"Aren't you kidding me?" Liao Shanhe became anxious upon hearing this. "If everyone agrees to go, Comrade Zhang Hehua will be all alone at home."

"Your marriage application was only approved now, but I approved the list of applicants to go to the front line a long time ago. Are you blaming me?" Song Changzheng became anxious upon hearing this. How could he be blamed?

Liao Shanhe also said angrily, "What can I do but not agree to their marriage?"

"That's your business. Getting married is their freedom. If you don't agree, that's your problem! Maybe the two of them had already discussed going there before agreeing to get married as soon as possible to avoid any regrets." Song Changzheng rolled his eyes at Liao Shanhe, then glared at him defiantly before leaving.

Liao Shanhe looked down at the marriage application form, where the words "agree" were clearly written.

He shook his head helplessly.

This is their will, there's nothing we can do about it.

Thinking about Li Qingming, he's actually quite lucky.

Luo Miaomiao used to be quite pretty, and Ye Feifei, although she had ulterior motives, was also quite good-looking. As for Xia Xiaoli, she was so beautiful that all the boys in the army wanted to marry her.

Li Qingming was both unlucky and lucky; the people surrounding him were all very beautiful.

Liao Shanhe suddenly missed his wife.

He has been separated from his wife for many years, and they only see each other a pitifully few times a year.

Sometimes Liao Shanhe felt that his wife didn't love him, but his wife was an independent individual, so it was her freedom to choose where she wanted to work. Over the years, they could only communicate through letters.

In the afternoon, Li Qingming went to the clinic to pick up the person.

Zhang Hehua originally wanted to go along, but Li Qingming said he could go instead, not wanting to embarrass Xia Xiaoli.

Standing at the entrance of the clinic, Xia Xiaoli reluctantly came out, glanced at Li Qingming, and then lowered her head shyly.

"Um... the marriage application has been approved," Li Qingming said to Xia Xiaoli.

"So fast?" Xia Xiaoli couldn't believe it could be so fast.

Even disregarding marriage to a soldier, the application process takes at least a week.

"Your background was thoroughly investigated when your file was transferred to the clinic. This morning, the supervisor called the local authorities to check on the situation and then approved it."

Li Qingming was unwilling to admit that he was like Xu Qianli, urging his superiors to agree and waiting by their side as early as eight o'clock in the morning.

After hearing this explanation, Xia Xiaoli nodded silently, then looked up and asked, "Didn't Auntie say she was going together?"

"We're going to get married, so my mom won't be going. She can't get time off." Li Qingming lied without thinking. He wanted his mother to stay home so that Xia Xiaoli wouldn't refuse to register their marriage if they talked too much.

"I... I didn't bring my ID or letter of introduction. I don't even know if the letter of introduction I had before will still be valid?" Xia Xiaoli was actually a little hesitant.

Li Qingming said, "The referral letter for this clinic needs to be issued by the brigade in front. I've already prepared it for you. You were busy taking the patient's blood pressure just now, so I got a certificate from the doctor to get the referral letter from the brigade. I got your documents from Sister Shulan. Everything is ready. We just need to wait to go to the city to register."

Xia Xiaoli was speechless. She had prepared everything and had no choice but to go.

Xia Xiaoli closed her eyes and strode ahead.

Li Qingming walked behind, watching Xia Xiaoli walk with her head down, keeping a close eye on her.

They had already thought about what they would say when Xia Xiaoli refused them, and walked one after the other.

Xia Xiaoli was very nervous, because getting married meant she would no longer be alone.

Li Qingming was afraid that walking next to Xia Xiaoli would affect her mood.

As Xia Xiaoli walked towards the bus stop, she didn't notice that someone was coming towards her.

Li Qingming reached out and took Xia Xiaoli's hand.

“We’ve gone too far!” Li Qingming reminded him.

Xia Xiaoli instinctively wanted to struggle, but after hearing Li Qingming's reminder, she wasn't so scared anymore. However, she seemed to tremble slightly when her hand was held.

Li Qingming realized how awful she had been, and she must have reacted almost subconsciously.

"I'm sorry!" Li Qingming released Xia Xiaoli and apologized with remorse.

Xia Xiaoli glanced up at Li Qingming but said nothing.

Then they both lowered their heads and remained silent.

Waiting for the bus to appear at the bus stop.

When the car arrived and I got on to pay, the driver recognized Li Qingming. He was dressed very formally today, even in his military uniform, and there was a girl with him.

"Comrade, are you going to a wedding today?" Generally speaking, if you're wearing this kind of clothing when you go out, it means you're going to a wedding.

Li Qingming looked at the driver, smiled, glanced at Xia Xiaoli, and replied to the driver, "Yes, we're going to register our marriage today."

"Comrade, congratulations!" the driver said to Li Qingming.

Li Qingming said, "Thank you, Master."

After Li Qingming finished speaking, he sat down next to Xia Xiaoli. Xia Xiaoli looked at the fields outside. At this time of day, people were starting to cultivate the land. Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, many people would start working in the fields.

Li Qingming stared at Xia Xiaoli, who looked sullen.

Li Qingming knew that his actions had hurt Xia Xiaoli, and he secretly vowed to make it up to her.

After arriving in the city, Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli got off the bus and went to the registration office to register their marriage.

All the documents were handed to the staff, who glanced at them and quickly processed the marriage registration, affixing their seal.

"Congratulations to Comrade Li Qingming and Comrade Xia Xiaoli on becoming husband and wife." The staff member said this with a smile, holding up the marriage certificate.

The paper has their names on it, along with their workplace address stamped on it, and in the middle are three big characters: Marriage Certificate.

Li Qingming accepted the marriage certificate with both hands and thanked the staff.

"Thank you, comrade." Li Qingming looked at the marriage certificate. He wasn't really happy when he got married for the first time. The last time he was this happy was when he received his divorce certificate with Ye Feifei.

"This is the marriage handbook, and you can also take a few packs of family planning supplies home. You can still use this after washing it. If the key is broken, you can't use it anymore, just replace it with a new one."

When the staff member finished speaking as usual, Xia Xiaoli's face turned as red as a dyed red egg, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at anyone.

"What's wrong with that? You're married, there's nothing to be ashamed of. If you want to have children after you get married, you don't have to take it. If you're not considering having children yet, just take it back and use it. Don't take any birth control pills, taking too many of those isn't good for your health." The staff member was already used to Xia Xiaoli's shyness.

Looking at the family planning supplies, Li Qingming wasn't shy at all. He took several packs and the marriage manual, putting them directly into the bag.
