Chapter 612 Getting the Certificate 2
A middle-aged man in his forties was obviously familiar with Su Yu. He took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, congratulations. We learned about your engagement last night when your mother distributed wedding candy to everyone. When are you getting married?"
Su Yu smiled with a blush on her face and replied, "Uncle Liu, we have already obtained the marriage certificate today, and the wedding date is set for February 8th."
The neighbors all smiled and said words of blessing and congratulations. In this era, usually a matchmaker would introduce the man and woman to each other, and if they were satisfied with each other, they would get engaged and married after getting to know each other for a while. It was basically unlike the later generations where a relationship would take several years.
Although Su Yu just got engaged yesterday and got the marriage certificate today, it seemed a bit hasty, but everyone was relieved when they thought about what happened this morning. Obviously, this was to avoid people talking behind their backs. Moreover, some people had heard Jiang Sufen mention last night that the wedding date had been set, which was the eighth day of the second lunar month after the Spring Festival. In this way, it was not too abrupt to register for the marriage certificate today.
At this time, three young men in black uniforms got off the two jeeps behind, each holding a few bulging bags in their hands, and followed Lin Yu to the gate of the courtyard.
These neighbors involuntarily made way for the gate and couldn't help but look curiously at the tall, brisk young leader in front of them. However, due to the nervousness from the bottom of their hearts, no one spoke a word. After all, the official-centered ideology has been deeply rooted in China for thousands of years. Faced with such a deputy ministerial-level leading cadre, who among these people could remain calm?
At this time, Jiang Sufen had already heard the news from the neighbor's children. She came out with a smile and hurriedly walked over. Without waiting for Lin Yu to speak, she said with a smile: "Lin Yu is here, come home soon."
Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom."
After Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang took their people to put the bags in their hands into the house, they walked out directly.
Jiang Sufen enthusiastically served tea and water to her son-in-law. She was very happy. She had received a call from her daughter this afternoon and learned that the couple had registered for a marriage certificate. It is said that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is. At this moment, she was really satisfied with the son-in-law in front of her. Look at her son-in-law. He is such a high-ranking leader at such a young age, but he is always so calm and decent in dealing with people. He is not like those directors in her own unit who act like leaders all day long. People who don't know him would think he is a big leader.
Lin Yu did not stay here for long. After making an appointment to come over on the second day of the first lunar month to pay New Year's greetings, he said goodbye and left.
After Jiang Sufen and her daughter saw Lin Yu off, they walked towards home while dealing with the neighbors who came over to say hello.
As soon as she closed the door, Jiang Sufen said hurriedly, "Xiaoyu, show me your marriage certificate."
Su Yu took out the marriage certificate from her backpack, handed it to her mother with a smile, and couldn't help but whispered, "Mom, don't get it dirty."
Jiang Sufen took the marriage certificate and rolled her eyes at her daughter: "Look at your precious thing, can I see if I can make it dirty for you?"
As she spoke, Jiang Sufen carefully opened the marriage certificate and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "Wow, it was issued by Minister Xie of the Ministry of Internal Affairs himself. That's right, a son-in-law of this level can only be handled directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Su Yu reached out and took the marriage certificate from her mother's hand, then carefully put it into her purse. Without waiting for her mother to speak, she quickly changed the subject: "Mom, Lin Yu gave our family the Spring Festival benefits that his company gave him, but there are too many things. Do you think we should give some to those uncles?"
Jiang Sufen glared at her daughter in disapproval: "How could you want it? If your mother-in-law knew about this, would she think that you, as a daughter-in-law, are too partial to your mother's family?"
Su Yu blushed and gave her mother a look: "There are some things you don't know. The things we have are all brought back from abroad by Lin Yu through special channels. He said that there are all kinds of things at home over there, so he asked me to give these things to you and let you take care of them."
Jiang Sufen had just said it casually, but now she had begun to open the bags piled next to her one by one, exclaiming from time to time.
Lin Yu returned home. Today, only his mother and Huang Ying and her son were at home. After Sun Yong picked up his mother-in-law, he and Lin Nan drove to the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department to celebrate the New Year. They would not be back until the second day of the first lunar month.
Lin Yu played with little Lin Zhou for a while. When he heard his mother Zhou Xiu's call, he carried little Lin Zhou into the restaurant.
Several people sat around the dining table, eating and chatting casually. When Lin Yu told them that he had registered for his marriage with Su Yu this afternoon and got his marriage certificate, Zhou Xiu was so happy that she almost couldn't stop grinning. She had been urging them for such a long time, and finally the day had come for her son to register for marriage. Now she was just looking forward to holding her eldest grandson and granddaughter in her arms as soon as possible.
After dinner, Lin Yu accompanied his mother to drink tea in the living room. Zhou Xiu had already learned what happened this morning from Sun Yong and Huang Ying.
Zhou Xiu frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Yu, what's the matter with Chu Hongjun? Since he comes from a family of leading cadres, how could he not have any basic common sense? Even if he doesn't know that you are now a special adviser to the State Council at the vice-ministerial level, but as a deputy secretary and deputy director of a municipal bureau, secretary of the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and a dignified bureau-level leading cadre, how dare he order gangsters to intercept with guns? Isn't this definitely a mental problem?"
Lin Yu lit a cigar, took a puff and then spoke: "Although Chu Hongjun is usually unscrupulous in the workplace, he is not so foolish as to be ignorant of the world. According to the information currently available, it was the guy who lived in the same courtyard as Su Yu's family who deliberately misled Chu Hongjun. This guy named Zheng Xiangqian is an ordinary postman in the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. He once wanted to pursue Su Yu and asked someone to come to his house to act as a matchmaker, but was directly rejected by Su Yu and her mother. After this guy learned that Su Yu was engaged, he immediately I found Chu Hongjun, the deputy chief of the security department of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, overnight and deliberately told him the news. However, he deliberately concealed my identity and only told Chu Hongjun that I drove Su Yu home and was probably a driver. Chu Hongjun also asked his father, Deputy Director Chu of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, to propose to Su Yu's mother, but this guy had a very bad reputation in the unit and was rejected on the spot. Later, Chu Hongjun deliberately pestered Su Yu on the way to and from get off work, but was rejected by Su Yu sternly. "
