CH 127

Zhao Lanxiang said sweetly, "I have to keep it well. These treasures are valuable heirlooms, and they will be passed down from generation to generation..."

In her previous life, her old man told her that he sold a few big pieces to earn capital for his business in the 1980s and 1990s. Although antiques were valuable at that time, they were far from the sky-high prices. In the 21st century, the value of antiques rose, and he later had to spend dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the original price to redeem the heirlooms he sold.

Zhao Lanxiang felt that the paper she held was not a light paper but a mountain of heavy gold.

He Songbai chuckled. He leaned close to her ear and said, "Grandma told me, I need to hurry and get a marriage certificate with you. She is afraid you ran again."

Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help staring at him, "Grandma really said that?"

He Songbai nodded, "She didn't say it directly, but I felt she meant it... She has already selected several suitable days. Let's get the certificate early and start the year with a happy event."

He thought about the fact that his old grandmother was really anxious and even came in person for the engagement. Isn't that just asking him to marry earlier?

This time, he was still blessed with the light of his grandmother. The old woman was actively communicating with his father-in-law and mother-in-law to fight for his welfare.

He Songbai was touched and ashamed. Their life events made the elderly worry. In the last two years, he also violently abandoned himself and made her sad.

Sure enough, such a thick gift was not brought in vain. The old grandmother asked them to get married early!

Zhao Lanxiang coughed a little, "No wonder Dad's face is not right. Getting a marriage certificate early will not be easy. I haven't finished my study in the university yet. I have to stay in G City for the next two years, which is equivalent to stay under my parents' knees for a while. But to do the wedding, it is too fast. My parents may not be able to digest it at the moment."

He Songbai had a thoughtful expression on his face. He said, "I have gradually shifted my work to the south. The development of G City is also good. If we stay here after we get married, will Aunt and Uncle hesitate?"

Zhao Lanxiang was overjoyed.

He Songbai was thinking about staying in G City! This way, she can still see her parents from time to time. Her factories and shops are also here, no need to move. She felt that with this plan, her parents should be able to relax.

He Songbai paused, offering a killer sentence, "Don't you want a baby?"

Zhao Lanxiang said, "Brother Bai is now a man who talks eloquently."

He Songbai, who was "inviting and tempting," suddenly felt like his throat was choked. He used to coax her, and now he has finally tasted this choked taste.

He was not discouraged at all and tried harder, "Isn't Elder Sister's Tietou cute?"1

"Grandma said she still has the energy to bring a baby in the next few years. But a few years later, she might be dizzy and exhausted. Granny is patient and versatile. If we missed the next few years, we might regret it in the future..."

Zhao Lanxiang heard his words, and her eyes deepened. Grandma is indeed very old. She is so old that her hair is completely white, and her spirit is not as good as before.

She said, "Then we should get the marriage license early."

...

Zhao Yongqing felt that this winter was really lively. His daughter's boyfriend came to their door, which caught him off guard. Within a week, they received the marriage certificate.

Big events in life fell one step at a time, but the speed is as fast as sitting on a rocket.

Zhao Yongqing hasn't had time to respond, and his daughter has already belonged to someone else.

He prepared the paperworks for Zhao Lanxiang's marriage certificate and couldn't help but feel emotional, "Niu Niu has grown up..."

"I am old too."

Listening to his sad voice, Zhao Lanxiang looked up and saw his faintly white hair in his temples, and her nose suddenly felt sour.

She took her father's hand and said, "How can you be old? Not old at all. My dad can still run on the street with a little Huzi on your back."

Zhao Yongqing thinks about it too, turning his head to look at his son, still at a snotting age, and feeling that his old heart has been rejuvenated. He shouted, "Huzi, do you want to play football?"

Little Huzi in the room heard his words and hurried out, holding his worn little football like a whirlwind.

Zhao Yongqing led his son to play in the open field.

Zhao Lanxiang stared at their backs and was comforted by He Songbai.

He said, "It feels good to have parents. I don't remember what my parents looked like... If they are still there, you can get two extra red envelopes."

Zhao Lanxiang said, "Now my parents are also your parents. In the future, you will also be a parent..."

There was a warm flow in He Songbai's heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips, showing his white teeth.

"Your mouth is so sweet today."

He took her hand, went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register the marriage, and received a marriage certificate. The marriage certificate at this time was red and big, and looked like two conjoined certificates. There was no photo of the couple. But such simple proof made both He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang warm in their hearts.

In the first month of 1981, they finally formally established a legal relationship.1

He Songbai seemed to have fulfilled his wish for many years and was as excited as a kid. He read the marriage certificate several times over and over again, chanting the large characters on the back.

"Diligence and thrifty."

"Lanxiang, the country asked us to be diligent and frugal!"

Then he read the next sentence, "Family planning..."

Zhao Lanxiang nodded. It is the stage of family planning. It is not until 1982 that it is truly determined as a national policy and written into the Constitution.

He Songbai smiled and said, "This era is really different. In the past, I used to hear the chairman say that more people means the country is strong, and now it is about giving birth to desirable people."

He put the marriage certificate in his wife's hands, "This time, we can rest assured. We have the certificate."

He Songbai couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, rushed back to their warm den, and spent time with each other without wasting a second.

But they were on the street. The young couple is thin-skinned and honestly took a car back home.

He Songbai took out the key from his wife's bag and unlocked the door eagerly. The door hadn't closed yet, and he had put his wife in his arms in a hurry.

Zhao Lanxiang stared anxiously and gasped, "Close the door..."

He Songbai stretched his legs and closed the gate.
