Chapter 14 Deep-seated Prejudices and Bad Habits
At this time, it was time for her to come out, Chu Yirou stood up, looked around, and then asked loudly: "Since it is an adult woman between the ages of eighteen and forty, can a widow join the army?" ”
The men here were also stunned when they saw Chu Yirou actually standing up and asking, and when they reacted, they wanted to scold and stop them, but it was too late!
Political Commissar Hao, who was originally worried, heard Chu Yirou's words, his eyes lit up, and he almost forgot that there was an important breakthrough around him.
"Anyone between the ages of eighteen and forty can participate!" Political Commissar Hao hurriedly replied, "Widows are also free people, and they also have the right to decide their own affairs, as long as they are innocent and have no criminal record, they can participate!" ”
When Chu Yirou heard Political Commissar Hao's answer, she smiled, held her head high, and said in a resolute tone: "Then I, Chu Yirou, am the first to stand up and sign up for the army!" ”
The people in the village looked at Chu Yirou with disdain: "What kind of army are you a widow joining!" Stay at home honestly, go out and try to seduce people? ”
Chu Yirou turned her head to look at the person who spoke, this is also an old gangster in the village, and it is not a good thing, and she once tried to peek at her taking a bath.
I even heard this old gangster say to Mrs. Cao that he wanted to ask Chu Yirou to be his wife.
It's just that this old gangster has no money, so he can't impress Mrs. Cao at all, and the matter will be over.
It's just that this old gangster, like Cao Shigui, has always peeked at her with that kind of obscene eyes, and later Chu Yirou never dared to go alone every time she went out.
Chu Yirou now has a reliance, even if she didn't come to the conscription office this time, she would be able to punish Cao Shigui and Cao Dewang alone, and she would be able to leave Caojia Village smoothly.
But now she thinks more, wants to help a few good sisters leave this wolf's den together, go to a new place, and start a new life, so she has to stand up and fight, and join the army and leave.
"I'm a widow, but you can't slander my innocence with empty teeth. Today, you have seen that attempted rape is illegal, so it is also illegal for you to slander my innocence without evidence, according to the laws of New China. If I go to sue you, and I have witnesses, you will be locked up!" ”
"Ouch, this little girl's skin is going to heaven! I said, what's wrong with you? If you have the ability, you're going to catch me! The old gangster laughed wildly, this little widow is restless, and she doesn't let people say it?
At this time, Ji Anguo came in from outside, and when he heard the words of the old gangster, he immediately took out the handcuffs from his body and roasted them directly on the old gangster's wrist: "Slander and slander are also crimes!" Since you want to be handcuffed so much, then of course I want to go with you! ”
Cao Zhishu also jumped when he saw Ji Anguo's actions.
Although he did not speak just now, he did not approve of the widow joining the army in his heart.
Who knows what these widows will be treated when they go?
It's just that looking at the attitude of these comrades, Cao Zhishu's scalp is numb, and it doesn't seem to be easy to send these people away at the request of Fengyang!
Political Commissar Hao stood up, looked around, and said: "We are the heroic army of the 289th Regiment, get rid of the local bandits and foreign evil forces, garrison the local army, open up wasteland and farm, and protect the family for the country, and we New China has always advocated equality between men and women, and now some delicate work in the frontier needs female soldiers, so we have come all the way to the hero's hometown to call on aspiring and ideal women comrades to join the army. ”
This is the hometown of heroes, and many men were recruited here to go to the battlefield back then, and they all supported it.
Comrade Li also stood up and looked at Cao Zhishu and the others: "Widows are also human beings, their husbands died on the battlefield, and they are all brave soldiers. As a family member of a soldier, we must also have a higher consciousness, widowhood is a feudal bad habit, and now women colleagues also hold up half the sky, and the good youth should not be wasted, and actively participate in the construction of the country. ”
Battalion Commander Wang also stood up: "As long as adult women have the will to join the army, no one is allowed to obstruct them for any reason!" will be arrested on charges of disrupting conscription! ”
The people below who were talking a lot suddenly stopped squeaking when they heard Camp Commander Wang's words.
Seeing Political Commissar Hao, Battalion Commander Wang finished speaking, Chu Yirou said: "My man has been sacrificed for five years, and he has been widowed since he was 17 years old, I am already worthy of the dead man, and I don't owe anyone anything." ”
At this time, there was another noisy sound of footsteps outside.
"What you say is good!" From the crowd came a shrill voice, "You don't owe anyone else, you owe me!" I'll pick you up from the river and raise you as an adult, and you just want to pat your ass and leave, it's not that easy! ”
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Mrs. Cao, Old Man Cao, and the two sons came over, followed by Mrs. Cao.
When Chu Yirou saw Mrs. Cao, she wanted to kill this old woman, but in front of everyone, she couldn't do it wantonly.
"I started sweeping the floor with a broom in my house before I was even a broom! I ate the worst, worked the most, and was forced to be widowed by you in the end, both to the dead man and to you, the man who picked me up from the river, I have repaid it. Chu Yirou said coldly, thinking of the time when she heard her good sister burning paper for her in private, she said something about Mrs. Cao's family, "When you picked me up and came back, there was a piece of jade pendant with good jade quality in my package, and that jade pendant was enough for my food expenses over the years." For the work I have done for your family for so many years, I will not tell you about the salary! ”
Hearing Chu Yirou mention the jade pendant, Mrs. Cao's eyes flickered a little.
"Jade pendant?" Cao Pozi hurriedly denied, "There is no jade pendant, I have never seen it!" ”
"Find the jade pendant with my name written on it, and you'll know if there is one!" Chu Yirou was very confident, she knew where the jade pendant was hidden by Mrs. Cao.
Even if Mrs. Cao changes places now, Chu Yirou is not afraid, because she has cute balls to help her find them.
"Mother, Dandan will look for something!"
"Mother, these people are all bad people who bully you, kill them!"
"Mother, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome, a big flood flooded Caojia Village, wouldn't it be better for us to leave when the time comes?"
……
Meng Dan didn't know when he woke up, and when he heard the sound outside, he felt the malice from the outside world, and he was suddenly unhappy.
Cute Dan Dan can not care about other things, but who is bullying his mother.
Kill!
Hurry up and die!
Hurry up, hurry up and get it to death!
Let them go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and be tortured and tormented in the eighteen layers of hell!
