Chapter 18
Women who were called by someone's wife and mother before can finally show their full name.
Dongyang stood behind the person and even heard an old lady in her fifties say that no one had read her name for many years. She couldn't say what it felt like when she was suddenly pronounced. She felt her nose sour and wanted to cry.
The aunt's nose was sore and she held back her tears, but some people couldn't help it.
Zhao Hongmei is just one.
As soon as she cried, many people who had been holding on to it also erupted.
After being moved, Fuyu Road will be officially opened to traffic.
Cui Dahai's tractor was the first car officially passed on Fuyu Road. Several boys in their teens, who were agile and thoughtful, jumped into the car and found that there were several small bags inside. When they opened it, they found that it was full of candy.
The most common candy in this era is the hard fruit candy. No one eats it in modern times. It is a good thing at this time. Even during the Chinese New Year, children can only eat limited amounts of fruit candy.
Cui Dahai started the car and shouted to the children who were drooling in front of the fruit candy, "What are you doing when you stand there? Sprinkle candy."
As the car walked along the way, fruit candy was sprinkled in places where people cheered. Everyone was happy to pick up candy, and the smile on their faces became even bigger.
Dongyang joined in the fun and picked up two pieces, preparing to take them back for An An to eat.
It was really lively today. She was afraid that there would be danger of pushing and trampling for too many people, so she didn't let An An come. At this moment, the little girl was playing tumbler alone at home.
After the celebration, the leaders of the village and the people who watched the fun in other villages left one after another, but there were still many people in the village walking on the road and reluctant to go home.
The road was built by them. It was opened to traffic on the first day today, so they had to walk a few more trips.
Dongyang didn't leave too much, she returned home with two pieces of candy in her arms.
After finishing the road, she still has a lot of work to do.
The seeds planted have grown seedlings, and similarly, weeds have also grown. If the seedlings are not weeded, they will be crushed. If they do not grow tall or strong, they will definitely not be able to harvest much grain in autumn.
Taking advantage of the good weather, the winter sun was about to go to the ground to weed, so Zhang Kuang followed him silly.
The two of them are much more relaxed in their work, and Dongyang still has the energy to look at An An, both of them are very good.
Not only were they busy, but the villagers were excited to build roads, but they were also busy at home. For a moment, there were not many people left in the village except teachers and students, and those who could work went to the fields to work.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had been in and out for a long time. When acquaintances in the village saw them, they had no strange looks. They were natural to say hello and chat. The woman's attitude towards Dongyang became much better.
This change was not sudden, it was exactly the effect Dongyang and Zhang Kuang wanted.
However, just as everything was moving in a good direction, something big happened in the village.
That day, Dongyang and the others were weeding the ground by the river. The two were talking about the feasibility of changing the land near the river in the village to convert the land to paddy fields. A child came to Zhang Kuang panting and asked him to find a way to save Xiao Baizi's wife.
The one who asked for help was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Dongyang knew that he was the son of Xiao Baizi's brother Da Baizi.
Zhang Kuang hugged An An, and Dongyang followed closely behind. While walking towards the village, he asked the boy of the Bai family what was going on.
It turned out that the person from the XX office in the village came and wanted to force Mrs. Bai to the village health center to abort the child.
The fetal month is already very large, and even if it is placed in a modern large hospital with better medical conditions, it may not be foolproof, let alone the township-level health centers in the 1980s with backward medical standards!
How many such things have been handled by these people, they must know how dangerous it is to forcefully abort the child in the older month, but they still have to take Sister Bai away. The Bai family really has no choice but to ask the villagers for help.
When Dongyang and the others rushed back, there were already many people in front of Xiao Baizi's convenience store. Many villagers specially called them back to the fields, hoping that they could help keep Sister Bai at the critical moment.
Cui Dahai and Zhao Hongmei were both communicating with the staff of xx office, hoping that they would let Sister Bai go.
Sister Bai is now leaning on Xiao Baizi's shoulder and crying. It seems that she is scared, her face is very bad, and her body is trembling.
The communication was not going smoothly. The staff who came here had just been sent from the county. They had no relatives here. They all rely on the regulations and did not talk about their feelings at all.
The death regulations cannot take into account all the actual situations, such as abolishing the child. The charter does not clearly stipulate that children who are several months old can be beaten for several months, so those who execute the charter naturally have different choices.
They can be proud or ruthless.
Dongyang is a soldier and has always believed that efficient execution is the key to the victory of the front-line combat troops. But now, she hopes that these people will not have such strong execution!
He couldn't persuade him, and he insisted on taking Sister Bai away. When he was annoyed, he warned the villagers not to delay their work, otherwise he would ask the police to come and arrest everyone who stopped them.
Just because of the friendship between those two handfuls of vermicelli, Dongyang couldn't watch Sister Bai be taken away.
She squeezed to Xiao Baizi and helped protect Sister Bai and said to the staff: "You can take people away, so let's explain it first. If a sister-in-law in Bai's family has an accident, who will be responsible? Killing people will pay for her life. If she encounters danger, will the person who takes her away pay for her life?"
It was just two simple questions that immediately calmed the scene.
Yes, who is responsible? Who can be responsible?
The staff was not easy to pass on. After a moment of silence, they asked back: "Did we force her to violate the regulations? Since it is not, we will deal with it if she violated the regulations. Who do you think should be responsible?"
"The rule is that the dead is alive. Is it just for the so-called rule that ignores the life and death of adults?" Dongyang had no way to answer his question, so he could only tell his own truth in a corner.
The other party immediately turned the topic back and said, "Whoever makes the mistake will be responsible. We are just doing things according to regulations. I hope you can cooperate with the work."
All those who came were tough. After a verbal battle, Dongyang was also defeated. As if he was afraid that she would leave, Sister Bai grabbed her hand tightly. Dongyang held her hand back and said gently in her ear: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine."
She really didn't know if it would be fine, but now Sister Bai was obviously frightened, and it was always good to give her some comfort.
To be honest, Dongyang disagrees with Sister Bai's behavior of giving birth to a child for the sake of giving birth, but she cannot agree with the behavior of a pregnant woman being dragged to abortion in such a year.
The concept will change with the improvement of people's economic and cultural level, but the lost lives will not be reborn as people realize their past mistakes, so Dongyang will definitely do his best to protect Mrs. Bai.
The staff immediately felt that they were particularly reasonable after winning the battle, and no longer had any more talk. They just wanted to drag people down.
Dongyang and Xiao Baizi protected Mrs. Bai's sister-in-law tightly, and relatives from the Bai family and fellow villagers from good relationships also came to help. The scene was in chaos for a while.
