Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Chapter 185 Obtaining a Marriage Certificate

After Zhou Jin got the letter of introduction, he rushed to the Lou family without stopping and arrived at the Lou mansion in a short while.

He first greeted Lou Bancheng and Lou Tanshi, and then chatted with them for a few words.

When Zhou Jin saw Lou Xiao'e wearing a cheongsam, his eyes lit up as if stars were twinkling, and his face was filled with unconcealable joy.

My heart beat faster and my cheeks flushed slightly, like a shy peach blossom.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose up, and her smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

My eyes follow it closely, as if attracted by a magnet, and I can't look away.

His speech became stammering and his thoughts became erratic, as if he had been shot by an arrow of Cupid.

His movements became clumsy, as if he was overwhelmed by the burden of sweetness.

The expressions on his face were rich and varied, sometimes grinning, sometimes shy, as if he was performing an inner drama.

There was a deep fascination in his eyes, as if he was captured by the other person's charm.

This scene made Lou Bancheng and his wife dumbfounded. Lou Xiaoe couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Zhou Jin finally came to his senses, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he buried his head very low, as if he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. This was really embarrassing.

But now is not the time to blush. Zhou Jin hurriedly walked to Lou Xiao'e, said a few words to Lou Bancheng and the others, and then couldn't wait to pull Lou Xiao'e away from Lou's house, which made Lou Bancheng and his wife very happy.

Of course Zhou Jin didn't have time to pay attention to all this now. He was riding a bicycle, and Lou Xiao'e was sitting on the back seat in a cheongsam. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e looked so perfect from any angle.

As mentioned before, Zhou Jin is a petty person. He doesn't want others to see his perfect wife, so he pedals very fast. If it were at night, you would probably see sparks.

Zhou Jin was not going to take Lou Xiao'e directly to the street office to get the certificate. He and Lou Xiao'e had not taken the photos for registration yet, and the Zhongshan suit Zhou Jin wore yesterday was at his grandfather's house.

It is to facilitate today's actions. We will go to my grandfather's house first, change clothes, and then go to the photo studio to take wedding photos. After that, we can go to the street office to get a marriage certificate.

The two soon arrived at Grandpa Jin's house. Zhou Jin couldn't wait to put on the brand new Zhongshan suit, said goodbye to his grandparents and went out.

Their target this time was a photo studio. Zhou Jin had already made an appointment and wanted not only wedding photos but also wedding dress photos. However, they would have to wait until they got the marriage certificate before coming back to take the photos.

Although there is no wedding dress now, with Lou Xiao'e's beautiful face and the cheongsam that perfectly sets off her figure and temperament, she can still take wedding photos that will be passed down through the ages.

Because an appointment was made in advance, and Zhou Jin had also met the photographer in advance and gave him a red envelope.

So, Zhou Jin and the others came over today and quickly took the wedding photos.

Although the photo is in black and white, Zhou Jin's handsomeness and Lou Xiao'e's beautiful face cannot be concealed.

Everything was ready, Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e, with happy smiles on their faces, set off for the street office.

Lou Xiao'e sat obediently on the back seat of the bicycle, hugged Zhou Jin tightly with both hands, and leaned her head gently on his broad back. The joy in her heart was beyond words.

Zhou Jin was riding a bicycle, feeling the warmth and love of Lou Xiao'e, as if the whole world had become extraordinarily beautiful.

He couldn't help but speed up and pedal hard, wanting to reach the street office quickly.

Not long after, the two finally arrived at the street office.

Zhou Jin parked the bicycle carefully, then held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and strode into the street office.

When passing by the gate, Zhou Jin stopped and handed a cigarette to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper took the cigarette cheerfully, feeling very happy. He was used to it, so he didn't say anything polite.

"What's wrong, Xiao Zhou? Are you here to see Director Wang again?"

"Uncle, I'm not here to see Director Wang today. I'm here to get a marriage certificate."

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he raised the hand that was holding Lou Xiao'e.

The gatekeeper also congratulated with joy on his face.

"Hahaha, then I'd like to congratulate you first. I wish you a happy wedding and a long life together."

"Thank you, uncle. Please go ahead and do your work. I'll go in first and bring you wedding candy later."

"Okay, okay, go quickly. Your business is important. It's the second room on the left after entering the main door."

"Okay, thank you sir."

Afterwards, Zhou Jin held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and walked towards the marriage registration office.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly asked, "Brother Jin, you seem to be very familiar with the Street Office! You and that old man seem to get along like old friends."

Zhou Jin stopped, paused for a moment and then continued walking forward.

He replied: "Yes, I have been to the street office quite often in the past year. After a long time, I naturally became familiar with him. And every time I went there, I would bring some cigarettes to the old man. After a few visits, we naturally got along well."

Lou Xiao'e did not ask too many questions. She knew in her heart that Zhou Jin had returned to Sijiu City alone, and there must be many things that needed to be dealt with at the Street Office.

Besides, Zhou Jin had once mentioned the situation of Siheyuan to her. Presumably, he had visited the place frequently just because of the affairs of Siheyuan.

Zhou Jin had no idea what Lou Xiao'e was thinking, and the two of them soon arrived at the marriage registration office.

Since today is Monday, most people are busy at work, so only Zhou Jin and his newlywed couple came to handle the formalities.

Zhou Jin hurriedly pulled Lou Xiao'e to the counter. Without the staff's reminder, he took out his and Lou Xiao'e's household registration books, letters of introduction, and wedding photos.

Then the staff went through some routine inquiry procedures, and finally, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e, the staff stamped the government seal on the marriage certificate, which looked like a certificate of honor.

Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e received their marriage certificates from the staff. Each of them received one. The marriage certificates of this era were like the three good students awards in childhood. They were very large, with many special patterns such as peace doves, rice ears, cotton, and lotus flowers printed on the inner pages. The overall pattern was bright and beautiful, and it was full of joy.

The two looked at the marriage certificate in their hands carefully for a long time, and only reacted after being reminded by the staff.

Zhou Jin said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, it's my first marriage, I'm a little excited, don't mind."

He scratched his head and gave a shy smile.

Zhou Jin then took out a handful of candies from Lou Xiao'e's bag and distributed them to the staff present one by one.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This is wedding candy. Let's have some good luck."

Everyone thanked him and said some congratulations.

Although most people would give some wedding candies to the staff after getting their marriage certificates, Zhou Jin's wedding candies were not cheap at first glance, as they were all White Rabbit milk candies and various fruit candies.

This made several young single staff members envy Lou Xiao'e for a while. After all, Zhou Jin was tall and handsome, had a good temperament, and was polite. With the wedding candy, he must be very strong.

After Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e distributed the wedding candies, they left the marriage registration office and went to the second floor.

When you get married yourself, you must give wedding candies to your elder and matchmaker, Director Wang.

Along the way, they held hands, with happy smiles on their faces.

Arriving at the door of the office on the second floor, Zhou Jin knocked gently.

A gentle voice came from inside the door: "Come in!"

Zhou Jin gently pushed open the door and saw Director Wang sitting at his desk, concentrating on his work.

He smiled and walked forward lightly, holding a bag of festive candies in his hand. He carefully placed them on the desk and said softly, "Auntie Wang, Xiao'e and I came here specially to give you wedding candies! Thank you very much for your care and support for us all the time."

Director Wang raised her head upon hearing the voice, her eyes fell on Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e, her eyes full of relief. She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile, and responded happily: "Haha, Xiao Jin, congratulations on finally achieving an important goal in your life.

In the days to come, we must support each other and live a happy and fulfilling life.

Also, you must seize the time and welcome the arrival of new life as soon as possible. It would be best if you could have more children so that your Zhou family can prosper and pass on from generation to generation."

After hearing this, Zhou Jin replied without hesitation: "Okay, Aunt Wang, I will definitely work hard to complete this task and give birth to more cute babies."

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing aside, couldn't help but blush slightly and looked a little shy when the topic of having children was mentioned.

At this moment, Director Wang slowly opened the drawer, took out a thick envelope, and gently placed it in Lou Xiao'e's hand.

She said gently, "Xiao'e, Xiaojin is a really good kid. You two are a perfect match made in heaven.

In the future, you must love and take care of each other and live a happy and fulfilling life together.

As an elder, I don’t have too many precious gifts to give you, but here is a bicycle ticket and some cloth coupons, I hope they can be of some help to you.

You must understand each other, support each other, and walk hand in hand through every step of life."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she instinctively wanted to refuse this generous gift.

However, when she saw Zhou Jin's determined look, she understood what he meant and obediently took the envelope.

She said gratefully: "Auntie Wang, thank you for your concern and blessings. I really like Brother Jin. We will definitely cherish each other and work together to create a better future."

Director Wang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, that's good. You young people must have a lot of things to deal with, so don't waste your time here."

Zhou Jin quickly replied, "Okay, Aunt Wang." After that, Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e said goodbye to Director Wang and turned to leave the street office.

At this time, Director Wang still had a lot of work waiting to be dealt with, while Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e needed to rush to the photo studio to take wedding photos.

They walked out of the office hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.
