In the afternoon, Wen Nuan took a leave and did not go to work. Wang Jianshe took her to the village committee to ask the village chief for a marriage certificate.
The village chief was surprised to see Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan coming together.
"Jianshe, why are you here with Wen Zhiqing?"
"Uncle, this is my partner! I came back from vacation to get married. My marriage report has been approved. Xiao Nuan needs you to issue a marriage certificate. We will go to get the certificate tomorrow!"
"What? Marriage? When did you start dating?"
"Uncle, we started dating last winter, and now that Xiao Nuan is old enough, we plan to get married."
"Oh, not bad, not bad. Wen Zhiqing is a good girl. You are quite quick!"
"Haha, then we have to hurry up!"
"Okay, uncle will give you a certificate right away!"
The village chief took out a piece of paper and an official seal, and with a few strokes, he wrote out the certificate. He handed it to Wang Jianshe and said, "You must treat Wen Zhiqing well in the future!"
"I will, uncle! Come over to have a drink on the day of the wedding!"
"Okay, then we must go!"
Except for greeting the village chief when she entered the door, Wen Nuan just stood there shyly the rest of the time, allowing her partner to communicate with the village chief.
After getting the certificate, Wang Jianshe took Wen Nuan away from the village committee.
In the evening, Wen Nuan had dinner at Wang Jianshe's house. Wang Fugui and Zhao Chunhua already had a good impression of Wen Nuan. The communication during dinner made them have a more thorough understanding of Wen Nuan and liked her even more. Needless to say, Wang Xiaomei liked Wen Nuan very much, so everyone was happy with the dinner in the evening!
After dinner, Wang Jianshe sent Wen Nuan back to the educated youth center. Because he had to get up early the next morning to go to the town to get the marriage certificate, Wang Jianshe did not stay with Wen Nuan for too long and let her go into the house to rest early.
Knowing that Wen Nuan was going to get the marriage certificate the next day, Xie Sufang and the others went to bed early. But Wen Nuan was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She lay in the bed with Fei Fei, chatting non-stop, and she didn't even know when she fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, Xie Sufang called Wen Nuan, "Xiao Nuan, hurry up, Comrade Wang is waiting for you outside the door!"
"Ah, so early?" Wen Nuan climbed out of the bed with messy hair, quickly changed clothes and washed up, and got herself ready in ten minutes.
Under the teasing gazes of Xie Sufang and the others, Wen Nuan shyly opened the door. Wang Jianshe, wearing a neat military uniform, was standing upright outside the door, smiling at him.
She smiled softly and warmly at the man who looked exceptionally handsome today.
Wen Nuan was wearing new clothes today which Xie Sufang had just made for her a few days ago. She wore a white shirt on the upper body and a light green long skirt on the lower body. It made Wen Nuan's figure look more slender and the whole person look more beautiful, especially her slender waist that could be held in one hand. Wang Jianshe felt his body tighten when he saw her and he wished he could hold her tightly in his arms!
"Still looking? Let's go!" Seeing that Wang Jianshe seemed to be stunned, Wen Nuan said coquettishly.
"Let's go!" Wang Jianshe came back to his senses and pulled Wen Nuan towards the bicycle he borrowed. A thick cushion was tied to the back seat of the bicycle. Wen Nuan felt even sweeter when she saw her partner's thoughtful behavior.
Riding a bicycle is faster than walking. It takes nearly three hours to walk, but only one hour to ride a bicycle. When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was just 7:30 in the morning and people were not at work yet.
Wang Jianshe drove Wen Nuan directly to the state-owned restaurant. It was a rare day when wontons were available, so the two of them ordered a bowl of wontons each and bought four steamed buns, and had a full breakfast.
After dinner, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau again. It was already open for work, and they both walked in nervously.
The staff was making preparations before the start of work. Wang Jianshe saw that no one was paying attention, so he quietly squeezed the little subject's hand, then immediately let go and said loudly: "Comrade, let's get the certificate!"
When the staff heard the voice and looked up, they were stunned for a moment by this talented couple. The man was tall and mighty in a military uniform, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked energetic. The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, and a beautiful face, like a little bird.
What a perfect match they are, rarely seen in normal times!
"Okay, come and sit over here!" the staff said kindly.
The two followed the staff's instructions and sat down in front of the workbench. They took out their marriage report and marriage certificate and handed them to the staff. Then, according to the staff's questions, they told the staff their names, ages, household registration information, etc. The staff wrote them on a piece of paper like a small certificate. Finally, after checking the information, they stamped it with a large steel seal.
"Congratulations to you two!" The staff member handed the marriage certificate to Wang Jianshe with a smile.
"Thank you!" Wang Jianshe's eyes were filled with smiles. He quickly took out a package containing wedding candies that he had bought in advance. He grabbed two handfuls of wedding candies and placed them on the workbench. "This is our wedding candy. Let's give it to our comrades to sweeten their mouths!"
"Thank you, thank you!" The staff looked at the small pile of candies and smiled so hard that their teeth were not visible. It was rare to see such generous newlyweds.
The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their marriage certificate. Standing at the door, Wang Jianshe took out the marriage certificate again, looked at the small certificate, and smiled with his big white teeth showing.
Wen Nuan looked at his silly look and burst out laughing, "Silly or not? Put it away quickly!"
"You have to keep it. I'll frame it and hang it in our house later!" Wang Jianshe folded the marriage certificate with a smile and put it in his pocket.
"What do we do next?"
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy you two sets of clothes. Then you can see if there's anything else you need and we'll buy that!"
"Goodbye, Sister Sufang made me two sets of clothes a few days ago, and I bought new clothes, one for you and one for me. We have also basically bought everything else, so there is no need to buy anything today. After we go to the army, we will see what we need and buy whatever we need!"
"No, that won't work. You bought what you bought. I just want to buy you new clothes today!"
After saying that, Wang Jianshe pulled Wen Nuan to the supply and marketing cooperative. It happened that the supply and marketing cooperative had just received new goods today, and a few new skirts had just been put on the ready-made clothing section. Seeing that Wang Jianshe insisted that she buy some clothes, Wen Nuan bought two new skirts, one goose yellow and one white with red spots. She also bought some fruit candies to keep as wedding candy on the wedding day.
The town is not big and there are no entertainment places. After buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wen Nuan urged Wang Jianshe to take her back to the village.
After returning to the youth cadre center, the two of them stayed together for a while. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Wang Jianshe left the youth cadre center.
After that, Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan never met again until they got married.
In the warmth, excitement and trepidation, the wedding day arrived...
