"It's okay, as long as you treat Sanya well. I'm warning you, if you ever wrong Sanya or treat her badly, we can't be friends anymore."
"Don't worry, now that I'm married, I will definitely devote myself wholeheartedly to my family, my wife, and my children."
"Okay, I trust you. Come pick up the report after you finish eating. I'll have Brother Zhang sign it first, and then you can take it to your supervisor for a signature."
Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone. "Lu Jing, go to my third uncle's house and get the key from Song Zigan. After that, bring some people to prepare all the daily necessities he's missing. He's getting married to Sanya tomorrow."
Tell Aunt Yang and the others to make bedding immediately, at least two sets.”
Lu Jing was also taken aback for a moment, but immediately obeyed the instructions. She found Aunt Yang and told them to leave only one person to cook, while the rest of them went to make bedding, curtains, sheets, pillows, and duvet covers.
Luckily, we had cotton at home, both for the backing and the mattress cover.
Carrying willow catkins, Ma Jun and his companion set off; they really had a lot to buy. Time was incredibly tight.
Zhang Hongmei picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Shouyi's private line. "Brother Zhang, Song Zigan and Sanya are getting married tomorrow. Could you help me get a marriage certificate, sign it, and have Xiao Li send it back?"
"Hehe, what's going on here?"
"They're getting married tomorrow."
"Let Sanya write the marriage report, and then you can have Chengzi bring it over for me to sign and stamp. It's not like I'm getting married, why should I write a marriage report?"
"Alright, I'll have Chengzi go to Sanya's house to get it in a bit. Let's get it done quickly. We still have one day tomorrow."
"Honey, why do I feel like you're even more invested in this than you were in our wedding?"
"Because you are powerful and omnipotent, I don't need to worry about anything."
Zhang Shouyi immediately became arrogant. This was the first time his wife had ever praised him like that.
"Wife, I miss you."
"I miss you too." Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone after saying that and laughed heartily. It turned out that even the powerful Zhang Shouyi enjoyed being flattered.
Zhang Shouyi listened to the dial tone and put down the phone.
"Xiao Li, let's go home."
This wasn't the first time any of the secretaries had encountered such a capricious leader, and no one dared to offer a word of warning, as an important meeting was imminent.
Zhang Hongmei notified Chengzi to go to Liu Maocai's house and called Sanya, asking her to write a report immediately, which Chengzi would pick up in 15 minutes.
Gu Chuanming looked at the energetic Zhang Hongmei and shook his head. Finally, something had made her so excited.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hongmei was stunned when she saw Zhang Shouyi walk in.
"Brother Zhang, why are you back?"
"If you missed me, of course I had to come back."
Gu Chuanming shook his head and took the two children who were reading books back to the next room.
"Brother Zhang, what would you like to eat?"
Zhang Shouyi pulled Zhang Hongmei, who was sitting on the sofa, up and said, "I just want to eat you."
Chengzi was stopped by Xiao Li and didn't come in. He also didn't see the couple at lunch.
Zhang Hongmei said countless kind words, just saying whatever Zhang Shouyi wanted to hear. Anyway, she didn't come out of the bedroom until four o'clock in the afternoon.
"shame on you."
Zhang Shouyi, satisfied, just laughed, and Zhang Hongmei didn't refute him no matter what he said.
Upon seeing the marriage certificate on the coffee table, Zhang Hongmei hurriedly asked Zhang Shouyi to sign it.
"It's all your fault. Look, if you delay their important business, I'll never forgive you."
"Don't worry, honey. Even in the middle of the night, there are people who will sign for you. If all else fails, I'll sign it myself."
Chengzi drove to Liu Maocai's house again. Fortunately, Song Zigan had not left and was waiting there for the report.
"Officer Song, let me drive you to complete the formalities. And I'll leave the car with you."
"Okay, thank you."
Song Zigan handed his marriage report to his superior, who, upon seeing the signature, immediately signed it without hesitation.
"Xiao Song, congratulations! When are you having the banquet?"
"Boss, on the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll treat my colleagues to drinks at a hot pot restaurant."
"Okay, I'll be there."
"Boss, I need to ask for leave again tomorrow. Thank you for your help."
"It's okay, it's okay. Getting married is a big deal, it's only right to take leave."
Song Zigan went to the office again, and all his colleagues congratulated him, whether sincerely or not.
"Please make sure to come to the hot pot restaurant on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I have a reservation."
After finishing these tasks, Song Zigan and Chengzi returned to the compound together.
"Congratulations, groom! You're still my friend today, but starting tomorrow you'll be my brother-in-law."
Zhang Hongmei teased Song Zigan.
"My sister-in-law!"
"Haha, so this is what it feels like to be someone's older sister! Not bad, I like this title."
"Alright, I won't keep the groom any longer. Go ahead and get busy. Here are the keys. The house is all set up. Go take a look. You'd better stay there tonight, and make sure the house is warm. Also, go early tomorrow. They say the first couple to get their marriage certificate will be loving and affectionate for life."
Song Zi nodded with a dry laugh, then nodded to Zhang Shouyi and left.
When I got home, I saw that even in such a short time, everything was tidied up. The stove was lit, but the room was still not warm, although an electric blanket had been put on the bed.
Lying in bed, Song Zigan couldn't fall asleep at all. He had always thought he would never get married. He never imagined he would be in this situation.
The next morning at 5:30, Song Zigan drove to Liu Maocai's house.
The elderly couple had just gotten up. Last night, Er Ya and her mother had been busy for most of the night and finally managed to make two sets of bedding.
Hearing the knock, Liu Maocai went to open the door.
"Dad, I've come to pick up Sanya."
"Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
When Li Cuihua saw Song Zigan come in, she hurriedly knocked on Sanya's door. "Get up quickly, Xiao Song is here. I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles."
Sanya didn't sleep at all that night. She was filled with a mix of emotions: excitement, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future.
Hearing the knock on the door, he was already getting dressed and took out the cashmere coat that Zhang Hongmei had given him.
After they finished washing up, Li Cuihua had already cooked the noodles. The two of them sat in the main room, each with a bowl and two poached eggs.
"Have you brought your household registration booklet? Hurry up, don't be late," Li Cuihua kept urging from the side.
"Mom. It's not too late, it's still dark."
"Then hurry up, you can drive there, it's not cold, go quickly."
“Yeah, Sanya, we really need to hurry. If someone else beats us to it, I reckon we’ll both get yelled at.”
The two got into the car. "Sanya, are you cold?"
"I'm not cold, I'm wearing a lot of clothes."
"Let's take photos after we get our marriage certificate; we need to have this memory of today."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"Hehe, I'll listen to you from now on," Song Zigan promised.
