Chapter 48 Chapter 48
The next day, Bai Jiang's office.
As soon as Wen Yanxi entered the room, Bai Jiang handed over a document with a smile: "Yanxi, this is for you!"
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were filled with joy.
When Wen Yanxi heard Chen Zhaoyue talking about work last night, he just thought it was a work report from the health center.
He took the document and glanced at it. It was stamped with a red seal, and the word "agree" was written in a flamboyant style in the approval opinion column.
However, this was not a work report, but a marriage report he submitted a few days ago.
"So fast?" Wen Yanxi was a little surprised.
Bai Jiang waved his hand: "The health center is short of people. If you had told me earlier that Comrade Shen knew medical skills, why would we have to go through so many procedures?"
He paused, lowered his voice again, and said with a gossipy look on his face: “But…I want to know, why does Comrade Shen still call you uncle?”
Last night, Bai Jiang realized it after returning home: the previous engagement was invalid, and Wen Yanxi had already submitted the marriage report, so the title should have been changed long ago!
Wen Yanxi closed the file expressionlessly: "Stop asking."
Bai Jiang was met with disdain and touched his nose awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I won't ask."
He turned and smiled again, "Since the report has been approved, Comrade Shen can report to the health center early, come tomorrow!"
"Yeah." Wen Yanxi responded expressionlessly.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was not right.
As an old cadre, I still joke with the soldiers from time to time!
Look at the person in front of me. He is too stingy to even smile, as if someone owes him eight hundred yuan.
Bai Jiang shook his head secretly, he really couldn't understand how such a man could find a wife.
Maybe she is a lady from a big city and has a very different vision?
"Here, this is the consent form for working at the health center." Bai Jiang handed over another document: "Comrade Shen, just bring this with you when you report."
He deliberately emphasized the three words "Comrade Shen" to see Wen Yanxi's reaction.
In the end, the other party just nodded slightly.
Wen Yanxi took the document, folded it carefully and put it in his inner pocket. Without even saying a word of extra courtesy, he turned and left.
Bai Jiang looked at his back, shook his head and sighed: "This guy... is really boring."

"Let's just have a simple pizza for lunch." Chen Zhaoyue sat at the dining table and ordered from Johnny.
"Miss, would you like milk tea or happy water?" Johnny asked carefully.
Chen Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Sister Chen! Are you at home?" Yue Xiulan's loud voice could be heard clearly through the yard and the door.
"Ah!" Shen Zhaoyue hurriedly took Johnny back into the space.
Then he looked around quickly, making sure there were no items from later generations left in the house, and then he trotted to open the door.
Outside the door, Yue Xiulan was holding a large piece of pork belly with fat and lean strips, her smile showing through her teeth: "Sending some meat to your house! My husband just received the supplies this morning, it's so fresh!"
She enthusiastically shook the meat in her hand. The meat seemed to be sizzling in the sunlight, and the color was particularly bright.
Chen Zhaoyue hurried forward to take it, and the heavy weight made her wrist sink: "Sister Yue, how can I be so embarrassed..."
"You're so polite!" Yue Xiulan walked into the house familiarly. "My husband, Lao Bai, has a good relationship with Captain Wen. We should visit each other more often!"
After these two contacts, Yue Xiulan liked this girl from the bottom of her heart.
Although Chen Zhaoyue spoke softly and with the gentleness that is unique to southerners, she was not pretentious at all in her behavior, and she did not have the arrogance of the rumored capitalist lady.
Chen Zhaoyue put the meat on the kitchen chopping board, turned around and took a glass of spiritual spring water and handed it over.
Yue Xiulan took the cup and gulped down most of it. Suddenly she exclaimed, "This water from your house is quite sweet."
She smacked her lips and savored the taste: "This is much better than the water from the well in our compound!"
"Little... Yanxi called back at night, maybe because he stayed up all night." Chen Zhaoyue said calmly.
"Oh, right." Yue Xiulan's eyes lit up as if she suddenly remembered something. "Yesterday, I seemed to hear you calling Captain Wen 'Uncle'?"
She moved closer, curiosity written all over her face.
Chen Zhaoyue didn't expect her to ask this. After a moment's pause, she explained, "I'm about the same age as Wen Qing. I just followed his way of calling him that at the beginning and couldn't change my way of speaking for a while."
Yue Xiulan nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it is."
As she spoke, she winked mischievously: "Then once the marriage application is approved, you have to call me 'husband' from now on. Calling me 'uncle' won't be appropriate anymore~"
The ending tone was dragged out so long that Shen Zhaoyue's cheeks turned pink.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, making the water in the teacup sparkle.
Yue Xiulan looked at the shy and smart girl in front of her and liked her more and more.
Wen Yanxi really found a treasure this time!

In the evening, when Wen Yanxi came back, Chen Zhaoyue was in the kitchen thinking about how to deal with the meat.
She couldn't throw it into space and let Johnny do it, which was really frustrating.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Zhaoyue's eyes lit up and he immediately poked his head out of the kitchen: "Uncle! Can you make braised pork?"
Her voice was full of anticipation.
Wen Yanxi, who had been in the army for many years and had only heard of the dish's name but had never eaten it, shook his head and said, "No."
Chen Zhaoyue's eyes dimmed for a moment, but when he thought about it, since Wen Yanxi was from the north, it was normal that he couldn't cook southern dishes.
After a moment, she asked again: "What about the sweet and sour pork?"
Wen Yanxi:...
"Roujiamo?"
“…”
Chen Zhaoyue asked the names of several dishes in a row, some of which Wen Yanxi had never even heard of.
As Wen Yanxi fell silent, Chen Zhaoyue's face fell: "What should we do? The meat that Sister Yue sent us can't be wasted..."
There were no refrigerators in those days, so they just fried the meat slices, and the two of them couldn't eat much.
If she had known earlier, she should have put some of them into the space and taken them out slowly later.
"I'll take care of it." Wen Yanxi walked into the kitchen and handed over two documents.
Chen Zhaoyue wiped his hands and took it. When he found it was a work consent form, his eyes lit up: "Approved?"
"Yeah." Wen Yanxi paused and added, "The marriage report has also been approved."
"Really?" Chen Zhaoyue looked up in surprise.
Although Bai Jiang made the announcement yesterday, Shen Zhaoyue did not expect that the efficiency would be so fast.
Wen Yanxi looked into her sparkling eyes and softened his tone: "The commander asked us to go to his house for dinner tomorrow."
"Okay!" Chen Zhaoyue nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, narrowing his eyes cunningly: "Then now..."
She deliberately dragged out her tone: "Should I not call you 'uncle' anymore?"
Wen Yanxi paused what he was doing and turned to look at the quirky girl beside him. She was tilting her head, waiting for his answer with anticipation.
