The train’s intranet was buzzing with activity.
"Can we get married? I was shocked when I heard that."
"What law forbids marriage? As long as they want to."
"But is it necessary? We can't have children anyway. The essence of marriage is reproduction. If that's the case, what's the point of it existing?"
"The above is superficial. The essence of marriage is that two people live together and find comfort in each other. Offspring are just an unexpected byproduct. People need pursuits and they also need family. Without family, they will gradually feel empty."
"It's actually more fun not to get married, changing girlfriends every day. Now you're still trying to tie yourself down with marriage, it's just looking for trouble."
"It's a matter of opinion. If two people love each other deeply, marriage can help them support each other. I heard that Zhou Wudao and Lin Yao have known each other for hundreds of years. Their relationship is beyond your imagination."
"Lin Yao died in battle once, and after waking up, she forgot a lot. Although she's using a clone now, Brother Zhou doesn't dislike her. If I could meet a man like this, I would definitely marry him."
"What a coincidence, I am this kind of man, do you know me upstairs?"
"Get lost! Everyone knows what kind of person you are."
…
"Will the conductor agree to this? After all, there has never been a precedent for marriage."
"The guy above is an idiot! Is marriage a new thing? How many Sky Witches brought their families with them when they boarded the train? There were also quite a few Wild Bloods who boarded the train and then got married. It's just that it wasn't made public so you didn't know."
"That's right. Although there's no wedding ceremony, many people have actually secretly established de facto marriages. The reason this caused a stir is because the two people's identities are unusual."
"Marriage is ultimately a bondage. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. One person eats and drinks well, goes wherever he wants, goes out when he wants to do a task, and comes back to sleep when he doesn't want to do a task. No one owes anyone anything."
However, what this person didn't know was that what Chen An needed was restraint.
If everyone had his casual mindset, the army would have disbanded long ago.
Looking at things from different perspectives will give you different ideas.
Chen An is the most powerful ruler in the train. His vision must be the entire train, not the feelings of a few people.
So half a day later, an announcement caused a huge sensation.
[A new marriage department has been added to the train, allowing any passenger to register for marriage, regardless of race or identity, but only one registration is allowed and multiple people are not allowed]
[Couples will be given the right to adopt two children, with the train covering half of the child support costs. Existing couples will be automatically certified and receive similar benefits.]
[Couples get half the rent and free transportation]
[Couples are entitled to keep pets, but each person can only have one place]
[A collective wedding will be held on the train in seven days, with the train conductor personally presiding and offering blessings]
Those interested in getting married can apply now. Please note that marriage will result in official train certification, which cannot be revoked within ten years. Please consider carefully.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and countless people expressed their opinions on the Internet, some supporting and some opposing, each with their own reasons.
"What's the mentality of those who oppose it? I'm not forcing you."
"My boyfriend and I have been together for two hundred years. Isn't it unreasonable to get an official certificate?"
"The rules are very clear. Only those who are willing can apply. If you are not willing, you are not forced to register. If you are not willing to register, others are willing."
"I'll watch the show, you guys do whatever you want."
Overall, 60% of people are watching from the sidelines and don't care about these trivial matters.
Thirty percent of people agree that they are in a relationship and want official recognition. Plus, the benefits offered by the train can significantly reduce the pressure of life, so why not join?
The rest disagreed, believing that this would infringe upon their original rights.
But whether you agree or not, the document from the Marriage Department has been issued, and it is a done deal that cannot be changed.
…
"Didn't you say you didn't want to get married?"
Zishu walked to the cockpit of the Fuyao train with a resentful look in her eyes.
Chen An was sitting in the driver's seat checking the list of people who had applied, and he said casually, "Pour your own tea, I'm busy! I didn't expect that Yang Yuan had submitted his application."
"Their relationship has lasted three hundred years, and it hasn't broken down yet. It shows how deeply they love each other. Hey, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Zishu walked to the side and drank water directly from Chen An's teacup, and immediately frowned.
"You drink such bitter tea?"
"There's too much going on. Although I'm not physically tired, I'm mentally exhausted. Plus, sometimes I have to divide my attention with other people, which is a bit stressful. Regarding the issue you mentioned, I..."
Zishu reached out and covered Chen An's mouth, smiling gently.
"I already have the answer, no need to tell me. Do you always give Violet and Eve mental strings? Hmm, why don't you give me one?"
Chen An said helplessly, "They always want it, so I can't refuse. If you don't want it, I definitely won't force you. Besides, you are very independent, how can I force you? Hey, Yu Guan also submitted an application, it seems he is serious."
Zi Shu asked with a smile, "If you're also going to submit an application, who are you going to register with? Let me make it clear first, even the train conductor has to abide by the law. It clearly states that only one person can be registered."
"With you, okay?"
Zi Shu chuckled and said, "What about Fei Yi Qian Qiu and the others? You must be reluctant to let them go. Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Chen An thought of Luo Qingxia. If only one candidate could be nominated, it would most likely be her.
As for the current promise, it is more like a joke.
Thinking of this, Chen An felt guilty and hugged Zishu tightly.
"sorry!"
"You haven't done anything wrong to me, so why should you apologize? In fact, in my eyes, you're already very outstanding. I've come into contact with many train conductors in the Star Domain Network before. After gaining power, they became unscrupulous and kept countless women. Overall, you're the only one who respects everyone. But that excludes Tiejian."
Chen An raised his eyebrows: "That kid should succeed, otherwise I will erect a monument for him. Haha, when we get out, I will erect a monument for him on the main road. I'm sure he will have a wonderful expression when he sees it."
"That's if he shows any expression. I'll check the list to see if there are any more acquaintances."
The two of them looked through the application list together, occasionally exclaiming.
Many people who they think are eccentric are actually willing to bind themselves in marriage.
Zi Shu said, "It's not necessarily about being bound, but more about finding a home for one's soul. The universe is so vast, and the future is so uncertain. Many people feel extremely empty. Only when they have a family can they find a spiritual haven. Where will the wedding be held?"
"Each train will choose a park. If the number of people is too large, we can add more. I'll host it online and just say a few words. Do you have a better idea?"
Zi Shu curled her lips: "It's not like I'm getting married, why should I treat them so well? I'll be jealous."
Group weddings are just one aspect, there's so much more going on these days.
Organize entertainment activities to relax passengers.
Various competitions are then held with generous prizes for them to compete for, most of which are traditional train events.
Some exhibitions will also be held, including food exhibitions, technology exhibitions, company promotions, etc.
In short, the eight trains should show vitality to passengers as much as possible, and keep them looking towards hope even in such an environment.
(The marriage plot is only for the novel, don’t apply it to reality. The author doesn’t want to get married even when he is 30 years old)
