Chapter 64

“Okay, okay, I’ll let you be the deputy head of the regiment. I’ll give you a notice next month.”

Director Mu was so annoyed by his nagging that her head was about to swell three times. She was really afraid of this living ancestor and was reluctant to let him go.

If northwest really pried him away, he would be laughed to death by his colleagues.

Lu Ye, this golden nugget, was watched by military regions across the country like a wolf. This kid was a little crazy, but he was really capable. He could complete a task that others couldn’t complete in a month in just three days.

Even if such a precious nugget went crazy, what could he do? He could only bear it     ! “Okay, send someone to pick up these spies. I’m going to have my wedding night tomorrow and I don’t have time to send them off!”     Lu Ye was satisfied. The deputy head of the regiment was barely worthy of his Qiqi. “

Does     your father know?”    

Director Mu’s head began to swell again. He knew without asking that Lu Desheng definitely didn’t know.     This father and son were really the grievances of their previous lives.    

“I know, Director Mu, prepare your red envelopes, don’t make them too small!”     Lu Ye asked for red envelopes. It was rare for him to get married, so he must earn enough red envelopes.    

“Don’t worry, it won’t be small. Bring your relatives to my place for dinner next time.”    

Director Mu smiled, still very happy for Lu Ye. This kid finally found a like-minded partner, and he won’t be lonely anymore.    

Lu Ye grinned and hung up the phone.    

He found a place in the armed forces department to take a nap for three hours. When it was dawn, the people sent by Director Mu also arrived and took away Li Laowu and his group of nine people. The death penalty was definitely waiting for them.    

After handing over to these people, Lu Ye drove back to Ruanjiawan. Ruan Shuangjiang and Ruan Xiaoxue were up and preparing breakfast, and Ruan Qiqi was still sleeping.    

“Brother-in-law is back, and the rice noodles are almost cooked.”    

Ruan Shuangjiang didn’t ask him what he did all night. She knew that her brother-in-law was doing something big, so there was no need to ask.    

Lu Ye took a cold shower and changed into a brand new military uniform, which he brought specially for the purpose of wearing when he received the certificate.     There was a big bowl of steaming rice noodles on the table. Ruan Shuangjiang cooked dry rice noodles, which were chewier than wet rice noodles. She fried five eggs and chopped sour beans into small pieces, fried them with chili powder, and poured them on the rice noodles. It looked good and tasted good.     “If it’s not enough, add more to the pot. I cooked a lot!”    

Ruan Shuangjiang brought up another plate of mugwort cakes. The mugwort on the mountain was particularly tender during the Qingming Festival, and the locals loved to make mugwort cakes.    

“Thank you, sister.”    

Lu Ye smiled and respected Ruan Shuangjiang very much.     He finished a big bowl of rice noodles and ate three mugwort cakes, and his whole body was warm.    

Ruan Qiqi also got up. After washing up, he ate a bowl of rice noodles and went to the commune with Lu Ye to receive the certificate.    

“Xiaoxue, have you called the people who make glutinous rice cakes?”    

When she left, Ruan Qiqi was still thinking about glutinous rice cakes. These days, she has to bake glutinous rice cakes every day. Three blisters have grown in her mouth, but she still can’t control it. Baked glutinous rice cakes stuffed with brown sugar or with moldy tofu are super super super delicious.    

“I’ve called them, they will be here soon, Junjie and his cousin will come too!” Ruan Xiaoxue smiled.    

She called the people yesterday and agreed to come to her house to make glutinous rice cakes at nine in the morning.    

Ruan Qiqi was relieved and dragged Lu Ye away.    

“Hurry up and get the certificate, let’s come back to make glutinous rice cakes. I tell you, freshly made glutinous rice cakes are especially delicious, you will definitely like them.”    

As Ruan Qiqi spoke, her mouth was drooling, and it was flooding.    

Lu Ye also swallowed a few times. He had never eaten glutinous rice cakes, but it sounded delicious.    

The two of them quickened their pace at the same time. The car stopped at the entrance of the village. On the way, they met many villagers who were going to work. They all greeted them enthusiastically.    

“Qiqi, where are you going?”   

 “To get the marriage certificate. There will be a wedding banquet at home in three days. Remember to come to the party!”   

 Ruan Qiqi announced the good news generously.    

Everyone was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze. When they reacted, the two had already driven away.   

 “This deputy battalion commander really came to our house? It’s strange. This is the first time I see a deputy battalion commander coming to my house!”     “What does he want from Ruan Qiqi?”    

“He wants her to be pretty. Ruan Qiqi is the prettiest in our village.”    

“Ruan Qiqi really lost sesame seeds and picked up watermelons. She is so blessed!”    

…    

The villagers talked about it with envy and jealousy. Half a month ago, they were still pitying Ruan Qiqi for being rejected, and said that she couldn’t even marry a widower whose cousin had died. Now they just want to pity themselves.     Ruan Qiqi will soon go to the city to be an official’s wife and enjoy life. They are still working like cows and horses in the countryside, facing the loess and back to the sky. Alas… When will the hard days end! Ruan     Qiqi, who was envied by them, has already arrived at the commune. She and Lu Ye found the department to register their marriage and took out their household registration booklet and letter of introduction. Nowadays, marriage certificates do not require photos, which is quite convenient.    

But you need to recite quotations!   

 “The world is yours, and it is ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality and are in a prosperous period, like the sun at eight or nine o’clock in the morning. Hope rests on you… The world belongs to you, and the future of China belongs to you!”    

Ruan Qiqi recited a long passage of quotations fluently, and Lu Ye followed suit. Both of them recited very well, without even a pause.    

The staff looked at them with admiration, and they did not dare to look down on Lu Ye because he was wearing a military uniform. They spoke politely. ”     Bang, bang, bang!”    

The staff member tapped the official seal neatly and handed them two marriage certificates, saying: “Congratulations on becoming revolutionary partners. I hope you can supervise each other, make progress together, and contribute to the construction of socialism!”    

“Thank you, leader. We will definitely study the quotations well and strive for progress!”    

Ruan Qiqi took the marriage certificate with both hands. Her expression and tone were very solemn. Like an oath, she expressed her determination to make progress.    

The two of them left the office with the freshly-made marriage certificate. Standing on the street, they looked at each other and smiled.     Marriage certificate from the 1970s    

“Go back to Ruanjiawan?” Lu Ye was a little conflicted.     He wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes, but he also wanted to be alone with Qiqi. Today was their wedding day.    

“Do you want to eat glutinous rice cakes, or do you want to eat… me?”

Ruan Qiqi leaned close to his ear and asked softly. The hot steam she exhaled made his face red and his ears red.

Lu Ye’s heart was about to jump out, thumping louder than a drum. He kept hearing the words “eat… me”, and was nervous, excited, and a little shy.

“Where to eat?”

Lu Ye’s voice was very soft, and his eyes were sparkling. He didn’t want to eat glutinous rice cakes now, but only wanted to eat his Qiqi, which must be better than glutinous rice cakes.

“Guesthouse, idiot!”

Ruan Qiqi glared. There was a guesthouse in the town.

They asked the guesthouse to open the best single room. The room was very clean, the bedding was washed very clean, and it smelled of soap. As soon as the door was closed, the two couldn’t wait to hug each other.

Lu Ye kissed her anxiously, but Ruan Qiqi covered his mouth.

“You have blisters, let’s get rid of the heat first!”

There were three blisters in his mouth, and kissing would definitely hurt. The most urgent thing was to get rid of the heat.

“How do we surrender?”

Lu Ye was a young boy with no experience in this area.

“Just take a few more naps, hurry up, and don’t waste time!”

Ruan Qiqi was already burning with anger, she had been holding back for ten years, now she could finally vent.

Lu Ye grinned, turned the passive into active, held her horizontally on the bed, and soon the room was filled with spring light, like rain in Wushan.
