The Pretty Military Wife
Chapter 67: The First Meeting of the Family Compound
No matter what era, military wives always enjoy some preferential treatment, but compared with the preferential treatment they receive, they pay much more.
While other families are having a great time, the military wife is alone taking care of the children and the elderly.
Others can take a break or take a shift when they are tired of taking care of children, but military wives don’t even have the right to get sick.
It's not easy to complain when you encounter difficulties, because there are always people staring at you, asking you what you are enjoying.
Even when she is tired, she dare not complain to a man because she is afraid that he will worry.
Of course, it’s okay in peacetime, but in special times, whenever they hear that troops are being sent to fight floods or disaster relief, the wives of soldiers are worried.
Even if you are being nervous, you still have to put on a smile and encourage the man and cheer him up.
It is true that every military medal deserves half of its honor from a military wife.
Liang Xinyue came here, and especially after seeing what happened to Lin Xiaoju, she deeply understood the meaning of these words.
This unit is far away from the crowd, and living here is almost like living on an isolated island.
Therefore, even if it is something happening in the family compound, the political commissar and others are very concerned.
What’s more, what happened to the Xiao family is a big event.
The political commissar came over at noon and called all the family members to his yard for a meeting.
His yard is usually empty as no one lives there.
After coming here for the meeting, Liang Xinyue finally got to know everyone in the family compound. There were only a few households in total.
There is only one unmarried person among the two battalion commanders, Lin Xiaoju.
The wives of the two deputy battalion commanders were Fu Chunhua and Huang Ying, a fat woman.
The wife of the quartermaster, Lao Liu, looked older, with some gray hair. Her name was Yang Dapan.
Logistics Director Wang Yong's wife Tian Mingfang seems to be about the same age as him.
Liang Xinyue came over and sat with Fu Chunhua, because she brought Xiao Xiaoer to the meeting with her. Of course, Dongdong and Lanlan also followed behind them.
The children from the other families didn't look very old either, about three or four years old. Only Tian Mingfang was holding a child who was even younger than Xiao Xiaoer.
The adults sat in the main room for a meeting while the children played in the yard.
Dongdong has become the oldest child here.
The commissar looked at them and said:
"Please come to a meeting. As you all know, something has happened. It is because we did not do a good job in ideological work and did not mediate the conflict between the cadres and their families in a timely manner."
Political Commissar Xu first made a self-criticism.
"You have come to live with your men in our army. The conditions are tough. You have paid a lot and suffered a lot here. We all know that. Thank you for your support for the development of our army."
"This time, when the conflict between Captain Xiao and Comrade Lin Xiaoju arose, you did a great job, taking good care of their children and helping to take care of Lin Xiaoju. On behalf of the comrades in our regiment, thank you all."
Another round of praise.
As he spoke, Political Commissar Xu stood up and bowed to everyone.
The women were all startled and stood up in a panic to return the greeting.
"I called you to a meeting today. First, everyone should learn lessons from this incident. The country is very important and needs our soldiers to protect it. However, family is also very important. Only with your support can our soldiers make better contributions to the country."
"The second thing is that Captain Xiao and his men will be back from the city this afternoon. Daya has five fractures on her body and needs careful care in the future. At the moment, it seems unlikely that she can be handed over to Comrade Lin Xiaoju, as she herself is still injured and needs care."
"So, I discussed it with the regiment commander and made the following arrangements. When Xiao Daya comes back, she will be handed over to Xiao Liang, the regiment commander's family, to take care of her. Xiao Liang doesn't have his own children yet, so he may lack some experience in taking care of her. Comrades who have been through motherhood, please help with some advice and lend a hand."
"After Daya is placed with Xiaoliang, Xiaoer will be placed with Xiaofu. You have two older children, so they can just play with Xiaoer. This way you can relax a little."
"Comrades, we still need your help. Please take turns to look after Comrade Lin Xiaoju. She is still injured and needs someone to take care of her."
"Our entire family compound has one entrance and one exit, so we are all one family. We care about and help each other."
"Wow……"
Before the political commissar finished speaking, the child in Tian Mingfang's arms started crying.
Tian Mingfang turned around holding the child and sat behind Huang Ying, then gently undressed and prepared to feed the child.
Political Commissar Xu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and felt very uncomfortable.
Liang Xinyue moved her stool and sat next to Huang Ying. The two of them blocked the political commissar's side. The political commissar coughed lightly and continued:
"Does everyone have any objection to this assignment? Captain Gu and I will work more shifts in the coming days, and we will allow the men in your families to go home more often to help take care of the children."
Huang Ying laughed and said generously:
"Political Commissar, don't worry, these are all small matters, we can do it. People like us don't really have much to do except take care of children every day, so taking care of one or two people is no problem."
The female comrades really have nothing to do on weekdays. What's more, they have nothing to do here after joining the army. They just have to guard their own yards and look after their own children every day.
The children in each family were young and didn't know each other because they came from all over the world. Therefore, they seldom got together like this.
This is why Liang Xinyue has been here for almost a month and still only recognizes Fu Chunhua and Lin Xiaoju.
If it weren’t for Lin Xiaoju’s incident, we would never have gathered together like this.
After reaching a consensus, Liang Xinyue immediately went back and tidied the bed again.
Originally, the bed was against the wall. Liang Xinyue thought it would be easier to take care of the child, so she asked Fu Chunhua to help her carry the bed and put it in the room.
Except for one horizontal side against the wall, the two long sides are empty:
"In this way, since the child can't move now, I put her in the middle. Sometimes I help her move to the left side, and then I can stand over there and do it. This is convenient."
Fu Chunhua nodded and said:
"Yes, it will be easier for you to take care of him this way. But that won't work for us. If we don't prop him up against the wall, he will definitely fall under the bed in one go."
Liang Xinyue sighed and said:
"Sister Fu, you will be very busy taking care of three children."
Fu Chunhua laughed and said:
"In my hometown, every family has four or five children. You just need to take care of them, feed them and keep them from going hungry, and keep them warm and keep them from getting cold. The older ones look after the younger ones, and the adults don't get tired."
In Liang Xinyue’s memory of her previous life, every child in the family was as precious as a little emperor.
But in the memory of my previous life, it was indeed as Sister Fu said, the children all grew up in the corners of the fields, covered in water and dirt every day, dirty, and they were happy as long as they had food to eat.
Adults are all trying to make a living, and being able to survive is good enough.
