Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Xu Huaian woke up before four o'clock the next morning. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep when he thought about getting his marriage certificate with Shi Qingqian today.

He simply got up and changed into his military uniform.

Xu Huaian was wandering back and forth at the door of his second uncle Xu Wu's room, and the light footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet morning.

In the room, Uncle Xu Wu and Aunt Zhang Xiu were so disturbed by the noise that they couldn't sleep at all.

Zhang Xiu tossed and turned, and suddenly kicked his second uncle Xu Wu off the bed with a kick.

Xu Wu sat on the ground in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Zhang Xiu with a confused face.

Zhang Xiu said angrily, "Go see who's hanging around outside. Can't we sleep?"

Xu Wu got up helplessly, walked to the door in his Liberation shoes, and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Xu Huaian in military uniform, his face full of excitement.

Xu Wu was startled and half awakened in an instant: "Huaian, why are you hanging around here so early in the morning?"

Xu Huaian scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Second Uncle, Qing Qian and I are going to get our marriage certificate today. Please give me a certificate."

"..."

Xu Wu said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me when you came here yesterday?"

Why did he have to come and bother me so early in the morning? Xu Wu rubbed his tailbone that was kicked with his hand behind his back.

Xu Huaian scratched his head embarrassedly: "I was so happy yesterday that I forgot about it."

Xu Wu looked at Xu Huaian's anxious expression and felt happy for his nephew. "You wait here for a while. I'll go get you some paper and pen to write the certificate."

Xu Huaian stood obediently at the door, his eyes sparkling and full of anticipation.

Inside the room, Zhang Xiu heard their conversation and lost her sleepiness: "Huai An is really something. How could he forget such a big thing?"

Xu Wu smiled and said, "It's normal for the child to be happy. After all, he's going to get married to Qing Qian. Although that girl is a little spoiled, she's pretty and has a good personality. As long as nothing goes wrong, they'll have a good life together."

Seeing him rummaging around, Zhang Xiu sat up, straightened his messy hair, and took out a pen and paper from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Wu: "Here."

Xu Wu took the paper and pen, smiled and said to Zhang Xiu, "You are really careful."

Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and get Huai'an a certificate, and tell him to stop hanging around outside."

Xu Wu nodded, sat down at the table, wrote the certificate, and stamped it with the village seal.

After getting the certificate, Xu Huaian hurried home. When he arrived, Shi Qingqian was already waiting for him.

Knowing that they were going to get their marriage certificate this morning, second sister-in-law Zhang Youdi got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for them.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law," Shi Qingqian thanked.

Zhang Youdi smiled sheepishly: "It's just a small matter, nothing."

After dinner, Xu Huaian rode his bicycle, the bell ringing, and happily drove towards the town with Shi Qingqian.

Xu Huaian pedaled the bicycle hard, his mood as cheerful and crisp as the bicycle bell.

When Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian arrived at the town's wedding office, their heartbeats involuntarily quickened.

In the office, several wooden desks are neatly arranged and the staff are busy at work.

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian came to the wedding team and lined up.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally their turn.

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian walked to the table and handed over various certificates. When the staff saw Xu Huaian standing tall in his military uniform, their attitude immediately straightened up.

Finally, after checking that the materials were complete, the staff took out two pieces of paper that looked like certificates from the cabinet and wrote their names on them.

The marriage certificates from the 1970s were similar to elementary school students’ certificates, the paper texture was even rougher, but they carried an extremely heavy meaning.

The staff solemnly handed them the marriage certificate and said, "Congratulations, from now on you are a legal couple."

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian excitedly took the marriage certificate and looked at every word on it carefully. Their names were written side by side, declaring that they would spend their lives together from now on.

"Thank you, comrade," Xu Huaian took out the prepared wedding candy and gave a handful to each staff member.

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian held their marriage certificate tightly and walked out of the marriage office happily.

Shi Qingqian's attention was suddenly attracted by the photo studio opposite. How could there be a wedding without photos?

She gently pulled the corner of Xu Huaian's clothes, pointed to the photo studio and said, "Huaian, let's go take a picture. Today is the day we get our marriage certificate. Let's take a picture as a souvenir."

Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian's expectant eyes and nodded without hesitation.

They crossed the street hand in hand and arrived at the door of the photo studio.

Although the sign of the photo studio is a bit old, it exudes a charm of time.

They pushed open the door and were greeted by a stale atmosphere. The layout of the photo studio was also very simple, with a few background cloths, an old-fashioned camera, and a leisurely uncle sitting in a rocking chair.

Taking photos at this time was not as convenient as it would be decades later, and it was also very expensive.

Not many people are willing to spend money just to take a picture of a piece of paper.

The uncle saw them come in and greeted them enthusiastically: "Are you two here to take pictures?"

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian smiled and nodded.

The uncle then said, "What kind of photos do you want to take?"

"Let's just take a group photo," Shi Qingqian said.

"No problem," the uncle nodded. "It's 2 cents to take a photo, and 5 yuan for a 1-inch print, 2 cents for a 5-inch print, and 1 cents for a 3-inch print. You can pick up the photos in a week."

Shi Qingqian thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, what's the largest size of your photo?"

"The largest size we can wash is 10 inches, but it's quite expensive, 3 yuan per sheet."

"Then one 10 inches and one 2 inches."

The uncle smiled and said, "Okay, then come and sit over here."

The two of them came and sat on the bench. Xu Huaian was wearing a military uniform, with an upright posture and handsome appearance. Shi Qingqian was wearing a white dress, beautiful, gentle and graceful.

Looking at the two people in the camera, the uncle couldn't help but exclaim: "What a match made in heaven."

The uncle adjusted the camera and said, "Ready? One, two, three!"

"Click!" With the pressing of the shutter, their moment was frozen in this photo.
