Luo Jingyan could tell the purpose of her four sisters-in-law's visit. They must have known that Xue Yanchen had gone on a mission last night and were worried that she would be lonely here alone, so they came to keep her company.
Qiu Aizhen chopped the meat and added the scallions that Ding's sister-in-law had peeled to the meat, then handed it to Luo Jingyan to prepare the filling.
After the dumpling filling was prepared and the dough was kneaded, the military wives sat together to make dumplings.
While speaking, the four of them couldn't help but comfort Luo Jingyan.
“Jingyan, that’s how it is for soldiers. They’re sent on missions at random times. I was giving birth in the hospital when my husband, Lao Jiang, was called on for a mission. There’s nothing they can do about it; that’s just how their job is,” Jing Yanhong said.
“Sister-in-law, I understand. I fully support Yanchen’s work. They are fighting on the front lines to protect our country, and we, as military wives, must take care of the rear for them. I will wait for him to come back.”
Jing Yanhong nodded: "Jingyan is indeed a sensible person who can consider the big picture. If it were someone else, they might have made a big fuss."
"You're talking about the wife of Company Commander Wu of the Second Battalion, Third Regiment, right?" Qiu Aizhen asked.
Jing Yanhong smiled and said, "It was her. When they first got married, after their wedding night, they didn't send Company Commander Wu on an emergency mission until the next day. His wife cried her eyes out that day, and she wouldn't let Company Commander Wu leave. No matter how many people tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen, which made Company Commander Wu very angry."
"Sigh, later on, whenever Company Commander Wu was assigned a mission, she would always stop him from going. In fact, if it weren't for her, Company Commander Wu would have been promoted long ago. He's been a company commander for over ten years and is still in the same position. If it weren't for the organization's consideration, he would probably have been demoted to deputy company commander by now."
Jing Yanhong suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that the couple seems to be getting a divorce recently, because of the fact that Company Commander Wu is going to be demoted. You know, as an officer, if you don't carry out the orders given by the organization, if you don't do what you're told, then what's the point of having you? I think demoting him is too lenient."
"I've advised her so many times to be more understanding of her husband, but she just won't listen. She's even argued with me before. Fine, I'm not going to bother anymore. Let's just wait and see how things develop."
"Yes, let's wait and see how it goes. Anyway, whoever is advising or criticizing whom, nobody can control them."
