The longed-for village system

Chapter 122 Receive the Certificate
"After swindling someone's daughter away, how could I not try to please my father-in-law? Besides, getting drunk once and swindling a beautiful wife is a very profitable business."

"Ugh! What nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Zhao Xiaogu laughed and slapped the man's arm.

Seeing Zhao Xiaogu's tender expression, Chen Qing immediately pulled her into his arms, relaxing as he inhaled her pleasant fragrance. "It's still the most peaceful time to sleep with my wife in my arms."

"Let go quickly, Mom and Dad will see." Zhao Xiaogu was a little shy. Although she had passed her parents' test, she was not married yet, so she still had to restrain herself a little in front of them.

"Don't worry! Even if we cause a huge commotion, Mom and Dad won't come in. They're still looking forward to holding their grandson!" Chen Qing continued to hug Zhao Xiaogu tightly before adding, "Come up and lie down! You must be exhausted from the flight this morning!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaogu stopped struggling, took off her slippers and lay down next to the man. She had been filming all day yesterday and had been bullied by the man all night. In addition, she had taken a plane and a car this morning, so she was quite tired.

When the two woke up, it was already dinnertime. After dinner, the family sat in the living room watching TV and discussing their marriage.

Knowing that Chen Qing was an orphan, Zhao's parents were sure he would be unaware of many things during the wedding ceremony. As his parents, they felt it was their duty to step in and take charge.

"Xiao Chen, what are your plans? Have you thought about when to get your marriage certificate? Our Xiao Gu is not young anymore. It's not good for a woman's health to have a child after she turns thirty. Since you've decided, we mean you should get your marriage certificate and have a baby as soon as possible."

"Mom, what are you saying! We're not in a hurry."

Zhao Xiaogu felt embarrassed when her mother spoke so bluntly, since having a child was a private matter for the couple.

“What do you mean there’s no rush? You, as the older sister, shouldn’t fall too far behind your younger brother. You’re already thirty years old, when are you planning to have a baby if not now?” Zhao’s mother looked at Zhao Xiaogu with a serious expression.

The saying "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring" is a concept that is even more serious for the older generation. Although the concept of having sons or daughters is much less important now, not having children is still unacceptable.

“Mom, this child isn’t something you can just decide to have. We’ll make our own plans.” Zhao Xiaogu said, glancing at Chen Qing with her beautiful eyes.

Chen Qing also noticed Zhao Xiaogu's expression and responded, "Yes! Mom, don't worry, we're still young, so let nature take its course. But we should think about getting a marriage certificate first."

Although he had met his parents, nothing felt as secure as having a certificate in hand. Chen Qing felt he should get the certificate first, preferably in the next couple of days, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to leave the village again.

"There's no time like the present, so you two go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate tomorrow! We'll look for a date for the wedding banquet later. That's settled then." Zhao's mother made the decision for the two of them with a wave of her hand.

This time, Zhao Xiaogu remained silent. Since she had decided on this man, she didn't care when they got their marriage certificate. Since her mother had said so, she would cooperate. Of course, she would also consider the man's wishes.

"Okay! I brought my household registration booklet and ID card, so I'll go pick them up tomorrow, Mom!"

Chen Qing responded to Zhao Xiaogu's gaze with a voice, which was exactly what he wanted, saving him the trouble of making another trip.

The two naturally slept in the same room that night, but Zhao Xiaogu refused to give the man any chance to bully her. When no one was around, she could cooperate with the man to bully her, but now that her parents were in the next room, how could she face them if she made a noise?

On the morning of June 20th, accompanied by their cousin Sun Xiaoxiao, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu secretly went to the Langfang Civil Affairs Bureau. After queuing for half an hour, they finally got their marriage certificate for 9 yuan.

Of course, the couple was spotted by other couples in line, and many of them secretly took pictures of them getting their marriage certificate. Soon, news of their marriage registration spread online.

Just as the media and reporters were about to contact Zhao Xiaogu's studio to confirm the news, Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing had already made it public. The two naturally knew that their marriage registration couldn't be kept secret any longer, so they figured it was better to announce it openly than to have it confirmed by reporters later.

10:13:14.

Chen Qing: Miss Zhao, I'm so lucky to have met you. I wish us a happy marriage.

Zhao Xiaogu: Mr. Chen, please guide me for the rest of my life. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.

The couple's announcement completely confirmed the authenticity of the netizens' reports; they really did register their marriage today.

Seeing the couple post intimate photos of themselves holding their marriage certificates, their friends immediately left comments to offer their blessings.

Huang Shi: Congratulations to Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu on your marriage! I'll cook you a big meal to celebrate when you get back.

Teacher He: Our Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu have finally gotten their marriage certificate! Hooray! Come back soon so we can celebrate with you.

Peng Peng: Congratulations, Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Xiao Gu! Now I can rightfully call you sister-in-law!
Sister Zhang Zifeng: Congratulations to Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Xiao Gu on your marriage! We hope you'll give us a little nephew soon!

Besides the MCs of Mushroom House, Xiao Gu's group of 90s girls also sent their blessings immediately. Tangtang, Mimi, Shishi, Qinqin, Yaya and other beauties all popped up to send their blessings, and @the groom Chen Qing treated everyone to dinner.

Next came the male and female actors who had worked with Zhao Xiaogu, who also sent their blessings.

In short, news and blessings about the two getting their marriage certificate emerged one after another in the morning, and the news of their marriage certificate was immediately pushed to the top of the trending search list.

“Brother-in-law, you’re really my brother-in-law now. By the way, when are you going to give my cousin a diamond ring? She’s already got the marriage certificate, it would be a shame for her not to give me a diamond ring!” Sun Xiaoxiao reminded her idol at the right time.

Zhao Xiaogu also turned her gaze to Chen Qing. This was an essential ritual for a woman, and part of her sweet memories for the future.

"Don't worry! The ring is ready. I originally wanted to give it to you, but I wanted to find a more suitable opportunity. I'll put it on you when we get back," Chen Qing said sweetly, taking Zhao Xiaogu's hand.

"Hehe! Thank you, honey."

Zhao Xiaogu responded sweetly, and if there weren't outsiders around, she would definitely have kissed the man as a reward.

"Ugh! Cousin, you've really gone too far." Sun Xiaoxiao rubbed her arm, looking like she couldn't stand Zhao Xiaogu anymore.

Back at Zhao Xiaogu's parents' house, there were obviously many more people at home than yesterday. Zhao Xiaogu immediately introduced them to Chen Qing. It turned out that the people who came today were Zhao Xiaogu's uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts.

Previously, when Zhao Xiaogu brought her boyfriend home, their relationship was still uncertain. If they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, there was no need to bother the rest of the family. But today, the two of them got their marriage certificate, which is a completely different matter. He is now the son-in-law of the Zhao family, so naturally the rest of the family had to come and meet him.

"The bride and groom are back! Everyone, light the firecrackers!"
