The battalion commander, Deng, saw the two of them charging towards him angrily.
He patted Su Yi, “Go ahead and get busy. You don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.”
Su Yi was eager to know if they had gotten their marriage certificate and naturally refused to leave.
“It’s fine, I’ll stay with you.”
When the two reached him, before they could speak,
Deng preemptively said, “Didn’t you two go to get your marriage certificate? Why are you back so soon?”
Qin Yunfeng saw Su Yi was there and silently turned his face away, “We’ve already gotten it and came back.”
Bai Ruolin didn’t dare to vent her anger on Deng, so she just glared angrily at Su Yi.
“You just had your moment in the spotlight yesterday, and today you know how to curry favor with the leader!”
Su Yi rolled her eyes, shrugged, and made a “what are you going to do about it” expression.
Deng, however, slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Bai Ruolin, how have you become so sarcastic and mean? I came here to personally ask Comrade Su to join our art troupe.”
Bai Ruolin, upon hearing this, forgot her own purpose in coming.
“Battalion Commander Deng, but she…our art troupe isn’t lacking in people!”
“Is it up to you to decide whether we lack people or not?” Deng warned her with a glance. “Well, since you’re both here, I’ll just say it.”
“Last night, before Comrade Xu’s Hulusi was damaged, someone witnessed you entering her dorm room.”
Bai Ruolin’s face drained of color upon hearing this.
“How is that possible? It’s slander, I didn’t do it!”
Deng sneered, “You know in your heart whether you did it or not. While there’s no evidence for this incident, your actions last night have already shown that you’re not suitable for promotion. Reflect on yourself and hone your skills for a few more years!”
Bai Ruolin originally thought that Deng’s words last night were just a moment of anger.
After all, her experience and ability were undeniable.
She had been waiting for this promotion for years, it was her turn.
But now, she was being passed over because of this?
Bai Ruolin was already exhausted, and this added stress made her feel faint.
Qin Yunfeng, seeing this, quickly helped her up.
He led her out, “Forget it, you didn’t get promoted this time, there’s always next time. There will always be opportunities.”
Bai Ruolin gritted her teeth, “You don’t understand! If Su Yi really joins the art troupe, will Deng even notice me anymore?”
Qin Yunfeng muttered, “She didn’t say she was going.”
Bai Ruolin looked at him incredulously, “Such a great opportunity, how could that little vixen Su Yi possibly not go?”
“Also, I asked you if she could sing, and you told me she was tone-deaf. What were you thinking?”
Qin Yunfeng, seeing her constantly berating Su Yi, felt a pang of displeasure.
Besides, whether Su Yi could sing or not, she shouldn’t have damaged someone’s instrument like that, almost causing a major incident.
Although Qin Yunfeng was also very disappointed in her, he thought that today was their marriage registration day and didn’t want to argue with her about this and make a spectacle of themselves.
So he took a step back, “Okay, let’s talk about it later!”
“By the way, we came to see Commander Deng about the housing issue. Why didn’t you mention it just now?”
Bai Ruolin whispered, “How could I bring it up? His attitude just now was like he wanted to kick me out of the army. How could I dare complain about housing to her?”
“What do we do then?”
Bai Ruolin took a deep breath and thought for a moment, “Let’s go, find Political Commissar Wang.”
As soon as they arrived at Political Commissar Wang’s office,
Bai Ruolin started to cry.
Seeing her swollen eyes, Political Commissar Wang kindly persuaded her, “Isn’t this a great day for you to get your marriage certificate? Why are you crying like this?”
Bai Ruolin sobbed, “We just got our marriage certificate and were going to get the keys and move to the logistics department, but they gave us a two-bedroom apartment, not even a separate bathroom.”
Political Commissar Wang’s face darkened, “That’s already very good, what else do you want?”
Bai Ruolin looked up at Political Commissar Wang incredulously, “Didn’t you promise to give us a big courtyard last time?”
Political Commissar Wang pursed his lips unhappily, “You’re not getting promoted, and Qin Yunfeng is just a deputy company commander, how can you qualify for a big courtyard?”
“And what you did yesterday, you think you’ll get away with it so easily? Someone reported it to me this morning, at this critical moment, you still want a big courtyard!”
Political Commissar Wang couldn’t help but slam his fist on the table as he spoke.
These two have caused him so much trouble lately.
If this continues, he’ll be ruined by them sooner or later.
Seeing this, Qin Yunfeng could only pull Bai Ruolin out of the office again.
As they passed Zhou Jinchuan’s office, he couldn’t help but glance inside.
Could all these things, starting from last night, be related to him?
Thinking about this, Qin Yunfeng broke out in a cold sweat and immediately pulled Bai Ruolin out.
“Don’t be upset, at least we got our marriage certificate today, be happy.”
“Let’s move our stuff to the new house first, then tidy up, we have to invite people over tomorrow to celebrate!”
His words hit Bai Ruolin’s sore spot,
“Celebrate what? Two broken rooms, and you have the nerve to invite people over?”
After coaxing her for a long time, Qin Yunfeng was also tired.
“Whatever! We can move tomorrow too!”
He said this and walked away.
……
On the other side, after seeing off Commander Deng, Su Yi finally stopped pretending and happily hummed a tune.
This was because Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin had already gotten their marriage certificate, which meant the main plot had been changed.
She felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
To ensure she could enjoy their wedding feast tomorrow, Su Yi went to Chef Wang’s kitchen before work.
“Chef Wang, are you busy? Is tomorrow’s feast still on?”
Chef Wang rolled his eyes at her, “You’re hoping their feast gets cancelled, aren’t you? Unfortunately, your wish won’t come true! Deputy Company Commander Qin just came to personally remind me to prepare the feast for tomorrow afternoon.”
Su Yi smiled and left.
Chef Wang was stunned. This girl must be out of her mind, right?
Her ex-fiancé is having a feast, and she’s still grinning.
The next day,
The trio of Su Yi, Xu Xiaoqin, and Zhang Tianhua all got a day off.
Su Yi slept in, the all-wool blanket was so warm!
And it was free!
After sleeping her fill, she slowly got up to wash up.
She wasn’t planning on eating breakfast either.
She would eat at the feast at noon and make sure she got her 20-cent red envelope’s worth!
After getting ready, Su Yi went downstairs to find the two kids.
Zhou Jinchuan was also invited, and he would definitely be sitting at the head table.
The two kids were uncomfortable with him, so they were better off with her.
When Su Yi arrived at the courtyard and entered, she saw Ye Xiaowu rummaging through boxes.
Su Yi quickly asked what he was looking for.
“Sister Su, you’re just in time, Uncle Zhou’s hand is injured, do you remember where the iodine is kept in the house?”
