Having gone to bed early last night, Sang Feiyu woke up early today.
She had to be on an empty stomach in the morning, so after washing up and changing her clothes, she waited for Ning Zhiyuan to come and have a physical examination with her at the Dongjun Hospital.
While waiting, Sang Feiyu habitually found a rag and wanted to wipe off the yellow dirt on the surface of the shoes.
When her eyes fell on the curved lines of the thousand-layer soles made by an old craftsman in Yangcheng, her hand holding the rag paused. Well, she decided not to wipe it off, lest people discover that there was something wrong with her shoes.
Bored, she played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" to the air in front of her. This song was dedicated by Beethoven to his lover at the time. Beethoven was experiencing many setbacks at the time, so the song was full of melancholy atmosphere.
She started practicing piano at a young age and also studied ballet with exiled Nordic aristocrats.
As Sang Feiyu played the air, her body couldn't help but spin. The familiar yet unfamiliar dance posture made the corners of her mouth slightly rise.
When the song and dance ended, she instantly returned to her original appearance, sitting quietly on the stool waiting for Ning Zhiyuan to come.
It was as if what just happened had never happened.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, "Xiao Yu."
Sang Feiyu walked out quickly, locked the door, and followed Ning Zhiyuan to the military hospital.
In order to ease Sang Feiyu's nervousness along the way, Ning Zhiyuan briefly explained to her the main items and procedures of the marriage examination in advance. Sang Feiyu did not expect that in addition to checking physical fitness and fertility, the marriage examination also added special links, such as loyalty tests and cross-examination.
In fact, Sang Feiyu feels that military marriage is quite troublesome. To get married, one needs to prepare three forms and five certificates, including the review form, physical examination form, household registration + application form, identity certificate, unit certificate, letter of introduction, and public disclosure certificate.
The two of them entered the military hospital, and Sang Feiyu's eyes couldn't help but fall on the collar of the green military uniform of the female doctor in a long coat. There was a sign on the female clinic that read "Women Hold Up Half the Sky", and there was a sign on the men's examination room that read "Prepare for War and Famine for the People".
The first thing they had to do was to submit a "Marriage Clearance Certificate" and a "Military Marriage Application Approval" specially approved by the army. In addition, each of them submitted a one-inch photo to be affixed to the pre-marital medical examination registration card.
The second step is to recite "Quotations from Chairman Mao" in the hospital corridor and sign a letter of guarantee, promising not to conceal the disease or marry with hostile forces.
The next step is the inspection process, where both men and women are inspected separately.
During the examination, the hospital will ask questions suddenly to observe the reaction speed and ability of the person being examined.
The final result will be sealed with wax kraft paper and stamped with a five-star wax seal. It will also need to be inspected and confirmed by the military doctor, the Party Committee and the director of the Women's Federation.
Only Category A results can grant marriage, the other categories are pending observation and prohibited marriage.
Precisely because the premarital examination is particularly strict, Sang Feiyu and Ning Zhiyuan attach great importance to this premarital examination. They cannot let their guard down until the results come out.
The two came out of the military hospital. It was already noon. Sang Feiyu touched his stomach and asked, "Shall we eat?"
"Uh-huh."
"I'll take you back home first, and then we'll go to the canteen to get food."
Ning Zhiyuan didn't want Sang Feiyu to eat in the cafeteria, but he actually had his own considerations.
It was meal time and the cafeteria was packed with smelly men. He was worried that Sang Feiyu would come out and vomit before he even entered the room, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and cause trouble.
Sang Feiyu didn't want to squeeze into the canteen, so she said, "I know the way. You go to the canteen first and pack your food. I'll wait for you at home."
When Ning Zhiyuan heard the words "I'll wait for you at home", his heart began to beat fast and his face turned slightly red.
Sang Feiyu thought that it was because the sun was too strong and his face was red, so he didn't think much about it.
"Then be careful and we'll see you later." Ning Zhiyuan reminded him reluctantly and turned to walk towards the cafeteria.
Sang Feiyu returned the same way she came, trying her best to avoid people along the way. Her identity as a capitalist daughter always reminded her to keep a low profile. As long as she didn't cause trouble, with the protection of the Ning family, she should be able to survive.
After finally returning home, Sang Feiyu's face was already covered with a layer of fine sweat. She found a towel to wash her face, and changed into comfortable home clothes. Only then did she feel better.
