Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Zhen Fu Gang

Cheng Su accompanied Qi Taiguo all the way through the village to the main road, where they were greeted by many of the villagers.

"Where are you two off to? Heading back to the unit? Oh my, you’ve only been married for a few days, and you have to return to the ranks already? Well, yes, you’re a company commander now, the responsibilities are heavy..."

In those words, one could always hear a sense of admiration. Cheng Su glanced at Qi Taiguo and saw him walking with his head held high and chest out, standing tall and straight, which made her chuckle.

Indeed, Qi Taiguo was only twenty-eight this year. He joined the army right after junior high when he was what, fifteen or sixteen years old?

In just over a decade, a boy from the countryside with no backing had persevered to his current rank. It was no wonder he was so proud.

A capable person has the foundation for pride. If Qi Taiguo kept being so ambitious, given time, he would truly stand out.

"What’s with that look?" Qi Taiguo couldn’t help but ask when he saw the ambiguity in her gaze.

"Nothing much, just thinking about how someone your age has already become a company commander. I wonder how you’ve endured these years!" Cheng Su did not hide her thoughts and expressed them openly.

Qi Taiguo was startled, not expecting such a question from her. His heart warmed slightly as he looked towards the distant mountains and forests. How did he struggle through? Simply by risking his life, that’s all.

Through wind and rain, amidst bullets and explosions, he fought his way step by step from an enlisted soldier to a commissioned officer. There was no luck involved, just risking his life and accumulating military achievements to earn the position of company commander.

And he had only just begun to fill this position; there was still a long way to go.

But he was still young, with plenty of opportunities ahead. Thinking of this, Qi Taiguo felt a surge of indomitable spirit and said, "Endure what? I’m a soldier, and I naturally shoulder the responsibilities of a soldier. All my actions are my duty. The country awarded me with the rank of company commander because the nation trusts me."

So cheesy!

Cheng Su curled her lip.
