"Does that mean we can't even give them gifts?"
After all, Commander Qin was the one who brought them together to get married, so they should at least show some respect, right?
"Didn't we just get married?"
"We can send wedding candies and cakes to Commander Qin's family."
Sang Feiyu understood, "That's good."
She felt a little guilty for not giving anything in return.
Ning Zhiyuan glanced at the time. "We still have time. How about we go to the commune to buy some ingredients and take them back? I'll go tell them to come over for dinner tomorrow night."
Sang Feiyu estimated the time, "The package my grandma mailed for me should arrive soon."
“I remember my grandma also prepared some dried goods for me. I’ll see if I need anything else and then go to the commune to buy it tomorrow.”
"Besides, meat doesn't keep well. What if it goes bad tomorrow if I buy it today?"
Ning Zhiyuan replied, "That's fine. I'll go with you to buy whatever you need."
As soon as the two returned to the military region, they heard their guard announce, "Comrade Sang, there is a package for you."
"OK, thanks."
Ning Zhiyuan took Sang Feiyu to pick up the packages. There were two packages in total, each weighing about fifty or sixty pounds.
Sang Feiyu originally planned to carry one for each of them, but Ning Zhiyuan picked one up in each hand. She asked worriedly, "Do you need my help?"
"Need not."
"Just follow me." Ning Zhiyuan said, putting one of the packages into his other hand and freeing one hand to hold Sang Feiyu's hand.
Generally speaking, married couples rarely hold hands in public.
But Ning Zhiyuan was already a dying man, so why would he have any such concerns?
He wished he could be glued to Sang Feiyu 24/7!
Sang Feiyu whispered, "So many people are watching us."
Ning Zhiyuan said confidently, "We're a legitimate married couple, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Battalion Commander Ning, Comrade Sang, what's in those two packages?" someone gossiped, their eyes practically glued to the packages.
"The blankets and such were wedding gifts sent to me by my maternal grandmother."
When everyone heard that it was a wedding quilt or something, they understood why the package was so big.
"Your grandma is so good to you," someone said with genuine envy.
However, some people couldn't stand it. "Comrade Sang, don't blame me for being nosy, but isn't it a bit too much for you two to hold hands in broad daylight?"
"As far as I know, you've only applied for marriage and aren't officially husband and wife yet. Shouldn't you be a little careful?"
Once the old lady started, the others couldn't help but chime in, "That's right, it doesn't matter if we didn't see what you were doing in secret, but holding hands in public is a bit too much."
If it weren't for Ning Zhiyuan's position, they would have said even more offensive things.
Sang Feiyu wasn't angry. She simply pulled out a marriage certificate and waved it in front of them, asking, "You can all read, right?"
"It's okay if you can't read. Let me introduce you: Ning Zhiyuan, male, 25 years old; Sang Feiyu, female, 20 years old; you are voluntarily getting married..."
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed instantly.
"You two have gotten your marriage certificate?"
Congratulations!
"When will you hold your wedding banquet? We'd love to come and have a drink with you and share in the joy."
Sang Feiyu thought to herself that even if she were to hold a wedding banquet, she wouldn't invite these gossipy women, but she didn't say that. "We'll talk about it later."
She gave a vague answer and slowly walked away, holding Ning Zhiyuan's hand.
Unbeknownst to them, someone nearby, upon hearing the news of their marriage registration, showed a flicker of surprise on their face—
