“Uncle Jiang, did you call me up here for something important?” Jiang Youdao led Zhou Chao into his study, where he brewed two cups of Dragon Well tea. During this time, Jiang Youdao stayed silent. After a few minutes of waiting, Zhou Chao couldn’t resist and finally spoke up.
“It appears you still remember to ask me. You called me earlier and seemed to have forgotten what you said!” Jiang Youdao casually sipped his tea, appearing unconcerned, as if the previous conversation didn’t matter.
“Uncle Jiang, would you be willing to give me the household registration book?” Zhou Chao looked delighted.
“Of course, who else would I give it to if not you? But let me make it clear, if 1 find out that you’ve done anything to harm Jiang Li, 1 won’t let you off easily!” Jiang Youdao’s tone became more serious.
Zhou Chao hurriedly assured him, “Uncle Jiang, you can rest assured, 1 will never let Jiang Li suffer any injustice!”
“Good, 1 believe in your word. Wait here!” Jiang Youdao got up and walked towards his desk. He rummaged in a drawer and took out a red book, which was indeed the household registration book.
“Take it, but you must return it to me intact, understand?” Jiang Youdao casually placed the household registration book in front of Zhou Chao.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Jiang!” Zhou Chao eagerly took the household registration book and held it in his hand, afraid that Jiang Youdao would change his mind.
Seeing Zhou Chao’s actions, Jiang Youdao couldn’t help but shake his head and muttered to himself, “As if 1 would refuse, if I didn’t agree, 1 wouldn’t have given it to you. This kid has no basic trust at all!”
“Uncle Jiang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head downstairs!” Seeing that Zhou Chao was practically grinning from ear to ear, he waved his hand and let Zhou Chao leave on his own, out of sight, out of mind!
Zhou Chao walked out of the study, still wearing a happy expression on his face.
In the living room at this moment, only Jiang Li was sitting on the sofa, playing with her phone. Zhou Chao walked over and sat down next to her.
“All Li, we have something to do outside!” At this point, Zhou Chao had already stored Jiang Li’s household registration book in the warehouse, and there was another household registration book in the warehouse, which belonged to Zhou Chao himself. n(-0veLbIn
“Where are we going?”
“Let’s go! You’ll find out once you come with me!” Zhou Chao said as he held Jiang Li’s hand and they walked out of the house. They got into a car and left the compound.
After Jiang Li tidied up a bit and felt satisfied with her appearance, she turned to look at Zhou Chao.
“Let’s go!” The two of them got out of the car, and Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand as they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Since it was a Saturday, there were few people at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but there were still some staff working.
Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had no idea about the procedure, so they had to ask the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Surprisingly, the process turned out to be quite simple.
They had to fill out some forms, take a photo, undergo a health check, and get the necessary stamps. By the time they completed this series of steps, it was already 430 in the afternoon. During their time at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhou Chao also signed something without paying much attention to what it was.
As they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, holding their bright red marriage certificate, both of them were still in a daze, immersed in their joy. “Husband!”
“Wife!”
“Husband!”
“Wife!”
They called each other several times at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau before they came back to their senses.
Sitting in the car, both of them felt like they were in a dream. Jiang Li held the marriage certificate and turned to Zhou Chao, saying, “Let’s share this on our social media!”
“Sure!” Both of them were quite photogenic. Jiang Li took several photos of them together, picked a few from their previous photos, and even took a picture of the marriage certificate. After some careful selection, she created a nine-grid collage and shared it. Zhou Chao followed suit and posted it on his social media as well.
“Wife, let’s go home!”
“Yes, let’s go home!” Zhou Chao drove away from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Throughout the journey, their phones kept ringing with notifications from their social media, and Zhou Chao knew it was about their post, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, was chatting on her phone with great enthusiasm. Sometimes, she burst into laughter, making Zhou Chao curious about what she was talking about.
The trip back home seemed unusually fast, and Zhou Chao felt like they had arrived at the compound in no time. As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Youdao and Liya sitting on the sofa, as if they had been waiting for them. “Uncle Jiang, Aunt Liya!” Zhou Chao greeted them quickly.
“Hmm? Still calling us ‘uncle’ and ‘aunt’?” Jiang Youdao looked at Zhou Chao seriously.
“Father-in-law, mother-in-law!” Zhou Chao didn’t quite understand what was going on and quickly changed his address.
“All!” Both Jiang Youdao and Liya smiled, and Jiang Li, who was standing beside Zhou Chao with her arms around his arm, tightened her grip a bit as she observed their reactions..
