Chapter 743: There's a Rush (Second Update!) )
Steamed buns and stewed horse meat, in the past, you may not be able to eat it during the New Year!
Although the third and fourth children were very tired, they still rubbed themselves and got up from the chair, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes lit up and shouted: "Great, I have meat to eat again......"
"Mother, we'll do it now......"
The wife didn't move, a trace of hesitation flashed on her face at first, and then she spoke: "The head of the house, didn't you just eat steamed buns and horse meat a few days ago, and now you eat them again!" Although our family has saved a lot of food, we can't afford to eat like this! ”
The third and fourth children hurriedly shifted their gaze to Daddy Zhang and looked at him!
Whether you can eat meat tonight, whether you can eat steamed buns, it's up to Daddy to take this sentence!
They are very glad that Daddy's final decision is to eat meat and steamed buns!
"child, don't be reluctant, we have food at home!"
If Daddy Zhang remembers correctly, this sentence should be the most confident sentence he has ever said in the past few years!
After finishing speaking, I was stunned for a moment!
But he quickly reacted, and began to calculate with his fingers: "The boss provides information to the Eighth Route Army, leads the way, and returns two hundred catties of food!" ”
"The eldest joined the army, and the family received a settling-in allowance of 100 catties of food, and the second brother and I can carry 50 catties back in a while, adding up to 350 catties!"
"Now there is still more than half a month before spring ploughing, as long as everyone is full, it will be no problem to open another four acres of land before spring ploughing!"
"Four acres of land can be exchanged for two hundred catties of grain, which adds up to five hundred and fifty catties!"
"Eat three catties a day, and these grains are enough for us to last for half a year!"
"And I heard from the village chief that after the spring ploughing, the Eighth Route Army will organize everyone to dig canals, build dams, and dig wells outside the village, and when doing things, the Eighth Route Army will all take care of the food, and if you don't do it, you will be able to share some grain as a reward! Therefore, it will definitely be no problem for our family to eat the grain until the autumn harvest! ”
"Especially if the canal is repaired after spring ploughing, if the time is very long, the family can save at least two people's grain, and there will be one or two hundred catties of grain left in the autumn harvest!"
"After the autumn harvest, our days are better! It's also more energetic! ”
"My family now has eighteen acres of land, and after all the wasteland outside the village is turned into fertile land, each person can still divide one acre of flat land and one acre of mountainous land before spring ploughing!"
"At that time, there will be twenty-four acres of good land and six acres of mountainous land at home!"
"Serve well, twenty-four acres of good land can harvest 3,500 catties of grain!"
"If you subtract 20% of the grain tax, you can almost have 3,000 catties of grain left!"
"And that's not counting the sloping harvest!"
"The village chief said that all the sweet potatoes will be planted on the slopes and then sold to the Eighth Route Army!"
"Lingqiu is doing this over there, the sweet potatoes harvested on one acre of slope land, minus the grain tax, can be exchanged for at least fifty catties of grain!"
"Six acres of sloping land add up to more than 300 catties of grain, which is the ration of one person on top!"
"I've been farming for most of my life, and my family's granary has never been filled with so much grain!"
"More than 3,000 catties, not only enough for us to eat for a year, but also take a lot of grain out to exchange for the ocean, repair the house, and make a set of clothes for everyone!"
Speaking of which, the smile on Daddy Zhang's face became even stronger!
It seems that I have seen the picture of the grain warehouse!
The corners of his mouth rose, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's still going to follow the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"I now think it's not a good thing to let the boss become the Eighth Route Army!"
"They are indeed the team of our people, and everything is considered for our people!"
"Okay, let's not talk about it, second, let's go to the guerrilla station to get food now!"
"it, you go cook!"
"Don't be reluctant, when we are full, we will have the strength to work tomorrow, reclaim more land, and exchange more food!"
The worry on the wife's face is gone!
Although he didn't smile like Daddy Zhang, his expression was obviously much more relaxed!
Her husband's words also made her see hope, and she felt that the next days would be more and more promising!
immediately replied: "Okay, I listen to you, you say eat steamed bread!" ”
The guerrillas at the entrance of the village are stationed, and dozens of ordinary people are gathered there!
When I went in, I had different expressions, some expectation, some worried!
When they came out, everyone was carrying a bag of food on their shoulders and smiling!
You can see that their joy is from the heart!
"Uncle Zhang, you're also here to get food?" Seeing Daddy Zhang coming, the guerrilla leader who was distributing food hurriedly said hello!
There were seven young men in the village who joined the main force and local troops, and the boss of the Zhang family was one of them. As the leader of the guerrilla team in the village, he must be familiar with the situation of each soldier's family, and help as much as possible in his future life, so that those recruits have no worries in the army!
Daddy Zhang hurriedly replied: "I'm here to receive grain, and I just finished cultivating an acre of land yesterday!" ”
"Fifty catties of grain per acre of land, I'll pack it for you now!" The guerrilla leader immediately replied, and then he got busy!
Fifty catties of grain, a catty is a lot, and it will soon be delivered to Daddy Zhang!
The second child subconsciously wanted to take it over and carry it back by himself, but was rejected by Daddy Zhang!
Fifty pounds of food was heavy on his shoulders, but Daddy Zhang didn't think it was a burden, and he walked more briskly than when he came, and greeted people along the way!
The neighbor's eyes looking at Daddy Zhang were also full of envy!
Providing intelligence to the Eighth Route Army, joining the Eighth Route Army, joining the guerrillas, at the beginning of several things, many people were watching and couldn't make up their minds!
And waiting means missing out!
When the guerrillas were formed and began to organize everyone to reclaim the wasteland and slopes outside the village, these people began to wait and see again, and they were very skeptical of the promise of the Eighth Route Army, thinking that it was the Eighth Route Army to coax everyone!
In the end, the reclaimed land was not only distributed to everyone for free, but also given 50 catties of grain per mu of land as a reward when it was reclaimed!
In the end, all the benefits belonged to everyone, and the Eighth Route Army, as the organizer of the whole thing, got nothing!
In the eyes of many people, the Eighth Route Army is already a rare good army if it does not rob or take advantage of everyone!
How can they help everyone so freely, they are not stupid!
With this skepticism, more than half of the people in the village did not reclaim the land!
Almost all of the people who went were the families of the recruits and guerrillas who joined the Eighth Route Army!
And it went to the laughter of the rest of the village!
Thinking that they must have been deceived by the Eighth Route Army, they spent a lot of effort to reclaim the land, and in the end, all the cheap Eighth Route Army did not say, they could not get anything, and they wasted a lot of energy in vain!
Now they can't laugh!
Watching Daddy Zhang carry back food from the Eighth Route Army, eat steamed buns all at once, and live a good life!
I still stay at home and eat multigrains and wild vegetables with my family!
In addition to envy in his eyes, he regrets it, and he can't wait to slap himself!
The only thing that made them rejoice was that the Eighth Route Army did not give up on them!
As long as everyone goes outside the village to reclaim the land in the next few days, they can also exchange food from the Eighth Route Army and live a good life themselves!
After Daddy Zhang walked in front of them with the food on his back, all of them had a determined expression on their faces!
Hurry home in a hurry, ask my wife to change dinner to dry, eat a full stomach, and go to reclaim the land tomorrow and exchange food!
At the same time, they no longer had a skeptical attitude towards the Eighth Route Army, and began to believe their propaganda, the Eighth Route Army is really the people's own team, everything is considered for the people, and words are counted, which is completely different from the anti-Japanese team that everyone has encountered before!
On the surface, he is under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, but secretly he uses various means to exploit the people, snatch things from everyone, and reap benefits!
