In the seventies and eighties, it was really not easy for the grassroots company and platoon-level officers in our army. You may not believe it, but at that time, their monthly salary was only a few tens of yuan, which may not even be able to afford a meal now, let alone support a family. Most of these officers are from the countryside, and most of their wives are women from the countryside, with children, and they are living a hard life in the army.
At that time, in order to take care of the families of these officers, the army also set up some small factories, hoping that the military wives would have a place to work and earn some money to subsidize their families. However, these factories are all petty and can't make much money, and the income of the military wives is pitiful. Sometimes the factory was shut down for months, and the military wives had no income. They are also anxious and want to help their husbands, but what can they do?
Speaking of accommodation, it's even more distressing. Except for the company commander and instructor, who can have a single room to live in, the other officers have to crowd the bunk with the soldiers. You think, it's a big night, so many people sleeping in the same room, how disturbing. Moreover, after the military wives came, they had no place to live, so they could only live in the company's temporary guest house. If there are many people on holidays, it will be even worse, and some military wives even have to live in tool rooms or pigsties. Hey, it's sad to think about.
Eating is also a big problem. The soldiers ate for free, but the cadres had to pay for the food. Those cadres with large family members, pay one person's money, and the whole family has to eat in the company canteen. Now it's good, the company's expenses are much larger, and the soldiers are not happy, feeling that the cadres have taken advantage of them. As for the cadres, they are also bitter, what do you think they can do?
However, it was in such a predicament that these grassroots company and platoon-level officers persevered. They know that the burden on their shoulders is heavy, and the security of the country and the stability of the army are inseparable from them. So, they gritted their teeth and survived. Their tenacity and perseverance are really admirable.
At that time, the officers knew in their hearts that although their salaries were not high, the responsibilities on their shoulders were as heavy as Mount Tai. They know that they can't complain, they can't back down, they can only move forward. So, they wake up early every day to start the day's work and training. Whether it is cold or hot, or windy or rainy, they stick to their posts and guard the peace of the country.
As for the military wives, it's not easy. With their children, they live a life of uncertainty in the army. Sometimes when the husband goes on a mission, they have to carry the whole family alone. Although they were also scared and lonely in their hearts, they knew that their husbands were outside for the safety of the country and the people, and they could not cause trouble for him. Therefore, they silently endured everything, and supported their husbands' careers with their strength and bravery.
At that time, although the conditions were difficult, the feelings between people were very sincere. Whether it is an officer or a soldier, everyone is like a family, helping each other and supporting each other. The military wives are also like sisters, sharing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of life together. This kind of sincere affection makes people feel particularly warm and touched.
Looking back now, those days were a little hard, but they were quite meaningful. At that time, although the living conditions were not good, the spirit was very full. They have firm beliefs and pursuits, and will not hesitate to pay any price for the safety and happiness of the country and the people. This kind of spirit is really worth learning and inheriting.
In the end, I have to mention the families of those grassroots company and platoon-level officers. Their family, despite all the hardships and hardships, has always maintained an optimistic and strong attitude. They know that as long as the family is united, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. So, they always supported each other and walked through those difficult days together.
Now, these officers are retired, and their children are grown. Whenever they recall those years, they are always filled with emotion. They said, it was a little hard at that time, but it was also quite meaningful. At that time, they paid their youth and blood for the safety and happiness of the country and the people. This kind of spirit is really worth remembering and inheriting forever.
So, when we are living better and better, don't forget those who have paid for the country and the people. Their efforts and dedication have led to our happy life today. We must cherish the present days, live well, work hard, and contribute our strength to our motherland and people!
