Chapter 11 I’ll divorce him when he comes back!
Even if you can't make it up, you have to make it up.
Under Aunt Liu's urging, Xiao Ai managed to write a statement in a very short time.
Of course, it is impossible to write in great detail.
However, in the description, she clearly wrote the address of the village, and also attached the unit number and phone number left by Cheng Yang.
Aunt Liu left.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed Shi Xiaoai to quickly finalize her household registration.
Only when their household registration is settled can the three of them be considered as residents of the alley, and the office can handle matters more smoothly.
So the next morning, Xiao Ai prepared dinner for the two little ones and told them to wait obediently at home, then went to the Youth League Office.
The Youth League Office is on the second floor of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Maybe because the peak of educated youth returning to the city has passed, there are not many people here early in the morning.
Shi Xiaoai quickly got the residence certificate. With it, she could go to the household registration office to apply for food permits, and then get various tickets and buy food.
Looking at the certificate, she was in a good mood.
Just as she was happily preparing to go downstairs, her eyes accidentally fell on the marriage certificate in her hand. Looking at the paper, Shi Xiaoai couldn't help but frowned.
The more I look at it, the more awkward it feels.
In her previous life, she was afraid of marriage and having children. She never imagined that one day she would travel into a book and be tied to a man she didn't know at all, and this bondage might last a lifetime.
This feeling made her more and more angry and depressed the more she thought about it.
Shi Xiaoai immediately decided that when Cheng Yang came, she would go with him to exchange the certificate as soon as possible.
Following the principle of out of sight, out of mind, she stuffed everything in her hands into her schoolbag.
Just then a voice sounded from the front, with uncertainty in the voice.
"Shi Xiaoai? You are Shi Xiaoai, right?"
She looked up quickly and saw a woman with a big belly standing right in front of her.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, with a baby face. She looked a little fat due to her pregnancy, but her complexion was particularly good, rosy and white.
You can tell at a glance that the living conditions are quite good.
While Shi Xiaoai was observing her, the woman had already walked over with a look of surprise on her face.
She looked at Shi Xiaoai and smiled brightly: "Don't you recognize me? I'm Li Qiaoyun, your junior high school classmate. We were in the same class. Do you remember me?"
Looking at her, a vague image appeared in Shi Xiaoai's mind. It was a little girl with pigtails, short and thin, and very shy.
So she nodded: "Remember, we once sat at the same table."
Hearing her say this, Li Qiaoyun immediately became happy.
She grabbed Shi Xiaoai's arm and said excitedly, "I told you that you wouldn't forget me. We had such a good relationship in the past! Even though we haven't seen each other for so many years, I still recognized you at first sight. You haven't changed at all since you were a child!"
Oh, you don’t know. That day, Shi Daxi told me at the company that you would be back soon. I was so happy! I even said I would go to your house to try my luck in the next two days. I didn’t expect to meet you here...”
Li Qiaoyun was obviously genuinely excited, and she started talking non-stop. However, Shi Xiaoai was attracted by the message conveyed by her words.
"Shi Daxi?"
Who was Shi Daxi? She had no memory of this name.
"That cousin of yours, the one he used to call Erzi. He was so happy when your grandfather gave him his job. Now he's working as a handyman in the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant.
The reason the company called him in this time was because their family collected your grandfather's funeral expenses but ultimately refused to pay the crematorium. He said you'll be back soon, and the family wants you to pay for it."
At this point, Li Qiaoyun suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, looked at Shi Xiaoai with an embarrassed look on her face, and asked, "Um, Xiaoai, you don't know about this, do you?"
Shi Xiaoai shook her head: "I don't know."
Li Qiaoyun's face suddenly turned red.
She thought for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Did you just get back? Haven't the union people come to look for you yet?"
"Well, I just got home yesterday."
Li Qiaoyun's face turned even redder.
She helplessly released her arms around Shi Xiaoai and explained dryly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoai, I didn't mean to gossip among your relatives. I was just so happy to see you that I couldn't stop talking."
"It's okay, I didn't think too much about it." Shi Xiaoai took her hand and patted it comfortingly.
She never considered her so-called second uncle's family as any relatives.
Now, after listening to Li Qiaoyun's words, although she spoke half-heartedly, he could still tell that Daxixi and his family had already started to trip him up before he returned.
She would never treat such people as her family.
But this matter seems to be related to the old man's affairs after his death.
The old man was good to the original owner and left the house to her and their two children. So we can't just ignore the old man's affairs and we have to get to the bottom of it.
She tightened her grip on the other person's hand, her expression becoming serious. "Qiao Yun, I hear you say this is related to my grandfather. Please tell me what's going on first, or I'll be in a state of panic."
As Xiao Ai spoke, she looked around, trying to find a suitable place to talk.
But after looking around, there was no place to sit down and rest, not even a snack bar or breakfast stall... where I could treat the other person to a meal.
She couldn't help but look at Li Qiaoyun's bulging belly again, hesitant. "Qiaoyun, will this waste your time? Can your body handle standing for so long?"
Li Qiaoyun, however, wasn't as nervous as Shi Xiaoai. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard her ask, "Oh, you're still so thoughtful after all these years. I'm fine, I'm in good health!"
After saying that, she waved the papers in her hand and said, "I just came here to get a birth permit. I've completed the formalities and am now preparing to go back to the company. How about, Xiao Ai, let's talk while we walk?"
Shi Xiaoai naturally agreed immediately.
Li Qiaoyun did not hide anything from her and quickly told her everything she knew.
From her words, Xiao Ai realized how much effort and trouble her grandfather had put in to leave this house to her.
