"Okay, let me know in advance when the date is set. My colleagues and leaders at the hospital may not all be available at that time. You can just send some wedding candy. The hospital is busy anyway, so they may not be able to come."
The two of them sorted out everything while discussing what to do next.
Jiang Mengxue put all the cloth and dried meat she had left behind into the cupboard and put the ones she wanted to take home in her pockets. She didn't drink milk powder or malted milk, so she took them all back.
As for the bills, sort out all the ones you are going to buy, and ask Gu Qingbei to buy them all tomorrow. Put the rest away and sort them out later.
"Oh, there are two more letters. One is a marriage announcement, and the other is from my dad. He told me not to forget to visit my uncles and aunts at home, and not to miss out on the proper etiquette for marriage. He also asked us to discuss the engagement gift and the betrothal gift, and not to forget to prepare anything in advance.
I almost forgot, we haven’t discussed this yet.”
As he said this, he took out all his savings passbooks from the luggage he brought over yesterday morning.
"One is my allowance, and the other is from my parents. I save the money they send me every month in it. They said it's for me to get married."
Jiang Mengxue didn't pay much attention. When she opened one of the books, she saw nearly 20,000 yuan in savings. She thought it was his parents' savings over the years and was not surprised. After all, they had been in the army for decades, so it was normal for them to have some savings.
When I opened the other one and saw how much it was, I immediately lost my composure.
He looked up at Gu Qingbei: "Where did you get so much money?"
"My allowance and bonuses from missions are usually not spent in the army, so I save them.
The book you have in your hand belongs to my parents. The bulk of it is here, and my dad also has some. I was worried that they would need money urgently and wouldn't be able to contact me, so I saved some of it with him."
"Your parents must have quite a lot of salary to be able to save so much."
"My dad now receives a monthly allowance of 400 yuan, plus a 100 yuan military service allowance. He pays for party dues, rent, and provides monthly support to some military families and orphans of his comrades, so he always has quite a bit left over every month.
My mother earns over 180 yuan a month, and her military service allowance is 25%, which makes her over 200 yuan a month. I heard she's going to be promoted to the next level soon. However, my mother spends a lot of money. In the hospital, although most of the treatment is free, a small number of family members still have difficulties and can't afford food or drink. She will buy some nutritional supplements herself and send them to her.
Gu Qingbei came closer and said, "From now on, the financial power of our family will be handed over to you. Spend it as you like."
Jiang Mengxue didn't have time to deal with him anymore. She just wanted to put away all the passbooks quickly.
I used to think that a few hundred or a few thousand was already a lot nowadays, but I didn’t expect that she would get such a big sum all of a sudden.
The two got up early the next day and prepared to get their marriage certificate this morning.
Gu Qingbei was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night, and he kept pestering Jiang Mengxue so much that she couldn't sleep. In the second half of the night, she was so sleepy that she kicked him down.
In the morning, I had to wait until breakfast was ready before being woken up. I got up half asleep and half awake to wash and eat.
"Wife, let's eat quickly. If we go late, we'll have to queue."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even seven o'clock yet. They may not even be open even if you go there."
With Gu Qingbei's constant urging and Jiang Mengxue's procrastination, the two finally went out at 7:30.
The civil affairs department had just opened and the staff were still drinking tea. The two of them were considered early as everyone arrived at the working time.
Submitted identity certificate, marriage report, and filled in information.
The staff looked at the two of them a few times without saying much.
Nowadays, marriage certificates are made of the same size paper as award certificates, and the content on them is also handwritten. They include the names and dates of birth of the two people, and they are willing to get married. After review, it is found to comply with the provisions of the Blue Star Chinese People's Marriage Law, and the marriage is allowed. This certificate is specially issued.
It was done after the stamp was stamped, and sugar coupons and cloth coupons were also issued.
Because it was a military marriage, the number of bills issued was twice as much, and they were also given extra oil and cotton coupons.
Gu Qingbei smiled and handed over the wedding candies that had been prepared in advance. Each package contained nine fruit candies and nine milk candies. He gave one package to each staff member.
"Comrades are also happy."
The staff were also very happy as they rarely met such generous newlyweds.
"Thank you, thank you. Congratulations on your wedding and wish you a happy and happy baby soon."
He held the marriage certificate all the way and refused to let go, even when Jiang Mengxue wanted to put it away.
He took it all the way to the photo studio and asked the owner to frame it.
Jiang Mengxue was really afraid that he would ask someone to take it out and show it off. It would be too embarrassing to hang up the marriage certificate. She really couldn't do it.
"I agree with you framing it, but I absolutely do not agree with you hanging it on the wall of your home."
Gu Qingbei glanced down at Jiang Mengxue in confusion: "I don't plan to hang out at home."
Jiang Mengxue was also confused, wondering what was going on.
"I'm planning to take it back to the army. I plan to hang it in my dormitory or put it on my desk."
Jiang Mengxue smiled. She was really afraid of losing face. Who would do this?
"Let's go, go buy the cloth coupons you have sorted out, and use those with recent dates. You can use them as gifts or to make clothes for yourself.
I still haven't gotten my property certificate yet. Go to my second sister's place later. I told her I'd get it after the holidays."
"Okay." Gu Qingbei nodded reluctantly, not forgetting to take the marriage certificate.
