Flash Marriage

Chapter 2

Today is Wednesday. As I mentioned earlier, I had recently quit my job and had lots of free time at hand. I came for the blind date to kill some time because I did not need to go to work today. Why Jiang Li did not go to work? Perhaps he was also unemployed like me.

A BMW car was parked stylishly on the dusty road in my residential society. I let Jiang Li wait in the car and violently ran up to my room to grab my household/family registration book. Today my mother had to visit my aunt in the hospital, so I used the opportunity. I was not afraid of my mother opposing this marriage, the old woman was really anxious to get me married. If she knew there was someone actually interested in me, she would happily send me off in a pretty packing. The main problem is that old people, these days, read too many novels and see too much television and thus have developed a unique characteristic that is they are too long winded especially old women. My mother if she knew I have a suitor (ugh, Jiang Li could be regarded as my “Suitor”), together with my paternal aunt, maternal aunt and all other relatives would assess the poor guy from all the angles without giving him any break and grill him so much that he would either go crazy or would think my family is crazy. So in both the situations the outcome would not be good.

So, I strutted in to the bedroom that my mother and I share (I could not sleep alone).open the drawers of the closet, eventually pulled out a folder that contained a pile of all kind of papers.  There was an excellence award sheet from my elementary school, certificate from a debate contest in university together with my graduation diploma and other relevant certificates. My mother was like that, obsessed with certificates; in her eyes for building a family one must have certificates, Funny. In this huge pile the only certificate missing was my parent’s divorce certificate. I could not help but feel sad about it for a moment and regret silently. It was not until the mobile beeped with Xiao Jiang Li’s message that reminded me he was waiting impatiently for me in his car; I hurriedly packed up relevant family registration papers and rushed downstairs.

Jiang Li hit the steering wheel and sarcastically said: “Your family registration book was hidden quite deep enough.”

"You flatter me too much," I tucked the book into the pocket of my bag, wiped sweat and said, "Okay, with this done, now all we need is your book……..where do you live?"

Jiang Li started the car and looking straight ahead said: "No need, I brought along mine."

Me: "... .."

God, this man brought his family registration book with him on blind date? 
He really was a weird man…very strange.

......
Today there were not many people at the marriage registrar office. So our marriage registration process went smoothly.

So they got Married....Hurray!! Throw Confetti

At the time of payment, Jiang li took out his wallet but I quickly pulled out some ten dollars bills, smiled deeply “this time, this time let me pay.” He had invited me for the lunch; I could not keep taking advantage of his chivalry shamelessly, ok?

The Commissioner, who was registering our marriage, looked at Jiang Li, probably out of consideration for Jiang li’s dignity; he did not take my ten dollars bills. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li waved off his hand, said: “Forget it; after all we are going to be a family shortly.”
