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.
