When Shen Xingchen heard this, he was stunned.
He just wants to get married, why is it so difficult!
"Comrade, why don't you check again? My wife hasn't officially joined the army yet. This shouldn't be considered a military marriage, right?"
Shen Xingchen still wanted to argue for his point.
But the staff didn’t understand the specific situation, and the notice he received was that it was not okay.
The military had no obligation to explain to them.
But if they dare to violate the regulations and issue a marriage certificate to a soldier at random, they are breaking the law knowingly.
If any serious consequences occur, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be the first to bear the brunt and must take full responsibility!
Therefore, Shen Xingchen will definitely not be able to get the marriage certificate today.
The staff kindly reminded: "Why don't you go ask the troops? Anyway, it's definitely not possible here. Sorry."
The actual situation is that Mai Sui's political review happened to be passed yesterday, and Qi Chuanqing immediately asked someone to create a file for her.
Because Mai Sui is a special recruit, special matters are handled specially. Although she has not reported to the army yet, the military management regulations are still applicable to her.
After all, the files are there.
To take a step back, even if the file has not been created yet, you cannot get married casually during the political review period.
Mai Sui is a special forces soldier, not an ordinary soldier.
What if the enemy's special forces got hold of the intelligence in advance and wanted to trick Mai Sui into getting married at this critical moment in order to evade military scrutiny? The consequences would be serious.
According to regulations, after each soldier submits a marriage application, the army will send someone to conduct a secret investigation on their partner.
If there is no problem, then I will agree to get married.
If Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen got married today, the army would not be able to conduct an inspection of Shen Xingchen in advance.
So, of course, it has to be stuck.
In the army's view, if you are not an enemy spy, it doesn't matter if you get the certificate later, so why rush it now.
You said so, right?
Shen Xingchen: Bullshit!
The two came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Mai Sui shrugged: "It's God's will."
Shen Xingchen was flustered. He ignored the looks of passers-by, held Mai Sui's hand, and asked anxiously:
"Sui Sui, you will keep your promise and marry me, right?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, but I can't get the certificate now, there's nothing I can do. I'll go ask Qi Chuanqing another day."
Shen Xingchen made up his mind and said, "Okay! But we still have to get married. Let's have a wedding banquet first. The date has been set. This matter cannot be changed!"
He once heard Li Qiming say that many people in the village got married but never obtained a marriage certificate. They just held a wedding banquet and considered themselves married, and everyone acknowledged it.
Shen Xingchen could only settle for the second best and find a way out first.
So, the two of them went to the bank to withdraw money according to their original plan, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wedding candy.
However, since I don’t have a marriage certificate, I can only buy it with candy coupons.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. Yang Lin and Chen Chien gave him all the sugar coupons, and together with his own, he could buy a total of 15 kilograms of sugar.
Shen Xingchen bought some fruit hard candies, some White Rabbit milk candies, and Xu Fuji's crispy candies.
Afterwards, Shen Xingchen took Mai Sui to the department store to buy a watch and a radio.
Of course, you also need to buy new clothes to wear on your wedding day.
It is not popular to wear wedding dresses or suits when getting married these days. Most people are used to wearing shirts or Lenin suits.
Soldiers like to wear military uniforms when they get married, which is a supreme honor.
Mai Sui has not reported to the army yet, so naturally he doesn't have a military uniform.
It was a bit hot to wear a Lenin suit at that time, so Shen Xingchen bought a shirt for Mai Sui and bought a new one for himself.
The two of them also bought red silk to make bouquets.
There are also bright red bed sheets and pillowcases, bright red "囍" characters, etc., which are all indispensable.
When the two came out of the department store, it was time for lunch, so they went to Mai Xiangbei's house together and informed him to come back next Monday for the wedding banquet.
Of course, Shen Xingchen also bought some extra gifts.
Although Mai Xiangbei said no last time, as a junior, Shen Xingchen didn't have the nerve to do so.
But he was not as generous as when they first met. He is getting married now, so naturally he has to save money for his wife.
Lin Shuhua welcomed Shen Xingchen's arrival very much. After receiving the gift, she immediately locked it in the house to prevent Mai Xiangbei from causing trouble again.
Mai Xiangbei was busy asking his daughter Mai Lin to go to the cafeteria to get food, and didn't notice Lin Shuhua's little action at all.
Mai Lin took the serving bowl and asked Mai Xiangbei for money and food coupons.
But Mai Xiangbei was penniless now, having given all his money to Lin Shuhua, so he said, "Go ask your mother for it."
In consideration of the gift, Lin Shuhua gave Meilin two dollars for food.
Meilin pouted: "Mom, two dollars is not enough. Dad asked me to order a meat dish and a fish."
Lin Shuhua whispered, "Why eat fish? One meat dish is enough. I'll fry an egg here."
"But I want to eat fish. Dad said eating fish can make you smarter. I feel like my brain has been a little slow lately. No wonder Chengye doesn't pay much attention to me."
Hearing this, Lin Shuhua had no choice but to take out another two dollars and give it to Mai Lin: "Okay, okay, let's eat fish!"
Lin Shuhua now knows that her daughter likes Lu Chengye, and to be honest, she also hopes that this will succeed.
But at the moment, the situation is not clear.
During the meal, Mai Lin suddenly saw the watch on Mai Sui's wrist and asked in surprise, "Is this an imported watch? Is it very expensive?"
I saw that Chengye brother was also wearing one on his hand, it seemed to be from the same brand."
Shen Xingchen felt a pang in his heart when he heard this. If he had known this would happen, he would not have bought the Omega but the Longines.
Wearing the same badge as Lu Chengye is really unlucky!
Lu Chengye: ...Who did I offend? You have already taken my wife away from me, what else do you want?
Mai Sui said calmly: "It's okay, it's not very expensive, it just depends on the time."
I have to say, Mai Sui's nonchalant and indifferent tone was really well-acted.
Mai Lin was so envious and jealous that her eyes were almost glued to Mai Sui's watch.
She wanted Mai Sui to take it down for her to try, but Mai Sui replied directly, "No."
Really no face at all.
Mai Lin was very angry, and finally Mai Xiangbei came out to smooth things over: "This was bought by your brother-in-law for your cousin, what are you looking at?
I have a Plum brand watch here. I'll show it to you. Be careful not to break it. Remember to return it to me after you're done. It's not a gift for you."
Mailin was just about to say that since Mai Sui had a watch, she wanted one too, even if it wasn't imported.
As a result, Mai Xiangbei predicted her behavior and retorted in advance.
After Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen left, Mai Xiangbei found Lin Shuhua and asked her why Mai Lin had become so competitive recently.
Not only that, he also discovered that Mylin had actually learned how to put on makeup, and the lipstick she applied was so scary, as if she had just eaten a child.
Lin Shuhua curled her lips: "My daughter is a grown-up girl now, it's normal for her to like beauty. You are a grown-up man, what do you know!"
"Then you still have to keep an eye on her and don't let her learn bad things." Mai Xiangbei was a little worried.
"I understand." Lin Shuhua said casually.
