The number of people in the hospital cafeteria gradually increased, but Xiao Ai and I slowed down the speed of eating, we had discussed the matter of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, and we all felt that it was necessary to respect some of Yang Jin's opinions. However, when it came time to talk to her about it, we both reverted to our unrelenting nature.

Yang Jin noticed the strangeness of the two of us and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xiao Ai and I put down the chopsticks together, and after looking at each other, I finally spoke: "Mom, we do have something to say to you that we are going to get a marriage certificate later, you may feel a little rushed, and we ourselves feel rushed, but suddenly we have a strong idea of getting married" After a slight pause, I said: "As for the wedding, we will wait until Xiao Ai's father is released from prison before it will be held, can you support our decision?" ”

Yang Jin first looked at me, and then at Xiao Ai, and did not show particularly strong emotions. Yang Qu, who hadn't spoken much, was very emotional and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, your idea is too capricious!" Before, I also asked my sister-in-law, she said, I have to wait, that is, a few days ago, at that time, I also persuaded her that marriage should be sooner rather than later, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you guys will have a whim today! ”

I replied: "Don't make such a fuss, getting married is not acting, you need a script, you need to rehearse in advance, you get married when you feel it, you don't know how rare it is for two people to want to get married!" ”

After I scolded Yang Qu, she suddenly raised her hands, then looked at Yang Jin and said: "Mom, I think I still have a little family status, so I will express my position in this matter first, and I will raise my hands in favor" After saying this, she attached it to Yang Jin's ear again, and said in a very small but audible voice: "Mom, you just agree, and point to my sister-in-law to accompany me to study in the United States next year, if you two turn against each other because of this matter, the last bitter person is me, I myself went to the United States, I am not familiar with life, it is terrible to think about!" ”

After Yang Qu seriously distorted the facts and turned on the flickering mode, I actually looked at Yang Jin a little nervously, because my position has been clearly expressed, although Xiao Ai and I are very determined to get the certificate, but I don't want to have disobedient behavior after Yang Jin recovers from a serious illness. If she does not agree, we can only postpone the collection date indefinitely.

After Yang Jin looked at the three of us in turn, she finally spoke: "My thoughts, I have already expressed it very clearly to you, if your decision is based on happiness, I am willing to support you" After speaking, she looked at Xiao Ai, smiled and said: "I don't want to leave an image of a wicked mother-in-law in your heart, my only request to you is to manage your life well after marriage, Don't follow the old path of our predecessors, which is why I must take over the Tulip Hotel in Jiangqiao, men must be a little ambitious, and the husband and wife are in a balanced position, so that the married life can be a little less risky. ”

"We understand."

Yang Jin nodded, and then drank all the porridge in the bowl that was not finished, and my heart was really relaxed at this time, I glanced at Xiao Ai, she was the same, and it was only then that she was in the mood to have a good breakfast.

After Yang Jin finished breakfast, he wiped his hands with a tissue, and suddenly said to me, "Jiang Qiao, have you been in contact with your cousin recently?" ”

I didn't know what she meant by asking, so I replied honestly: "It's been a busy time, so I haven't been in touch." ”

"After I go abroad, you must contact each other frequently, and Jin Qiu I think you are all children with a pattern, emotional disputes can never compare to the love between people, you move around more, and you can help each other in the future."

"Well, I understand, Mom, Jin Qiu and her cousin's wedding will be held in our hotel, and there is not much time left, if you don't wait for their wedding to be completed before going abroad, there is really no need to rush like this."

Xiao Ai also agreed.

Yang Jin shook his head, then looked at me and Xiao Ai with a smile and said with a smile: "The only ones who can change my time abroad are my son and daughter-in-law, and no one else can do it, you must live well in Nanjing, after deciding the date of the wedding, notify me a week in advance, and I can arrange time to come back to attend your wedding." ”

After breakfast in the hospital cafeteria, we sent Yang Jin back to the "Tulip Hotel", and tomorrow she will leave for a foreign country. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, I always feel that Yang Jin has sacrificed in some things, such as giving up the fruits of his business for so many years, not just for Yang Zonghuai.

Xiao Ai was also aware of it, and she said to me: "Jiang Qiao, I always feel that your mother's decision to go abroad was too hasty. ”

I opened the car window, subconsciously looked at the floor where Yang Jin lived, then lit a cigarette, nodded and replied: "Maybe I don't want to see someone, but I think going abroad is just a choice for her to transition, and she will still come back to settle down in the future." ”

"When do you think she'll be back?"

I smiled: "It must be after we have a child, so let's get more oil, hurry up and get her a big grandson out, and then turn her into a square dancing old lady"

Xiao Ai interrupted: "Don't be serious, your mother is really not the kind of old lady who can have fun with the people in the square." ”

I scoffed and replied, "How much do you know about her, when she used to work in a textile factory, she was an entertainment activist. She followed my dad, and she can be regarded as going out from the grassroots level, but there have been changes over the years, then again, people are really products of the environment! But if the environment can change her once, it will definitely change her a second time, and when the time comes, not only will she be trained to be a square dance old lady, but also your mother, we will also bring her to Nanjing, and let them buy groceries and dance square dances together. ”

"Is there an addiction to being indecent?"

I leaned in front of Xiao Ai and said, "Don't you think that such a picture happens in their lives at all, and it is called life?" They've all been in heaven for too long, and it's time to come down and breathe in the mortal air. ”

"Well, it seems to be quite dramatic, asking them to go grocery shopping and square dancing, haha. Are you retaliating against them for interfering too much with us? ”

"I don't care that much, really!"

"You have."

"I didn't!"

After a few boring arguments, my mood suddenly sank, and I don't know why I thought of my grandmother, who had passed away for a long time. Today, Xiao Ai and I have overcome many difficulties and finally have to get a marriage certificate. If there is anyone to be thankful for among us, grandma must be one, because she is the old man who led us through love and life, and if she had a spirit in heaven, she would definitely be happy for us.

Xiao Ai noticed the change in my mood, and she asked with concern: "I had a good chat just now, why am I suddenly unhappy?" ”

"I just suddenly remembered my grandmother, if she can live a few more years, she can watch me get married and have children, she has only two thoughts in her life, but neither of them can be realized, she must have left with regrets."

Xiao Ai grabbed my heart, and she gave me a reassuring look. I bowed my head, let out a gentle "exhale", smiled again and said: "Maybe we will live a good life, which is the best comfort for her, she will definitely be happy for us now, because we have been living for our own hearts." Today, the road under our feet is something that we have walked out of the cracks of this world, and I really cherish it. ”

"I cherish it too."

After a slight pause, Xiao Ai said again: "Jiang Qiao, let's get the certificate later, let's go see grandma together."

I looked up and looked out through the skylight, and after a long time, I nodded and sighed: "Well, the sky in Nanjing today is so blue!" ”

Today seems to be a good day, and when Xiao Ai and I arrived, the marriage queue had already lined up outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Xiao Ai and I were very consciously at the back, but the anxiety in our hearts was also real. I'm like I've been living in the deep sea for 10,000 years now, and I'm finally going to land, and I need this kind of down-to-earth sense of security so much, because from the moment I get the certificate, I Jiangqiao will become a real family person, and Xiao Ai is the woman who runs with me.

While waiting, Xiao Ai and I didn't say a word, just quietly feeling that we were getting closer and closer to the counter. During this time, I also saw the various states of life. The moment someone got the certificate, they couldn't hold back their joy, and in front of the public, they lost their temper to the point of crying, and when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were silent, and they didn't even pull the other party's hand, of course I know what they got married for, in fact, before they got the certificate, life has carved the heaviest imprint on their bodies.

Gradually, there was only one pair left in front of me and Xiao Ai. The woman looked very decent, but the man was a little bit less meaningful, and at the moment when he was about to stamp, the man suddenly asked the woman: "Su Mei, have you really thought about it?" I may never be able to give you the life you need, I have been struggling in Nanjing for almost ten years, but the pressure on me from this city is still everywhere, I am not a successful man. ”

The woman, named Su Mei, smiled and replied: "In my opinion, you have been very successful, don't let the people behind wait for a long time." ”

The man lowered his head, he looked a little inferior, and in his heart, he probably felt that what the woman had just said was just comforting him. I can understand his feelings, because I also had a woman named Chen Yi in my life.

Su Mei held his hand tightly and said, "Liu Chao, in my opinion, success can be defined in many ways, do you remember?" In the final exam of that year in college, I hung up 3 subjects, it was you who accompanied me to self-study at night every day, guided me, brought me food, I was cold, there will always be hot water you poured for me, because of you, I don't regard the exam as the most boring burden Today, I am a small accomplished radio anchor, that is because I have one of the most majestic behind me, you may say so, a little hypocritical, but you are really the brightest star in my night sky! ”

Just when I was waiting, Xiao Ai beside me was digging left and right for a while, and then said to me with a pale face: "Jiang Qiao, my household registration book seems to be missing!" ”
