Even though Lu Yunzheng explained a lot, the divorce report submitted was finally rejected by Political Commissar Shen.
"You young people just want to leave as soon as possible. You have to leave just a few months after receiving the certificate. I will give you another month to think and mediate. If you still want to leave after one month, we will talk about it."
Political Commissar Shen agreed.
Lu Yunzheng knew that the political commissar Shen's talk meant that if Lu Yunzheng applied again in a month, the political commissar would probably call the two of them to mediate in person.
If the political commissar fails to mediate, after the divorce report is approved, the divorce still needs to be approved by the political organs above the regiment headquarters, which can take several months.
The total time may add up to half a year, but now Lu Yunzheng has no other choice but to come to the political commissar a few more times to try to speed up the divorce process.

Xu Wantang survived the most uncomfortable first day and felt much better after getting up today.
After she had breakfast and washed herself, she picked up the clean lunch box and planned to send it to Chen Yue's house.
Yesterday, she was so focused on feeling uncomfortable that she even forgot to ask where Chen Yue's family was.
But at this time, she might encounter military wives chatting or children playing on the road, and she could find them if she asked around.
Xu Wantang was quite lucky. After walking a few steps, he saw a few acquaintances, including Chen Yue.
Just as Xu Wantang was about to step forward, he felt a little out of place. When he took a closer look, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
She saw the man with his back to her, wearing a red skirt and a sun hat on his head. His hair was braided and hanging on one side of his shoulders, and he had a pair of small leather shoes on his feet.
Xu Wantang lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She was dressed the same as that person, except that she had centipede braids today.
For a moment, Xu Wantang thought she saw herself in her dream without waking up. Otherwise, why would this person be dressed exactly like her?
"Sister Xiaotang, are you here?" Chen Yue saw Xu Wantang from a distance. While greeting Xu Wantang, she also gave the person next to her a complicated look.
"Well, I'll bring you a lunch box." Xu Wantang responded with a smile, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the man in the red skirt.
Xu Wantang could clearly see that the moment the man heard her voice, he froze with guilt and still did not look back at her.
While she was talking, Chen Yue had already come forward, took the lunch box from Xu Wantang's hand, and said with a look of surprise, "Sister Xiaotang, have you put the lunch box into your woolen bag?"
Xu Wantang nodded. She brought this bag from City B. She had knitted it before. The thick blue wool threads were woven into a hollow, small grid in layers. It was not only fashionable, but also very practical.
"If you like Douzi, you can keep it and use it. I have another one over there." Xu Wantang said.
Chen Yue touched it twice lovingly, smiled and said to Xu Wantang, "I like it! Thank you, sister Xiaotang."
Chen Yue's eyes fell on the blue woolen bag and the somewhat worn lunch box inside. She rolled her eyes and said pointedly, "Hey, I won't use this bag to hold old lunch boxes in the future. I have to decorate it." Only something good-looking and high-end can match this woolen bag, otherwise this bag will be in vain when paired with an old lunch box!"
After Chen Yue finished speaking, she blinked at Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang immediately understood the meaning of Chen Yue's words.
The person wearing a red skirt in front of her was obviously imitating her dressing style, anyone could tell at a glance.
Chen Yue was helping her mock the other party.
Before Xu Wantang could speak, a powerful voice came,
"Chen Yue! What do you mean?!"
Wang Lanxiang's eyes were as wide as those of an ox, and she stared at Chen Yue fiercely, "The lunch box has a pocket! Aren't you just saying that my girl's skirt looks like the one worn by Xu? What? She is the only one in the world. She can wear a red dress but no one else can? Why is she so domineering?"
Now Xu Wantang knew who was wearing the same skirt as her.
The person who asked Wang Lanxiang to defend her like this must be Wang Lanxiang's sister, Wang Lanying.
However, Xu Wantang was confused by Wang Lanxiang's remarks. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. How could she be labeled as "overbearing"?
She originally didn't have much opinion on this matter. It was the other person's freedom to wear whatever they wanted, and she had no intention of interfering.
Even if the other person is really imitating her, although she may feel a little strange in her heart, she will not be overbearing and prevent them from wearing clothes similar to hers.
But now that Wang Lanxiang said this, she no longer wanted to be the easy talker.
Xu Wantang looked at Wang Lanxiang and said innocently, "Didn't Sister Chen Yue talk about woolen bags and lunch boxes? What are you talking about?"
Xu Wantang's eyes flashed with a hint of joking, "Let me guess, you don't think Wang Lanying is an old lunch box, do you? Is it really okay to say that about your sister?"
Wang Lanying glanced at Wang Lanxiang resentfully, as if she was complaining about Wang Lanxiang's talkativeness.
Wang Lan was so fragrant that she pointed at the noses of Xu Wantang and Chen Yue, and said angrily, "You guys are not good at first sight, don't try to sow discord! I spent money to buy these skirts, shoes, and hats for my sister, you have no qualifications." Make irresponsible remarks!"
Xu Wantang was successfully amused by Wang Lanxiang. He burst out laughing and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be so sensitive. No one mentioned Wang Lanying's skirt, hat and shoes from the beginning to the end. Is there something wrong with you? "
As soon as these words came out, Wang Lanxiang was so angry that she jumped and blushed. She shouted at Xu Wantang over and over again, "Nonsense!"
Wang Lanying pursed her lips and looked embarrassed, "I...I have nothing wrong with me."
After saying that, he walked quickly through the crowd towards home.
Wang Lanxiang shouted "Yingying" and chased after her.
The two sisters gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chen Yue looked at the direction they left and mocked, "Why are you running if you don't have any worries?"
Chen Yue curled her lips and said to Xu Wantang, "I saw Wang Lanying wearing that red skirt from a distance this morning. I thought it was you! But when I looked closer, I saw that it was just a fake dress!"
"Sister Xiaotang, aren't you angry?" Chen Yue said angrily, "If any scholar imitates me like this, I will die from my diaphragm!"
Xu Wantang shook his head and said with a smile, "The fact that she imitated me means that she thinks I dress well, and indirectly praised me for my good taste. Why should I be angry?"
Chen Yue nodded repeatedly, "After you said this, it is indeed true! It's better for you to think openly!"
"Let's go! Come to my house for a while?" Chen Yue invited.
Xu Wantang agreed immediately.
As soon as they walked into the yard of Chen Yue's house, the children who were playing inside raised their heads. The moment they saw Xu Wantang, their eyes were bright, and they rushed to shout, "Sister Tang!"
