Chapter 49: Western Style
In the afternoon, Yang Zhenyu and Zhou Qianqian got their marriage certificate and returned to the courtyard together.
"Auntie One, don't be anxious. What kind of accidents could happen when getting the certificate?" Auntie Three comforted the anxious Auntie One.
"Oh, I'm so anxious. This is Zhenyu's big wedding event. I don't know if it has been completed yet." An aunt said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Zhenyu is such a good kid, what kind of accidents could happen to him? Just wait patiently, maybe they are on their way back now." said the third aunt.
"Look, aren't they back?" The third aunt had sharp eyes and immediately saw the two people pushing the cart.
"Aunt, Third Aunt!" Yang Zhenyu called them very politely.
"Hurry, come in." An old lady rushed over.
"Xixi, come on, let's go back to the house first. It's still very cold outside." An old lady said, holding Zhou Xixi's hand.
"Aunt!" Zhou Qianqian called out softly, secretly feeling lucky that it was Aunt. She would not be used to calling her mom all of a sudden.
"Well, let's go inside first." The aunt agreed so readily, and she was so happy.
"This is what your uncle and I thought. When you get married, you must get a sewing machine. It will be more convenient with a sewing machine. You also need to buy a bicycle so that it will be convenient for you to go to work..." The aunt said naggingly.
"You are such a bad guy." Zhou Qianqian immediately understood that this was a way to take advantage of her.
"Hehe, I heard that lesbians all have sweet mouths. I want to try it and see if it's true." Yang Zhenyu said.
After dozens of seconds, only two people with red faces and heavy breathing were left in the room. The scene was very awkward for a while.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Qianqian rolled her eyes at Yang Zhenyu.
"My aunt is a little nagging, but she is also afraid of putting you in a bad situation," said Yang Zhenyu.
"That's great. Besides, the things she mentioned cost a lot of money. There's no need to spend so much." Zhou Qianqian said.
"If you don't believe me, let me try it and you'll know." Yang Zhenyu said seriously.
"Who told you that?" Zhou Qianqian looked at Yang Zhenyu in surprise: "I'm a doctor, how could I not know?"
"That won't do. We have to buy what we need. We earn money, so we have to spend it. Besides, my salary is not low, enough for me to spend." Yang Zhenyu said as he sat next to Zhou Qianqian.
"Okay, you guys sit down for a while, I'll go cook." said the aunt.
"Take a look and see if there is anything missing in this room. Just tell me and we will buy some." The aunt said generously.
"It's fine, everything is fine." Zhou Qianqian said.
"It's sweet indeed." Yang Zhenyu licked his lips and said.
"You are such a disgusting person." Zhou Qianqian said with a red face.
"Hey, look at our house. Is it different from the last time you came?" Yang Zhenyu wanted to continue being affectionate, but this time he was worried that an old lady would come over, so he had to give up.
"Yes, the bed is new, and the bedding is new too." Zhou Qianqian nodded.
"Yes, I made the bed, and there is also a large desk in that room. I will paint the room later and buy some other things, and then our house will look like a home." Yang Zhenyu said.
"You hit it yourself?" Zhou Qianqian said in disbelief.
"Of course, this thing is not difficult." Yang Zhenyu said as a matter of course.
However, in Zhou Qianqian's eyes, Yang Zhenyu had an extra layer of mystery, and it seemed that there was nothing he didn't know.
"Come on, let's go take a look at the wing room and see if you want to renovate it in the future." Yang Zhenyu said, holding Zhou Qianqian's hand.
"Yeah!" Zhou Qianqian nodded. She felt that she should take a look. After all, this would be her home in the future, so it would be better to get to know more about it.
"Look, this piece is also ours. We can plant flowers and other things in the future. There is also a partition in the ear room. I put a lot of sundries in the room inside, and bicycles and other things outside. When we get old, we can live here, and there is a place for our children to start a family and a career." Yang Zhenyu introduced his house.
"We haven't gotten married yet." Zhou Qianqian shyly hit Yang Zhenyu and said.
It has not been long since the new era began, and people still regard wedding banquets as the basis for getting married, and getting a certificate is just for legality. In fact, many rural areas still do not get a certificate, but only hold wedding banquets as proof.
"Hey, now that we have the certificate, isn't it just a matter of time before the wedding? You can't run away now." Yang Zhenyu pinched Zhou Qianqian's face and said.
"You are such a dishonest person. It would be embarrassing to be seen in this big compound." Zhou Qianqian said with a blank look at Yang Zhenyu.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. She's my own wife. Anyone who sees her will send their blessings." Yang Zhenyu's statement is a fallacy.
Zhou Qianqian ignored him and went into the ear room to look around. Although it was an ear room, it was definitely suitable for living. One room could be used as a bedroom, and the other could be used as a living room for cooking.
Zhou Qianqian was very satisfied with the environment here at Yang Zhenyu's place. Although it was a slum, his house was nice and the couple would definitely feel comfortable living there.
"Is this distributed by the street?" Zhou Qianqian asked curiously.
"Except for a few properties in this area that have property certificates, the rest belong to the street and the factory. My house was commissioned by the factory to the street. I should have lived in a building, but when I came here, houses were in short supply. It happened that there were houses here, and to compensate me, they specially gave me an ear room." Yang Zhenyu explained.
"Your treatment is really good. It would be great if you could live in an apartment." Zhou Qianqian said enviously.
"I actually like this kind of courtyard house. It's more comfortable to live in a bungalow." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.
Regarding the housing issue, Yang Zhenyu, as a later comer, knows the value of the courtyard house better. It will be worth a lot of money in the future, which is not enough. He will definitely buy the entire courtyard in the future.
As for the building, Yang Zhenyu lived there for so many years in his previous life, and there was no such atmosphere as a courtyard. Although most of the matters were trivial, it was lively. Sometimes neighbors could really help, like He Yuzhu, who would definitely lend a hand as long as needed, but what about the building?
What's more, isn't this kind of courtyard house with a yard more spacious and more comfortable to live in?
However, people of this era cannot understand this. They all prefer to live in buildings because they look more fashionable.
