Chapter 47 The Wedding Ceremony and the Marriage Certificate Registration
Not long after Cen Yan returned to the guesthouse, only about ten minutes later, she heard the sound of a car outside.
She went outside and saw a military green truck with a big red flower on its hood.
The double happiness symbol is on both sides, making it clear that they are there to pick up the bride.
"Comrade Cen Yan, your fiancé has come to pick you up. He even came in a truck. That's impressive."
The receptionist gazed enviously at the truck, hoping that one day her boyfriend would also drive a truck to pick her up. Even if there was no truck, a bicycle would do.
Cen Yan hadn't expected Qi Jingchuan to be so unassuming, actually managing to get a military vehicle approved.
Without wasting any time, she took a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and handed them to the receptionist. "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Have some candy to share in the good fortune. I'm moving to the family compound starting today."
Lily, the receptionist, quickly ran back to the counter. "Then I'll refund you for the remaining three days' room rate."
"No need. Use this money to buy me two pounds of melon seeds and two pounds of fruit candy. Put them at the front desk so that anyone who comes can share in my joy." Cen Yan wasn't short of money.
After saying that, she smiled and walked towards Qi Jingchuan.
Upon seeing the woman in red, the man's Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly opened the passenger door.
"Comrade Cen Yan, I've come to take you home." Qi Jingchuan's voice was deep, with a dark undercurrent in his eyes.
Cen Yan pursed her lips: "Can you help me? I'm wearing sheepskin high heels, and the military truck is too tall for me to get on."
"Okay." Qi Jingchuan was very decisive. He picked Cen Yan up and put her in the car before walking back to the driver's seat.
He leaned out the window and instructed Leng Feng and the others who had come to pick up the bride: "First go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, then to the state-run restaurant for the banquet! Finally, go to the family compound!"
"Qi Tuan is mighty! Brothers, get ready, sing!"
"..."
From the guesthouse to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the men sang the national anthem and revolutionary songs in loud voices all the way.
The small island seemed to be pierced by their steely singing voices.
Cen Yan's smile never faded. She knew military marriages were special, but she hadn't expected...
They will sing and dance all the way like this.
Qi Jingchuan's comrades offered their blessings with songs as they escorted them to complete the formalities...
Before Cen Yan left Shanghai, she had already separated her household registration.
Upon arrival, she handed over her household registration and identification document stamped by the street office to Qi Jingchuan.
Qi Jingchuan handed over his and Cen Yan's relevant documents. With his status as the group leader, the entire process, from submission to completion, took only about ten minutes.
After completing the formalities and taking wedding photos, she and Qi Jingchuan would be husband and wife. Afterwards, they would find time to go to the office on Dongming Island to transfer their household registration.
Cen Yan looked at the newly issued marriage certificate, then at the man beside her.
Qi Jingchuan was wearing a military uniform today, looking tall and handsome, like a pine tree standing tall, making it hard to look away.
"Ahem!" Qi Jingchuan coughed lightly. "Comrade Cen Yan, from now on we are comrades-in-arms in the same family. If I do anything wrong, please feel free to criticize me."
"Hello, comrade." Cen Yan was amused by his words and extended her hand. "Please take care of me in the future."
"Um."
The man held her hand in his large hand and couldn't help but think, "How come this woman's hands are so small?"
Leng Feng and the others were still squatting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After they came out, they stood there affectionately, shaking hands and looking into each other's eyes, smiling as they leaned closer, showing off their white teeth.
"Brother Chuan! Sister-in-law, congratulations on your marriage! How long are you going to keep this up? We're all starving. How about we go to the state-run restaurant for the wedding banquet?"
