Lin Min held the flowers and went into the house with Gu Jingchuan. Under the electric light, she saw clearly that the flowers Gu Jingchuan gave her were the kind of plastic roses found in wedding supplies shops on the street.
There is a custom here. When a woman gets engaged, the man takes the bride price, and the woman buys this kind of plastic flower for the man as a token for the man to take home and put on the table.
Every young man who has made a marriage arrangement will have such flowers on the table.
When others see it, it is clear that he has a good reputation.
Lin Min held the leaves of the plastic rose with her hands. It was made of plastic cloth and was so lifelike that it looked no different from a real flower from a distance.
Although it is plastic, it is also a rose.
Oh, I even know how to give her a rose.
Lin Min looked at Gu Jingchuan with a half-smile, a little curious, why did he suddenly become enlightened?
Moreover, it was so big as soon as I got the idea!
"Where did this flower come from?" she asked, looking at him with a smile.
Gu Jingchuan replied uncomfortably, "I asked Jing Qi to push me to buy it on the street."
"Gu Jingchuan, where did you learn this trick? It's quite romantic."
Proposing to her is too trendy.
The key is that they are both "married" and even proposed!
Gu Jingchuan was embarrassed to say that this was the prosperity seen on TV.
Isn't it too shameless for him, an older man of 12 to 25 years old, to rely on his high school student brother for advice to chase women?
His eyes flashed slightly, he covered his lips and coughed lightly, "I've seen him in the military academy before."
"Oh, that's right. You really have seen the world."
Lin Min happily put the flowers into the bottle and put them on the table.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, we are going back."
Gu Jingqi and Gu Jingxiu tidied up the yard, opened the door curtain, poked their heads in and said.
Lin Min was surprised, "Ah? Jing Qi, Jing Xiu, you guys can live here. Why are you going back so late at night?"
Gu Jingqi was very self-aware today, "No, no, I have to go home tonight for something. Second sister-in-law, I have extinguished the briquette stove in the kang tube in the east room. You guys should go to bed early."
After saying that, Gu Jingqi carried his schoolbag, and the sister and brother swooped out of the door.
Lin Min was still immersed in the excitement of being proposed to, and her mood could not be calm for a long time.
The corners of her mouth were raised as she kept fiddling with the bouquet of plastic roses.
The more she behaved like this, the guiltier Gu Jingchuan felt, and he looked quite uncomfortable, "Everyone gives them real flowers. When the conditions are met in the future, I will buy them for you."
"Okay." Lin Min was in a happy mood and sprinkled some water on the plastic rose to make it look more realistic.
"Let's go get the certificate tomorrow morning." Gu Jingchuan suddenly spoke from behind her.
I asked for marriage, and she agreed.
I also brought my household registration book.
They should get a certificate and become a real legal couple.
"Get the certificate?" Lin Min turned around after hearing this, looking slightly surprised.
The corners of his mouth froze.
There was no feeling of joy at all.
Her reaction made the man who was also immersed in happiness feel his heart sink.
There was a dim light in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and asked cautiously, "Isn't it possible?"
Lin Min realized that her reaction would be misunderstood by Gu Jingchuan. Her eyes flickered and she explained, "No, that's it. The household registration book is not there either."
"Dad brought it." Gu Jingchuan had a household registration book in his hand, "Dad went to your house in the afternoon and brought the household registration book. Dad said, let us get the household registration certificate quickly, otherwise we will have nightmares all night.
many."
"They actually gave dad their household registration book obediently?"
Lin Min took the household registration book from Gu Jingchuan's hand and opened it, confirming that it belonged to the Lin family.
Her page is on the fourth page.
The date of birth above is clearly September 28, 1972.
My twentieth birthday has passed.
But she knew that the date of birth on it was more than a month earlier than her real birthday. Lin Min didn't know why Li Qiumei did this. Maybe it was to cover up the relationship between her and Tang Jingshu.
To distinguish them, even if someone investigates in the future, it can be seen from their birth dates that the two children were not born at the same time.
Lin Min stared at her page, lost in thought.
"Dad said that your mother is not here, and the household registration book was given to him privately by his father-in-law. He will come to get it tomorrow afternoon. We only have half a day in the morning."
His words implicitly reminded her that if she didn't go to get the certificate tomorrow, she wouldn't know when she would get the chance in the future.
They were going to the hospital for treatment, and he didn't want her to follow him without status.
"Gu Jingchuan, we can't get the certificate." Lin Min looked away from the household registration book and looked at him seriously.
Can't get the certificate...
As these four words entered his ears, Gu Jingchuan's head boomed, his heart suddenly stopped beating, his whole body was numb, and he was at a loss.
The fingertips of his hand on his thigh trembled slightly.
so?
She doesn't want to marry him?
She doesn't want to!
His fingers trembled, his fists were slightly clenched, his eyes were lowered, and it took a lot of effort to cover up the overwhelming emotions.
How happy I was a moment ago, how desperate I am at this moment.
If she didn't want to, why did she agree to his proposal?
Furthermore, from the outside, they appear to be husband and wife.
Lin Min came over and sat next to him. She felt the change in his mood. She was shocked to realize that her words were too direct and she was afraid that he might have misunderstood her.
She looked at the man sitting there with his teeth clenched and his body tense and statue-like, and her heart throbbed hard.
She stretched out her slender hand, held his fist, raised her other hand, and opened his clenched fist finger by finger.
She looked at the fingernail marks in his palm, stretched out her thumb and rubbed it gently.
A current flowed from the palm of his hand to his heart, reviving his heart that was about to stop beating.
He still lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes.
But with her touch, his frozen body gradually relaxed.
Lin Min held his big palm with both hands, leaned her head to his side, and said softly, "I mean, we can't get the certificate for the time being, and I didn't say I won't marry you. I agree."
I accepted your proposal, how could I regret it?"
She whispered softly into his ear, and the blood in his tense and numb body began to flow again.
He slowly raised his eyes, met her smart eyes, and moved his lips, "Why can't you get the certificate temporarily?"
She is of legal age.
Gu Jingchuan remembered Lin Min's birth date that he had seen in the afternoon.
The birthday was celebrated at his house, but at that time he didn't know her birthday at all, and he didn't think of asking her this question.
I didn't even celebrate her birthday at all.
Gu Jingchuan felt extremely regretful.
I feel like an asshole.
"Gu Jingchuan, I have a secret that I have never told you." She looked at his increasingly solemn expression, her voice still soft, "I haven't thought about how to say it tonight. If I don't
Let me tell you, you must not be at ease in your heart, thinking that I have second thoughts."
