A woman walked outside the door, smiling.

"Political Commissar Hao, Xiaorou, Qiu Ju, come to my house for dinner." Aunt Wang greeted Chu Yirou, guessing that Wang Qiuju would definitely join the army under Chu Yirou's persuasion, thinking that her weak daughter Dafeng would join the army in the future, and she also needed friends and sisters to help her, so she wanted to be more kind to Chu Yirou and Wang Qiuju when she was at home.

Wang Qiuju shook her head and said, "Let Political Commissar Hao eat, Xiaorou and I are eating here." ”

"You're welcome, I've done a lot today, hurry up, come together." Aunt Wang was very enthusiastic, and quickly put away the brown rice in Wang Qiuju's hand, and then pulled the three of them home.

Cao Zhishu had already finished eating, and took the young men from the village to Liujia Village, ten miles away, to pick up the widows and children.

If that side doesn't agree, grab it back.

Aunt Wang beckoned everyone to eat, and there was no good food or food in the countryside, and it was very good to be able to drink rice porridge with pickle gnocchi.

After eating porridge, everyone's body was warm.

Political Commissar Hao took out a conscription notice and pasted it on the wall at the door of the village branch.

Comrade Li and Battalion Commander Wang stood on the side.

Chu Yirou didn't know where to find a broken gong, "Bang Bang", the sound of the broken gong, although it was not good, but it was very loud.

So the people of the entire Caojia Village heard it, and there were people who came out to see the excitement last night, and they knew what was going on, so they were idle and ran over to continue watching the excitement.

There are people who don't know the situation, and when they hear the sound of a broken gong, they also come over to see what happened.

Seeing that at the door of the village branch, there are more and more people.

Some of the people who knew about the expropriation of female soldiers began to tell the villagers who did not know what happened last night.

"Folks, we are the 258th Frontier Legion, after the instructions from above, we specially came to Wanhao County to collect female soldiers, adult women between the ages of eighteen and forty, as long as they volunteer to participate and are in good health, they can participate!"

Women?

This is not unusual, isn't it a man's business to be a soldier and fight?

There were those women who were standing outside, and when they heard this, they were stunned and squeezed in. Although illiterate, I also wanted to listen to Political Commissar Hao's propaganda on conscription policies and benefits up close.

"Commissar Hao, you won't lie to us, will you? In the past, when they came to our village to recruit soldiers, they always recruited male soldiers, and never female soldiers. "A woman in her forties, usually a bold person, and likes to gossip, and when she encounters something, she always wants to get to the root of the problem.

Political Commissar Hao stood on the platform, saluted the woman first, and said, "It's not that female soldiers are not recruited, but there are few opportunities. There are jobs in the army that require female soldiers. You see I'm a female soldier, and I have a company of female soldiers under my command. ”

"Oh, it's good to be a soldier, it's just too far." The women in the crowd muttered, "Those who have left their homes have a hard time." ”

"Yes, people are cheap!"

"Yes, the woman's family, stay at home honestly······"

Chu Yirou saw that the people below were talking a lot, and saw that there were a few widows in the crowd, but they did not come forward.

So Chu Yirou smashed the broken gong hard: "Those women who have families, relatives, and children, they are reluctant to leave their hometowns, I can understand it, but we widows, no men, no children, have a bad life, and are looked down upon and molested, why don't we join the army?" Why don't you want to become a glorious soldier of the people and start a new life in a new place? ”

Chu Yirou said it well, which has gone beyond people's concepts now.

"Xiaorou, you shameless, how can a widow join the army? Is it to find a man? yes, there are a lot of men over there, ······." Mrs. Li heard Chu Yirou's words in the back, and she was immediately unhappy, yesterday Widow Cao finally relented, and she was ready to reply to the fool's family in Wuli Village today, this time and again, she could earn hundreds of yuan.

That's a big deal!

You can't let Chu Yirou, a little cheap hoof, join the army and let her work in vain.

In the old society, this matchmaker Li not only worked as a matchmaker, but also took on some human trafficking work in private, and did a lot of pickled things.

Chu Yirou held her head high, looked condescendingly at Mrs. Li, who had a bad stomach, and ridiculed each other: "Widows are also human beings, as long as they are of the right age and in good health, they can join the army." When we die and widow men, we are free people, and we can decide our lives. ”

"Oh, that's a nice thing to say, I think you just want a man, and you can't hold it." Mrs. Li is very vicious, for the sake of money, she can say anything and do anything.

Full of black hearts!

Chu Yirou was not afraid of Mrs. Li, looked at Mrs. Li with a sneer, and said, "Since ancient times, it has not been said that widows cannot remarry. We have been widowing our dead men for five years, we have no children, no houses, no land, and now we are young and able to work, and we are bullied and looked down upon at home. When we get old, there will be no one to provide for us at all, and no one will care about us at all. When we joined the army, we also wanted to change our way of life and have one more way to live. I, Chu Yirou, volunteered to join the army, Commissar Hao, I sign up! ”

Wang Qiuju on the side was hot in her heart when she heard this, and she was excited in her heart, and she also stood up strongly and said, "Political Commissar Hao, I'm ······ I, Wang Qiuju, also volunteered to sign up for the army! ”

Battalion Commander Wang sat on the edge of the table, and then took out a form, and since the women may not be literate, Comrade Li helped fill in the information of Chu Yirou and Wang Qiuju, and finally asked them to sign it.

When Chu Yirou used to be underwater, she was idle and had nothing to do, so she practiced calligraphy underwater, so her handsome and handsome characters were hidden in her edge. Wang Qiuju can write her own name, and this is before the liberation, there was a literacy night school, and they studied with it for a while.

Although it is not good-looking, it shows that Wang Qiuju is not completely illiterate.

Ji Anguo stood beside Camp Commander Wang, saw Chu Yirou's words, and looked at Chu Yirou's face, the words are like his person, they are all so good-looking!

Political Commissar Hao was even happier when he saw Chu Yirou being so good at acting.

"There are now two women who have volunteered to join the army, and I have registered them so that no one can stop them from joining the army." Although Political Commissar Hao was smiling, his tone was extremely resolute.

"They all have mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law, so don't you ask their families for their opinions?" Mrs. Li's momentum is a little smaller than just now, the people don't fight with the officials, they fight hard, and it is she, a flat-headed common man, who suffers.

Political Commissar Hao said loudly: "We have learned about their family situation, her parents-in-law do not have only one son, nor is she the only daughter-in-law, even if they need to support their elders, it is not their turn, so as long as they voluntarily join the army, they meet our recruitment standards." ”
