Why are military wives called military wives?

Why do soldiers and those who have served in the army affectionately call their wives "sister-in-law"? This is a bit difficult to explain to people outside the military camp. I remember that it was a joke not long after I arrived in the army. The squad leader said to me, "My sister-in-law is coming to the team, so I have to prepare a room for her." After saying that, he took me to the company commander's dormitory, moved a single camp bed in, and put it together with the company commander's single bed. This move surprised me, and I immediately shouted: "How can my sister-in-law sleep with the company commander?!" The squad leader was calm: "What's all the fuss about?" I said, "Even if the company commander is willing, your sister-in-law Are you willing?" The squad leader laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath: "Sister-in-law is the company commander's family! This is what soldiers call military family members.

It probably started in the 1990s. "Military wife" is often used to refer to military wives. This is a good term that not only expresses respect, but also conveys a sense of intimacy that can only be understood. In the traditional family concept, a sister-in-law is both an outsider and a relative. The blood relationship is like "breaking bones and connecting tendons" because of the elder brother; and my sister-in-law has a loving mother's heart, but she still has the tacit understanding of her peers. As a person who does not have an elder brother, I have always envied those who have a sister-in-law. People - if you have torn clothes in a fight outside, you can ask your sister-in-law to sew them up secretly, instead of having to risk scolding to "help" your mother.

So, the family members of soldiers naturally deserve a word of truth. Kind "sisters-in-law", whether they are the "old-fashioned sisters-in-law" who are illiterate but are always busy washing and washing the soldiers, or the "new-style sisters-in-law" who are educated and can teach the soldiers foreign languages ????and computers, they all seem to have the same personality. Shining with the brilliance of the same line, it is the brilliance of women who combine the virtues of the Chinese nation such as gentleness, tenacity, loyalty, and perseverance.

Sister-in-law can always enliven the family atmosphere with feminine warmth, and is a leader in the military. This is especially true for "sisters-in-law". In the masculine military camp, military wives are the most beautiful scenery, whether it is an isolated island in Xisha or a snowy outpost, their arrival will make the all-male world appear more vibrant. . The military wife is hard-working and capable, leading everyone to clean and make dumplings; the military wife is talented, tutoring everyone in culture, and playing and singing with everyone... As a family member, the military wife belongs to her husband; but as a sister-in-law, she belongs to her husband. For all the officers and soldiers of the company.

The military wife is a moving song, every note is like the formation of wild geese over the Great Wall, expressing the attachment to her husband and national defense; the military wife is a vivid painting, silently Her dedication has left too many blank spaces and regrets in her life, but this blank space complements the heroic spirit of the iron horse; the military wife is an eternal poem that sings the ups and downs of life into a flat and smooth line, making the border The cold moon is missing and full.
