Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1682 Butterfly Effect 2

After hearing the whole story, Feng Qingxue said bluntly, "Erxiong beating him is just what he deserves."

Treasure Bead is pitiful enough; without Liu Zhenguo’s care, she doesn’t get a trace of warmth in the Liu Family. The Liu Family’s youngest even refuses to let her go, snatching her sweet potato cake—he practically asked for a beating.

Probably, when the other party tried to snatch it, they provoked Fubao.

Their family often reminds their son that Fubao is the only girl and needs everyone’s protection.

Lu Jiang laughed; he hadn’t forgotten that his wife always believed in solving problems head-on, often finding that fighting was the best solution because some people like to argue irrationally and refuse to listen to reason.

"As long as nothing major and unsolvable happens at home, Ajiang, don’t forget about the family when you’re busy. I’m not at home; you, as the father, can’t just ignore them. Comfort the children when they cry and tell them I’ll bring them good food when I return. There are plenty of dried seafood here!"

Feng Qingxue didn’t ask Lu Jiang what he’d done in the upcoming sea battle, nor did she go into detail about her current situation. First, it was military secrecy, and secondly, many things couldn’t be said over the phone as they might be leaked.

For the same reason, Lu Jiang couldn’t give his wife the latest news, but he could only say stoically, "You stay safe. I’ll handle everything."

Feng Qingxue understood, "Don’t worry."

The country’s policy is if the enemy doesn’t move, we don’t move; when the enemy attacks, we retaliate. We’re currently in a defensive stage.

For months, Lu Jiang dispatched several batches of the best special forces like Zhan Wufeng and others to secretly infiltrate the enemy, gathering much useful intelligence and making preemptive preparations.

Without Feng Qingxue’s knowledge, the situation in the war had drastically changed.

In the following days, Lu Jiang kept a constant watch on the sea battle. Just as history recorded, the Yue Kingdom recklessly invaded several islands in the Xisha Islands, disregarding our Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statements. However, we were well prepared; fishing boats that should have been at sea weren’t working there, and the militia didn’t rush to fight, so there were no casualties. Instead, the military ships stationed on the islands beforehand launched a counterattack.

Feng Qingxue was on one of the submarine chasers and witnessed our side block and intercept, decisively sinking the invading warships. Several islands didn’t fall directly into enemy hands, even if the opposition declared them as part of their territory.

Historically, these islands fell into enemy hands, the national flag was shot down, and only reclaimed at a great cost.

In this lifetime, we had no sacrifices, only more than twenty people were injured.

By mid-January, everything had settled.

A short day of counterattack had left an indelible mark on Feng Qingxue’s life.

After the end of the conflict, the vessels continued to patrol the sea to prevent an enemy counterattack. The country had also firmly controlled the core areas of the Xisha Islands, laying a solid foundation for recovering other islands in the future.

Currently, many islands are still in the hands of the Yue army, such as the Nansha Islands and the peripheral waters of Xisha.

While the U.S. had turned defensive, the Yue Kingdom received support from the Soviet Union, further worsening Sino-Soviet relations. Stationed in the Northern Hebei Region, Lu Jiang was so busy that he couldn’t even return home for the Spring Festival.

Feng Qingxue also spent the New Year at sea.

Although there was no festive atmosphere, the cooking unit made many dishes, especially fish and shrimp. During patrols, with no ongoing battles, navy soldiers not on duty and the cooking unit would net fish to replenish supplies, truly embodying the saying "live off the mountain by the mountain, live off the sea by the sea."
