70: Taming the Husband with Little Red Flowers

In the 1970s, Zhao Qiulin dressed as the military wife of a cold-faced battalion commander. The whole hospital said that Lu Zheng was a boring gourd who "doesn't talk when he comes in and doesn't look back when he leaves." She didn't make any fuss, she only did one thing: when he did something right, she put a small red flower somewhere where he couldn't see it. From making a sound when entering the door to reporting when going out, from a glass of warm water on the stove to a note in the inner pocket - all the thirty-seven military wives in the hospital followed suit. She organized mutual aid meetings, wrote thirty-seven principles, and taught military wives to "return, pour water, and wait for others." Until the reputation spread to the division, trouble began. Complaint letter, theoretical suppression, high-level smear campaign - besieged by three parties, Qiulin was investigated. Lu Zheng stood in front of the investigation team and took out the folded note from his inner pocket: "My wife wrote it, I recognize it." The most detailed record of military marriage development in the entire Internet. She used little red flowers to tame the most well-behaved battalion commander in the whole family.
