Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 12 Submitting a Marriage Report

He had heard Sheng Zexi say that in the Northwest Military Region, when winters were very cold, heavy snow blocked the mountains, making movement difficult and supplies scarce.

Although a specific wedding date has not yet been set, Gu Yunnan felt that the latest possible date would be within the next two weeks. After all, Sheng Zexi, as a soldier, rarely had a vacation, but he couldn't stay for too long.

Two weeks later, Sheng Zexi took his younger sister to the Northwest Military Region. It would soon be the coldest time of year there, so they had to prepare for her in advance.

In another room of the west wing lived Gu Yunzhou, the third son of the Gu family who was still unmarried.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he was counting his money, planning to visit the black market in the county town whenever he had free time. His younger sister liked sparkly jewelry, and he planned to secretly buy some to give to her when she got married.

Gu Jianing, who was on everyone's mind, was wrapped in a blanket and slept soundly in the cold night, not feeling cold at all.

She jumped into the river in the dead of winter, but she hasn't fully recovered yet, so she still needs to go to bed early and try to get better as soon as possible.

There was another person whose heart was also burning with passion: Sheng Zexi, who was furiously writing his marriage application in the hotel.

Today, after leaving Huaihua Village and returning to the county town, he began purchasing items for the engagement and the wedding dowry.

The "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three rings and a watch) are a must, and Sheng Zexi prepared five hundred yuan as a bride price.

Of course, that's what's on the surface. Privately, he plans to find some time to give Ningning his savings account and all the wages he's saved up over the years since he joined the army.

He knew that little girl; she had a bit of a love for money.

After waking up, Sheng Zexi first went to the post office to mail his marriage application, and then made a phone call to Brigade Commander Zheng, the leader of the military region, to inform him that he had submitted his marriage application.

"You little rascal, you finally realize you want to get married. Okay, once your marriage application arrives, as long as there aren't any major problems, I'll approve it."

After hanging up the phone, Brigade Commander Zheng, who was far away in the Northwest Military Region office, was filled with emotion.

He clenched his right fist and slammed it hard into his left palm, a look of joy on his face.

Sheng Zexi was the most capable soldier under his command. He had won the title of "King of Soldiers" several times and had accumulated a lot of military merits at a young age. He was now a battalion commander. However, Brigade Commander Zheng knew that if it weren't for Sheng Zexi's father suppressing him, Sheng Zexi might have become a regimental commander.

Brigade Commander Zheng probably knew about the conflict between Sheng Zexi and his father, which explains why Sheng Zexi developed such an unruly personality.

Although he is unruly and sharp-tongued, he often gets so angry with his words that he's practically dying.

But Brigade Commander Zheng knew that Sheng Zexi was a good person.

When Sheng Zexi was injured and had health problems, he was really worried that the kid would stay single for life. After all, he had introduced him to several blind dates, but the kid refused without hesitation.

It wasn't that there weren't girls in the military region who liked him. Many of the military wives' relatives or girls from the cultural troupe liked Sheng Zexi, and many even bravely confessed their feelings and pursued him, but Sheng Zexi just spit them out with his words.

He thought this guy would never get married, but unexpectedly, he met him while taking leave, and immediately filed for marriage. Judging from the guy's tone, he was obviously genuinely in love.

"I hope that girl and Sheng can live happily ever after."

Sheng Zexi hung up the phone with Commander Zheng and then made another call to his maternal grandparents' home in Beijing.

"Hello, who is it?" A kind but gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Sheng Zexi immediately pictured the person's loving face.

"Grandma, it's me, Xiaoxi." The usually arrogant Sheng Zexi spoke in a rare gentle tone, his voice filled with joy, "I'm planning to get married."

"What?! Xiao Xi?! You're planning to get married?!" Grandma Sang exclaimed in surprise. Grandpa Sang, who was wearing glasses and writing data, stopped writing when he heard that it was his grandson Sheng Zexi calling. He pricked up his ears and stood up when he heard the second half of the sentence. He quickly walked to his wife's side, leaned closer, and wanted to listen to the phone call as well.

Sheng Zexi quickly told Gu Jianing that they had met and submitted their marriage application, and soon after, he announced their plans to get married. "Good, good, that's wonderful!" Grandma Sang exclaimed repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, but a smile of relief graced her lips.

Even Grandpa Sang couldn't help but tear up; his poor grandson was finally getting married.

From now on, I'll have someone who cares about me and keeps me company, so I'll never be lonely again.

Whether they are from the city or the countryside, they don't care.

Sheng Zexi felt a pang of sadness when he heard his grandmother's voice choked with emotion on the other end of the phone. After his mother passed away, his biological father remarried, and his biological father became his stepfather. The only people who were good to him were his maternal grandparents on his mother's side.

He also knew that his grandparents had been worried about him not being married all these years.

"Xiao Xi, is the girl and her family aware of your health problem?" Grandma Sang asked hesitantly.

They knew that Sheng Zexi was infertile, which made them even more heartbroken for their grandson.

"I've told them all, Grandpa and Grandma. Although they come from the countryside, they are very good people. Ningning is also very pretty, cute, and clever. I believe you will like her when you meet her."

Is Gu Jianing beautiful? Without a doubt, she is beautiful and charming.

As for acting up? In Sheng Zexi's eyes, he's just quirky and adorable.

It has to be said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Sheng Zexi still has a lot of romantic feelings for Gu Jianing.

"Okay, then we can rest assured."

"Grandpa and Grandma, are you planning to come?" Sheng Zexi asked after hesitating for a long time.

The main considerations were the long distance, the fact that my maternal grandparents were both elderly, and the fact that while my maternal grandmother was retired, my maternal grandfather was a professor at the National Weapons Research Institute and was very busy.

"Yes, of course!" Grandma Sang had just agreed when Grandpa Sang took the phone.

“Xiaoxi, your wedding is such a big event, your grandma and I will definitely go. Don’t worry, just tell us the date. We are still in good health and can still walk around. I also have a lot of vacation days saved up, so we’ll invite you this time.”

Just ...

"Are you going to tell your dad?"

When this person was mentioned, Sheng Zexi's expression turned slightly cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he said in a cold and hard tone, "Whether I tell him or not is my business."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a sigh, and then a quick reply: "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. That person is a fool, completely clueless. It's better if you don't tell me."

I told him, but I was afraid he would stop me. Although he was misled by the woman he married later and his mind was not clear about the issue of children, he was still shrewd at work, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in such a high position.

If he finds out and tries to stop her, it could really cause problems for Xiaoxi's marriage.

So it's better not to tell.

"Wait for me and your grandma to come over." How can he be alone when his grandson is getting married?

As the maternal grandparents, they would definitely go to show their support, which also shows their respect for the woman.
