Before the implementation of online office, registering a marriage was a manual task.

Needless to say, you have to go back to the place of household registration to issue a certificate of unmarried, and even take a photo of your ID must go to a designated photo studio, and you will not be allowed to bring your own photos in the past - these are just a few of the most important procedures, and there are all kinds of strange procedures, and they are different from place to place.

After a series of processes are completed, it will take another day to complete the marriage inspection, then watch the old and outdated pre-marital education videos, and get the certificate of consent to marriage before registering.

Every process, every unit, may get you stuck, and it is common for a stamp to be dragged for a few days.

This is still a marriage registration in the city, and it is even worse in rural areas!

Some localities even want to check whether your family's agricultural tax has been paid off, and only after the three mentions and five uniforms are paid are completed, will the village issue you a letter of introduction. If you go to another department, it will make you pay inexplicable fees, and even ask you to buy some kind of insurance, and if you don't buy insurance, you won't be allowed to get married.

In the mid-to-late 90s, there was a news report about rural marriage, which caused a social sensation. The content is that a small couple in the village got married, and from writing the marriage application to getting the certificate, it cost more than 3,000 yuan inside and out, which is equivalent to the total annual income of a farmer.

Therefore, in the 90s, some farmers only put wine on the table and did not register, and the marriage certificate was too expensive.

Song Weiyang directly chose to go home, took the household registration book and ID card, and came to the neighborhood committee before the Spring Festival holiday. There is only one aunt on duty here, and it is strange that she is bored, she doesn't even have an office computer, so she can only pass the time by knitting sweaters.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, good morning!" Song Weiyang said with a smile.

The aunt looked up and immediately said excitedly: "It's Boss Xiao Song, sit down quickly, I'll pour water for you!"

Song Weiyang said: "No need, I will ask you to help me do something." ”

The aunt smiled all over her face: "If you say anything, I'll do it for you right away." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Give me a certificate of unmarriage." ”

"You're getting married?" the aunt immediately gossiped, "Which girl has this blessing?"

Of course, Song Weiyang will not tell the truth, otherwise he would not have to wait until the Chinese New Year, and it would spread all over the nearby streets tomorrow. He said casually: "I'm going abroad to participate in an event, it's official, and I have to get some unmarried certificate." Do you think that's?"

The aunt really believed it, and echoed: "Bureaucratic style, China is like this." ”

Song Weiyang took out a product packaging box: "This is a Shenzhou repeater, which can help children learn English, Zhang Xiaoxiao took it back to his grandson to try the effect." ”

The aunt was suddenly even more happy, accepted it while refusing, opened a letter of introduction in minutes, and asked if she needed to attach other proofs.

Song Weiyang went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with a street introduction letter, and as a top celebrity in the city, he was recognized by the staff in minutes. He continued to fool around, saying that he bought a house in Shenghai, where the requirements were stricter, and a certificate of unmarriage was required to transfer the house - in fact, it was not necessary to buy a house in most cities at this time.

Running the department to stamp is quite a headache for ordinary people, but Song Weiyang directly brushed his face and gave the green light all the way.

even heard that Song Weiyang was here in person, and the department leaders hurried back to the unit, and they had to handle it for Song Weiyang in person, and they could use this matter to brag about it when they turned around.

After completing all kinds of formalities one after another, Song Weiyang went home for the New Year with peace of mind, just waiting for the Spring Festival to go to Rongcheng to get a marriage certificate.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, Song Weiyang followed his parents to his grandparents' house.

Grandma is still very strong, but grandpa fell some time ago, and deliberately hid from his daughter and son-in-law for fear of delaying their work. The old man is recovering very slowly after breaking the bone, and he is still on crutches, and his mental head is not as good as before, as if he has aged ten years all of a sudden.

Two cars drove slowly on the village road, one in front was Song Shumin's Santana 2000, and the other in the back was Song Qizhi's Audi A6.

Along the way, there are large patches of fruit trees, mainly oranges and yellow peaches, most of which will be sold to the Xifeng Company, and it can be said that half of the farmers in the village are working for the Song family.

The dilapidated house of the village committee has been turned into a small two-story western-style building, and there is also a vacant lot for parking lot.

Although the Song family did not take special care of their relatives, Song Weiyang's cousin still became the village party secretary. This bastard has been taught a lesson by Song Shumin twice, and he doesn't like to fight as much as he used to, and he doesn't dare to bully men and women in the village and cause trouble, but he will definitely be able to eat a lot of gray income.

The second uncle was deliberately suppressed by the Song family, and he was not promoted for several years, and he was still the deputy mayor in charge of cultural and educational propaganda, sitting in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers all day long. Moreover, he is specially responsible for receiving and accompanying leaders, no matter which level of leader comes down to inspect, the town will let him be in charge of the reception, by the way: "This is Song Weiyang's second uncle." ”

Therefore, although this guy's official position is not big, he knows a lot of leaders. I usually go to the bureau-level units in the city to do things, and the shelf is also held, and I directly call the directors brothers.

The second uncle and cousin's family have become the local overlords, if it weren't for Song Shumin's close attention, he would have known what had happened.

As the car drove past the village committee building, a village cadre immediately ran upstairs, knocked on the door and shouted: "Village chief, your aunt and uncle are here!"

"Got it," my cousin dialed his phone slowly, "Secretary Hu, my aunt's family has arrived, you can leave there." ”

Secretary Hu is the number one in the town, and he has no other ideas, just to take the opportunity to mingle with Song Weiyang's father and son. This Secretary Hu took his subordinates and drove to the village to send warmth during the Spring Festival, visit the lonely and widowed elderly, comfort the families of martyrs or something, and by the way, he "encountered" the father and son of the Song family, shook hands and said a few words.

Song Weiyang smiled and didn't speak, and gnawed on the apple vigorously.

Song Qizhi didn't really want to deal with this kind of little bureaucrat who "likes to do things", so he chatted casually, and then took his wife and children to hide in the back room.

Only Song Shumin did not refuse, and his speech and demeanor were very natural. He casually chatted about the development of Sili and Eight Townships, and said some words of encouragement and affirmation, with a smile on his face in the spring breeze, he directly made this Secretary Hu fluttering, and had the illusion that he had become friends with Boss Song and was highly affirmed by Boss Song.

"Mom, why didn't you and Dad eat the supplements I bought last time?" Guo Xiaolan complained in the house.

Grandpa sat on a wicker chair with a cane, grinning and smiling: "They are all half-cut people, and what they eat is a waste, so don't buy such expensive things in the future." ”

My grandmother also said: "Life is good now, and I eat meat several times a month, which I would never have thought of 20 years ago." Eating meat every once in a while is not supplemented? It's better than any supplement. ”

Guo Xiaolan had a great headache about this, she wanted to take her parents to live in the city, but the second elder was unwilling. She often buys some good things and comes back, but the things she uses are not opened, and the food is always there, and the two old people have been thrifty to the bones.

Song Weiyang finished eating an apple, and Secretary Hu also said goodbye with great eyesight.

As soon as Secretary Hu left, the second uncle's family appeared on the back foot, and he was very attentive to all kinds of sycophants. Only the cousin of the second uncle's family is more introverted, and he is timid to even shout people, and as soon as he enters the house, he goes to the kitchen to help wash vegetables and cook.

The uncle's family soon came, and even the eldest cousin, who was already married, came back with her husband and children to visit relatives. The second cousin entered Xifeng after graduating from secondary school, and her ability was quite reluctant, coupled with her relatives, she has now become a middle-level cadre in the branch. This family is all honest and sincere, only the little cousin has a genetic mutation, and he seems to be a nerd, but in fact, he is very casual, usually either reading and writing homework, or he can only be found in the game hall.

Well, just blow up that cousin, I don't know if I can play games all the way to the University of Electronic Science and Technology.

"Cousin, there is an Internet café in the town," the little cousin came to Song Weiyang's side excitedly, "Did you invest in the company that made "Swordsman Love"?"

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "There are shares." ”

The little cousin hurriedly asked, "Then does your company have any other games?"

Song Weiyang didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Didn't you open a supermarket for your father at the train station? Why are you still studying in the town?"

The little cousin explained: "I will be in the third year of junior high school soon, and I am too lazy to transfer schools, so I will move to the city when I am admitted to the second middle school of the city. ”

"City No. 2 Middle School is a provincial focus, so you are so confident?" Song Weiyang said.

The little cousin scratched his head: "It should be fine." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Internet cafes in the city can be connected to the Internet, and online games are more fun than stand-alone games. But you kid is too playful, don't indulge in it in the future, beware of your dad hanging you up and beating you. ”

"I always use my spare time to play games," the little cousin suddenly pointed into the distance, "Hey, whose car is that?

Song Weiyang looked up and immediately complained: "Grass, when you come back from driving a sports car in Hong Kong City, you are not afraid that the chassis will be scraped off." ”

The owner of this sports car is Mr. Guo Xiaochun, the legal representative of Taurus Capital, and now he has also become an "elite" in the financial investment industry, at least he is no longer regarded as a big straw bag by his peers in the circle. If it is changed to ten years later, this guy will be detained by the traffic police every minute, because the cars in the port city are all right-hand drive, and it is likely that they will not be able to drive into the customs.

The poor driver drove thousands of kilometers on the left-hand drive road, and he had to worry about the ultra-low sports car chassis being scratched at all times.

"Ding!"

The uncle was still so coquettish, he lit a cigarette when he got out of the car, and the steel silver-plated lighter made a crisp sound. He has only restrained himself in terms of women, and he is still the one he met in Hong Kong City before, and he has officially obtained a marriage license.

The people in the village have been watching, and the development of the Song family is the ability of the people, but Guo Xiaochun's development is very awkward. Because this guy is too out of tune, he eats, drinks and has fun all day long like a second-rate child, and now he has become the best one among the three brothers of the Guo family.

The brother-in-law came over with his wife in his arms, greeted acquaintances everywhere, and finally said to Song Weiyang: "The car I just picked up last month, isn't it very stylish?"

Song Weiyang teased: "People buy sports cars and drive them themselves, what's the matter with you getting a driver?"

"Nonsense, this trip has run 4,000 kilometers, and I won't be tired of driving it myself. The uncle replied as a matter of course.

Many years later, highways were built everywhere, but in fact, there were only 2,000 kilometers, but now the mileage has directly doubled.

The Guo family's Spring Festival party this year is simply envious. The daughter and son-in-law and the two grandsons are promising, don't mention it, the boss of the Guo family runs a supermarket near the train station, the second child of the Guo family is the overlord of the town, and the third child of the Guo family has simply become a big money in Hong Kong.

"The Guo family's ancestral tomb is smoking, Guo Siye buried it well, and asked Mr. Feng Shui to see a treasure land, which was originally the first thing my second uncle looked at. ”

"The fart is buried well, and the daughter is well married. If Song Shumin hadn't been his son-in-law, how many of his sons would have been able to make a difference?"

"That's a blessing for everyone. When Song Shumin was an educated youth, he was so hungry that he stole two cabbages from your family's own land, and you chased people from the brigade to the commune with a flat shoulder. ”

"What two cabbages? He also stole a handful of noodles and two taels of lard!"
