Chapter 145 Chapter 145 We’re Getting Married! (Part 1)…
On the fourth day of the New Year, Xu Wensong had to leave Guangzhou and return to his base in the Northeast.
He was reluctant to leave Yao Meiyu.
However, the straight-laced woman Yao Meiyu was completely unaware of Xu Wensong's unusual feelings.
Yao Meiyu didn't even notice Xu Wensong, but was talking eagerly to Xu Wenmei and Su Qianzi who were traveling with her. "...After Brother Xu leaves, I'll take you to the temple fair! There are so many delicious and fun things to do!"
Su Qianzi asked, "Sister Meiyu, where is the temple fair on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"
Yao Meiyu asked in surprise, "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcome the Kitchen God! On the fifth day, we welcome the God of Wealth! You've been in the countryside for several years, have you forgotten the traditions of your hometown?"
Su Qianzi asked again, "...Is it at the Dadadi Night Market?"
Yao Meiyu, "Of course not! It's on the street near Baiyun Temple!"
Su Qianzi suddenly understood.
Xu Wenmei was surprised. "You have a temple fair here? And a Taoist temple?"
This question is...
Everyone who should understand understands.
Yao Meiyu whispered, "The Taoist temple is empty...but the common people will take advantage of this time to barter or do some small business! After all, it's just after the New Year, and even the poorest people have some money in their hands. Who doesn't want to go shopping, have fun, and buy things?"
Xu Wenmei nodded and gave her brother Xu Wensong a look that said "what a pity".
Xu Wensong was so anxious that he was scratching his head.
First, I felt sorry that I couldn't go to the temple fair with Yao Meiyu.
One reason was that he was anxious because Yao Meiyu had no idea of his pursuit at all.
Finally, Xu Wensong couldn't help it anymore. He took out the books he had borrowed from Yao Meiyu's house and waved them at her. "Meiyu, I can't finish reading these books in a short time. When I finish reading them, I will write to you or mail them back to you. Is that okay?"
Yao Meiyu waved her hand carelessly, "No need to return it! I'll give it to you!"
Xu Wensong: …
Xu Wensong became anxious again!
——How can I not pay it back?
If he really didn't have to pay it back, how could he continue to develop a relationship with Yao Meiyu?
For a moment, Xu Wensong was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
Cheng Yu, Su Tianli and Xu Wenmei, who were standing by, were almost hurt from laughing so hard.
It would be fine for other people, after all, they were all young people who had just started playing together and didn’t know each other very well.
Only Xu Wenmei knows how cold her brother is usually!
And, the books her brother was holding were the ones he had read, right? They were even still at home!
However, everyone still gave Xu Wensong some face and did not sabotage him in public.
Just like that, without Yao Meiyu herself knowing, Xu Wensong, who was deeply in love with her, boarded the train heading north with a grievance.
On the fifth day of the New Year, everyone gathered around Old Lady Xu and went to the temple fair.
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is a festival that Guangdong people attach great importance to - Human Day.
Renri is also known as the Day of Human Victory.
It is said that this is the day of mankind's birth and a festival for people all over the world.
According to Guangdong customs, the New Year festival ends here.
So on the seventh day of the New Year, Old Mrs. Xu hosted the Xu and Su families for a good meal in the restaurant of the Guest House.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all government departments started work.
Cheng Yu got up early, prepared a hearty breakfast, and then went to wake up Su Tianli.
Su Tianli was very sleepy.
These days she has been working on the company's development plan.
Thinking that Ajuan and the others would be back soon, this matter could not be delayed, so she was busy until the early hours of the morning last night.
The consequence was that she had been in low spirits since she was woken up by Cheng Yu in the early morning.
Su Tianli was almost fed by Cheng Yu, and she finished her porridge with her eyes closed.
Then Cheng Yu dressed up carefully.
Su Tianli was lying on the sofa taking a nap...
Then,
Cheng Yu rode his bicycle and took Su Tianli to the neighborhood committee to apply for marriage.
Cheng Yu sent the bicycle at rocket-like speed.
At the same time, he controlled the front of the car, trying to avoid the potholes on the ground, as if hoping to make her sit more stable and comfortable.
Blown by the cold wind in the early morning, Su Tianli slowly came back to her senses.
She sat on the back of the bicycle, and the first thing she felt was Cheng Yu's tall, thin back and slim waist;
The breeze carried the scent of soap on Cheng Yu's shirt, or perhaps his fresh body fragrance.
In short, his unique scent lingered around Su Tianli.
Su Tianli was stunned for a moment and suddenly raised her head.
The winter in Guangzhou is warm and dry, and large, lush green banyan trees can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Su Tianli looked up and saw that the bright sun was blocked by the branches and leaves of the banyan tree and was broken into pieces of golden light.
It looks so beautiful!
so? ? ?
Is she about to start a brand new life?
——A desirable marriage life?
For some reason, Su Tianli pursed her lips and smiled.
Cheng Yu must be very anxious.
Normally it takes half an hour to reach the destination by bike.
He compressed the whole process into twenty minutes.
Su Tianli stood at the door of the neighborhood committee, moving around quietly to relax her butt that was hurting from the back seat of the bicycle...
Cheng Yu had already impatiently parked his bike and locked it;
Then he came over, took her hand, and quickly took her into the neighborhood committee.
Su Tianli: ...
Today, which may be the first day of work after the holiday, the office lobby is empty, with no one in sight.
Of course, Cheng Yu was also a little nervous. He stood there holding the report in one hand and holding Su Tianli's hand in the other. He just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.
A young girl wearing sleeves ran out laughing and carrying a thermos. When she saw Cheng Yu and Su Tianli, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "Hey, what are you two doing?"
Cheng Yu summoned up the courage to say to the young girl, "Hello, comrade! We are here to apply for marriage!"
The young girl was stunned for a moment, staring at Cheng Yu, then at Su Tianli, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Hey, you two... are you Cheng Yu and Su Tianli?"
Cheng Yu and Su Tianli looked at each other.
How to say it?
If they were in the chemical plant’s family compound, one could say that they had already been celebrities.
But they seldom come to the neighborhood committee, so how could the staff here know them?
No matter what, Cheng Yu and Su Tianli nodded in unison.
When the young girl heard this, she turned around and ran away excitedly, shouting, "Sister Zhang! Aunt Wang! Come quickly, Cheng Yu and Su Tianli are really here!"
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu looked at each other again.
Soon, a large group of sisters-in-law and aunts rushed out from the office inside, shouting excitedly:
"Wow! Speak of the devil, here he comes!"
"Wow, so fast? I just received a call from my superior, saying that they are coming to apply for marriage..."
"Let me see what the real person looks like!"
"Hahahaha, they're stamping their marriage applications early in the morning, so we can get some good luck too...May this year go by smoothly!"
"Wow, what a perfect match!"
"Let me stamp them both!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
"Let me do it..."
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu were surrounded by everyone and looked embarrassed.
Probably because Mrs. Xu had given notice, the neighborhood committee staff readily wrote "agree" on their marriage application, stamped it, and tore off two "free photo" slips for them - with these two slips, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu could go to a state-owned photo studio to take two wedding photos.
Next, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu took the stamped marriage application to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As expected, Mrs. Xu should have also informed the Civil Affairs Bureau.
so,
Under the guidance of the Civil Affairs Bureau staff, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu took an oath, signed, and smoothly received a marriage certificate with their names on it.
The marriage certificate of this era looks like the award certificate that primary school students receive, but it only has a few words:
【Marriage Certificate
Cheng Yu (male), 24 years old, and Su Tianli (female), 24 years old, got married voluntarily.
After review and approval of the marriage law, this certificate is issued.
Su Tianli took the marriage certificate with bright red print on a white background and looked at it over and over again with curiosity.
In her past and present lives, I'm afraid she has never thought about getting married.
She couldn't quite believe that the marriage certificate in her hand... was real.
so? ? ?
She is...
Are you really married to Cheng Yu?
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu who was standing beside her.
——He was standing aside, holding the marriage certificate in his hand, grinning like a fool.
It was Su Tianli who finally reacted and took out a handful of red envelopes from her cross-body bag and offered them to the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Cheng Yu was still holding the marriage certificate, smiling foolishly...
Su Tianli felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled him away from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When the two stood under the shade of the tree in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cheng Yu couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Su Tianli tilted her head and looked at him.
He also looked down at her, showing his beautiful white teeth.
Until this moment,
Su Tianli, who was confused about the idea of "marriage", inexplicably had a specific idea.
Her steady heartbeat suddenly became wild and throbbing!
Unconsciously, her cheeks turned red.
Su Tianli lowered her head, pushed the bicycle and ran a few steps, then jumped on the bicycle and rode away.
"Wife!!!" Cheng Yu suddenly called her.
Su Tianli was so frightened that she twisted her waist and almost fell down with the bike.
Cheng Yu had already stretched out his long legs and ran after her, "Wife!"
Su Tianli: ...
Cheng Yu was so happy!
actually--
From the moment Lizhi agreed to marry him, he had always felt like he was floating on a cloud.
It's all so unbelievable.
Until now, when he held the marriage certificate with his and Lizhi's names on it in his hands, Cheng Yu felt that his legs were standing on solid ground and was finally sure - this was not a dream!
He and Lizhi have truly become husband and wife!
His heart was so filled with joy that it seemed about to burst!
The strange and strong emotion made him feel that he had to do something now.
Otherwise, the joy that was surging in his heart like the waves of the ocean... would simply not be able to dissipate.
So he stretched out his long legs and ran after Su Tianli.
Every two steps, he would shout "Wife"...
Su Tianli: I just feel my face is very red and hot!
I dare not look at him...
He is so stupid, why is he running while calling his wife?
It seemed like she was a little silly, wouldn't it be fine if she didn't run? If she didn't run, he wouldn't chase her...
Now she plods aimlessly on her bike;
He was playing beside her bicycle, calling her "wife"...
In the eyes of outsiders, are she and he two fools?
Finally, Su Tianli couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The two went to a state-owned photo studio and took two wedding photos.
One is a headshot of the two of them.
One is a full-body photo of the two of them.
Next, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu went to the Housing Management Office again.
Sister Cai, Yao Meiyu’s best friend, has been waiting for her since early morning!
"Why did you two come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Sister Cai suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, "Hey, did you two go to get the marriage certificate?"
Su Tianli nodded, took out the marriage certificate from her messenger bag with a smile and handed it to Sister Cai.
Sister Cai took it and looked at it carefully, smiling so hard that her teeth showed and her eyes did not see, "Oh, congratulations!"
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu smiled at each other and blushed.
Next, Sister Cai took Su Tianli to complete the formalities, and then rode her bicycle to take Su Cheng and the others to see the house.
This time, Sister Cai brought out three houses for Su Tianli and Cheng Yu to choose from:
One is a small courtyard. The house is relatively old, a bungalow with a sliding door. It has only one room and is about 40 to 50 square meters.
But the ceiling is quite high, and the original owner made it into a loft, and it only has one room.
As for the kitchen, to be precise, it was built in the yard with a few bricks;
This house does not have a separate toilet. Sixty or seventy households in the entire alley share one public toilet.
The second house is also a stand-alone small courtyard.
This house is bigger and newer than the previous one. It is a proper small two-story building.
The most amazing thing is that there is a half floor above the second floor!
The first floor is the living room, kitchen, toilet, and a small bedroom;
On the second floor are two bedrooms, one large and one small.
Su Tianli went to check the toilet carefully - in those days, there were almost no independent toilets in single-family houses.
Basically, people living in the same alley share a public toilet. Night people use toilets or spittoons. They go to the toilet early in the morning to pour out the night incense...
But this house has a separate toilet? !
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu looked around and realized that the sewage pool of the toilet was outside the yard and had a manhole cover.
The third house is an old resettlement house built by the municipal government after liberation.
This is a four-story "A"-shaped building.
There are about ten people on each floor.
Each household has one bedroom, one living room and a balcony. The bedroom is small but the living room is large, and you can even add another room to it.
This kind of collective building has no independent kitchen or toilet, and every household has a coal stove at the door of their house;
The toilets are also public.
Sister Cai told Su Tianli:
Of these three houses, the first one is small but independent, and the price is relatively moderate, at 2,900 yuan per unit;
The second house is of course good, but it is also expensive, 4,200 yuan per unit;
The third house is the most economical, costing 1,600 yuan;
After much deliberation, Su Tianli decided to order the second set... the most expensive one!
Although it hurts a bit,
But Su Tianli still felt that it would be better to buy the wedding house all at once.
However, four thousand and two is really expensive!
Her previous budget was three thousand, and she planned to spend another thousand to redecorate and renovate the house.
Now it seems that there is no money left for decoration and renovation.
Cheng Yu is very sensitive.
He immediately noticed Su Tianli's emotions.
After signing the house purchase contract with Ms. Cai at the Housing Authority, paying the cash and getting the keys,
Sister Cai told Su Tianli, "It's not that easy to get the property title and land deed! They need approval from the higher authorities, and the earliest you can get them is estimated to be a month later."
"Tomorrow, the two of you should take your marriage certificate and house purchase contract to the neighborhood committee and the street office to register. They will open separate household registration books for the two of you... From now on, the two of you will be husband and wife on the same household registration book!"
"Okay, it's time to get off work, you two should go back quickly!"
Su Tianli quickly thanked Sister Cai.
After finishing all these, the whole day will be almost over.
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu decided to go home and go back to Shaou Street.
——Ajuan and Old Lady Su will be back today, and my second uncle and his family will also be here;
Mao Li and Zhang Wei will also return;
Su Dejun, Su Qianzi and Su Tiancai would also come over to have dinner together.
On the way, Cheng Yu asked Su Tianli, "Lizhi, that house... don't you like it?"
Otherwise, why would he suddenly become unhappy?
Su Tianli answered truthfully: "That house is too expensive!"
Cheng Yu, "I have money, I'll go back and give it to you later."
Su Tianli smiled and said, "That's not necessary..."
Then she told me her budget.
He added: "I don't have the money to renovate or buy new furniture right now... But it doesn't matter, I'll do it slowly when I make some money in the future!"
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's come to the new house again tomorrow. Tell me what you want the house to look like and I'll do it."
Su Tianli disagreed, "The house needs to be renovated, new furniture needs to be installed... We can just pay someone to do these things. Don't waste your time on these things. You still have to do your multi-functional catering vehicle, you have to do your company work, and you have to catch up on your English... With so many things to do, how can you have time for that?"
For Su Tianli,
She felt that things were prioritized.
As long as the house is comfortable to live in, she doesn't have any special requirements.
You can add to it and take care of it slowly.
but!
This was the first time that Cheng Yu sang a different tune from Su Tianli.
"How can that be possible?! That house is our wedding house! If nothing unexpected happens... I mean, if we don't transfer jobs, we will live here for the rest of our lives!"
So what if I change jobs?
This could be his and Lizhi’s first home.
I will always come back later...
"This house must be renovated! The furniture must also satisfy you!" Cheng Yu insisted.
Su Tianli was worried, "How can you still have time..."
Cheng Yu became more anxious, "I'll take care of it!"
Su Tianli thought about it and gave him an idea, "You can hire someone else to help with the multifunctional catering vehicle! There are many educated youth returning to the city now, and there is surplus labor everywhere!"
Cheng Yu found it a little unbelievable, "Be my apprentice?"
Su Tianli laughed, "Not impossible!"
Cheng Yu also laughed, "Then people will call you Master's Wife from now on..."
Su Tianli couldn't laugh anymore.
Her face was red.
