Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The second day of the Lunar New Year, at a certain compound.

"Come, Grandpa, I'll toast you!" Qin Yang raised his glass, respectfully saying to the old man, "I originally planned to bring some new inventions as gifts, but I've been busy lately, ever since returning from the Third Factory until now, I haven't had time for anything. Grandpa, please forgive me."

"Speaking of new inventions, you haven't had many lately," the old man said, "However, when it comes to your skill in tricking people, you've certainly given everyone a fresh perspective."

Even with Qin Yang's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.

"Where, where, I, Qin Yang, never trick anyone."

"Really? This time, the 410 Factory lent more than a hundred people to your Third Factory to support the development of the WS-10 project. Weren't they tricked by you?"

"No, absolutely not," Qin Yang said, "They wanted to trick our Third Factory but failed. Since they made the first move, of course, I have to make them pay back with interest. Besides, the WS-6 project has many flaws and is destined to fail. It's better to have those skilled workers support our WS-10 project, which is a major matter concerning the development of the air force."

In front of the old man, Qin Yang didn't plan to hide anything and spoke the truth: Yes, we tricked the 410 Factory, but we had our reasons. Who told them to be the first to act unfairly? When have I, Qin Yang, ever suffered a loss?

The old man smiled: "You're like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, borrowing more than a hundred people with no intention of returning them, right?"

"No, Grandpa, I am a very trustworthy person. I will definitely return them after we're done using them, but if these people want to stay on their own, then I can't chase them away, right? Grandpa, you've been a leader for most of your life, you should understand, right? Besides, given our relationship, you'll have to speak up for me then, right? Come, Grandpa, I'll toast you."

The old man's eyes stared intently at Qin Yang: "What relationship do we have?"

"Well, Grandpa, if the Marriage Law hadn't been amended last year, I could have married Xiaoqian this year. Although we haven't gotten married yet, it's only a matter of time. I'm your grandson-in-law."

Nie Xiaoqian's face turned slightly red. This Brother Yang is really thick-skinned, he can talk about such things openly with Grandpa, and still look so proud.

In the past, the legal marriage age stipulated by the state was 20 for men and 18 for women. According to this calculation, Qin Yang, who is 20 years old this year, can just marry Nie Xiaoqian. However, on January 1, 1981, that is, New Year's Day last year, the state amended the Marriage Law: Men must not be younger than 22 years old, and women must not be younger than 20 years old. This amendment was used for decades.

"That doesn't matter," the old man waved his hand, "Xiaoqian will be 20 years old this year. As for your age, if I say you're 22, then you're 22. You're so anxious, let's just get this marriage done."

What?

Now it was Qin Yang's turn to be shocked.

In this era, changing age is not a big deal. After all, many people born in remote mountain villages can't remember their birth dates, and the registration departments of the police stations are all handwritten, without computer entry. People with power can change it at any time. At the level of the old man, even if it has been entered into the computer, it can still be changed.

But…

"What, you don't want to?" The old man's face darkened: "Did you and Xiaoqian already live together last year?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Nie Xiaoqian stood up. How could such words be said?

"Grandpa, we do sometimes sleep in the same bed, but it's all due to various coincidences, it's pure, just like in the war years, male and female comrades squeezing together to sleep. I can guarantee that we are innocent," Qin Yang quickly said, "If you don't believe me, you can take Xiaoqian to the hospital for a checkup."

"Hmph, of course I know. If you dare to mess around, do you think I would sit idly by?"

You know everything? Qin Yang secretly rejoiced in his heart, thankfully he was able to restrain himself.

"Dad, don't scare Xiaoyang," Nie Xiaoqian's mother said, "Xiaoyang, don't be afraid, your grandpa just wants you to get married as soon as possible. There are too many people thinking about such an excellent young man like you."

The sweat on Qin Yang's forehead had already come down. He wiped his sweat and then said, "Grandpa, I am a junior, and Xiaoqian's marriage is all up to you."

"Really?"

"Grandpa, how dare I lie in front of you."

"Okay, then let's get married tomorrow."

What?

Qin Yang was stunned again, this was too fast, right?

"What, do you have any objections?"

"No, no," Qin Yang shook his head repeatedly, he didn't have the courage.

Nie Xiaoqian wanted to say something next to her, but then she was pulled by her mother, and she could only remain silent. Getting married is getting married, anyway, it's a matter of time, she had even been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"The main thing is that the family is not prepared for anything. Marriage is only once in a lifetime, and it needs to be grander so that there can be good memories in the future," Qin Yang said, "It's a bit too hasty now."

This meal was eaten very hastily. After eating, Qin Yang took the hot marriage certificate and went back.

"Grandpa, is there a need to be so anxious?" Sending Qin Yang out, Nie Xiaoqian came back and said to Old Nie, "I know, you are doing this so that Brother Yang has someone behind him, so that no one dares to cause trouble in the future, but even now, not many people dare to provoke him."

"No one?" Old Nie's face was serious: "Someone has already written an accusation letter to the old leader, saying that Qin Yang has become bad with money and is messing around with relationships between men and women!"

Nie Xiaoqian's face changed: "Grandpa, is this aimed at you?"

"Hmph, if they dare to target me, I'll let him…" Old Nie didn't finish speaking, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Qin Yang has moved the interests of more and more people, and these people are of course unwilling. They always want to throw dirty water on Qin Yang. This kind of thing about relationships between men and women can be big or small. If the two are married, then it is a false accusation, and Old Nie has to pave the way for the two.

Fortunately, Qin Yang, this strong young man, still has composure and has not taken the last step, otherwise, Old Nie would not have been so straightforward, and he might have made Qin Yang suffer a bit.

Qin Yang went back and busied himself for a while. Although Old Nie said that it could be simple, how could Qin Yang let his once-in-a-lifetime wedding be too plain? The entire 960 Factory was busy, and overnight, the 960 Factory had a wedding atmosphere.
