"What? The comrades from the Women's Federation said that my wife's family background is not good? Don't want it?"
Xiao Zheng tightened his grip on the phone receiver and took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
“Which comrade specifically raised the objection?”
"...I know."
"...A state-owned factory is also fine. Thank you, Minister Yang."
With a "click", the phone was hung up.
Xiao Zheng shook out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, his eyes fixed on a certain place for a moment, then he picked up the phone and dialed a few times.
The lingering smoke blurred Xiao Zheng's expression, and only the cold and emotionless voice revealed his emotions at the moment.
"Commander, last week an enemy agent destroyed a state-owned heavy factory in a neighboring county."
"Enemy activities are rampant. I suggest launching an 'anti-espionage' campaign to prevent them from happening and to strengthen propaganda and education."
“And I think this movement should not be limited to the military, but people from government agencies, factories and mass organizations across the county should all get involved.”
"I will communicate with the county party committee. This is also part of our defense work."
......
Xiao Zheng walked into the yard of his home and did not see the familiar busy figure from the kitchen window.
He wiped the sweat off his face and washed his hands before finding An Hua and his son in a room.
This room is what An Hua intends to use as a study room, where her children will study in the future. Currently, there is only a desk and two chairs in it.
Dongdong was sitting upright at the desk, holding a brush in his little hand and writing on the newspaper.
An Hua was sitting next to him, also practicing calligraphy.
Xiao Zheng stood at the door and watched for a long time before An Hua noticed him when she raised her head and stretched her neck.
She was startled, "You're off work, I was so focused on practicing calligraphy that I forgot the time and haven't even cooked yet!"
Having said that, he stood up hurriedly.
Xiao Zheng blocked the door and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
"What's wrong?" An Hua raised her head in surprise.
Xiao Zheng held the back of her head and made her bury her head in his chest again.
"No."
I just feel like I owe her and I feel sorry for her.
It wasn't just Ge Hongying who was being targeted. Xiao Zheng always felt that An Hua had been wronged because of him joining the army.
She could live a better life in the provincial capital.
"You take a rest, I'll cook." Xiao Zheng rubbed the top of An Huan's head, his voice so soft that it hardly sounded like his own.
An Hua shook her numb arms. However, since the man wanted to show his courtesy, she naturally enjoyed it and did not say anything hypocritical like "You are tired from work, let me cook."
An Hua stood on tiptoe, hooked her arm around his neck, and kissed him on the lips. "I haven't eaten the food you cooked yet. I'm in for a treat today."
Xiao Zheng had gotten used to and even started to enjoy her frequent kisses, so he leaned over and kissed her back hard before turning around and walking towards the kitchen.
An Hua told her son to continue practicing calligraphy, and then she followed him, helping to light the fire while chatting with Xiao Zheng about her son.
"You know what? Dongdong can already write a few traditional Chinese characters and can recite dozens of Tang poems! My dad taught me all of them."
The reason why An Hua felt surprised was that she was immersed in the negative emotions of her unhappy life and didn't care much about her son, so she had no memory of this.
Xiao Zheng also exclaimed: "Better than his father."
An Hua smiled and said, "To be a leading cadre, you need to be civilized. You should work harder to learn civilization."
Xiao Zheng's old boss also urged him to read more, but Xiao Zheng usually just agreed verbally.
When his wife said this, Xiao Zheng just nodded, but his determination was much stronger than before.
