Chapter 202: Someone Sacrificed
Four more!
"I'll be honest with you. Ever since the two of us met on the train, I've been muttering to myself. You said that you came to this place with such good conditions, and the men you recruited must be alive in their hearts. Maybe she was leaving, Ding Mei suddenly said what was in her heart.
"I'm glad you didn't come, because the big guys are the same, and they may not be better than me. But when you come, it's all the same in the compound. You were dressed nicely and fashionably at that time, and everyone wanted to wear the same thing as you in the background. Once you wore a sweater with a fake collar, and it looked so good-looking. The big guy said that he was demonic, said that he was all daughters-in-law, and he was dressed like a student and was not serious. The whole fake collar is sewn on the back, hehe, this person is like this, and he is always angry with others. ”
Ding Mei smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Cuilian's face and smiled: "I really envy people like you." You said that you don't care about other people's eyes at all, and you even look good when you go to the service club. No, you look good at home by yourself. ”
"It's not the goal to look good, it's because I think a good image makes me feel confident. This confidence is not only about savings, but also about income. It's about knowing that although you're not making money, you're still paying for the family. You two are equal! What Zhang Cuilian said Ding Mei thought was ridiculous.
"What an equal. Men and women have not been equal since ancient times. A woman should wait for a man to have children
Zhang Cuilian wanted to tell her that women don't clean up decently to make others feel good-looking. It's not about hooking up with men outside, it's about respecting yourself.
Do housewives have to be unkempt? That's right, how comfortable you can be. But when you greet your husband from work with unkempt hair, can you calmly face the disgusting eyes of others?
Housewives aren't jobs? You are a wife, a woman who works as a stay-at-home wife at home. Lying on the kang and watching TV, the ground is full of melon seed skins. When the guests come, they don't know how to live comfortably?
A man knows the hard work of his daughter-in-law and children at home, but he may not be able to see it clearly. When he came home, he saw his wife disheveled and the house in a mess. The child cried, and the daughter-in-law shouted: You finally come back, I will starve to death.
Who would think such a picture is warm? Especially men who are stressed out at work. He thinks you don't have half an hour or even ten minutes in a day to tidy up the house? You don't have the heart to wash your face and brush your teeth for five minutes when you're tired?
In those days, how did a woman who gave birth to eight children and still work in the fields and cook at home?
As long as the question is raised, the woman can't stand it. They feel that they are not the kind of people who suffer in the first place, and they marry you to have children for you and you still do this to me. Especially if your mother doesn't take care of me, you still have a reason.
At most, men will comply on the face and coax you to let you vent and calm people. But I was very depressed in my heart, because my dearest woman actually accused her mother in front of her.
"She is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me, and she has worked hard for most of her life. No one has the right to blame her, especially herself who has already given birth to a child. "You said you worked hard, didn't my mother work hard back then?
Zhang Cuilian knew that Ding Mei didn't say anything less, and Zhou Peng didn't blame her less for this. One is someone who thinks your mother doesn't treat me as your family, and the other thinks you don't treat my mother as your own mother to honor. Each other felt that the other party was not too selfish enough, and slowly became defensive.
Husbands and wives don't become resentful couples, and even if no one intervenes, it won't last long. It's just that some people don't find the next one, and some people don't dare to endure the loneliness of being alone.
But not all people can understand this, even if Zhang Cuilian is reborn once, it is difficult to do it. The topic that Zhang Cuilian suddenly mentioned last time made Gu Zhicheng's face change greatly. In retrospect, I don't seem to have said anything excessive. Gu Zhicheng didn't want to explain, and she didn't want to hold on to it. But even so, she still felt a thorn stuck in her heart.
Ding Mei lived in Zhang Cuilian's house, and every day she remarks that women are dependent on men's lives. She seemed to be persuading herself, as if she had no way out as long as she didn't give birth to a son.
A few days after the two fought, Ding Mei's mother-in-law came. led Ding Mei to the hospital for an examination, and sure enough, she was pregnant. When I got home, I got into trouble with my son, saying that unfilial piety is the greatest.
Zhou Peng said: "Go to the hospital to see, if it's a boy this time, I'll report on changing jobs." I wanted to prevaricate, but I didn't expect the old lady to eat this, saying that even if it was a girl, she had to give birth until she gave birth to a son.
didn't even hesitate to go to the leader, but no one expected that the final result was that Zhou Peng really made a job transfer report. At this time when everyone was squeezing their heads and wanting to go to the Y brigade, Zhou Peng packed up his things and led his wife and children away.
The speed is amazing, and Mrs. Yu even took Ding Mei's hand to wipe her tears: "What a good child, I won't be able to see you in the future." If you give birth to a son, you'll have to give me a letter!" ”
Ding Mei was very happy and spoke boldly to Zhang Cuilian. said that this time when she went home, she was going to go all out to engage in production, and she was not afraid to open a small store and ask Zhou Peng for money.
The family left, and the spot became vacant. No one has moved in yet, and the West Courtyard seems to be much quieter.
The vacancy of the Y Brigade came down, and the results were a big surprise. A hot candidate like Gu Zhicheng fell off the list, and two inconspicuous figures left happily.
Various reasons lead to reverie, but I have to say that Zhang Cuilian is relieved. She really didn't want Gu Zhicheng to take another step, it was self-evident what the place was. She didn't have too many expectations for his career, she just hoped that he wouldn't work so hard in this life and could be happy all year round.
In the spring, a big event happened in the compound, and Commander Qi was sacrificing. Some people say that it was blown up during a close-range test of a long-range missile, some say that it was because it participated in secret activities, some say that it was actually an actual combat exercise, and some say that it was just an ordinary training.
But no matter who says what, it doesn't matter anymore. Lian Commander Qi can't come back, leaving a pair of orphans and widows. The army decided to let his family stay here until she wanted to leave herself.
Gu Zhicheng's mood was very low, and he told Zhang Cuilian that Company Commander Qi had saved his life. Just when he was just transferred, he had an accident on a mission and was rescued by Company Commander Qi.
Zhang Cuilian knew this, when she first came to have dinner that day. In addition to the neighbors, he also invited people who were friends with his own battalion and other battalions, and Company Commander Qi was among them.
His daughter was born in 1982 and is about to start junior high school. At this time when the expenses were relatively large, the head of the family collapsed with a bang. Not to mention that Sister Ruan, the wife of Lian Chang Qi, collapsed, even if she heard it, she was worried about them.
What worries about their mother and daughter is not only how they will live in the future, but also the pension, funeral expenses, and the relatives are already eyeing the money.
Qi Lianchang's family felt that the money should be distributed equally, at least Qi Jiguang's parents and wife should enjoy it. Because Commander Qi's child is a daughter, they believe that they have no right to inherit the property.
It's a pity that Qi Lian's body is not cold, and he has to watch his relatives fight for his little pension.
Gu Zhicheng couldn't stand it and ran around for days, and ordered the little soldiers in the family courtyard not to let the Qi family come in. But where can I see it, a big wall in the family area of the West Courtyard leads to the houses of the local people. Gu Zhicheng was worried that Qi Lianchang's wife and children would be bullied by his in-laws. took her to live in her own house, and Sister Chen didn't want to make trouble for Zhang Cuilian. lived in Ding Mei's yard, and Zhang Cuilian sent her coal and wooden stumbling blocks.
Let them come to live in their own house during the day, first, so that Qi Jiaojiao can have a learning environment, and second, let Sister Chen have someone to talk to.
"Don't be afraid! A bereavement pension is not an inheritance and cannot be distributed according to the estate. Zhang Cuilian patted Sister Chen's hand: "Brother Qi's family can't ask for money so blatantly, not to mention that there are many people who don't have much money and they don't have a share." ”
Sister Chen said worriedly: "But my father-in-law and mother-in-law are no one else, so they should share some of the past." ”
Zhang Cuilian rolled her eyes: "They have eight children, don't tell me that the other seven don't have to support the elderly." So many people want some money, so shameless. Brother Qi's biological flesh and blood is just that, and he hasn't been in junior high school yet. ”
Sister Chen sighed: "I don't know how much money I can give, so let them come over and share it." Hey, I'm worried about how I'm going to live in the future. ”
Zhang Cuilian didn't understand, frowned and thought for a while: "It seems that it was a martyr and a martyr who died in the line of duty, which was 10 times the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the previous year plus the basic salary of the first 40 months of his life." ”
Sister Chen raised her head: "How do you know so much?" ”
Zhang Cuilian pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "It's not that I understand, I see that Lao Gu is busy." I just wanted to help, and that's what I inquired about. and not counted. ”
Sister Chen suddenly cried loudly: "Why is it so unfair, why do you just give this money." If you want me to say that, we should pay our mother and wife every month according to the salary of our relatives. It was sent until his retirement position, and the buyout fee had to be paid off at one time on the day of retirement. ”
Qi Jiaojiao was writing homework in front of the desk, but suddenly ran out and cried loudly: "Yes, yes, my father sacrificed for the country and the people." This is what the state owes us, this is what the state owes us! ”
Zhang Cuilian was shocked by the hatred in the eyes of the mother and daughter, and she didn't know if it was said by the Qi family or if the mother and daughter thought it themselves.
