Commander Lu glanced at Luo Jingyan, who was standing next to Old Madam Xue.
"Senior, what brings you to the military region at this hour? Or are you here to visit someone? Why don't you come inside and sit with me?"
Grandma Xue waved her hand: "We won't go in. We'll just wait for news outside. We're here for my grandson and granddaughter-in-law's wedding."
Who is your grandson?
"That's Xue Yanchen from your military region, he's a battalion commander now."
"Oh, so it's Comrade Xue, a war god-level figure in our military region. No wonder he's so outstanding. He's your grandson, senior."
Grandma Xue's face fell, and she said with resentment, "What's the use of being outstanding? What's the use of being someone's grandson? Getting married will still be difficult."
Upon hearing this, Commander Lu frowned.
"Senior, you said your grandson is getting married, but he's having trouble getting married. Can you tell me what's going on?"
He couldn't help but take another look at Luo Jingyan. Could this young girl be Xue Yanchen's marriage partner?
The difficulty soldiers face in getting married is simply due to problems with the woman's family background.
Grandma Xue told Commander Lu the details of Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan's marriage, and also told him about their special trip to deliver medals, certificates, and thank-you letters.
"Xiao Lu, you said my Jingyan has done so many good deeds to help others, can't she still be removed from the list of heroes?"
Commander Lu smiled and said, "I don't think there will be any problem. Now that the materials have been submitted, the organization will naturally give a fair and just result. Don't worry, we will give you a reply soon."
Grandma Xue nodded: "We've been waiting for the results of your research."
Commander Lu learned that Luo Jingyan was a member of the "Five Black Categories" and was therefore ineligible to enter the military region.
They chatted for a while longer, then Grandma Xue said, "Little Lu, you're a high-ranking official now, you must be very busy, so I won't chat with you any longer. Go back now."
Director Lu said politely, "Senior, where do you live? I'll visit you in person another day."
Grandma Xue smiled and politely declined, saying, "There's no need for a visit. I appreciate your kind gesture, but I plan to let my grandson and granddaughter-in-law get married here once their marriage application is approved."
"That's no problem."
Couples from different locations must register their marriage in the place where one of them is registered. Xue Yanchen's military status is in the military, which means his household registration is in the military, so he can register his marriage in the place where his military unit is located.
If you are demobilized and returning home, you can apply for the demobilization certificate in Beijing or in Anxian County, Jilin Province.
After chatting with Commander Lu for a while, Grandma Xue let him go into the military region.
Luo Jingyan was quite curious about the story between Old Mrs. Xue and Commander Lu.
"Grandma, that army commander used to be your subordinate, right?"
"Yes, he was just a young lad when he fought the Japanese with me. Time flies, and he's now a division commander."
The old lady's gaze gradually drifted into the distance, as if she were lost in deep memories.
When she came to her senses, she grabbed Luo Jingyan's hand, "Haha, come on, let's talk as we walk. Little Lu was such a good boy back then. He didn't have shoes to wear during the war and was always barefoot..."
In the army commander's office
Chief of Staff Hu's expression was grave: "Commander, Plan 325 has been leaked. Our soldiers are under fierce attack on the battlefield. They have changed their battle plan. The situation is dire. We must send reinforcements immediately and find out who leaked the plan to prevent further losses."
"Not many people know about this plan, only the six of us who are key leaders. But we can't rule out the possibility that some of these people might have indirectly leaked the information. We must thoroughly investigate who that mole is."
"Should we summon them all for questioning?"
"No, don't alert them yet. Observe them secretly and catch them off guard. Send out another group of soldiers, and make sure the front lines provide sufficient support. We absolutely cannot give the enemy any opportunity to exploit."
"Um."
A day later, Commander Li went to Xue Yanchen's dormitory to see him.
Xue Yanchen was somewhat surprised by his arrival. If his marriage application had been approved, he only needed to hand it over to the troupe leader, who would then notify him. Alternatively, he could have asked about the result himself. Why did he come to find him in person?
His question was soon answered.
He offered his seat to Commander Li, asking, "What business requires your personal attention, Commander Li?"
Commander Li frowned and sighed, "Yanchen, I came here today specifically to tell you that, unfortunately, although your marriage application and your partner's documents have been submitted, after the organization's review, you still do not meet the requirements for a military marriage. Yanchen, I won't force you now. Whether you stay in the army or go home with your partner to get married is entirely up to you."
Xue Yanchen was already slightly suspicious of Commander Li's "honorable arrival," and now this guy was being so lenient with him, actually letting him go so easily.
"Commander, you could have just asked our regimental commander or someone else to tell me about this. Why did you come all the way here in person?"
“I… I just value talent.” He patted Xue Yanchen’s shoulder. “Actually, I still hoped you could stay, and I wanted to try to persuade you to stay. But seeing how determined you are with your partner, I think you probably won’t listen to me, so I’m giving you the freedom to choose. If you’re willing to stay in the army, of course I’ll wholeheartedly support you; I’d be more than happy to do so.”
"In that case, I'll leave here and go back to marry my boyfriend."
