Chapter 662

May 6, 1993, the 15th day of the third intercalary month of the lunar calendar, Thursday!

Two things happened on this day. First, Andy Lau's new album, *Forget Water*, was released, and he announced a donation of two million RMB to the Yugong Group Hope Primary School Charity Fund.

Second, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu got married. The two arrived at the district civil affairs bureau early and were the first to arrive.

Zhou Andong held a large bag in his hand, which contained bags of wedding candies and wedding cigarettes.

After entering, whenever he saw someone, Zhou Andong started handing them out. This made those who followed him in feel as awkward as could be.

"Oh my!"

A middle-aged man didn't pay much attention when he received the wedding candy handed over by Zhou Andong. He said thank you, and only after returning to his office did he see clearly that it was actually White Rabbit Creamy Candy, and the cigarettes were Zhonghua, ten in total.

The middle-aged man weighed it with his hand; there was definitely half a catty of candy. This was truly a grand gesture. In this era, White Rabbit Creamy Candy was a high-end item; ordinary families wouldn't even be willing to buy it during the New Year.

At this time, another man in his fifties, somewhat bald, walked into the office, also holding a bag of wedding candy.

"Old Liu, did you get the wedding candy?" The bald man sat opposite the middle-aged man.

"Got it!" The middle-aged man pointed to the table, "The cigarettes are Zhonghua, the candy is White Rabbit. He handed them out to everyone he saw. I don't know who this person is, but it's really a grand gesture."

The bald man said: "He looks a bit familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him for a moment."

After finishing, he opened the bag, took out a Zhonghua, lit it with satisfaction, and took a deep drag.

"I've worked at the civil affairs bureau for over twenty years. It's not the first time I've received wedding candy and cigarettes from newlyweds, but receiving White Rabbit and Zhonghua is truly the first time."

"Sister Hou, the White Rabbit is really sweet."

A young girl and a middle-aged woman walked in.

"Kong Chang, you got the wedding candy and cigarettes too, right?" The bald man asked.

"Got them!" The young girl opened her mouth and said with a grin: "I've already eaten one."

The bald man said: "You don't smoke; how about I trade you some candy for your cigarettes?"

The young girl struggled for a good while, then finally shook her head: "No trade, I'm giving the cigarettes to my dad."

The bald man looked at the middle-aged woman: "Little Hou, I'll trade you some candy for your cigarettes."

Sister Hou said with a smile: "No trade, Old Lu in our family smokes; I have to save these Zhonghua for him."

The middle-aged man said: "I'll trade with you; ten cigarettes for all your White Rabbit."

The bald man glared: "You want to trade ten cigarettes for all my White Rabbit?"

The middle-aged man said: "Half a pack of Zhonghua for your White Rabbit; what else do you have to say?"

The bald man held the White Rabbit: "There must be half a catty here."

The middle-aged man said: "Regardless of how much you have, trade or not? If not, forget it."

The bald man thought for a moment: "Then I'll trade five cigarettes; I have to save some for my granddaughter."

"Fine!" The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.

Zhou Andong was running around the civil affairs bureau handing out wedding candy and cigarettes, and then arrived at the certificate office.

The certificate officer was a woman in her thirties. When she opened Zhou Andong's household registration book and saw Jiangzhou and Zhou Andong's name, she was stunned, then raised her head and looked at Zhou Andong in shock.

"You..."

"Shh!" Zhou Andong hurriedly raised a finger: "Please keep it confidential."

After finishing, he gave the remaining several bags of wedding candy and cigarettes to the certificate officer: "Take them all."

"I didn't expect you to get your marriage certificate here." The certificate officer smiled and pushed the wedding candy and cigarettes back, "I've already taken some; I can't take any more."

"Hey!" Zhou Andong pushed them over again, "There's only this much left, and I'm too lazy to take them back. You just keep them. If I missed anyone, you can help me give them out."

Hearing Zhou Andong say this, the certificate officer agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it confidential for you."

Then Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu received their marriage certificate amidst a chorus of congratulations.

The two came out of the district civil affairs bureau, stood on the steps, looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Wife!"

"Husband!"

The smile on Zhou Andong's face became brighter and brighter: "Let's go eat a big meal to celebrate."

"Good!" Seeing Jian Qiu held Zhou Andong's hand and walked down the steps, "What do you want to eat?"

Zhou Andong said: "You say!"

Seeing Jian Qiu thought for a moment: "Let's go eat roast duck; it's closer. Then we'll go pick up the company license."

Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Let's go!"

At this time, inside the civil affairs bureau, they were still discussing Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu.

"The bride is truly beautiful, especially her temperament; it's really good."

"Why do I feel like the groom looks familiar?"

"Now that you mention it, I also feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Go ask Wang Yue what the groom's name is."

Zhou Andong didn't know about the discussion in the civil affairs bureau, nor would he care. Now he only had Seeing Jian Qiu in his eyes; this feeling was completely different from when they were dating.

The two had a wonderful meal at Quanjude, then strolled along the street toward the hospital.

"Big Sister?"

A somewhat uncertain shout came from behind.

Seeing Jian Qiu didn't pay attention at first, thinking they were calling someone else.

After a while, a boy of fifteen or sixteen ran past them, then looked back and burst into laughter.

"Big Sister, when did you get back?" As he spoke, the boy kept sizing up Zhou Andong.

"Jian Mingfan!" Seeing Jian Qiu said: "What are you doing here?"

Jian Mingfan didn't answer her, but looked at Zhou Andong with great interest: "Sister, is this my brother-in-law?"

Seeing Jian Qiu nodded and said to Zhou Andong: "Jian Mingfan, from my uncle's family."

Zhou Andong reached out his hand: "Hello!"

Jian Mingfan shook hands with Zhou Andong with a grin: "Brother-in-law, my classmates all admire you very much. I told them you were my brother-in-law, but they didn't believe me."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "When you have time, call your classmates out; I'll treat them to a meal."

Jian Mingfan said happily: "Good!"

Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes: "You still haven't told me, what are you doing here?"

Jian Mingfan said: "I'm going to Wang Fujing to watch the Dicos balcony show."

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "You can go, but don't cause trouble."

"Don't worry!" Jian Mingfan waved his hand, "I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Zhou Andong thought that something might happen tonight: "We're going too tonight; want to go with us?"

"Sure!" Jian Mingfan agreed without hesitation, then looked at Seeing Jian Qiu, "Sister, this brother-in-law invited me, so I'm not deliberately causing trouble for you."

At this time, a couple walked toward them. The man was not tall, definitely under 1.7 meters. He was in his thirties, chubby, wearing a suit and tie, his leather shoes were shiny, and he was tucking a leather bag under his arm. He looked like a successful person.

And the woman was more than a head taller than the man. The two walking together looked very incongruous.

"Hehe..."

Watching this man and woman pass by, Jian Mingfan chuckled, "The height difference is a bit big."

Zhou Andong also laughed along: "As long as it matches in the middle, who cares if the sides are uneven."

"Ouch!" Zhou Andong let out a cry of pain.

Seeing Jian Qiu pinched Zhou Andong's ear and said irritably: "Are you okay? Saying these things to a child."
