When they arrived at Commander Ding's office, he had already left work, so they went directly to the family compound to find him.
Commander Ding was indeed at home, seemingly having just returned, and was washing his hands.
When Commander Ding saw Lu Zhengting and Battalion Commander Zhang arrive, his heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and looked at the two men.
"You two are off work, what brings you to my house? Do you want to eat your sister-in-law's cooking? Okay, I'll ask her to cook more. You two can stay for dinner tonight."
Lu Zhengting spoke up: "Commander, I want to know why you're holding back my marriage application from being submitted?"
"Oh?" Commander Ding thought to himself, Lu Zhengting really did come about the marriage application. "Zhengting, don't worry. Your marriage application is still with me, it will be approved sooner or later."
"Why are you dragging your feet on approving my application?"
"I've been quite busy and haven't had time to approve it."
"Then approve it for me now."
Lu Zhengting's expression was stern, and his attitude was firm.
Commander Ding was pondering how to continue dragging this matter out, but Lu Zhengting was not easily fooled. What kind of solution should he come up with?
"The report is in the office; everyone's already off work. Let's do it tomorrow."
I can always think about it tonight and find another reason to delay it tomorrow.
"Commander, I think you're deliberately delaying my marriage application. You're intentionally not going to approve it. When the battalion commander came to ask you for it, you said you'd submitted it to the division commander. I just went to the division commander, and he said it wasn't there at all, so that's why I came here to find you."
"Commander, you've already lied about this matter; I can't trust you anymore. Besides, my marriage application was submitted five days ago; there's absolutely no reason to delay any longer. If you can't approve it, then it's due to your negligence."
"Have you already spoken to the division commander?"
Instead of coming to him, they went directly to their division commander.
He seemed to have no reason to delay any longer, otherwise he would be punished.
All I could do was apologize to Grandma Li in my heart.
"Alright, since you're in such a hurry, let's go to the office now and I'll approve it for you."
The three of them went to Commander Ding's office together. Commander Ding quickly signed and stamped the document, and then went to find the political commissar of the regiment to sign and stamp it. Only then did Lu Zhengting take the marriage report back to the division commander's office.
As soon as they left, Commander Ding busied himself calling Old Mrs. Lu in Beijing, but no one answered after several attempts. He couldn't tell Old Mrs. Lu the news for the time being, and if she blamed him for it, he could only say that he had no choice.
The division commander was more efficient. After checking the marriage report and finding no problems, he directly signed his name and stamped it.
"Alright, no problem. You can take it and get your marriage certificate with your partner. I wish you a happy marriage in advance."
"Thank you, sir."
The division commander continued, "Xiao Ding has been lying to his superiors about this matter, and I will have to criticize him when I see him."
Lu Zhengting remained silent, bid farewell to the division commander, and as soon as he and Battalion Commander Zhang left the division commander's office, he asked Battalion Commander Zhang for leave.
Battalion Commander Zhang sighed: "You're going back to get married. Getting married is such a big deal, how could I not approve your leave? How could I dare not approve your leave?"
During the time Lu Zhengting was recovering from his injuries, his attendance was considered normal, so he didn't take leave too frequently. In addition, there were no special missions during this period, so Battalion Commander Zhang let him go.
Lu Zhengting was in a hurry to leave today, so after he packed his luggage, Battalion Commander Zhang personally drove him to the train station.
The next day, Mopan Village Brigade,
Mr. and Mrs. Lu came here together.
They had just arrived in the village and didn't yet know where Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya lived, so they went to the clinic to find Lin Qingyan first.
When Lin Qingyan saw that Lu's mother had arrived, she noticed that a middle-aged man of similar age was accompanying her. The middle-aged man's appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Zhengting's, so he must be Lu's father.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Qingyan, we're all here."
Lin Qingyan walked up to them and instinctively called out to Lu's mother, "Mom."
After calling her "Mom," she regretted it a little. Because of Grandma Lu's obstruction, she and Lu Zhengting might not be able to continue being together. It seemed a little inappropriate to continue calling Lu's mother "Mom."
Lu's mother introduced Lu's father to him, "This is your dad."
When Mr. Lu met his daughter-in-law for the first time, he was composed but a little reserved, and he smiled gently.
Lin Qingyan hesitated for a moment before saying to Uncle Lu, "Hello, Uncle."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu heard Lin Qingyan address Mr. Lu, their expressions changed slightly, and they felt somewhat embarrassed.
Lin Qingyan explained to them, "Aunt Lu, I'll still call you Auntie, because I might not become your daughter-in-law yet. It would be more appropriate for me to call you Uncle and Auntie."
Upon hearing Lin Qingyan's sudden change in attitude, Lu's mother immediately thought of Lu's grandmother and Shen Mengya.
The two people opposed Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan being together. It was only after they came here that Lin Qingyan changed her attitude towards them. It must have been because those two people said something to Lin Qingyan.
"Qingyan, we know that Zhengting's grandmother and Mengya came here. Did they say anything to you?"
"Yes, they all don't want me to be with Zheng Ting, and they want me to leave Zheng Ting on my own initiative."
Mother Lu said, "Don't listen to her. She can't make decisions about you and Zhengting. You probably don't know about her relationship with Mengya. Mengya is her good friend and the granddaughter of her benefactor. Her benefactor entrusted her to her before he passed away, asking her to take good care of Mengya."
