it would hurt himself and others. It would be better to settle the matter quickly while he was in his early twenties.
Besides, Yao Mengmeng is beautiful. Although she is a little inferior to her sisters, she is still a famous beauty in the entire commune.
Among the five daughters of the Yao family, only Yao Ningning is a little ordinary, with a delicate and pretty appearance, a pretty good girl in fact.
So it’s not that Yao Ningning is not good-looking, but that the other four are too outstanding, especially the fifth one.
Thinking of this, Liu Hongwei became a little curious: "By the way, don't you think it's strange? Fifth sister is actually whiter than the four of you."
"She doesn't go out much, so it's normal for her skin to be a little whiter." Yao Mengmeng was too carefree to think of any other possibilities.
Liu Hongwei suddenly realized: "That's true. I saw her sitting under the shade of the tree early in the morning. Does she need to use an umbrella when she goes out?"
"Not really." With the conditions of the Yao family, having two umbrellas was considered a luxury, so how could they possibly need a parasol? Yao Mengmeng thought he was talking nonsense.
Liu Hongwei smiled awkwardly: "That's right, you still have a son named Genbao at home, so you can't afford such a good umbrella."
"Yes, fortunately Genbao was adopted out." Yao Mengmeng hugged his waist and hesitated for a long time. She was not going to give him any warning about the wedding. After all, her elder sister had not agreed yet.
It is still unknown whether Lao Wu’s plan can succeed.
After getting the certificate, Yao Mengmeng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick out some hair ornaments for her sisters. The one for Yao Zhizhi was the best, made from the leftover material from cutting a piece of silk.
She touched it again and again, unable to let it go: "This can be used to tie a bow on Lao Wu. She is fair and it will definitely look good."
Liu Hongwei had no objection and asked her to buy one for herself as well.
"I can't. I'll buy it after I come here to work and make some money." Although Yao Mengmeng took over the job, she was preparing to get married recently, so she asked Yao Taotao to take over the position temporarily.
Yao Taotao is helping unload goods at the back right now and has no time to come over.
After paying the money, the two returned to Yaowangzhuang, got their marriage certificate, and became legally husband and wife.
Although you need to pay attention to the impact outside, it is not necessary to do so in the yard.
Liu Hongwei parked the car, chased her into the room, hugged her and kissed her.
"Which room is the wedding room?" Liu Hongwei looked around, not quite understanding the layout of her house.
Yao Mengmeng pointed to the room on the west side facing south. "This was originally where Genbao slept, but it was snatched away by Zhizhi. Now that we're getting married, she's giving it up. Starting tonight, she'll be sleeping in the north room with Third Sister."
"Fifth sister is so nice." Liu Hongwei subconsciously glanced at the busy bee girl in the yard, "Last time you said, it was she who asked you to come find me?"
"That's right." Yao Mengmeng now liked Lao Wu more and more, and couldn't help but praise him, "My Lao Wu has good taste, otherwise no one in the city would be interested in her! She's pretty and smart. She's even capable of getting a sewing plane ticket. She's the pillar of the family!"
Liu Hongwei smiled and put his arm around her waist: "You like her so much, then you will cry your eyes out when she gets married."
"I am..." Yao Mengmeng, who was used to denying, almost said no.
Stop it right now.
Oh, her mouth is always faster than her brain. She needs to change that. Lao Wu talked about her a few days ago.
Nestled on Liu Hongwei's shoulder, Yao Mengmeng sighed, "I suddenly don't want to grow up anymore."
Yes, all kinds of worries come when you grow up.
Yao Mengmeng sighed for a long time, then remembered that she had something important to do. She quickly pulled Liu Hongwei into the south room and said, "Come on, your handwriting is beautiful. Help me write a letter."
"What to write?" Liu Hongwei knew that the Yao family had many relatives, but he didn't like gossip and didn't ask specifically.
Maybe it was written to a member of the Yao family from another place?
It’s true.
Yao Mengmeng found a half-smoked cigarette butt from the drawer and handed it to him: "Write, recipient, Yao Jingzong, the address is above. I have to tell him, I'm getting married. He's the most promising elder in our Yao family. Even if he has an average relationship with my family, I have to do my best to show my courtesy."
"Okay, I'll write it." Liu Hongwei sat down, took the ballpoint pen, and spread out the letter paper. "What's your name? Uncle or uncle?"
"Uncle, he has a daughter whose birthday is just one day away from the fifth brother's. Maybe he will come back when the fifth brother gets married, but I don't count on it." Yao Mengmeng knew that Uncle Jingzong looked down on her family, and he might not be willing to show his favor to the fifth brother when he got married.
At the same time, Qi Changxiao was basking in the sun in the yard, not knowing whether the method the old Chinese doctor said was really useful.
He felt dizzy from the sun and couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and went into the house to cool off.
Hearing the sound of paper being torn, he curiously went to his mother's room to take a look: "Writing a letter, Mom?"
Tang Fengyuan didn't even look up as he wrote furiously, "Yes, you're getting married soon, shouldn't you inform your uncle and aunt? Even if they can't make it back in time, they still have to be courteous. And your father's comrades-in-arms and that old leader, well, I wonder if they'd be so kind as to come over for a drink."
Qi Changxiao didn't care and went back to his room.
Just as he lay down and took a nap, Tang Fengyuan threw five letters on him: "Son, I'm going out for a walk this afternoon and help me mail the letters. I have something else to do at the office, so I can't keep up!"
Qi Changxiao responded and read all five letters.
He recognized the other four.
The final recipient of the letter was his father’s old leader, Yao Jingzong.
Hey, your surname is also Yao?
Is it a coincidence?
