Chapter 155: The Idea of Helping the Veterans
Chen Yunzhang's words made Fang Dalei speechless, as if he felt that he had countless reasons, and he felt that every reason could not be spoken.
"Don't say Uncle Fang, he went to ask for food for us, you are bad people, you go"
"Debao, don't talk nonsense, Miss Zhou and Mr. Chen gave us a lot of money today, and everything you eat is bought with other people's money. ”
"Then I won't eat it" Debao was a very temperamental child, threw the bun on the ground, and looked at Zhou Min and the others angrily.
At this time, the emaciated woman stepped forward, picked up the buns thrown on the ground, and said with a sinking face: "Debao, apologize to the guest"
"Mother, I'm sorry. Debao didn't want to apologize, but as soon as the woman raised her eyes, he was suddenly frightened and reluctantly apologized.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Zhou, it's not that Da Lei has no backbone, there are so many people who need to be fed, we all crawl out of the pile of dead, except for me and Debao, the rest are injured, and we may have shortcomings in our bodies, we have also thought about working to support ourselves, but no one wants to recruit us, now every day they take turns to ask for food, I go out to cook and wash clothes for others, relying on these we have survived until now, without starvation. ”
"Since you have fought in the past, why don't you go to the army to receive a pension?" Zhou Min asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, pensions? In the toughest times, we tried, but we were kicked out, the pensions have been embezzled by officials, we were beaten out, they said we were liars. Said a big boy with a missing arm, who looked about the same age as Zhou Min.
His words made Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang very silent, dignity is important, survival is even more important.
"I'm sorry, I retract what I just said, what are you going to do next? Keep going like this?" Chen Yunzhang asked.
"Naturally, we don't want to beg for a living, but now that we are disabled, we can't do anything, sir, I can see that you two are people with great ability, can you help them and your mother, and be with us wasted people, and suffer them. ”
"Yes, sir, you can help them. ”
"If we didn't drag them down, the two of them would have been fine"
Everyone said, their eyes full of anticipation, hoping to get a positive answer. Fang Dalei has both expectation and reluctance in his eyes.
Chen Yunzhang glanced at Zhou Min, Zhou Min looked at everyone and said: "I understand your situation, but I'm sorry I can't promise you now, I need to go back and prepare, even if I can help you, you don't want to live on charity every day, I will find you some livelihood, you wait for my news." ”
Zhou Min said that she couldn't promise them that the hope in everyone's eyes was gone, but her next words made everyone feel hopeful.
"You wait for my news, and I'll come to you in two days. Then we'll take our leave. ”
"Thank you, both of you, and look forward to seeing you in two days. ”
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
After Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang left, the people in the room began to discuss.
"Cui Ping, if the two of them come over in two days, you can take Debao and her away. The two of them seem to be either rich or expensive, and they should be able to keep their word. ”
"Uncle Fang, I'm not leaving, I want to be with you, woo woo, you don't want me and my mother anymore. Little Debao burst into tears as soon as he said that.
The people in the room were all saddened when they heard his cry.
On the way back to the mansion, Zhou Min asked the driver to turn around and go to the newspaper office.
"Weimo, today's incident should not be accidental, I think many injured veterans are not treated as they should be, we will go to the newspaper office later, let the newspaper reporter investigate the situation of the disabled veteran, I plan to apply to the government, set up a rescue station. ”
"Minmin, your ideas are always so long-term and so new. ”
"Huh"
Zhou Min could accept Chen Yunzhang's words of appreciation, but Zhou Min couldn't accept his hot gaze, and turned his head lightly to look out of the car window, feeling the traffic outside.
Chen Yunzhang saw that Zhou Min didn't answer, just turned his head, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, he suddenly grabbed Zhou Min's hand and put it in his big hand.
Zhou Min was startled by his sudden movements, and his eyes looking at the scenery immediately looked at Chen Yunzhang, not understanding why he made such an almost abrupt movement?
Looking at the question on Zhou Min's face, Chen Yunzhang smiled gently, "Minmin, you will always be the best in my heart." ”
"Hehe" Zhou Min smiled unnaturally, and then began to withdraw his hand from Chen Yunzhang's hand. But Chen Yunzhang's hands are like pliers, no matter how hard she tries, she can't pull them out, and Zhou Min's movements don't dare to be too big, for fear of being discovered by the driver in front.
Zhou Min looked at Chen Yunzhang with some annoyance, Chen Yunzhang looked at her and suddenly said: "Minmin, I will leave in a few days, the next time we see each other is far away, I have had a very happy life since I met you, every thought of you gives me a feeling of a new world, I like this feeling very much, and it is different from my past years." Later, the war broke out, and as the saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. But when I met you, even the chaotic world was worth it, from you taking in our brothers from the 2nd Company to escorting you back to Shanghai, I am glad to have walked with you all the way. ”
Hearing Chen Yunzhang say this, Zhou Min's feelings eased, and when he thought that Chen Yunzhang was leaving, the next time they met in this war era was indeed far away. The two worked together all the way through the difficulties, and when Zhou Min thought of this, he stopped struggling and let Chen Yunzhang hold it.
In the process of Zhou Min's struggle, the car stopped at the door of the newspaper office, Zhou Min looked at Chen Yunzhang and said, "Have you held enough?"
"Enough, enough, hehe. ”
Zhou Min gave him a blank look and walked into the newspaper office, now Bill was busy with the hotel, Zhou Min found the editor-in-chief and said what he saw and heard today and his thoughts.
"Minmin, I think your idea is very good, this is a matter of concern, but once it is reported, it will definitely cause shock from all sides, especially the authorities and government, and a careless will also cause instability in the military. ”
"Uncle De, I really haven't thought about what you said, it seems that the old saying is right, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, thanks to your reminder, if you rashly report it, it will really cause an uproar. Zhou Min looked at Uncle De and Chen Yunzhang with palpitations.
If this is reported, the shock caused will definitely not be small, and the common people will be dissatisfied with the second, and it will be more strict to shake the morale of the army, and the most terrible thing is that the Nationalist Government will be attacked by Yan'an. The more Zhou Min thought about it, the more he could shoot, and he thought to himself, fortunately, he was not impulsive.
"Minmin, your idea is good, I will set up a secret investigation for you, and then report the report to some channels for the authorities to know, and then set up a civilian veterans' relief association after receiving a reply. ”
"Okay, Uncle De, I'll listen to you. ”
