After changing their household registration and getting the marriage certificate, the three of them said goodbye to Lu Zhubu and turned to leave. At this time, Lu Zhubu's voice came from behind: "Brother Chu, the wedding date is set, remember to send an invitation to Grandpa Lu, I will also join in the fun."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."

After leaving the government office, Zhao Guizhi was already standing outside with her two children. Chu Xiao hurried forward and called out, "Auntie."

"Well, have you guys finished all your business?" Zhao Guizhi asked.

"The name has been changed, the land registration has been moved out, and the marriage certificate has been received." Yan Zhenshen replied.

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Guizhi turned around and grabbed Chu Xiao's hand: "From now on, you can't call me aunt, you have to call me mother instead."

Chu Xiao had never called anyone "mom" before, and for a moment he was unable to say it. He lowered his head shyly, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

Zhao Guizhi was extremely happy, but she felt a little distressed when she saw his frail appearance. "I asked someone to look at dates. The earliest date is ten days from now. The 18th and 26th of next month are also suitable for marriage. I think the sooner you get married, the better."

Chu Xiao naturally had no objection, and Yan Zhenshen also nodded: "Then ten days later."

Zhao Guizhi felt more relaxed. He pulled Chu Xiao and said, "It won't be long now. I'll buy some more meat for Xiao Xiao. He's too skinny."

"Mom, he changed his name. From now on, you should call him Xiao Ge'er instead of Xiao Xiao."

Yan Zhenshen's words really touched Chu Xiao's heart. Every time he heard others call him Xiao Xiao, he felt like they were not calling him anymore. At the same time, he also realized that he was not from this world.

"Okay, then, Xiao'er, let's go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth and I'll make clothes for you." Zhao Guizhi picked up the backpack and took the man to leave.

"Mom, the village chief is still here." Chu Xiao had to remind the overly excited Zhao Guizhi.

The village chief finally saw someone realize that he was a real person, and said with a smile: "You guys go and do your work, I will go back by myself in a while."

"Village chief, I'm sorry for what I said today. I couldn't control my emotions, so I said so much. Will it have any impact on you?" Chu Xiao scratched his head, looking annoyed.

"Nothing, Lu Zhubu also said that even the county magistrate can't interfere with your family affairs." The village chief continued with a smile: "Be good in the Yan family in the future. It is said that those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. If you live a good life, there will be less gossip."

How could he blame Brother Chu? The affairs of the Chu family were not something he, as the village chief, could manage. Moreover, Chu Xiao spoke well of him later, so he was very happy.

After saying goodbye to the village chief and crossing another street, you can see shops of all sizes, including restaurants, bakeries, cloth shops, and grocery stores.

Most of the people who spend money here are people in the town who have extra money, while most of the villagers go to the west city where the market is more lively.

There were all kinds of things for sale inside, especially the yellow little chickens and ducklings. Chu Xiao was so cute that he couldn't move his feet. He wanted to imitate those little kids and pull the adults' sleeves and shout that they wanted to buy something, but he didn't have the courage to do it.

Zhao Guizhi dragged him into the cloth shop. Looking at the gray and black cloth hanging in the shop, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"What kind of cloth do you need? We have linen and cotton." A woman in apricot yellow clothes asked.

Chu Xiao unconsciously took a few more glances at other people. The fabrics in this store didn't look very good, but the proprietress was wearing bright and beautiful clothes.

"Buy some fabric for my son-in-law to make clothes, and pick out some cotton for his lining." Zhao Guizhi pulled Chu Xiao in front of her, pointed at him and said, "Do you have any brightly colored fabrics that are suitable for my little brother?"

"Yes." The woman looked Chu Xiao up and down, then walked into the inner room and took out a few pieces of cloth: "Bright colors are easy to get dirty, I dare not put them outside for people to touch. Look, the green color is very bright, the purple is not bad, and the red one is the most festive to wear."

"Xiao brother, which one do you like?" Zhao Guizhi thought they were all good. "How about red? It will be perfect for the banquet."

"Mom, red is too bright." Chu Xiao felt that he had a bit of choice syndrome.

He looked at Yan Zhenshen expectantly, hoping that he would make a decision, and he did get a response.

"Forget about the red, get some purple and blue to make two sets of clothes for daily wear, and get some black linen and more cotton. A total of four sets of clothes should be enough for now."

Yan Zhenshen asked Chu Xiao for his opinion after he finished speaking, "Is it feasible?"

"I just need two sets of clothes to change into. I'll make new sets for my parents, my brothers and sisters, and you, too."

After saying that, he picked up the red cloth and gestured to Yan Sanmei: "Sanmei is so beautiful, red is the most suitable color for her."

"Brother Xiao, I don't want it. I have clothes to wear." Yan Sanmei took a step back. She was twelve years old and she knew the situation at home very well. How could she have extra money to make clothes?

Chu Xiao pretended to be troubled: "But I am the only one in the family who wears new clothes. I feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, I won't do it."

Yan Sanmei knew that Chu Xiao said this on purpose. She felt a little shy and her face turned red. She nodded sheepishly, "Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Chu Xiao felt relieved when he heard Brother Xiao. He turned around and said to the proprietress, "My sister will get the red one, the purple one for my two younger brothers, and the cyan one for my parents. As for Brother Shen, he will get the black one. Also, give me the cloth for the quilt, and make it bigger."

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away." The proprietress smiled brightly. She didn't expect that this family with tattered clothes was actually a big customer.

Zhao Guizhi wanted to speak up to stop him, but seeing how happy Chu Xiao was, she didn't say anything.

"The total is 1,360 coins. I'll give you 60 coins, and you'll give me 1,300 coins."

Chu Xiao took out silver from Yan Zhenshen's pocket to pay the money, carefully put the cloth into the backpack, and left the cloth shop.

Perhaps because she was used to taking money from men's pockets, Chu Xiao wanted to buy everything he saw along the way, including candied haws, meat buns, osmanthus cake, pork, pork bones, candy, and of course the chickens and ducklings he had set his eyes on early in the morning, and he bought five of each.

After he had bought enough, Yan Zhenshen bought some rice, flour, grain and oil, and then the family returned home.

All the things were loaded onto the ox cart. This time Chu Xiao did not sit in the front, but Yan Sanmei on the left and Yan Zhenbei on the right. The three of them sat on the cart, surrounding the cages of chicks and ducklings, their eyes shining.

Yan Zhenshen would occasionally turn his head to look over and would laugh unconsciously.

He was a little skeptical. Was this person really 25 years old as he said? He looked less mature than his third sister.

Chu Xiao looked up and met the eyes of the man driving the car. "Why are you looking at me instead of the road?"

Yan Zhenshen pursed his lips and smiled, retracted his gaze, and continued to wave the small whip in his hand.

The cow mooed twice, and its four hooves moved faster and faster.
