CHAPTER XVIII
I'm getting married.
Just a week ago, I had to put my marriage plan on my agenda. Who would have thought that in less than seven days, I would really be getting married.
Does this count as a wish come true?
I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't know if it was or not.
The next morning, before six o'clock, I washed up and sat on the balcony waiting for dawn. A few years ago, the history of Chinese film and television dramas finally ushered in a phenomenal IP drama of joy and prosperity after continuing the 1998 Huanzhu Gege.
My friends and I connect at 8 o'clock every night to catch up on the show. One night, I happened to catch up with such a clip, in which a woman cried to another woman: Do you know what it's like to wait until dawn from dark?
I was the first to laugh.
Mosquito is a little sad: a woman who does not fall in love for a long time is equivalent to continuous self-hypnosis of self-enclosure and self-hypnosis of body and mind, and over time, she will have an indifferent attitude towards the joys and sorrows of all love. Fox, that's you.
Kidney Beans disagrees: according to official statistics, the divorce rate is now getting higher every year. Personally, I think a big part of the reason is that many people don't understand the relationship between love and marriage. To be responsible, not all marriages come from love, and not all love leads to marriage. Even if it is a couple in love, except for themselves, who knows what kind of ghost they are pregnant with in this relationship? Therefore, a woman who has not been in love for a long time cannot specifically refer to a single woman. It could be mosquito you, or me, or Garfield.
Kidney Bean's menacing rebuttal was like the purple gold bowl in Fahai's hand, and he immediately accepted our three little snakes.
A month after the incident, we finally know how Kidney Bean felt that night, thanks to the divorce battle she had with her husband for more than half a year.
After another half a month, Kidney Bean passed by our city on a business trip. At that time, Garfield was studying in other places, and I didn't have a house of my own, so Kidney Bean followed me back to Nanako's house.
We talked a lot in one bed. Of these many words, most of them are kidney beans talking, and I am responsible for listening.
"Fox, it's uncomfortable to wait from dark until dawn. ”
As soon as I was in the bed, I wrote down this sentence.
Many years have passed, and I still still don't understand why women can't wait during the day just because men wait from dark until dawn?
It is not until today that I understand that the body cannot be the master of the mind or not.
I watched the darkness and desertion of the city for an hour and a half before I saw a glimmer of white light on the horizon.
From my house to the Chengnan Civil Affairs Bureau, there are three buses that do not have the same name as the direct bus, but I walk, and it is only half an hour away. I decided to save the two dollars for a bus ticket and go to the wonton restaurant for a breakfast with eggs.
Before I went out, I called Nanako. Whether she admits it or not, the lack of sleep in the elderly is quietly bothering her.
At this point, since five years ago, she has been sitting on the orange sofa in the living room watching the morning soap opera. When I called, she was surprised. Like most Chinese mothers, I began to worry about my daughter, who never called her so early, if something was wrong?
I only told her that I would take Jiang Beisheng home for dinner at noon. She was so happy that she danced as her uncle next door when he found a young wife.
I suddenly had a faint worry.
After hanging up, it took me five minutes to think about it, but I chose to put on that long fiery red trench coat and go out.
A woman's romantic cells have nothing to do with whether they love or not.
Walking to the gate of the community, I invariably had a longing, thinking that Jiang Beisheng would park the car at the place where I got off yesterday like the male protagonist in an idol drama.
Obviously, it's really just my thoughts.
I wrapped up my trench coat tightly and strode towards the alley wonton shop.
After three minutes after nine o'clock, I sat in the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau for thirty-four minutes, and Jiang Beisheng looked tired.
This is the truest reaction between a man who lacks a sense of ritual and a woman who values it.
I'm a bit of a fire.
The certificate officer of the Civil Affairs Bureau looked at Jiang Beisheng, then at me, and asked uncertainly: "The two of you...... It's true...... Are you going to get married?"
I snorted coldly, slammed my elbow on Jiang Beisheng's arm, gritted my teeth and said, "What about you?"
Jiang Beisheng changed his sitting posture and said, "I am." Whether she is or not, I don't know. ”
The certificate officer frowned: "It's still early, or ...... Why don't you two go over there and take a break, and by the way, think about it again?"
I rolled my eyes: "Think about it." What's there to think about?"
Jiang Beisheng frowned coldly: "She said she didn't have to think about it, but she really didn't need it, just do it." ”
"That'...... Did I really stamp it?"
The certificate officer held the seal and asked again.
I snorted anyway, "Cover it." ”
Not to be outdone, Jiang Beisheng also snorted: "Cover it." ”
The certificate officer swallowed his saliva, put his hands behind, and said worriedly: "It's done, congratulations to the two." ”
With a stiff smile, I took the red book from his hand and muttered unpleasantly, "What is there to congratulate?"
Jiang Beisheng was stunned for a moment, and for three seconds, he smiled embarrassedly: "Coincidentally, I just wanted to say this." We are really a pair of souls and made in heaven. ”
I gave him a blank look, lowered my head and carefully checked the red book, and the person was stunned: "You...... You're only ...... this year Three...... Thirty-two?"
"Hmm. ”
"Than ...... ...... younger than me."
"Hmm. ”
"Three?"
"Hmm. ”
I opened my mouth, my face pale.
Jiang Beisheng glared at me: "Do you mind?"
I nodded.
One summer many, many years ago, without warning, I had a crush on a young boy. The results were bleak and unbearable. Since then, I have had a deep-seated prejudice against young men.
I haven't remembered this for many, many years.
Today, I suddenly remembered that it was still very unpleasant.
The man next to him refused to be considerate of women from the inside out, and at this time, his not very friendly face was like a moon gnawed by a tengu, darkening little by little, and said coldly: "Are you leaving?"
The certificate handling staff was taken aback.
I was taken aback.
It seems that it is difficult to fight for an answer to whether a married man or a woman should follow the traditional principle of male and female or male and female, who pay attention to their own abilities. But Jiang Beisheng is right in one sentence, at my age, I have indeed attended more weddings than funerals.
So, I've heard the newlyweds say this, why is it time to get married, I've heard the newlyweds say this, why did they choose him? It's rare, and the newlyweds have said this, and they are not dissatisfied, and both parents are very satisfied...... There are many opinions, and it is true that I have never heard of anyone getting married or divorced because of the age difference between the two parties.
After exhaling, I asked bitterly: "After receiving the marriage certificate on the front foot, and getting a divorce on the back foot, comrade, may I ask, am I divorced or unmarried?"
"Marriage is not a child's play. Two, if you still don't change your mind and insist on divorce after careful consideration, then please go to the divorce window and get a number to queue up. I'm only married. As for the question of this lesbian, please go to the information desk. ”
The certificate officer made a gesture to please leave with a black face.
Jiang Beisheng shrugged: "Divorce window, uh, I saw it, there, let's go." ”
I gritted my teeth: "Whoever doesn't leave, who is grandchild." ”
