Chapter 15

“Yes, that’s it, that’s the effect I want!”

The photographer was satisfied and pressed the shutter, the light flashed slightly, capturing the moment when they both smiled.

Lu Huaijing finally breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Wan had already gotten up and walked to the photographer.

“Comrade, how long will it take to get the photos?”

“Come back in three days to pick them up.”

The photographer didn’t look up, he was busy fiddling with the camera, Lu Huaijing became anxious.

“Comrade, we’re going back to the army the day after tomorrow, we’re going to get our marriage certificate later, can you rush it?”

“Rush it is ten yuan.”

The photographer wasn’t surprised by their reaction, Lu Huaijing was obviously a soldier.

Hearing this, Lu Huaijing smiled, “Okay, thank you, comrade, I’ll come back later to get it.”

He took out ten yuan and put it on the counter, after they agreed with the photographer, they got up and went to the marriage registration office nearby.

The photographer in the photo studio couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched their matching figures.

Getting a marriage certificate was very simple in this era, not many people came, many people in the countryside believed that having a wedding banquet was getting married.

Many people didn’t come to get a marriage certificate.

So after ten minutes, Tang Wan was holding her brand new marriage certificate, the marriage certificate was like a certificate of merit.

“Comrade, have some wedding candy to sweeten your mouth.”

She gave each of the female comrades in charge of registration two wedding candies, which made the comrade praise her repeatedly.

“Thank you, you two are a perfect match, you’re definitely the most perfect revolutionary couple.”

“I wish you a big, fat baby boy soon!”

“…”

Lu Huaijing’s wheat-colored face turned a shade of pink from the compliments.

Tang Wan put the marriage certificate in her pocket, “Comrade Lu Huaijing, I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“Likewise.”

The corners of Lu Huaijing’s lips curved slightly, they left the marriage registration office, Lu Huaijing pointed to the post office not far away, saying:

“I’ll go make a phone call.”

He had to urge his leader, he had already gotten his wife, the family housing couldn’t fall through.

“Okay.”

Tang Wan thought of the stamps that were auctioned off in the future, her eyes lit up.

Why not buy some stamps to collect early?

Thinking about this, Tang Wan quickened her pace, while Lu Huaijing was making the phone call, Tang Wan excitedly said to the post office staff:

“I want five sets of stamps.”

Actually, Tang Wan didn’t know which set was the most popular in the future, so she might as well buy a few sets.

Even if they didn’t appreciate in value, it was good to keep them as souvenirs.

“Are you sure, comrade?”

The operator looked at Tang Wan in shock, her husband spent a lot of money on a phone call, and she directly wanted five sets of stamps, she was so generous!

“Yes.”

Tang Wan was very sure, she would buy a set whenever she had the chance, she wouldn’t have to come here to buy stamps often.

“Okay, comrade, that’s four yuan.”

The operator thought to herself, what a spendthrift, a stamp was four cents, five sets had one hundred stamps, that was four yuan.

Four yuan could buy a lot of grain!

After all, rice was thirteen cents a pound!

“Thank you.”

Tang Wan didn’t care about the strange looks from others, she happily put the stamps in her cloth bag and also bought some envelopes.

Lu Huaijing had just finished his call, afraid that he would think too much, Tang Wan explained.

“I want to write a letter to my parents.”

“They should have arrived.”

Lu Huaijing didn’t want to say where Tang Shi and his wife were sent, he just lowered his voice and said to Tang Wan:

“Don’t worry, I’ve asked my comrades to take good care of them.”

“Will it affect you?”

Although Tang Wan was worried about her family, she was still sensible, “If it affects you, then don’t worry about it for now.

When we get there, I’ll find a way myself.”

“Tang Wan!”

Lu Huaijing suddenly put on a stern face, afraid of being heard, he pulled Tang Wan to the side.

“Don’t you see me as your man at all?”

“What.”

Tang Wan was a little confused, she looked up and met Lu Huaijing’s sad eyes, he said:

“You’re my wife now, your parents are my parents, it’s only right for me to find someone to take care of them.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Tang Wan realized that he had misunderstood, she quickly explained, “Our family relies on you now, we can’t affect you openly.

If you want to help, do it secretly, don’t let people catch you with a handle.

What would happen to Zhouzhou and me if you got into trouble?”

She softened her voice and coaxed him, she really didn’t want to live in a cowshed with Zhouzhou.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Lu Huaijing met her clear eyes, his heart softened, “It’s noon, let’s go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something.”

“Okay.”

Tang Wan didn’t refuse, they were both in a good mood, they hadn’t walked a few steps when a figure suddenly rushed in front of them.

“Huaijing Ge.”

The voice, pinched and high-pitched, made Tang Wan’s scalp tingle, she looked up and saw a girl with a braided bun and a dark face.

“Hong Ying, what’s the matter?”

Lu Huaijing couldn’t help but frown, this Lu Hong Ying was the daughter of the head of the Lu brigade, although they both had the surname Lu, they weren’t related.

Lu Hong Ying mustered her courage, “Huaijing Ge, I want to talk to you alone.”

“Then I’ll wait for you over there?”

Perhaps because Tang Wan was a time traveler, she was very open-minded, which made Lu Huaijing a little angry.

She was his wife!

“No, say whatever you want, my wife isn’t an outsider.”

Lu Huaijing’s direct words made Lu Hong Ying feel a little sad, her eyes immediately turned red.

“Huaijing Ge, she’s not good enough for you.”

She pointed at Tang Wan, speaking righteously, Tang Wan, who was innocently implicated, suddenly understood.

Good heavens, it turned out to be Lu Huaijing’s unrequited love!

“I’m not good enough for him, are you good enough?”

Tang Wan had never been someone to be bullied, her slightly raised voice made Lu Hong Ying panic.

Then she subconsciously explained to Lu Huaijing, “Huaijing Ge, we’re all country people.

She’s a delicate city girl, she can’t carry or lift anything, she definitely won’t take care of you if you go to the army with you.”

“Lu Hong Ying!”

Lu Huaijing’s forehead throbbed, “Tang Wan Comrade and I got our marriage certificate, we’re revolutionary partners who share the same ideals.”

“Did you hear that?”

Tang Wan stepped forward and took Lu Huaijing’s arm, she didn’t notice that he stiffened slightly.

“Our Lao Lu isn’t someone who cherishes the delicate and beautiful, if you’re not afraid of embarrassment, then continue.”

“Marriage… certificate?”

Lu Hong Ying looked at Lu Huaijing in despair, as if she were looking at a heartless man.

“I… I’ve been waiting for you for so many years, I’ve become an old maid, how can you get a marriage certificate with someone else!”

“Did he promise to date you?”

As soon as Tang Wan’s words came out, Lu Huaijing quickly explained, “Wife, I never promised her anything.

I didn’t even know she wanted to marry me, who knew she was waiting for me.”

“If you don’t like me, why did you save me?”

Lu Hong Ying burst into tears, “You have to be responsible to me…”

“I’m a soldier, I would save anyone who was being bullied.”

Lu Huaijing finally remembered, three years ago when he went home to visit his family, he saved a person who was being bullied by street thugs.

It turned out to be Lu Hong Ying.

Lu Huaijing’s straightforward words made Lu Hong Ying’s tears fall like pearls, attracting many aunties who were watching the show.

Tang Wan said helplessly, “Comrade Lu Hong Ying, do you know that it’s illegal to break up a military marriage?”
