Chapter 33: Go home and get your certificate
At the end of March, Zijun and Zhou Can returned to Hunan together. Friday night train, planning to spend the weekend at home. Then, on Monday, he received the certificate and took Chen Zhili and his wife back to Guangzhou. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law standing at the door of the house, Chen Zhili was surprised, "Why did you two come back?"
"Dad, I think-" Originally, Zijun planned to talk to his parents on the phone, but Zhou Can said that this was too insincere, and he told his parents in person when he went back. As soon as Chen Zhili suddenly asked, Zijun was a little speechless.
"Dad, I want to talk to you alone. Zhou Can took over the conversation at the right time. Chen Zhili glanced at him in surprise, and silently led Zhou Can into the bedroom.
"Junjun, why don't you say hello when you come back? Aren't your father and I about to pass over, why are you coming back at this time? Is there something wrong?" As soon as Chen Zhili closed the door, Wang Lanfang asked a series of questions.
"Mom, let's wait for Zhou Can to come out later. "It was originally a very straightforward thing, but when I got home and met my parents, I don't know why I was a little weak-hearted. It's not easy for her parents to raise her, she is, she said that she was going to marry herself, how could she feel very unfilial.
"If you're hungry, Mom will cook something delicious for you. "It's not early, it's not too late, it's not long after breakfast, and it's not time for lunch yet.
"Mom, I'm not hungry. By the way, have you packed your things?"
"There's nothing to clean up, it's just-" Wang Lanfang looked around the room, and the rest of the words were not spoken.
"What's the matter, Mom, are you reluctant to go home?"
"It's a little ......" Although the daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law are all over there, they have to leave home. I really have a contradiction in my heart, I want to go but I can't go home, I really hate to be divided into two halves, half at home and half outside.
"It's okay, Mom, if you and Dad are really not used to getting used to it, I'll send you back when the work over there is taken care of. "I heard Zhou Can say that Wang Tao will go to Guangzhou at the beginning of next month.
"No, no, I'm still waiting to hold my eldest grandson!" When I thought of my white and chubby grandson, I didn't seem so reluctant.
After a while, Zhou Can walked out of it, and Chen Zhili called Zijun in with an inexplicable face.
"Junjun, have you really thought about it? Get the certificate first, don't do wine?"
"Dad—" Does Dad, disagree? Why is his face so serious.
"Okay, Dad doesn't mean anything else, Xiao Zhou is a good one, you marry him, Dad don't worry. Dad just feels sorry for you. Chen Zhili thought that his daughter would go out to work at such a young age, and now she is going to get married. Over the years, she has always taken care of this family, and has never asked for anything from this family. Sometimes children are too worry-free, and parents feel more and more guilty.
"Dad, what are you talking about, aren't I pretty good now?"
"Okay, good, good ......," Chen Zhili said, his voice a little choked. Zi'an got married last year, and the money he saved for several years was spent on it. His daughter got married in such a hurry, and he didn't have time to prepare anything. He knew that the children had their own money, and he just wanted to save some dowry for the children himself.
Zijun and Chen Zhili came out of the room, and Zhou Can had already left. After a while, Zhou Can and Zhou Jianguo came over and brought a matchmaker to hire them. The wedding can be a little later, the two children are getting married, and the dowry must be sent in advance.
In fact, his salary card has long been handed over to Zijun, and these are much more than the dowry. But these forms are another sense of respect, a kind of respect for Zijun and her parents. They are all from Dragon City, so everything naturally comes according to the customs of Dragon City. The amount of the bride price is also according to the current standard.
I have to say that Zhou Can really put his heart into this area. When he came back to get the certificate, he had already told his parents that the dowry had been prepared in advance. Without today's experience, Chen Zhili naturally felt uncomfortable, how could the daughter he had worked so hard to raise say that he would marry him? There were too many, and he didn't want it, he just married his daughter, not sold his daughter. Besides, their old Chen family is not short of these dollars now.
After Zhou Can returned home with his parents, Chen Zhili's face finally softened. is married, and her daughter is someone else's family, although she is reluctant to marry her daughter, but fortunately, she is not far away. It's just that I didn't have a wedding, and I still owe a little bit after all.
Rural people, especially in those days, it doesn't matter whether they go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate or not, whether they can do it or not is the key. If you have a drink, it means that you are really married, and if you don't have a drink, who knows if you are married or not, you will always take out the marriage certificate to others if you meet someone.
Zijun said that he was too busy with work now, and it was really not that Zhou Can was unwilling to do it. Besides, once you get a license, you are protected by the law, which is much more reliable than running a wine. In the end, she directly took out the bank card that Zhou Can gave her, "Mom, your son-in-law's money is in my hands now, what are you worried about?"
"Really, Xiao Zhou's money is in charge of you?"
"Of course, it's been a long time for me. Mom, our family is in charge of your money, and your daughter is married, of course, she has to be in charge. "Zijun didn't care how much money Zhou Canka had, let alone spent it. However, if she is really married, she plans to spend a flower, because a certain man said that he will support the family in the future. Although she can afford to support herself, he is willing to support her, and his money is spent as she wants, how can she feel so happy!
"You are a good person, you have found a good son-in-law for your mother," Wang Lanfang smiled with a smile in her eyes as soon as she talked about her son-in-law, "I hope that your sister will also find such a good son-in-law to come back." Then our family will be complete!"
"Don't rush it," Chen Zhili was in a bad mood when he thought that his eldest daughter was about to get married, "let her stay at home for a few more years." ”
"You old man, what are you doing at home when your daughter is older? No, I have to pay more attention to her......" Zijun shook her head and laughed when she heard it, she is a mother, no matter how she can't change this problem. It's a shame that she is about to get married, otherwise she will be nagged to death by her mother.
Early on Monday morning, Zhou Can and Zijun packed up and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau. When he went out, Chen Zhili stuffed a few packs of cigarettes and a handful of candy in Zhou Can's pocket, saying that it was to make the staff happy.
Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two looked at each other and smiled, and a kind of happiness flowed in them. "Daughter-in-law, let's go home ......"
Zijun blushed, remembering the first time he called her daughter-in-law, and now, finally, it was indeed his daughter-in-law......
Zhou Jianguo and his wife have already prepared a red wedding quilt for them, which is dazzling and festive, indicating their prosperous future.
