Preamble:
In 1956, the founding lieutenant general Cheng Jun found his father-in-law, hoping to marry his wife Zhou Yuexiang's sister Zhou Yueqian.
Originally, Cheng Jun thought that the old man would strongly oppose it, but he didn't think about it, and the old man actually happily said: Very good, very good.
So, why did General Sungjun marry his sister-in-law? Is Zhou Yuexiang really voluntary?
Happy ending
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cheng Jun, who had distinguished himself during the war years, was also appointed commander of the air defense unit of the East China Military Region.
Since then, Lieutenant General Sung-kyun has been working on the development of the continental air force and air defense forces.
In addition to the pride in his military career, the relationship between him and his wife Zhou Yuexiang has also become deeper and deeper.
Because the two got together less and separated more during the war years, they cherished this hard-won happy time after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, before they could enjoy themselves, the unexpected happened.
One day in 1954, Zhou Yuexiang suddenly felt unwell and found that he was seriously ill after going to the hospital for examination.
It is also caused by the root cause of the disease left during the war years, and it is extremely difficult to treat.
What's even more surprising is that Zhou Yuexiang's condition developed extremely rapidly this time, and within a few days, the hospital found that it was almost incurable.
After the superiors learned about it, they hurriedly contacted the top doctors in China to diagnose and treat Zhou Yuexiang, but it was already too late.
Due to the relatively backward medical conditions in China at that time, coupled with the rapid development of Zhou Yuexiang's condition, the doctors were powerless and could only treat conservatively to prolong life as much as possible.
Cheng Jun, who learned the news, was deeply shocked, and Zhou Yuexiang was also depressed all day long.
After a long time, Chengjun's body also had various problems, and seeing this situation, Zhou Yuexiang was very distressed.
She understands that she must pull herself together and not interfere with her husband's work.
So Zhou Yuexiang said to Cheng Jun: Don't be too sad, take our children to live well.
However, as her body became weaker and weaker, a worry in Zhou Yuexiang's heart became heavier and heavier.
Zhou Yuexiang's worries
What should I do with my two children, Sungkyun's work is very busy, and the two children are still young and need to be taken care of.
Now that he is about to leave, the fate of his two children is also deeply affected.
After some ideological struggle, Zhou Yuexiang came up with a solution.
That is to persuade Sung-kyun to marry another wife after her death, so as to take care of Sung-kyun and the children.
But soon, this idea was vetoed by Zhou Yuexiang.
Because she was worried that Sung-kyun's second wife would treat her children badly, she fell into deep entanglements and self-blame.
However, just when she was frowning about this matter, the appearance of a person gave her hope.
This person is Zhou Yuexiang's sister Zhou Yueqian.
At that time, after learning the news that Zhou Yuexiang was seriously ill and hospitalized, Zhou Yuexiang's father hurriedly asked Zhou Yueqian to rush to Beijing to take care of her sister.
And Zhou Yueqian has had a good relationship with her sister since she was a child, so she is very happy to do this.
After Zhou Yuexiang saw her sister Zhou Yueqian, she had an idea in her heart, that is, to let Cheng Jun marry her sister Zhou Yueqian.
After all, if the two get married, there is no need to worry about the child, Zhou Yueqian is her sister after all.
So, Zhou Yuexiang hurriedly informed Zhou Yueqian of her thoughts, but Zhou Yueqian's reaction became Zhou Yuexiang's biggest regret.
After hearing that her sister wanted her to marry her brother-in-law, Zhou Yueqian was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Because Zhou Yueqian is a young woman with advanced ideas and a higher education, and she has made military exploits on the battlefield, her horizons are very broad.
He wanted the kind of young man like himself, and Sungjun was over forty years old at that time, which was very different from what he imagined.
So in order not to disappoint her sister, Zhou Yueqian just said lightly: I'll think about it.
In fact, for Zhou Yueqian, even if her sister doesn't say it, she will do her best to take care of her sister's children.
However, after Zhou Yueqian made a statement, Zhou Yuexiang's condition deteriorated quickly, and she unfortunately passed away soon after, and she did not get an answer from her sister until she died, which became Zhou Yuexiang's eternal regret.
After Zhou Yuexiang passed away, Zhou Yueqian came to Chengjun's house to take care of the two children, and invisibly took care of Chengjun's life.
Cheng Jun also knew his wife's last wish before she died, but in order to respect Zhou Yueqian, Cheng Jun never mentioned it.
But even if Cheng Jun didn't mention it, Zhou Yueqian's living in Cheng Jun's house still spread far and wide, and at the same time, it also attracted a lot of criticism to Zhou Yueqian.
Many people suspect that Zhou Yueqian is for the name of the general's wife, and Zhou Yueqian is very disdainful of this.
In addition, Zhou Yueqian's friends also persuaded her to agree to marry Cheng Jun, after all, Cheng Jun has always been a man with a gentle personality and a very gentle wife, but it is a good choice.
But at that time, Zhou Yueqian hadn't thought about it yet, so she could only deal with it.
However, a year later, Zhou Yueqian's mentality gradually changed.
After a year of getting along, Sungjun's gentleness and thoughtfulness made Zhou Yueqian feel the charm of his mature man.
Coupled with the persuasion of her friends, Zhou Yueqian, who still had some concerns at the beginning of the period, gradually wavered.
So prompted by fate, the two expressed their hearts to each other and agreed to be together.
However, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, so Zhou Yueqian decided to inform her father about this matter and see what her father thinks.
At first, Zhou Yueqian thought that her father would strongly oppose this marriage, but in fact, her father's attitude surprised her.
Because after her father learned of Zhou Yueqian's decision, he immediately agreed, and said happily: Very good, very good.
So with the consent of his father and the help of the organization, the two successfully got married.
After that, Cheng Jun also proved with his actions that he was a man worthy of trust, and he took good care of Zhou Yueqian, and the two respected each other and lived happily.
However, this matter is unethical after all, so Zhou Yueqian also suffered a lot of gossip.
In the eyes of some people, the reason why Zhou Yueqian is willing to marry Chengjun is that Tu Chengjun is the name of the founding general.
Some people also maliciously speculated that Zhou Yueqian had an affair with Cheng Jun for a long time, but it was only made public after Zhou Yuexiang's death.
In the face of these malicious remarks, Zhou Yueqian always scoffed, and when a friend asked, she also faintly recovered: I have a clear conscience.
Later, Cheng Jun also took the initiative to stand up and explain the causes and consequences of his marriage to Zhou Yueqian, and these negative remarks gradually disappeared.
With Zhou Yueqian's help, Cheng Jun can focus most of his energy on national defense construction.
During that time, the international situation was changing, and many countries with ill intentions often harassed the mainland's airspace.
Under the leadership of General Cheng Jun, the mainland's air defense forces have defended the motherland's airspace again and again, allowing those who have plotted against the enemy to return in vain.
For the family, General Cheng Jun is also conscientious, and he goes home to visit Zhou Yueqian whenever he has time.
It can really be said that General Chengjun guards the country, and Zhou Yueqian guards General Chengjun.
Epilogue:
The marriage between General Chengjun and Zhou Yueqian was also a good story that was circulated. The two heal each other and help each other, and their happy life is also enviable.
