Li Dabao received a letter from home saying that a girl had been found for him. They asked him when he was free to take a leave to come home for a visit, and if things worked out, they could get married right away.
So after this mission, Li Dabao plans to tell his division chief that he wants to go home on leave to meet the girl, and then file a report to get married.
In their hometown, once a couple has had a wedding feast, they are considered married. Conversely, even if they have a marriage certificate but have not held a wedding feast, they are not considered a couple. This was how he used to see it too, but after he entered the research institute, he realized that this was not universally accepted.
If a couple does not have a marriage certificate, they are not legally married. His village people need to be educated on this matter.
