"Haha! Lao San, after you two register later, go see your grandpa and tell him that in a few days, both families should have a al together. After all, you’ve got your marriage certificate, so it’s ti to change the way you address each other!" Elder An said with a smile.
"Alright, I’ll make sure to pass on Grandpa’s ssage." Gu Yelin responded obediently, calling "Grandpa" effortlessly without any awkwardness.
Listening to this "Grandpa," Elder An bead with a wide smile and nodded repeatedly.
"I say, Lao San, don’t you think your ’Grandpa’ cos a bit too naturally? You must have practiced quite a bit in private, huh?" An Zhiyan, who had been choked by soybean milk, finally caught his breath, and with a mischievous smile, looked at Gu Yelin, seizing the rare opportunity to tease Gu Laosan.
Gu Yelin calmly glanced at An Zhiyan, nodded expressionlessly: "Well, when you have a wife, you need to think more about it."
An Zhiyan suddenly felt a bit frustrated. He wanted to tease Gu Yelin, but didn’t expect this damn man to show off his love instead, spreading dog food everywhere!
It’s just a wife, isn’t it? Who doesn’t have one? Next ti, he’s going to find one too and spread dog food until they’re stuffed! Hmph!
After breakfast, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin were seen off by the An Family as they drove away from the An Family Villa, heading to the marriage office.
Since it’s almost Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day, there are more people registering for marriage than usual. When An Yiqing and Gu Yelin arrived at the marriage office, there were already seven or eight couples waiting in line in the hall.
The two didn’t use any special connections, but found a seat in the hall, sitting hand in hand.
Sitting next to An Yiqing and Gu Yelin was a slightly chubby young couple. The man had a simple, honest look with a round face and glasses, smiling as he spoke. The woman had a baby face, slightly plump but not overly fat. The young couple likely just graduated from university and entered society, their eyes still carrying a bit of innocence.
The baby-faced girl was very chatty, extrely friendly, and talked to An Yiqing about many topics, confirming her guesses. They had just graduated a year ago and were Northern drifters, with so help from their parents, they just got a small place of their own in Xuandu City. Although not affluent, they have just enough.
Both were computer science majors, and in opportunity-laden Xuandu City, finding a job was relatively easier. Especially since both graduated from prestigious universities with master’s degrees, their credentials were solid. As long as they didn’t overspend, supporting a small family was more than doable.
From the baby-faced girl’s words, An Yiqing could sense the young couple’s contentnt and gratitude. They were a pair of passionate, contented, and joyful young spouses.
"Xiao Qing, isn’t the age difference between you and your husband quite large?" The baby-faced girl nad Liu Xiaobai asked quietly when Gu Yelin went to buy water for An Yiqing.
An Yiqing nodded, "He’s eight years older than ."
"Eight years?!" Liu Xiaobai’s mouth opened slightly, then she looked at An Yiqing with so concern, "You’re twenty this year, so he’s twenty-eight? They say a man’s stamina starts to decline at thirty, how’s your married life...?"
An Yiqing’s head was full of black lines, fortunately, Liu Xiaobai’s words weren’t heard by Gu Yelin, as he was most sensitive about others comnting on him being ’old’ due to their age gap.
After all, an eight-year age difference is quite significant. Gu Yelin’s friends once joked about him being an old cow eating young grass, and they were all retaliated against in various ways.
"Uh... Ah Lin is in the military, his physical condition is quite good." An Yiqing hesitated for a while, then found a not overly shocking reason. She couldn’t possibly say she practices martial arts, her husband practices martial arts, their whole family practices martial arts, right?
"A military man? That’s good then. Military n’s physical fitness is indeed much stronger than average!" Liu Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded comfortingly, as if it were her own husband who might have had an issue.
An Yiqing also nodded, secretly wiping away a bit of sweat, thankfully dodging that bullet.
But she celebrated too soon. Liu Xiaobai, whose thought process was different from ordinary people, suddenly brightened up.
"Wife, cough cough! Why are you so concerned about other people’s husbands?"
"Curious, that’s all! They say military n have great stamina, I just wanted to see if it’s true." Liu Xiaobai blinked her big eyes, looking at her own husband with a smile.
