Ping'an Town, which is more than 20 miles away from Foshan, is one of the areas that completed the land grant order relatively early, and most of the big households in the town were originally people from the Thirteen Lines, and these big households were completely solved in the action of the Guangfu Army to clear the Thirteen Lines. The Guangfu Army only confiscated the land, but did not kill them from the top.

Guangdong's side has always been very obedient to the powerful, since the Guangfu Army has occupied a comprehensive advantage, and even the foreigners have been solved by the Guangfu Army, everyone is naturally unwilling to die for nothing. Not to mention that there is no longer a peaceful town at this time, and who can still get the money that can send the people to death.

Liu San is an ordinary person in Ping'an Town, Liu San has four children, two boys and two girls, and his family has five acres of land. Every year, the food is just enough for the whole family to eat. After Liu San's land was divided, the same good land as his family's paddy field was allocated to seven acres, which couldn't help but make Liu San feel very uncomfortable. Why did you suddenly have two acres of land? Liu San knew that he had received such benefits, and someone must have lost the land. This thing is obvious, and the lack of land is naturally the old men in Ping'an Town. The old men will definitely hold a grudge after they have less land, they don't dare to hold a grudge against the Guangfu Army, will they remember Liu Sanlai? Liu San was a little scared. So when he saw those old men before, Liu San felt a little timid in his heart.

But the old men in the past seemed to have been frightened by the Liberation Army, Liu San slowly appeared, he was a little timid when he looked at the old men, but the old men looked at Liu San and their sight was even more timid. After more than a year has passed, Liu San has slowly accepted the fact that his land has become bigger. When he saw the old men before, the cowardice in Liu San's heart became less and less, and a sense of pride that he couldn't explain became more.

And what makes Liu San proud is not only the land, but also the great changes in the local area, in addition to the land, the biggest change is the cooperatives established by the local Liberation Army. The sickles I bought in the past were all wrought iron, black in appearance, easy to rust, not durable, and even more expensive. Even if Liu San has five acres of land, after paying taxes, it will only be enough for his family to eat. It's impossible to buy a new farm implement.

The cooperatives established by the Guangfu Army in Ping'an Town have sickles for sale. The sickle is white-brushed, and it is pleasing to look at. The knife edge is sharp and the blade is hard. Liu San couldn't believe that these scythes were made of iron just like the black scythes before. He plucked up the courage to buy two of them, and after using them, he felt really good. In the past, the sickle had to be sharpened every few days. It can be sharpened hard, and it does become sharp in a short time, but it will greatly reduce the life of the sickle. The grinding is not ruthless, and it is not sharp. How to sharpen knives has been a matter of contention with Liu San's strong labor since Liu San's grandfather. Liu San still remembers that his father was beaten by Liu San's grandfather because he wanted to grind more.

The new sickle is different, it feels very hard when it is sharpened, and after grinding it once, it will be used for almost a month, and the cutting grass is still very sharp. With a single sword, the grass was cut with a slush. For this reason, Liu San also beat his baby several times. These lazy babies know how to be lazy, and every time they come back from mowing, there is still the same amount in the basket as before. Didn't they think his father knew how easy the new scythe waster?

Not only did the Liberation Army sell cheap sickles, but there were also shops in the town that repaired farm tools. Once Liu Sanxian had a sickle that was different from the past, and after asking his son, he learned that his son was naughty, and when he was swinging the sickle, he cut a stone and broke the sickle. His son was frightened, and finally went to the place where he repaired the sickle to beg, and the Guangxi man who was in charge of repairing the sickle was a soldier of the Liberation Army, and actually accepted the broken sickle and gave Liu San's son a new sickle.

Liu San actually appreciated his son's cleverness, so Liu San just kicked his son a few times and didn't beat him to death. After beating his son, Liu San began to ask his son what benefits he had promised others, and they would give him a new sickle. The son was also beaten by Liu San, and he said unconvinced: "Daddy, the blacksmith Master Liu said that if the sickle is broken, as long as you take the complete sickle, the Guangfu Army will replace it with a new one." Just add two pennies. ”

Hearing this, Liu San was angry. The little rabbit cub dared to steal the family's two pennies, this is not ready to die! Just as he was about to beat his son, his son shouted, "I just helped Master Liu pull the bellows for a while, and he didn't ask me for money!" ”

is very clear about his son Liu San, when did he tell the truth. After beating him mercilessly, Liu San forced him to ask, "What did you promise to others?" Frankly! If you don't say anything, you will fight again! ”

In the end, Liu San's son suddenly shouted, "Daddy, I think you might as well be in the Liberation Army." Master Liu said that the soldiers in the Liberation Army were not allowed to beat and scold the soldiers. Don't even fight as a soldier because you're not happy. Every time you hit me, you're upset! I'm going to be a soldier and never come back! ”

Hearing his son shouting that he was going to be a soldier, Liu San raised his hand and was stunned. Those who have been soldiers in these years are not good things, and the Qing army naturally needless to say, passing a soldier is like a bandit. The local regimental training will only bully the people, and when they encounter a strong enemy, they will immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. Liu San saw with his own eyes a group of bears who had shouted to kill the Guangfu Army when they faced the attacking Guangfu Army.

The Liberation Army is a completely different army. Last year, in the spring and autumn of last year, when the two agricultural seasons were busy, the troops of the Guangfu Army went to Ping'an Town, the first time was to help the people plant land and plant rice, and the second time was to help the people harvest. It was at that time that Master Liu took his family to live in Ping'an Town. Master Liu was also given a piece of land, and in addition to farming, he was doing blacksmith work. Those young soldiers who are serving in the army are all from the common people who farm, and the retired Master Liu relies on his skills to eat in addition to farming. Liu San knew for the first time that after becoming a soldier, people could not be bad, and they could still be the same as ordinary people.

But these are not enough for Liu San to accept his son as a soldier. Liu San didn't like the Guangfu Army, because the Guangfu Army was in charge of too much.

Farming was originally the people's own business, but the Guangfu Army insisted on interfering in the matter of farming. Jitang agriculture is the planting of mulberry trees or sugar cane around the paddy fields, and those who grow sugar cane are required to send the sugar cane to the sugar factory designated by the Liberation Army to extract sugar. Those who planted mulberry trees and raised silkworms, and there were people from the Guangfu Army who came to promote how to plant mulberry and what kind of silkworm seeds should be used, and the silkworm cocoons had to be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives responsible for collecting silkworm cocoons by the Guangfu Army. Even what kind of fish to raise in the paddy fields, the Guangfu Army has to intervene.

Liu San's family's dike-pond grows sugarcane, and with this income, Liu San saved money for the first time. He also bought six sickles, one for each of them, including his daughter, when he was working. This really made his family work much faster. But Liu San was still not satisfied.

In all fairness, whether it is a sugar factory or a silk reeling factory, the purchase price is not bad, and it is definitely not a bully. Someone stabilized the acquirer, which did make it a lot more convenient for Liu San. However, Liu San, like ordinary people, has a very simple concept. The people all believe that the Liberation Army, as an official government, must have their benefits in doing this, and the Liberation Army will definitely make the people suffer losses while gaining benefits. Although Liu San didn't know if he really suffered a loss, he couldn't help but think like this in his heart, and he would feel uncomfortable because of thinking like this.

In addition to these, Liu San has other grievances. Seeing that the land of the former big families has become the same as that of ordinary people, Liu Sansheng has a great sense of satisfaction. But the Guangfu army told the people that in the future, they would not be allowed to pay rent except for food, and they would not let the landlord do so.

Originally, farming and paying rent is a matter of course, Liu San thinks so, I farm for other people, if people don't care about my food and don't pay me, then I have to ask for an explanation, but people take care of the food, give money, what else do I have to do. After the officials appointed by the Guangfu Army in the village called a meeting and said this, Liu San thought that it was a good thing not to pay rent now, but if he had money in the future and bought a few acres of land, wouldn't others not pay rent to him, and who knew how long the Guangfu Army would fight. If we don't take advantage of the current situation when the Liberation Army is gaining momentum, hurry up to save money to buy land, if the Liberation Army is defeated, won't Liu San have no chance?

Liu Sanke is very clear, not only his family has earned some money by planting sugarcane, but other families have made money by planting sugarcane, mulberry and silkworms. The sickle is not something that Liu San's family can afford, every household can afford to buy. Although the foreign cloth is not as strong as the homespun cloth, it is thin and refreshing, and it is much cheaper than the homespun cloth. Originally, each family weaved their own cloth, but now some families simply buy cloth to make clothes. The time saved in weaving is used for other livelihoods. The young girls went to work in the silk reeling factory, and the men went to work in the sugar factory. If everyone had money, who would sell the land?

At this time, his son did not say that he would earn money for the family, but he was clamoring to become a soldier. When you are a soldier, you have to go to war, work for the Liberation Army, and don't earn money for your own family! Liu San was so angry when he thought of this, he turned around and went to find a wooden stick and slammed it at his son.

Liu San's son jumped backwards and dodged Liu San's cane blow. Liu San didn't expect his son to dare to hide, this anger became even stronger, Liu San picked up the stick and was about to smash it at his son's head. At this time, someone suddenly jumped up behind him and hugged Liu San, who was Liu San's wife. I heard Liu San's wife crying: "Are you going to beat him to death?" ”

Listening to his wife's cry, Liu San's anger burned doubled, he shook his wife away with a shock of his arms, and then slapped his wife and knocked her to the ground, "This is all what you are used to, and he dares to hide now!" ”

After beating his wife, Liu San turned around and was about to continue to clean up his son, but he saw his son crying and shouting: "I will never go back to this house again!" Then he saw his son running out of the yard and running away into the distance.

Liu San was tired enough to toss this time, looking at his son's back, Liu San scolded angrily: "Don't come back!" I'll beat you to death when you come back! You're starving to death outside! ”

When scolding like this, Liu San really thought so. At least for this time, he was convinced that after leaving home, his son would come home hungry in a short time. At that time, Liu San will be able to clean up his son well.

But that night, Liu San's son did not come home. The next day, his son still didn't come home. Now Liu San felt that something was wrong. Could it be that something really happened to his son?

On the third day, Li Chang arrived at Liu San's house. As soon as he entered the door, the lieutenant chief said with a smile: "Liu San! Your son is a soldier, and I'm here to tell you about tax relief for military dependents! Congratulations! ”

Liu San only heard the news of his son becoming a soldier, and he felt a buzzing in his ears, and he didn't know what the chief said later.
