The Path of Evolution

"We voluntarily became husband and wife. From today on, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage has given us: to be filial to our parents, to educate our children, to respect and love each other, to trust and encourage each other, to understand and give in to each other, to help each other, and to love each other for life!"

"From now on, no matter good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, we will be in the same boat through thick and thin, share weal and woe, share joys and sorrows, and become lifelong partners!"

"We must stick to today's oath, and we will definitely be able to stick to today's oath!"

Is the above a Western church wedding?

No, this is the "Marriage Oath" that needs to be read out when the Civil Affairs Bureau of China obtains the certificate.

Don't ask Zhao Hao how he knew it. He was at the Civil Affairs Bureau and was very confused when he read out the oath.

Originally, he thought that getting the certificate was just a matter of bringing his ID card and household registration book, but he didn't know that the process was so complicated. Moreover, when reciting the oath, he had to face the national flag and national emblem. There was an inexplicable sense of solemnity that made him very stressed.

Why is Brother-in-law Zhao confused? On the one hand, he feels that the style of painting is wrong, and he seems to have been tricked by his sister-in-law.

On the other hand, he unexpectedly discovered that many of the contents in the oath were bizarrely consistent with the actual situation between him and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. For example, respect and love each other, trust and encourage each other. Looking back on the eight years since the tragedy of Castaway Island, no matter good times or bad times, rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, he and Xue Qing have been in the same boat through thick and thin, sharing weal and woe, sharing joys and sorrows... It's just like what they said in their oath. !

"Where can I find such a good person, worthy of my innocent youth..."

This is a lyric and a very deep question.

Zhao Hao has been looking for such a person for many years, but he has never considered Red Pepper.

Because he was too familiar with his sister-in-law and was too embarrassed to do anything.

When he finished reading the wedding vows, he suddenly discovered that Red Chili Pepper was the most suitable person.

This feeling made him more and more confused, as if he had lived in a dog before.

Looking back on the ups and downs along the way, Zhao Hao felt guilty.

His youth was not innocent.

On the contrary, my sister-in-law's youth is innocent.

…

…

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, parents from both sides were waiting anxiously.

Zhao Hao's parents, Zhao Zhicheng and Su Yurong, and Xue Qing's parents, Xue Wenzheng and Lin Xiuru, are in intense discussions.

"Do you think they will provide false evidence to deceive us?" Lin Xiuru said nervously.

"This is a formal institution, don't think so darkly." Xue Wenzheng looked at the problem from a brighter perspective.

"That's hard to say. Qing'er has connections in many departments of Zhonghai. She said hello and the people below are not allowed to cooperate?" Lin Xiuru was still worried.

"I also feel a little strange. The two of them are together and they came too suddenly. Could they be working together to deceive us?" Zhao Zhicheng has the same worry.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's get the marriage certificate first!" Su Yurong said decisively.

"That's right, after getting the certificate and holding the wedding, they won't be able to deny it even if they want to!" Mother Xue was even more ruthless than Mother Zhao.

Zhao Zhicheng looked ashamed when he heard this: "If they are just pretending to be together to make us old men and women happy, if they really want to get the certificate, it will be too wrong for your daughter, and I am afraid it will ruin the girl's reputation."

Xue Wenzheng patted Zhao's father on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Old Zhao, you don't need to say these unofficial words, our two families have known each other for almost ten years. In fact, I have long considered your Xiao Zhao as my son-in-law. It’s just that… the original eldest son-in-law became the second son-in-law.”

"Let me break the news to you. In fact, I have known for a long time that that girl Qing'er is interested in Xiao Zhao. Her father and I also know that Weiwei has been gone for a long time. Xiao Zhao used to be her brother-in-law, and Qing'er couldn't say this. , she has been dragging her feet for so many years and refuses to get married. Her little thoughts are known to everyone in our family!" Lin Xiuru liked to use some weird idioms, and said with relief: "It's fine now, they both are. I don’t know how they got together. It doesn’t matter whether the eldest son-in-law or the younger son-in-law is my son-in-law. In the words of today’s young people, there is nothing wrong with him!”

…

…

Zhao Hao and Xue Qing walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and saw their parents staring at each other eagerly.

There is a lot of pressure between a man and a woman. In front of their parents, the so-called powerful one is of no use at all.

"Xiaohao, show me your marriage certificate." Su Yurong stretched out her hand domineeringly.

"Qing'er, let mom take a look at your marriage certificate." Lin Xiuru joined in from the back.

The two had no choice but to hand over the certificates they had just received, and their parents gathered together to examine it and comment on it as if no one else was around.

"This anti-counterfeiting mark is reliable."

"It looks like it's true."

"I finally got married. I waited until the flowers withered."

After hearing their parents' discussion, Zhao Hao and Red Pepper had black lines on their heads.

They didn't plan to get the marriage certificate so soon, but they didn't know that when they just told them about their relationship, their parents agreed: "You won't lie to us by pretending to be together. If you don't get the marriage certificate, everything you say will be false!"

Once upon a time, Xiao Zhao and his sister-in-law thought they could deceive their parents, but now they are being deceived in turn.

At this moment, this legally recognized young couple felt infinitely embarrassed and could only lament that old age still makes them hotter.

At this time, Su Yurong and Lin Xiuru had a good connection. At the same time, they picked up their mobile phones and took pictures wildly. Not only did they take pictures of their marriage certificate, but they also took a photo of Zhao Hao and Xue Qing standing at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Zhao Hao felt that the situation was not good and couldn't help but said: "Mom, why are you taking pictures?"

Su Yurong said confidently: "Of course it will be posted on Moments!"

Zhao Hao's chrysanthemum tightened: "Don't be so anxious, right?"

Su Yurong became more confident: "Can I not be anxious? You are almost thirty, and you have waited until now to get the certificate. My old sisters have had grandchildren in the past few years. My mother has managed to survive until this day. Are you not allowed to post pictures to show off?”

Xiao Zhao was instantly defeated, and he felt so guilty that he didn't dare to talk back.

Xue Qing was more tactful and said to Lin Xiuru: "Mom, this has a bad influence."

"What's wrong? You haven't been sneaking around. Are you still afraid of being found out?" Lin Xiuru was as confident as Su Yurong and taught her daughter how to be a good person: "You are not in the entertainment industry. Don't imitate those big stars who engage in hidden marriages. . For such a big happy event like marriage, it is important to let all relatives and friends know about it, so as not to prevent some aunts from thinking that you can’t get married!"

KO!

Red Hot Chili Pepper was instantly killed in one round and was unable to refute.

The two got into a business car that could accommodate many people, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

They all saw that these old men and women were determined to make things bigger.

"Xiao Hao, we agreed before that the house in Moon Bay will be your wedding room. From today on, you and your little wife will live there and live your two-person world. As for your mother and I, Let’s go back to the old house and live in it.” Father Zhao was indeed his real father, and he supported his son at the critical moment.

"Well, after you have children, I can consider moving here to help you take care of them." Su Yurong followed up.

Brother-in-law Zhao and sister-in-law were on the verge of crying, feeling deeply that this time they had made a big fuss and had run out of fun.

When their hearts were on the verge of collapse, Xue Wenzheng, who had always been kind-hearted, became the straw that broke the camel's back: "Now that I have received the certificate, it is no longer convenient to postpone the wedding. I looked at the almanac, and it is an auspicious day in three days, so the wedding is scheduled." On that day, we will go back and prepare to send invitations to relatives and friends."
