Chapter 10

The next morning, Wei Jianguo showed up at the Song family with his stuff.

“Grandpa, we’re going to get the marriage certificate,” Song Shuxi said to Old Man Song.

“Go ahead, Wei boy, my Shuxi is in your hands. Treat her well. If there’s anything, discuss it together. Communication is very important,” Old Man Song learned from his own marriage.

“I will,” Wei Jianguo promised seriously.

He was extremely nervous at this moment.

When the two-left home, Wei Jianguo was so nervous that he was at a loss.

Song Shuxi couldn’t help but laughed out loud.

“Comrade Wei, why are you so nervous?”

Wei Jianguo stood still and said seriously, “We’re getting married, so you don’t have to call me Comrade Wei.” He had always felt uncomfortable with this title, and today he finally got Song Shuxi to change his words.

“Then what should I call you? I see they all call you Mr., my Mr..” This is what Song Shuxi saw in the original owner’s memory.

Wei Jianguo only felt that his heart was pounding at that moment, “my Mr.,” it sounded good.

“Call me Jianguo, I’ll call you Xixi.”

“Okay.”

Sitting on the back seat of Wei Jianguo’s bicycle, Song Shuqian was nervous for no reason. It was the first time in her two lives that she got married, and she married someone she was satisfied with. She was full of expectations for the future.

There was no conversation along the way.

The marriage registration office at that time was very simple, a small room with three staff members, and the person in charge of divorce and marriage was the same person.

In front of them was a couple who were getting divorced, and the couple was very calm.

If she hadn’t seen the divorce certificates in their hands, she would have thought that they were also here to get married.

After completing the formalities, the two even shook hands and wished each other a happy life in the future.

Song Shuqian was a little confused at this moment. In the Dayong Dynasty, whoever divorced was really unable to live, and the whole family of her natal family and husband’s family had a big fight. At this moment, she felt that this era was good, and divorce was so good, and no one pointed fingers and watched the excitement.

Later, when she saw all kinds of strange things in the compound, she realized how simple she was now and how special the couple was.

When it was their turn, the two handed in the materials. The clerk was a big brother, looking at Wei Jianguo in amazement, probably wondering how he cheated such a beautiful girl.

Holding the marriage certificate, Wei Jianguo was so excited that he was speechless.

Song Shuqian had adapted to the life here and no longer felt the restraint she had when she first came here. She took out the prepared wedding candies and gave 3 to each clerk, “Thank you for your hard work, have some wedding candies to share in the joy.”

Walking out of the office, Song Shuqian turned around and looked at the words “Marriage Registration Authority” next to the door. She was married. From this moment on, she was Wei Jianguo’s wife, and if nothing unexpected happened, the two would be together until old age.

Wei Jianguo carefully took out a collection of great men from his bag and put the marriage certificate in it, fearing that he would accidentally break it.

Seeing his caring look, Song Shuqian felt a little sweet in her heart.

“Wife, shall we go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, or go home to eat with grandpa?”

Wei Jianguo had heard the word “wife” in his throat countless times, and this time he finally called it out loud.

Song Shuqian’s face turned pale with shame, and she didn’t dare to look up.

Finally, it was Song Shuxi who came to her senses. “Go back and accompany Grandpa. How many days will you rest this time?”

“Seven days, but my wife needs two days to go back and forth, so I can only accompany you for five days.” At this point, Wei Jianguo felt very sorry for his wife. Grandpa was in poor health, so his wife had to run around alone, and he couldn’t help at all.

“It only takes one day to go to Huludao. I remember it took a long time before.” Song Shuxi saw it in her memory, and it seemed to take more than two days, but her memory was vague, so she was not sure.

“The newly built Yangtze River Bridge here will be opened to traffic this year. There is no need to transfer to the ferry, so it saves time.”

Song Shuxi admired people at that time. She accompanied her grandfather to see the bridge, which was simply too shocking. Building a bridge on such a long river, with cars running on it and trains running below, the total length is six kilometers, and it was built independently by our country.

Speaking of this bridge, the Song family also contributed to it. Grandma donated several factories of the Song family directly and required each factory to allocate funds to build the bridge. The original owner also came to visit at that time.

Song Shuxi still had the donation receipt from her grandmother, and her name was written on it. Even grandpa didn’t know about this. Grandma said that this was a guarantee for her, and she hoped that she wouldn’t need it in the future.

Song Shuxi didn’t plan to talk about this. She would decide about the future in the future.

The two went home and shared the good news with grandpa.

Grandpa looked at the marriage certificate in his hand and kept saying “yes, you two should be well in the future, all well”.

Wei Jianguo saluted grandpa, “Grandpa, don’t worry, I will treat Shuxi well”.

This is a promise made by a soldier, and they all know the meaning.

Song Shuxi looked at this man and felt that the future was promising.

Grandpa had someone prepare a table of delicious dishes for the family to gather, including salted duck, crab soup dumplings, pressed duck, assorted tofu pancakes, grilled shrimp, braised pork, squirrel mandarin fish, almond millet porridge, and special dishes that Uncle Wang was specially asked to pack.

The taste was based on the taste of Wei Jianguo when he ate at home these few times, mainly meat dishes.

Song Shuxi looked at her grandfather at the table, her eyes slightly wet. During this period, the old man relied on the spiritual liquid to support his breath and wanted to decide before he left. Now that his granddaughter has been settled, the couple has a good relationship, and the future days of his granddaughter are also guaranteed.

This grandson-in-law is a rare honest man, and his military merits are all fought on the battlefield. As long as the two of them can safely get through this hurdle, the future will be smooth.

Looking at the grandfather who had eaten another big piece of fat meat, Song Shuqian couldn’t help it, “Grandpa, the doctor doesn’t let you eat such greasy things. Otherwise, I’ll make you a steamed egg and put some sea cucumber in it.”

“I’ve eaten light food for so many days. Grandpa is happy today and wants to eat something that suits his heart.”

The old man was stubborn, and no matter how they persuaded him, it was useless.

After dinner, Song Shuqian was worried, so she pulled Wei Jianguo to stay in the living room, in case grandpa called for someone, they could go there as soon as possible.

“Uncle Wang, how is grandpa?”

“The old man just went to bed, I’ll watch over him at night, you can go back and rest without worry”, looking closely, Uncle Wang’s eyes where a little red. Uncle Wang is an old man in the family. He was rescued by Grandpa and has always been loyal to Grandpa.

Song Shuqian tried to persuade him to go back, but he refused. So, she said, “I can’t sleep either. Let’s stay here together. If Grandpa gets up and calls for help, we can hear him.”

The three of them sat quietly on the sofa, and no one spoke.

Uncle Wang and Wei Jianguo went in to check on the old man several times. He was sleeping well, so he should be fine.
