They carried large and small bags into the house.

Jiang Zheyuan then said, "Auntie, could you please give me the household registration booklet? My uncle helped me find someone to calculate an auspicious date, saying that getting the marriage certificate on that day would be beneficial for both families."

Jiang Zheyuan unintentionally emphasized the two families.

Zhang Suran glanced at Shao Wanwan, just about to speak.

Shao Moli said, "Mom, I found the household registration book in the closet in my room. You must have put it in there sometime and then forgot about it."

After saying that, she tiptoed to get the household registration booklet and handed it to Zhang Suran.

Zhang Suran looked embarrassed.

She glanced at Shao Wanwan again and said with an awkward laugh, "Look at my memory, how could I have put it in Jasmine's room? It must be because you went to university and that room was empty, so I put it there and then forgot about it. That's great, no need to reissue it now. You can take your household registration book and go get your marriage certificate!"

Jiang Zheyuan breathed a sigh of relief that the matter could be resolved smoothly.

Shao Wanwan silently gave him a thumbs up.

He suggested taking them shopping first, since people are most vulnerable when they are in a good mood.

Although Zhang Suran was very reluctant, she still handed the household registration book to Shao Wanwan.

As she turned around, taking advantage of Shao Wanwan and Jiang Zheyuan's inattention, she glared fiercely at Shao Moli and muttered under her breath, "Useless thing, I might as well have thrown you into the latrine when you were born."

Shao Moli felt a chill run through her body and dared not even breathe, yet she felt inexplicably at ease.

Although she genuinely liked Jiang Zheyuan, she felt that if she tried to seduce him and he stopped being with Shao Wanwan, then she would despise such a man from the bottom of her heart.

Now, at least I can watch from afar and silently wish them well.

Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan received their household registration certificates.

Shao Wanwan gave the household registration book to Jiang Zheyuan.

Jiang Zheyuan stroked the household registration booklet, so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

However, the date of the Lunar New Year was very close to the day the original owner and Jiang Zheyuan got their marriage certificate, as written in the book.

If they wanted to avoid it, it would be the weekend soon, and if they kept putting it off until the New Year, they would both want to keep it from each other as if they didn't know what kind of day it was.

Then my uncle did indeed have someone calculate it, and it turned out that the day they got their marriage certificate in their previous life was an auspicious day.

With gritted teeth and a determined step, the two of them pretended nothing was wrong and chose this day to get their marriage certificate.

Shao Wanwan remembers seeing her colleagues go to get their marriage certificates. They would bring their household registration book and ID card, and they could take photos on the spot or take commemorative photos after receiving the certificates.

But it's only 1999 now, so the procedures for getting a marriage certificate are definitely different.

The next day, Jiang Zheyuan took Shao Wanwan to take a photo together, then got a certificate of single status before going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

Looking at the stamp on the group photo, I felt nothing but joy.

In fact, both Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan had their own worries.

By sheer coincidence, it happened on that same date again.

Jiang Zheyuan had seen the same marriage certificate twice before, and he had also seen the green divorce certificate.

Shao Wanwan worried that if the bonds in the book were so deep, would it end up like the one in the book?

Jiang Zheyuan recalled that in his previous life, he and Shao Wanwan got their marriage certificate, which marked the beginning of their first period of separation.

They were legally married, but they had no contact or celebrations, as if it were just something that had to be done and was finally done.

His parents suggested celebrating, but Shao Wanwan scoffed, saying that if it weren't for the debts of the previous generation, she would never have been interested in a nobody like Jiang Zheyuan.

Jiang Zheyuan recalled his past life and subconsciously glanced at his own figure.

Because of his conscious exercise, his body is indeed much stronger than in his previous life. Although saying he has eight-pack abs is a bit of an exaggeration, his abdominal lines are very firm. If he does a few push-ups to make his muscles engorged with blood, he can vaguely see four-pack abs.

Even so, he still thought of Shao Wanwan's disdain for him in his previous life, and then he became a little insecure.

After receiving the certificate, Jiang Zheyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Wanwan, Mom and Dad said that if we get the certificate, the whole family should celebrate together, get to know each other, and have a get-together at the old house. If you don't want to, that's fine too. We can just celebrate behind closed doors."

Shao Wanwan stared at the marriage certificate for a long time. The feeling was too subtle. She had never been in a relationship, and now she was getting a marriage certificate with someone else.

She thought she would be single forever!

After all, there really aren't many people worthy of her marriage.

Back then, everyone was incredibly hardworking. Men and women were treated like animals. Once they entered the company, they worked day and night for that little bit of pay. After work, they would lie in bed and either watch TV series or read novels. They simply didn't have the energy to work on getting along with another person.

At first, her parents urged her to go on blind dates, but after seeing that she was just going through the motions and seeing things like cases of wives being murdered online, they stopped pressuring her.

In short, she never thought about getting married or anything like that.

But holding the red marriage certificate, I felt both a sense of weight and a bit of confusion.

So when Jiang Zheyuan spoke to her, she heard him, but didn't react immediately.

Jiang Zheyuan thought she was unhappy, so he said, "It's okay, we can celebrate by ourselves."

“Who said we should celebrate on our own? Getting a marriage certificate means we should have a big celebration. Have Mom and Dad decided when? I don’t have any clothes to wear to the banquet. If we’re not in a rush, come with me to buy one. I can’t embarrass myself.” Shao Wanwan pinched Jiang Zheyuan’s mouth and shook it with her finger before saying this.

Seeing how happy she was, Jiang Zheyuan finally felt relieved.

He said, "It's just a family gathering, no need to dress up. But there's one occasion where you'll need to dress up if you want to go."

Shao Wanwan glanced at him, "What occasion?"

He knew that Jiang Zheyuan's family was considered wealthy, but he was always low-key and a student, so he still had some expectations. After all, he had only read about wealthy families in books and had never actually been in contact with them.

Now that she and Jiang Zheyuan have gotten their marriage certificate, they should get to know each other better to avoid making a fool of themselves.

“Every year before the Lunar New Year, my uncle and his business partners would hold an annual meeting, which included an auction, a lucky draw, and a dance performance. I never went before, but this year I invested in the Lido Hotel and the Lido Restaurant, so my uncle and his partners insisted that I go, saying that I was also a business partner.”

Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan had discussed investing in the restaurant business. They both felt that high-end restaurants had potential. Jiang Zheyuan had a sum of cash on hand, about 800,000 yuan.

Shao Wanwan was extremely envious, but she didn't have any cash on hand, so she spent it all on the supermarket near the school gate.
