The person who came was none other than Director Cao from the Division Administration Department.
The incident happened suddenly and Director Cao had no time to beat around the bush. He asked Huo Tingzhou a question straight to the point before he even entered the door.
"I just want to ask you one thing, are you sure you want to get married?"
"The kind that wants to get married even if it means getting punished?"
Director Cao had asked the same question during the previous phone call, but this time his tone was obviously different.
Huo Tingzhou didn't understand why, but he still expressed his attitude immediately.
"Director Cao, no matter how many times you ask me this, I will still give the same answer."
He wants to get married!
Hearing this, Director Cao sighed. In fact, he had already guessed the outcome before coming here.
Having said everything that needed to be said, he directly handed the marriage report to Huo Tingzhou.
"It's 8:50 now. I'll give you two hours. Hurry up and go to the Civil Service Bureau to get your license."
Huo Tingzhou and Jiang Si looked at each other and asked, "Let's go now?"
"right."
Director Cao did not explain too much. After all, the two sides would have to confront each other later, and it would not be good for him to side with either side.
He dropped a note and said, "At 11 o'clock, both of you go to the office of the Division Administration Department."
After saying that, Director Cao turned and left.
He didn't say anything, but Jiang Si had a vague idea in her heart.
"Director Cao usually speaks like this, you don't have to worry."
Huo Tingzhou gave her a reassuring look: "Even if something happens, at most you won't be able to move up for a few years."
Jiang Si smiled and nodded, "I know, I'm not worried."
They had already discussed these matters before, so they would certainly not back down just because of Director Cao's words.
Of course, necessary preparations must be made.
Jiang Si returned to her room and found the green canvas bag with the words "Serve the People" printed on it that the Ministry of State Security had sent her some time ago.
She also pinned the two specially customized badges on her chest.
This can be considered as one of the characteristics of this era. People would wear these when taking photos or attending formal occasions.
When they had almost finished packing, they rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau with the materials they needed for the wedding.
Since Director Cao had already informed them in advance, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau took special measures to handle the matter.
From filling out the documents to receiving the award-style marriage certificate with a big red seal on it, it took less than ten minutes in total.
Looking at the freshly issued marriage certificate, Jiang Si was in a trance.
Before I had time to take a closer look, Huo Tingzhou had already carefully put the marriage certificate into the file bag.
When we arrived at the family compound, it was already past ten forty.
As soon as the two got off the car, they met several military wives who had just returned from buying groceries.
Unlike a few days ago, when everyone met each other, they would nod and be polite.
When these people saw Jiang Si today, they were like mice seeing a cat. They didn't even raise their heads and just walked around her.
Jiang Si didn't mind this. They didn't have a very good relationship to begin with, so there was no need for her to be sad about it.
Huo Tingzhou, on the other hand, exuded a sense of low pressure all over his body.
Jiang Si knew that he was worried about her and was about to speak.
Huo Tingzhou, however, held her hand tightly at this moment and said, "Come on, let's go to the Administrative Department first."
This was the first time Huo Tingzhou held her hand in public since they returned to the family compound.
Although Jiang Si was a little surprised, she still nodded and said, "Okay."
After the two men walked away, the military wives who had been there before stopped walking and started chattering again.
"I originally thought that Captain Huo's wife was just from a well-off family, but I didn't expect her family background to be so complicated!"
"Fortunately, we didn't have much contact with her before, otherwise it would affect our man's future and that would be a big loss."
"That's right. I think Captain Huo is really confused! With his conditions, he can find any kind of wife, but he chose this kind of woman."
"Sister Xiuying, you don't know this, right? As for men, who doesn't like handsome men?"
