Chapter 269: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (105)
Seeing that Sister Tan was silent, Yun Tinglan gave her another chance, "Think about it from another angle. There is no such thing as saving people. Based on Zhao Jianshe's usual performance, do you think he is qualified to go to college?"
Yes, because she thinks he is a good comrade, Sister Tan believes that he should not accept benefits, as this would corrupt her mind.
"That's it. Such an outstanding comrade must be given the opportunity to learn further and shine on a bigger stage. Besides, he was injured while saving people. For such a good comrade, shouldn't the leaders of our regiment give him some care?"
"They say that when faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. In your opinion, is it that the influence of material rewards for courageous acts is bad? Or is it better for everyone to be indifferent and selfish and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear?"
Sister Tan moved her lips but said nothing more.
Song Jinhan added at the right time, "We will also take your situation seriously. There must be rewards and punishments. For those who take shortcuts and fabricate false stories of bravery, the group will definitely punish them severely and will never tolerate them!"
For those who deliberately look for opportunities to be brave and righteous, as long as the result is good, we can turn a blind eye. Of course, there is no need to mention these again, so as to avoid this old lady getting upset again.
Sister Tan's expression eased a little. She knew in her heart that some things cannot be forced. The people of this generation are not as pure-minded as theirs!
When Song Jinhan saw Sister Tan off, Yun Tinglan heard him assure Sister Tan that he would thoroughly investigate the good people and good deeds in the three letters and would never give anyone the opportunity to cheat.
Inside the house, Xu Jianmin pointed at Yun Tinglan and said, "You, don't be so reckless next time. It's not easy for Sister Tan either. You may not understand her feelings, but you have to respect her..."
Yun Tinglan: “…”
She felt that she was a little wronged. She really respected Sister Tan and her words were quite tactful. Besides, if you don't make some things clear, Sister Tan will just be confused.
Seeing the confused looks in the two children's eyes, Song Jinhan told Yi'an and Yining an allusion to "Zi Gong Redeems a Man".
"In the late Spring and Autumn Period, there was a law in the State of Lu: if a Lu citizen went to another country and saw his compatriots enslaved, he could get compensation and rewards from the king after returning home as long as he could redeem them and help them gain freedom.
Confucius' student Zigong once redeemed a slave, but he did not ask for compensation. He was a businessman and very rich, so he did not need compensation or reward. He also thought it was too troublesome to ask the king for compensation.
But his teacher Confucius disagreed and criticized, "You are wrong. Asking for ransom and compensation from the state will not damage your character; on the contrary, if you don't go, no one will redeem those slaves in the future."
why?
Because Zigong put himself on a moral high ground, but not everyone is rich like him. If others ask for a reward, they will have concerns, worrying that others will accuse them of redeeming people just for the reward.
So Zigong went to collect the ransom and reward. Later, Zilu saved a drowning man, and after being rescued, the man gave Zilu a cow, and Zilu happily accepted it..."
Yian tilted his head and thought, Zigong was just like Grandma Tan. The point was not "asking for compensation", but that Zigong's behavior invisibly put pressure on others and also blocked the way of life for those victims who came later.
He received the reward, and later when Zilu encountered a drowning person, he also took the initiative to help him. This is the same as the valiant award given to Zhao Jianshe by the regiment, which is to hope that everyone can learn more about the spirit of valiant action.
Yining looked up at her father and said, "But what Grandma Tan said makes sense. What if someone thinks it's profitable and cheats?"
Yun Tinglan patted her daughter's head and said, "Everything has two sides. There must be punishment for every reward. We should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. But we should be wary of some people who have impure motives and use courageous acts as a shortcut to promotion. But this is a matter for adults. You should go to bed quickly."
You wouldn't know until you check. You'll be shocked to find that three of them were acts of bravery and three were fake.
The first two are easy to deal with, they are just self-directed and self-acted.
The last one, sacrificed himself to put out the fire...
"Haha!" Xu Jianmin was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the spot. The enamel cup bounced on the ground a few times and rolled to the door. He scolded loudly, "We can't tolerate such black sheep! The group will not allow such black sheep to stay. Xiaoyun, go and see the girl who really put out the fire."
No problem, Yun Tinglan nodded.
Before she and her men reached the village entrance, they encountered an old ox cart with a big red wedding character pasted on it, which was particularly conspicuous among the white snow. The driver saw that it was a military truck and quickly drove the old ox to the side of the road to make way.
Yun Tinglan casually glanced at the people on the ox cart.
It should be the bride, lying on the ox cart, covered tightly with blankets, with a red veil on her head. I don't know if it was because the ox cart was shaking violently or she twisted herself, the red veil slipped off, revealing her mouth and nose.
One side was intact, while the other side was injured, with severe burns. The big red veil was still stuck to the dead skin on her face, which had actually been rubbed out with new blood and pus.
wrong!
"Turn around and stop that ox cart." Yun Tinglan turned around suddenly, looked at the ox cart going away outside the window, and gave orders to the driver.
The truck came back and blocked the road. The cattle driver looked terrified and left his bride behind and ran into the snow on the side of the road.
Yun Tinglan lifted the quilt and saw the girl lying there tied up. When she saw Yun Tinglan, she moved her mouth to ask for help but no sound came out.
"Director, let Xiao Liu and the others drive the bullock cart to take this girl back to the clinic. We still have to go to Xiaotagou."
"No need, she is the person we are looking for." Yun Tinglan was very sure.
The accompanying guards had already captured the man. He was pale and terrified. When he saw Yun Tinglan, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Spare my life."
Yun Tinglan dodged and Xiao Liu grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up. He huddled in the snow, shivering.
Xiao Liu asked and he answered.
This man is called Li Quan, he is 43 years old, his family is poor, he is lazy, he likes to drink, and he is an old bachelor. Last night, someone came to his house and said that he would give him a wife. Although she was disfigured, she was still a woman, a young girl, and she didn't cost any money.
He was moved, and early in the morning he borrowed the village's ox cart to pick up the bride, and even extravagantly exchanged her red veil with hers.
As for why he ran away? He was just poor and lazy, not stupid. There was obviously something fishy about this matter. If no one investigated, he would naturally be happy to get a wife for free.
If something really happens, he won't take the blame.
Therefore, Li Quan was particularly single and told everything.
Yun Tinglan untied the rope, carried Qin Zhihua into the car, and used silver needles to relieve Qin Zhihua's pain before treating her wounds.
The left hand and left arm were severely burned and had not been properly treated, so they had become festered.
