Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Chen Jun blushed with shame and was about to stand up and run away when Wu Yutong's clear voice came: "Thank you for your concern, comrade. I married him voluntarily."

As she spoke, she took a handful of wedding candies from her pocket, placed them on the table, and smiled slightly.

Upon seeing this, the staff nodded and smiled, then helped them obtain their marriage certificate.

As she handed over the marriage certificate, she smiled and said, "Congratulations on your mutual respect and love, and on your shared progress on the socialist path!"

Marriage certificates from the 60s looked like "award certificates," full of rich ethnic style: five-pointed stars, doves of peace, ears of rice, and cotton.

Both of them accepted the thin certificate with mixed feelings, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the service hall.

Once outside, Wu Yutong discovered that her mother was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Chen's mother standing there quietly waiting for them.

Chen's mother was carrying an exquisite wicker box, which looked somewhat old but exuded a rustic charm.

Chen Jun silently walked to his mother's side and gently placed the box on the back of the bicycle without saying a word.

Then he gripped the handlebars with both hands and slowly pushed the bike forward.

Seeing Wu Yutong hesitate, Chen's mother smiled and took Wu Yutong's hand, her eyes full of affection.

"Auntie, I..."

Chen's mother interrupted her, saying gently, "Xiaoyu, it's time to call me 'Mom' now! Mom knows you haven't graduated yet and have concerns, so our family will keep this a secret. Don't worry, even if we have a big celebration back in the countryside, no one here will know! When we come back after the New Year, Jun'er will try to find some connections at your school to get your diploma smoothly. Come on, come home with me."

Hearing this, Wu Yutong was dumbfounded. How could this be so different from what her parents had told her before?

However, when she saw that her suitcase had already been delivered there by her parents, she instantly understood everything.

Now that you've already received your marriage certificate, if you start making a scene now, you'll not only lose face, but your family might also be implicated.

Oh well, since we're already here, let's just make the best of it and see how things go for a while.

Besides, this mother-in-law seemed kind and approachable, not the kind of difficult, mean, and hard-to-get-along-with person...

Thinking of this, Wu Yutong silently cheered herself up, then nodded slightly, indicating her agreement to return to the countryside with the mother and son.

And so, the three embarked on their journey home. Along the way, no one said much more, except for the occasional creaking of the wheels and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Chen Jun listened intently to his mother and Yu Tong's conversation, and at first, he felt quite awkward.

However, when he saw Wu Yutong's well-behaved and adorable appearance, the tension in his heart finally eased a little.

Looking back, they recalled the few months they had spent together as colleagues in that small clinic.

At that time, Wu Yutong always followed him around, affectionately calling him "brother-in-law" again and again. Although this title was somewhat vain, it could not hide the innocence and straightforwardness unique to a young girl.

Who could have predicted that Wu Yutong would one day become his wife, with whom he would spend his life?

Faced with such a huge change, Chen Jun was at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Left with no other choice, he had to constantly adjust his own state according to Wu Yutong's every move and word.

Despite his seemingly resolute and upright appearance, which makes him appear indestructible, Chen Jun actually has an extremely soft and delicate heart.

Now that things have come to this, and the die is cast, he really doesn't want the days to be chaotic and disorganized like a chicken in a dog's nest.

At this moment, all he wanted was for Wu Yutong to stay by his side peacefully and live a stable and happy life together.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

The tense expression on his face gradually softened, and he even suddenly felt a faint sense of guilt.

He secretly pondered that he had a problem with his leg and was not a good match for her in terms of appearance, but it was rare that she did not mind. He should make it up to Wu Yutong.

After all, the responsibility for things getting to this point doesn't lie entirely with her...

Wu Yutong had no idea what Chen Jun was thinking. She was a person with a strong desire to conquer, and along the way she was secretly thinking about how to make Chen Jun obedient and subservient to her.

On my way to the long-distance bus station, I passed by the post office and saw Shi Huai'an park his bicycle by the roadside with a large bag on the back seat.

Afraid that Shi Huai'an would turn around and find her, Wu Yutong quickly got on the bus. She bent over slightly in the window seat, peeking out with only half her head showing. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Huai'an carrying the bag into the post office and sat up straight.

As the car started moving, Chen Jun took off his military overcoat and draped it over Wu Yutong. He then sat down silently beside her. Chen's mother sat in the back, giving her son and new daughter-in-law some space to be together.

She had a very good impression of Wu Yutong. When she visited her son at the health center before, Wu Yutong was very sweet-talking and always smiling and very enthusiastic. It's normal for her to be a little shy now that she's just gotten married.

Since learning that Wu Yuwei had run off with someone else and looked down on her son, Chen's mother was furious. But when she heard from Wu's father that the son had been replaced by the second child, Wu Yutong, she was actually happy. She liked girls who loved to laugh, and if she were to gain some weight, she would definitely be a good wife.

She even asked an old gentleman in the countryside to match their birth dates and horoscopes, who said it was a match made in heaven, which made her beam with joy.

Wu Yutong reached out and gently stroked the slightly worn military overcoat, a warm feeling slowly welling up in her heart.

The two sat in the car, the atmosphere was rather quiet, and they didn't exchange many words.

However, Chen Jun would often take out a bright yellow orange or a handful of red dates from the bag next to him and carefully hand them to Wu Yutong.

Not only that, he would carefully peel the orange, remove the white pith, and meticulously divide it into segments before handing it to her.

Each time, Wu Yutong would quietly say thank you, then accept the fruit, a gesture of care, and slowly savor it.

As the car swayed along, Wu Yutong gradually feigned sleepiness, squinting her eyes slightly. Before long, her small head rested unconsciously on Chen Jun's broad shoulder.

At that moment, Chen Jun felt his body instantly stiffen, as if he had been frozen in place.

But he quickly realized what was happening, straightened his back, and didn't dare to move, lest he accidentally disturb Wu Yutong, who was resting peacefully by his side.

Sometimes, when a car suddenly brakes hard, everyone inside the car will lean forward abruptly.

At these times, Chen Jun would quickly use one hand to block Wu Yutong's forehead to prevent her from accidentally bumping into it; at the same time, his other hand would naturally wrap around her delicate shoulder, tightly protecting her in his arms, determined not to let her fall and get hurt in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Yutong finally woke up from her sleep.

When she realized that she had been leaning on Chen Jun's shoulder the whole time, a shy blush instantly crept onto her fair cheeks, as beautiful and charming as a ripe apple.

At this moment, Chen Jun seemed completely unaware of all this, and casually pulled her general's coat up a little to cover her up more thoroughly.

His voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone was full of concern: "Make sure you don't get cold."

Wu Yutong leaned quietly against Chen Jun's chest without saying a word, but her slightly narrowed eyes and relaxed posture revealed an incredibly natural intimacy and dependence.

At this moment, the world around them seemed to quiet down, with only the sound of their breathing mingling together, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

Feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms, Chen Jun's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

He tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but his heart was in turmoil.

He's already twenty-nine and has never been with a woman; now that he has her in his arms, it's impossible for him not to be tempted.

That joy was like a clear, sweet spring, flowing continuously into his heart, filling him with boundless and beautiful hopes for the future.

Especially when I think about the sweet life after marriage, I can't help but feel a little excited.

His lips curled up in a smile, and his eyes sparkled with happiness.

Sitting in the back seat, Chen's mother saw all of this and was overjoyed.

Seeing her son and future daughter-in-law so affectionate, she seemed to already see herself holding her grandson, and her smile grew even brighter, her eyebrows even raising with joy.

Shi Huai'an was unaware of the dramatic changes that had occurred in just two days. She sent some daily necessities and food to her second brother, and also sent a letter to Gu Jingxing.

She knew the letter might be censored by the military, but she didn't care.

Then, he hurriedly made a phone call from the post office to Mr. Liu, who was spending the Spring Festival at his son's home in the provincial capital.

"Hello, this is Huai'an!"

Just then, Master Liu was home. He answered the phone and said, "Huai'an, I was just about to call someone to relay this message when you called. The matter you mentioned has been taken care of."

The old leader said that since your father is in poor health, you should go to the hospital to get a certificate, and then go to your workplace to apply for medical retirement. He made a phone call to his subordinate in front of me to inform your father's workplace that they would not make things difficult for him.

I also had Qingshu call Dean Yuan, a classmate at the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He's already prepared a hospital certificate for your father; you should go get it as soon as possible. However, it's best to go to your workplace to process it quickly, as the situation is complicated right now, and it'll be easier to get it done sooner rather than later.

"Thank you, Master. Please give my regards and thanks to the old commander. He really helped me a lot. It's great that this matter was resolved so quickly."

Yesterday, a group of people came to my house and tried to take my biological father away. They were stopped by Gu Jingxing's grandfather and others. We will go to our workplace tomorrow to complete the medical retirement procedures.

"Also, I've successfully cultivated ginseng in my compound in Beijing. Once I extract the ginseng essence, I'll send some to you and the old commander," Huai'an said gratefully.

"Okay, that's great. I'll thank you on behalf of the old chief." Master Liu asked about the situation in Beijing and his family, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Shi Huai'an didn't dare to delay. He immediately rode his bicycle to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, found Dean Yuan, obtained the hospital certificate, and then rushed to his biological father's house.

In his previous life, his biological father, Li Hanchen, was detained and held under guard during this special period. He was subjected to daily criticism and struggle sessions with placards hanging around his neck, and later sent to the countryside for reform through labor and forced to spend time in a cowshed.

He was rehabilitated in 1976 and became the vice chairman of the J Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference.

But fate is cruel; his good days didn't last long before he contracted cancer and passed away...

Shih Huai-an recalls all the experiences of his relatives and friends in his past life, and tries his best to reverse or prevent some bad things from happening again in this life.

As soon as she stepped through the slightly old door, she saw He Shuyi sitting on a low stool in the center of the main room, skillfully peeling beans, while Huaiyuan and Huaizhen were busy picking vegetables. The two were in a rare moment of harmony.

As soon as Huaiyuan saw Huai'an, he greeted her, "An'an is here."

After what happened on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Huai Zhen's attitude towards Huai An changed, and she smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll pour you some water."

Huai'an then closed the heavy door tightly.

With a muffled thud, the once brightly lit main room instantly dimmed.

Hearing the sound, He Shuyi looked up at Huai'an with a suspicious expression and asked, "Why did you close the door? It's broad daylight, and the room suddenly feels much darker!"

As she spoke, she stopped what she was doing.

Huai'an didn't answer his mother's question immediately. Instead, he walked straight to He Shuyi and asked in a low voice, "Mom, where's Dad?"

"Your dad is resting in the inner room. Sigh, his old back pain has flared up again. I told him to rest well for the next couple of days and try not to move around too much." He Shuyi sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Just then, Huai Zhen, who was carrying a teacup, couldn't help but mutter, "Why did you have to close the door? Now look what's happened, there's no light at all, and turning on the lights would just waste electricity!"

Huaiyuan slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on Huai'an, as if trying to discern something from her expression: "Yes, Huai'an, judging from your expression, is something wrong?"

Faced with her family's concerned inquiries, Huai'an took a deep breath, composed herself, and said, "Let's go inside and talk first." With that, she took the lead and walked into the inner room.

Seeing her serious expression, the four sensed something was wrong and immediately filed into the inner room together.

At this moment, Li Hanchen was leaning against the bed, holding a book in his hands, reading intently.

Upon seeing Huai'an and the others suddenly burst in, he was slightly taken aback, then put down his book and said with a smile, "Huai'an's here. My back has always been a problem, you don't need to make such a fuss..."
