No one wanted to come to the wedding ceremony. Zhang Chi left the service hall and discussed with Melika who to find someone to take care of their affairs.
The two made a few phone calls and made an appointment. They found that there were quite a lot of people getting married these days, and they had to wait at least ten days to get married.
So Zhang Chi had no choice but to continue making phone calls, and finally determined a closer time, that is, four days later, at a church about forty minutes away, a pastor was available, so the two decided to go there and finish the process.
.
After getting in the car, Zhang Chi started the car. Suddenly something popped into his mind, so he asked Melika: "Do you want to go to my uncle's house first?"
Melika thought for a moment and asked: "Do you want to tell your uncle or your parents about our affairs first?"
Zhang Chi really hadn't thought about this issue, but after thinking about it for a while, he made a decision: "Let's do it tomorrow. Let's talk to my parents today first."
Even if your parents are not present about your marriage, you must tell your parents first, and then your uncle.
Although it is not important to know this matter one after another, what if the parents are not happy about it? Someone knows about their son's marriage before he does, so it is inevitable that he will think too much about it. It is not necessarily that his parents will think too much about it.
But it is better to do less than to do more.
So Zhang Chi drove the car directly back to the ranch instead of going around to the uncle's restaurant as usual.
Returning to the ranch, the two stopped the car.
Only then did Zhang Chi remember what he had said to Cannon when he left, and took Melika to tell her about his plan to rebuild a house.
In the past, Zhang Chi had not decided to become a couple with Melika, so Zhang Chi could just make the decision. But now that both of them have decided to get married, they have to seek Melika's opinion on the house that has not yet been built.
Melika listened very carefully. What she is best at is these things. She has enough previous work experience. She has also been honed on her own. She is no better than Zhang Chi, a bastard.
.
After hearing what Zhang Chi said, Melika not only looked at the structural diagram provided by Zhang Chi, but also asked about the cost of building the house, and then called Cannon and Brian to ask them to come over.
Waiting for Cannon and Brian to come over, Melika discussed with them the other houses on the ranch, such as the cowboy dormitory, the dedicated tool room, and the stables that can no longer be connected to the cowshed.
It's better to have one alone.
In short, Zhang Chi used to make do with it, but Melika is planning to make a formal plan and separate all the areas.
So Melika asked, Cannon and Brian said that the three of them were sitting at the table and talking in a decent way.
Zhang Chi has now become the hands-off shopkeeper.
Zhang Chi was so happy in his heart that from now on all these troublesome things would be left to Melika, and he could just live happily and wait for death.
After talking for a while, Melika stood up and said to Zhang Chi, "Would you like to go see the venue?"
Zhang Chi immediately said: "Just go, you are professional."
In fact, Zhang Chi just didn't want to go. Since Melika managed these specialties, she would naturally do the work for her, and Zhang Chi had no objection.
Again, as long as his gourd is not involved, the rest is up to the wife.
Looking at Melika, Cannon, and Brian disappearing at the door, Zhang Chi said happily: "Look, it's great to have a wife, it's like marrying a free housekeeper."
It has to be said that Melika is much more serious than Zhang Chi when it comes to this kind of matter. Not only did she personally visit the place where the house is to be built, she also specifically observed the topography of the current ranch buildings, and then listed
One improvement plan after another.
Now that I have become a boss lady, my way of looking at the ranch is completely different.
When it was time for dinner, Melika told Zhang Chi everything at the dinner table. How could Zhang Chi be in the mood to listen to all this?
After talking for a while, Melika lost interest, closed the small book in front of her, and concentrated on eating.
After a while, Melika said to Zhang Chi: "Invite your lawyer over in two days. I'll ask my lawyer to come over. Let's sort out all the property together and then discuss what to do. My opinion is to sort out all the property."
The ranches were merged into the name of a ranching company, and we established a jointly held fund to manage these properties."
"OK, it's your decision." Zhang Chi waved his hand and refused again.
Melika said: "When the certificate comes out, I have to change my bank card. Not only this, but many other things need to be changed."
"Why change this?"
Zhang Chi was a little confused after hearing this.
Melika said: "Now that we are married, according to custom, I will take your last name."
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that this was what happened.
After getting married in the United States, generally speaking, the wife should take her husband's surname. In the past, Melika's full name was Melika Marie Collins, with her Christian name in the middle. After getting married, Melika's full name will be Melika.
Ka Marie Zhang took the surname Zhang Chi.
"You don't have to change it, I don't mind it."
Zhang Chi doesn't pay too much attention to this point, because when we Chinese marry, the daughter-in-law will change her surname to her husband's, regardless of the original surname.
Even in ancient times, it was just adding the husband's surname, such as Liu Chen, Zhang Li, etc. Nowadays, even this is no longer the case, and you don't hear the husband's surname added to the title of "Madam" or "Mrs."
.
Melika said: "It's better to change it."
"Are you afraid that I won't pay any money?" Zhang Chi joked.
After hearing this, Melika glared at Zhang Chi and repeated: "It's better to change it."
It seems that Melika does not want to continue to use her family name after marriage.
"It's up to you." When Zhang Chi saw that Melika wanted to change, he had no objection.
After the two finished eating, they cleared the table, and Zhang Chi started to contact his family.
After a while, there was no response from his mother, so Zhang Chi had to call his sister first.
My sister Zhang Juan arrived and picked her up quickly. The family of three was having a meal. It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit tense. Zhang Chi's little nephew now had a sad face, and it seemed that a golden bean fell on his face. He didn't know why he got hurt so early in the morning.
Cut it in one meal.
Based on Zhang Chi's guess, this little guy definitely didn't want to go to school, or he didn't do his homework well, and it must be related to his studies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so early in the morning.
Zhang Juan's face changed instantly when she saw her younger brother. The old man's face was filled with a smile: "Why are you so free today and calling me on video so early in the morning?"
"Originally I called mom, but for some reason no one answered, so I called you instead," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"Maybe mom went to work and left her phone at home. She often does this," Zhang Juan said with a smile.
"If you want to tell mom anything, just wait for me to call you at noon and ask the neighbor to inform mom."
Zhang Chi said: "I'm getting married."
Zhang Juan was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react for a while.
"What did you say?" Zhang Juan felt that there was something wrong with her ears.
Brother-in-law Sun Yanping finally understood and said, "Dachi said he is getting married."
"I heard it, do you want to repeat it?"
Turning back and glaring at her husband, Zhang Juan immediately asked Zhang Chi: "Which girl is from which family? What is her name? What kind of job does she do?"
At this time, Melika came over and waved to Zhang Juan on the screen: "My name is Melika."
How could she not be impressed by Melika Zhangjuan? No foreigner she had ever seen in her life could use a slap in the face. To be precise, it was just Melika. When she bought a car for her father, she was so impressed by Melika.
I was deeply impressed. I couldn't help it, but there was only one foreign-faced person in the group, and he was tall and stood out from the crowd.
"Hello, hello" Zhang Juan laughed immediately.
I thought to myself: I knew this guy didn't have any good intentions. When I was buying the car, my eyes almost fell on the foreign girl. Now it's just like I guessed...
Zhang Juan instantly felt that she had noticed this a long time ago. The two of them had been flirting with each other since that time. How could this matter escape her sharp eyes?
In fact, she saw a ghost, Zhang Chi didn't even see it, she saw something.
Zhang Juan's biggest impression of Melika is that she is tall. As the old saying goes, if a father is too tall, a mother is too tall. With Melika's big head, her nieces and nephews will definitely not be short in the future.
The height problem of Lao Zhang's family is probably solved.
When she thought of this, Zhang Juan became enthusiastic and grabbed Melika and started chatting. As expected, she was a teacher and she talked a lot. She started talking about Zhang Chi's scandals when she was a child.
Melika was very happy to hear this. Her living environment was different from Zhang Chi's. Who knew what Zhang Chi would be like when she was a child.
Until Sun Yanping started urging.
You must know that it is night here in the United States, but it is morning over there in China. It is early in the day. Adults have to go to work and children have to go to school. How can Zhang Juan talk endlessly about so many things.
"Brothers and sisters, let's talk later when we have time. I have to rush to work now."
Zhang Juan hung up the video with some reluctance. She had a good impression of Melika. She was pretty and spoke in a calm tone. It was obvious at first glance that she had a good temper.
Zhang Chi didn't know that his sister would give this evaluation to Melika, and Zhang Chi didn't agree with it either.
"Your sister is very good at talking." Melika said goodbye to Zhang Juan, waited for the screen to go dark, and then turned to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi said: "You have to meet her face to face. She can talk to you for days and nights without feeling sleepy. If you add my mother to it, it will be even worse."
Melika couldn't help laughing when she heard what Zhang Chi said.
Melika thinks Zhang Chi's sister is very interesting, and her personality is nothing like Zhang Chi's. Zhang Juan is really good at talking and speaks in a very organized manner.
But soon, Melika couldn't laugh anymore, because it was getting dark, and there is a saying that one knows the taste by its marrow, and Zhang Chi was a little dishonest.
