Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

The people of Wulongtang are preparing for the farmers' association, but Ziwu Town has first established the Women's Salvation Association.Li Peizhong, a committee member from the county, gathered all the women in the village at the intersection, and told them about the mission of the Women's Rescue Society, saying that the current job is to rush to make military shoes and socks.After she finished speaking, she brought Chun'er to her and asked her to say a few words, but Chun'er blushed and refused to say anything.Gao Bao's newly married daughter-in-law, Su'er, was standing crowded at the head of the crowd. Seeing Chun'er shy, she walked up and said, "She is a thin-skinned eldest daughter, let me say a few words!"

She imitated Li Peizhong's words and said a few words, and the women below all clapped their hands and said: "It's still this one! She has a thick skin and can speak well. This is the kind of person who handles things these days, give her a name!" Then Su'er was elected as the director of the Women's Rescue Society in Ziwu Town, and Chun'er was a committee member. Su'er started the work very quickly. After the meeting, she asked Chun'er to assign each household to make shoes in the afternoon, and called the accountant from the village to follow them with an abacus in mind.

Su'er was ahead of her time, she said: "Which pie to start with?" Mr Accountant said: "According to the old practice, the distribution of food and funds always starts with the small household in Xitou, which is Chun'er's family." Chuner said: "Last year's imperial calendar can't be used this year. From the bottom of your feet, you have to change your appearance!" "That's what I said," Mr. Account Manager said with a smile. "In the past, the old-fashioned faction was only affected by the disadvantages of our small families. Now that the world has changed, which school do you think we should start with?"

"I'll start with Da Xiazi Tian's family first," Chun'er said. "His family is the head of the village. According to the reasonable burden, he should also be the leader. Do you dare to go or not?" "Why don't you dare?" Su'er said, "Is he a tiger, or does he have a Shenren cat at home? Let's go!" Saying that, he rushed forward. Su'er led the way, Chun'er was in the middle, Mr. Account Manager lingered behind, turned a corner, and when he was approaching the front door of Tian Daxiazi's house, he stopped at the corner.Su'er turned around and said, "Let's go, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Accountant seemed to have a hot egg in his mouth, and said slowly: "You go in first, I am smoking a pot of cigarettes. You see, the fire sickle and stone are not easy to use! The light is blazing, and it won't fall on the fleece! " Su'er puffed his mouth and went in.After crossing the tall threshold, Chun'er felt a little timid.In the past, she seldom came to this man's house, but sometimes she went to his yard, picked things and borrowed things, and used them as a grinder. She didn't have any face and dared not open her mouth easily.During the holidays, as a daughter of a poor family, she just looks at the red lights raised in front of the big family's house from a distance, and the shadows of people who come out and wear silk hanging satin.She followed closely behind Su'er and asked, "Is his dog on a leash?"

"Whether he's tied or not, it's biting me, tell him to keep me for the winter!" Su'er said as he walked up the second door, and when he saw the big black dog lying under the screen wall in the inner courtyard, he pulled his hands away, Guang Dang closed the two doors upside down, and grabbed the two bronze door knockers with all his strength!Chun'er took a step back in fear. "Open the door!" Su'er shouted in a trembling voice. The big black dog in the courtyard jumped and barked, the iron chains resounded, and a big goose rattled and barked in the courtyard of the deep house.It took a long time before I heard Tian Daxia's wife come out slowly, standing in the aisle and saying in a strange way: "Who is it? This is it."

"We!" Said the vulgar. "What's the matter?" "Take care of your dog first!" Su'er yelled, "We'll talk after we get in." "Come in, it doesn't bite!" Su'er let go of his hand and pushed the door open, and Tian Daxia's wife stood there to welcome the door.She is short and fat, her body is fleshy like a white dough, and her two small hands are turned outward, like fat duck feet.She looked at Chun'er without moving, and said, "What's the matter with you?" As the saying goes: "Go to your house and tell us to stand here in such cold weather?"

"We are not very comfortable being the head of the house. We just covered ourselves with the quilt and sweated. If there is anything, you can talk about it here!" Chuner said: "There is nothing else, just send you to make a few pairs of shoes!" "Who do you make shoes for? It's so noble? Do you distribute the labor?" Tian Daxiazi's wife said, "There is no one in our family to do the work!" "For the anti-Japanese fighters, if there is no one to do the work, you can hire someone to do it!" Su'er said. "What is an anti-Japanese warrior?" Tian Daxia's wife said with a smile. Xie, tell you big girls and little daughter-in-laws to come out and find someone!"

"Don't say such nonsense, we are on business!" Su'er quarreled with her. "Our family, don't argue with you people!" Tian Daxiazi's wife took a step back and said, "How many pairs should we make?" "According to the reasonable burden," Chun'er said, and turned to ask Mr. Account Manager, "How much land does his family have?" Mr. Accountant was smoking in the hole of Shaomen with his face turned away. When he was asked, he ran up, first smiled at Tian Daxia's wife and said, "The old man is in charge! Is Mr. Da's illness better? Ah! He The family has three hectares and twenty mu of land," he flipped the abacus in his arms, "a total of seven pairs should be paid! Alas, the amount should be larger if it is divided like this!"

"Seven pairs!" Blind Tian's wife's eyes popped out, "Why are you at ease, does our family run a shoe and hat shop? Ask around, how many lifetimes have passed, our family, what? Time to become a big head?" "Who asked your family to plant so much land? I would like to make a few more pairs, do you have any?" Chun'er said, "This is anti-Japanese, and no one can talk about it!" "Anti-Japanese?" Tian Daxiazi's wife quickly grasped the meaning of this term, "So, there are still anti-Japanese in our family, and my daughter-in-law is still a member of the county committee! If you don't call her, you will be there. ? I won’t ask you for the shoes she wears, but you will send me a lot of them!”

"Don't talk about that!" Su'er said, "I won't do it if there is an anti-Japanese war? My man is still the head of the regiment, so I won't do it?" "Don't mention you!" Tian Daxia's wife clapped her hands and said, "I'm stunned!" "You fart!" Su'er jumped on one foot and cursed away. "You fart! Thousands of people ride tens of thousands of people, seduce my son, and it cost my family an unknown amount of embarrassment to sell OE care? out of my yard! "Blind Tian's wife also walked around and cursed. "I'll kill you old bastard!" Su'er took a step back, lowered his head, and then arched over.Blind Tian's wife quickly put her two little feet on the fork, and she couldn't stand still, so she fell back, flipped over the high threshold, and rolled into the doorway.Chang'er rushed inside and pushed her head on the fat woman's stomach, like a bale of cotton. Blind Tian could no longer pretend to be sick, and ran out of the main room wearing a robe, yelling loudly: "It's wrong! Come to the door and beat someone, good! Go to the county and sue them, my Tian family still has a daughter-in-law!" The big black dog was thrown away casually, Su'er jumped up, and ran out with messy hair, Chun'er followed, the big black dog chased her all the way to the street, and almost missed her pants. "Let's go!" Su'er shouted in the street, raising both hands, "Blind Tian, ​​let's go to the county hand in hand! I won't sue you for anything else, I will sue you for damages!" The people watching the excitement, standing all over the street, said: "It's interesting to see who sues who. One end is the tip of a needle, and the other end is wheat awn!"
