Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash. During this period, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were constantly shuttling between Shanghai and BJ. Either you came to visit me when I was free, or I came to visit you when I was free.
It took Yan Chen five years to not only obtain a double bachelor's degree in architecture, civil engineering and economics, but also obtain a postgraduate diploma.
At the same time, during those few years, he also found time to set up his own professional architectural design company, where the employees were basically his architecture students and classmates.
His architectural design company has achieved quite a lot so far. Several small and medium-sized buildings in their provincial capital were built using the architectural drawings provided by his company.
After those houses were built, they were recognized and praised by the general public and many real estate developers. They have also established their own reputation and brand in the industry.
Currently, many real estate companies and developers are interested in cooperating with them, and Yan Chen and the others are trying their best to choose more suitable and powerful companies to cooperate with.
Xiang Jin was not as crazy as him in her studies. She was slightly inferior. It took her six years to obtain a double bachelor's degree and a graduate diploma. This was because she was already familiar with economics.
Under the conditions where the method is relatively familiar, if she were not familiar with it, she would estimate that it would take seven years.
Just as Xiang Jin came down from the stage to receive her graduate diploma, she saw Yan Chen sitting in a suit and leather jacket somewhere in the last row of their lecture theater, smiling at her, and the corners of her mouth immediately changed.
It was raised, so as soon as the ceremony was over, she couldn't wait to run towards him.
"Slow down, be careful of falling," Yan Chen immediately hugged her as soon as she ran past.
Xiang Jin looked at him excitedly, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you were discussing a big project? You won't be back for a few days?"
Yan Chen hugged her and said, "Our Ajin received her master's degree today. How can I be absent from such an important day? Naturally, I want to come together to witness it."
Xiang Jin's eyes suddenly curled up with laughter, "So you came back specially today?"
Yan Chen nodded noncommittally, "Of course!"
Xiang Jin said, "Then you leave, what will happen to the project?"
Yan Chen said, "We have already negotiated and signed a contract. I will let people from the company handle some specific details."
"It's negotiated?! Signed a contract?! Why so fast?! Didn't you say that the other party has been negotiating the price with you?!" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Yan Chen said, "Of course we took a small step back."
"Why? It can't be because of me?!"
Yan Chen nodded, "Of course part of the reason is because of you, and there are others."
"Huh?! What do you mean?!" Xiang Jin looked at her with confusion.
Yan Chen held her hand and walked out, "Let's go back and talk."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh!"
When they got outside, Yan Chen handed Xiang Jin his hand to a boy who passed by them, "Classmate, could you please take a photo for us?"
"Oh, okay!" The boy looked at the camera in his hand and nodded, then took the camera from his hand.
"Thank you!"
"You are welcome!"
Xiang Jin held Yan Chen's arm and smiled happily, and Yan Chen's eyes were full of tenderness. The two of them stood there, especially opposite and dazzling. After the boy found a good angle, he continued to "click"
"A few times.
Xiang Jin and the others took the camera and looked at it, "Oh, it's a good photo?"
"Well, it's okay!" Yan Chen nodded after looking at the photos, and then said, "Stand over there, and I'll take two more photos for you alone."
Xiang Jin looked back, then nodded.
After Yan Chen took a picture of her, he followed the two of them towards their car. After getting in the car, Xiang Jin just fastened his seat belt when Yan Chen said to her.
"I brought your ID card and household registration book, as well as my ID card and household registration book, from home. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificates first. It's only a little over eleven o'clock now, and it's completely still
It’s coming.”
When Xiang Jin turned eighteen, she immediately changed her short-term ID card that was valid for five years to a slightly longer ID card that was valid for ten years, and then took her ID card to the police station.
I opened a separate account and applied for a household registration book.
"Ah?!" Xiang Jin was surprised again, "Go now. It's too soon. I haven't even changed my clothes yet. I'm still wearing a bachelor's uniform."
Yan Chen said, "It doesn't matter, this is very beautiful, and haven't we already prepared all the ID photos a long time ago? We don't need to take any more photos today."
Xiang Jin was dumbfounded, "Mr. Yan, are you too impatient?"
Yan Chen said, "Ajin, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. It has been ten years since we met you. We have been in love for six years, and it is almost time to get married.
, and you also promised me back then that as soon as you graduate from graduate school, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate immediately, no cheating!"
If you believe it, just say, "I'm not cheating. Just go, I'm not afraid!"
The corners of Yan Chen's lips curled up, and he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, "Okay!"
Yan Chen drove for more than ten minutes and they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When they got there, there were not many people coming to apply for marriage registration and divorce procedures. There were just a few sparse couples. There were even a few windows where no one was there.
If it's empty, the staff is either holding a quilt and drinking water, or a few people are chatting there. When they arrive, they start processing directly. It's very fast, and it's done in ten minutes.
However, due to their good looks and Xiang Jin’s bachelor’s uniform, they still aroused the curiosity and attention of many people. Even the person who registered their marriage couldn’t help but jokingly asked, “
Girl, you are getting double certificates today. You just got your postgraduate qualification certificate and now you are here to register your marriage certificate?!"
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yes!"
Someone was surprised and said, "Girl, you are still a graduate student. Can't you tell? I thought you just graduated from undergraduate degree. You don't look big?"
Xiang Jin's face turned slightly red. She was really not used to others praising her so much. After she felt a little embarrassed, she said, "You're not young anymore. You're twenty-two years old."
It’s over.”
Several license officers nodded, and one of them said, "As long as you reach the legal age for marriage!"
Xiang Jin and the others remained silent, and then a staff member opposite the staff member who registered their marriage said, "Hey, Sister Liu, how did you know this girl is a graduate student?"
In this era, graduate students are still very popular. There are very few people who can obtain the master's degree qualification because it is difficult to pass the exam. Xiang Jin is undoubtedly a very outstanding talent in their eyes.
The person who registered the marriage for Xiang Jin and the others said, "Look at the hats. The tassels on their hats are different colors. The tassels on those with a bachelor's degree are black, while those with a master's degree have dark blue tassels."
"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Everyone looked surprised for a while.
Sister Liu, who handled the marriage registration formalities for Xiang Jin and the others, said, "Isn't that true? I didn't know about it at first, but I only found out later after our boss Zhang gave me some knowledge."
While they were talking, their marriage registration procedures were completed. After receiving everyone's best wishes, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen took the two red books out of the civil affairs bureau's hall and came outside.
Looking at the red notebook in each hand, the two of them smiled like fools. Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said with emotion, "I didn't expect the two of us to get married like this?!"
Yan Chen said, "Yes, you are finally my wife, and I have become your husband. We have truly become a family, protected by the law."
The corners of Xiang Jin's lips raised high, "Yes, from now on I will be the serious boss lady to the employees in your company."
Yan Chen said, "You have always been their serious boss lady? Not only their boss lady, but also their boss, even I work for you."
"Huh? What do you mean?" His last words surprised Xiang Jin.
Yan Chen said, "When the company was established, I transferred 51% of the equity in my name to your name."
"Ah? Why didn't you tell me?!" Xiang Jin was immediately shocked.
Yan Chen said, "This is my wedding gift to you. Not only does 51% of the equity of this company belong to you, but also the 500-square-meter courtyard in BJ has been transferred to your name.
.”
Xiang Jin asked, "Why do I suddenly feel like I got a windfall?"
Yan Chen suddenly laughed, then leaned into her ear and said, "If you get me tonight, then you will get a serious windfall."
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him with a non-deterrent look, "Shameless!"
The smile on Yan Chen's lips became more and more joyful, and then he held her hand and walked to their car. When he got in the car, Xiang Jin asked, "Where are we going next? Should we go home directly?"
"
Yan Chen said, "Well, let's go home first. After you change your clothes, we can go out to eat."
"Okay!"
After the two of them got home, Yan Chen placed the two red notebooks side by side on the coffee table, opened them, and then took a photo with a "click" sound.
Before the camera could figure out why he was doing this childish operation, Yan Chen stacked the two red notebooks together and tore them into two halves, and then cut them into four pieces, then eight pieces.
Finally there are smaller pieces.
"Hey, why did you tear it up? I didn't even warm it up when I held it in my hand?" Xiang Jin was immediately shocked.
Yan Chen said, "We are not getting divorced, so why do we need this marriage certificate?"
Xiang Jin rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Childish!" However, the corners of her mouth straightened up.
The smile in Yan Chen's eyes grew stronger. He took the scraps and was about to throw them into the trash can, but Xiang Jin stopped him, "Oh, don't, don't, don't throw them away. This is our wedding."
As for the evidence of registration, if you lose it now, then we won’t have a physical object to show to the elders in the family."
Yan Chen said, "Didn't I take a photo just now? I have a photo to prove it."
"Oh, okay," Xiang Jin let go of his hand and let him throw it away.
After Yan Chen threw the debris into the trash can, he said, "Go on, go change clothes."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin bent down and picked up the camera from the coffee table and returned to the room.
After she changed her clothes and came out, she saw Yan Chen talking on the phone. She thought he was calling his colleagues at the company. When she walked over, she found out that he was talking to his grandfather, who was there murmuring that he would get his certificate from her today.
My son got married.
Xiang Jin was immediately dumbfounded. Why was this man so out of control today? She felt funny in her heart when she saw Yan Chen holding the phone and looking towards her, and then waved to her.
As Xiang Jin walked over, Yan Chen said to her, "Grandpa wants to talk to you."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin took the phone from him and called to the old man on the other end of the phone, "Grandpa Yan?!"
Yan Chen's grandfather laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Why are you still calling me Grandpa Yan?!"
Xiang Jin quickly changed his words and called, "Grandpa!"
"Oh, good, good, good, good boy," Yan Chen's grandfather's voice suddenly rose several degrees on the other end of the phone, "You have finally become my old man's granddaughter-in-law. Old man, I have been looking forward to this day.
It’s been a long time.”
Xiang Jin didn't say anything, but on the other end of the phone, the corner of his mouth almost reached his ears. Yan Chen and his grandfather then said, "This certificate is nonsense. I have discussed with Chen Chen when you will hold the wedding."
No?"
Xiang Jin said, "We have discussed before that we will hold it after you step down next year. By then everyone may be more free. Currently, Yan Chen's company has a lot of things to do, and I will also officially join the company to work.
Yes, you are also quite busy this year. Anyway, we are not very old, so it doesn’t matter if we hold the wedding a year or two later."
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone, "Well, okay, okay, when the time comes, grandpa will have a lot of time to prepare for your wedding after he retires and becomes a casualty."
"Thank you, grandpa!" Xiang Jin said on the other end of the phone.
Yan Chen's grandfather said, "Hey, you're welcome. Why should you thank me? Why should my own grandfather be so polite?"
Xiang Jin nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone, "Yeah, yeah, you're welcome, you're welcome!"
Yan Chen and his grandfather asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xiang Jin said, "Not yet, I plan to go out to eat later."
"Okay, then you go to eat first!"
"Oh, okay, goodbye grandpa!"
"Bye, bye!"
After Xiang Jin hung up the phone, he took out his mobile phone and hesitated whether to call people at home, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. There were too many places to call now.
Because their family is too spread out. Her grandparents live in the same place, her aunt and her brother live in the same place. Although her parents live in the same place, they don’t work in the same place. They only work together at night.
Together.
After her brother studied for three years at a junior college, he studied for two more years from a junior college to a bachelor's degree. After graduating from college two years ago, he went directly back to the countryside to take over the jobs of several grandparents in the melon and fruit fields, and he and her
Together with my aunt, I became the person in charge of managing the entire fruit and vegetable field.
The grandparents directly arranged for Xiang Jin and Yan Chen to move back to the provincial capital and start their retirement life. The two elderly people's houses are door-to-door neighbors, so the elderly people usually live there.
We often get together to chat and talk for a while.
Or just play cards and have a meal or something. If they get tired of living in the city, they will occasionally go to Xiang Jin and his two fields in the provincial capital to work and pick some fresh fruits and vegetables, or just
Go to the place where chickens and ducks are raised and pick up a basket of fresh chicken and duck eggs.
Yan Chen saw what she was thinking and said, "Let's fight tonight. I will fight with you then."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, okay!"
After the two of them went out to have lunch, they brought back some dishes. They didn't go out to eat in the evening and just cooked them at home.
After putting all the vegetables in the refrigerator, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Do you have anything else to be busy with later?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I'll be busy for a while. There are two design drafts that need to be modified."
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then just go about your business and I won't disturb you."
Ever since Yan Chen and Xiang Jin graduated a year ago, he had spent more time with each other in Shanghai, so later Xiang Jin directly vacated her previous room for him to use as a study room, so they
The home now has two rooms and a study room, but fortunately there are no guests coming here to stay.
Lei Jia's mother and grandmother also bought her a house in Pudong New District in Shanghai three years ago. It was a small three-bedroom house with an area of about 90 square meters.
When they first bought the house, the housing prices in Shanghai were at their lowest stage. For example, the house in the ordinary new district was originally 1,81 square meters, but finally fell to 1,451 square meters. Lei Jia and his family were at this time.
It cost more than 150,000 points in total to purchase.
Lin Zi's family bought a house here when they were still in freshman year, so her only two same-sex best friends here have their own houses here, so they don't need to live there anymore.
In their home.
When everyone usually wants to make an appointment for a meal or have a party, they just make a phone call and do it outside. Even if they come to the house occasionally, they always sit for a while and then leave.
After Lei Jia graduated, he directly found a trading company here to start a sales job, while Lin Zi went home directly to run a medicinal material shop.
When their family bought a house that year, they also bought a shop here. Later, his parents opened that shop into a medicinal materials shop, specializing in wholesale of Chinese medicinal materials. The main business was in their northeastern area.
Traditional Chinese medicinal materials for children, such as ginseng, deer antler, etc.
Therefore, she and Yan Chen usually only live in the house, so there is no need to use so many rooms.
"Then what are you doing?" Yan Chen hugged her and asked.
Xiang Jin said, "I have something to do. The flowers and plants on our balcony need to be watered, and some leaves need to be trimmed and wiped. Now that I have graduated, I have to live at home.
It’s time to clean out the blankets and sheets that were used to cover the sofa and put them away.”
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay! Now that you've finished washing, call me when you want to dry it, and I'll come out with you later."
"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded.
Yan Chen turned his head and kissed her on the cheek before letting her go. Then he went back to the study to handle his work, while Xiang Jin also started to do his own things.
