Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

Setting foot on Tianning's land again, Jiang Yan felt it was a little unreal.

So many things happened during this period of time that even after she and Si Lu got their marriage certificate, she was still a little dazed and felt like she was dreaming.

Is it because the summer sun is too dazzling? Why does she feel like she is dreaming?

Si Lu was holding the freshly-issued, still-warm marriage certificate, his mouth almost raised to his ears. The cold-faced King of Hell was not worried at all about the collapse of his image, and all he could think about was that he had finally married Jiang Yan and brought the girl he had been thinking about home.

The more Si Lu thought about it, the happier he became. "Wife, let's celebrate by having a good meal."

His voice was so loud that people around him couldn't help but look over at them.

Jiang Yan quickly pulled him aside, took the marriage certificate and took a closer look at it.

Marriage certificates in this era are made like award certificates, with only names and no photos. But think about it, there should be no fake certificates these days. When a couple travels to stay away from home, even if they have a marriage certificate, they must also have a letter of introduction. Two pieces of evidence can prove their identity without a photo.

"Si Lu, let's go take a couple of pictures."

Si Lu looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Okay, take a few more pictures, and send two to your family as well."

"Send another telegram to your uncle and aunt to tell them." This is a big deal.

Si Lu looked serious, his eyes fell on the marriage certificate, "Comrade Jiang Yan, I have to criticize you. You are already married, it is not appropriate to call them uncle and aunt, isn't it time for you to change your words?"

Jiang Yan took the marriage certificate and said, "Then let's talk about it after we meet in person. You can't ask me to send a telegram to change my mind, right?"

“You can call.”

"Call?" Jiang Yan glared, "How can I call out over the phone line?" It's embarrassing just thinking about it.

"Okay, okay, no need to call. Let's go take some pictures first, and then I have to rush to the logistics department to get our little home ready."

Si Lu has limited vacation time, but now that he has obtained the marriage certificate, he should be able to get two days of marriage leave.

"Okay, let's take some pictures first."

The two went to a photo studio, originally thinking that they could take pictures as soon as they arrived, but they didn't expect the photo studio's business to be so popular. It cost 80 cents to take a picture, and they had to wait a week to get it, but there was still an endless stream of people taking pictures.

The two waited in line for half a day before they were able to take wedding photos of this era.

A bench, two people sitting side by side, with a curtain behind them.

Photo studios in this era were all state-owned, and photographers were paid very well. Before taking a photo, apprentices would come to help them find angles, pose, and do everything they could to make the customers smile more naturally.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is very pleasing to the eyes. The photographer tried to find the most exquisite composition for them and kept adjusting the angles of the two.

"Lesbians, please move closer to the gays."

"Yes, lean your head a little closer, okay, smile."

"Master, we want to take more pictures. Please change the screen for us."

"Good."

The photographer picked a picture of a landscape as a background, "How about this one?"

"It's good." There aren't many choices anyway.

The two stood in front of the curtain, holding the prop red book in their hands, and took two more photos.

When the photos are developed later, there will probably be a line of small words on them: June 1973, 6, wedding anniversary photo.

After taking the photos, I paid and took the receipt. The other party also reminded me, "Come back and pick it up in seven days."

Maybe because they took a lot of photos and even had a few of them developed, the waiter's attitude was quite nice.

After taking the photos, the two went to the post office and sent a telegram to their family with only four words on it: Register for marriage.

When she walked out of the post office, Jiang Yan finally realized that she was now a beautiful married woman, not even twenty years old.

Women!

Well, when she died in her previous life, she was also an unmarried woman. In both lives combined, this was the first time she realized the destructive power of this title.

It was too much for her to calm down.

"What's wrong?" Si Lu saw that she was in a trance and thought she was not feeling well.

"It's okay. I just still can't accept my new identity. I feel like this marriage was too sudden."

In fact, most of the folk customs of weddings and funerals are still preserved. Ordinary people ask matchmakers to come to their homes to propose marriage, set the betrothal gifts and the wedding date, and then they can prepare for the wedding.

In some places, even the step of obtaining a marriage certificate is omitted. In their view, a marriage certificate is just a piece of paper and is of no use.

In the countryside, only those who hold a wedding banquet and receive the blessings of the villagers are considered a real couple. In the countryside, if there is no such condition, the groom will drive a car or ride a bicycle to the bride's home to pick her up. The bride will carry a small bag and sit on the back seat of the bicycle, and then she will be considered a member of the husband's family.

If the conditions permit in the city, the workers will give face to the bride. When picking up the bride, they will borrow a few bicycles, put on a big red flower, and take the bride to the groom's home. The couple will also hold a ceremony, sing red songs, perform some shows, and always treat relatives and friends to a meal.

But their conditions did not allow it! The man's family was in the capital, and the woman's family had no relatives, so if they wanted to hold a wedding banquet and a ceremony, they could only do it in the army.

But Si Lu is the head of the group, so it is not good to be too ostentatious.

"I'll take care of everything!" Si Lu knew that Jiang Yan might be a little worried about her future life. She was alone, without any relatives or friends around her, and suddenly became a military wife following the army. It might be difficult for her to adapt.

"The house needs to be cleaned up, the furniture needs to be prepared, and some daily necessities need to be prepared. There are a lot of messy things!" Jiang Yan glared at him, "Shall we go take a look at the furniture?"

"go!"

The two of them went to the furniture market with great interest.

There are only a few styles of furniture and not many finished products, so you have to measure the size and make sure it can fit in your home before you buy.

If you want to make a custom order, you have to make an appointment. After the furniture is finished, it needs to be painted and aired. I don’t know when I can move into the new house.

"Thank you, Master. We will go back and measure the size."

The two walked around the mall and bought no big items, but a lot of small things.

As a bride, you always have to buy two sets of clothes.

Jiang Yan doesn't like bright red, as she feels that she will never wear it again except for marriage. She picked two sets of blouses, one with floral patterns and one with red and white plaid. The colors are bright and festive.

After buying the skirt, you also have to buy a pair of sandals. The calfskin shoes are comfortable to wear and do not hurt the feet. A pair costs twelve yuan. For an ordinary family, this pair of shoes will cost ten days' salary. They will definitely think about it for several days before they can afford to buy it.

But Jiang Yan and Si Lu were not short of money, so when the two of them bought things, they really didn't even blink an eye.

Jiang Yan wanted to buy two sets of clothes for Si Lu as well, but he said that he was usually in the army and didn't need to wear new clothes, so she forced him not to buy them.
