Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 244 243. Get a certificate?

Li Lei doesn't want to wash the dishes.

After washing for a year, it is rare for his son to come back and take over the work of the dishwasher. He is happy and leisurely, riding a small electric donkey to go out to collect debts.

The new year is the end of the year, and the new year is like a pass.

People who owed rent and debts in the old days had to pay off their debts at this time.

Li Lei doesn't do business, and he doesn't have any debts such as construction funds to urge. He is here to collect rent.

In the early years, the family had a lot of savings. As the head of the family, Li Lei always felt that this money could not be left alone, and needed to be invested.

After thinking about it, I finally made a decision, taking advantage of the boom in the housing market, to buy a storefront.

The reason why he bought that store was because he got inside information from somewhere, saying that the government was going to plan a development zone near there, and that a business district and a pedestrian street would be built soon.

Then this storefront became the only and only failed investment of the Li family in recent years.

To this day, there is no sign of any development zone in the surrounding area, so Li Zhe can't even remember the house number of his own shop in such a place where there is no shit.

Every time Han Mei mentioned it, Lao Li would be caught and scolded.

In a sense, this store is no different from buying an unfinished building. The location is remote and there is no customer flow.

It is not easy to sell or sell, and it is not very easy to rent.

It was not easy for a middle-aged couple to take advantage of it and rent it at a low price to open a takeaway shop without dine-in.

I don't know if the business is good or not, but rent arrears is normal, and Li Lei has to come to ask for it every year.

That's why he was so resistant to Li Zhe's ordering takeaway food - the food made in such a dirty and messy environment was edible?

I am afraid that if I eat it, I will lose my life.

……

When Li Zhe came out after brushing the pot, washing the dishes, and wiping his hands, he glanced at him casually: "Where's Dad?"

"Go out and ask for the bill."

"Oh, when will our Spring Festival couplets be posted?"

"I haven't bought it yet." Han Mei turned on the TV and watched any TV series with relish: "When your dad buys it at night, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. Don't worry."

As a person who doesn't like spending much on weekdays, Spring Festival couplets and wall calendars are one of Li Lei's favorite consumer items.

At the end of every year, he would buy a lot of Spring Festival couplets, and then he would give some to neighbors, neighbors, fathers and folks after posting them.

"No need to buy, I brought some back this year."

Taking out the Spring Festival couplets written by Niu Liang from his bag, Li Zhe trembled: "Isn't the couplets written by my friend much better than those printed on the market?"

Printed Spring Festival couplets are the same, but handwritten Spring Festival couplets have soul.

Han Mei glanced at it, and subconsciously said: "Look at me, when can you practice that dog pagoda?"

"...Who still writes these days."

"You don't even write, boys can't even write a word well..."

Hearing her chatter again, Li Zhe put on the couplet and ran to the opposite door with his shoes on.

The old lady is too noisy, it is better to be a bride.

……

The young couple walked on the street without a destination, just wandering around holding hands.

Lin Youyou looked left and right, there were lights and festoons everywhere in the city, but she always felt that there was no sense of the year, people walking on the road were still in such a hurry.

"Has New Year's Eve in the city always been this boring?"

"There should be an event in two days... Do you have a lot to talk about?"

Li Zhe thought for a moment: "Playing mahjong is quite interesting."

Thinking about it carefully, the Chinese New Year in the countryside is actually more boring, but it is more lively when everyone gathers together.

After all, each family in the city lives in a different neighborhood, and the village houses are almost all next to each other.

Li Zhe didn't celebrate the New Year in the city, but listening to this girl's dictation, it seems that there is not much difference from normal days, except that the BGM of playing on the mobile phone has changed, from various TV dramas to reruns of the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Youyou tilted her head: "I have never played mahjong before."

"It's fun, I'll show you to play next time."

The charm of mahjong is that every card you touch is unknown, and order is reorganized in chaos.

As long as it is something related to luck, it can always attract people's attention.

After all, the more uncontrollable an existence is, the more fascinating it is.

"What are we going to do now?"

At the intersection, there are red lights everywhere.

For a while, he couldn't understand this booming operation. Li Zhe stood on the side of the road, thinking, thinking, and finally turned his head: "Get a certificate?"

Lin Youyou was stunned: "What?"

"Get a certificate."

"...What, what proof."

"Marriage certificate—a small red book, the kind with our photos printed on it." Li Zhe brushed her bangs back, and Li Zhe spoke very calmly: "It seems that the Civil Affairs Bureau will be on vacation in two days."

Holding his hand motionlessly, Lin Youyou was startled, a little dazed.

Then I didn't know what I was talking about: "That seems to be done faster..."

"right?"

"Um……"

"Come on, go home."

"Why are you going home?"

"Take the account book."

"oh oh……"

Nodding her head continuously, Xiao Nizi finally realized what the two of them were talking about, and she was a little dazed.

This topic blurted out, so calm and breezy, so unprepared, it came too fast like a gust of wind.

It feels sudden, but it doesn't seem to be sudden.

I thought I was looking forward to it, but it seemed very indifferent.

……

Han Mei sat on the sofa and was still watching TV, watching the two children sneaking back and then running out like a gust of wind.

Young people are full of energy.

Lin Hongxia thought the same way across the door, watching the two of them running around in the room, and even raised her hand to greet them twice.

As a result, the two of them didn't stop, and ran away after saying a few words casually.

Escaped from home as if eloping, Lin Youyou took out the household registration book from her arms out of breath, her heart was still beating violently: "We... shall we just go get the certificate like this?"

Her voice sounded a little excited and a little nervous, Li Zhe couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise?"

"Shouldn't you tell them first?"

"It's not like they got married."

"..."

This man can always come up with all kinds of weird and fallacious ideas, making people wonder how to respond.

"It always feels a little fast."

Lin Youyou has gradually calmed down. Such a major event in life always feels like a decision made by two people in a flash of thought.

"Anyway, it will be sooner or later. Last time I came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother asked me when I was getting married."

"...My mother seems to have asked."

"Isn't that enough? Anyway, they know it in their hearts, and we didn't elope."

"But it feels like elopement..."

"Isn't that more exciting?"

"..." Lin Youyou grabbed her hair, and realized that as soon as she stood in front of him, she would lose her ability to think: "Then, if we get the certificate, is it considered married?"

"Is there a possibility that the thing we got is called 'knot, marriage, certificate'?"

"..."

"That, that..."

Xiao Nizi said "that" for a long time, and suddenly blushed, faltering and speechless.

"Then what?"

"I... I've... come to my aunt these two days."

Mumbling in a low voice, Lin Youyou's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Cough? Cough cough—"

Li Zhe was choked by a mouthful of saliva, holding on to the electric pole and coughing again and again, finally beckoning to stop a taxi: "It's okay, the future will be long."

"..."

"where to?"

"Master, Civil Affairs Bureau."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the driver’s face is full of red, and he is in a good mood. Hearing that they are going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, he is in a better mood. He raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror, and he said twice: "Married?"

Glancing at Lin Youyou who was sitting beside him tugging at the corner of his clothes, Li Zhe chuckled, "Get the certificate."

Xiao Nizi lowered her head and pursed her lips, feeling her heart beating rapidly.

The closer you are to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the faster you jump.

Even though she didn't know where the Civil Affairs Bureau was at all, she just had that premonition—it's coming, it's coming, it's at the next bend...

The sun is just right and the lanterns are high.

The two paid the money and got out of the car. Looking at the plaque of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the tension along the way suddenly disappeared, and turned into a vague expectation.

Lin Youyou stomped her feet suddenly: "I didn't dress up much today!"

"What to dress up for?"

"Didn't you want to take a photo?" The little girl pursed her lips, a little hard to accept that the photo on her marriage certificate was not the most beautiful.

"No, I have a photo with me."

Li Zhe fumbled in his pocket and took out some group photos. The two were wearing white shirts and smiling sweetly.

Lin Youyou was stunned, she had no memory of taking this picture with him at all: "Where did you come from?"

"I took it before, when I was buying a shirt, I changed the bottom and changed it to red."

When he said this, Lin Youyou slowly remembered, nodded, and after a while, frowned: "You have planned it for a long time!"

"correct."

Li Zhe admitted it generously, without any quibbles: "I have long wanted to marry you back home."

"..."

A punch hit the air, and Comrade Xiaoyou was caught off guard: "Shouldn't you justify yourself?"

"Why do you have to justify? I just want to marry you, and I want to have five children with you..."

Lin Youyou raised her little hand to gag him, and angrily dragged him in: "Getting the certificate is not considered marriage!"

With that posture, others thought that they came to divorce at a young age.

……

Most of the receptionists for marriage registration are older sisters, capable and skilled in business, speaking fast and concisely, explaining the registration process to the two in an orderly manner, and arranging for them to fill in the basic information first, and then copy their ID cards and household registration documents.

Lin Youyou stood the camera on the table, making it easier for the two of them to get into the picture, and then wrote carefully, stroke by stroke, just like filling out the answer sheet for an exam, with beautiful handwriting.

Li Zhe, who was on the side, only held the pen for about half a minute. No matter how he held it, he felt very stiff, not as comfortable as the keyboard.

Lin Youyou glanced at him, and couldn't help but say, "Don't shake your hands."

"No shaking."

"Your words are crooked."

"I'm just ugly."

"..."

"Why, in our dormitory, my handwriting is already the prettiest."

"Are you guys really top scholars..."

Taking it out of his pocket, Li Zhe stuffed a piece of wedding candy into her mouth: "Hey, eat more candy and talk less."

Lin Youyou stared at him with big eyes and small eyes, wondering how many things were still in his treasure bag.

Doraemon?
……

After filling in the information, go to copy the ID card. There is also a red wall for taking wedding registration photos. If you don’t bring your own photo, you can take a photo here, but there is a fee.

Lin Youyou stared at Li Zhe: "Did you already do your homework?"

How does this guy feel that he knows all the procedures and has prepared the corresponding materials early.

Also prepared candies!

Young Master Li leaned over slightly, leaned close to her ear and exhaled: "I even thought about my son's name."

"..."

Gently pinching his waist, Lin Youyou held up a camera to record the vlog.

The eldest sister who was in charge of copying looked at the camera with some novelty: "Is this a video?"

"Yes, record it." Lin Youyou smiled sweetly, and the sweetness was very lethal, and said cautiously: "Can I take a picture?"

"Okay, should we take a picture? After all, it's just this one time." The eldest sister nodded and smiled at her together: "So, you young people still have ideas. Now I want to see myself when I was young. It looks like I can't find a few photos."

"You still look very young now! Here's candy~"

"Ha ha ha, thank you……"

After the copying was completed and all the materials were ready, the two found an empty corner and waited for their number to be called.

A small piece of white paper with marriage management offices and queue numbers printed on it.

Li Zhe squeezed the piece of paper and chuckled: "This is the number plate of true love."

Lin Youyou tilted her leg, put it lightly on his lap, and hummed softly while holding the camera:

"Whoever I meet, what kind of dialogue will I have.

The person I am waiting for, how far in the future is he.

I hear the wind, from the subway and the sea of ​​people.

I lined up, holding the number plate of love~"

"nervous?"

Hearing her trembling voice, Li Zhe tilted his head and rubbed her little head twice.

Xiao Nizi nodded lightly, leaned against his shoulder, raised the little piece of paper to look at it from time to time, waiting to be called.

The yearning for happiness is always urgent.

After a while, what seemed like a century, the two finally heard their numbers on the radio.

While walking towards the window, Lin Youyou reached into Li Zhe's pocket, grabbed two candies, and handed them to the lady in charge of registration: "Here are the candies."

"Thank you~ give me the materials, and your photos. I want three."

Pushing those materials in through the window, a moment later, a marriage registration notice and a marriage registration personal credit risk notice were handed out from the window.

"Take a look, both of you. After reading it, sign below and write today's date."

The two glanced at it briefly. The people who read this article wanted to sleep, so they simply stopped reading and signed their names with their own pens.

After signing, he handed over a marriage registration review processing form with a photo of the two together: "There is also this one to check to see if there is any error in the personal information, and if it is correct, sign your name in each box. "

This time, the two compared it carefully, and after confirming that their information was correct, they signed again.

Every name is signed very solemnly.

Another box of ink pads was pushed out of the window: "Stretch out your right thumb and press your handprint on the blank space of each signature."

Looking at the red ink pad, the two looked at each other. Compared with signing, this kind of operation seems to be more ceremonial.

The young couple by the window next to them was obviously more nervous than them, and the girl kept crossing her arms and pinching them non-stop.

After all the formalities were completed, soon, the household registration booklet and ID card were returned intact, along with two small red booklets with the name of the holder and their registrations written on them. The date, and a photo with a red background of the two cuddling each other.

The whole process was very fast, so fast that it was shorter than the time they waited just now, so fast that life had leaped to a new stage in this instant.

It's almost... unbelievable.

Everything today is incredible.

Holding the certificate in both hands, Lin Youyou read it over and over for a long time with just a few lines of words, and her words were a little knotted.

"Okay, I have already helped you push the marriage status to the police."

"Oh... ok... ok... thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two stumbled out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sun was still bright, the sky was blue and the wind was light.

Lin Youyou held up two red books, her blue hair fluttering, her eyes narrowed in the sunlight.
