After lunch, Zhou Xiang set off with the household registration book she asked her mother for. The documents in Beijing have always been confidential, and she never used them in her daily life.
Lu Jin drove with Zhenzhen, Zhou Hua, and Xiao Chunmei behind the boss's car. When they arrived at the north end of the county, Ling Ran rolled down the window and said, "Don't play too late. We have things to do. Let's separate here!"
"Yes, Boss."
Lu Jin drove away and Zhou Hua didn't even have time to ask his sister any questions.
Ling Ran found a store and bought five pounds of milk candy and two packs of cigarettes.
We found another photo studio and had our wedding photos taken expedited. It cost us 20 yuan, and the photos were ready in just ten minutes.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ling Ran called the team leader again.
Tang Ganwen said angrily, "We had an appointment for 2:30. I've already made all the connections for you. Really, you want to get the marriage certificate so suddenly. I've made so many calls that my lips are worn out."
"menopause?"
"You're in menopause! I just can't figure out that outfit. It's driving me crazy."
"It means you should study further."
"Then you come back to take charge?"
"No, just ignore me and continue your research! Goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Ran pulled the little girl into the registration hall.
I found a duty window in the lobby, asked a few questions, and then went to the next window.
When the staff at the window heard that they were the couple who had made an appointment, they asked him to show his ID.
Ling Ran first showed the bag in his hand. When the staff saw the contents, they immediately smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, both of you."
"Thank you!" Ling Ran handed in his own ID as well as the little girl's household registration booklet and ID card.
Things went very quickly inside. The couple had already been told by their superiors that they didn't need to go through any further review, as the review had already been completed and they only needed to issue the certificate directly.
As soon as he got the marriage certificate, Ling Ran took Zhou Xiang's hand and quickly ran to the parking lot. He opened the car door and pulled Zhou Xiang into the back seat.
"Think about it!" He hugged his little girl excitedly, "Think about it! Am I dreaming? Pinch me."
Zhou Xiang really pinched his skin, "Does it hurt?"
Ling Ran grinned, "Hehehe, it doesn't hurt, wife. This time, I can legitimately call you wife."
Zhou Xiang let go of the man, who was so happy that he didn't know what to do. "Let's go home!"
"No."
Ling Ran opened the wedding photo in his hand, carefully looking at the couple's photo with a red background, and then looked at the two rows of names and information below the photo. "They're not side by side. I thought it was two names side by side!"
"Silly, put it away! Don't tell your mom and mine, otherwise, we'll have to start planning the wedding all over again. Let's get the certificate first, and then we'll hold the wedding after everything is settled."
Ling Ran flipped through it several times, almost memorizing the few sentences on it, before handing the marriage certificate to Zhou Xiang. "Put it on the bookshelf. I'll look at it when I have time."
Seeing the little girl put away the marriage certificate, he held her hand and said, "This time, can you tell me why it's so sudden?"
"My second sister might be pregnant."
Ling Ran was stunned. This reason didn't make sense!
Seeing that he didn't understand, Zhou Xiang continued, "Holding a wedding takes too much time. After getting the marriage certificate, what if... you've already been chosen by me? With a formal status, you can find me. Isn't that what you asked for?"
Ling Ran held up the little girl's face and kissed her softly, "Yes! From now on, I can find you anywhere, but I still won't talk to you!"
Zhou Xiang whispered something in his ear, and Ling Ran's kiss immediately became passionate.
This little goblin is completely challenging his limits.
Zhou wanted to obey him, but soon Ling Ran gave in. He let go of the person in his arms, "No, we can't be so hasty. Wait until these annoying people at home leave and I can enter your building. I will make you pay for daring to tease me."
As he spoke, he pinched the tip of the little girl's nose.
Zhou Xiang pushed his hand away and said, "Then go home! You are not allowed to call me your wife in front of outsiders, otherwise it will be exposed."
"Yes, wife, let's go to the river and check it out now! Since we are here, let's check it out."
He was anxious. He wished he could find out the secret of the Huai River right now so that he would no longer be afraid of the Kong family.
"Okay! Go ahead! This time, go to the second turn."
"Um!"
The two returned to the front seat, started the car and drove away.
The second turning point is more than 50 kilometers away from the Huaihe River Bridge. The road on the embankment is uneven and it took more than an hour to get there.
There is no village here. It is an S-shaped bend. When the river water from upstream rushed down, both sides of this place were severely affected.
Looking at the whirlpools on the river, Zhou Xiang suddenly felt stupid. "Ling Ran, if we can see anything on the river, then there's nothing we can do, right?"
Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, then he nodded repeatedly, "Yes! That's the truth."
"Let's go back!"
"Um!"
The car turned around and drove back to the county town. Zhou Xiang said, "Ask Senior Jiang for help in buying diving equipment. We should dive under the Huai River to check."
Ling Ran nodded. "Right! We can't see it on the surface of the river. Let's dive down and take a look. Hurry up and ask Senior Jiang to help place the order."
"Well! Since you've already bought them, buy a few more. If one breaks, you can just replace it. You don't have to buy them over and over again and draw attention to yourself."
"Okay! That makes sense. We have a place to store them anyway, so let's buy a few more."
"After we finish the park at home, we will come to the county town to live for a while, and sneak down to the Huai River at night to practice."
"Okay! I'll call Comrade Jiang Weihua when I get back."
Seeing Zhou Xiang and his wife come back so quickly, Zhou's mother felt strange, but since her daughter didn't say anything, she didn't ask, for she was afraid that her daughter would bother her.
Zhou wanted to return her household registration book, but she didn't even look at it and took it back upstairs.
Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang laughed secretly and took out their cell phones to call Jiang Weihua.
When Jiang Weihua heard that he was asked to buy the best diving equipment, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry! I'll ask Xiao Gu to send it to you after I buy it."
"Yeah! Buy a few more pairs, but do it quietly. Don't let anyone know you're buying them for me, understand?"
"Okay, okay! I'll pack everything up and have Xiao Gu deliver it as quickly as possible!"
After finishing the business, the two chatted about other things. Zhou Niao's nanny car had been brought out and was being prepared for going out. There were about 10 to 20 visitors to the exhibition every day, and 50 to 60 people on Saturdays and Sundays, which was not bad.
"By the way, I heard that Wu Haotian also asked An Wen and Jin Chao about Zhong Lan's mission. Didn't Zhong Lan go with you?"
Zhou wanted to quickly tell him, "Don't tell him. Zhong Lan won't be able to explain this matter for a while. In short, let him think that Zhong Lan is on a mission."
"Alright! I don't have much communication with him anyway. I have an idea for pixel research, and I'll be busy tomorrow."
"Okay! Then hurry up and arrange things!"
