evening.

A group of women in the village gathered here. They were doing their own work while talking nonstop.

Grandma Sanpang glanced at everyone and asked Ye Zi: "Is it almost here?"

Ye Zi nodded: "Well, most of them are here."

"Okay! Then let's have a meeting! Ah!" said Grandma Sanpang.

Ye Zi said to them, "Hey, stop arguing, let's listen to our new president talk to everyone."

When everyone heard this, the room suddenly became silent.

Grandma Sanpang looked at everyone and said, "My name is Xu Jinglan. I will call you here today. We are going to hold a meeting and tell you something."

Someone asked, "What's the matter?"

Grandma Sanpang: "I'll ask you first, how long has the women's rescue meeting been established in our village?"

Someone answered: "It's just been established for a few days."

Grandma Sanpang: "Who do you know what this woman we founded will do for? Ah!"

When everyone was asked this, look at me, look at you, and no one could answer.

The second sister shouted at this time: "Women will save us, isn't it just for us women to save ourselves?"

Grandma Sanpang: "Yes, this is just one aspect."

Someone asked again: "Where is nothing else?"

"That's right, we are all old ladies who are family-friendly, what else can we do?"

Grandma Sanpang: "Actually, if I don't say it, everyone should understand that the Japanese devils have occupied our place for many years. In order to drive away these invaders as soon as possible, our anti-Japanese coalition forces fought bloody battles with the enemy on the front line. Although we women cannot go to the front line to fight like them, we should also do something for them. Are you right?"

Everyone replied: "Yes."

"But what can we do for them?"

"That's right, we can't shoot, what can we do?"

Grandma Sanpang: "It's true that we can't shoot, but we have our hands. We can do things for them without going out."

"Tell me, what are you asking us to do?"

"Yes, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Grandma Sanpang saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and was very happy: "Okay, then I will tell you, can we women at home make military shoes for the soldiers on the front line?"

“We can do it in making shoes.”

Grandma Sanpang: "Well, let's send the prepared military shoes to the frontline soldiers and let them put on the shoes we made, so that they can fight more Japanese soldiers? Is this the case? Ah!"

"Yes."

Grandma Sanpang: "Do you guys say you're willing to do it?"

Everyone said in unison: "I'm willing."

Grandma Sanpang: "Although we are not comparable to the soldiers fighting against the frontline enemies, after all, we have made our due contribution to the War of Resistance? What do you think?"

Everyone nodded again.

Grandma Sanpang: "Since everyone agrees, we should not wait any longer. We can take action immediately after we go back."

Another question was: "President, let me ask again, what else can we do except make military shoes for the soldiers on the frontline? Ah!"

Grandma Sanpang: "The members of our Women's Rescue Association use the daytime to spin and weave cloth to make military shoes. At night, we can get together to teach everyone about culture."

Someone was surprised: "Learn culture? But we don't know a word or understand nothing?"

Grandma Sanpang: "It's just that we don't understand, we only learn it."

"But what's the use of learning it?"

"That is, it cannot be eaten as food or spent as money."

Grandma Sanfat: "You are wrong, ah! What are you doing when you study culture? Ah! It is to let us women read books and read newspapers. When the Japanese devils are beaten away in the future and the whole of China is liberated, we women will still have to participate in construction. By then, it will not be possible without culture! Ah!"

After hearing this, a woman stuck out her tongue and said, "Can we women really show up to participate in revolutionary work in the future?"

Grandma Sanpang: "This is fake, I don't believe it, let's wait and see when the time comes!"
