Chapter 33 Chapter 33
033.
Both of them were very nervous, but they did not forget their business. After getting the marriage certificate, they still had to go to the police station to handle household registration.
It was already eleven o'clock when I came out of the registration office, and the road surface was shining white in the sunlight.
Gu Tingzhou looked at Song Chunman and quickly took the marriage certificate from her hand. His Adam's apple moved: "I'll take this, in case you lose it."
Song Chunman wanted to laugh a little. She didn't know why he was so nervous.
But she didn't say anything, she just urged him to go to the police station quickly so that others would be off work soon.
Gu Tingzhou collected the marriage certificate, sent the mother and daughter into the car, and drove directly to the police station.
There weren't many people working in the police station at the moment. Officer Wang saw Gu Tingzhou walk in in his military uniform and quickly stood up. "Captain Gu? What brings you here?"
Gu Tingzhou smiled upon hearing this, "We just got married, and now we're here to transfer our household registration."
Police Officer Wang knew Gu Tingzhou and knew that he had always been single, but he didn't expect that they got married today?
"Congratulations. You're finally married." He turned and glanced at the woman beside him. "Is this my sister-in-law?"
Gu Tingzhou nodded and handed the materials to him. "Please help expedite it."
Officer Wang looked at the documents he handed over, which were all complete. He smiled and said, "You've just gotten your marriage certificate and you're already here to get your household registration. Isn't that a bit hasty?"
"Anyway, I'm going to take a vacation soon, so I can just do it when I'm free, so I don't have to ask for leave later." Gu Tingzhou said in a relaxed tone.
"That's true." Secretary Wang glanced at him and asked him to write an application.
While applying, Gu Tingzhou asked him how long it would take for the application to be approved.
Secretary Wang also spoke frankly, "It will take at least three days to transfer your household registration within the city. Then you can just come and get your new household registration booklet."
It was pretty much what he thought, so Gu Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Their wedding banquet would be held in three days, so he could come and get it after the banquet.
After writing the application, Gu Tingzhou distributed some wedding candy to everyone in the police station, and then went to the department store with Song Chunman and the children.
When getting out of the car, Song Xiyue was carried on his shoulders, her little hands holding his head, and she said happily: "Dad, are we going to buy wedding candy?"
"Not just candy." Gu Tingzhou pulled his daughter's hand and turned to look at Song Chunman. "We need to buy new things for a wedding. Clothes, fabrics, candy, everything."
Song Xiyue exclaimed, "It's great to be married. I can buy a lot of delicious food. I want to get married more often in the future."
Hearing this, Gu Tingzhou quickly said, "That won't do, my daughter! If you want to buy something delicious, Daddy will give it to your mom. We're not short of money, but don't get married casually."
Song Chunman also burst out laughing and said, "That's right, you can't get married too often. It's because Mom thinks it's great to marry someone like your dad. You have to find someone like your dad to marry."
Gu Tingzhou couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard her words.
My wife praised him!!! I’m so happy!!!
Song Xiyue just thought that she could buy a lot of food after getting married, but her parents didn’t agree, so she gave up.
After entering the department store, Gu Tingzhou held the child in his arms.
People were coming and going in the department store, and all kinds of things were placed in the glass counters. Song Chunman was very familiar with this place. She originally thought that she just needed to buy some wedding candies and biscuits, but she didn't expect that the man would not look at these, but took her directly to see the three-turn and one-ring.
He pointed at the Shanghai brand watch on the counter: "This one, I want the latest model."
Song Chunman quickly pulled him aside: "No need to buy it, I have a watch."
After she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the watch on her wrist. "This is the dowry the Song family gave me. It's still usable."
"That was your dowry from your last wedding, given by the Song family." Gu Tingzhou looked at her, his tone unquestionable, "Now that you are marrying me, you must wear new ones. This is what I bought for you, it's different!"
"Really." Song Chunman really didn't want him to spend any more money. "I've already given you three thousand as a betrothal gift, which is more than enough. It would be a waste to buy these."
"How is this considered a waste?" Gu Tingzhou frowned. "My wife is getting married, so she needs everything. Your old things should have been sold long ago. Are you keeping them because you can't bear to part with Sun Wenbin?"
After he said that, Song Chunman was speechless. So, he was jealous?
She laughed, feeling soft and helpless. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll sell all these old ones later."
If I really sell it, I can make a lot of money by selling the original wardrobe as well.
In the end, Song Chunman was persuaded by him to order a watch, a sewing machine, a radio, and a bicycle. However, Gu's mother and father had already arranged the wardrobe and dressing table, so they did not order anything.
When I walked out of the department store, the originally empty canvas bag was now stuffed bulging with stuff.
Instead of returning to the alley, they went directly to Gu's house.
The wedding is in three days, so they have to do a thorough cleaning of the house.
When we returned to the Gu family, Mother and Father Gu were already busy.
Seeing them come back, Mother Gu put down the rag in her hand and said, "Have you got the certificate? Let me see it!"
Gu Tingzhou took out the marriage certificate from his bag and handed it over. Mother Gu looked at it again and again, her eyes reddened. "Okay, okay, once you get the certificate, you'll be part of our Gu family."
After saying that, he looked at Song Chunman again and said, "Go take a look at Tingzhou's room and tell me how to clean it up. Then tell me and I'll do it according to your ideas."
Song Chunman smiled and said, "Mom, let Tingzhou and I take care of our room."
When Mother Gu heard this, she did not object. Young people have their own ideas, so when the wardrobes arrive, let them do it themselves.
"Okay." She responded, "I just discussed it with your dad. We've invited quite a few people here. So, should we send invitations to your family?"
Song Chunman paused in thought and said in a straightforward tone, "No need. I only plan to invite a few colleagues from the factory who I get along well with. If I really invite them, they might cause some trouble at our banquet."
Gu's mother originally thought that relatives must be present at the wedding, but after hearing what she said, she sighed inwardly and didn't want to persuade her anymore: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on, I'll let Tingzhou arrange the rest for you."
For the next two days, the Gu family was almost busy.
Gu's father and mother went to book a restaurant and make reservations for the banquet. Gu Tingzhou and Song Chunman were busy cleaning, pasting window decorations, renovating the room, and rearranging the furniture that was delivered to their door one after another.
Song Xiyue was also busy. She took the red paper given by Gu's mother and cut the word "囍" in the yard. When she made a mistake, she ran to Gu Tingzhou and said, "Dad, I can't cut it well. Can you teach me?"
Gu Tingzhou put down his work and taught her step by step: "It has to be symmetrical here, like the buttons on a military uniform, one on each side to make it look neat."
He picked up the scissors and cut the red cloth. His fingers were rough but flexible, and in a blink of an eye he cut out the character "囍".
Song Chunman was a little surprised, "As a regiment leader, you would do this?"
"I learned it in the army." Gu Tingzhou said with a rather proud tone, "For things like New Year's Eve and weddings, our army makes these little things ourselves. Your man's craftsmanship is pretty good, isn't it?"
Song Chunman smiled and nodded, "Not bad, worthy of praise."
Gu Tingzhou raised the corner of his mouth.
In a flash, three days passed. Gu Tingzhou went to get a new household registration book, and the names of Song Chunman and Song Xiyue were already firmly on their Gu family's household registration book.
Everyone in the compound saw what the Gu family did during these three days, and many people had already received their wedding invitations.
The rumor had already spread in the military compound that Commander Gu had married a divorced woman. Not only did he move her household registration, he also bought three turns and one ring and wanted to hold a banquet in a restaurant. He was definitely being taken advantage of.
Of course, those who did not receive the invitation, such as those who had a good relationship with Chen Yafang, also felt jealous.
When they met Gu Tingzhou on the road, someone couldn't help but ask him, "Captain Gu, are you really going to hold this banquet in a hotel?"
"Yeah." Gu Tingzhou responded.
"Oh, I'm not saying anything bad about you." The man smiled, "She's a remarried woman with a maid. Just show some respect for her. Why be so extravagant?"
Gu Tingzhou stopped and his eyes turned cold: "When I get married, how big the banquet is and how much money it costs is none of your business."
"I'm doing this for your own good." The man curled his lips. "You say you have such good conditions, and there are so many unmarried lesbians eyeing you, but you choose to find a divorced one and pamper her so much. Be careful that they will cheat you."
"If I don't pamper my wife, how could I pamper you?" Gu Tingzhou's voice deepened. "Also, Xiyue is my biological daughter, not some little girl. If I hear you say something like this again, don't blame me for being rude."
The man was frightened by the hostility in his eyes and shut up awkwardly.
But when he said that, everyone couldn't help but think of the last time Gu Tingzhou scolded Chen Yafang and mentioned that Song Xiyue was his biological daughter.
Could it be that the child is really his biological child?
But isn't this right?
Could it be that the two of them had been hooking up a few years ago?
No, no, last time he was still saying it was Chen Yafang's credit? What's going on?
Everyone was extremely curious, but they couldn't figure out the reason, which made them feel itchy.
The next day was the wedding banquet. According to the rules, the bride could not leave the groom's house. In the afternoon, Gu Tingzhou sent Song Chunman and Song Xiyue back to the old house on the other side of the alley.
The two of them tidied up the place briefly. Gu Tingzhou glanced at the wall clock and prepared to get up and say goodbye. He had to get up early tomorrow to pick up his bride, so he had to get enough rest.
When he was about to go out, he saw Song Chunman looking at him, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Are you nervous?" Gu Tingzhou walked back and looked at her. "Don't worry, Aunt Quanfu will come before dawn tomorrow. Just remember to cook them a bowl of comfort noodles. We have arranged the wedding party for you, so don't worry."
Song Chunman shook her head: "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that those people from the Song family will go to the restaurant to cause trouble tomorrow."
The smile on Gu Tingzhou's face faded a little, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
He had been so busy preparing for the wedding these days that he had actually forgotten about the Song family incident. However, he still tried to comfort her, "Your father is the deputy director of the factory and he cares about his reputation. He might not come without an invitation."
"But Liu Yongli will instigate him." Song Chunman sighed, "My stepmother is the best at gossiping. If she whispers something in my dad's ear, he might actually come."
Gu Tingzhou was silent for a moment.
If the Song family really comes to cause trouble, it would be embarrassing to kick them out directly, and people would say they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power if it gets out.
He looked down at Song Chunman's furrowed brows and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, I recently learned a secret of Song Yushan. I promise that even if they come, they can stay quiet."
Hearing this, Song Chunman looked at him curiously, "Do you also know Song Yushan's secret?"
