Chapter 411: Thank you for your hard work, wedding candy
Yan Shaoyu held Gu Yuehuai's hand and whispered, "Are you nervous?"
Gu Yuehuai's eyes and eyebrows were full of sweet smiles, and he tilted his head to look at him: "Are you nervous?"
A dimple appeared on Yan Shaoyu's lips. He held her hand tighter and hummed softly. He was really nervous.
"Be good." Gu Yuehuai reached out and touched Yan Shaoyu's head. The look in his eyes seemed to have spanned countless years. To be honest, it was a pity that the two of them couldn't get to this point in their previous life. This life is truly perfect.
At this time, the civil servant who collected the marriage report smiled and said, "Let's take a photo together?"
"Okay." They held hands and sat down in front of the curtain. Although all photos in this era were black and white, they were wedding photos after all, so they had to be taken seriously. Gu Yuehuai leaned against Yan Shaoyu with a smile on his face, but Yan Shaoyu had a tense face and was stiff all over.
The civilian staff member held the camera and looked at it for a while, then laughed, raised his head and looked at Yan Shaoyu, jokingly saying: "Comrade Yan, relax, you look like you were forced to marry by the old landlord when you are on camera like this, look at Comrade Gu, how natural he is."
Yan Shaoyu became even stiffer, he didn't know where to put his hands, and a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him and said unhappily, "It looks more like you were forced into marriage. Look at me."
The corners of Yan Shaoyu's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he looked at Gu Yuehuai, only to see that she was smiling with his figure reflected in her eyes. The next moment, her red lips softly pressed against the corners of his lips. Yan Shaoyu was stunned, and then his cheeks were covered with a blush.
"Look over there!" Gu Yuehuai pointed to the location of the camera, and Yan Shaoyu looked over subconsciously.
“Crack—”
The camera froze the scene at this moment.
The civilian staff member said, "I'll start developing the photos now. They'll be available in half an hour."
He also knew that Yan Shaoyu would be on a mission in the afternoon, and his newlywed wife would probably be leaving the army soon, so he thought of developing the wedding photos as soon as possible so he could take them back and show them to his family, right?
Gu Yuehuai curved his lips and took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket: "Thank you for your hard work, wedding candy."
The civilian staff member was stunned, then took the wedding candy and said with a smile: "Comrade Gu has prepared everything. OK, I'll accept it and share in your good luck. Who knows, maybe I can marry a beautiful comrade like you in the future?"
After saying that, he took his camera to the darkroom to develop the photos.
Cameras of this era all use old-style films, which have a slow development time and require more than ten steps for post-processing. The most technically demanding of these is developing the film in a darkroom.
Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyang were the only ones left in the office. She took out another candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth.
She tilted her head and chuckled, "Is it sweet?"
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips: "When did you prepare it?"
Gu Yuehuai took out a handful of candies from his pocket and handed them to Yan Shaoyu: "I prepared them when I came. Here, take them and share them with your comrades later."
Yan Shaoyu stuffed the candy into his military uniform pocket, leaving one, peeled it and fed it to Gu Yuehuai.
The two didn't have to wait long. While they were talking, the civilian staff came out with the photos.
He smiled and said, "You two look like celebrities. Look, aren't the photos good?"
Gu Yuehuai took the photo, looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.
In the photo, she and Yan Shaoyu sat side by side, very close.
Her smile was so bright that her cheeks looked even more delicate and she looked beaming with joy, while Yan Shaoyu's face was still shy and the indifference and arrogance between his brows had disappeared, leaving only a hint of helplessness, looking like a young man who had never experienced anything.
Yan Shaoyu also came over to take a look, a little surprised, as if he didn't believe that the person in the photo was him.
"Thank you." Gu Yuehuai's tone was very satisfied and he carefully put the photos away.
The two of them left the office, Yan Shaoyu's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "I'll drive you to the station."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "No need to send me off, you still have to prepare things, how can you have so much time? By the way, go back to the dormitory, I have something for you, take it with you when you go to the front line, it may save your life when necessary."
She took Yan Shaoyu back to the temporary visiting dormitory and handed him the prepared medicine powder and space well water: "This medicine is what was used on Uncle Xu at that time. Take it. And this water, take them all with you anyway."
Gu Yuehuai didn't explain much, and after Yan Shaoyu accepted it, he didn't ask any more questions. The two seemed to have reached some strange tacit understanding.
"Okay, the contract has been signed, and the matter has been resolved. I think it's still early, and I can still catch the train if I leave now, so you don't have to see me off. Uncle Xu, please tell me that I won't go over and delay your business."
Gu Yuehuai picked up the things he had packed long ago and spoke to Yan Shaoyu.
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips tightly, not knowing what to say at this moment to suppress his surging emotions.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed his slightly cool lips: "I'll wait for you to come back."
The corners of Yan Shaoyu's eyes turned red. He grabbed her slender waist and bit her lips with great force. It was obvious that he was a novice.
After a while, he finally let go of her hand: "Wait until I come back."
The journey of leaving was smoother than the journey of coming. Yan Shaoyu sent Gu Yuehuai onto the boat and stood at the dock, watching the boat gradually go away and finally turn into a small black dot. He took a deep breath, the reluctance between his brows turned into indifference and determination, and he turned around and returned to the army.
He has a lot to do, and next, there is a tough battle to fight.

Gu Yuehuai sat on the deck, looked at the sparkling sea and sighed.
She opened her packed bag and prepared to pretend to take out some wedding candies to distribute to the people on the boat.
However, as soon as she opened it, she saw an envelope. It was not very thick. She took it out and took a look with some surprise. There were seven yuan neatly placed inside, as well as some food coupons and meat coupons. It looked a bit pitiful.
There was also a piece of letter inside with only a short line of words on it: The allowance for new recruits is small, so you keep it first.
He seemed to have written something like "I will work hard" at the end, but he felt that this was just a blank check, so he quickly crossed out the rest of the words. Thinking of such an action happening to Yan Shaoyu, Gu Yuehuai couldn't help but laugh.
She put the envelope away, looked at the vast sea, a smile on her lips, everything was moving in the right direction.
After getting off the boat, someone arranged a car to take Gu Yuehuai to Huaihai Railway Station.
She felt a little warm in her heart, knowing that it was Yan Shaoyu who asked her to do so, and she took out a handful of wedding candies and gave them out.
Huaihai Railway Station was as crowded as usual. She carried her luggage into the station, bought a ticket, and boarded the train. Everything went smoothly.
Two days later, we arrived in Feng City.
The chaos at Fengshi Station is self-evident. As soon as I got off the train, I encountered three chase and robbery incidents.
Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly, thinking about what happened in the Huaihai Municipal Party Committee compound and knew that Song Lin would not be able to spare the time to clean up the place. Xing Jian had no way to get rid of his son with Scar, so he would be in trouble in the future.
She shook her head. That's how things are. Plans can never keep up with changes.
