Seeing Pingping's embarrassed look, the elder sister stopped teasing the girl. She took out a piece of paper and wrote a certificate. At that time, marriage certificates were still paper, handwritten ones. They were not even the big red paper ones that would be used for the 50th anniversary next year. They were just a piece of paper similar to a letter of introduction.

The eldest sister completed the marriage registration, stamped it with the seal of the Military Control Commission and their department, and gave it to Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng and Pingping's marriage registration was completed.

Zhao Cheng looked at the simple marriage certificate in his hand and wondered if he had been a little impulsive.

Seeing Zhao Cheng in a daze, Pingping immediately snatched the marriage certificate, took a look at it, and stuffed it directly into her pocket. This is her guarantee, she can't let Zhao Cheng lose it!

The eldest sister looked at Zhao Cheng and the others, laughed and joked: "What? Regret it? It's too late to regret it now!"

"How could that be? Thank you, sister! My name is Zhao Cheng, but I don't know your last name, sister?" Zhao Cheng came to his senses and explained immediately.

"Just call me Sister Wang. I just arrived in Beiping City not long ago and was assigned to this job. If you have any problems in the future, just remember to come to me! Okay, you two go home and celebrate, and I will continue to work!" Sister Wang smiled and sent Zhao Cheng and the other two out the door, then turned back to continue working. She was too busy.

Zhao Cheng and Pingping walked out of the Military Control Commission. Zhao Cheng looked around blankly, feeling a little unreal. Getting married already? And being forced into marriage by a little girl?

"Okay, Brother Cheng, take me home quickly! I still have to pack up and go back to work in a few days!" Pingping achieved her goal and stopped pretending to be aggrieved. She spoke directly to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng saw Pingping become more cheerful, and he didn't think much of it. "Then wait for me for a while, I'll go back and ask the director for leave and take you home!" Zhao Cheng figured it out. What's the big deal? Picking up a young wife for free, without any dowry, house, or car, is not bad!

When Zhao Cheng came out again, he took Pingping directly to Yard 95.

"Who did you sell the house to?" Zhao Cheng remembered and asked as he walked.

"It was sold to the chairman of the Loushi Steel Rolling Mill. He was quite familiar with the young lady before and got a lot of supplies with the help of her. So when he heard that I was handling the real estate on behalf of the young lady, he bought the house and arranged for me to be a kitchen helper in the steel rolling mill canteen as a formal employee, and he paid me 10 yuan a month." Pingping said casually.

"Lou-style steel rolling mill? The one in Loubancheng?" Zhao Cheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was him. He offered the most suitable price, so I sold it to him. They gave me this job because I said I wanted to support myself! Usually I just cut wood and clean. I'm old enough to have children now. I'm so old that no one would want me to be a maid in other families!" Pingping said dejectedly.

"Okay, that's good. It's a new society now. Why do you still want to be a maid? That's exploitation of you! The country won't allow it!" Zhao Cheng comforted.

"How much did the house sell for?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I sold fifty small yellow croakers. The money is here. Do you want it? I'll give it to you!" Pingping touched her bag and said in a low voice.

"Forget it, just keep it for yourself. In case your young lady comes back one day and asks you for money, you'll have something to keep in mind." Zhao Cheng waved his hand. He was not short of money now. What did he need Pingping's money for?

"Okay, if you need money, tell me and I'll give it to you! Our young lady left with the intention of going abroad. I guess she should have gone abroad with Section Chief Zhang by now! She won't come back!" Pingping sighed.

The two didn't speak again. More than ten minutes later, Zhao Cheng brought Pingping to Yard 95.

"The west wing I bought was just renovated a few days ago." Zhao Cheng said to Pingping as he opened the door.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, who are you bringing?" Aunt Yan's voice came from behind Zhao Cheng.

"Aunt Yan, this is my wife. We just got the marriage certificate today!" Zhao Cheng turned around and said to Yan Fugui's wife who was pregnant.

"Oh, your wife, this girl is so pretty! Xiao Zhao, you are so lucky!" Aunt Yan was still very kind at this time.

"Let's go home first. Aunt Yan, you should go back to your room too. Be careful. The baby is about to be born. Don't fall!" Zhao Cheng opened the door and let Pingping in, and said to Aunt Yan.

"Hey, I only have a few days left. This is a good opportunity for me to go out for a walk. Then I'll feel better, right?" Aunt Yan held her waist and walked slowly in the small open space in the front yard.

"Okay, then you be careful. I'll go back to the house and settle my wife first!" After saying that, Zhao Cheng turned around and went back to the house, closing the door.

"Brother Cheng, your little house is decorated very nicely!" Pingping walked out of the small warehouse and said as she looked around.

"Deal with it, it's nothing compared to where you used to live!"

"That's different. That house belongs to the young lady, and this house is mine! How can it be the same? This will be my home from now on!" Pingping sighed. She finally has a home again!

"Take your money and follow me!" Zhao Cheng locked the door and whispered to Pingping.

Although Pingping was curious, she followed him anyway.

Zhao Cheng led Ping Ping into the warehouse. In the corner was a small cabinet. After moving it, a wooden board was exposed. Zhao Cheng picked up the board and saw a cellar underneath.

Zhao Cheng took Pingping down into the cellar and turned on a flashlight. At the very back of the cellar, he pressed a protruding brick on the wall. A slight click sounded, and a small hole, one meter square, was revealed. Inside were two pistols, a large box of ammunition, and a small box.

"Put your gold in a small box and put it inside, and leave some pocket money outside." Zhao Cheng said to Pingping.

"Okay!" Although Pingping didn't know why, she still followed Zhao Cheng's instructions and put the box containing fifty small yellow croakers in.

Zhao Cheng pressed the brick hard again, and the wall returned to its original state.

The two men left the cellar, covered it with wooden boards, and moved it back to the small cabinet, restoring the warehouse to its original state.

"There are many people in this yard, so don't show off your wealth! Especially this yard, it's a typical example of a small temple with strong evil spirits. You should be careful and don't get too involved with them! We have to be on guard against them!" If Zhao Cheng had not been short of money at the time, he would never have bought this yard. Unfortunately, he only had that little money when buying the house.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid! I've seen all kinds of scenes! Besides, I have a pistol here!" Pingping took out the pistol hidden in her bag and handed it to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng took the pistol and went straight to the bedroom. He took off his shoes, got on the kang, and hid the pistol on the beam.

"Don't take this thing out again unless it's absolutely necessary! Remember to step on a stool when you go up to get it! Be careful!" Zhao Cheng patted Pingping's head.

"I know!" Pingping blushed when Zhao Cheng patted her.

"Okay, you pack up at home. I have to go back to the office first. In the evening, I will take you to Jin Hai and Xu Tian's house. Since you are married to me, you must get to know my relatives and friends. Although I don't have many relatives, I still have a few friends!" Zhao Cheng touched Pingping's head and said.
