Daily Life After Marriage in the 1960s

Upon waking up, Jiang Suihan realized that her life was just as terrible as ever, and she began thinking about how to escape from this miserable existence. Then, an opportunity presented itself. After much consideration, Jiang Suihan decided that Xu Zhao, the older brother, was tough, quiet, handsome, and dependable. She resolved to pack herself and her younger brother up and follow him to join the military. News spread through the military family compound: it was rumored that Captain Xu had brought back a delicate and frail-looking young wife. The military wives gossiped in private—some were curious, some made sarcastic remarks, and some thought it was a pity. They shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this tender-skinned city girl wouldn’t be able to endure life in the mountains and would likely be crying to go back home within a month. But as they waited and waited… Later, after witnessing Xu Zhao’s various ways of doting on his wife, they couldn’t help but look at their own husbands with increasing dissatisfaction.
