Since it has been decided to open a warehouse and release grain, first of all, there must be enough publicity, and secondly, there must be a good order. Tens of thousands of catties of grain from millions of cattle families, of course no one will come to receive it when it is distributed, but if you don't pay attention to order, it will not work!

Throughout Chinese and foreign history, stampedes caused by poor organization are not uncommon. Ren Laifeng didn't want to cause any damage to the local people because he opened a warehouse to release grain. A good thing is a good thing, and a good thing must not be artificially turned into a bad thing!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I won't say anything about it because it's a happy day. Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Niujiatun has spread: on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Northeast anti-Japanese guerrillas will open a warehouse in Niujiajia to release grain! Each household in the village is limited to 100 catties!

When the villagers heard it, it was really fake? 100 catties per person, if there are five or six people in the family, wouldn't they be able to receive 5 or 600 catties of grain? If there are relatives in other villages, can they also call relatives from other villages to come over and receive them together? Who doesn't have a seven-aunt or eight-aunt? There are not a few sisters and daughters who marry into other villages or even counties, so if they can get food and eat well, do they have to take care of their relatives?

That's when you can experience the benefits of publicity. Someone put up a notice on the threshing floor in the village, and the literate one stood in front of the notice and read it to the big guys.

"There are millions of cattle in Niujiatun Village, and the family has 30,000 catties of grain. The total number of villagers in this village is 300 and 14. Our ministry has decided to distribute grain from 9 a.m. on the sixth day of the first lunar month, with a limit of 100 catties per person. Due to the limited amount of food, the distribution is limited to the villagers. "Behind it is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, and at the end is the year, month and day.

When the villagers heard this, ah, a total of 100 catties per person? I called my relatives over, and if they received it, maybe their share would be gone! I don't know the total amount of food, but once I know that one hundred catties per person is not enough, who will say it? Supporting relatives? Then you have to eat your own family first!

The propaganda work was carried out for five days, and every day people went to the threshing floor to listen to the reading of the notices. More people are preparing large vats of cloth bags at home, and they can't find a place to store the grain when they receive it. Some people even changed the three meals of wild vegetable rice a day to two, in order to leave their stomachs to eat food on the sixth day of the new year.

In the expectation of everyone, the sixth day of the first lunar month finally came. Early in the morning, before dawn, the door of the village chief Niu Wan's house was crowded with people. The villagers waited with various pockets to open the warehouse to release grain. Before receiving the grain, the villagers were quite excited, and everyone huddled together to discuss how to eat the food after receiving it.

This said, he has to go back and steam a few pots of dumplings to have a good time! That said, you have to drink cornmeal porridge every day and eat sorghum rice every other day.

In the midst of the discussion of the villagers, the door of Niu Wan's house opened, and the villagers rushed in! Although they are all from one village, there are very few people who have come to Niu Wan's house. People are village chiefs and big landlords, what are you doing in other people's homes? Except for those tenants who grow cattle and millions of land, they have asked for rent every year, and few ordinary villagers really know about it.

There were a few strong men with guns in the courtyard who showed everyone the way, "Go this way, go this way, don't squeeze don't squeeze, as long as it's from this village, everyone has a share." ”

That being said, the villagers are not stupid. The notice on the threshing floor clearly wrote, 300 people, 14 people, 30,000 catties of grain, where to find the food of the 14 people?

The crowd was huddled in front of the granary, but the door of the granary was still locked, and two long tables were placed near the door, behind which a few people sit.

The one sitting in the middle knows someone, isn't this the family member who went to Niu Xiangyi for treatment that day? How did he sit in the middle of the table? Could it be that he is the leader of the guerrillas? Some clever villagers guessed Ren Laifeng's identity. Isn't the old man sitting at the table a million? Is he willing to open a warehouse and release grain? The discussion below is louder.

"Folks, please be quiet!" Ren Laifeng stood up and stretched out his two hands to make a downward gesture, the noise slowly became quieter, and in the end, there was no sound, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ren Laifeng.

"There are too many of us here today. I originally planned to finish the grain in two days, but I didn't expect the enthusiasm of the villagers to be so high? ”

"Sir, you can rest early when we're done early. We don't want to make trouble for the chief.! Someone in the crowd picked up such a voice, and the scene burst into laughter.

"Please line up, we can send food!" After Ren Laifeng finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers came from the side and began to guide the crowd. Line up! The villagers were not very accustomed to the queue at first, but with the guidance of the soldiers, they finally stood in line. In total, there were two queues. The procession to receive the grain lined up from the gate of the granary to the gate of Niu Wan's house.

Seeing that the team is lined up, Ren Laifeng announced the opening of the door! The heavy granary door was opened, and the smell of aged grain wafted out with the wind, and the faces of experienced villagers immediately showed surprise! Whether it's new or old, there must be food in it!

Inside the granary are two large grain piles, one is corn and the other is sorghum rice. The villagers went in twos and twos. Two men went in, one for corn and the other for sorghum. If the two of them have a dispute over sorghum and corn, they will go back to the back of the line and re-arrange.

This is all the means used by Ren Laifeng to prevent a dispute. This proved to be quite effective. From the beginning to the end, none of the villagers had a dispute over whether they wanted sorghum or corn. Whoever is in which line will have which one, without any complaints.

It's been five days, and the villagers have pockets for their own preparations, and the soldiers in charge of distributing food just take buckets and put them in their pockets with a bucket of ten catties. Pack ten buckets and go one, and pretend to be ten buckets and go one. The team is non-stop, but the fighters are rotating. If you load four or five hundred pounds, you have to change people. This job is too testing of people's physical strength, and the body bones are slightly weaker and can't hold on to a few people.

"Hey, big brother, I'm not satisfied with this fight, let's decorate it for me again. It's okay to install a small half bucket. ”

"No, uncle, the people in the back are waiting, please let me go."

"Hey, how do you talk, boy? What do you want me to give in? I'll tell you, the hundred pounds you loaded for me are not enough! "There was an argument between an old man in his sixties and a soldier who distributed food over the amount of food.

"Sir, you don't think he packed enough for you, do you?" Huang Guojin, who was in charge of on-site supervision, hurriedly came over to ask the old man.

"Sir, look, how can I have a hundred pounds?"
