The Pretty Military Wife

The chief looked at Xiao Shun seriously.

"No matter which application was submitted to me, it should be the result of your careful consideration. However, these two things are important choices in life. You are a soldier I trained. Do you know how much it hurts me to see you make such a choice?"

Xiao Shun stood up suddenly, but because he stood up on one foot too suddenly, he almost lost his balance and swayed.

Gu Sanding, who was sitting next to him, reached out to help, but Xiao Shun stood up on his own and did not say anything, but raised his head slightly to look at the roof.

Everyone knew that when the leader said this, Xiao Shun himself felt sad.

Zhou Guoliang stood up:

"I'm sorry, Commander. I didn't take good care of my comrade. He...was injured because of me. I..."

Before Zhou Guoliang could finish his self-blame, the leader slammed the table and said:

"Are you trying to say that you feel guilty? Is that what I taught you?"

"Everyone will face life and death on the battlefield. The first thing we need to do is to complete the mission with the best result. You are fighting for the country, and so is he. Whether you are injured or he is injured, it is all for the country, not for individuals."

"He made the choice at that time, not because you are his regiment commander, but because you need to cooperate well to complete this mission. You don't have to carry this blame on your shoulders. He was injured, and we are sad, but we can't blame ourselves. Every soldier who can go to the battlefield has given his body and mind to the country."

Xiao Shun saluted:

"Commander, you are right."

The leader turned to Xiao Shun and said:

"You were injured. It is the country that owes you, not your comrades. But you completed the mission very well. You are worthy of the country, and the country will not forget your contribution."

"Today, the comrades below could just come and go through the motions, but I must do it myself. You are still young, and every decision you make affects your future and the future of your children. I am afraid you will make a bad choice."

Xiao Shun sniffed, without looking at the leader, he stretched his neck and looked out the window and said:

"Every application report I wrote was something I had thought about, and I knew what the results of my choices would be."

The leader stared at him. Zhou Guoliang tried to smooth things over:

"Old Xiao, how can you say that? The leader also cares about us."

He turned to the chief and said:

"Don't worry, we are all here watching. Our political commissar is also worried about his wife."

Political Commissar Xu also said:

"Yes, Chief, I have tried hard and tried to persuade her. I have also communicated with the girl's unit. First of all, she no longer has her heart with us. Secondly, I have asked someone to investigate privately. After she left, she returned to the unit and went on a blind date. She even got together with him."

"What!"

When the chief heard this, he slammed the table angrily:

"How dare she! We haven't even divorced yet. If she wants to do this, I will hold her accountable. This is destroying a military marriage!"

Political Commissar Xu sighed and said:

"Commander, we have considered this, but what about the child in the future? Even if she is sentenced, the child will have a mother like this in the future, and the child will not be able to pass the political review in terms of education and work."

Speaking of children, Political Commissar Xu also talked about the situation of the two children. When the leader heard that the two children were handed over to Zhou Guoliang for a while, and that those who couldn't walk were brought in to walk, he was especially angry when he heard that the children were seriously injured by their mother. He slammed the table again and again.

If Xiao Shun hadn't lost a leg, he would have probably punched Xiao Shun in such a rage.

A look of disappointment was cast towards Xiao Shun, who also lowered his head in sadness.

Gu Sanding also stood up and said:

"Commander, this is not Lao Xiao's fault. People have their own ideas. When they first followed Lao Xiao, they probably thought he was a hero. Girls in the city worship heroes but don't consider the actual hardships here. They regretted it later."

The leader pounded the table and looked at Political Commissar Xu:

"Only Li?"

"Yes, this is the best choice. The two children will follow Xiao Shun. Xiao Shun may suffer some hardships in the future, but fortunately the children are growing up day by day, and Yaya is very sensible now."

The leader looked at Xiao Shun and said:

"From now on, open your eyes and find someone who knows how to live. Don't do anything fancy."

Xiao Shun lowered his head:

"No need to look for one. I have a son and a daughter, and I can live on my own."

"Bullshit, you're still young. Your children have grown up and left home, and you're all alone. There's no one to serve you tea or water."

If he didn't want to remarry, the leader would approve it.

The leader reached into his trouser pocket, and Gu Sanding handed him a cigarette, while Zhou Guoliang handed him a lit match.

After lighting the cigarette, the leader took a deep breath.

The coordinated movements were very smooth; they knew each other so well.

After taking a puff of cigarette, the chief paced back and forth, turned around and glared at Xiao Shun again:

"What about your discharge? Didn't I say that I would transfer you to a civilian job and find you a unit..."

"Commander, I don't think I'm disabled and no unit will take me in, nor do I think I'm useless. The valley planting plan proposed earlier was initiated by the sister-in-law of the regiment commander. Now the valley is contracted by the sister-in-law in her own name."

"I feel like I can do it there. I know you're all thinking about it for me. But I really don't want to be someone who's supported by some unit."

"I'm not good at literature, and I won't be good at martial arts in the future. So I only have this strength left, and my limbs are not very convenient. Farming is suitable for me."

"I also think that farming can motivate people based on some of the things my sister-in-law has suggested. So I am willing to change my career."

"What is contracting? What does contracting mean?"

The chief asked.

Political Commissar Xu then explained the whole story. The leader stared at Political Commissar Xu and Zhou Guoliang with wide eyes and said:

"You guys can come up with some new ideas. What does contracting mean, Political Commissar Xu, can you explain it to me?"

In that era, no one had yet set a precedent for contracting production to households. Everyone was still working hard with the production team as a unit, with everyone working at the same time and finally distributing the work based on work points.

Some families can have enough to eat, but most farmers cannot.

Political Commissar Xu didn't quite understand what contracting meant at the time. Liang Xinyue thought that to cultivate the valley, she just needed to understand Political Commissar Xu's ideas.

So I explained in detail what contracting is.

Political Commissar Xu was now being ordered around by the leader and could only glance at Xiao Shun.

Some new things were difficult to implement in that era because they conflicted with policies.

But now that Xiao Shun had spoken out, and the chief was asking again, Political Commissar Xu could only speak seriously about the matter.

A detailed explanation of what Liang Xinyue meant by contracting.
