Chapter 353 - 353 343 The Model Military Spouse

?Chapter 353: Chapter 343: The Model Military Spouse Chapter 353: Chapter 343: The Model Military Spouse Seven to eight years of Spring Festivals had whooshed by in a blink. After the New Year, Shen Yunfang tidied up the house thoroughly, and then after the tenth day of the first lunar month, she held her younger child in one arm and led the older one with the other, followed by her husband, who of course had to carry the luggage. The family of four boarded the train to S City to report for duty.

This time, Li Hongjun had requested seven days off, intending to settle his wife and children before returning. Initially, he was hesitant to ask for such extended leave, but to his surprise, his military unit’s leadership approached him first for a talk. The gist of it was that Li Hongjun’s wife had fearlessly passed the university entrance exam, becoming a model, a pacesetter, a role model for wives throughout the military district. Her deeds were to be properly promoted so she could serve as an example for other soldiers’ wives, who might otherwise be idly gossiping and stirring up trouble without anything better to do.

Li Hongjun’s thoughts were straightforward and his attitude clear regarding what the leadership had said. His wife’s ability to gain university admission was not just due to his unit’s cultivation and assistance—though they indeed had been the solid backing for their whole family. As for setting an example, he thought it might be better to skip that. The university registration date was approaching, and his wife had already started packing for the journey.

The leadership felt reassured upon hearing Li Hongjun’s gratitude towards the military. He was a good kid, not one to forget his roots. However, it wouldn’t reflect well on the military’s emphasis on the only university-enrolled military wife if she didn’t ask for anything. Thus, they kindly inquired if Li Hongjun had any difficulties in life, assuring him that the military would find a way to resolve any issues for the couple.

This played right into Li Hongjun’s hands, and without a hint of shame, he frankly spoke about his wife’s need to juggle child-rearing with her studies and shared some of their current difficulties. In the end, he assured the leadership with an earnest expression. Although they faced hardships, they didn’t want to trouble the military and would try to resolve matters themselves. However, now his wife was about to report to the university with children in tow, so they needed a man to accompany them to help find housing and communicate with the school. Therefore, he hoped the leadership would grant him a few days off to go to S City and settle his wife and children.

The leadership was so delighted by his subtle flattery that they immediately granted him a week’s leave and promised that if there were any difficulties with the school, the military could intervene on their behalf.
