Hearing their Eldest brother's words, Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun exchanged glances but refused to comnt. As the eldest, Li Chenze didn't understand the rivalry between younger brothers with similar personalities and mindsets.
As people say, magnets with the sa magnetic pole repel each other. For the two brothers with similar personalities, they often found each other annoying but also endearing. It was a complicated feeling, only they understood.
Under this strange atmosphere, the brothers arrived at the brigade's office. After parking their bicycles, the three of them entered the building.
When the brigade staff saw them, they greeted them with a smile. Li Chenmo returned the greetings and said, "Comrade, we ca to register my newborn niece's na under my eldest brother's na."
When the staff heard this, they congratulated them. Receiving the congratulations, the Li brothers took out several packs of cigarettes and candies from their pockets and shared so with the staff.
While they were sharing the candies and cigarettes, Jiang Zemin walked out of the archive room and asked, "Brother Chenmo, what brings you and your brothers here today?"
Hearing his voice, Li Chenmo turned to him and replied, "Brother Zemin, my brothers and I ca today to ask for your help."
"It's rare for you to ask sothing from . Please have a seat," Jiang Zemin said.
After they took their seats, he asked, "Brother Chenmo, what can I do for you and your brother?"
"Brother Zemin, I ca to register my newborn daughter's na under mine. Here are the docunts and my household registration book," Li Chenze replied as he handed the envelope to him.
Jiang Zemin opened the envelope and read the docunts. After a mont, he asked, "Brother Chenze, may I ask what your daughter's na is?"
During his wife's pregnancy, they had chosen a na for their unborn child. If it was a boy, they would na him Li Jingye. If it was a girl, they would na her Li Jingqiu.
Since it was a baby girl, Li Chenze replied, "It's Li Jingqiu. Li as in force, Jing as in scenery, and Qiu as in autumn."
When he heard this na, Jiang Zemin nodded and praised, "It's a beautiful na."
"It was chosen by my wife," Li Chenze said with a hint of pride.
While the reason they chose this na was because the baby was born during the autumn season, the na was indeed beautiful. The scenery during autumn is beautiful and unforgettable.
The procedure of registering the newborn baby was not as complicated as issuing a new household registration book after a family separation. So, the docunts were stamped and the na was listed in half an hour.
When Jiang Zemin returned the household registration book to Li Chenze, he said, "Brother Chenze, congratulations. If you have any problems, you can co find in the future."
Li Chenze checked the book. When he saw his daughter's na listed under his na, he smiled and replied, "Thank you for your help, Brother Zemin."
"It's my duty," Jiang Zemin said and sent them off.
After the Li family left the brigade office, the staff shared the candies and cigarettes with the staff from another departnt.
While the Li family was bubbling with happiness, Han Yuheng received a letter from his brother.
After reading the letter, he went to find his wife and said, "Wife, Yuluo sent a letter back."
Hearing her husband's words, Bai Luyun ca out of the kitchen and asked, "Husband, what did he say? Will he co back this year?"
"Yuluo will stay until the Lantern Festival. The factory gave him a long vacation. Also, he is coming back to register his marriage," Han Yuheng said with a smile.
The mont she heard this, Bai Luyun's eyes lit up and she asked, "Husband, did my Brother-in-law tell you who the girl is?"
Shaking his head, Han Yuheng replied, "He didn't say anything about the girl, but as long as he likes her, I will support his decision."
"Then, what about Liling?" Bai Luyun asked with expectation.
Seeing his wife's gaze, Han Yuheng hesitated for a mont before he said, "Yuluo said that Liling is still unwilling to see us. So, they won't stay at our ho during their visit."
When she heard this, Bai Luyun was disappointed, but she knew that she couldn't force her daughter. After a long silence, she asked, "If they don't stay at our ho, where will they stay?"
"I will prepare a house for them. Even though Liling is unwilling to see us, we can go see her secretly. Wife, let's give her more ti," Han Yuheng said.
Hearing this, Bai Luyun nodded. While she already understood everything, when she thought of her daughter, there was still so resentnt in her heart. These resentnts were not aid at her husband, but at the fate that controlled their lives.
After comforting his wife for a while, Han Yuheng left the house to find Han Jinhe. Although he was the team leader, he still had to follow the procedure according to the rules.
At the sa ti, in the seaside city, Han Yuluo looked at his manager and asked, "Manager Geng, I have never taken a day off. Now I need to go back to my hotown to register my marriage. Why can't I take a month's leave?"
Geng Wei sipped on his tea before he said, "Xiao Han, ah, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter. But you are taking a month off. Your position as an accountant is important. If you take a month off, what should we do about the workers' salaries?"
"Manager Geng, it takes five days to reach my hotown from here. The trip back and forth already takes ten days. After registering my marriage, I still have to hold a wedding banquet and open the ancestral hall to register my wife's na. A month is barely enough ti," Han Yuluo explained.
When he heard this, Geng Wei placed his teacup down and said, "Xiao Han, I really can't help you with this matter. If you were only taking two weeks off, I could give you permission. But a month off is impossible."
