Because military personnel have to file a report when getting married, the two have not yet obtained a marriage certificate.

Even though they didn't get along well with each other, they all chipped in some money to give gifts to the secretary's family at their wedding.

It’s called a wedding banquet, but everyone has a sullen face, including the groom today.

Wu Jianguo stared at Ningxia. He wanted to see regret in her eyes. She looked down on him, but there were many people who wanted to marry him.

But no, she didn't even look at him, only at Wu Jiajia. One could even see pity for Wu Jiajia in her eyes. What was she regretting? Was she sorry that Wu Jiajia had married him?

Is he that bad? He will make her regret it. She will know what a great person she missed.

Thinking of this, he embraced the blushing Wu Jiajia and said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to my wedding with Jiajia. I promise Jiajia that I will love her forever!"

The whole person was in high spirits, but what he said made Wu Jiajia, who was already blushing, even more at a loss. She was so touched that she had found the right person. Brother Jianguo loved her terribly.

After the wedding banquet, everyone was still discussing it while walking on the street.

"Wu Jianguo is so nice to Jiajia. He gave her 50 yuan as a betrothal gift and even said he would buy her a watch in the future!"

He Jiahui was really happy for her. They were from the same batch of educated youth. Now Jiajia had a good home, and she sincerely wished her well.

Ningxia listened quietly. Was he happy? She didn't think so. She just thought Wu Jianguo was mentally unstable!

Wu Jiajia's departure did not cause much of a stir at the educated youth center. Apart from He Jiahui's occasional mentions of her, everyone else gradually forgot about her.

When Wu Jianguo returned to the army, everyone saw Wu Jiajia following Aunt Wu. She was now earning 8 work points instead of 6.

Everyone was confused. Is this the happiness that Wu Jianguo talked about?

These two days, Ren Jingxiao has been busy making furniture. He heard that thirty-six legs are popular for weddings in the city. He doesn't know what these legs are exactly, but he wants to make one of every piece of furniture he can think of.

The furniture nowadays is not sold in the market, but is made by carpenters. There are carpenters in the Black Mountain Brigade, but their brigade is different from other places.

Although they have mountains and there are abundant wood on the mountains, they dare not go in. So the carpenters use wild bamboo from the mountains at home. Although it is not as durable as wood, it can at least be used to make furniture.

Wood was a small matter for Ren Jingxiao, but he didn't know what kind of wood he needed, and the village carpenter, Uncle Li, was unwilling to go up the mountain with him.

"Captain, I want to take everyone up the mountain to chop wood. Everyone in the village is getting married, right? Weddings require wood, so this is a good thing."

Ren Jingxiao rarely spoke so much to the team leader. He told him everything Xia Xia had taught him. In fact, he was thinking that if it really didn't work, he would just knock Uncle Li unconscious and take him directly to the mountain.

But Xia Xia scolded him and told him to find the team leader. Xia Xia was definitely right, so he obeyed.

"On the mountain? Tiewazi, how confident are you?" The captain smoked the pipe in his hand and considered many aspects in his mind.

If we could really go up the mountain and chop some wood, we wouldn't have to worry about weddings in the village anymore. But the prerequisite is that everyone comes back.

"What do you want to grasp? Just follow me and don't run around."

If Ren Jingxiao dares to take them there, he can bring them back safely.

I don’t know how the team leader did ideological work for everyone, but he found a dozen strong young men in the team and followed Ren Jingxiao into the mountains.

Ningxia was not like everyone else standing nervously at the mountain pass. Ren Jingxiao could come and go freely even in unfamiliar mountains, let alone the Big Black Mountain that he was very familiar with.

What she is more worried about now is that Wang Yingying and Chen Yaoyao are getting together. If these two are together, it means trouble is going to happen.

Thinking about Chen Yaoyao's silence during this period, she was like an invisible person at the educated youth center.

Even if everyone despised her, she just endured it. Even if she hated the aunt who came to take care of her, she always greeted her with a smile.

This injury had just healed, and not only was she actively working, but she also acted like she was working for everyone, yet everyone was betraying her. This earned her the sympathy of many of the women, who all felt that Chen Zhiqing had had a hard time and that others had misunderstood her.

Ningxia is now covered in cold sweat. The plot in the book becomes more and more chaotic as Wu Jianguo gets married.

No, it should be said that with the arrival of her cannon fodder, things became increasingly abnormal. At least the book didn't mention the bandits, nor did it mention Chen Yaoyao getting injured.

"Ning Zhiqing, don't worry. Comrade Ren is so capable, just put your mind at ease!" Cai Xiaoya couldn't help but comfort her when she saw her worried face.

"Yeah, I know." Ning Xia saw that she had misunderstood, but didn't explain. Yes! She still had Ren Jingxiao, and no matter what, he would be with her.

At this moment in the mountains, the villagers wanted to follow Ren Jingxiao closely, but were also afraid of the tiger beside him.

He took one step at a time, his whole body tense, not daring to breathe, for fear that something would emerge from the bushes if he wasn't paying attention.

"Uncle Li, what do you think of this tree?" Ren Jingxiao pulled the carpenter in the crowd over. He had been walking for a long time, so why didn't this man say anything?

"Okay, okay, fine!" Old Li was already old, and he had done something wrong. It wasn't him who was getting married, and he had to risk his life to choose furniture for him.

"Then this is the one! Cannon, go and guard it." Ren Jingxiao was also very satisfied. His vision was indeed good. This tree looked strong at first glance.

Several people surrounded the tree, chopping it with sickles, one by one.

"Get out of the way!" Ren Jingxiao watched them chop the tree like they were playing, not even breaking a single bark. How long would it take to chop? He still had furniture to make!

Ren Jingxiao took the sickle, gripped it tightly, and chopped it down with great force, breaking through the thick protective covering of the tree.

"Da Pao, come here!" Da Pao heard Ren Jingxiao calling him and rushed over with a whoosh. The people who were originally gathered around the tree suddenly dispersed.

"Go, pull hard." Ren Jingxiao used a hemp rope to surround the tree, leaving one end for Dapao to bite with his mouth.

He was chopping wood here, while the cannon was pulled over there. Everyone on the side stared with wide eyes. They had seen tigers bite people, but they had never seen a tiger chopping wood.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there were especially many. A short while later, with a loud boom, the towering tree fell down.

"Iron Boy, what are you going to do with this tree?" Old Li looked at the tree excitedly. This was a rare and good wood. He hadn't seen decent wood in many years.

"I don't know, Uncle Li, just do it as you see fit. I want the one with more legs!"

What do you mean by "many legs"? Old Li thought for a long time before he realized that he meant thirty-six legs, which is enough for this tree!

"So, are we just going to cut down this one tree?" There wouldn't be much left after that, and wasn't there a saying that more is better? But he didn't dare say it.

"Let's cut down a few more trees." Ren Jingxiao was afraid that it wouldn't be enough. He seemed to have promised the team leader to bring more, and he still owed the team a beam.

Old Li was delighted. He looked around and selected a few trees. Without asking anyone else, he let Jingxiao and Dapao work together to cut down all the trees.

What else do you think they are doing here? To give yourself courage?

Finally, they pulled the tree back to the village. They knew they were porters. The mountain was peaceful, very different from what they had imagined, and many people became bolder.
