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

Lu Jiang remained silent for a long time. The light from the kerosene lamp cast a flickering glow on his face.

"What’s wrong? What exactly is the reason?" Feng Qingxue shifted Xibao sideways into the heated bed and nudged Lu Jiang’s leg, only to have him grip it firmly. "Just speak! Maintaining silence like this is making me anxious."

Lu Jiang gritted his teeth, "If we were in the military hospital, I would fully support your decision to become a doctor, it means you don’t have to go to war. But it’s different here, Sister Xiuying and Sister Xinru are battlefield doctors. During every battle, they have to enter the battlefield alongside medics. They need to not only treat the wounded but sometimes also fight. Although, there’s no fighting going on right now, it’s not peaceful either. There are frequent uprisings by armed groups in the border areas, including some local forces that are yet to be fully pacified."

Feng Qingxue finally understood, "You’re afraid of me going to the battlefield? Xibao is so young, I’m pregnant. Even if I became a doctor, for at least a year or two, the troops surely wouldn’t let me go to the battlefield!"

"Not now, but what about later?"

"Later? Ajiang, you’re thinking too far into the future. Who knows where you’ll be transferred to? When you leave, as a military dependant, I naturally go wherever you go. The army can’t keep me here."

The work arrangements for military dependants are notably different from those for soldiers.
