She was rejected for marriage when she followed the army, and she married his uncle, the leader of t

People around him teased him, "Hey, Political Commissar Li, that's your wife Chunmei, why don't you recognize her?"

"It must be because Chunmei dressed so beautifully today that Political Commissar Li couldn't recognize her."

"I couldn't recognize her at first. If she hadn't spoken and my voice sounded familiar, I wouldn't have been sure she was Chunmei."

Political Commissar Li saw that it was indeed his wife. He whispered, "Why is my wife dressed so beautifully? What good day is today? She hasn't even come to her nephew's wedding yet."

He felt that he was not worthy of his wife, so he quickly straightened his military uniform and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Political Commissar Li, today isn't your wedding anniversary, is it?"

Political Commissar Li didn't know whether it was, "Wedding anniversary?"

There is such a festival? I have never celebrated such a festival in decades of marriage.

"No more talking, let's go back first."

Political Commissar Li ran up to pull his wife back into the house and rubbed his hands. "Wife, why are you dressed like this today? You even put on that red makeup, your lips are red. Is today our wedding anniversary? I haven't prepared anything. If I had known, I would have bought more food and wine and called a few people to celebrate together."

"You only know how to eat and drink. I think you just want to drink." Lin Chunmei poked his forehead with her finger. Others praised themselves for being good-looking, but he didn't praise himself at all.

"I'll punish you to go to the kitchen and cook some vegetables."

"Wife, I'm innocent. I really wanted to celebrate today's good day." Straight political commissar Li couldn't understand why his wife was angry.

"Stop talking so much, go quickly, I want to treat Xiao Ning to a meal and thank her properly."

……

The military wives ran up and called Shen Ye Ning down.

Fang Guirong, the wife of the head of the second regiment, said, "Ye Ning, when you are free, can you make one for us? My daughter is getting married next month, and I am worried about not having a dress to wear. I don't want it to be too pretty, just half as pretty as Chunmei's. The price is negotiable."

Her daughter married a city man, and she didn't want to dress too plainly and let her daughter be looked down upon by others.

Shen Ye Ning smiled and said, "No problem, sister-in-law. I haven't bought a sewing machine yet. I'll make it for you as soon as I buy one. Here are the drawings I drew. Which one do you want?"

I heard that there are fewer factories on the island and less competition. If I could open a small clothing factory on the island, I would definitely make money.

First, increase their popularity in the compound, let them wear the clothes they make to promote them, and accumulate customers. It will be much smoother to open a store or factory in the future.

Fang Guirong, "Oh, there are pictures. Let me see. This one looks good, but it has a high slit. It's too embarrassing to wear it outside. I want this one, which is more conservative."

They are used to being simple, and when they see their peers dressing up nicely, they can't help but envy them. It's worth it to spend a dozen or twenty dollars to make a piece of clothing they like and feel happy when they wear it out.

Other military wives were also very tempted, "I want to order one, too."

There are too few drawings and some people don’t want cheongsams.

"There are other styles besides cheongsam."

Shen Ye Ning used pen and paper to record the styles each person wanted.

"Sisters-in-law, finish drawing the blueprint today and give it to everyone to choose from tomorrow."

Fang Guirong was in a hurry and wanted to put it on herself immediately. "Okay, as soon as possible, sister-in-law is anxious and wants to put it on right away."

After finishing all this, Lu Zhengxiao just came back and walked back with his comrades.

As he was talking and greeting everyone, he saw his wife in front of him and immediately trotted over, "Wife, are you done here?"

"We just finished our work, and Sister Chunmei asked us to go to her place for dinner. Let's go up."

"Okay!" They went upstairs together.

Lin Chunmei opened the door for them, "Come on, come in, just wait for Lao Li to finish cooking the last dish."

"We're not hungry yet, no rush, take your time."

Lu Zhengxiao rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, "I'll go see if there's anything I can help with."

Political Commissar Li, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw him come in and waved him away, "Xiao Lu, you are a guest, we don't need your help."

Lu Zhengxiao picked up the dishes on the stove and said, "I have nothing to do, I'll take these dishes out."

Just as he was about to walk out, Political Commissar Li called him back.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you. When I came back, I saw your sister-in-law wearing a beautiful cheongsam, and I thought it was the wedding anniversary. When I came back and asked, your sister-in-law said it wasn't, and she got angry and drove me into the kitchen to cook. Can you tell me why she was angry?"

"Didn't the political commissar praise my sister-in-law for her beauty, but only said to buy wine and food to celebrate?"

Political Commissar Li said as a matter of course, "Of course, don't we usually buy wine and food to celebrate during festivals?"

Lu Zhengxiao, "I guess my sister-in-law is angry because you didn't praise her for being beautiful today."

"I thought it was true, and she scolded me for only knowing how to eat and drink. What should I do if she ignores me?"

"I can only coax you!"

"How to coax it?" Political Commissar Li was so busy asking that he forgot to ask and stir-fry, and a burnt smell came out.

Lin Chunmei, who was outside, smelled it and said, "Lao Li, what are you doing in there? You can't even cook the vegetables properly."

Political Commissar Li was startled and quickly waved his arms to stir the food, making a loud clanging noise. "Wife, I'm still stirring. The food is burnt because the fire is too strong."

"…I suggest you give your sister-in-law something she likes."

"I hand over my salary every month and let your sister-in-law buy whatever she likes. I've never bought anything for her and I don't know what she likes. The last time I gave her a gift was when I was young. Why don't you ask your wife for some advice?"

Lu Zhengxiao, "Okay! I'll ask for you."

Serve the dish.

Political Commissar Li took out a bottle of wine.

He poured a glass of wine for the other three people and raised his glass, "Comrade Xiao Shen, this glass is for you. I haven't seen my wife so happy in a long time."

When he and Lin Chunmei were young, they worried a lot about not being able to conceive, and they tried various methods but to no avail.

Now that I’m older, the children of my peers are starting their own families.

Political Commissar Li’s hometown still retains the traditional idea that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants.

He is the only child in his father's family. If he cannot have a son or daughter, that family will be extinct.

Everyone in his family advised him to divorce Lin Chunmei while he could still have children, and marry another one to carry on the family line.

He refused to do anything and insisted that he couldn't have children, and only then did the tribe members give up the idea.

What else can I do if I can’t have children?

Lin Chunmei blamed herself for many years. She looked happy on the surface, but she was sad in private.

Lin Chunmei, "I am happy, that's my business, why are you laughing?"

"My wife is happy, and I am happy too."

"The relationship between Political Commissar Li and his sister-in-law is really enviable. Just for what you said, I did it."
