Because of taking care of He Chaoyang, Chen Shuning missed the autumn harvest in his second year in the countryside.

By the time He Chaoyang was discharged from the hospital, the autumn harvest was already over.

The end of the autumn harvest means there's not much work left for the brigade, so people can take leave.

Just then, He Chaoyang's mother and grandmother had also discussed the wedding date with Chen Shuning's family and made all the necessary preparations. They were just waiting for the two of them to get leave so they could go back and hold the wedding.

Chen Shuning did not object to marrying He Chaoyang, but she had some concerns about married life.

First of all, she definitely didn't want to accompany the soldier. After all, military compounds are such places that even if there were many military wives, she would find it inconvenient, let alone the meticulous soldiers.

You should know that she is now the largest black market goods supplier in Heilongjiang Province.

These days, she goes to Hei Zi's shop every week to ship her goods. The watches, bed sheets, duvet covers, and other items she sells have formed a stable sales chain.

If they really move to the military compound with the troops, it will be inconvenient to go to the black market once a week.

However, Chen Shuning did not want to give up the opportunity to make money during this chaotic period, so he directly chose to give up the path of following the army.

However, He's mother's idea of ​​having He Chaoyang and Chen Shuning transferred back to Beijing was met with direct opposition from both of them.

Needless to say, He Chaoyang's situation in Beijing is currently unclear, so returning to Beijing at this time is definitely not the best option for him.

Therefore, for He Chaoyang's future, not only did He Chaoyang himself not want to go back, but even Grandpa He disagreed.

Chen Shuning's reason for not wanting to return to Beijing was even simpler: firstly, she didn't want to give up the established distribution channels there.

Secondly, she genuinely enjoys her current free life of earning money and farming, and she would rather not return to Beijing.

Given Chen Shuning's age and the He family's situation, Chen Shuning will definitely not stay at home after marriage; she will definitely have to go out to work. Moreover, Chen Shuning has long been tired of the backstabbing and scheming life at work.

In her previous life, Chen Shuning lived the life of a typical 9-to-5 working person, so in this life, all she wants to do is lie down and relax.

Therefore, Chen Shuning is absolutely not considering returning to Beijing to live at present.

So after much discussion, Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang decided to stay in Heilongjiang Province after their marriage.

The two of them can take leave to go back to their hometown for the wedding, but since their household registrations are currently in Heilongjiang Province, they can get their marriage certificate after He Chaoyang is discharged from the hospital.

After getting married, Chen Shuning did not go with the army, but continued to work in the Qingshan Brigade.

Anyway, He Chaoyang's current unit is not far from Qingshan Brigade, so He Chaoyang can come back here when he is on leave.

Chen Shuning's little house can be tidied up and accommodate the two of them. Anyway, it's only a temporary stay for a few years. After the national college entrance examination is reinstated, the situation in Beijing will stabilize, and it won't be too late for the two of them to return to Beijing then.

The He family has already prepared the new house for the two of them in Beijing.

It's the three-courtyard house that Grandma He gave him, which He Chaoyang once mentioned.

Knowing that the houses here wouldn't last more than a few years, Chen Shuning firmly stopped He Chaoyang from building a house in the village.

Although she knew He Chaoyang was probably not short of money, she had already built a house. Although it was small, it was considered a good house in the village.

The main problem is that they are not villagers of Qingshan Brigade, so even if they build a house, they only have the right to live there and not the right to buy or sell it.

In that case, one small house is enough to live in; anything more would be a waste. It would be better to save that money and buy a house in Beijing.

Therefore, Chen Shuning, who was determined to become a landlady after the reform and opening up, firmly stopped He Chaoyang from building a house in the village.

Now, the old man Shen Baogen is filled with resentment whenever he sees her. He was originally thinking of building a big house for the village again. He had already decided on the location, right next to the educated youth settlement compound. After the young couple left, he could simply knock down the wall of the educated youth settlement compound so that he wouldn't have to worry about where the educated youth would have to stay when they came again.

Who knew that this girl's one sentence would ruin this good thing?

To be honest, the He family's son is a disappointment. He's not a real man, and he can't even take charge of the household or make decisions before he's even married.

That girl is useless; she can't handle a glare from me.

No matter how deep the old man's resentment was, He Chaoyang's house was never built in the end.

Of course, that's all in the future. On the day He Chaoyang was discharged from the hospital, after completing the formalities, He Chaoyang took the things Liu Jian brought, threw the luggage at Liu Jian, and pulled Chen Shuning towards the commune.

In those days, there were no civil affairs halls; marriage registration was handled by the commune, which also issued marriage certificates to the newlyweds.

It wasn't until she received the marriage registration form that Chen Shuning understood why He Chaoyang had repeatedly told her several days in advance that she must wear the red wool sweater and woolen skirt that his mother had sent to pick him up on the day he was discharged from the hospital.

It seems they had planned this all along. And that letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of Qingshan Brigade—I wonder when they issued it.

The most important thing is that she herself didn't go, yet this person was able to issue a letter of introduction; that takes skill.

After receiving her marriage certificate, Chen Shuning looked at her boyfriend, He Chaoyang, who was supposed to be aloof—or rather, her husband—and found that he had even prepared wedding candy.

Right now, he's all smiles, handing out wedding candies to the staff at the marriage registration office, which makes Chen Shuning feel like she's being tricked.
