Chapter 27 Getting a Certificate
Gu Yuan was not as calm as he appeared at this moment. Being in the same car with the little girl, especially when he leaned close to her and smelled the sweet scent on her, he felt his heart soften, but also beat like thunder.
If someone knows him well enough, they will notice that his seatbelt-fastening movements are no longer as steady and quick as usual. If you are careful enough, you will also notice that his hands are shaking a little when he fastens the seatbelt...
After finally fastening Lu Chiyu's seatbelt, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, are you hungry? If so, how about we go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch?"
The heat on Lu Chiyu's face had just subsided a little, and he nodded after hearing this: "Okay."
The state-owned hotel was very close to the train station, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, what would you like to eat?" Gu Yuan asked Lu Chiyu first while looking at the dishes on the blackboard.
Lu Chiyu: "I'm not picky about food. I like anything as long as it's meat."
Gu Yuan almost couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard her childish words.
The people around were stunned when they heard Lu Chiyu say that as long as it was meat, and that she was not picky.
But what shocked them even more was that Gu Yuan said to the waiter the next moment: "Comrade, give us a portion of all the meat dishes above, plus a plate of stir-fried cabbage. The staple food is white rice, and another plate of clam soup."
Lu Chiyu was also shocked by the soldier's generosity. She thought the waiter would question her like she had encountered before, asking her if she could finish the food and why she ordered so much.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't have any at all, but actually agreed with a smile, and then asked: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, do you want to give me military tickets?"
Gu Yuan nodded: "Yeah."
Lu Chiyu: So that’s the charm of military notes.
After paying the bill, they found a table by the window.
Lu Chiyu: "Comrade Gu Yuan, shall we go get the marriage certificate after dinner?"
Gu Yuan was just about to sit down when he heard these words and was so startled by the girl's initiative that he almost dropped his seat.
"Are you okay?" Lu Chiyu asked with concern.
"Hehe, it's okay. Do you want to get the certificate today?" Gu Yuan confirmed.
"Well, our marriage report has been approved, right? If it's approved, can we get the marriage certificate?"
Seeing Lu Chiyu's frank face, Gu Yuan suddenly felt that he was being too pretentious.
Yes, the marriage report has been approved, so why hesitate? So he nodded immediately: "Then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate after dinner."
As soon as these words were spoken, the waiter brought up clam soup and saved Captain Gu from embarrassment.
"Try this clam soup. The clam soup in this state-owned restaurant is famous for its freshness and sweetness." Gu Yuan said as he served the soup to Lu Chiyu.
Lu Chiyu's eyes lit up immediately after taking a sip. The soup was indeed clear and sweet. After drinking it, he seemed to feel a lot more energetic.
She nodded repeatedly and praised: "Mmm, this soup is delicious. Only in this island city can you eat such delicious seafood."
Seeing that Lu Chiyu liked it and her words were full of love for the island, Gu Yuan was also happy and filled her bowl again: "If it tastes good, drink more. There is nothing else here, but the most seafood."
Then other dishes came up one after another, and Captain Gu was very busy helping Lu Chiyu pick up various dishes, peel shrimps, and even pick out fish bones, which Lu Chiyu could not refuse.
The two of them attracted countless eyes from the surroundings. Everyone was shocked at Gu Yuan's Twenty-Four Filial Piety-style service, and also at their appetites.
Although Gu Yuan ordered all the meat dishes in the restaurant, everything was scarce at that time and there were actually only seven meat dishes and four seafood dishes.
Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan both have big appetites, so the whole table of food was actually finished by the time they left.
As soon as they left the store, there was a loud explosion.
A young lesbian said with sparkling eyes, "That soldier comrade just now doted on his girlfriend so much. Seeing how doting he is makes me want to find a partner."
A middle-aged man disagreed: "What's good about that? That young couple is such a glutton. They'd eat so much that they'd bankrupt even if they had mountains of gold and silver."
An old lady said, "It's okay that the man is a soldier, soldiers eat a lot, but it's shocking that a little girl can eat so much. My God, not everyone can afford to support a wife who eats so much."
“…”
Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan had no idea of the shock they had caused. After getting in the car, they headed straight for the Haimin Civil Affairs Bureau.
The Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau was a very simple two-story building. When they entered, they found that there was no one inside.
Lu Chiyu then realized that she was so anxious to get married that she had forgotten that the people in her group had already left work. She said awkwardly, "Comrade Gu Yuan, it seems the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau have already left work. How about we come back next time?"
As soon as she finished her words, she saw a middle-aged woman in a business suit coming down from upstairs. She said with a smile, "Young comrade, what are you waiting for next time? Your partner is a soldier, so we have a special service channel for him. Look, I'm the one staying on duty today."
There is such a good thing. Lu Chiyu looked at Gu Yuanjiuwen and sure enough, he nodded.
"Aunt Qin, please help us get a marriage certificate." Gu Yuan said to the middle-aged woman.
"Hahaha...it's a small matter, a small matter. Xiao Gu, your Commander Xie personally called our bureau and repeatedly told us that when we saw you coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau, we must help you to get your marriage certificate as soon as possible. We can't do this little thing, and we will be embarrassed to see your Commander Ye in the future." The middle-aged woman laughed.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be an acquaintance, and that Commander Xie actually called the Civil Affairs Bureau in person to inquire about her and Gu Yuan's marriage, Lu Chiyu's face finally turned red.
More than ten minutes later, they received two freshly issued marriage certificates!
There were really two of them. The marriage certificate at that time was as simple as the award certificate issued by Lu Chiyu's school in his previous life. There was not even a photo on it, only some simple personal information.
But even with such a simple piece of paper, her soldier treasured it as if it were an imperial decree. He carefully folded it in half and placed it in the document bag where he kept his ID...
Lu Chiyu was originally quite excited when she saw the marriage certificate as it was her first marriage in her two lives. But when she saw that the soldier was obviously more nervous than her, she wanted to laugh instantly.
The middle-aged woman, having completed the certificate, looked as if she had accomplished some important task. She said to them happily, "Xiao Gu, Xiao Lu, take care. Aunt Qin would like to congratulate you on your happy marriage and wish you a long and happy life together."
Lu Chiyu smiled and gave the other person two handfuls of White Rabbit candies: "Aunt Cheng, you are so kind. I will treat you to some wedding candy."
"Haha, I'll accept the wedding candy." The middle-aged woman did not refuse.
When they got back to the car, Gu Yuan asked, "Are you going anywhere else? If not, let's go to the department store and buy some things.
The army has assigned us a two-bedroom apartment. We need to buy some things before we can move in. The army is quite remote and doesn't have many things. We need to buy them now, otherwise it will be difficult for you to go into the city next time I go to work."
Lu Chiyu was very happy to hear that he had been assigned a house: "Then let's go. I love decorating a new home the most."
When Gu Yuan heard Lu Chiyu talking about home, his heartbeat couldn't help but get out of control again. His heartbeat, which had never calmed down since he got the marriage certificate, now accelerated by two beats.
Thinking of something, he took out three envelopes from the file bag and handed them to Lu Chiyu: "This is the betrothal gift from your parents, this is the red envelope from your grandfather, and this is the red envelope from your eldest brother."
Lu Chiyu took it with a confused look on his face: "Why are grandpa and the others so polite?"
Gu Yuan: "Grandpa and the others said this is a must-have etiquette for men. Open it and take a look."
