Chapter 550: Is Your Marriage Legal?
"Old man, look what this is?" Zhu's mother was wandering in the kitchen, opened the cupboard and screamed.

Zhu's father came over and took a look, wow!
The shiny gold jewelry was placed in an unlocked cabinet!
The old couple looked at each other, and Zhu's mother said:
"My son-in-law's conditions are a bit too good. I'm worried that if I invite relatives over, they will constantly bother them and ask them for help."

Father Zhu thought about it and realized that it was true.

Even though he is a university teacher and his wife is a retired medical worker, relatives still come to help.

The son-in-law is a Chinese foreigner. It is not good to let these things bother him. In the end, the one who suffers is the daughter.

"Don't the higher-ups advocate simple weddings? Tomorrow, just the two of us will come over. We can send our daughter over, and my family of four will have a meal together!"

Zhu's mother was a little surprised. Isn't this too simple?

"Don't you want to give everyone some candy? You should always put up a 'happiness' character at home, right? Besides, tomorrow is the 27th day of the second lunar month, which is not a good time to get married. How about the day after tomorrow?"

Father Zhu thought about it and said:

“Let’s ask the young couple for their opinions.

Anyway, they just need to arrange it here. If we do it over there, won’t everyone know about it? After all, Xiao Wang is a foreigner, so it won’t hurt for us to keep a low profile.”

……

The two of them didn't have to wait long before people started delivering furniture to this side, all of which were ready-made solid wood furniture.

The old couple started asking the workers to help them put things in place.

As more and more people come to our house, people also come to give us curtains, quilts and bedding.

After a while, Zhu Lin came up with a big bag full of toiletries. Wang Yuanchao moved a cardboard box full of pots, pans, and utensils.

Wang Yuanchao packed dinner from the restaurant, and the four of them had their first meal in the new house with the new furniture.

The wedding date was discussed at the dinner table. Wang Yuanchao didn't care. It was only a matter of one day. Besides, it was indeed too late to decorate the house today. Tomorrow and another day would be enough.

Because there was nothing to clean at home in the school’s family quarters, the old couple helped out until 9 p.m., then went home with the new clothes bought by their daughter and son-in-law.

Yes, the young couple thoughtfully bought them new clothes and new leather shoes.

……

The next morning, Wang Yuanchao was going to pick up Zhu Lin's family and continue decorating the house. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the community, he saw the green military uniform who had delivered the letter before, waiting at the door.

Wang Yuanchao stopped the car and greeted the people:

"Good morning, both of you!"

The soldier saluted and said:

"Comrade Wang, I have reported your opinion to the leader. Please provide us with the information of the young comrade who joined the army so that we can make arrangements."

Wang Yuanchao was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t even know where Fan Xiaojun lived!
But he knew that someone knew!

Anyway, it's not too far from here to Qianmen Street, just turn the steering wheel, so he said:

"Comrade, let me take you to see a friend who knows the details!"

The two soldiers looked at each other, nodded, and got on their own Gasjeeps.

The Crown and Gas stopped one after the other in front of the door of the "Qianmen Street Tavern".

The tavern had just opened and was empty with no customers. Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen were making preparations for the opening when they saw a tall man in a green military uniform walk in.

"Comrades, it's so early, we haven't opened yet?" Xu Huizhen hurried forward to explain.

"Is it Mr. Cai Quanwu and Ms. Xu Huizhen?" Wang Yuanchao said with a smile.

Cai Quanwu quickly dropped the work in his hands and stood next to his wife.

Xu Huizhen smiled politely and said:

"We are, how many people are there?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Don't be nervous. I'm Chen Xueru's cousin. She has returned to Hong Kong and wants Fan Xiaojun to be tempered in the melting pot of the army. But we don't know where Fan Xiaojun lives, so we have to trouble Mr. Cai Quanwu to show us the way!"

The couple was no longer so nervous. Chen Xueru was the same. She let her youngest son join the army without even notifying them in advance.

Cai Quanwu took off his sleeves and said to his wife:

"Then I'll go there first."

The two men in military uniforms took Cai Quanwu away, but Wang Yuanchao still stood there.

Chen Xueru is so capable, and Wang Yuanchao wants to recruit Xu Huizhen, who is even more capable than Chen Xueru, under his command.

But Chen Xueru has grown to her current level and has gained experience in Hong Kong, which is probably incomparable to Xu Huizhen.

But Wang Yuanchao decided to give it a try:
"Ms. Xu Huizhen, I'm in the capital and will soon open a big hotel. I wonder if you're interested in helping me? At least Chen Xueru said she admires you very much."

Xu Huizhen immediately declined:

"That was all many years ago. Now, I am running a small shop with my husband. I am afraid I cannot afford your big hotel."

Are you kidding? How could she agree when she doesn't know anything about the situation? Anyway, Chen Xueru has to give us the lowdown, right?

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:

"It's an international, modern, big hotel with a lot to learn. It would be a shame if you couldn't go and take part in it."

Xu Hui was a little tempted. International and modern, who wouldn't be tempted? But she still refused.

Wang Yuanchao also disagreed. He was not asking Xu Huizhen to be the general manager. He just felt that if the other party was capable, he could become a supervisor and move up step by step, which would be considered as cultivating a good talent.

If you refuse, then just refuse.

He still has to pick someone up!
……

April 4nd, the 2th day of the second lunar month, is a good day for marriage.

Early in the morning, Wang Yuanchao pasted a red "囍" character on the car and went to pick up the bride.

Downstairs, after setting off firecrackers, Zhu Lin, who was wearing a red festive bride's makeup, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the new house. The process was not simple, but almost non-existent.

At the gate of the community, Wang Yuanchao got out of the car again and set off a few firecrackers and a string of small whips.

After getting off the car, he carried Zhu Lin home.

Then the couple offered tea to the old couple and changed their words.

The wedding banquet was hosted by the restaurant, and Wang Yuanchao was already considered one of their old customers.

In the afternoon, after seeing the old couple off, they went to take wedding photos.

Yes, I can only go to shoot in the afternoon because time is too tight.

You also need to buy some household items. If you don't actually move in, there will always be something missing.

After dinner and a shower, I realized that I didn’t prepare any pajamas…

There is some in Wang Yuanchao's house, but we can't go there to get it now.

I can only not wear pajamas.

Wang Yuanchao had been married several times, but this was the first time that he had arranged everything himself from beginning to end and got everything done in just one or two days.

It was also the first time that I felt a little tired.

The two were exhausted, and at least at this moment, they had nothing to think about.

The next day it was still dark...

Zhu Lin was heating up yesterday's leftovers when he found Wang Yuanchao doing some strange exercises in the living room, which looked quite strenuous.

"Do you still have strength?"

Zhu Lin brought a glass of water to Wang Yuanchao and asked in confusion. The bed sheets were wet in the hour before dawn.

A night of spring is worth a thousand gold.

Don't get me wrong, it's all sweat.

"How can I have the strength if I don't exercise?" Wang Yuanchao's answer was correct. That little bit of sweat and exercise is really nothing.

"Do you want to practice? I'll teach you! Maintain your figure, maintain youthful vitality, and physical strength. When you work as an actor in the future, you will be very busy, so you must pay special attention to your health." Wang Yuanchao added with concern.

Zhu Lin looked at Wang Yuanchao's handsome face and the sturdy body under his cotton-padded sweater, and his heart was moved and he seemed to be thinking about something.

I never thought this man was so attractive just by looking at him!

She turned around and looked at the pot on the gas stove and said:

"Okay, you teach me!"

Wang Yuanchao began to teach her the Five Animal Exercises, which gave her a feeling similar to the love between a man and a woman in the Chinese drama East is in the West.

At least Zhu Lin felt great, as if he was floating in the air.

"Oh, there are still hot buns in the pot!" Zhu Lin was suddenly startled, pushed Wang Yuanchao away and rushed into the kitchen.

Then I heard a tinkling sound.

The kitchen smoke is coming out!

Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to follow him in. Zhu Lin was trying in a hurry to turn off the fire, but the kitchen was filled with steam and he couldn't see clearly for a moment.

Zhu Lin turned off the fire and pouted angrily:

"Look, the pot is all burnt out!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Blame me!"

Fortunately, the water was just about to dry up, and there was still some. The steamed buns were hot, and the dishes on top were also hot. Only the egg cooked in the water at the bottom had cracked.

The two washed up and had their first meal after marriage.

Wang Yuanchao volunteered to wash the pots and dishes, while Zhu Lin began to record what else needed to be bought for the family, and gave the list to Wang Yuanchao, asking him to buy it. She had to go to work today, and couldn't keep asking for leave.

At noon, Wang Yuanchao would go to the art troupe to pick her up, and the two would go to Zhu Lin's parents' home for lunch.

……

Cultural troupe

Wang Sheng was stunned when he learned that his third brother had married Zhu Lin.

"Are you married?" he confirmed again and again.

"Do you want to ask her to call you uncle?" Wang Yuanchao said with a smile.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but move his butt:

"Is your marriage legal?"

Wang Sheng wanted to ask, "You're getting married without even inviting your family members?" But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.

Wang Yuanchao looked at his nervous elder brother and said with a smile:

"We haven't obtained a marriage certificate yet. Besides, I don't have a household registration book, so I can't get a marriage certificate, right?"

Wang Sheng was a little anxious. The third brother didn't answer the question. He took a few breaths:

"After all, this is not your place. If you do this..."

Wang Yuanchao stopped teasing his elder brother and pointed his finger at the ceiling, saying:
"The higher-ups knew about it and sent me a gift."

Can an envelope sent by the leader be considered a gift?
Wang Sheng was stunned. He felt like his brain wasn't enough. This, this, this...

Wang Yuanchao explained the matter with Zhu Lin again. Zhu Lin's parents did not know his identity. He used the pseudonym "Wang Zhen" and his identity was a senior manager under the patriotic entrepreneur Wang Yuanchao. As for others, if the family saw Zhu Lin, they would just treat her normally as the third son's daughter-in-law.
