Military wife Wang Dantong and soldier brother Chen Shuangquan are both natives of Dangshan County, Anhui Province, the beautiful "Lidu". After they established a relationship 10 years ago, Chen Shuangquan was drafted into the army to serve on the border plateau more than 2,000 kilometers away.

Wang Dantong and Chen Shuangquan have been classmates for three years in high school. Wang Dantong is quiet and gentle, and Chen Shuangquan is smart and naughty. Wang Dantong said: "At that time, there was no spark of love between the two of them," and he even disliked his naughty roommate. At the reunion in the year of high school graduation, for some reason the two had a vague feeling of first love. Later, Wang Dantong was admitted to college, but Chen Shuangquan failed. Wang Dantong persuaded Chen Shuangquan to repeat one year and then take the college entrance examination, but Chen Shuangquan wanted to realize his dream of a green military camp. , Wang Dantong did not object.
In December 2010, Chen Shuangquan passed the physical examination and political examination and was drafted into the army. On the day he enlisted in the army, Wang Dantong took leave from school and traveled thousands of miles back to his hometown to see him off. The two agreed to meet in two years and never separate.
It was 4 o'clock in the morning on the day Chen Shuangquan was sent off to the army. It was snowing heavily and there were many people seeing him off. After the car started to move, the relatives who were following the car to send off the soldiers were so crowded that the two of them didn't even have time to look at each other. Firecrackers were going off in the car. The smoke quickly disappeared, leaving only Wang Dantong's empty heart and cold tears.
At that time, the army did not allow the use of mobile phones, and they could only contact us by phone once a week or half a month, and there was a daily "countdown".
Wang Dantong clearly remembers that on the second to last day of the "countdown", when they were expecting to meet each other, Chen Shuangquan called excitedly and told him that he would stay in the team and become a first-term non-commissioned officer due to his outstanding performance. Although she was disappointed when she heard the news, she was even more pleased. From then on, she stopped doing subtraction calculations and silently added things to her sweetheart. She wished him a bright future in the army.
After the Spring Festival in 2013, he learned that Chen Shuangquan was going on vacation. To give him a surprise, Wang Dantong decided to go to the army to take Chen Shuangquan home for vacation. She was reluctant to take the sleeper berth, so she bought a hard seat and took the train to the west. In fact, her heart had already flown to him. After two days of ups and downs on the journey, as soon as she got off the train in Lanzhou and was about to change trains, he called and said that she could not take a vacation because she was going to perform an urgent and major training mission in other places. He asked her not to come to the army and to return directly by train.
Things changed so suddenly that Wang Dantong was stunned for a moment, and his passionate heart suddenly fell to the bottom. What she didn't expect was that the dramatic plot actually happened to Jingran. To love him is to understand him. She held back her grievances and tears, told him not to worry about her, not to be distracted, and to work in the army with peace of mind, and got on the return train alone.

In 2015, Wang Dantong worked in the County Disabled Persons' Federation after graduating from university. She and Chen Shuangquan agreed that if they could not stay in the army after the first term of non-commissioned officers, they would get married when they came back and they would not be separated. After discussing with their parents, they bought a house in the county.
Chen Shuangquan is in the army, his family is in Hefei, and his parents work in Lizhuang Town, Dangshan County. The burden of decorating the house falls on Wang Dantong's weak shoulders. She bought materials and found workers all by herself. Once when she was laying floor tiles, she still needed a bag of cement. The worker left after get off work, and she moved a 100-pound bag of cement, which weighed as much as she did, to the second floor step by step. 's home. When the neighbor saw her, she praised her and said: I never thought that you, a fair and clean girl, could work like a man.
In the work unit, Wang Dantong also rushes to do the dirty work. The work is neat and tidy, and the work is handled in an orderly manner. For the people who come to consult and apply for disability certificates, he provides enthusiastic service without shirk and provides detailed answers without being annoyed. Once after get off work at noon, a 70-year-old man came to apply for a disability certificate. His home was in Zhulou Town, Hong Kong. When he was leaving, it suddenly started raining heavily. The old man did not bring an umbrella and was extremely anxious. He had to go to Nanguan, Hong Kong. Go take the bus home. After understanding the situation, Wang Dantong drove his car, helped the old man into the car, and took the old man to the bus stop. He also bought food and tickets for the old man.
There is a colleague in the office who has young children at home. Sometimes he is busy with work and needs to work overtime. Wang Dantong takes the initiative to let his colleagues go home to take care of the children while he works overtime until late at night.

After eight years of long-distance relationship, at the urging of their parents, Chen Shuangquan and Wang Dantong decided to hold a wedding on August 24, 2017. Their families also notified their relatives and friends. Unexpectedly, on the night of August 22, the phone rang. Wang Dantong sleepily pressed the phone on speakerphone: "Baby, I'm sorry, the army has an urgent mission and I have to return to the army the day after tomorrow. What about our wedding?" Chen Shuangquan said anxiously.
"Isn't this a dream? We haven't fully enjoyed our lives together yet, but we are so far apart!" Wang Dantong seemed to be in a dream.
"It's not a dream, it's real. I have to go back. This is an order from the army!" Chen Shuangquan said.
Although he was deeply reluctant to give up, he could not distract him at this time. Wang Dantong, who had not slept all night, was reluctant to see Chen Shuangquan off at the high-speed rail station, and said to him resolutely: "Now that the wedding has been decided, you can go with ease. The wedding will be held as scheduled. I also want to hold the wedding!"
In an instant, Tears filled Chen Shuangquan's eyes. He gave her an emotional military salute, and then boarded the westbound train...

On August 24, 2017, when the wedding was held as scheduled, what was unexpected was that, with the approval of the army leaders, the man standing at the sentry post Chen Shuangquan held a video wedding with Wang Dantong. The relatives and friends present gave them sincere blessings and applause again and again. The nobleness and righteousness of the bride and groom infected the relatives and friends present. At that time, a paragraph hit the screen in the circle of friends: "The groom is carrying a gun, and the bride is putting on makeup. The groom received an emergency notice the day before the wedding and rushed back to the army overnight, and today he carried a gun and married the bride via video. I have seen too many weddings, this It was the most touching time. "
"My child, I am proud of you! Everyone admires your performance. You are the best at taking care of the overall situation!" At the wedding, her mother praised her with a smile. Of course, Wang Dantong also heard some rumors: "What kind of marriage is this? Can it be called a marriage without a groom? How can I not find a man?" But the enlightened father cheered his daughter humorously: "Put away the sadness, put away the longing. , face life bravely, and look forward to the beauty of tomorrow. In a word, go your own way and let others be happy." Her father's words made her depressed.

Wang Dantong's profound righteousness has always made Chen Shuangquan feel ashamed of his wife, so he made a promise to go home on vacation and celebrate the wedding anniversary. But he unexpectedly broke the appointment: One day at the end of July 2018, he sent Wang Dantong a message saying that because he was performing a major task, he could not come back from vacation to celebrate her wedding anniversary with her.
What made Wang Dantong even more unexpected was that this time he could not be contacted for a month and his mobile phone was handed over. In today's era, it can be said to be unimaginable for couples to lose their mobile phones and lose contact. As big as the sky is, so is the heart. Military wives must have a strong heart. Therefore, during the days of "lost contact", Wang Dantong watched CCTV's "News Network" program every day, imagining what kind of tasks her husband was performing, whether it was dangerous or safe, and spent every day in torment.

In the CCTV "Evening News" program at 22:00 on August 19, 2018, a man holding a steel gun The figure of the flag guard walking at the forefront of the team shocked her and she shouted excitedly: "Brother Quan, it's Brother Quan, I'm proud of you, proud of you!" With a heart that had been hung for more than 20 days, Finally let go, finally relieved, tears of excitement burst into my eyes. Afterwards, Wang Dantong said affectionately that when he saw him holding the steel gun, he really wanted to turn himself into that steel gun and let him hold it tightly in his chest to wipe away his fatigue and hard work and warm his body and mind. !

August 24, 2018, was a special day, but Wang Dantong did not expect anything extra. She returned from work as usual. When she arrived at the door of her house, she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, she saw that it was their neighbor who opened a flower shop upstairs. with a large bouquet of bright red roses. "Today is your wedding anniversary. Your lover specially called from the army to order this for you."
The sudden surprise made her extremely emotional: this was the first time he had sent flowers, and it was also the first time she had received such a gift. 99 roses with delicate beauty and overflowing fragrance.
The days after becoming a military wife include romance, surprises, lovesickness, and loss. However, in order to allow her husband to serve with peace of mind, she shares with him the happy, joyful, and joyful things at home through her mobile phone; the difficult things, worrying things, She takes care of everything by herself. In March this year, when she was more than two months pregnant, she accidentally fell while moving things upstairs and had a miscarriage. She told her family not to tell him, as he had a heavy workload and would be distracted if he found out. Later, the family accidentally let the news slip, and the husband called and choked with sobs: "Baby, I have made you suffer! I should be by your side at this time, but I am a soldier, so I can only wrong you. In this life, I It's enough to be a good soldier, change your career in the next life, go back to the warmest home, and be with the one you love the most!"
Wang Dantong knew that her husband was determined to be in the military camp and love the military camp. He said this because he made him care and miss him! . She understands better that beautiful love is more than just love between me and me, flowers in front of the moon, day and night. What she said most to her husband was: "A hundred words of "I love you" are not worth the words of "I am waiting for you." A hundred words of "I am waiting for you" are not worth the words of traveling across the mountains and ridges to see you."
The most painful thing is lovesickness, the most beautiful one. But military love!
