Chapter 490 The Colorful Marriage Certificate
The joy of victory swept the entire camp, and the end of the war also meant that the soldiers could return home.
After resting for two days, Yan Shaoyu and other soldiers from the 168th platoon boarded the return bus to Huaihai City. After returning, they would be awarded military merits and ranks, and return home to visit their families with glory.
The journey was smooth, and a few days later, the military vehicles returned to Huaihai City and stopped at the dock.
Gu Yuehuai was already very familiar with the Eighth Military Region this time, and it could not be considered as going there, but rather returning. She was now an upright military doctor who could speak for herself with her own abilities without a letter of introduction.
The Eighth Military Region remained the same, but its gate was wide open, with soldiers holding red flags standing on both sides. Xu Chuangu, his confidant Wu Jue, and guard Li Dongdong stood at the front, welcoming the victorious soldiers with the utmost courtesy.
Yan Shaoyu, Gu Yuehuai and others walked to the front and saluted Xu Chuangu.
Xu Chuangu looked at them with a gratified expression on his face. The former recruits had completely changed after more than half a year of training. The immature expressions were gone, leaving only determination and iron blood.
They have become the most qualified soldiers of Country Z, soldiers who can defend their country!
Xu Chuangu took a deep breath and said loudly: "You are great! You didn't let me down!"
The chief's praise brought a proud smile to everyone's face, and they were welcomed back to the military region by the main force.

Xu Chuanggu's residence.
Uncle Ping prepared a table full of delicious food. Xu Chuangu sat at the first seat, with Yan Shaoyu and Gu Yuehuai sitting below him.
"Shao Yu, I knew you were a shining star, and you didn't disappoint me. The 168th platoon led by you made an indispensable contribution to this great victory on the front line. And you, Xiao Gu, are truly a lucky star!" Xu Chuangu looked very happy.
He praised the two of them repeatedly, his face showing pride and complacency, as if his young generation had great potential.
Yan Shaoyu smiled and said in a very official manner: "It's all thanks to Uncle Xu's guidance."
Xu Chuangu raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Shaoyu in surprise. If it were in the past, he would never have said such teasing and boasting words. This trip to the front line was indeed not in vain. His personality has become more mellow after years of experience.
However, Xu Chuangu knew Yan Shaoyu too well. He laughed and said, "Don't flatter me. Just speak your mind."
Yan Shaoyu seemed to be waiting for this sentence. After hearing what he said, he said, "Since Uncle Xu said so, I won't be polite. Uncle Xu, I need to ask for leave, wedding leave. Since I have made a contribution this time, you should approve me for ten days or half a month of leave, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuangu burst into laughter and nodded at Yan Shaoyu: "Good boy, you know how to start a family and build a career."
He was not ambiguous and said straightforwardly: "Okay! I'll approve your leave! Go back and arrange your wedding with Xiao Gu, and do it in a grand manner! We'll buy everything that should be given, and don't mistreat the girl. She followed you all the way to the front line, but with such a temperament, she is more straightforward and capable than your mother was back then. She is a rare good girl."
After saying that, Xu Chuangu's eyes fell for a moment: "If your parents were here, they would definitely be very happy."
Yan Shaoyu's eyebrows darkened, but he didn't respond. He just smiled at Gu Yuehuai and said, "She is indeed a good girl."
Gu Yuehuai was not shy, he reached out and held Yan Shaoyu's hand, and said seriously: "When your parents come back, we will have another wedding, and then we can invite Uncle Xu, Uncle Ping, Meng Hu, He Lanzhang and the others, okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Yan Shaoyu, but even Xu Chuangu's eyes were filled with warmth.
If there really is such a day, it will definitely be a very good day.
Yan Shaoyu held Gu Yuehuai's hand back and hummed softly.
After lunch, Xu Chuangu chatted with the two for a while before saying, "Tomorrow is the military merit awarding ceremony. You can go back and have a rest. After the ceremony is over, I will approve your marriage leave. Okay, go back."
Yan Shaoyu nodded and left with Gu Yuehuai.
Xu Chuangu stood at the window, watching the young couple leave side by side. There was a moment of trance on his face. It was not until Uncle Ping handed him a cup of hot tea that he said with great emotion: "Shao Yu has finally embarked on this path."
Although Uncle Ping couldn't hear what Xu Chuangu was saying, the two of them had a tacit understanding. One could tell from the way he stared at the two of them that Shao Yu was just like his father. He was a capable man with a long way to go in the future.
Xu Chuangu smiled and nodded: "I hope that we old guys can meet again one day."

After leaving Xu Chuangu's residence, Yan Shaoyu took Gu Yuehuai to the army's office.
Half a year had passed, the review of the marriage report must have been completed, and Gu Yuehuai was now a fully employed military doctor, so even if the marriage report had not been reviewed, it could still be approved, and it was time for their marriage certificate to be issued.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the military office and met the familiar civilian staff member from last time, the two of them got their own marriage certificate. The colorful certificate had both parties' names written on it, and also had their wedding photos attached.
And below the photo, there is the seal of the Eighth Military Region, which shows that they are already husband and wife.
The civilian staff smiled and said, "Congratulations, both of you."
Yan Shaoyu carefully looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, then raised his eyes and thanked him earnestly.
The two left the office and smiled at each other at the door.
In the afternoon, Yan Shaoyu was recalled to the team, and Gu Yuehuai returned to the temporary visiting dormitory. She had to stay here again today, still in the familiar room from last time. After working hard on the front line for more than a month, she fell asleep as soon as she got to the bed.
When Gu Yuehuai woke up, it was already dark. When she came downstairs, she heard a familiar and excited voice: "Sister Gu!"
She turned around and saw that it was indeed the warm and generous Mrs. Cheng from last time.
Sister Cheng seemed very happy when she saw Gu Yuehuai. Her steps were brisk. She ran over and said, "Sis, you can come here. Your man must be back, right? How is he? Is he not injured?"
She still remembered the last time she held Gu Yuehuai's hand and cried about her man going on a dangerous mission. Now, more than half a year has passed, and when they meet again, the men have returned victoriously. She was really lucky.
Gu Yuehuai smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I'm fine."
"That's good, that's good." Sister Cheng smiled, looked around, and whispered in Gu Yuehuai's ear, "Since we won the battle this time, my rank will definitely be raised. I can join the army soon!"
Gu Yuehuai also smiled and said sincerely: "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
Sister Cheng couldn't hide her smile and said, "Don't worry, sister, there will be such a day for you. Then we will be neighbors. Sister-in-law will take you to the sea and catch rabbits every day to feed the men!"
Hearing these plain words, Gu Yuehuai's eyes smiled even more deeply and he nodded seriously: "Okay!"
