"From now on, the day after my birthday will be our wedding anniversary."
The girl looked at the marriage certificate in her hand like it was a treasure, liking it very much.
Chen Lu glanced at the distant sun; the weather was lovely today. "When are we having the wedding?" he asked.
He wasn't in a hurry, but he couldn't help asking anyway.
Obtaining a marriage certificate signifies legal recognition.
A wedding is a way to announce the marriage to all relatives and friends, gaining social recognition.
Just like how people rarely hear about someone's child getting a marriage certificate, they hear more about someone's child getting married or having a wedding.
Only when both processes are completed can the project be considered complete.
"Should we postpone the wedding?" Liang Zhirou's voice trailed off, as if afraid of upsetting him. "I'd like to wait until early next year, or until after my junior year, when I don't have to go to school anymore..."
"Why?"
Liang Zhirou turned her face away, too embarrassed to speak. The words she was holding back were tinged with a blush that slowly crept onto her pretty face.
Chen Lu seemed to be thinking about it, but still subconsciously said, "Okay, if you want to wait a little longer, then wait a little longer."
It's already October. Let alone the beginning of next year, even if Liang Zhirou finishes her junior year, it will only be a little over half a year at most.
Getting married is a big deal; it involves contacting wedding planning companies and choosing an auspicious date, all of which take time to prepare.
Moreover, he also wanted to have the wedding room ready before the wedding.
"Quickly take a picture and send it to Auntie." Chen Lu still felt that this matter was more important right now.
The girl nodded gently, and only sent the photo after taking a satisfactory picture.
Xiao Xunfang wasn't used to using WeChat, so she called him shortly after receiving the message.
On the phone, Liang Zhirou spoke and laughed, while Chen Lu seemed a little awkward, listening quietly and only occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Because he suddenly realized that he wasn't thick-skinned enough to call her "Mom" on the spot.
......
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xunfang's lips twitched slightly, then a faint smile appeared on her face.
She sat back on the sofa and picked up the photo frame from the coffee table.
In the photo, the man has a handsome face and looks lean and capable.
"Honey, Zhirou is getting married."
She spoke slowly in a hoarse yet gentle voice.
"Don't you think it's going by really fast? It feels like just yesterday that our daughter was learning to cook, standing on a little stool and holding a spatula."
"You were about to leave back then, yet you still couldn't let go of her. See, you were worrying for nothing! Zhirou is so happy now."
Even if we can't help her in any way, our daughter has grown up well on her own.
"Zhirou earns her own money, found a good boyfriend, and is in no way inferior to other girls who are pampered by their parents..."
She kept talking with a silly smile on her face, then suddenly burst into tears.
......
Instead of going home, the two drove to Chen Lu's parents' house.
As I walked in, I saw Wang Xiaoxia bending over, mopping the floor. Her long hair was styled into a bun at the back of her head for easy work, just as she had done all these years.
The familiar scene made Chen Lu feel as if he had returned to his childhood.
But upon closer inspection, there are differences; Wang Xiaoxia is no longer young.
No matter how beautiful a person is, the years will still leave their mark, and no one can escape it.
Chen Lu looked at the crow's feet at the corners of his mother's eyes, then suddenly took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"mom."
"Um?"
"I am married!!"
Chen Lu shouted, his eyes welling up with tears.
