The office hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau has been renovated and is more humane than many years ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Shuangchuan never thought that she and Chen Chi would revisit the old place.

Xu Shuangchuan and Chen Chi brought their mother to register their marriage, and half of the hall was a marriage window and half a divorce window. Xuan Chunhua lined up with her daughter and son-in-law with a smile on her face, always facing away from the divorce area, and the pair was either cold-faced or wooden-faced. On the good days of Xuan Chunhua, the stiff atmosphere on the side made people feel disturbed, and she pulled her daughter and son-in-law to talk and laugh, not letting them have time to look over.

Now the office hall is still the same, the decoration is more clear, a calling machine has been added, and the column says marriage registration, divorce registration, supplementary certificates, etc., enter this door, no matter what affairs you do, you must first take a number.

Those who laugh and those who do not laugh enter through this door.

On Monday, there were a lot of people who came to run errands, and the security guard stood dutifully by the calling machine, helping people to pick up the small pieces of paper spit out by the machine. People who are a little older can see the landscape clearly, even if they know at a glance which pair is going to be a newlywed Yan'er today, which pair is going to fly away today, they also have a gentle and friendly expression, and resolutely do not help people press the menu, just wait for the machine to be unresponsive for a long time, then shoot the machine, and then reach to the notch, pinch the exposed narrow edge, so that the ingenuity to pull out, apologetic, the machine is a little slow today.

The person who is going to get married, holding hands, beaming, without complaining, and returning the uncle a smile, and then following the arrow to the left.

Xu Shuangchuan and Chen Chi didn't complain, she waited for Chen Chi to take the small piece of paper from her uncle's hand, followed silently, and the two went to the right.

The office hall is still abominably connected, but the pillar in the middle is pasted with a lot of golden and jade words of family harmony, and a large potted plant of the happiness tree is placed, forming a barrier, and the left and right sides are not easy to visit.

No one will visit either.

Xu Shuang fell through the gaps in the leaves, looking at the happy queue over there.

She and Chen Chi didn't sort out the process, but some people had already drafted the divorce agreement, filled out the application form, and went straight to the window after taking the number, which was very efficient. They sit at a small round table and fill out a set of forms one by one.

Chen Chi didn't do anything.

Xu Shuangchuan raised his eyes and took a look, picked up the pen and wrote one by one. Their divorce agreement is easy to write, they have no children, no real estate, no debts, the car and shares are Chen Chi's labor income, which belongs to Chen Chi, and her salary belongs to her.

"Is that okay?" she pushed.

Chen Chi stared at the paper with lowered eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"If I could, I'd go over there and make a copy. ”

Chen Chi was silent, suddenly pushed away the chair and stood up, pressed his palm on the neatly written divorce agreement, so hard that it seemed to press it under the table, the back of his hand was white, but the front of his slender fingers immediately surged red, he pinched the paper, turned around and left.

Xu Shuangjiang watched him stride towards the corner of the photocopier, paused for a moment, and raised his voice slightly: "I want three copies." ”

The woman at the table next to her looked at her, glanced at Chen Chi's back quickly, and politely withdrew her gaze. At their table, the man was filling out the application form, which seemed to be quite a lot, the man was walking with the pen and the occasional pause in the middle to consider two words, and the woman brought the other forms that her husband had already filled out to the front to review. There was no sadness or joy on their faces, they couldn't see much abnormality, and their expressions were as steady as if they were doing things together at a bank post office.

In fact, Xu Shuangchuan sat in the form-filling area for so long, except for the couple she met at the door just now, and the two were dragged away by the relatives who chased her, she almost never witnessed the noisy dispute again, and the pair left in this half of the hall were as light as boiled water.

Chen Chi was making copies, and there was someone there to help, she lowered her eyebrows and didn't squint.

The two of them had nothing to negotiate with, and they took the number just in time.

The middle-aged aunt behind the counter didn't look smiling, and the people sitting in front of her seemed to be changing one after another, but they all had a calm face, which made her unhappy.

"Mediation consulting services over there, have you been there?"

"When I got the form, the teacher asked, and we agreed. Xu Shuang said softly.

Chen Chi still didn't speak.

"Considered it?" Auntie's gaze rolled on both of their faces.

"Hmm. ”

“…… Okay, are all the documents and materials ready?"

"It's all together. Xu Shuangchuan responded, and reminded Chen Chi sideways, "Take out your ID card." ”

Chen Chi's eyes were fixed on Xu Shuangchuan's face, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few people sitting quietly on the plastic steel chairs behind him, holding a pile of papers and notebooks in their hands, staring at the office counter. He turned his face sideways, pulled out his wallet, and pinched his fingers into the mouth of the mezzanine bag where his ID card was kept.

The small mezzanine is relatively deep, and the ID card is placed inside, and the upper edge only exposes the pocket mouth by one millimeter, which is not much different from other bank cards.

"What about ID cards? You can't get one without one. Auntie said stiffly.

Chen Chi raised his eyes, met Xu Shuang's gaze, glanced at him lightly, and then lightly stared at his wallet, and then lifted his eyelids slightly to look back at his face, so calm that black and white were clear.

He pulled out his ID card and placed it on top of the divorce petition and next to the marriage certificate.

The materials are complete.

The process goes fast. "Signed. ”

Xu Shuang waited a while, but Chen Chi didn't react. She picked up her pen, quickly scanned the words on the paper, and lowered her head to sign her name one by one.

The counter seems to be paved with marble, hard and cold, and after a long time, the touch on the arm has become hot. Chen Chi was in the heat and cold, staring at Xu Shuang's wrist holding the pen without saying a word.

Delicate, fair-skinned, and light in action.

She stopped her pen and looked up at him, pushing the paper and pen towards him.

Xu Shuangchuan couldn't tell Chen Chi's eyes at this time, in fact, their eyes didn't stick to each other, he quickly lowered his eyelids, picked up the pen, and signed his name with a brush.

For some reason, he tilted his cheek slightly, and the deep jaw line in the green stubble was like a thin lead wire covering her heart, making her slowly breathless.

Opposite the window where the certificate was issued, there were a lot of people waiting. Unlike the small round table, where at least pairs sit in pairs to fill out the form, the waiting area here is no longer visible to who and who were once husband and wife, no couples are sitting next to each other, and many people look down at their phones by themselves, not communicating at all.

Xu Shuangchuan and Chen Chi sat in an empty seat, and did not speak, she looked up and stared at the number that kept scrolling on the electronic display screen, while he stared down at the mobile phone and swiped the screen.

Time seems to have passed very long, and it seems to be very short.

"Chen Chi, Xu Shuangjiang?" the clerk compared their ID cards, looked at them carefully, and handed over the two divorce certificates, "Okay, let's take a look, if there are any typographical errors, point them out in time." ”

Two marriage certificates, two divorce certificates.

Xu Shuangchuan remembered that when he got the marriage certificate, although the staff was too busy, he didn't forget to smile like a flower to congratulate him, and wished the two a hundred years of love and happiness.

It turned out that getting a divorce certificate was so dull.

The sun outside the Civil Affairs Bureau was scorching white.

Xu Shuangchuan came out of the air-conditioned hall and stood on the steps, squinting his eyes, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, his head empty and dizzy. She suddenly wanted to change her itinerary and set off tonight.

Chen Chi, who had already descended the steps, turned his head to look at her a few steps away.

Time seemed to abandon her at this moment.
