Wu Dao looked forward to Zhang Chunmei's son getting good results in the college entrance examination, so that he would not have to fake marriage with Zhang Chunmei. However, on the afternoon of 9 June, Zhang Chunmei called him anyway.

After receiving Zhang Chunmei's call, Wu Dao had a premonition that something was wrong, probably because his son did not do well in the college entrance examination. Zhang Chunmei said:

"Mr. Wu, do you remember what we talked about the fake marriage last time?"

"I remember. Did your son take this year's college entrance examination? Wu Dao said.

"I participated, and I just finished the exam yesterday."

"That's good. Wait a little longer, and the results will come out. ”

"There's no need to wait, as soon as the exam is over, he said that this year's exam is not as good as last year, and he will definitely not be able to pass the undergraduate line. Today, I read the reference answer in the newspaper again, and I am even more sure that the results are very poor. You don't have to wait for the results to come out, tomorrow morning my husband and I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, and in the afternoon we will go to Fangzhou to find you to get a marriage certificate. ”

"That's too much of a hurry, isn't it? If your son's college entrance examination score is more than 20 points away from the undergraduate line, it is a fake marriage, and he will not be able to go to Fangzhou College's undergraduate degree. ”

"That's true, but we have to think about it this way, if my son's grades are within 20 points of the undergraduate line, and we fake marriage, he can go to undergraduate, and if he doesn't get married, he won't be able to go to college.

If his grades are more than 20 points away from the undergraduate line, there is no harm to him in our fake marriage, and he can still go to junior college. So we fake marriages, there are only benefits and no harms.

Besides, if we really wait until the college entrance examination results come out, we will have a fake marriage, and it may be too late in time. So, it's time to be prepared.

A child's college entrance examination is a lifelong thing, and it is not okay if you are not in a hurry. Mr. Wu, do you have your household registration book and ID card in your hand? It is necessary to apply for a marriage certificate. If the hukou book is in my hometown, I will drive to your house to get it. ”

After listening to Zhang Chunmei's words, Wu Dao was speechless, so he had to say:

"I've always had my ID with me. After I worked, I moved my hukou to the college, and my hukou book is also here. ”

"That's good."

"We can fake marriages, but don't talk about it."

"Don't worry, no one will know about our fake marriage. See you tomorrow in Fangzhou. ”

At this time, Meng Yihong was participating in an academic activity in the field and was not in Fangzhou College. Wu Dao felt very fortunate that he didn't have to make a fool of himself in front of her.

The next day, Wu Dao had no classes, so he read in the dormitory. At about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chunmei called again:

"Mr. Wu, I have already obtained a divorce certificate. Now I'm rushing to Fangzhou, don't eat at noon, after we arrive, we'll eat together. ”

Wu Dao said "yes", but his heart was indescribably awkward.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, Zhang Chunmei called Wu Dao and said that she had arrived at the gate of Fangzhou College. Walking to the gate, Wu Dao saw that Zhang Chunmei had come with a middle-aged man.

Zhang Chunmei said to Wu Dao: "Teacher Wu, we meet again. He pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my husband Wu Bingyi, he is the deputy director of our Qicheng County Bureau of Commerce." ”

"Teacher Wu, hello, the child's affairs have caused you trouble." Wu Bingyi stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Dao.

"It's all former colleagues, it's supposed to be done." Wu Dao said.

"It's not early, let's go eat first. After eating, let's go to take pictures first, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. The working hours of the government offices in Fangzhou and Qicheng County are different, Qicheng County has two hours of rest at noon, and Fangzhou works from 9 to 5, there is no rest at noon, and the staff takes turns to eat. Zhang Chunmei said.

"Then get in the car." Wu Bingyi said.

The three of them got into the car, and Wu Bingyi drove. This time, they did not go to the Fangzhou Hotel, but went to a cafeteria. During the meal, Zhang Chunmei told her son about the college entrance examination and the divorce certificate in the morning.

After eating, the three of them got into the car again, and Wu Bingyi drove the car directly to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The marriage registry office is located along the street, and next to it is a photo studio that specializes in marriage registration photos. The three walked into the photo studio, and a photographer stepped forward and said:

"What are you taking?"

"Take wedding photos." Wu Bingyi said.

"Is that you and this lady?" Said the photographer.

"It's not the two of us," Zhang Chunmei said, pointing at Wu Dao, "it's the two of us taking wedding photos." ”

"You two get married?" Said the photographer.

"It's the two of us, what, isn't it?" Zhang Chunmei said.

"Like, then come and shoot." Said the photographer.

Listening to their conversation, Wu Dao felt that his face was hot, and he really wanted to find a place to hide, but since he promised Zhang Chunmei, he couldn't let go of it halfway, so he had to sit on the photo stool with Zhang Chunmei. The photographer said:

"You two sit closer."

Wu Dao moved his chair closer to Zhang Chunmei. The photographer finished taking the photo and quickly washed it out. After Wu Bingyi paid the money, the three of them left the photo studio and went to the marriage registration office.

Walking to the door, Wu Dao heard the two photographers in the photo studio seem to be laughing, and the photographer who took pictures of them said:

"After taking wedding photos for so many years, it's the first time I've met like this, the woman is so much older than the man, I guess this woman must be very rich."

"Say, what is the man who came with you doing?" Said another photographer.

The rest of the words are not heard.

There were not many people waiting in the marriage registration hall, and soon it was Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei's turn. They handed over their ID cards and household registration books to the staff, who looked at them, paused for a moment, and asked:

"Did you marry of your own free will?"

"It's voluntary." Zhang Chunmei said.

"Yes." Wu Dao also said.

"Is it a second marriage?" Said the staff.

"I'm married for the second time, and he's married for the first time." Zhang Chunmei said.

"Did you bring a divorce certificate?" Said the staff.

"Brought it." Zhang Chunmei handed over the divorce certificate to the staff.

"You got divorced in the morning and got married again in the afternoon?" The staff said puzzled.

"yes, is it illegal?" Zhang Chunmei said.

"It's not illegal, it's just that this divorce and marriage are too fast, right? This is a lifelong event, not a child's play. Said the staff.

"It's not illegal, it's done, hurry up and get a marriage certificate." Zhang Chunmei said.

"I ask again, are you married voluntarily? Getting married is a lifelong event. The staff looked at Wu Dao and said.

"It's a voluntary marriage." Wu Dao said.

"We are married voluntarily, let's get a marriage certificate." Zhang Chunmei said.

The staff began to fill out the marriage certificate and stamp it. Wu Dao glanced back at Wu Bingyi behind him, and said in his heart: "What a ridiculous thing for a husband to see his wife marry someone else!" I didn't expect my first marriage to be like this. ”

The staff got the certificate, handed it to Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei, and said:

"Congratulations!"

Wu Dao took the marriage certificate and said in his heart: "Congratulations!" Can't you see that we're sham married? ”

The three of them left the marriage registry office, and Wu Bingyi drove Wu Dao back to Fangzhou College. In the car, Zhang Chunmei gave Wu Dao a copy of her son's ID card, and said:

"Our son's name is Wu Guodong, and he is nineteen years old this year. Now that we have a marriage certificate, there is no problem for our son to go to college. The results of the college entrance examination will come out in a few days, and when you return to Fangzhou College, you will report Guodong's name. ”

"Okay." Wu Dao said. He thought to himself, what is the matter with an extra nineteen-year-old son for no reason!

"This is a little meaning, and after I am admitted, I will thank you again." Zhang Chunmei handed Wu Dao a red envelope and said.

"No, you don't." Wu Dao said.

"I've caused you so much trouble, I should take it. I also said before, I will give you a five-figure red envelope, not much, this is two thousand, I really went to undergraduate, and then I will give you the rest. Zhang Chunmei said.

"Teacher Wu, just accept it, when our son's results come out, I may have to trouble you. If you really go to Fangzhou College for an undergraduate, you have to take care of it. If you don't accept it, we can't get over it. Wu Bingyi said.

Wu Dao listened to Zhang Chunmei and Wu Bingyi's words, and the more he listened, the more awkward he became, as if their sons were now three people, but he couldn't say anything.

At this point, he could only continue to move forward, Wu Dao accepted the red envelope, and put it in his pocket without looking at the money inside.

Zhang Chunmei and Wu Bingyi sent Wu Dao to the gate of Fangzhou College, and then set off to return to Qicheng County.

Wu Dao walked into the school, and while walking, he took out his marriage certificate. Looking at the wedding photo above, Wu Dao couldn't help but think that Zhang Chunmei and Meng Yihong are of the same age, if the person in the photo is not Zhang Chunmei, but Meng Yihong, is he really willing to get married?

He thought of Si Baifang again, and suddenly felt that fake marriage was a very disgusting thing, so he wanted to throw the marriage certificate into the trash can on the side of the road, but then he thought that he would also use the marriage certificate when applying for a divorce certificate with Zhang Chunmei in the future, and he might also use the marriage certificate to register Zhang Chunmei's son.

Wu Dao took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, and the various departments of Fangzhou College had already gone to work, so he walked directly to the admissions office of Fangzhou College.

The admissions office of Fangzhou University has two teachers, one male and one female. Wu Dao walked to the door and saw that there were other people doing things inside besides the two teachers, so he waited at the door for the errand to leave before walking in.

Wu Dao had never dealt with the admissions office, and although he had met two teachers, they did not know each other's names.

Wu Dao originally thought about it on the road, and he would get things done cleanly and neatly, and he couldn't drag the mud and water, and he left as soon as he was done. really stood in front of the two teachers in the admissions office, but he couldn't open his mouth, because the matter was so bizarre, he couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't let the admissions teachers know that he was a fake marriage, but it was difficult to open his mouth.

The male teacher saw Wu Dao and said:

"Which department are you a teacher in, do you have something to do with the admissions office?"

"I am a teacher in the Chinese department, surnamed Wu, and I only came a few years ago." Wu Dao said.

"I remember that I thought I had seen it, but I didn't know what your name was, it turned out to be a new teacher, no wonder I didn't know it. What's the matter with you? The female teacher said.

"Isn't it possible for the children of our college teachers to lower their admission standards?" Wu Dao said.

"That's the thing." The female teacher said.

"I want to sign someone up." Wu Dao said.

"Who are you going to sign up for?" The male teacher said.

"To my son." Wu Dao said.

"I see you're not even thirty years old, and your son has taken the college entrance examination?" The female teacher said.

"It was born to my wife and ex-husband, and he took the college entrance examination this year." Wu Dao said.

"Isn't your daughter-in-law much older than you?" The female teacher said.

"It's older than me. Let's not talk about that, let's report my name first. Wu Dao said.

"Did you bring the marriage certificate and the child's ID card?" The female teacher said.

"I brought the marriage certificate, but the ID card did not bring the original, it was a copy." Wu Dao said.

"Copies will do." The female teacher said.

Wu Dao gave the marriage certificate and a copy of Zhang Chunmei's son's ID card to the female teacher, filled out another form, and completed the registration. The two teachers of the admissions office looked at Wu Dao's marriage certificate, and the female teacher said:

"Your daughter-in-law may have been a beautiful woman when she was young."

"It's not bad now." The male teacher said.

"This marriage certificate was only done today?" The male teacher saw the date on the marriage certificate.

"I did it today." Wu Dao said.

"What does your daughter-in-law do? Tell me, how did you get married? The female teacher said.

"Is this the end of the registration?" Wu Dao said.

"The name has already been reported, so I'm just curious about how you got married." The female teacher said.

"I still have something to do, I'll talk about it later." Wu Dao said.

Wu Dao knew that the admissions office was a place where there were many people, and he was afraid that someone would come to do things in a while, so he quickly left after collecting the marriage certificate.

Walking on the road, Wu Dao put his hand into his pocket and touched the red envelope that Zhang Chunmei gave him. He took it out and looked at the 2,000 yuan inside, and said in his heart: "After doing such a shameful thing, 2,000 yuan is not much at all, and you should give 20,000 yuan." ”

However, then he blamed himself for this thought, and said to himself: "No matter how much money I give in the future, I will never do this kind of thing again!" ”

Wu Dao was very afraid that the matter of his "marriage" would spread in Fangzhou College, but fortunately, the two teachers in the admissions office were not familiar with him at all, and they didn't really care about the truth of his marriage.

Wu Dao's "marriage" did not produce any waves, and he was still a single young man in the eyes of the teachers and students of the Chinese Department.

Soon, Si Baifang graduated from graduate school. She told Mr. Wu that after graduation, she would work for a large Beijing-based bank, where Mr. Xu's mother was an executive.

Wu Dao vaguely felt that Si Baifang's life might be about to take a major turn, and that turning point would be devastating to himself.

The results of the college entrance examination were announced, and Zhang Chunmei's son Wu Guodong really did not pass the undergraduate line, missing 19 points. On the day she found out the results, Zhang Chunmei called Wu Dao:

"Teacher Wu, I have good news for you, our son's college entrance examination score is 19 points less than the undergraduate line. Look at this ingenuity, if you miss two points, you won't be able to get into the undergraduate of Fangzhou College. Isn't it summer vacation now, are you back to Qicheng County? ”

Wu Dao was at Xiaohuangzhuang's house at the time, but he knew that Zhang Chunmei probably meant to invite him to dinner, and he didn't want to eat this meal, so he told a lie:

"I didn't go back to Qicheng County, and now I'm in the south to participate in training."

"That's right, my husband and I still want to invite you to dinner, thank you. In that case, let's wait until our son reports to Fangzhou College to thank you. ”

"Don't be so polite."

"It should. There is another matter, I have to ask you, what do you say is a good major for our son's grades? My husband and I hope that he can go to the Chinese department, because you are a teacher in the Chinese department. ”

"Chinese language and literature is a popular major in Fangzhou College, your son's grades are a little low, and the Chinese department may not be able to get in." It's still like this, the first choice is to fill in Chinese language and literature, and just choose to obey the adjustment. If you can't go to the Chinese department, you can also go to other majors in Shangzhou College, and you will definitely be able to go to undergraduate. ”

"Then we are relieved. In fact, we don't care what major we go to, we just need to be an undergraduate. ”

Zhang Chunmei asked her son Wu Guodong to fill in the volunteer according to what Wu Dao said.

In mid-July, Wu Guodong was admitted to Fangzhou University. Because his grades were too low, he was transferred to the history major of Fangzhou College, which had the largest number of applicants. On the day she found out the admission results, Zhang Chunmei called Wu Dao again:

"Teacher Wu, great news, our son Guodong has been admitted to Fangzhou College."

"What is the major?" Wu Dao said.

"It's not a Chinese department, it's a history major."

"That's okay, no matter what major, as long as you study hard, you can become a talent."

"You're so right, as long as you can go to undergraduate, you can major in anything. When school starts, we have to thank you. At that time, you will go back to Fangzhou College, right? ”

"That's when I went back."

"Okay, see you when school starts."

It was fast forward to September. At the beginning of the school year, Zhang Chunmei and Wu Bingyi sent Wu Guodong to report to Fangzhou College. Zhang Chunmei and Wu Dao went to apply for a divorce certificate, Wu Bingyi stayed, and Wu Guodong went to report.

Although the staff of the marriage registry office felt strange about their "flash marriage" and "flash separation", and asked a lot of questions, Wu Dao did not feel so embarrassed this time with the experience of applying for a marriage certificate last time.

After completing the divorce certificate, Zhang Chunmei gave Wu Dao another red envelope, which was 8,000 yuan. The two red envelopes add up to just five digits.

When Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei returned to Fangzhou College, Wu Guodong had already completed the registration. Zhang Chunmei proposed that the family of three would invite Wu Dao to have a meal and thank him for his great help.

Wu Dao refused on the grounds that he was too busy with work. Zhang Chunmei and Wu Bingyi asked Wu Guodong to recognize Wu Dao as his godfather, Wu Dao couldn't cry or laugh, and said:

"I'm so young, not much older than him, how can I be his godfather?"

Zhang Chunmei said to Wu Dao: "It's not a matter of age, you listen to what I tell you."

First, we used to be colleagues, you call me sister, we are a generation, and my son is your junior.

Second, now that he is a student, you are a teacher, and you naturally know the truth of being a teacher for one day and a father for life.

Third, we have applied for a marriage certificate, although it is a fake marriage, but it can be regarded as a marriage.

What's more coincidental is that both of you are surnamed Wu, isn't this a match made in heaven? In any way, you deserve this godfather. ”

He said to Wu Guodong again, "Guodong, call Mr. Wu godfather." ”

Zhang Chunmei's words made Wu Dao speechless, and at this time, Wu Guodong really called him "godfather" again, and he couldn't recognize this godson anymore.

Since he is a godfather, of course, he has to take on the responsibility of taking care of his godson, which is exactly what Zhang Chunmei and Wu Bingyi want.

Wu Dao did not tell Meng Yihong about the fake marriage and the acceptance of his "godson", but a few days later, Wu Guodong took the initiative to come to the dormitory to recognize his relatives. After Wu Guodong left, Wu Dao had no choice but to tell Meng Yihong what happened. Meng Yihong said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to complete the three major life events of marriage, divorce, and raising a son in such a short period of time."

"Sister Meng, did I do something wrong?" Wu Dao said.

"People live, they have to learn to refuse, if they can't refuse, then they have to bear it."
