Neither Cai Peilin nor Lu Yue knew this.
"Grandma, I checked, there's still some sugar in the storeroom, but it's not very good. It's hot, so some of it has melted."
"Then there won't be enough time to buy it tomorrow morning."
"Then let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store now; it should be open by now."
Whether she managed to buy any candy or not, Zhang Hongmei didn't know. After Zhang Shouyi helped her bathe, he went to bed and fell asleep shortly afterward.
When I got up in the middle of the night, still half asleep, I asked a question.
"Honey, I don't know either. If we really can't buy any more, we can just use what we have at home."
It wasn't until eight o'clock, when it was time for dinner, that Zhang Hongmei listened to Hu Aifen's story as if it were a joke.
“This Cai Peilin is quite capable. When the Overseas Chinese Store closed down, he went to many other stores and finally managed to buy it.”
"Hehe, it's really not easy."
"That's right, the young couple set off at 5:30 in the morning."
"Hehe, that way we'll definitely be the first one."
Cai Peilin and his companion arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and parked their car on the side of the road.
"Lu Yue, you wait here, I'll go buy you breakfast?"
"No, I'm not hungry right now. People start work at 7:30. Let's wait here together."
"Okay, let's go eat after we finish the formalities."
The two stood at the door and waited. The morning temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
Half an hour later, another couple arrived.
"It's all your fault. I told you to come early, but you said it was okay. Look, there are already people ahead of us!" the girl complained to her boyfriend.
The man scratched his head, seeing that his wife was still nagging him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Cai Peilin.
"Excuse me, comrade, could we switch places? My mother-in-law insists that we be first in line."
"That's what my great-grandmother said too, no changing." That's how Cai Peilin always spoke, but to outsiders, it didn't sound like the real story.
"Fine, I won't change it then. What kind of attitude is this?" the woman said, dissatisfied.
Cai Peilin completely ignored them, which made Lu Yue a little dissatisfied. "What kind of attitude is this? This is the attitude I'm talking about."
"Hmph. Even if you're first in line, you'll still have to get your appointment after us."
"Hehe! Let's give it a try then."
Lu Yue really didn't believe it. They had been raised to be too rigid and inflexible.
Several more couples arrived one after another, but the situation did not repeat itself.
The staff opened the door promptly at 7:30. Cai Peilin and his companion stood in front of the staff's desk and handed over their documents.
"Auntie."
"You two came today? Wait a moment."
"Auntie, my grandma said we should be the first to do it."
Cai Peilin and Lu Yue remained silent, simply standing there.
"Comrade, your paperwork is incomplete. Next."
"Hehe, which one are you missing?"
"I said it's incomplete, so it's incomplete. Your company didn't stamp it!"
Lu Yue laughed. "What are you? You can't understand this chapter. If you don't do it today, you'll be in for a world of trouble."
Also, if you don't understand, just ask someone who does to come over.
Just then, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau pushed his cart over and saw the same vehicle again, which startled him. He entered the office and heard the arrogant voice again, so he quickly squeezed through the crowd.
"What's wrong?"
"Director, they're too arrogant. Look, they don't even have an official seal, and they're still causing trouble."
The bureau chief took a look and immediately felt his legs go weak.
"What do you know? Comrade, I'm very sorry, she doesn't understand. I'll process it for you right away."
“No, I’m reporting her because her niece is behind us in line, and she’s abusing her power to try and get her processed first.”
"Is that so?" the bureau chief asked the staff member, his eyes wide.
"No, I only called the next person because I saw there really wasn't an official seal."
"You don't need to put on an act. I need to know how this matter will be resolved."
"Hehe, comrade, that's for sure, but I'll get your marriage certificate first, and then deal with her later."
Xiao Sun, go to my office and wait there. Call Xiao Li over.
"Gentlemen, I will handle this for you personally."
Even if this employee Sun was stupid, he knew he had run into a tough customer today, so he didn't dare to say anything and went inside to call for help.
Lu Yue turned to look at the girl who had been so arrogant just moments before. "Didn't you say we'd definitely be behind you? Why don't you go ahead and do it first?"
Cai Peilin suppressed a laugh, thinking that he would have to teach his straightforward daughter-in-law a lesson.
The bureau chief sat down and looked at the two people's files, wondering why so many people were getting married during this period.
In less than five minutes, the couple had their marriage certificate processed.
Lu Yue didn't leave; she followed behind the bureau chief, determined to find out the outcome.
She was still unhappy. On her wedding day, someone was causing trouble? If she didn't vent her anger, how could she stay so resentful?
The bureau chief was at a loss; such incidents happen frequently, and if no one makes a fuss, it's not a big deal. But this person who wouldn't let it go today really couldn't be let off easily.
Once inside the office, he invited Cai Peilin and the other man to sit down.
"Xiao Sun, tell me what's going on."
"Director, there really isn't an official seal on it."
"But your niece's situation also exists."
Lu Yue was annoyed. "Let's leave. What's the point of this?"
"Don't rush, the bureau chief needs to know what happened first."
In the end, Comrade Sun was reassigned to cleaning duties. Lu Yue then pulled Cai Peilin away.
"Xiao Sun, do you feel wronged?"
"Chief, where did I go wrong?"
“There are a few personal seals that I told you all to remember, but you didn’t take them seriously. That’s a mistake in your work.”
Go down and take a look. Whose seal was that just now?
The two got into the car, but Lu Yue was still not very happy.
"Alright, you've vented your anger."
"I'm just angry. They're making things difficult for me on my special day."
"It's okay, don't be angry." Cai Peilin decided not to say anything today, and that his wife would teach him slowly.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Let's go eat first, and then go to the photo studio to take pictures. Look, they gave us a lot of receipts. After we take pictures, we can go to the building for a look around."
"Um."
"Honey, don't be upset. Today is our big day. There's no need to get angry over people or things that don't concern us."
"Okay, I understand. We need to hurry."
"That's right, we need to hurry, we haven't even moved our luggage over yet."
Yes. Where is your luggage?
"It's in Fuzeyuan."
"Mine is in the trunk of the car; I didn't move it out yesterday."
Lu Yue's mood has improved a lot now, and she's no longer so irritable.
After they finished eating, they went to take photos and then went shopping at the building.
"I forgot to give out the wedding candy. What a waste of all the money you spent knocking on doors last night."
"It's okay, we'll eat this candy ourselves."
The two walked around for a while but didn't buy anything. They weren't exactly frugal people, and didn't know what they needed.
