The two of them went to get the marriage certificate quietly without telling anyone. Gu Xi observed Wang Xu's expression, afraid that he might have some thoughts, but Wang Xu didn't have any thoughts at all. His mind was full of joy at getting married, and he didn't have anything he had to tell anyone.
Gu Xi insisted that they both wear white shirts inside, and their custom-made rust-red corduroy jackets outside. The jackets were worth the money. Wang Xu insisted on wearing the leather jacket that Gu Chao sent him, but he never wore it once.
The moment he put on the shirt and leather jacket, Gu Xi felt like she was in love again. Wang Xu's figure was like a walking clothes rack, and coupled with his world-weary face, she couldn't help but walk up to him and touch him here and there: "Wang Xu, white shirt and leather jacket, you are really good at it, you suddenly become an abstinence-style handsome guy. It's just that your skin is a little dark, and you need a tie."
Wang Xu's ears couldn't help but turn red again because of Gu Xi's teasing: "If you touch me again, I won't be able to leave the house. You look very beautiful today, why don't you wear the skirt I bought for you?"
Thinking of those colorful skirts that suit the straight male aesthetic, Gu Xi couldn't help but twitch her lips: "I'm matching couple outfits with you. I'll keep the skirt for you to wear. I'll bring my lipstick and put it on later."
When I arrived at the registration office and was waiting, I saw a lot of people around me wearing green military uniforms, which was the highest configuration at that time. There were also people wearing red cotton-padded jackets and Zhongshan suits, and the female comrades had their two pigtails combed very neatly.
Although they were wearing different clothes, everyone had a happy smile on their face, reflecting their anticipation of embarking on a new life.
Others also looked at Gu Xi and Wang Xu. The two of them were so good-looking that they were the most eye-catching wherever they stood. Their clothes were also very different from the others.
"Brother, can you lend me this leather jacket so I can take some pictures? I can tell you bought it in Shanghai. It's so cool. I want to buy one, but it's a pity that we don't have it in town."
Wang Xu looked at the young man who spoke. From his dress and appearance, it was clear that he was not from an ordinary family. His watch was a Shanghai brand, and his cotton-padded jacket and sweater were newly bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The lady next to me had long hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a long skirt. The style and fabric of the skirt were nice, but it was a bit old, probably because she wore it often.
Whenever Wang Xu faced outsiders, he looked like someone he wasn't going to mess with. His expression was cold and hard, and his voice gave people a sense of oppression: "I have mysophobia, so I only sell clothes, not lend them."
When the man heard that he was willing to sell it, his eyes lit up immediately and he was so excited that he wanted to get his hands on it, but Wang Xu looked too fierce and he didn't dare to touch it: "Brother, you are really my brother, how much do you want to sell this leather jacket? I want it, I want it."
Under Gu Xi's surprised and admiring eyes, he took out a leather jacket from the bag he was carrying: "Two hundred yuan."
When the man heard the price, he said, "That's a bit expensive. It only costs 105 yuan in Shanghai."
Wang Xu said calmly, "That was the price half a year ago. It went up during the Chinese New Year. It's the latest model, and transportation is not convenient. This is specially bought for me by my brother-in-law. I asked for three more pieces. They were originally for my boss, but I gave you one because you're getting married. It doesn't make any money, so forget it."
The man thought about it and reluctantly gave up the leather jacket: "Here's the money. I want it. Do you have any more in your bag? I want another one."
Wang Xu looked very embarrassed: "This is not good. Since you are getting married, I have made an exception and gave you one piece. I am not a person who speculates. I still have two pieces I want to give to my leaders."
The man immediately discussed with a sincere tone: "Brother, don't you have three? You can give one away. My good brother is getting married too, so just think of this as a good deed. Your wife is so beautiful and a perfect match for you. Happy wedding, have a baby soon, and you will grow old together."
Wang Xu couldn't help but smile when he heard his blessing: "You have good taste. It's fate that we get the marriage certificate on the same day. I'll give it to you."
The two leather jackets were given to the man, and as if afraid that he would go back on his word, the man immediately gave the money to Wang Xu. He happily returned to the team with the leather jacket, but the woman next to him was not so happy: "Why did you spend so much money on two leather jackets? You bought me a bicycle when you got married, and you were so stingy, saying you had no money, so why did you spend 400 yuan to buy leather jackets all of a sudden?
I don't care, I want to buy a watch and a tape recorder. "
The man put on a leather jacket and was in a good mood. He didn't pay any attention to the woman's chattering beside him: "I really don't have any money. My mother gave me 500 yuan this morning, saying that I should buy some things for my wedding. There is still 100 yuan left. I will treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant and book a few tables for you to show your face in front of your friends. I will check the radio later and buy you some if there is any left."
The woman was obviously not satisfied: "Your mother bought something for you, and you spent 400 yuan by yourself. You could have just bought one, why did you buy two? You are so selfish. I want to buy something too."
The man was obviously a little impatient: "Zhang Jia, don't make trouble with me in public. A man should have dignity in public. You are not giving me face by making trouble like this. Why can't I use the money my mother gave me? You should understand clearly. I gave you 100 yuan as a betrothal gift and bought you a bicycle. I have never treated you unfairly. My father also introduced you to your job.
If you want to get married, then get married. If you don’t want to, then get out and return all your things and money to me. "
Seeing that he was angry, the woman dared not speak again with tears in her eyes, knowing that he was soft-tempered and not hard-hearted: "Brother Zhou, I was wrong. I won't make trouble outside anymore. Calm down."
The man was not really angry, he was just annoyed. Seeing how sensible she was, he hugged her with relief and said, "I like your sensibility. After we get married, we will live a good life and I will not treat you badly. Give me a son and make my parents happy, and then the money will come."
It was their turn to take photos and get their marriage certificate. They hugged each other and went in happily.
Gu Xi found this melon a little hard to swallow, and turned to look at Wang Xu: "Tsk, mama's boy, you spent 400 yuan on a leather jacket out of a total of 500 yuan, it's speechless. If you do this, I will definitely skin you alive."
Wang Xu stuffed the four hundred yuan he got in exchange for his leather jacket into Gu Xi's small bag: "Wife, I've handed over all my money to you. I have to apply for it when I buy expensive things. Shouldn't I get a reward? I haven't eaten clay pot rice for a long time. Can you make it for me?"
Gu Xi was so amused by his actions: "Why do you carry a leather jacket with you? You are such a business genius. With such a brain, you will succeed in everything you do."
Wang Xu was flattered by the compliment: "Didn't you praise my handsome outfit? My mouth is watering. I think others will think it's good too. I can sell the leather jacket. My brother-in-law sent me five pieces. I have two left. I will sell them to that stinky old man Hong Qin later. He will definitely want to compare with me when he sees how handsome I am wearing it."
Gu Xi couldn't help laughing and couldn't help but hit him twice: "You are so shameless, how could I drool? Brother Hong met you, it's really a bad choice of friends. I'm not even 40, and you keep calling me an old man."
Wang Xu was so upset that he said, "Who wants to be friends with him? I only deal with him for Sister Yuan's sake. The old man is annoying."
