The Great Era of Siheyuan

After comforting Liu Li, Li Wenqiang rushed to the police station without stopping. To him, Liu Li was just a spice in his life.

If it weren't for Liu Yuhua's stunning beauty, he certainly wouldn't mind having a deep conversation with her, but now with such a beautiful face in front of him, she was clearly far inferior.

"Yuhua, sorry for the wait. Comrade, this is my marriage application form. Please take a look at it!"

Li Wenqiang handed over his marriage application form with a smile and stuffed a few red envelopes inside. The amount was not much, only ten cents each, for good luck.

As the saying goes, it is easy to deal with the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little devils. Unless you can't ask for help from these low-level staff, they will play tricks on you and make you sick to death.

The lady who was doing the work naturally saw what he did with his hands. A happy smile instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes narrowed.

"Oh, why are you doing all this? You are too polite. You even gave me a red envelope. I am so embarrassed. Please take it away. We are all serving the people. It is our duty to help you."

The lady at the registration office said sorry, but she was holding the red envelope in her hand and had no intention of returning it.

Li Wenqiang naturally wouldn't take her words seriously. A few cents wasn't a lot for him. It would be a good omen and he could save a lot of unnecessary trouble, so why not do it?

In other words, their positions are too low and they probably won’t be of any use in the future, otherwise Li Wenqiang could have given them more.

"Big sister, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to get a good start! Could you please help me register?"

"You're a great guy, let's take him in! You and this girl are a match made in heaven. In all these years, I've never seen a prettier bride and groom than you two!"

"That's right, the boy is so handsome, and the girl is also very pretty, just like a perfect match. I wish you a long and happy marriage and a son soon!"

……

After receiving the red envelopes, several ladies who were in charge of the marriage registration service nearby started praising Li Wenqiang and Liu Yuhua, causing Liu Yuhua to lower her head in shyness.

"Here, girl, where is your marriage application form?"

An older sister came over and asked enthusiastically.

"I'm the owner of the public-private joint venture bookstore next door."

Liu Yuhua said softly.

"Is that so? Then just fill this out and we'll stamp it for you!"

The elder sister smiled and took out an application form from the drawer and asked her to sit down and fill it out. This is a typical example of being soft-hearted and unyielding. If it weren't for the red envelope just now, I guess the attitude would have been just a matter of business.

Gift-giving is a science. A person who knows how to give gifts is often more likely to be liked by others than those who work hard. There is no one who will not like a person who is good at dealing with people and speaks nicely, even if you don't know him.

Liu Yuhua quickly filled in her information and Li Wenqiang took a sneak peek.

Liu Yuhua, Han nationality, born at No. 21 Houyuanensi Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District, date of birth May 1941, 5, university degree.

Her birthday was the same as mine, the Dragon Boat Festival, but according to the age of this world, I was one year older than her and graduated from junior high school. The two people who were originally unrelated, under my thick skin, directly achieved a happy ending.

"Okay, here is your marriage certificate, keep it! Congratulations on your marriage, and may you live happily ever after!"

The eldest sister smiled and handed over a marriage certificate with bright flowers printed on it.

"Thank you, sis!"

Li Wenqiang took it with a smile, then took Liu Yuhua away.

"I didn't expect you to be a college student! But did you graduate from college at such a young age? Why didn't your boss assign you a job? Did you open a store on your own?"

Li Wenqiang asked while holding Liu Yuhua's hand.

From the moment she went out, she was a little absent-minded and seemed a little restrained, and Li Wenqiang did not stimulate her too much.

No matter whether she chose to marry him on impulse or really wanted to find someone to marry, he was sure to have this piece of meat.

"I skipped a grade in elementary and middle school, and graduated from Minzu University. I like literature, and I was assigned to be a secretary for someone else. But I didn't like it, and many people harassed me. I applied to work in a library, but was rejected. So I took over the bookstore at home. It's nice to read books every day."

Liu Yuhua felt a little embarrassed when Li Wenqiang asked this question. After all, it is not a good reputation for a college student to stay at home.

"That's right. It's good for you to just read books at home in the future. Come on, get in the car. I'll take you to take wedding photos."

Li Wenqiang smiled and drove Liu Yuhua to the Capital Photo Studio on Gulouqian Road. Liu Yuhua followed him obediently throughout the whole process, as if she was going to follow her husband wherever he goes.

Nowadays, all photo studios are state-owned and monopolized. A one-inch black and white photo costs 40 cents, a two-inch photo costs 80 cents, and an extra inch costs 40 cents. Color photos cost several times more. After taking photos on the same day, you have to wait a month to get the photos. The monthly turnover of the photo studio can reach more than 100,000 yuan, and the salary of the photographer is 440 yuan per month.

With Yi Zhonghai's salary, even if he swung his pliers until smoke came out, he couldn't make this much money. So, choice is more important than hard work. The height a person can reach can be seen from the moment he makes the choice.

"Hello, we want to take a wedding photo."

Li Wenqiang walked into the photo studio and said to the salesperson.

It was still early, and everyone had gone to work, so there weren't many people around. However, Li Wenqiang's handsomeness and Liu Yuhua's stunning beauty still made everyone lose their minds and stare blankly for a moment.

"Hello, what kind of photos do you want to take?"

A young girl at the business counter saw Li Wenqiang and asked in a low voice, looking at him shyly. She never thought that he was the garbage man who collected waste in the alley every day.

"Take two ten-inch color photos for me."

Li Wenqiang said calmly, turned his head and looked around, making those with dishonest eyes lower their heads.

"Okay, a 16-inch color photo is 32 yuan, two photos are yuan in total. Pay first and then take the photo. Then come back with the receipt in a month to pick up the photos."

The little girl spoke to him skillfully.

"Color ones are too expensive, why don't we just take a random photo?"

Liu Yuhua gently pulled Li Wenqiang's hand and whispered to persuade him, frowning with heartache. She only made a few dozen yuan a month, and these two photos were more than a month's salary. How could she not feel distressed?

"It's okay, marriage is a lifelong event, it's okay to spend a little money!"

Li Wenqiang grabbed her hand and comforted her.

"Please put the negatives in when the time comes. I want to keep them."

Li Wenqiang took out some money from his pocket, counted it and handed it over.

"Don't worry, our negatives will be given to you along with the photos!"

After taking the money, the girl gave him a receipt and waited by the side.

After a while, after two flashes of light, the happy and shy smiles of Li Wenqiang and Liu Yuhua were frozen in the film.

Unlike the others who stared at the camera with wide eyes, under the guidance of Li Wenqiang, the two placed their marriage certificate in front of their chests, held it with both hands, one above and one below, and looked forward with a smile.

There is also a photo of Li Wenqiang and Liu Yuhua looking at each other affectionately, and the photographer took a side shot of them.

"Little brother, the photos you take like this are really great. How did you come up with this idea?"

The beautiful painting style made the photographer praise the two people continuously.

"Nothing, I just wanted to take the photo. Yuhua, let's go home!"

Li Wenqiang held Liu Yuhua's hand and left with a smile.
