Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1292 Date of Obtaining Certificate

   "August 1st is back!" Seeing Xiao Yao coming in, Hu Xuena first smiled and said hello.

  "Master Taishan and Master Taishui are here too!" Xiao Yao smiled and said to Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena, "How are you two recently?"

   "Taishui?" Sun Tingting asked curiously, "Is it my mother? Because the father-in-law is Taishan, so the mother-in-law is Taishui? Is there such a saying or you invented it?"

   "Of course I didn't invent it!" Xiao Yao said, "The earliest source is "Chicken Ribs" by Zhuang Chuo of the Song Dynasty, which is also included in "Modern Chinese Dictionary". You just don't read a book!"

   "Hey!" Sun Tingting patted Xiao Yao dissatisfiedly, "Does memorize a dictionary call reading? Who is like you, is it okay to memorize a dictionary?"

   "Don't you two be busy flirting," Ye Jiaying said to Xiao Yao with a serious expression, "Xiao Yao, come here!"

   "Oh!" Xiao Yao bowed his head and walked to Ye Jiaying.

  Ye Jiaying does not call his nickname or scientific name when there are no outsiders, which is to prepare to teach him his posture. Xiao Yao guessed that it might be because of going to the casino, so he stood in front of Ye Jiaying and prepared to be trained.

"Duoer said that when you were in high school, you made an appointment with those MIT mathematics tops to complete the agreement with them, so you don't go to Europe with us, go to the United States to learn card counting with them, or go to the casino to play. "Forget it," Ye Jiaying said, "but do you have to stay there for that long? For more than a month, we have all returned from Europe, and you are still in the United States. If you were not raised since you were young, we would really think you are addicted Gambling, staying in the casino can't get out!"

  When the news broke on China's Internet that Xiao Yao was lingering in the casino, Ye Jiaying and his party were in Europe, but they still had studios and employees. Their son made such a big news and made a lot of noise on the Internet. Naturally, someone told them. Sun Tingting was by the four parents. After knowing that the four parents knew, Sun Tingting explained to the four parents the reason why Xiao Yao went to the casino.

  Based on their understanding of Xiao Yao, the four parents all accepted Sun Tingting’s explanation and did not call to ask Xiao Yao during that time. But what made Ye Jiaying feel a little dissatisfied was that since Xiao Yao was to verify the feasibility of the card counting method, by the way, to get a feel for what American casinos are like, there should be no need to stay there for so long. Originally, she thought Xiao Yao would fly directly to Europe to meet them after the incident was over.

   "How could it happen," Xiao Yao smiled, "You also said, you raised me so big, will I be addicted to gambling, don't you know?"

"Of course I know you won't be addicted to gambling," Ye Jiaying said, "but you just need to verify that the method of counting cards works, will it take that long? Isn't it just playing in the casino forgotten? You said that you are all about to get married, so why are you still so playful?"

  When Ye Jiaying met Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao was only seven years old. At that time, Ye Jiaying discovered that Xiao Yao, a little guy, didn't need an adult to supervise him. After marrying Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying not only discovered that Xiao Yao didn't need an adult, but they didn't seem to be able to manage it because they wanted to, so they rarely taught Xiao Yao like this. However, this matter is somewhat special from the current situation. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are about to get married. Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena are sitting next to each other. As Xiao Yao's parents, they always have to show this attitude.

   "Yes, I was wrong!" Xiao Yao lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Isn't this just thinking that I'm about to get married, and I'll have to listen to Duoer in the future, so I'll be a little bit willful, and I won't be anymore!"

  Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying have lived together for so many years. You can know the meaning of each other with one look, and naturally know how to behave at this moment. After listening to Xiao Yao's answer, Ye Jiaying's expression really looked better.

   "Cut~" Sun Tingting secretly curled her lips, but she still had to defend Xiao Yao in action and performance.

  Sun Tingting sat next to Ye Jiaying and took her arm and said: "Aunt Ye, Bayi spent so long in the casino, it was actually for our wedding."

  Although they have started to prepare for the wedding, the two have not held the wedding after all. Sun Tingting does not have the cheeks of Xiao Yao, so she called her mother-in-law Ye Jiaying in advance, so she still called her aunt.

   "Oh?" The four parents looked at Sun Tingting curiously, or Ye Jiaying asked, "What do you mean?"

   "August 1 said it," Sun Tingting said, "We will pay for the wedding this time. We don't have to pay a penny from your four elders..."

   "Really?" Sun Zhihao interrupted and asked Xiao Yao, "August 1st, if you don't let us pay, even your parents can't pay a penny?"

   "This, he did tell us that we don't need to pay for it." Ye Jiaying nodded, "But we didn't plan to really not pay a penny!"

   "How can it work?" Xiao Yao said, "I always say what I say, and I do what I say. If I say that you will not be allowed to pay, you will not use your penny."

  "Then what does this have to do with your staying in the casino for so long?" Ye Jiaying said, "Do you want to win the wedding cost by relying on the casino?"

"Yes!" Sun Tingting replied rushingly, "August 1 has a lot of net worth, but several companies, especially film and television companies, have several projects in progress. It is impossible to get money from the company, so the funds can be used at hand. Not much. Bayi went to the casino this time to test card counting, just to see if we can use card counting to win money from the casino. Since we are going to win money, of course we must win as much as possible, so as to finance our wedding. Preparation. He stayed there for so long, just want to win more, and then make our wedding better."

"Rely on going to the casino to win money for the wedding?" Ye Jiaying said, "I think it's better to take advantage of this time to pick up a movie. Even if the movie box office and other proceeds go to the company's account, the pay is always yours. my own."

"He just finished filming that drama, and he will pick up the show right away? Not to mention whether he needs to rest and adjust, even the time is awkward." Sun Tingting said, "Even if he can receive the show right away, he will take a few months. I can’t work on our wedding. The most important thing is that the money he won in the casino this month is definitely higher than the pay for the movie he will play the male lead."

"August 1st," Sun Zhihao said with interest, "Then tell me, how much did you win from the casino when you went to Las Vegas this time? This time we went to Europe and saw a few weddings Locally, the cost of renting the venue is not cheap."

   "I know! On the way back, he already told me," Sun Tingting smiled and stretched out two fingers, "There is this number!"

   "Two million? US dollars?" Sun Zhihao said in surprise, "So much?"

   "No, it's 20 million, US dollars!" Sun Tingting solemnly said.

  "How much?" The four parents said in disbelief.

  "More than 20 million U.S. dollars." Xiao Yao said, "The specific number is 20,638,000."

   "Are you too exaggerated?" Xiao Siqi was surprised, "You won 20 million from the casino a month? Which casino can stand it? Can you come back all the way?"

  "Not a family." Xiao Yao said, "I went to more than 20 casinos in total this month, so the average casino is less than one million, which is actually okay."

   "Dad, what are you looking for when you go to Europe this time?" Xiao Yao continued to ask, "Is twenty million enough?"

   "You don't really plan to spend these two million on the wedding, do you?" Hu Xuena said, "Is it a bit too much?"

  20 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 100 million U.S. dollars in Huaxia’s currency. Although parents hope that their daughters can marry gracefully, they also feel that this expense is a bit too extravagant.

  Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been only a few weddings in the Huaxi performing arts circle that were named "The Wedding of the Century" when reported by the media, and the most cost was just over 100 million. If Xiao Yao really spends 20 million US dollars on a wedding, it will definitely be another "century wedding" in the Chinese entertainment industry.

  More importantly, most of the cost of the previous wedding of a certain star that cost hundreds of millions of dollars was paid by sponsors. The whole wedding was simply a “big show”. Xiao Yao's wedding will definitely not be a show like that. If Xiao Yao spends 20 million US dollars for a wedding, the sensation will definitely be higher than that of the star's wedding. In the eyes of several parents, this is too high-profile.

"Of course it's not all spent on the wedding, and I don't picture that name." Xiao Yao smiled, "I will discuss the details with Duoer. Of course, it is mainly based on Duoer's opinions. Anyway, I will not be stingy. , We must try our best to meet Duo'er's requirements and won't be wronged by Duo'er."

  Of course, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting will not spend 20 million US dollars on a wedding. It's not that the two have not discussed the cost of the wedding. Although there are some differences, they are far less than 20 million US dollars. Sun Tingting linked Xiao Yao's winnings in the casino to the wedding, only to relieve Xiao Yao from the issue of staying in the United States for too long, and to find a reason for him. Xiao Yao knew Sun Tingting's purpose, and of course he would not make random promises in front of the elders.

   "That's okay!" Hu Xuena nodded.

   is neither shabby nor too extravagant and high-profile, mainly based on the opinions of their daughters. Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena are naturally very satisfied with Xiao Yao’s statement.

  The two relatives are satisfied, and Ye Jiaying is naturally also very satisfied with Xiao Yao's performance.

   Seeing that Ye Jiaying’s expression had completely eased, Xiao Yao sat down on the sofa and started the next topic: “What did you fancy when you went to Europe this time? Tell me!”

"You just came back, and you have been on the plane for more than 20 hours, aren't you tired?" Hu Xuena looked at the suitcase Xiao Yao left at the door, "You haven't even packed your luggage yet? Go up and rest? Let's come over today to see you. This matter is not in a hurry, it will be too late for another day.

   "It's okay, I slept on the plane!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I went to the casino to win money this time. I came back to sit in the first-class cabin. The seat is very comfortable and I sleep quite comfortably. I am not tired now."

"Since you are not tired, let's talk about it!" Ye Jiaying said, "But let's not talk about the venues that I visited in Europe this time. Let me first ask, when are you two going to get the certification? It's been half a year, right? You two promised to get the certificate before the wedding."

   "Go tomorrow!" Xiao Yao said immediately.

   Returning to Yanjing this time, Xiao Yao still has one very important thing to do, and that is to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a certificate from Sun Tingting.

  Since Xiao Yao’s successful marriage proposal, when the two received the certificate and when the two held their wedding are both issues of great concern to the family and even the media and fans.

  Compared to holding a wedding, getting a certificate can be much simpler. It is nothing more than a set of procedures for bringing relevant documents such as ID card and household registration book to the Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau to fill in the form, take an oath, and take a photo. Xiao Yao made a successful marriage proposal at the beginning of the Gregorian calendar this year and the end of the lunar calendar last year, so why has the matter of obtaining the certificate been delayed until now?

   Xiao Yao proposed to Sun Tingting at the beginning of the year, which was still January. The parents of the two families have no specific requirements on the time for the two to obtain the certificate, as long as they get the certificate before the wedding, Xiao Yao put the wedding date in the second half of the year, and there is more time.

  After the marriage proposal was successful, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting were first busy with the promotion of the film, and then concerned about the film’s box office performance. Later, Xiao Yao was busy preparing for the TV crew, and Sun Tingting prepared for the reality show. In fact, the two of them have time to obtain the certificate during this time period, but according to the relevant regulations of China, the marriage certificate must be processed at the Civil Affairs Bureau where the household registration of one of the men and women is located. Both of them were from Yanjing. At that time, both of them were working in Shencheng. In addition, this matter was not particularly urgent. They did not want to fly to Yanjing specifically for this matter, so they kept dragging on. Down.

  Now that the filming of Xiaoyao's drama is over, the casino has been to the casino, and Sun Tingting's reality show has ended a long time ago. Naturally, this matter will be taken care of. This is another reason why Sun Tingting and her parents returned to Yanjing's home after their trip to Europe, and Xiao Yao flew directly back to Yanjing from Las Vegas.

  Several parents were very satisfied with Xiao Yao’s answer, but Sun Tingting on the side suddenly shouted, "No!"

  Xiao Yao and the four parents looked at Sun Tingting in surprise, and Xiao Yao asked, “Why not? Tomorrow is not a weekend. The Civil Affairs Bureau will work.”

   "Is there anything you need to pay attention to when you get the certificate?" Sun Zhihao asked Sun Tingting, "You don't mean that you don't need us to pick a lucky day for you on the wedding day. Do you still need to look at the almanac when you get the certificate?"

   "No," Sun Tingting shook her head, "Today is the 30th, tomorrow is the 31st, and the day after tomorrow is August 1st birthday!"

"Isn't that just right?" Hu Xuena said, "You go to get the certificate tomorrow, and you can celebrate your birthday on August 1st the day after tomorrow. It's also a double happiness! Do you want to get the certificate on August 1st birthday and have a real double happiness! ?"

"It's a good idea!" Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "After receiving the certificate, give August 1st a birthday and celebrate together. More importantly, every year after August 1st birthday, it is also the anniversary of your certificate. Don't worry about forgetting the August 1st meeting. Now, it can be regarded as saving trouble for this kid."

"The wedding anniversary is counted as the day of the wedding. Is there an anniversary to celebrate the certificate?" Xiao Yao said, "Besides, you don't know the memory of your son. Ask Doer, since Since we established the relationship, have we celebrated with her every year? But have I forgotten any meaningful anniversary? It's definitely not because I was worried that I would forget it."

   "In fact, it has something to do with the August 1st birthday, but it's not the reason you said." Sun Tingting said, "I can get the certificate the day after tomorrow, or I can get the certificate after the day after tomorrow, but I don't want to go tomorrow."

   "Why?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"Because I am older than August!" Sun Tingting said embarrassedly, "Although it is only a few months old, it is also older. The day after August 1st birthday, if we go to register for the certificate tomorrow, I will be twenty-four years old. One is only twenty-three years old, so we can be a year apart. After tomorrow, we will both be twenty-four and we feel the same age."

   "Huh? Ha!" After hearing Sun Tingting's reason, the others were first taken aback, and then they all laughed.
