~6 min read 1,164 words

July 10th was Su Xinghui's twenty-fifth birthday, and it was also the day Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya agreed to get their marriage certificate. Su Xinghui submitted a marriage application report to the county party committee a few days in advance to apply for marriage.

Su Xinghui applied to get his marriage certificate on July 10th. By that time, he was already twenty-five years old and had reached the late marriage age, so the county party committee could not refuse his marriage application. His various procedures were handled smoothly, and Xue Xingyuan and Ling Anguo both expressed their congratulations to Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui also took the opportunity to ask Xue Xingyuan for a few days off to return to Shangjun County to get his marriage certificate with Lu Xiaoya. Xue Xingyuan naturally approved this leave and let Su Xinghui go back to spend a few more days with Lu Xiaoya.

Xue Xingyuan also knew some inside information about this rumor event. He knew that the other party seemed to have sent anonymous letters to Lu Xiaoya and Lu Zhenghong. Under such circumstances, Lu Xiaoya not making a fuss and still being able to get her marriage certificate with Su Xinghui on schedule could be considered rare and commendable.

If Lu Xiaoya had run over to make a big scene with Su Xinghui, then this matter would naturally have caused more complications.

Lu Xiaoya's move was not only trust and support for Su Xinghui but also could be called deep understanding and righteousness.

Su Xinghui returned to the town government and handed over some of the work on his hands to Ma Sheng and Lü Xianghui and the others. Ma Sheng and the others naturally also congratulated him. They let Su Xinghui stay in Shangjun County for a few more days and not rush back.

On the 7th, Su Xinghui rushed back to Shangjun County. When he returned home, it was already dinner time. Lu Xiaoya had already helped Guo Suhua finish cooking and was waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Seeing Su Xinghui return, Guo Suhua was overjoyed. She certainly knew that her son had come back this time to get his marriage certificate with Lu Xiaoya. Her son was finally going to start a family and establish a career. What a big happy event this was!

Guo Suhua said, "Eat quickly, you're hungry, right?"

Lu Xiaoya had already served Su Xinghui a bowl of rice. Su Xinghui took the rice bowl, said thank you, and sat down at the dining table. However, he didn't rush to use his chopsticks but said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, you eat too."

Guo Suhua said to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, you sit down and eat too."

Everyone started to eat.

Su Xinghui said while eating, "Returning to Shangjun from Changshan is like entering a furnace again."

Shangjun County was indeed very hot this year. It was only July, but the highest temperature in the past few days had already approached forty degrees.

Guo Suhua said, "Is Changshan County that cool?"

Su Xinghui said, "The highest temperature in our Matou Town is at most thirty degrees, and it's even cooler at night. If it's in a place with high altitude, like Bagua Mountain, you still need to wear a sweater now. Dad, Mom, when you have time, you can go to Changshan to escape the heat."

Guo Suhua said, "Okay, if Changshan County is that good, let Xiaoya transfer over sooner."

Su Xinghui said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking."

Guo Suhua said, "After you get married, you should live together. Living in two places for a long time is not good for your relationship."

Lu Xiaoya and Su Xinghui looked at each other and laughed secretly.

After eating, Guo Suhua let Su Xinghui accompany Lu Xiaoya out for a walk. Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya's hand and went out.

On the summer night, the weather was still a bit sultry. Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, let's go to Zhong Ming Lake Park for a walk. The lake breeze there should be very cool."

Lu Xiaoya didn't speak. She pinched Su Xinghui's arm hard. Su Xinghui endured the pain, didn't say a word, and pulled Lu Xiaoya's hand towards Zhong Ming Lake.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Doesn't it hurt?"

Su Xinghui said, "As long as it can let you vent your anger, I am willing no matter how much it hurts."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then tell me, why do you want me to vent my anger?"

Su Xinghui said, "No matter what, it's my fault. I offended too many people, and they send you an anonymous letter at every turn, making you let your imagination run wild and be worried and afraid. Besides, although I don't have subjective thoughts, objectively, in work and life, I still have certain contact with other female comrades, so I am sorry to my dear Comrade Lu Xiaoya..."

Lu Xiaoya covered Su Xinghui's mouth and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it. I know you don't have subjective thoughts, but I'm just angry. Wait until later, when I transfer to Changshan, you are not allowed to be so good to other female comrades anymore. If they are really pitiful, let me do such things."

Su Xinghui gently took down Lu Xiaoya's hand that was covering his mouth and held it gently in his own hand, saying, "I knew my Xiaoya is the best."

Lu Xiaoya suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said, "Who is your Xiaoya?"

Su Xinghui said, "We'll get our marriage certificate in three days. If you're not my Xiaoya, then whose Xiaoya are you?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Maybe I'll regret it tomorrow."

Su Xinghui said, "No, you're not allowed to regret it. In this life, you are my Xiaoya."

After saying this, Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya's hand tightly, as if he was afraid she would run away.

The two strolled on the streets of Shangjun County. After a long while, Lu Xiaoya touched the place where Su Xinghui had just been pinched and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Su Xinghui said, "It hurt a little just now, but it's fine now that you touched it. Your hand is more magical than a panacea."

Lu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and said, "Smooth talker."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not being a smooth talker; these are my heartfelt words."

Lu Xiaoya said, "If I transfer to Changshan County, where will we live?"

Su Xinghui said, "If you transfer after we get our marriage certificate, I estimate you will still work in the propaganda department. You can just live in the propaganda department's dormitory first. Changshan County town is currently renovating the old city, and there are companies building commercial housing. When the commercial housing is built, we will buy one and live in a new house."

Lu Xiaoya sighed and said, "It's a pity that we can't live in the house by Zhong Ming Lake either."
