Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 33 Marriage Certificate
"Aunt Li is just looking at Nanluoguxiang. Your family is relatively well-off and can support two mouths. If you like it, you can consider it."

After Li Cuixia finished speaking, she asked He Yuzhu to think about it here, and she went to Chen Miaoyun. The two of them started talking there again. From time to time, Li Cuixia pointed in the direction of He Yuzhu, obviously introducing He Yuzhu's situation in detail to Chen Miaoyun.

At this time, He Yuzhu's eyes swept over Chen Miaoyun and her sister, and finally fell on Chen Miaoyun.

I have to say that He Yuzhu is quite satisfied with her appearance. He had met many girls on blind dates before, but none of them gave him this feeling.

I want to marry this girl home.

After this thought arose in He Yuzhu's mind, he could no longer suppress it. He took a deep breath and came to Aunt Li and Chen Miaoyun.

Seeing Zhuzi coming over, Aunt Li squeezed Chen Miaoyun's hand and brought the girl over to look over.

No matter how good the previous words were, Li Cuixia knew in her heart that few people would be willing to marry a refugee like Chen Miaoyun, let alone one with a sister who was a burden.

But she had no choice but to do this. Among the young men of marriageable age that she knew, only Zhuzi had the ability to marry Chen Miaoyun.

"Comrade Chen Miaoyun, I just learned about your situation. What I want to ask is, are you willing to marry me?"

Even if you like it, you still have to ask the other person's wishes.

Upon hearing this, Li Cuixia's eyes lit up. Since Zhuzi asked this, it was obvious that he agreed to those conditions.

Chen Miaoyun was also slightly startled, but she quickly reacted: "Then can you take my sister with you? If I leave, she won't survive in the city."

"Of course it's no problem. With our family's conditions, it's just one more mouth to feed. It's a small problem." The problem of eating is quite serious for ordinary people, but for He Yuzhu, it is insignificant.

Hearing this, Li Cuixia also added fuel to the fire: "Miao Yun, Zhuzi has said so much, you also want to express your opinion? Are you willing?"

Chen Miaoyun looked relieved at this moment. After all, with a younger sister, she had no confidence that others would agree to such harsh conditions in order to marry her. Food nowadays meant human lives!
So, she was very sensible and said to Li Cuixia: "It's all up to Aunt Li to make the decision."

Hearing this, Li Cuixia immediately smiled with relief: "In this case, I will take care of this matter. Since both of you agree to this marriage, I think we don't need to pick a date. Let's go and get the marriage certificate today."

"Ah? Today? Isn't this too hasty? We have to prepare for the wedding banquet and so on?" He Yuzhu was a little surprised by the speed.

"What are you afraid of, you man? Why not get married earlier? Once you get the marriage certificate, you can take Miaoyun and her sister back home so they don't have to squeeze in with everyone else at the street office."

It is not easy to resettle so many refugees in a short period of time. They may not even have a place to live by then. If Zhuzi takes the girl away, it can also help reduce the burden on the street office.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's mouth twitched slightly. Well, the characteristics of this era are too distinct. Once it is decided, there will be no delay at all. Having said that, He Yuzhu naturally has no problem: "I have no objection."

Li Cuixia looked at Chen Miaoyun and her sister again. Chen Miaoyun's cheeks flushed slightly as she listened to the marriage certificate being discussed and then being taken away. However, she still nodded gently and said in a soft voice, "Aunt Li, you can arrange it."

The ten-year-old girl standing nearby also understood that now that her sister was married, they would no longer have to go hungry.

……

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He Yuzhu was pushing a bicycle, and the sisters Li Cuixia and Chen Miaoyun were following him.

They did not go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, but came to the steel mill first.

Getting married in this era was not like in later times, where you could get a marriage certificate just by showing your household registration book. To get married, you needed a marriage certificate from the unit of both the man and the woman or the street office. Only with the marriage certificate could you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.

Of course, although it is called a marriage certificate, it is actually a certificate, which is quite different from the certificates of later generations.

Since Chen Miaoyun came to Sijiucheng to escape famine, all she needed was for the Nanluoguxiang Street Office to help her issue a certificate.

As for He Yuzhu, he needs to go to the steel rolling mill and find the factory leader to issue the invoice.

He Yuzhu took Li Cuixia and the others to the office building of the steel mill leader. As the director of the street office, Li Cuixia was naturally familiar with this kind of official process.

She found the personnel manager of the steel mill and the chairman of the organization office and explained their purpose.

Upon learning that Master He Yuzhu from their factory was getting married, these leaders were quite surprised.

After all, He Yuzhu is now quite famous in the steel rolling mill, and many leaders know this skilled master He.

"I didn't expect that Master He is getting married. This is really cause for celebration."

"Yes, I wanted to introduce a date to our Master He before, but I didn't expect to meet the right one. Now I wish Master He and his family happiness."

These leaders exchanged polite greetings with He Yuzhu.

Logically speaking, given the status of these leaders, there is no need for them to be so polite to a cook in the kitchen.

But Master He was so famous that he was loved by the factory leaders for his banquets and special meals. Even the leaders wanted to have a good relationship with such technical talents, as they might be able to use him in the future.

He Yuzhu was well aware of this, knowing that the other person respected his craftsmanship, so he also responded politely.

However, this scene was seen by Chen Miaoyun who had followed, and she looked at it with surprise.

Of course she could see that the people in front of her were the leaders of the factory. To her, they were definitely big shots. But even such big shots were so nice to her future man, which showed that her future man was definitely capable, and she and her sister would not have to starve in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Miaoyun felt more at ease and at the same time, she gained some confidence about the future.

After I get married, I will also take care of the family and fulfill the obligations of a daughter-in-law.

Although Chen Miaoyun has never been married, she knows in her heart that she cannot eat and drink for free, nor can she be heartless.
