He reached out and patted He Chaoyang's arm, nodding repeatedly, and said, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

"Hurry up and go to your uncle's house. Your aunt will kill a chicken for you. You need to take good care of your injured chicken. Come on, let's go home."

As Shen Baogen spoke, he pulled He Chaoyang toward home.

Chen Shuning, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, finally found an opportunity and quickly stopped Shen Baogen, who was about to leave with someone in his arms.

"Uncle, wait a minute. We have important business to discuss with you. There's no rush to eat."

Uncle, please wait for me a moment.

As Chen Shuning spoke, he returned to the car, took out a bag of candy, and pulled He Chaoyang along, first heading towards the villagers who were watching the commotion, giving each of them a handful of candy.

Without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment, she smiled and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, yesterday Brother He and I got our marriage certificate. Today, I came back specially to bring you all some wedding candy. Please share in our joy."

As she spoke, Chen Shuning grabbed a handful of fruit candies that she had prepared beforehand for each person. Chen Shuning had small hands, so she didn't beg for them to take them. Each person only got about three or four pieces of candy.

However, sugar was a precious commodity in those days, and the villagers who saw it gathered around to congratulate them.

Chen Shuning distributed the wedding candies to everyone, and the villagers enjoyed the sweet candies while praising the newlyweds.

The children weaved through the crowd, watching the handsome officer in uniform with curiosity, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

Chen Shuning and Zhang Hechaoyang smiled and thanked everyone for their blessings. In the process, they felt the warmth and blessings of the villagers, and their hearts were filled with happiness and emotion.

After everyone received their candy, Chen Shuning returned to Shen Baogen's side and explained with a smile, "Uncle, Brother He and I got our marriage certificate yesterday. I came back today to ask you for leave so we can go back to Beijing to hold our wedding."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baogen slapped his thigh. Although he had just heard the news that the two had registered their marriage, Chen Shuning said that she needed to ask for leave to return to Beijing to hold the wedding.

Naturally, he was happy for the two of them and replied with a smile, "Good, good, this is great news. Come on, I'll go get you a letter of introduction right now."

As he spoke, the old man turned and ran towards the brigade headquarters, seemingly genuinely happy for the two of them.

Chen Shuning reached out to grab someone but missed. Helpless, he shook his head and deliberately went around to the side of the car that was away from the villagers. He then took a bag of candy and a bag of pastries and pulled He Chaoyang along as they ran towards the brigade headquarters.

Chen Shuning had planned to treat the people from the educated youth settlement to a meal tomorrow before setting off back to Beijing the day after, so he had to make things clear before the old man finished writing the letter of introduction.
