Chapter VIII Family Affairs: Yang Jicai's Marriage
In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. If they do not meet a certain deterrent standard, will they have a useful effect? If you lock someone up for ten and a half months, it will be of no use if it is not painful or itchy? Whether the family is stable or not is related to the stability of the military's morale.
It's a major event. Let's forget it in peacetime. In wartime, it's more hateful than anything else. It's not an exaggeration to say that it disrupts the morale of the military.
Therefore, in the draft submitted by the Political Department, Yang Zhen changed the original maximum three years of education to a maximum of fifteen years with a stroke of a pen. Let those people know that this is not only a matter of morality and humanity, but also a serious matter.
Things that violate laws and regulations. Simply pointing them out will not really touch your heart.
Only by ruthlessly killing a few chickens who have this idea can we really suppress those cats who want to steal sex. If the situation had not stabilized now, it would not be easy to go on a killing spree. For people like this who don't even have the most basic humanity, shoot a few people.
Only then can we completely cut off some people’s bad thoughts.
Yang Zhen has taken a variety of measures to ensure the stability of military families now and in the near future as much as possible. But as a commander with corresponding rights in his hands, he also knows that this is the only thing he can do.
.After all, whether a family is truly stable or not depends on how two people do it.
Laws and regulations are certainly an aspect of protection, but in the final analysis it still depends on how two people manage their own business. If you don't cherish it, there is nothing you can do if the King of Heaven comes. These laws and regulations can at best serve as a warning and a deterrent.
Effect. If he is really determined not to live with you, can he still drag the person out and shoot him?
However, for those cadres who were married in their hometowns, but their families were devastated and destroyed by the Japanese army, and their whereabouts were no longer known. Or for those cadres whose families were in the pass and whose families were still unknown, Yang Zhen decided to
Notify the Political Department that as long as such cadres file marriage reports, approval will be the priority as much as possible.
Especially in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, many cadres were born as laborers or prisoners of war, and many of their families were in enemy-occupied areas within the customs. These cadres themselves did not know whether their families still existed. And under the current situation, the troops did not know either.
We may send people to investigate one by one. We can only find and transfer as many families of cadres as regimental and above to the North China base area as possible.
However, many family members of cadres, after several searches by the underground party, were unable to do anything. Under this situation, Yang Zhen finally issued such a notice to the Political Department. After all, discipline cannot require these cadres, so they are really just that stupid to wait.
As for the future, let’s talk about it later.
However, amidst this wave of marriages, one person's marriage report gave the Political Department a headache. This person was none other than Yang Zhen's biological brother Yang Jicai. Gao Yu, who knew the relationship between Yang Zhen and Yang Jicai, was very worried.
To the public's surprise, Yang Jicai was one of the many cadres who made a wedding report this time.
Looking at the marriage report typed by Yang Jicai, Gao Yumin hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it over to Yang Zhen to handle it personally. It's not that Yang Jicai's conditions are not enough. He is now the deputy regiment member. With three years of party experience, he has some insufficient military experience.
Besides, the rest of the standards were enough. But when it came to No. 1, Gao Yumin felt it was a bit difficult to handle.
Seeing the report forwarded by Gao Yumin, Yang Zhen couldn't help but be startled. What kind of tricks could his younger brother, who had just returned from northern Shaanxi, do? He dishonestly led his students in the military region's senior staff training class, and why did he get involved?
?And when did he fall in love? Why didn’t he know about it at all?
Although during the Battle of Northern Shanxi, Yang Zhen personally transferred Yang Jicai to the boss as a staff officer. But with the boss's personality, who would keep this talented young man by his side when the front line is in urgent need of talents?
After taking him back to Yan'an and attending classes at the Anti-Japanese University for a month, he was asked to return to the Northeast together with the cadres transferred from Yan'an to the Northeast.
After Yang Jicai returned to the Northeast, he was transferred by Guo Bingxun to the Military Region's Senior Staff Training Course, which specially trained combat staff for the Guan Nei troops, and served as a teacher and class teacher. It can be said that he was working under Yang Zhen's nose. But Yang Zhen never expected that
, my younger brother actually dropped such a bombshell for me right under my nose. And it was only after the marriage report was reported to the Political Department that I, the eldest brother, knew about it.
When he saw the person's name and resume filled in the marriage partner column on this brother's marriage report, Yang Zhen frowned even more tightly. Yang Zhen put his hand on the phone handle and wanted to find Yang Jicai and ask him.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally put his hand down.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen felt that it would be inappropriate for him to talk to Yang Jicai about this matter now. He should let his wife communicate with him first. These younger brothers and sisters of his are sometimes too afraid of him. On the contrary,
He and his sister-in-law Yuan Zhiruo are relatively easy to talk to. It is more appropriate for his wife to talk to him about this matter first than to go to him directly.
But when I opened the door, Yang Zhen, who used to stay up until midnight, suddenly came home on time today, with wrinkles on his forehead. He was no longer working as a secretary for Yang Zhen and had been transferred to the Translation Section of the Headquarters Secretariat.
Yuan Zhiruo, who served as deputy section chief and was busy organizing personnel to translate Western military works, was startled.
After the two got married, Yuan Zhiruo, who was not suitable to continue to be Yang Zhen's secretary, was transferred to the Translation Department to engage in the foreign language work she was best at. Yang Zhen, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, either went to Yan'an for meetings or worked with several members of the Standing Committee of the Military Region.
It can be a one-night meeting, or a unit inspection.
After Yuan Zhiruo adjusted her work, she was busy training translators and translating various Western military doctrines all day, and her feet were hitting the back of her head with work. After the two got married, the time they spent seeing each other was actually much less than before they got married. Today
Yuan Zhiruo, who had taken a break from her busy schedule to go home early, saw her husband who had finally come home early, with a deep frown on his face, but he was a little confused.
It shouldn't be a small thing to make my husband, who has always been light-hearted, have an expression that can be said to be unhappy and a little worried. But it seems that there is no major event in the military region at the moment. Isn't the front line also quiet? There has been no news in the army recently.
What big move happened? It shouldn’t be something related to the army, could it be something happening to someone at home?
Just when Yuan Zhiruo was full of suspicions about what was going on and Yang Zhen frowned so tightly, Yang Zhen called his wife to him and asked: "Has anything happened at home recently? It's not about you and my little family, it's
Talking about your parents and several younger siblings, has anything happened?"
Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Yuan Zhiruo thought about it carefully but shook her head and said: "I visited my parents the day before yesterday, and both of them are in good health. Although my younger sister can't see each other often, we have always exchanged letters. At least from the letter
From the looks of it, my younger sister’s mentality has now adjusted. As for my third brother, I haven’t seen him for a while because he has been on the front line or in northern Shaanxi.”
"By the way, my couple wrote from the Soviet Union and talked about their study and life in the Soviet Union. They said that although life in the Soviet Union is very difficult now, all supplies are in short supply. In their schools, the food supply is generally insufficient.
, there is not enough coal for heating in winter. But they still want to not go back to China to continue their associate's degree studies after completing their undergraduate studies, and they want to get your opinion."
"They also sent us a wedding gift, a piece of Soviet Bragi fabric and a German pocket watch. My younger brother used his spare time to work as a loader at the station. My younger siblings also used their spare time to knit for others.
Sweaters, cotton-padded clothes, a little money saved, watches exchanged from Soviet soldiers who came back from the front to recuperate, and supply tickets bought.”
Listening to his wife's story, Yang Zhen nodded slightly: "Brother and his wife, they did this deliberately. Send them a letter and tell them that since they have saved some money, they should stop buying things for the family.
I don’t object to them going out to find part-time jobs. It’s not about how much money they make, it’s because everyone needs more exercise.”
"The more difficult the environment, the more it can train people. It is not an empty saying that steel can be made by hard work. The Soviet Union is currently in a harsh war environment. The conditions are indeed more difficult, but they are still better than the two of us.
Wasn't it much better when we were fighting guerrillas in the ravines?"
"At that time, we were not as old as they are now. They are not on the front line of the Soviet Union now. How difficult can it be to fight guerrillas as hard as we did at that time? Difficulties may not be a bad thing for a person's growth. The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is.
The harder the environment, the more it can hone one's will."
"But let them pay attention to their own lives and take care of their bodies. Find a part-time job to save some money, and then improve their own food and don't think about home. They are not allowed to ruin their bodies just to make money. The body is
The capital of the revolution, their focus now should be on their studies. Let the younger brother take good care of his younger siblings, don't just let others take care of him."
"As for continuing their studies, when you reply to the letter, tell them two that as long as they pass the exam based on their true abilities, they can study for as long as they want. As an elder brother, I will definitely support them. Knowledge is something that is not afraid of learning.
If there are too many, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to learn or won’t study hard.”
"But don't be too striving for success. You must learn solidly. Science is a serious subject, and you must not make any rash progress. Working steadily and steadily is the only shortcut to laying a solid foundation. Degrees are not important. The key is to put real skills into practice.
Learn from experience. Building a modern national defense does not rely on words."
"In addition, tell them that they are absolutely not allowed to tell me about my relationship with them. They are the same as those international students in the Soviet Union, they are ordinary students. It is not a bad thing to want to go further in their studies, but they have to fight for it themselves. If
I heard that they were using my name to ask the Soviet Union for special care, not to mention that I would get them back right away."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Yuan Zhiruo shook her head and said: "You, no wonder my little sister cries when she sees you. As a big brother like you, you always speak so hard. I know you are strict with yourself.
My younger brothers and sisters, those who don’t know better think they are soldiers led by you.”
"The young couple was in the Soviet Union, but they never mentioned a word about you, Yang Zhen. In order to conceal his true identity, the younger brother even changed his surname to his mother's. As a wedding gift to us, the younger brother used his spare time to work as a loader at the station.
Earned from working on anti-sack bagging equipment.”
"There is also a younger brother who wants to continue studying for an associate's degree. Their tutor recommended him to their school's superiors because of his excellent academic performance, but he did not borrow your favor. I am telling you to ask for your opinion, not to ask for your support.
Relationships, looking for ways to go through the back door."
Looking at Yuan Zhiruo, who acted like a sister-in-law and a mother, Yang Zhen smiled and said nothing more. However, he turned the topic back to Yang Jicai and said: "When you went back to visit your parents, you didn't hear them mention your third brother.
Certain things, just emotional things. Especially between him and the female doctor next to his parents, didn't his parents notice anything unusual? "
