Chapter 128: Refusal to apply for a certificate
When there is still half a month before the National Day, the preparations for Liping and Mengdu's marriage are basically ready.
Under the overall arrangement of Hao Desheng, the twenty tables of wedding wine at the Xiaonanhai Hotel were set;
The Zhang family bought a dowry for their daughter Liping's marriage;
The mayor's wife bought a gift for her daughter-in-law;
In the new house used by Mengdu and Liping for their wedding, Hao Desheng also arranged expert manpower to complete the final arrangement on September 28th.
According to Vice Mayor Wang's request, when Mengdu and Liping get married, like many children get married, dozens of welcoming teams used to show off and show off, as well as the project of driving around the city for a week after picking up the bride, will not be arranged.
In a word, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed!
What do you owe?
It turns out that the legal documents for Mengdu and Liping's marriage have not yet been applied!
This is no small matter!
Without legal documents, how can the bride and groom get married?
Since Vice Mayor Wang has handed over the major event of Mengdu's marriage to himself, there is absolutely no way to go wrong with such a major event as applying for a marriage certificate!
Hao Desheng asked Mengdu and learned this information from Mengdu, and his heart immediately became anxious!
That night, before Mengdu had dinner and didn't go out, Hao Desheng went to Wang's house on purpose.
After entering the Wang family, Hao Desheng first greeted the mayor's wife and explained his intentions.
Then, he called the mayor's wife and Mengdu to the living room, and after the three of them sat down on the sofa, Hao Desheng asked Mengdu:
"Mengdu, the preparations for your marriage with Liping are basically ready now. I want to ask, when are you and Liping going to get a marriage certificate? ”
Who knew that after listening to Hao Desheng's question, Mengdu actually shook his head and said:
"Uncle Hao, I've told Liping several times, and Liping always says that it's too late to get the marriage certificate, so there's no need to worry. Therefore, I don't know when Liping plans to get a marriage certificate. ”
"What do you say? Liping and you haven't decided when to get a marriage certificate? ”
After listening to her son's answer, the mayor's wife asked Mengdu in great surprise.
"She said it's not in a hurry, what can I do?"
Mengdu choked at his mother.
"Well, Mengdu, if you said a few days ago that you are not in a hurry to get a marriage certificate, then you still said it in the past. However, now that there are only ten days before the National Day, if you don't get a marriage certificate, I'm afraid it will be too late! ”
Hao Desheng saw that Mengdu was not talking to his mother in harmony, so he took the words from Mengdu.
From the perspective of Hao Desheng's personal work style, he has a good habit of doing things:
No matter when or what he does, he likes to be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, and like to leave plenty of leeway.
Now that I heard the dream that I don't know when I can go to get a marriage certificate with Liping, Hao Desheng is starting to feel anxious.
"Uncle Hao, I also hope to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. However, to get a marriage certificate, Liping and I must go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together! ”
Yumedu replied helplessly.
"Yes, both men and women must be present to apply for a marriage license. It's just, do you know why Liping didn't go to get a marriage certificate? ”
Hao Desheng asked Mengdu suspiciously.
"I don't know."
Yume shook his head blankly.
"Ouch, it's time for a wedding, and you and Liping don't even know when we're going to get a marriage certificate. You can't get married without a license, can you? ”
The mayor's wife didn't care how her son would react when she heard her words, and continued to interrogate Mengdu anxiously.
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't worry."
Hao Desheng was worried that Mengdu would contradict the mayor's wife again, so he quickly shook his head at the mayor's wife, and then said to Mengdu:
"Mengdu, I know what you said. You don't have to worry about this, I'll ask Liping's father right away. Mengdu, you just wait for my news; Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'll go to Zhang's house and ask now. ”
"Well, go ahead! What are the plans of the Zhang family, after asking clearly, you can tell me quickly. ”
The mayor's wife couldn't wait to urge Hao Desheng to win.
"Okay, I'll go. Sister-in-law, goodbye! Mengdu, wait for my news, ah! ”
After Hao Desheng said goodbye to the mayor's wife and Mengdu, he left the Wang family in a hurry.
After leaving Wang's house, Hao Desheng drove directly to Zhang Xueru.
After knocking on the door of Zhang's house, Zhang Xueru saw that it was Director Hao, and was very surprised by his unexpected arrival, so he asked a little strangely:
"Director Hao? How do you ——? Oh, have you eaten it? ”
"I've eaten it! Zhang Shifu, what, haven't you eaten yet? ”
Hao Desheng nodded at Zhang Xueru, and at the same time glanced into the house, wanting to see who else was in the house.
"We just finished eating. Quick, Director Hao, please sit in the room. Come, Director Hao, please sit here! Liping's mother ——, make tea for Director Hao! ”
Zhang Xueru let Hao Desheng sit on the sofa in the living room, and shouted loudly to the dining room, telling his wife to make tea.
It turned out that the Zhang family had just finished dinner, and the table had not been cleaned up yet.
At the restaurant, Liping was cleaning the table with her mother, and when she raised her eyes and saw Hao Desheng coming, she greeted Hao Desheng at the dining table and said:
"Uncle Hao, hello!"
"Hmm, hello! Liping, you're such a good girl! After eating, I also helped my mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks. ”
Hao Desheng smiled and praised Liping.
"This girl is quite diligent. Liping, let your mother take the table, quick, you go make tea for Uncle Hao. ”
Zhang Xueru saw Hao Desheng praising his daughter, so he changed his instructions just now and asked Liping to make tea for Hao Desheng.
Liping immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, came to the coffee table in the living room, took out the teacup and tea leaves, and quickly made tea for Hao Desheng.
"Director Hao, have you really eaten it? Why do you have time to visit the door today? Is there something urgent? ”
Zhang Xueru, like many Chinese, asked Hao Desheng again if he had eaten dinner, as if he was afraid that he would starve his body.
At the same time, Zhang Xueru also wanted to test Hao Desheng, to see that Hao Desheng came to the door without saying hello today, was there any accident in the marriage between Mengdu and Liping?
There was a lot of mystery in his heart, so while greeting Hao Desheng, Zhang Xueru kept his eyes on Hao Desheng to see how he reacted.
"Well, I've already eaten it! Zhang Shifu, tonight, I just don't have anything to do, so I'll stop by and take a walk to see if you need my help here. ”
Hao Desheng is a shrewd person, and he already knows what the intention of Zhang Xueru's question is.
But Hao Desheng didn't break it, just smiled and answered Zhang Xueru's question. At the same time, he is not in a hurry to say what he means.
"Oh, what about us, the preparations for Mengdu and Liping's marriage are basically ready, and there is nothing we need help with. Look, Liping's dowry, according to your meaning, it has already been bought. Just pick a suitable day next week and send it to the Mengdu family's villa. ”
Zhang Xueru heard that Hao Desheng came for this, and his heart suddenly felt relaxed.
He habitually took out a pack of "Chinese" cigarettes from the stand on the second floor of the coffee table, took one out of it and handed it to Director Hao:
"Director Hao, can you smoke a cigarette?"
"Thank you, Master Zhang, I don't smoke."
Hao Desheng politely waved his hand and declined.
"Oh, yes, look at my memory! It's still Director Hao's living habits! I don't smoke anymore. ”
Zhang Xueru repeated the words "I won't smoke anymore" many times, then put the cigarette back on the second layer of the coffee table, and continued:
"Director Hao, thanks to you for the children's marriage, you are fully responsible for the preparations! You see, this National Day is coming soon, and you have to worry about the wedding later! ”
"Hehe, Zhang Shifu, the children's wedding is no problem. Now it can be said, 'Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed'! Oh, by the way, did Liping and Dream go to get a marriage certificate? ”
Speaking of this, Hao Desheng seemed to have just remembered it, and naturally, he turned the topic to the purpose of his coming to Zhang's house tonight.
"That's right, marriage certificate! Liping, have you and Mengdu's marriage certificate been typed? ”
Zhang Xueru was reminded by Hao Desheng's words just now, and then remembered that half a month had passed since the marriage date of Liping and Mengdu was confirmed.
Before, although Zhang Xueru reminded Liping and told her to find time and dream to apply for a marriage certificate, has the marriage certificate been completed? I haven't asked my daughter yet!
Zhang Xueru was about to call Liping over to ask, but Liping came over with the hot tea he had just brewed for Hao Desheng, and he immediately looked at Liping and asked.
"Uncle Hao, please have tea."
Liping sent the teacup to the coffee table in front of Hao Desheng.
After Liping put down the teacup, she didn't answer her father's question, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Liping, come, sit down."
Hao Desheng patted the single sofa next to his left hand and said to Liping closely:
"Come and talk to Uncle Hao."
In this way, Liping was inconvenient to leave, so she sat on the single sofa a little uncomfortably.
"Liping, we really envy your generation of young people! Zhang Shifu, you're right? ”
Hao Desheng did not directly ask Liping about the marriage certificate, but turned the corner and glanced at Liping's father first, and then looked at Liping and said:
"I heard that you and Dream have a plan, you are going to the United States and Western Europe for your honeymoon after the wedding?"
Liping glanced at Hao Desheng shyly, didn't squeak, just nodded silently.
Hao Desheng was right to ask just now.
At the end of last month, Mengdu told her about this plan.
Mengdu said that he wanted to take the opportunity of this marriage, and after the wedding, the two of them would then go abroad to open their eyes.
At the same time, I also went to the world with Liping to enjoy the happiness of being newly married!
Traveling abroad after getting married, which young person nowadays doesn't want to, who doesn't want to?
After listening to Mengdu's plan, Liping was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart!
However, considering the limited financial conditions of herself and her family, she expressed her worries to Mengdu:
"Traveling abroad, that costs a lot of money, right?"
After hearing this, Mengdu smiled indifferently, and then said in a big way:
"The cost of going abroad, my mother has already prepared for us! When the time comes, we just need to pull up our suitcases and leave!
Since this is the case, Liping also acquiesces.
However, Liping did not tell her family about the plan to go abroad that Mengdu said, so Zhang Xueru and his wife didn't know.
"Ah, Liping, are you still going to the United States and Western Europe for your honeymoon?"
Right now, when Zhang Xueru listened to Director Hao's words, his eyes widened in surprise.
He looked at his daughter and said:
"Liping, why did you never mention it to me? In your eyes, is there still my father? ”
