Chapter 215 Getting a Marriage Certificate 3

Next, brothers Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng kowtowed to Feng Qingxue, the new aunt, willingly. Four of them lined up and said in unison: "Aunt!" Their faces were full of bright and excited smiles, full of beautiful expectations for the future. They were all smart. There was a big difference between having an aunt and not having one.

"Hey!" Feng Qingxue responded and quickly took out the gifts that had been prepared long ago.

Four children, one cotton and linen sweatshirt and one pair of pants for each.

No one doesn't like new clothes. The two teenagers and two children holding new clothes were very happy. They rushed to the river to take a bath, and then changed into the new clothes made by their aunt!

The river was not deep, and the bend was only half a meter deep. The children were used to bathing in the river, so the adults had nothing to worry about. They only told them not to go to the dam before they set off. The dam not far from their Wanglou Brigade was a deep pit created by shells during the war, which accumulated into a pool. After years of excavation, the deepest part was about six or seven meters.

Niu Yibao then said goodbye.

Lu Jiang tried to keep him, but Niu Yibao said seriously, "How can this be possible? Before I came here, Division Commander Ye and Regiment Commander Zhao asked me to go back after the regiment commander got married. I can't delay. I have to go back to participate in training! I'm leaving today."

Hearing what he said, Lu Jiang hurriedly asked Feng Qingxue to bring him some dry food from home and send him to the station.

Originally, Niu Yibao didn't want Lu Jiang to send him, but Lu Jiang had other plans.

After borrowing a mule cart from the production brigade, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue sent Niu Yibao to the train station. They didn't leave the station until he got on the cart. Lu Jiang said, "Qingxue, let's go get the marriage certificate!"

Getting married and getting the marriage certificate is considered complete.

"Marriage certificate?" Feng Qingxue was stunned. She had never heard those aunts and aunts mention marriage certificates. Did they have marriage certificates at this time? Because she didn't read all the information, she didn't know the situation in this regard.

"Yes, marriage certificate! In the past, it was a feudal society. The emphasis was on three matchmakers and six certificates. Among the three matchmakers and six certificates, there was a marriage certificate. It was necessary to sign a marriage certificate in the government office to be considered a formal couple. Without that piece of paper, it was not legitimate. There were corresponding marriage certificates before the founding of the People's Republic of China, which shows that a piece of paper is very important. However, there were frequent wars at that time, and many people did not get a certificate but only held a wedding." Lu Jiang explained to her carefully, "There are also marriage certificates after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but few people in our production brigade bothered to do so."

In other words, rural couples basically did not get a marriage certificate.

Lu Jiang had already asked Wang Zhengguo to issue a letter of introduction. He brought his ID and the proof of passing the political review in the army, and after going through all the procedures, the two finally got the marriage certificate.

Not only did they get the marriage certificate, but they also received 12 feet of cloth coupons issued by the government!

Feng Qingxue was very surprised, "If everyone knew that they could get cloth coupons by getting a marriage certificate, would they come to register in droves?"

Lu Jiang thought about it and shook his head and said, "No."

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, not everyone is eligible to receive cloth coupons." They can get cloth coupons because he is a soldier, and the country has extra preferential treatment for military marriages.

Feng Qingxue understood and looked down at the freshly baked marriage certificate.

The marriage certificate is two pieces of paper, folded in half, very hard, with a smooth surface, similar to the award certificate she received when she was in school.
