The car had already gone a long way out of the capital, but Chen Yuanwu was still smiling and in high spirits.
When he was silent, he couldn't help but laugh out loud whenever he thought of the conversation between Jiang Jun and Liu Yongzhi.
Chen Zhenbao couldn't stand it any longer: "Come on, we're just going out together, is it necessary to laugh like this? Even newlyweds aren't as happy as you!"
Chen Yuanwu thought that he had to treasure that conversation in his heart and not share it with anyone else.
However, he can first share another happy thing: "My situation is almost like a newlywed couple."
The Commander-in-Chief signed his marriage application in front of him and told him to submit it to the Political Department himself. According to normal procedures, it would take at least two weeks for it to be delivered to the Commander-in-Chief.
The remaining procedures will be completed when he returns from the grassland and he should be able to go to the logistics department to collect the keys.
Chen Zhenbao became interested: "Huh? What's the good news? Hurry up!"
Chen Yuanwu couldn't help but smile: "The commander-in-chief has specially approved my marriage application! But we can't have a wedding now. She's only eighteen."
"Special approval! Wow!" Except for Chen Zhenbao, the other soldiers in the car gathered around him. "Colonel Chen is awesome! Marry him a young wife! Treat us! Treat us!"
The Marriage Law stipulates that a woman must be at least 20 years old to obtain a marriage certificate, and marrying at the age of 22 is considered late.
These soldiers, let alone getting married late, cannot even find a partner as they stay in the barracks all year round. Most of them rush back to find a partner during their home leave. Friends, relatives, elders and leaders give them some opinions, and they decide whether to agree or not based on the first impression. They have no time to consider all aspects or cultivate feelings.
No matter who among the comrades gets married, he will become a reference and imitation target for others looking for wives.
Apart from serious and monotonous work, food, sex and love are the things that everyone talks about most.
Chen Yuanwu smiled and said, "It's no problem to treat her, but you should behave yourself. If you start a quarrel and scare her away, you won't be able to afford the compensation and become wifeless!"
Chen Zhenbao scoffed, "Just make it up! I've noticed you've become a bad person, and you're just spouting nonsense!"
"Strategy! Do you understand strategy?" Chen Yuanwu said sternly, "If you lie, you have to run away. If you get caught, you'll get beaten! Strategy can help you win the battle and get the beauty!"
One soldier said enviously, "Staff Officer Chen is really educated. He has a lot of theories about marrying a wife!"
Chen Zhenbao punched him: "Then quickly learn some strategies. If you want to use strategies, don't act recklessly!"
An old soldier laughed and said, "Get married. Sometimes brute force is very effective. We are dumb and can't talk, so we can't win over her. So we just rely on brute force."
Chen Zhenbao waved his hand: "Go away, you rough guy, go cool off. Our Chief of Staff Chen won't play that game!"
The old soldier grinned and said, "How can you have children without hard work? I tell you, women like..."
Several people sitting in the back of the car were talking and making jokes without any taboos, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
Jiang Jun, who was sleeping soundly in the back of another car, had no idea that these people had already regarded her as Chen Yuanwu's married wife.
In the 1970s, these simple-minded soldiers all went on blind dates with the goal of getting married. Those who had already registered their marriages were essentially settling into a lifelong relationship.
The convoy stopped to rest and Chen Yuanwu came over and knocked on the car door.
Jiang Jun squinted his eyes and opened the door from the inside. He rubbed his neck, which was a little stiff from sleeping. "What time is it? How long have I slept?"
Chen Yuanwu smiled. "It's almost five o'clock. You've only slept for four hours. Come down and walk around and have something to eat. They're checking the car again. We have to travel overnight."
Once you leave the capital and head north, there is no shade on the road. It is extremely hot during the day and extremely cool at night.
In the days when there were no car air conditioners, the strong sun during the day shone through the iron sheets, and the cab was like an oven. Few people could stand it.
Jiang Jun raised his arm and rolled his shoulders. "I didn't sleep well just now, and I bumped into the carriage board."
She hadn't slept well the whole night because of Jiang Lan's matter. The conversation with Liu Yongzhi in the morning, although only a dozen minutes, had exhausted her remaining energy. So she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, without even the strength to adjust her sleeping position.
Chen Yuanwu handed over the kettle: "Drink some water, let's go a little further and I'll give you a massage."
There are still two or three days of journey ahead, and we need to have enough physical strength to maintain a good mental state.
Jiang Jun took out her water cup from her bag, poured half a cup of water, and took a few small sips. Chen Yuanwu took the cup and drank the rest in one breath.
A few soldiers standing nearby, gathered together to observe their interaction, said with envy, "The young wife that Staff Officer Chen found is really different. She drinks water like she's sipping wine. She's so refined. No wonder Staff Officer Chen is so willing to find her."
The driver walked over to Siren and said, "You're mistaken! It's Staff Officer Chen's wife who has high standards. Staff Officer Chen has to fetch water, weave cloth, and cook. Oh, and she has to be pretty too!"
The old soldier who had said he wanted to do something reckless was shocked when he heard this: "Oh my god, Staff Officer Chen is going to be a farmhand! Old Xiang, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiang Siren said proudly, "I heard it with my own ears, it can't be wrong! Just wait and see. When we get back, we'll have Staff Officer Chen treat us to a meal. You'll know who's cooking!"
When these people heard this, they started talking at once:
"What's the background of Staff Officer Chen's young wife? Why is he so scared?"
"Staff Officer Chen is destroying the prestige of our equipment department!"
"Isn't Staff Officer Chen a scholar? How can a scholar be afraid of his wife? The scholars in the movies all have three wives and four concubines."
Chen Zhenbao hissed, "Alright, alright, they're coming. Don't say anything nonsense in front of his wife! His wife is very capable. If you want to find a wife in the future, you'll have to flatter Chief of Staff Chen!"
The group immediately stopped laughing and fell silent, just looking at Chen Yuanwu and Jiang Jun who were walking side by side.
Staff Officer Chen's father is the deputy commander and is a popular figure in front of the commander-in-chief. He usually does not act like a playboy in front of them, but is very approachable. After work, he often plays ball and jokes with them.
Therefore, they had to support Chief of Staff Chen at least a little!
How can a high-ranking military advisor be afraid of his wife?
Chen Yuanwu saw how everyone was acting, thinking they were trying to scare Xiaojun for him, without even asking what Xiaojun did. He waved them away, "Everyone, go eat your own food. I'll take Xiaojiang for a walk over there and meet up with you in half an hour!"
