Chapter 9

Because of the urging of Lu Yunzheng and Wen Chuan, and the constant monitoring of the old team leader, it took a total of five days to finally get the marriage application approved.

On the day the marriage application was approved, he went to Lin Tingwan’s home with marriage documents and a bunch of gifts.

The two of them got their marriage certificate in a hurry. When they returned home, Lin’s father and mother looked at the marriage certificate and felt relieved at last.

Song Zhihua’s eyes were red in an instant. She looked at Lu Yunzheng and said with a choked voice, “Xiao Lu, I only have this one daughter. I have cherished her since she was a child and never let her suffer any grievances. I just hope you can do what you say and don’t let my daughter suffer any grievances. Treat her well.”

Lin Bokang looked at the marriage certificate in front of him and realized that his daughter was married. His throat choked for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng looked at Lin Tingwan, whose eyes were red, and then turned to look at Lin’s father and mother.

He stood straight, feet together, toes pointed forward, and saluted with the five fingers of his right hand together, and assured loudly: “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, it’s the duty of a soldier to obey orders. I, Lu Yunzheng, will take Lin Tingwan as my responsibility. I will live a good life with her in the future and will never let you two down!”

Lu Yunzheng’s sudden change of words made the three people present slightly stunned.

However, it was Lu Yunzheng’s sincerity that made Lin Bokang laugh out loud. He blinked away his tears, patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder and said, “Okay, okay, I’m relieved now.”

Lu Yunzheng withdrew his hand, looked at Lin Tingwan, and said softly: “Now that we have obtained the marriage certificate, all that is left is the wedding. You see…”

Before Lu Yunzheng finished speaking, Lin Tingwan met his gaze and whispered, “Those rituals are not necessary.”

Lu Yunzheng has no parents, and her parents are about to be demoted, so there is no need to hold a grand wedding at this time. Besides, no one has the energy for it, so they simply don’t hold it.

Lin’s father and mother also agreed to this matter and decided to have a meal together as a family.

However, Lu Yunzheng felt that this would be unfair to Lin Tingwan. He thought that even if those ceremonies were not held, Lin Tingwan would definitely not be missing out on the necessary things. When he bought all the things for Lin Tingwan in the next few days, he would definitely not treat her unfairly.

As we were talking, it was already noon.

Lin Tingwan has been cooking the meals these past few days, just because she wants her parents to stay in good health, so she is still the one who cooked for lunch today.

Normally, Song Zhihua would go and help out, but now that Lu Yunzheng was around, in order for the two of them to get closer, he gave this opportunity to Lu Yunzheng.

The already small kitchen immediately seemed even more cramped because of the arrival of the tall and strong Lu Yunzheng, as if the two of them would bump into each other if they turned around.

While Lu Yunzheng was washing vegetables, his eyes would occasionally fall on Lin Tingwan.

Because she was going to cook, Lin Tingwan tied her hair up, making her look much gentler. Lu Yunzheng seemed to be unable to see enough of her and his eyes were almost glued to Lin Tingwan.

Just as Lin Tingwan turned around, their eyes met. They saw that the roots of Lu Yunzheng’s ears were turning red all the way down to his neck. This was particularly obvious because Lu Yunzheng’s skin was relatively fair.

Lin Tingwan smiled and said, “Go outside and get the meat and ribs you bought. I’ll make you a specialty dish!”

“Okay, I’ll go right away.” After saying that, Lu Yunzheng turned around and walked out without saying anything else.

He was so anxious that he could hardly move his feet. He almost made a fool of himself. How could he look like a regiment leader? If his soldiers saw him, who knows how they would laugh at him!

However, Lin Tingwan thought that his innocent look was very cute, which led to Lin Tingwan taking teasing Lu Yunzheng as a special interest in the future.

This episode did not affect Lin Tingwan’s cooking speed. Soon, eight dishes and a soup were brought into the house one by one.

Sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, braised eggplant, braised fish, stir-fried beans, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and winter melon meatball soup.

This is because the ingredients limit her. Some dishes cannot be brought out to her full potential. Otherwise, let alone the eight dishes and one soup, even if there were another table, she would not order the same dishes twice.

After all, in her previous life, apart from making money, her only hobby was tasting delicious food.

Lin’s father and mother have gotten used to it these days, but Lu Yunzheng has never eaten such delicious food.

Every time I take a bite, I want to swallow my tongue.

Normally, he has a strong taste and loves spicy food. But today, after eating the spicy chicken and mapo tofu made by Lin Tingwan, he felt that all the meals he had eaten in the cafeteria before were wasted.

The diced chicken in the spicy chicken is fried until it is soft and crispy, cooked to the right degree, spicy and delicious, leaving you with an endless aftertaste. After taking one bite, you will want to have a second bite.

The crispy outer layer of Mapo Tofu just wraps up the tender tofu inside, and the sauce wraps it up completely. It’s spicy and satisfying when you take a bite, and it’s perfect when eaten with rice.

In the past, he did not like sweet ribs, but the ribs made by Lin Tingwan were not only boneless when bitten, but the sweet and sour sauce on the outside was also just right. It did not feel greasy and really whetted his taste buds.

Not to mention other dishes. From the moment he picked up the chopsticks, Lu Yunzheng didn’t say a word. He just focused on eating, one bowl after another.

Lin’s father and mother couldn’t help but be amazed at the amazing appetite.

Fortunately, Lu Yunzheng earned a lot and had a lot of tickets, otherwise, he would have a hard time supporting himself.

When the family was enjoying their meal, there was a knock on the door.

Lin’s father and mother looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat, thinking that it must be those Red Guards who had arrived.

Before anyone could get up and open the door, the door was broken down by people outside, and a group of people poured into the house.

The leader was a man who was not very tall. He wore a red armband and looked to be less than 30 years old. However, he had a big belly and it was obvious that he ate well on a daily basis.

This behavior instantly alarmed the surrounding neighbors. After all, wherever the Red Guards appeared, someone would suffer. But no one thought that this time it would be the Lin family that would suffer.

When the group rushed into the house, they saw four people sitting at the dining table without changing their expressions. They complained with sinister eyes, “You are enjoying your meal? We received a report that you have serious capitalist practices. I don’t think there is any need to search. Have you been caught in the act?”

Hearing this, Lin’s father and mother frowned. It was obvious that he was reported because of his work.

I didn’t expect that these people would label him a capitalist for no reason. If this label was put on him, even if nothing was found during the search, he would probably be convicted.
