After Chen Min left my office, I took out my mobile phone and sent Zhou Mo a WeChat message.
Very simple five words: "Let's get married!"
Two minutes later, Chen Min replied: "Bring your household registration book. We will meet at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau in an hour."
When I saw her words, I took a long breath. I don't know why, but at that moment, all my fatigue was swept away.
My household registration booklet was in the office drawer. I didn't hesitate anymore, took the household registration booklet and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I never thought that getting married could be so casual, as if it was just a matter of words.
All I can say is, this is child's play!
An hour later, Zhou Mo and I met at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She put on a very beautiful dress and put on exquisite makeup. She looked beautiful.
Without saying much, we walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Probably today was an unusual day, so there weren’t many people getting married, so the number we got was very high.
However, the divorce window is like going to a market. The divorce rate is really higher than the marriage rate these days.
Zhou Mo and I sat quietly on the lounge chairs waiting for the number to be called. Neither of us said much, as it seemed that it had become a fact.
It was almost our number, and I finally looked at Zhou Mo, who was sitting next to me without saying a word, and asked her, "Do you regret it?"
Without even thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, I was just thinking that I had fantasized about getting married countless times before, but when it came to this day, it didn't seem to be what I thought."
"sorry!"
"Don't say you're sorry. This should be the biggest difficulty you've ever encountered in your life. If I don't help you, no one may be able to help you."
I looked into her eyes, and there seemed to be light in her eyes.
She suddenly took my hand, smiled and said to me: "But can I have a small request?"
"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." Yes, she paid such a high price for me, and I will definitely respond to her request.
"After we get married, I don't want to divorce soon, even if An Lan has already come out by then, because I am also a good-looking woman, and I don't want to give others a stupid feeling. Even in name only, we have to go through a life together until
The day we get divorced, I can tell others that we have lived together, but we chose to divorce because we were not suitable for each other."
After saying that, she looked at me with pious eyes and asked, "Is that okay?"
I didn't think much about it because what she said was true and I should promise her. This is what she deserves for paying the price.
"Okay, I promise you."
"You can tell An Lan that our marriage is fake, but I hope you keep it secret from others."
I nodded and said no more words.
Our numbers were quickly called, and Zhou Mo and I headed to the window to apply for the certificate.
After going through some procedures, we got our marriage certificate in less than twenty minutes.
The moment I came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I seemed to be shouldering a lot of responsibilities, and I didn't feel relaxed at all.
Standing at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, a gust of cold wind blew in my face, making me sober for a while and in a daze for a while.
Until Zhou Mo said to me: "Now you come with me, and we will show the marriage certificate to my uncle."
I nodded and followed her into the car without saying much.
We didn't speak much along the way, and I felt mixed emotions.
Because I know that from the moment I got the marriage certificate, I started to owe her.
After a few dozen minutes' drive, we returned to her uncle's residence together.
I was really in a daze. I said such unpleasant things to her uncle in the morning, and I would not agree to anything she said.
But now, only a few hours have passed, and Zhou Mo and I have already received our marriage certificate.
It's really funny. I think there is really no way in this world that we can get married so quickly, right?
The car stopped at the entrance of the yard, and Zhou Mo's mother was building green plants in the yard alone. When she saw us coming back, she hurriedly welcomed us out.
"Mom, we are back again."
Zhou Mo's mother came over and said with a smile: "Mom, I wish you would come back every day. Aren't you going back to Beijing?"
"No, I plan to live in Chengdu from now on," Zhou Mo said, looked up at me, and then said to her mother with a smile: "Chen Feng and I are married."
Zhou Mo's mother didn't seem to react for a moment, so Zhou Mo directly took out the marriage certificate.
After Zhou Mo's mother saw the marriage certificate, her eyes widened and she looked incredulous.
Zhou Mo said again: "Mom, haven't you always wanted me to find a partner in Chengdu? Now I not only found one, but also got the certificate, shouldn't you be happy?"
Zhou Mo's mother was so excited that she said incoherently: "Momo, you have surprised my mother too much! You guys"
I immediately took over and said, "Auntie, I know this is unexpected, but Momo and I really love each other, and we will live a good life in the future."
"Okay, okay! Come on, come in and sit down. Don't stand outside in such a cold weather."
We walked into the house together, and Zhou Mo's mother was still very excited. It could be seen that she was very satisfied with me as her son-in-law, and she was also very happy that her daughter was getting married.
But I didn't see Zhou Mo's uncle. Zhou Mo asked her mother: "Mom, has Uncle Li gone to work?"
"Yes, if he comes back and finds out, he will definitely be happy. Whatever you want to eat tonight, mom will make it for you."
Zhou Mo smiled and replied: "I want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs and fried pork with chili."
"Okay, I'll do it right now." Zhou Mo's mother happily ran to the kitchen.
I'm still a little uncomfortable, it's so weird, we just met her mother yesterday as a fake couple, and now we meet her as a wedding.
It can only be said that Zhou Mo's mother also has a strong heart, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to accept it.
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Zhou Mo grabbed my hand and whispered to me: "Don't be nervous, look at how happy my mother is."
"The happier she is, the more I feel indebted."
"Then you should be nicer to me."
"Will do."
After chatting with Zhou Mo alone for a while, we went to help her mother cook.
At six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Mo's uncle came back from get off work.
Zhou Mo's mother immediately told him the news about Zhou Mo and I getting married. Uncle Zhou Mo smiled after hearing this, but he still couldn't feel how surprised he was, as if everything was as he expected.
.
He also called me to his study alone. I knew what he wanted to say to me, and I should have a face-to-face conversation with him.
His study room is full of "antique". From the furnishings to the planning, from the color to the materials, and the matching of the antique decoration, everything shows the characteristics of classic quietness. The bookshelves on the same wall are filled with all kinds of books.
The desk is spotless, giving people a sense of tranquility and calmness, and people don't feel restless at all.
We sat on a small sofa inside, and he sat on the other side of me.
Playing with the tea set on the coffee table, making tea, he said: "It seems that you have thought it over carefully, but I didn't expect you to move very quickly."
"Uncle, I" I said after a pause, "after I went back, I thought a lot and thought you were right. I should choose a life that is beneficial to me. Of course, I also want to save An Lan. I have nothing else."
Method."
"Don't fool me with fake marriages!"
His sudden words made me panic and my heartbeat began to speed up.
