Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

The next day, early in the morning.

After having breakfast, Chen Jun didn't rush to the factory. Instead, he rode his bicycle to the street office.

After waiting at the door for a few minutes, Director Wang arrived for work.

"Chen Jun, why are you here?"

Director Wang glanced at Chen Jun with some surprise, then gestured for them to come to his office to talk.

Once inside, Chen Jun took out a small bag of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.

"Director, I want to get a marriage certificate with my partner, and I need a certificate from your neighborhood committee. Here are my documents."

marry?

Director Wang smiled upon hearing this: "You're already so eager to get married at such a young age? You've been dating for quite a while, haven't you?"

Chen Jun chuckled and didn't offer any further explanation.

Director Wang didn't waste any time and quickly issued the certificate for Chen Jun.

"Let me know when you're having your wedding banquet, and I'll give you a red envelope as a gift."

As the director of the subdistrict office, Director Wang had long heard about the banquet at the No. 95 courtyard house, especially the one when Chen Jun was in charge of cooking, the aroma of which could be smelled even from the subdistrict office.

In addition to his regular visits, Director Wang had long wanted to hold a banquet at the No. 95 courtyard house.

"Okay, I'll definitely send you an invitation!"

Regardless of Director Wang's motives, attending the banquet at the courtyard house was a way of giving him face.

Moreover, her arrival will definitely deter some petty thieves, such as the Jia family. That guy Jia Dongxu, who claims to have a mental illness, certainly won't dare to cause trouble.

Let alone him, even if Jia Zhangshi came out of there, she wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Director Wang.

After obtaining the certificate, Chen Jun went to the steel rolling mill without stopping. After getting approval from Director Yang, he went straight to Chen Xueru's house.

When he arrived, Chen Xueru was already waiting at the door.

"Ready?" Chen Jun raised an eyebrow at Chen Xueru: "Once you get the marriage certificate, there's no going back, okay?"

"Hmph, whoever goes back on their word is a little dog!"

Chen Xueru patted her small bag, then jumped and sat on the back of the bicycle.

"Take me to get our marriage certificate!"

"Got it!"

Chen Jun made a clean U-turn and took Chen Xueru to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

There weren't many people getting their marriage certificates today, so Chen Jun and Chen Xueru waited a little while before taking their documents and going through the process.

It took about half an hour for the two to successfully register their marriage.

Looking at the marriage certificate, which resembled an award certificate and was decorated with wheat patterns, Chen Jun felt a surge of excitement.

get married!

My buddy got married!

From now on, I'll be able to enjoy a warm and cozy life with my wife and kids.

However, the couple's decision to register their marriage was impromptu yesterday, and they still need to discuss the specific date for the wedding banquet.

But having the certificate means it's legal. Chen Xueru can stay overnight in the courtyard house whenever she wants, and she no longer has to worry about being reported.

Ah!

Thinking about reporting it, Chen Jun couldn't help but scratch his chin.

He was also curious to know who in the hospital was targeting him.

It's unlikely that Xu Damao is the one. Although he's a real scoundrel, he and I have a pretty good relationship.

It's even less likely that Sha Zhu would do that. That kid would be a squad leader under me. Unless he's out of his mind, he wouldn't be so foolish as to report me.

As for the second uncle, the third uncle, and Yi Zhonghai, the third uncle is probably the least likely to report himself.

It's hard to say about Yi Zhonghai, and it's also hard to say about Liu Haizhong.

As for the Jia family, it's even harder to say.

So Chen Jun also wanted to take this opportunity to trick some people in the hospital.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun put away the marriage certificate and said to Chen Xueru with a smile, "Wife, you're mine now. Let's go buy some things first, then go shopping and eat, and then have hot pot at our house tonight."

"It's fine whether we go out tonight or not, but let's not tell the neighbors in the courtyard about us getting our marriage certificate yet."

Chen Xueru nodded: "Why would I tell them? I'm not familiar with them."

Got it!

This daughter-in-law is obedient!

Getting a marriage certificate today seems simple, but that's because the two of them kept everything simple.

However, Chen Jun still wanted to give Chen Xueru the proper sense of ceremony, so the two of them decided not to work today and instead went shopping and strolled around Beijing. At noon, they went to a restaurant downstairs from Dongxing Building.

According to Mr. Liu, Dongxinglou is the top of the eight famous restaurants in Beijing, and its prices are among the highest. The head chef, Chef Fan, is said to have ancestors who were imperial chefs who cooked for the emperor.

The first meal after the wedding must be a good one!

Chen Xueru had no objection to this; she was a well-off woman herself and was quite willing to spend money on food and drink.

Especially on such a special day, it couldn't be more appropriate to spend some money on a good meal, and besides, she had always wanted to come to Dongxinglou to try their food.

Unfortunately, Chen Xueru wasn't particularly impressed with the meal; in fact, she felt it wasn't as good as what Chen Jun cooked.

This is actually quite normal. Chef Fan, who is in charge of Dongxinglou, is definitely at the level of a second-level cook. However, he only personally cooks when there are distinguished guests or special occasions. Otherwise, other people in the kitchen cook the food.

For ordinary people, the taste is naturally excellent, but for Chen Xueru, who has become quite picky, it's really just so-so.

After spending the day out, Chen Xueru started clamoring to go home for hot pot around 6 p.m.

If you count the days, it's been a long time since she's had Chen Jun's spicy hot pot.

She'd been craving tripe, beef, and meatballs for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen Jun took Chen Xueru home.

This time was different from before. After entering the courtyard, the two did not separate, but held hands and walked through the courtyard openly.

When passing by the Intermediate People's Court, we encountered Jia Dongxu, who was comforting his child at the entrance.

Seeing the two holding hands, Jia Dongxu shook his head vigorously.

"Eh~~~"

"What kind of behavior is this? Pulling and tugging like that, don't you feel ashamed at all!"

Let alone Chen Jun's romantic relationship, even he and Qin Huairu have never been seen cuddling or pulling each other in the courtyard in their entire lives.

If this scene were seen by middle-aged women wearing red armbands on the street, they would definitely give the two of them a lecture on ideology.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun stopped and glanced at Jia Dongxu.

With just one glance, Jia Dongxu shrank back and quickly changed the subject: "Bang Geng, stop messing around, or I'll spank you tonight."

Ah!

Seeing this, Chen Jun ignored him and led Chen Xueru towards the backyard: "We're having hot pot today, and we'll have some drinks too. Life is so comfortable."

"Okay, then I'll have a little bit with you, but I can only have a tiny bit."

Watching the two figures disappear through the doorway, Jia Dongxu straightened up again.

"Pah! Don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely report you to the neighborhood committee and the security department!"

"Dongxu, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu, who was cooking at home, heard the noise and quickly came out of the house.

Why should I complain to the neighborhood committee office and the security department?

They've only been quiet for a few days, and Jia Dongxu is already up to his old tricks again?

"It's nothing!" Jia Dongxu replied impatiently.

Qin Huairu sighed, "Hey, don't cause any more trouble at home. Just wait patiently for Mom to come home."
