Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (12)

In the hall outside, they were laughing and laughing, and the protagonists who caused the laughter were Jin Tongxuan and his wife Zhang Xiaohui. Out of courtesy, the two of them came to the county hall early, saying that they were greeting the princess, but in fact, they were trying to have a delicious breakfast. Last night, after Li Pinhe received the order to receive Princess Jiang, he regarded this matter as a political task and a foreign affairs task, and the people in the entire county government and county party headquarters were busy all night, just to serve Princess Jiang's three meals a day. The invincibles who got the news had such a good opportunity not to rub one or two times, it was unreasonable, so they paced over early in the morning. County Magistrate Jiang Chengliang and Director Li Pinhe slept very late, and rushed over early in the morning, just to accompany the invincible Wei Yongcheng to drink tea. The four of them drank a stomach full of widow tea, and they didn't see the food coming up from behind, and they knew that the princess hadn't eaten yet. Just when he was hungry and cold, Jin Tongxuan and his family came in.

"Ouch, it's really a bitter and short spring night, and the king will not be early from now on." Wei Yongcheng said with a smile, ready-made fun is not Wei Yongcheng's style.

"That's a must!" Li Pinhe also smiled and continued: "After a long drought and a rainy day, Xiao Beisheng is newlywed." ”

Zhang Xiaohui was still a little red, embarrassed, squinted at Jin Tongxuan, this person had been completely scabbed, and he didn't take it seriously, with a shy smile, he replied: "We are not a small farewell, we are not a small farewell, we have been separated for more than half a year, it is a big farewell." ”

"We are here in Dabie Mountain, Dabie, and it is normal." The county magistrate Jiang, who usually doesn't like to joke more, also chimed in.

"Little Bie is better than a newlywed! What is the big win? Mo Di also smiled and said: "I have never been married, I have no experience, my brother will talk about it." ”

Jin Tongxuan replied very simply: "Xiao Bei is better than a new marriage, and Da Bei is suspicious." Small differences are fine, but big differences are never allowed. ”

Li Pinhe and Jiang Chengliang nodded in unison, this is a wise saying that only those who have come over can recognize.

Zhang Xiaohui sat next to Jin Tongxuan, looking at the men chatting with a smile on her face, very harmonious and harmonious, she knew that her husband had fully integrated into this group, making fun of them, letting them laugh, but also having fun.

At this time, two women walked out of the inner hall, and as soon as they saw Zhang Xiaohui, Jiang Huaxiu followed, took Zhang Xiaohui's hand, and said, "You have a husband, don't care about me!" ”

Zhang Xiaohui hugged Jiang Huaxiu and said, "In their eyes, the two of us have different identities, you are the eldest princess, and I am just the wife of one of them." So for the two of us, they have to treat them differently. ”

Sure enough, the few men who were sitting around chatting before saw Jiang Huaxiu come out, and they all stood up in unison, rigorous and respectful, contrary to the previous casualness.

With three women, it is possible to start singing on stage, and the food on the table in the small room inside is also increased, which is enough for the table outside. After repeatedly refusing, after Jiang Huaxiu sat down, the others sat down in turn, which reflected the traditional virtues of gentleness, courtesy and frugality.

After sitting down, Wei Yongcheng asked a few painless questions very procedurally, and Jiang Huaxiu also answered politely, very official, a bit of diplomatic rhetoric. Zhang Xiaohui is a smart person, knowing that she can only break this situation by herself at this time, and said, "I'm a little jealous. ”

Everyone looked at her with a smile, what kind of dry vinegar did this person eat for no reason.

"Huaxiu and I are from afar, if we are guests from afar, then we are both of us, if you really want to talk about it, I am the host and guest, and Huaxiu is the accompanying guest." Zhang Xiaohui said with a smile: "As a result, as soon as I arrived in Yuexi, it was completely reversed, I became a family member, and Huaxiu became a distinguished guest, I don't eat anything jealous!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Jin Tongxuan put a small bottle of aged vinegar on the table in front of Zhang Xiaohui and said, "Eat more, this thing will be consumed." ”

Everyone laughed out loud again.

"That's it!" Jiang Huaxiu said: "Now is a new era, no longer the Manchu period, and there are no imperial relatives. Although I am the niece of the chairman, I am no different from anyone else. You just need to treat me as Xiaohui's classmate, I really can't afford such special care. ”

"The chairman is a leader we respect, and his family should naturally be loved by us." Li Pinhe is an old politician, and he is more shameless in speaking, saying: "Miss Jiang can come to Yuexi, which has surprised us inexplicably, a little food and shelter, what is it, as long as Miss Jiang is satisfied." As for the younger siblings of the Tongxuan family, when they arrive in Yuexi, they return to their own home, and in their own home, no one is polite to you. ”

The county magistrate Jiang also said: "Miss Jiang came to Yuexi, you can go everywhere to see, although this place is in the mountains, the scenery is good, the people are simple, what is needed, just command." ”

"What I say works?" Jiang Huaxiu smiled, she knew that these people would not eliminate the barrier between themselves and herself just because they said two words, and they could really integrate, and they also needed to take the initiative to take action.

"Of course!" Jiang Chengliang nodded very seriously.

"Okay, I'll just give you an opinion, whether it's appropriate, and ask the county magistrates and magistrates to consider it." Jiang Huaxiu said.

Everyone hadn't moved their chopsticks yet, waiting for Jiang Huaxiu to make the first move, but they didn't expect that this person had already eaten a lot of food inside, and they didn't know that the gang outside was already hungry. Mo Di glanced at Wei Yongcheng with a wry smile, and found that Wei Yongcheng's throat was also on and off, obviously lured by the food on the table, and he no longer took it seriously if he had any opinions on Princess Jiang. The county magistrate and Director Li listened very seriously.

"Just now, I chatted with Director Li's wife, and I learned that Yuexi County has not yet established a Women's National Salvation Federation, and I think that Director Li's wife can be the director of the Yuexi Women's Rescue Association and lead women from all walks of life in Yuexi County to actively contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance." Jiang Huaxiu said.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengliang and Li Pinhe's expressions immediately became very solemn, this is not a trivial matter, the establishment of the Women's Rescue Association, there is no precedent in western Anhui in the past, what kind of organization is this organization, will there be a spy element, will it fool a group of women, let the big men here catch fire in the backyard one by one.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Wei Yongcheng knew that these two were making trouble. In western Anhui, if you want to set up an organization, you have to ask Li Zongren first, and then ask Li Pinxian, it is impossible for a certain county to set a precedent. As for the nature of the Women's Relief Association, Wei Yongcheng knows that it is an extremely righteous organization, and it also plays a very positive role in the fight against Japan, and with Mr. Song, the mother of the country, and Mrs. He Xiangning, Mrs. Liao, at the helm, this organization will definitely be on the front line of the all-people war of resistance. Jiang Huaxiu was still young and did not know the sensitivity of politics, and only put forward opinions on his own impulse, but he did not know how troublesome it was to actually implement them. At this time, you can only come and make mud by yourself. So Wei Yongcheng said with a bitter face: "Miss Jiang, do you see if we are talking while eating, to be honest, I am so hungry that I am about to stretch out my hand in my throat." ”

Wei Yongcheng's words changed the atmosphere of the audience, and the previous solemn atmosphere was beaten by Wei Yongcheng's joke, and it was washed clean. Jiang Huaxiu also knew that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, everyone, please use it slowly." I ate a little bit in it, but I didn't expect that you guys haven't eaten yet, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Zhang Xiaohui stretched out her chopsticks, put a glutinous rice ball in Jiang Huaxiu's bowl, and said, "I finally know what a full man is, I don't know how hungry a man is hungry!" ”

Wei Yongcheng was not polite, picked up a glutinous rice ball and put it in his small bowl, sniffed it deeply first, and praised it, "It's so fragrant!" Then he took a bite and took half of it. Jiang Huaxiu looked at this funny man and knew that he was doing this completely to help himself and ease the atmosphere that had stiffened himself. When he came over, the eldest brother talked about him as a classmate more than once, but he didn't expect that this classmate Wei was not only handsome, but also very talented.

Mo Di, Li Pinhe, Jiang Chengliang and Jin Tongxuan were all hungry, and once they started, they had the tendency to be swept away, and they slowed down the pace by removing one-third of the food on the table in one go. At this time, Zhang Xiaohui ate the first small bowl of five-grain soybean cake. She was surprised, surprised that Jin Tongxuan of his family would become so rude, the Sven of the year was gone, the army was really a place to change people, if Jin Tongxuan's mother saw him eating so wildly, she would definitely be very happy.

Jiang Huaxiu also picked up a glutinous rice ball, put it on Zhang Xiaohui's plate, and whispered, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaohui shook her head and said, "You're not wrong, it's just that they didn't prepare for it." Yuexi is located in a mountainous area, and the news is also very closed, so it is normal to not be able to react to new things for a while. In the early days of its establishment, the Women's Relief Association played a positive role in promoting national reunification and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but now it is mainly about educating women and improving their basic quality, so as to improve the quality of the people in an all-round way. I have heard a speech by Ms. Shi Liang, member of the Women's Steering Committee and Director of the Liaison Committee of the Association for the Promotion of the New Life Movement, who strives to enshrine equality between men and women and protect women's rights in the Constitution. In the area of constitutional governance, she insisted on equality between men and women, and proposed that not only should the fact of equality between men and women be clearly stipulated in the general outline of the Constitution, but that the number of women deputies should not be less than 15 per cent in the chapter of the National Assembly, which had never been mentioned before. She suggested that women workers should go to the grassroots level, among the women in the cities and villages, to carry out propaganda and education on political participation, and to make contributions to the anti-Japanese struggle. The Gui system is stubborn, they have an instinctive confrontation with many things, and even sometimes refuse without analysis, some things, in the Gui management area, is not a word of effort. If we can tear out a gap in this monolithic situation, it will be a contribution to the fight against Japan. However, everything must be done gradually. ”

Jiang Huaxiu nodded and glanced at Zhang Xiaohui, this one is far more mature than herself politically.
