Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 36 Settling down
"Okay, once this stamp is stamped, you two will be husband and wife from now on."

In the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The staff handed a marriage certificate with a red seal to He Yuzhu and Chen Miaoyun.

He Yuzhu looked at the award-winning marriage certificate with photos of himself and Chen Miaoyun on it, and for a moment, he had a sudden realization.

Now I have the marriage certificate and I have a wife.

At the same time, Li Cuixia on the side was also looking at He Yuzhu and Chen Miaoyun happily.

"Hey, Zhuzi, everyone is happy now. Your personal problem has been solved, and the difficulties of Miaoyun and her sister have also been solved! But don't bully them because of Miaoyun's family situation."

"Aunt Li, look at what you said. Am I such a person? Don't even mention bullying. Miaoyun will never have a hard life if she follows me in the future."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he looked at Chen Miaoyun and her sister: "Miaoyun, don't worry, from now on, we are a family, and you and Miaozhi will never go hungry again."

The promise of not going hungry would be a piece of shit if it were a marriage in the future, but in this era, these four words struck Chen Miaoyun's heart with a resounding sound.

Being able to have enough food is really a dream for the two sisters. At that moment, the girl felt warm in her heart and her sense of security doubled, but she was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. She could only hum a few words softly, nodded in agreement, and tightened her arm around He Yuzhu. The marriage certificate in her hand seemed to symbolize the arrival of happy days in the future.

Li Cuixia just said a few words. After all, she was in her jurisdiction. How could she not know what kind of character Zhuzi was? She mainly saw that Chen Miaoyun and her sister had suffered a pitiful fate and wanted to show more concern for them.

Seeing that the young couple was getting along well, Li Cuixia also had a blessing smile on her face. She patted their shoulders and said, "Well, don't be happy yet. Take Miaoyun back to the courtyard. Remember to inform Aunt Li when you hold the wedding banquet. Aunt Li must bring a gift!"

"How can I do that, Aunt Li? I just asked you to pay two clothing tickets..." He Yuzhu was about to wave her hand to refuse, but Li Cuixia held her hand and said, "Let's put it this way. After all, Miaoyun and her sister also came from our street office. They have had a hard life. This is also Aunt Li's gift. You can't refuse it!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu did not refuse. Just as Aunt Li said, it would be impolite for him to refuse such a thing.

However, He Yuzhu was not afraid of accepting these favors. He was thriving in the steel rolling mill and had the support of the system. If he had to accept favors, he would do it openly.

After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, He Yuzhu did not take Chen Miaoyun and her sister back home immediately. Instead, he followed Li Cuixia and went to the police station again.

Although the marriage certificate had been obtained, the situation of Chen Miaoyun and her sister was somewhat special. As refugees fleeing famine, they did not have household registration, so they needed to register the two sisters.

Because they married into the He family and had a city hukou like He Yuzhu, the sisters' problem was easily solved. The elder sister and the younger sister were both registered in the He family's hukou as family members.

Because Li Cuixia was with them, all the documents had been prepared long ago. In addition, Li Cuixia was the director of the street office, so their procedures at the police station went quite smoothly. About an hour later, there were two more people on the He family's household registration book.

From then on, Chen Miaoyun and Chen Miaozhi also had urban household registration.

In this era, it is self-evident what an urban hukou represents. The monthly food allowance alone is enough to make a large number of people envious!

As children from rural areas, Chen Miaoyun and Chen Miaozhi understand the value of this! When the household registration books were in their hands, they even felt like they were dreaming. They were originally refugees, and they were still worried about their livelihood every day. Who would have thought that they would be able to successfully register their household registration in the city of Beijing, and in the future they would be able to eat commercial grain that they had never dared to dream of before? !
After leaving the police station, the matter was not yet completed. The household registration was completed, but if I wanted the grain and oil book, I had to go to the grain station. After all, the current systems were not as developed as the Internet in later generations, and many work tasks required manual verification.

However, the Chen Miaoyun sisters do not mind the trouble. Being able to eat commercial grain from the city was something they could not even dream of in the past, so why would they complain about whether it is cumbersome or not?

As for He Yuzhu, he didn't mind it at all. He was doing things for his wife and family, so why should he be afraid of trouble?
……

In the evening, around four or five o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and He Yuzhu and others, who had been busy all afternoon, were sitting on the street.

"Aunt Li, thank you for running around for me this afternoon."

At this time, He Yuzhu and his wife had obtained all the certificates. From now on, they were a registered legal couple, and the sisters Chen Miaoyun and Chen Miaozhi also officially became city dwellers and would be able to eat the monthly ration.

"It's not a big deal. It's better to get everything done at once than to run around everywhere later. Besides, I, Aunt Li, helped you two get together. Aunt Li will be happy to see you!"

"How about this, let's have dinner together tonight. I'll treat you, Aunt Li. You can pick any place you want."

He Yuzhu then spoke.

Li Cuixia waved her hands repeatedly, "What else are we going to eat? We already had lunch at a restaurant. How can we be so extravagant every time? Can we still live like this? Aunt Li's family is waiting for me to go back and cook. I know what you mean, Zhuzi, but let's not have lunch at this restaurant. You just got married with Miaoyun, and you'll have a lot of things to do when you go back."

Chen Miaoyun was standing by, and when she heard He Yuzhu say that they were going to eat out in the evening, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. After marrying into the He family, she had already subtly entered the role of a young wife, and all the money spent on eating out was her own. However, although she felt a little distressed when her husband asked for money outside, she would not show it.

Seeing Aunt Li's words, and since they had just obtained the marriage certificate today and he still had a lot of things to deal with, He Yuzhu gave up and said, "Then Aunt Li, I won't delay. I just thought about it on the way. The marriage certificate has been obtained, and the banquet will be held tomorrow. I will cook for you myself then. You have to come and do me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Li Cuixia was a little surprised at the speed of the pillar, but she still nodded: "Okay, Aunt Li got it. Aunt Li will definitely come tomorrow and bless you two newlyweds then!"

After some pleasantries, He Yuzhu and the others watched Li Cuixia leave. They were the only ones left, so they pushed their bicycles back.
