The noise coming from the courtyard surprised Zhang Yusheng. The family walked out of the house and saw the person who had been pestering in front of the door appeared in the courtyard. The first man wearing a black silk coat, fat body and slightly bald head, aged about 50 years old, saw Zhang Yusheng with a smile on his face and clasped his fists and said: "This chief is a brother-in-law?" "I'm Zhang Yusheng!" "Uncle is above, please bow to my brother-in-law!"

Zhang Yusheng frowned, his mouth was like eating a fly and he was sick to his stomach, but he had to say politely on the surface: "Please sit in the room!" The guest and the host sat down and the latecomer accosted: "The wife and brother are honored to return to their hometown, and the brother-in-law is far away." The contemptible people specially ordered a wine and food in the welcome building to catch the wind and wash the dust for his wife and brother. Please ask your brother-in-law and mother-in-law to enjoy the light. "What do you call it?" "Contemptible money, a single word is prosperous!" "Mr. Money! I'm a soldier and I talk straight to the point, there is no need for a banquet, just when you come, let's have a quick knife to temporarily mess up. ”

"As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father, and since I have come back to this family, I will call the shots. The eldest sister followed you without being wronged, and you treated her well. But my sister is a concubine and has no name. Since you are not husband and wife, you are not protected by law. Mr. Qian, from now on, I announce the dissolution of your relationship. As for how much money was spent on the fatherless burial, I will pay it back. "How's that good?" A cold sweat broke out in Qian Wang's head, and his eyes were aimed at the eldest sister.

The eldest sister bowed her head and was silent, a little embarrassed. Zhang Yusheng asked his mother how much money he had spent at the beginning, and after his mother answered, Zhang Yusheng took out a dozen fiat currencies and said, "This is 500 yuan to take it!" The extra money counts as interest. "The price is several times more reasonable, and the matter has come to this point, how dare Qian Wang refuse, so he had to take the money and leave. The mother apologized and said: "The sound of the rain, speaking of which Qian Wang is a good person, there is a shop at home is a solid family, and your eldest sister has no shortage of food, clothing, and food." has already been a concubine for others, how will you let her marry in the future? ”

Zhang Yusheng smiled: "Mother! Defeat Little Japan and build a new nation. The eldest sister is young and educated, and she can support herself. Our military hospital is recruiting, you go and sign up! The eldest sister's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked timidly: "Big brother, do you want to be in the Eighth Route Army like me?" "Big sister, be confident in yourself. You are educated, especially literate women, and our troops give priority to recruitment. The eldest sister starts with you, to break the secular concept and be a new woman of the times! ”

"Big brother, I listen to you!" The eldest sister's eyes brightened, and a red cloud appeared on her face. "Yusheng, speaking of which, we are at a loss, what if the Qian family comes to make trouble?" "I don't think Qian Wang is the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, mother, you don't have to worry! The government of the Republic of China will soon promulgate a new marriage law to implement monogamy, and there will be no more concubines in the future. "Big brother, I also want to join the Eighth Route Army!" The second sister begged. "Nonsense, you're going to go to school, and you're going to go to college."

"It's the same with my little brother, in the future, we want to build a new country free and free from oppression, you have to study hard and build a new country in the future." "Mother! This is my savings, you can use it first. My current salary is more than enough to support my family. After Zhang Yusheng finished speaking, he took out a thick dozen dollars and handed it to his mother. Yusheng, there is so much money at home, you better keep it for yourself! "Mother, my father is gone, and it is my responsibility to support the family." "Yusheng, my mother asked you if you are married?" "Nope!" "Are you still worried about Juanzi? It's a pity that a good girl! Mother sighed.

"What's wrong with Juanzi!" Zhang Yusheng stood up when he heard this, with an anxious look on his face. "I know you can't forget her, when you ran away from home, his father came to tell him that the doll you ordered was invalid. The year before last, his father was arrested as a laborer, and within half a year, bad news came that he had died in the Kailuan coal mine, leaving orphans and widows. In order to support her family, Juanzi was forced to become a dancer in Paramount, and the good girl was ruined like this! ”

Zhang Yusheng's heart was like a knife when he heard it, if Miss Juanzi was married and lived a good life, it would be fine. If he hadn't left home, he would have become his own son by now, and he would have harmed Juanzi. "Mother! I am a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, no matter what Juanzi's current identity is, I must marry her. "Yusheng, this can't be helped, outsiders will talk nonsense and poke our backbone." "Mother! Juanzi's transformation into a dancer has something to do with me directly, and I must be responsible. ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Yusheng went straight to Juanzi's house. Juanzi's big name is Cheng Lijuan and she lives on another street. When he came to the door of Juanzi's house and looked at the familiar courtyard door, Zhang Yusheng had mixed feelings, hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened, and a woman wearing a blue cloth cheongsam came out. The woman's long hair was tied with a white handkerchief, and her fair face was beautiful. The woman's eyes were a little dark, and her face was haggard.

The woman was slightly surprised when she saw Zhang Yusheng, and she didn't dare to look at it carefully, and said, "May I ask this chief, who are you looking for?" "Juanzi, it's so hard that you really can't recognize me!" Zhang Yusheng's tone was urgent and excited. Cheng Lijuan raised her head and stared wide-eyed, her fair face flushed. Suddenly, Cheng Lijuan's face changed suddenly, she covered her face with her hands and began to sob. "Juanzi, I'm back, I'm really back. I've been thinking about you for the past few years, and I haven't changed my mind. "Yusheng, I thought you were long gone, but you came back too late, and I'm not what I used to be."

Cheng Lijuan pear blossom took the rain and said: "Yusheng, my fate is like this, my body is dirty and not worthy of you, just because I am dead, you can go!" Zhang Yusheng grabbed Juanzi with both hands and said, "What are you talking about, what do you think of me?" I am an officer of the Eighth Route Army, to hell with the world, prejudice, and stereotypes! Juanzi, I know your situation, don't be discouraged and meet tomorrow's life with me, marry me! Without waiting for Juanzi to nod in agreement, Zhang Yusheng forcibly took Juanzi into his arms, and the two sides hugged each other tightly.

On the same day, Zhang Yusheng returned to the army station and immediately typed a marriage report and explained the details. During the war, it was forbidden to marry according to the rules of the officers. However, Zhang Yusheng's situation is a little special, and **** reported the situation to Ye Si. At this time, political commissar Luo Ronghuan took the marriage report written by Zhang Yusheng and said: "Brother Su, this is a special situation, I think it should be treated specially." Comrade Zhang Yusheng, who dared to challenge the decadent world and resolutely carried forward the new atmosphere, should be erected as a typical example. This situation is a common phenomenon nowadays, and if we write about it, its significance is immeasurable. ”

Su Yu said: "This move is a breakthrough to break the discrimination against women, and it is of epoch-making significance. Immediately ordered the **** military department to notify Zhang Yusheng to come to the headquarters. Brother Luo, this special marriage not only has to be approved, but you and I also have to attend the wedding. "Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be happier, okay! I have no opinion. "Soon, Zhang Yusheng hurried to the headquarters, and Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan were waiting to greet him." You are sure that you want to marry a dancer, and you don't care about gossip and worldly prejudices! Su Yu asked, wrenching his face.

"Report to the Commander, I'm sure I won't go back!" Zhang Yusheng straightened his chest and replied loudly. "Good job, it's my soldiers!" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan stepped forward and said kindly: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you are a combat hero, and it is your duty to treat death as home on the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely. On the battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, it is all the more necessary to charge into battle and play an exemplary role. The commander and I heard about you and thought you were doing the right thing. Not only did Noji approve your marriage, but the commander and I decided to attend your wedding. ”

Zhang Yusheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Welcome to the commander, political commissar!" "Before Chief of General Staff Ouyang left the army, he left a sum of money. And ordered that this money is specially prepared for the unmarried officers of the 1st Corps, and you can get 2,000 yuan according to your rank, and you go to the logistics department to collect it. "Commissar, I don't need it!" "What's hypocritical, this is an order!" Su Yu reprimanded with a straight face. "Battalion Commander Zhang, this is an order from Chief of General Staff Ouyang, you must carry it out unconditionally!" "Yes!" "Give you 10 days off to go back and prepare! 3 days later, I went to drink with the commissar! ”

Zhang Yusheng raised his hand to salute the military and turned to leave, walked a few steps and stopped. "Camp Commander Zhang, what else do you have to do?" "Commissar, I want to ask you something?" "Say it!" "I have a younger sister ?????。" "What happened to your sister is poignant, and you did the right thing. Intellectual women can't ask for it, I'll approve your sister's enlistment right now! Su Yu didn't seem to think about it. Thanks to the Commander! Looking at the back of Zhang Yusheng's departure, Luo Ronghuan said: "Brother Su, I found that you like this kid a lot!" "Commissar, don't you think he's like a man?" "Is it familiar, like who?"

"Xiao Yang, the guard of the Chief of General Staff of Ouyang!" "What you reminded is a bit like. Xiao Yang has been sacrificed for 10 years, and the years are like a trampling, and the past is unbearable. "It was Xiao Yang who saved Chief of General Staff Ouyang, if it weren't for Xiao Yang blocking the bomb with his life, I'm afraid everything today would be a different ending." "Yes! It's scary to think about. The two seemed to be silent in a peculiar atmosphere.

Three days later, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, and Peng Xuelan attended Zhang Yusheng's wedding. Political commissar Luo Ronghuan personally presided over the wedding ceremony, which shook the city of Tianjin and became a popular story.
