Chapter 48 Aunt Tang Gives Cen Yan the Cold Shoulder
Cen Yan quickly pulled her hand away from the man's and put the marriage certificate into her bag. "Comrade Leng is right. Thank you all for your hard work today. Let's eat first."
Her face flushed slightly from the heat of the man's palm. Hearing Leng Feng's words, she felt as if she had been rescued and quickly ran to the passenger side door of the truck, only to find...
I can't get up there.
Qi Jingchuan strode over and placed his large hand on her waist.
Before Cen Yan could react, the man used a little force and she easily got into the passenger seat of the truck.
"Thank you." Cen Yan turned her head away from Qi Jingchuan.
After receiving their marriage certificates, the group went to a state-run restaurant.
The dishes and seats were all booked in advance.
Qi Jingchuan felt that on such a joyous occasion, the cost of hosting a dinner party should not be skimped on.
He booked all five tables in the state-run restaurant, inside and out, with eight dishes, a soup, and a staple food, symbolizing perfection. Five of the dishes were meat.
After the meal, Leng Feng suggested that the convoy take the two newlyweds back to their family compound, but Qi Jingchuan dismissed them and told Leng Feng to take the men and drive back to the military base first, and then take Cen Yan to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Cen Yan thought he was going to do something, but to her surprise, he brought her two new outfits and bought melon seeds, peanuts, and wedding candy. Before long, the man was carrying a full load of things in both hands.
"That's enough, that's enough!" Cen Yan calculated that in less than half an hour, Qi Jingchuan had already spent more than two hundred yuan. "Don't buy so much, it's too wasteful."
"Marrying into Dongming Island has already made you feel wronged. You don't need to worry about money. Just tell me if you need anything else."
Qi Jingchuan felt guilty for not having had time to show Cen Yan around Dongming Island the past two days and wanted to make up for it now.
Cen Yan thought to herself, it wasn't that she was worried about money, it was just that Dongming Island was short of supplies and the prices were not cheap. Before coming here, she had stocked up on a lot of things in her space, so why waste money?
"We have everything we need at home. I've been busy these past few days, buying quite a few things. Today is our big day, so let's go home early. We can add whatever we need later." Cen Yan lowered her eyes, reached into her pocket and gripped something tightly. She wanted to get down to business as soon as possible.
Qi Jingchuan thought it made sense. "Okay, you can decide what the family needs. I'll give you my salary savings book later."
"In addition, officers at the battalion level and above receive a marriage subsidy from the military. They can present their marriage certificate at the logistics department of the family compound to receive a dining table, two wooden chairs, a double bed, a washstand, a dragon and phoenix enamel basin, and a pair of mandarin duck thermos flasks."
In addition, there are kitchen supplies, eight pairs of chopsticks, and four bowls and plates each. You have to collect these yourself. Qi Jingchuan told Cen Yan in advance because you never know when he might have to go on a mission.
It's best to explain all the family matters to Cen Yan in advance.
Cen Yan was preoccupied with something on her mind, so her answer was perfunctory: "I know, I'll go pick it up when I have time."
Qi Jingchuan took Cen Yan home. Everyone in the family compound knew that they had registered their marriage today, and people came out to greet the young couple along the way.
Some who had never met her before looked at Cen Yan with great curiosity, as if they had seen a monkey in a zoo, their faces full of astonishment.
"Commander Qi, is this your wife? She's really beautiful."
"Yes, we just got our marriage certificate today, sister-in-law, have some candy." Qi Jingchuan handed out candy to everyone he met as he walked, some of whom he didn't know the names of.
Those who received the wedding candy were flattered. Was this really the Qi Jingchuan they knew? He hadn't given them any attitude from beginning to end and had been giving them candy in a very nice and friendly manner.
Qi Jingchuan, who usually has a fierce and expressionless face, has never been so gentle. He treats his wife well. Ordinary people would be reluctant to spend money on a piece of fruit candy, but he, just for a wedding, buys milk candy to save face for Cen Yan.
Comrade Cen Yan is so lucky! How wonderful it would be if the woman who marries Commander Qi is their daughter?
Cen Yan's face was almost frozen from smiling the whole way. When she finally got home, she saw Aunt Tang rushing over.
"Commander Qi, you're finally back! Come in quickly, someone's here, something's happened!"
Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at Cen Yan, as if she were invisible.
Something's not right, this is very wrong.
