Chapter 254 Everyone Wants He Yuzhu to Join the Army

Hearing Yan Bugui's question, the neighbors of the courtyard subconsciously turned their heads to look at the main house in the middle courtyard.
Then I saw three heads sticking out of the He family's door.

Then he smiled and said,

"Zhu Zi, look at what you three siblings look like, is it that cold out there?

Come out and tell us quickly, and see if what Old Yan said is right or not."

Hearing their questions, He Yuzhu opened the door curtain and walked out of the house, then smiled and shook his head.

"What Uncle Yan said must be wrong!

The State Council has never required anyone to join the army as Uncle Yan said. This thing is based on voluntary participation.
Moreover, for someone like Jia Dongxu, who only has one child in his family, he would not be selected even if he registered.

We have so many people and no shortage of soldiers.
If we force everyone to join the army, wouldn't we have to mobilize tens or even hundreds of millions of troops all at once? Can Daxia afford it?"

After telling the neighbors, He He Yu Zhu looked at Yan Bugui and said,
"Uncle Yan, if you want moral blackmail, then do it.
Can you please not drag the Executive Yuan into this?
I don't care about anything, but please don't do anything under the banner of the State Council and don't ruin its reputation."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard had a different reaction.

When Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhu say that he had ruined the reputation of government officials, he was immediately frightened half to death and quickly stammered to distance himself from the matter.
"Pillar, pillar, pillar,
Please don't talk nonsense. I never meant to bring disgrace upon the reputation of the Executive Yuan.
I am not thinking that the State Council has been good to us ordinary people over the years. Now that there is a need, we should repay the State Council for its care for us ordinary people.

That’s it, nothing else.”

When Jia Zhang heard He Yuzhu say that Jia Dongxu would not be selected even if he applied, her gratitude to Yi Zhonghai immediately disappeared.

Some even blamed him for meddling in other people's business, which affected Jia Dongxu's image in the eyes of the factory leaders.

After she heard Yan Bugui's sophistry, she immediately retorted.

"Who did you say didn't report back to the State Council?
Our Dongxu works diligently in the steel rolling mill, producing weapons and ammunition for the front line. This is our way of repaying the State Council for its care for us ordinary people.

If you want to report to the State Council, why don't you go yourself or ask your Yan Jiecheng to report?
You have to involve our Dongxu,
I think you have bad intentions."

At this time, the neighbors in the courtyard no longer cared about the quarrel between Jia Zhang and Yan Bugui. Instead, they looked at He Yuzhu and asked,
"Zhu Zi, weren't you the only one in your family at this time last year? Why did the leader ask you to join the army when you grow up?

This is totally different from what you are saying now!"

"Yes, yes, Zhuzi, we all heard from the comrades in the branch that the leader asked you to join the army when you come of age, but you were not the only child in your family at that time."

……

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, He Yuzhu smiled and spread his hands.

"Look at what you are saying. The leader is very busy and this is the first time he has met me. He may know what is going on in my family.
When they said I should join the army, it was just a casual remark. They didn't force me to go.
Whether or not to serve in the army depends on whether I am willing to do so."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai stood up to object. He obviously had different ideas.

"I'm not saying that to Zhuzi. Think about the status of a big leader. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a great leader.

If he asks you to join the army, you must go.
You can't just shirk it if you want to." "That's right, Zhuzi, you have to listen to the boss. If you don't go, you might not stay in the branch for long."

……

Seeing everyone say this, He Yuzhu could only say,
"Who refused? With my ability, why would I refuse?
But I am not yet of age. Jia Dongxu is 19 years old this year and can go to the factory to register. I think he is not even 16 yet. Even if I go to register, no one will accept me. "

When the neighbors heard He Yuzhu say that he was going to join the army, they stopped talking.
They looked up at the sky again and found that it was getting late, so they all went home one after another.

The first to return home was Jia Zhang, who angrily threw the rolling pin onto the table and began to scold Yan Bugui.

Then he started complaining about Yi Zhonghai,

"This old Yi is really something. Since you can't be selected even if you sign up, then he shouldn't stop you.
This is just great,

Not only will you fail to leave a good impression on the factory leaders, but your fellow workers may even laugh at you, and you will have no role in future cadre selections.
What do you mean by this? "

Hearing Jia Zhang complaining about Yi Zhonghai as soon as she got home, Jia Dongxu subconsciously glanced at the door opposite.
After seeing Yi Zhonghai and his wife also lift the door curtain and walk into their home,
This time I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled and said to Jia Zhang,

"Mom, please don't say that. The master is doing this for my own good.
Besides, he didn’t know there was such a rule. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t stop me.”

"Humph!

It's all Zhuzi's fault. He knew everything but he just hid it from us.

If he told you, your master wouldn't stop you. You would then leave a good impression on your leader and maybe even become a cadre in the future.

In other words, he will soon join the army and may die on the battlefield.
I'm too lazy to argue with him, otherwise I'll scold him."

Hearing Jia Zhang say that she would not bother with He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu thought to himself, Mom, you are just being stubborn. Do you dare to scold Zhuzi to his face at this time?

However, there was He Yuzhu in the courtyard who always outdid him in everything.

This really made Jia Dongxu feel unhappy.

"Okay, mom. There's only half a year left before Zhuzi goes to the army. He might die right after he goes to the battlefield. We really don't need to bother with him so much."

The other neighbors in the courtyard more or less had similar ideas to those of Jia Zhang and her son.
They all hoped that He Yuzhu would join the army as soon as possible, and preferably never come back. Otherwise, with a government official living in the courtyard, they all felt that they would never be able to hold their heads up high.

Only He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu seriously after returning home.
"Zhu Zi, you really have to join the army and fight in the war next year.

Can I not go?
If you really die on the battlefield, what will you do as your father? "

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Widow Bai quickly said "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" a few times, and then she spoke again,
"Old He, please don't talk nonsense.
Our Zhuzi is a very capable man, not only is he blessed by heaven, but he is also very capable. How could he die so easily on the battlefield? What are you talking about?"

Why did you change so much when you became the White Widow?
In fact, in the more than one year since He Yuzhu started working at the branch, she has truly enjoyed a lot of hidden benefits.
