11 The eleventh night
The shredded chicken and scallop porridge in the pot is boiled to the best taste.
Ji He went into the kitchen to fill a bowl, she sprinkled some green onions into the porridge, and her hands were still shaking.
Her crimson face and vivid and shy eyebrows were reflected on the shiny face of the knife.
Lu Xunzhi's unexpected closeness just now completely disturbed her heart.
There seems to be a thick honey that can't be dissolved in her heart, and she begins to look forward to her life after marriage.
Lu Xunzhi scooped some porridge and put it in his mouth under Ji He's expectant gaze, and before he swallowed it, he heard her ask if it was delicious.
He glanced at her, "It's good." β
Ji He sighed secretly.
After eating a few bites in a row, Lu Xunzhi put down the small spoon, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked, "Did you bring the household registration book?" β
Ji He nodded, "I brought it the night before yesterday when I went home for dinner." Don't eat it anymore? β
I still haven't eaten most of the bowl yet.
Lu Xunzhi's eyes were slightly picked, and the upward arc of the corners of his mouth was very good: "It's still hot, how can I eat it." β
Ji He: "......"
"Meow, meow..."Da Bai's voice was weak, and he swirled around Ji He's legs, as if he was afraid of alarming Lu Xunzhi and afraid that Ji He wouldn't notice it.
Ji He remembered that he had forgotten to feed the cat this morning.
The opposite position is empty, and the porridge is a lot colder.
Lu Xunzhi drank the rest slowly, and his eyes seemed to be squatting on the floor and tinkering with cat food.
"Do you want to bring the cat with you?"
Almost subconsciously, Ji He replied "yes".
She didn't think too much, these two kittens were picked up in the trash can at the entrance of the community, and they have been raised for a few years, Ms. Sui doesn't like cats very much, and has asked her to find another adopter many times, she rarely rebels against Ms. Sui's words, but only Da Bai and Da Tang, have not given in once.
It's not that Lu Xunzhi doesn't like cats, and he doesn't have cat hair allergies, it's just that the Lu family has children, don't look at Lu Feifei's well-behaved appearance, and he is also a master who doesn't know the height of the sky.
After Ji He finished feeding the cat, he walked over and threw the two empty cans in the trash can under the dining table, and after sitting down, he carefully observed Lu Xunzhi's face.
It's very faint, I can't see anything.
"Isn't your family allowed me to bring a cat?" She said tentatively.
Lu Xunzhi took a sip of water, and his tone was casual: "No, they can move freely on the third floor." β
No one knew that she would marry him with a cat.
He turned around and asked people to install a door at the staircase on the third floor, so that the cat would not run downstairs or Lu Feifei would run up.
Ji He breathed a sigh of relief, if she didn't let her, she really didn't know what to do.
But there are many people living in Lu Zhai, so she is still a little uneasy, and asks more: "Does anyone really mind if I bring a cat?" β
Lu Xunzhi stood up lazily and glanced at her, "Who dares to mind?" β
On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, she told Lu Xunzhi that the two cats were fully vaccinated and dewormed on time, and their claws were often cut and not sharpened, and they would not bite indiscriminately, and the cat hair was ...... It's a bit off, but she's diligent in cleaning the cat's hair.
Lu Xunzhi said: "There is Aunt Li who is engaged in cleaning at home. β
Ji He smiled embarrassedly, "It's better for me to solve the trouble I caused." β
Lu Xunzhi parked the car at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and suddenly smiled: "Aunt Li has a common problem, she can't allow others to interfere in what she does, if you rush to come, she will feel at ease with such a high salary, and if she is not at ease, she will be passive and slack off." β
Ji He opened his mouth, wanting to say how could it be so serious, but what he said was that he was curious about how much Aunt Li's salary was.
Lu Xunzhi glanced at her, and said with a lazy smile: "If you don't marry tomorrow, ask in person." β
Ji Hezhen blushed, snorted lightly with a smile, drove the door down, and swallowed saliva when he saw the 'marriage registry offices' of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She was nervous.
It's not 'scared' of nervousness, it's 'pleasure' of nervousness.
Ji He straightened his skirt and turned his head to find Lu Xunzhi, he was closing the door of the trunk, dressed neatly, with the hem of his shirt tucked into his trousers, his posture was straight, and he was holding a bellflower that was in full bloom.
She was slightly stunned, her heart was like a small boat, and the water rippled slightly.
When he was led in through another door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ji He came back to his senses from the bouquet of flowers in his arms.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the man's cold eyebrows, "Are we going through the back door?" β
Lu Xunzhi lowered his eyes, at this moment, Ji He was more delicate than Huajiao, and there was a clear and soft puddle of water in his eyes, and he corrected it seriously, "Go to the side door." β
The rest of the process is led by a staff member.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, they officially registered and became a legitimate couple.
Ji He looked down at the two marriage certificates in his hand, and his eyes were red.
She was so lucky that a crush that she thought would never be answered ended happily ten years later.
The person she silently liked when she was a girl is now her husband.
Lu Xunzhi leaned against the door, with a cigarette in his mouth, and the person standing opposite was Xu Chaoyang, who did something stupid a while ago, and was sent here by Xu's father in anger.
Xu Chaoyang took out the lighter, slid the switch with his thumb, lit a cigarette for Lu Xunzhi with his hand, and after lighting it, he played with the lighter and glanced at Ji He who was sitting inside, "Married like this?" β
Lu Xunzhi said "um".
Xu Chaoyang lit a cigarette himself, inhaled sharply and spit out the smoke ring, teasing with a smile in his eyes: "I can't see it, our Lu Gongzi actually likes well-behaved and pure models." β
Lu Xunzhi glanced at him coldly, didn't say anything, extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it in the trash.
"Tsk, waste." This cigarette was hard to come by.
Xu Chaoyang suddenly remembered his cousin who had been washing her face with tears every day recently, and quipped: "Xu Yu is estimated to cry at your wedding tomorrow." β
At the beginning, Xu Yu made a joke and went to the Lu family with the dowry to 'propose', after all, they grew up together again, and everyone thought that this thing would definitely be done, but Lu Xunzhi was stunned and unmoved, and let Xu Yu get out with the dowry.
Lu Xunzhi turned his head, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, but his tone was very casual: "That's so unlucky, if I am seen by Professor Ning, she will not show mercy to your Xu family." β
Xu Chaoyang touched his nose and understood the meaning of these words.
"Gone." Lu Xunzhi stepped forward and walked towards Ji He.
He estimated that the girl's eyes had not been taken off the marriage certificate.
Xu Chaoyang deliberately shouted evilly: "Remember to come on time at night, Renjiang actually deliberately cleared the field for you to spend the last single night." β
Lu Xunzhi put one hand in his pocket, and his right hand was very perfunctory.
"Have you adjusted to your identity? Mrs. Ji. β
Mrs. Ji's three words smashed on the tip of Ji He's heart, she was stunned for a moment, and then the sweetness overflowed, and the smile on her face was almost unbearable.
She carefully stuffed the marriage certificate into her bag, stood up and walked, followed Lu Xunzhi, and went out from the main entrance with him.
That's right, her name is still Ji He, her surname is Ji, and there is no law that stipulates that when a woman gets married, she must take her husband's surname.
got in the car, Ji He finally had time to look at his mobile phone, and clicked on the group called [Blind Date and Love Family], there were too many chat records, most of them were aunts and Ji Shu fighting emojis.
My aunt @ her a few times and asked if she had received the certificate.
Ji He put his mobile phone on his lap, opened his bag, took out the marriage certificate, spread it out, took a picture with the mobile phone camera at a good angle, and then posted it directly in the group.
When Lu Xunzhi heard the "click", he turned his head to look at Ji He, her eyebrows were smiling, gentle and smart.
"What are you doing? So happy. β
Ji He said "ah" very briefly, remembering that he didn't say anything to Lu Xunzhi about sending out the marriage certificate, his eyebrows twisted slightly: "Auntie is asking about the progress, I will take a picture of the marriage certificate and post it in the family group, don't you mind?" I can withdraw if I mind, two minutes have not passed. β
The speed of her speech in the back was noticeably quicker.
Lu Xunzhi: "I don't mind." β
He didn't quite understand why he had to ask if he minded when he posted a photo.
It happened to meet the red light, and the car stopped steadily in front of the zebra crossing.
Quiet inside the car.
Ji He couldn't help but smile and watched her aunt praise Lu Xunzhi, saying that her nephew and son-in-law's face was simply like a knife, and it was impeccable.
Lu Xunzhi knocked on the steering wheel again and again, and at the moment when the traffic car was converted, he gave Ji He the mobile phone placed on the console.
The mobile phone was in Ji He's hand, and she was confused, "What's wrong?" Helping you recharge? β
Lu Xunzhi hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Professor Ning probably also wants to see the marriage certificate, you send one to the group." β
I just remembered that not long ago, he was pulled into a group by Huo Shuman, thinking that he was watching the group as a monkey by her female friend again, but when he was about to retreat, he saw a familiar tulip head appear on the screen, it was Professor Ning.
Ji He thought that Lu Xunzhi asked her to send her mobile phone because it was inconvenient to drive a car, and then responded and asked, "What is the password?" β
"No password."
She slid off the screen, and she really didn't.
Not only is there no password, but even the wallpaper is original on the phone, and the desktop is also very clean, only a few software that must be used.
Ji He first sent the photo to Lu Xunzhi's WeChat, moved his gaze to the mobile phone that he vibrate, clicked into the message she sent, and then looked at the 'no light day' on the top of the note when he long-pressed and forwarded the picture.
This is her first WeChat name after she has WeChat, and she has not changed.
Who is it that you don't even bother to type?
Not necessary?
Don't care too much?
There are a lot of people in Ji He's WeChat, but she takes everyone's name seriously.
When looking for a group, she subconsciously paid attention to the notes of other people in Lu Xunzhi's list.
"Did you send it?"
Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "I didn't find the group, what is the name?" β
Lu Xunzhi spoke a string of English, and when translated, it was actually a family that loved each other.
...... Sure enough, every family group can't escape the name.
The name of the group was changed by Huo Shuman, and it had to be in English, saying that it could raise a grade from the cheesiness.
The group was quiet, and after the picture was successfully sent, Ji He immediately returned the phone to Lu Xunzhi.
Lu Xunzhi didn't look at it, and directly put his mobile phone on the console, "Go to shabu-shabu?" β
Ji He thought to herself, something was wrong, her mood seemed to be completely led away by Lu Xunzhi, the last second was low and wrapped the whole heart, and this second was filled with joy.
That day, he said that he would go to eat together when he returned to Beijing, and he really listened.
The elders of the two families are very busy on this day, and the two parties are still leisurely soaking beef hot pot, as if they are not the ones who will get married tomorrow.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ji He went back to the rented house, packed up some things and prepared to go back to Ji's house, Lu Xunzhi sent her to the jubilant gate of Ji's house, did not get out of the car, only told her to go to bed early at night, he didn't want his bride to dangle in front of a group of relatives with two national treasures tomorrow.
Ji He smiled and said: "This problem can be solved by makeup." β
Lu Xunzhi suddenly became very serious, "Go to bed early." β
Ji He was stunned, then nodded.
Qu Zhiyi was in the Ji family early, and followed Ms. Sui and her aunt to busy before and after.
When Ji He came back, she happened to rest, she lay on Ji He's bed that had not slept for a long time, glanced at the person who was changing clothes, and smiled: "Sure enough, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and I thought you were a little haggard when I saw you yesterday." β
"Really?" Ji He touched his face, was it because he had taken a nap a few days ago? No wonder Lu Xunzhi asked her to go to bed early just now.
In the evening, Director Ji, who had been busy all day, actually stepped on the meal and returned home.
Ji Shu was the only person in the family who could enliven the atmosphere, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Ji He while peeling shrimp, "My dear sister, let's interview, what are your feelings at the moment when you are about to marry into a wealthy family?" It is said that Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other, let our brother-in-law take care of me more in the future. β
"Are you bored?" After Ji He finished speaking, he looked at Director Ji quietly.
Ji Shu threw the peeled shrimp into Ji He's bowl, and smiled very flatteringly, Ji He seemed to be able to see the big tail wagging behind him.
Qu Zhiyi once said that cats and dogs are complete and life is complete, and encouraged Ji He to raise another dog.
Ji He said that she already has a complete range of cats and dogs, and Ji Shu is a large dog, and the breed is still a husky.
"Sister, when I graduate, you ask our brother-in-law to find me a place in the capitalβah, mom, mom, it hurts!"
With the lady's face fluctuating, holding chopsticks in her right hand and picking up vegetables, her left hand pinching Ji Shu's ear.
Ji Shu wow wow begged for mercy, "Mom, let go, let go, will I shut up?" β
As a result, as soon as the lady let go, Ji Shu opened his mouth and spit out the unfinished words.
"Seek an official. Duty. β
Ji He was about to speak, but Yu Guang saw that Director Ji's face sank, and she subconsciously closed her mouth.
Director Ji glanced at Ji Shu, "When I come back next year, I will enter the army." β
Ji Shu'an was divided, stopped talking, and silently peeled shrimp for Ji He with his tail between his legs.
"Kiho."
The person who was named immediately sat up straight, held his breath, looked at Director Ji, his eyes flickered slightly, and he saw his white hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, "...... Father. β
Director Ji only said one sentence, with a rare softness in his voice: "I will often go home to see me and your mother in the future." β
Ji He's nose was sour, and her eye circles were sharply red, she endured the wetness in her eyes and nodded.
She suddenly regretted why she had to find an excuse not to come back to this house.
