Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

"Wow! A shrunken brigade commander!"

"Look, he smiled at me, he’s so adorable. Why does he seem so joyous?"

"He looks so much like the brigade commander with those eyebrows and eyes. They’re the spitting image of each other, just that the commander is dark and lean, while the baby is chubby and fair. Your sister-in-law must have taken good care of him! It’s hard work!"

Following someone’s comment of "it’s hard work, sister-in-law", many of the soldiers who had been looking at Xibao turned around simultaneously and saluted Feng Qingxue, saying unanimously, "You’ve worked hard, sister-in-law!"

Needless to say, they were reminded of their own families.

Those without wives and children were reminded of their parents, and those with families were reminded of their wives and children.

The soldiers sacrifice at the front line, their wives sacrifice at home, taking care of the elderly and the children, all the family burdens rest on their shoulders.

Their salute was so proper, and their voices, so sincere.

Feng Qingxue’s nose turned sour, she politely pulled down her scarf, her smile serious as she said, "I married a soldier. From the first day, I knew that these are things I’m supposed to do. The well-being of an elderly or a child is my responsibility. Your duty lies with the nation, my duty lies at home. With you soldiers defending the border, we at home fear nothing, and all the hardships in life are actually sweet. The sorrow is only a fraction of the sweetness. I have no regrets nor complaints."

The commander applauded and said, "Well said!"
