Chapter 138, Getting a Certificate, When "Snow City" Becomes Reality

In the small courtyard of No. 6 Xila Hutong, Wang Duoyu was apologizing to Zhu Ling.

The latter had a stern face and looked very angry.

It was already the evening of the second day. He hadn't seen Zhu Ling last night because she had stayed overnight at her parents' house and hadn't come back at all.

Who made Wang Duoyu break his promise last night?
After a long while, Zhu Ling finally calmed down.

"Take the gift with you, we are leaving now."

"okay!"

Wang Duoyu smiled happily, carried the gift, and followed Zhu Ling out happily.

When the neighbors saw this scene, they all joked whether she was going back to her mother's home.

Some even say return home?
Experienced aunts can see that the day before yesterday, Zhu Ling was still a virgin, but when she went out yesterday morning, there was something wrong with her walking posture.

Although Zhu Ling, as a doctor, knows how to conceal her behavior, the aunties' sharp eyes can still see some clues.

Therefore, if you count it, the day before yesterday was the wedding day, and today can barely be considered the third day of returning to my parents' home.

Zhu Ling smiled and retorted: "Aunt Zhang, you must have been married many times, right? Otherwise, how do you know so clearly when to return home? Oh, Aunt, why do you look so bad? Are you catching a cold? Why don't you go see a doctor? Something doesn't seem right. Aunt Zhang, you often go to the doctor and drink a lot of Chinese medicine, but you still haven't gotten pregnant."

Don't think that just because she is well-behaved and sensible, she will scold you in different ways when she does.

After leaving the compound, Wang Duoyu gave her a thumbs up:
"You're worthy of being my wife. Your cursing skills are three-quarters of what I learned!"

"Bah, you? Do you know how to curse?" Zhu Ling glanced at him and said in a sneer.

Wang Duoyu was too lazy to argue with her. What was there to argue about when someone was swearing?

You can't just scold her again to prove yourself, right? Then do you still want this wife?

When Wang Duoyu arrived at Beijing Institute of Technology, he apologized immediately when he saw his mother-in-law.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry, I forgot last night, mainly because..."

Before he could finish, Fang Zhen smiled and asked him to sit down first, interrupting his spell.

In the living room, my father-in-law Zhu Qizhen still had a stern face, with the words "I'm unhappy" written all over his face.

Seeing his father-in-law like this, Wang Duoyu hurriedly apologized, but before he could say anything, Fang Zhen had already kicked Zhu Qizheng:
"Who are you giving a hard time to? Duoyu is here, why are you still sitting there? Can't you move?"

It is clear at a glance what Lao Zhu's family status is.

From the fact that Fang Zhen ordered Lao Zhu around at will and didn't even give him any face in front of Wang Duoyu, it can be imagined that Lao Zhu really had no status.

Wang Duoyu felt embarrassed at this moment.

Because of him, Lao Zhu was scolded. I'm afraid Lao Zhu hates him to death now?

Not only did his daughter get taken away, but even his wife was on Wang Duoyu's side. Of course, Old Zhu was very unhappy.

But his status is not good, so even if he is unhappy, he can only hold it in. What else can he do?

After the embarrassment, Wang Duoyu was invited to sit down, and his mother-in-law warmly greeted him and asked him about what happened yesterday.

Jingxi Hotel is not a place that ordinary people can go. Fang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Ling's family have lived in Beijing for so many years, so of course they are very clear about the threshold of this place.

Wang Duoyu went to meet those Americans and exchange mathematics with them.

This is mathematical research, we can’t be careless!
After a while, the four of them came to the dining table and started today's dinner.

At the dinner table, Lao Zhu took out a bottle of wine. This bottle of wine was sent by Wang Duoyu before, and it was quite large.

After two glasses of wine, Zhu Qizhen's courage gradually increased.

Old Zhu started the topic of getting the marriage certificate, as well as things like inviting people to the wedding banquet, such as setting up a few tables in Beijing and a few tables in Wang Duoyu's hometown.

When mentioning this matter, Wang Duoyu suddenly felt a headache. According to his idea, just setting up two tables would be enough.

There will definitely be a wedding banquet in his hometown, because Old Wang has so many relatives. If he doesn't hold the wedding banquet in his hometown, it would be unreasonable.

However, Wang Duoyu himself was not very happy about it. According to him, he just needed to go back to the village and treat the villagers to a meal.

Let’s forget about the capital and Ice City.

But if Zhu Ling needs to hold a wedding banquet, that’s no problem, she can hold it in Beijing.

Keeping things simple is still the main theme of this era, and extravagance and waste basically do not exist. Of course, the necessary forms cannot be omitted.

"Uncle, aunt, you know my parents passed away early. Now my eldest brother is the one who has the final say in my family, but actually, they all respect my opinions."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"So, what I mean is that in my hometown, we can just set up a few tables in the village. In Beijing, we can invite Lingling, her colleagues, classmates, and leaders to have a meal."

"As for my connections in Beijing, there are only a few people I can talk to. I'll send them invitations when the time comes. One table will be enough."

At most, he would invite Hua Luogeng, Tao Fangqi, Feng Kang, Lu Qikeng, Xia Peisu, Zhou Yanru and others to have a simple meal, but forget about the Harbin Institute of Technology.

When he gets married, he will return to Harbin Institute of Technology and invite Li Rui, Liu Deben, Wu Congxin, Liu Taoshun and seven people from dormitory 303 to have a meal outside the campus.

There are also Lin Dehong, Xiao Fang and Fan Rongqing. Forget about the others. Our relationship with them is average, so we won’t invite them.

Wang Duoyu doesn't really need to deal with the business of welcoming and seeing off guests.

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen and Fang Zhen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Although marriage is a major event in life, it still depends on the strength and ability of the newlyweds themselves. Besides, this era is not suitable for grand celebrations.

After this matter was finalized, the atmosphere of the subsequent conversations became much better. Zhu Ling took the initiative to mention the matter of getting the marriage certificate, and Wang Duoyu said that it depended on her opinion, and it didn't matter which day they got the certificate.

In fact, when they talked about this, Wang Duoyu forgot to talk to her about the children.

At first, she was still willing to have a baby, but later when talking about future plans, Zhu Ling became a little reluctant.

Wang Duoyu didn't have the throne to leave for his children, and he was only twenty-three years old this year, so he didn't continue to discuss this topic with her.

On the other hand, his mind is now full of time to settle the marriage issue, and then he needs to pay more attention to proving the Poincare conjecture in three-dimensional space.

From yesterday until now, Shing-Tung Yau, Smale and others have given him a lot of inspiration. The properties of manifolds, nonlinear differential equations, geometric tools, etc. have been appearing in his mind.

Therefore, he actually doesn't have that much energy to think about getting married, so just keep things simple!

If Zhu Ling wasn't older, Wang Duoyu felt that their current cohabitation relationship was good enough and there was no need to rush into getting a marriage certificate and going through the marriage process.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, Liu Xiaoli has made a clear choice.

Although they haven't officially broken up, both parties have tacitly reduced their correspondence because everyone needs to think calmly.

"How about we go get the certificate tomorrow morning?"

Zhu Ling smiled and said that her idea was very simple. She had already confessed herself, so she must get the marriage certificate first.

Wang Duoyu shrugged, smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem and he would listen to her.

Fang Zhen immediately stopped him and said:
"Duoyu, don't blame me for being nosy. You can't just listen to her on this matter. You also have to consider the date and whether it's suitable for getting a marriage certificate. If it's not suitable, then it's definitely not possible."

At this time, Zhu Qizhen had already taken out the calendar. Tomorrow is April 15th, the 19th day of the third lunar month, which is a good date for marriage and engagement. Taboo: No!

"Look here, Mom, look here. Tomorrow is a good day to get the marriage certificate!" Zhu Ling was overjoyed. The day she picked at random turned out to be so suitable.

Since it's suitable, let's get the marriage certificate tomorrow. There's no rush for the wedding ceremony.

If it were in later times, people might choose a more memorable day such as May 20th or May 21st to get the marriage certificate.

But in this era, there is no such saying, and Wang Duoyu would not think about it.

After all, he is married for the second time!
While eating, Wang Duoyu called her "Auntie" again, but she was still not satisfied. "Duoyu, you and Lingling are going to get your marriage certificate tomorrow, and you're still calling me "Auntie", is that appropriate?"

From tomorrow on, we are a family. It is really inappropriate to call her auntie anymore.

"mom!"

Zhu Ling blushed shyly and called out first, looking at her mother with a stern look: "Are you so impatient? We're not getting the marriage certificate until tomorrow. Can't I call you tomorrow?"

"We haven't even got the marriage certificate yet, and you're already turning your elbows outward?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but tease his daughter. He felt both happy and reluctant in his heart, with extremely complicated emotions.

"Why did you turn away? I didn't, Dad, don't talk nonsense."

In a word, the father and daughter started arguing again.

However, Wang Duoyu still called his parents and raised his glass quite formally to toast the two old people.

After drinking this glass of wine, Zhu Qizhen felt much better.

No matter how complicated his mood was, his daughter was getting married, and this future son-in-law had all the advantages except that he was getting married for the second time.

Tonight's meal lasted more than two hours, and three and a half bottles of wine were gone from the five bottles on the living room shelf.

Zhu Qizhen drank the most, finishing at least two bottles. Wang Duoyu also drank quite a bit, about one and a half bottles.

Wang Duoyu can drink quite well. He drank a bottle and a half of white wine and was still sober when he returned to Xila Hutong.

Even after returning home, he completed two fill-in-the-blank questions with Zhu Ling before falling into a deep sleep.

Alcohol is harmful to the human body. After Wang Duoyu sobered up the next day, he secretly vowed that he would never drink like this again.

After a hangover, the whole person's mental state becomes much weaker.

It seems a bit difficult for Wang Duoyu to maintain health in this life.

"Get up, get up, go wash up quickly, and change into something cooler, we're going to get the marriage certificate!"

Zhu Ling started shouting early in the morning and was very proactive.

Wang Duoyu was woken up and had no choice but to get up and wash.

After finishing the work, the two of them went out.

Today is Sunday and many people are on holiday, so as soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, they saw a lot of old ladies and old men, as well as a group of little kids, gathered at the door.

This group of aunts like to gossip, but today when they saw Zhu Ling and Wang Duoyu going out, they greeted them with a smile and didn't dare to say anything.

Obviously, after Zhu Ling's previous retort, they all became much more obedient and didn't dare to cause any trouble again.

At the street office, Zhu Ling and Wang Duoyu received letters of introduction and certificates of relationship. The latter's letter of introduction was very simple, and he could get one of them regardless of whether it was the Institute of Mathematics or Harbin Institute of Technology.

Of course, since they were getting the marriage certificate in Beijing, Wang Duoyu directly took the letter of introduction from the Institute of Mathematics.

"Hey, comrade, your household registration isn't from the capital, right?"

At the street office, the aunt who was working there checked Wang Duoyu's household registration book and asked in surprise.

Then several aunties nearby immediately cast curious glances at him.

When Wang Duoyu and Zhu Ling came in just now, the aunts heard clearly that the two young people wanted to apply for a marriage certificate.

This is a happy marriage, and Wang Duoyu is tall and handsome, while Zhu Ling is pretty and delicate. The two young people look like a couple.

But what is the situation with Aunt Song who is doing the work now?
A Beijing girl married a man from another city? What does Zhu Ling, a lesbian, think?

Wang Duoyu nodded without thinking, and Aunt Song immediately said:
"Comrade, that won't work. You need other proof of relationship, a letter of introduction from your local area."

"Auntie, didn't I give you a letter of introduction from our company? Isn't that enough?"

"Of course not enough!"

Aunt Song immediately said seriously:

"Comrade, if you are registered in Beijing, then of course there is no problem in giving me this letter of introduction from the Institute of Mathematics. However, since your registered residence is not in Beijing, you will definitely need a letter of introduction from your local area."

Zhu Ling, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask:

"Why not? I've asked before. It's not that difficult to get a marriage certificate between a Beijing resident and someone with a Beijing hukou. A letter of introduction from your employer is enough."

Seeing Zhu Ling was a little excited, Aunt Song said calmly:

"Girl, you're still young, and you're not from our neighborhood office. You don't have the final say on policy matters. I'm doing everything strictly according to the regulations."

"By the way, comrade, please wait aside while I talk to the girl."

This order was a bit impolite, but Wang Duoyu didn't mind making a fuss. Seeing this, he just went to the side and waited.

It was just a matter of getting a marriage certificate, but Wang Duoyu didn't expect so many things to happen.

But the other party is a responsible person after all, and he handles things according to policy, so there is nothing to say.

After he left, Aunt Song whispered to Zhu Ling:
"Lady, you're too young. How could you get married to someone with a non-local hukou? Don't you know how popular urban hukou is these days? Don't be fooled by others."

"Girl, please be more careful. There are all kinds of people these days. Haven't you read the book 'Snow City'? There are a lot of educated youth and country people in it. Do you know what they did to be able to move to the city?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, feeling both touched and helpless.

The other party was reminding her with good intentions, which showed that Aunt Song was very kind-hearted and enthusiastic, but Aunt Song obviously didn't understand the situation and was indeed a bit reckless.

And Wang Duoyu has already produced a letter of introduction from the Institute of Mathematics, so why is it not working?
"Aunt Song, thank you for your reminder, but you may not know the specific situation, so I don't blame you. This letter of introduction from the Institute of Mathematics is sufficient, right? There's no need for another letter of introduction, right?"

"This letter of introduction from the Institute of Mathematics is obviously fake. How could you really believe it?"

Aunt Song became even more excited when she heard this. She picked up the introduction and said seriously:
"Look, there are obvious creases, and these signatures look like ghostly scribbles. This must be fake. This red seal might be a radish stamp."

Seeing how clearly she spoke and with such solid evidence, people who didn't know her would have thought that Conan and Sherlock Holmes were her disciples.

Zhu Ling was speechless for a moment, and at the same time she understood how popular "Snow City" written by Wang Duoyu was.

Because the reasons Aunt Song gave were exactly the same as the plot in "Snow City", in which a supporting character, in order to be able to enter the city, took the initiative to imitate the handwriting of the factory leader and prepared a letter of introduction for himself.

Anyway, as long as you have a letter of introduction, who would run thousands of kilometers to verify it?
This kind of storyline was originally just a novel, but as time passed, many people found something wrong and it actually had an impact on reality.

It's just because some people really do this. The fake certificates and letters of introduction they make are so crude that they can't fool people at all.

This caused a headache for the public security department, and the sub-district office was forced to update relevant measures to prevent accidents.

Of course, Wang Duoyu and Zhu Ling only came to get their marriage certificate, which was not a big deal.

After all, Zhu Ling took the initiative to marry Wang Duoyu, not because she was coerced or deceived.

What's more, Zhu Ling is also a student of the Medical Sciences Academy and a college student. She must be knowledgeable and unlikely to be deceived.

But Aunt Song doesn't think so, because in "Snow City", a young man from the countryside deceived many college students.

So Aunt Song didn't want to watch Zhu Ling being deceived by Wang Duoyu's eloquence and deception.

According to the description in "Snow City", there really are people who commit marriage fraud, and the lesbian's fate was indeed pitiful.

"Auntie, you may not know this, but my husband's name is Wang Duoyu. He wrote the novel 'Snow City' that you mentioned. I know the situations you mentioned better than you do."

Zhu Ling simply stopped hiding it and directly confessed Wang Duoyu's identity:
"I know exactly what kind of person he is, so don't worry about me being cheated by him, Auntie. Please help us with the process quickly."

Aunt Song's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed, "He is Prince Yu? How can he be so young?"

The other aunts in the office were all dumbfounded.
