Amid the rooster crowing, some villagers yawned and walked out of the house.

The base also slowly woke up in this rooster crow, and the rising smoke, together with the morning mist, shrouded those mountain villages and fields in it, beautiful as a fairyland......

As the saying goes, it is easy to move from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift, which is an excellent embodiment in the base area.

The vast majority of the people in this land drink porridge in their spare time and eat dry when they are busy, twice a day, which has not changed for thousands of years.

But now, the base area has obviously abandoned the customs left by the ancestors, no longer going out to work on an empty stomach, but first getting some breakfast or something to eat before going out, and those children who are growing up not only have porridge to drink, but also often get a boiled egg to supplement their nutrition.

These changes, not to mention before Zhang Ran came here, even before the detachment went out to Cangshui, there were none!

In such a short period of more than a month and two months, there has been such a big change, and there is naturally a reason!

At a glance, the grain that is about to be harvested all over the mountains is swaying in the morning breeze, and the full particles have already bent the branches!

When every villager sees these crops, the deep happiness can't help but ripple in their hearts, and then flow from their faces and from their eyebrows......

In their memory, they have never remembered that there were more abundant years before this, and they believe that their ancestors have never seen more abundant years than this!

No matter how good the wind and rain are, this is true!

"This fertilizer is really a good thing, the land with chemical fertilizer can harvest at least 80 catties of grain per acre of land than without chemical fertilizer......"

An old farmer with a bent waist sighed, such a feeling, he is afraid that he has to say dozens of times a day, but he can't say enough, this emotion is not only with the excitement and joy of increasing production and income, but also with an unbelievable dream-like look, as if he is afraid that the next second to wake up, these things will be broken like a dream!

Because he knows that even in the most favorable harvest year, one acre of land will only receive one hundred and fifty or sixty catties of grain at most, and this chemical fertilizer will increase the yield of one acre of land by eighty catties, and it is the most conservative estimate!

This made him think that he was not dreaming, and he couldn't believe it.

"Old man, don't talk about it every day!"

The old woman came out of the house dissatisfied and muttered, "When you see the grain in this field, you can't move, and you don't get tired of seeing you every day?" Hurry up and come back to eat, you can beat eggs in the porridge, and when it's cold, it's fishy to eat......"

Although she said that the old man was not annoyed, the old woman herself looked at the crops that were about to be harvested in the field, and she couldn't move a little!

"Losers, the food hasn't been taken back yet, so you eat and drink a lot every day, and you eat eggs in the morning, you're not afraid of choking to death......"

The old man turned around and said angrily, saying in his heart that eating like this is the way we poor people should eat? The landlord and the old rich man eat like this!

"Dad, don't shout, now in the base area, who cares about eating an egg or something?"

The son and daughter-in-law happily looked at the black-faced father and said: "Our family has more than 20 acres of land, half of the land is made of chemical fertilizer, and it is estimated that the yield per mu is at least 2560 catties, all the fields are down, how can we collect more than 4,000 catties of grain, usually we can not only eat a few meals for nothing, but also earn money and earn work, what is it to eat a few eggs......

"That's it, old man!"

The old woman pouted on the side and said: "Now it's different from previous years, in previous years, our grain was not more than half of what we collect now, and we have to pay rent to the landlord's family, and we have to pay various assessments to the top, and the family will rely on more than 1,000 catties of grain to survive, and there is no way to save a little, but now it is different, the tax levied by the detachment is only a few hundred catties of grain, and our family can drop at least 4,000 catties of grain this season, three meals a day, and you can't finish eating it when you eat it dry......

"I'm too lazy to tell you - a family loser!"

The old man gritted his teeth angrily, took the bowl and left the table to eat.

The old woman's son and daughter-in-law ignored him, and ate on the table, saying that the Eighth Route Army is coming, and the villagers have a good life, and Captain Zhang has made this fertilizer, which is really a gossip about immeasurable merit, etc., and said that he should quickly find a carpenter to make a cabinet, otherwise the grain will be collected too much, and there will be no place to put it at home......

Hearing that the family was worried that there was no place to put food, the old man felt like a dream for a while-he had lived for more than 50 now, and he was worried about not being able to eat at any time, and now the family was worried that there was no place to put the food......

Then he was really anxious again, thinking that he had to find the carpenter quickly, and he would not be able to make it to the trip if he was too late!

After all, there is no place to put this food, not only in your own home, but in this base area, but every household is like this......

This kind of happy troubles can be found everywhere in almost every household in and around the base area!

Within the branch.

After Zhang Ran finished washing, he saw a large bowl of hot poached eggs on the table, estimated to be no less than five or six eggs.

Although he is accustomed to taking care of himself in many aspects of life on Xiaozao's side, seeing so many big bowls of poached eggs, Zhang Ran still can't help but say to Xiaozao's cook with a little guilt: "Aunt Luo, it's okay to be a little better than the soldiers, it's too much like this, pay attention in the future, the soldiers and villagers have seen it, and it won't have a good impact if it is passed out......"

"Captain Zhang, what are you talking about......

Aunt Luo rubbed her hands on the apron and said happily: "Now over there in the chicken farm, more than 400 chickens lay eggs, and you have to collect 300 eggs a day, you are not here for a while, the eggs in the warehouse are piled up, Secretary Wang is afraid that the eggs will be bad, and he also specially sent some militia to the militia in various villages to make up for the militia or something, today is not only you, the soldiers of the detachment can eat like this - you can rest assured, I didn't make a special ...... for you."

"The chickens on our chicken farm are starting to lay eggs in large numbers? Really! ”

I came back last night and was busy arguing with a group of landlords and old money, and later I was chatting with Deng Fang about work and doing statistics on seizures after the war, so I didn't bother to understand the recent situation in the village, and I didn't even have time to sell the accounts in the village.

Now that he woke up in the morning and heard this kind of good news, Zhang Ran was overjoyed.

"Captain Zhang, can I still lie to you? Besides, I don't dare......"

Seeing that Zhang Ran was in such a good mood, Aunt Luo was also in the mood to joke with Zhang Ran: "Not only the detachment, but also the ten miles and eight towns in our base area, eating an egg and dry rice is not a big deal for a long time, the villagers all say that since Captain Zhang you came, everyone has gained weight......

"As a cadre of the Eighth Route Army, helping the villagers do things, that's what it should be, and it's ...... to do things."

Aunt Luo's sycophant is not clever, but these words fell on Zhang Ran's ears, it was definitely the best compliment I had ever heard in my life!

used to be a poverty alleviation cadre, and the most unsightly thing was the tight life of the villagers.

In this era, seeing that these villagers are not having three meals, and the whole family often does not even have a change of clothes, but they still firmly support themselves and support the detachment in this war, the mood of improving the lives of the villagers has become doubly urgent for Zhang Ran!

It is often said that heroes cannot be allowed to shed blood and tears.

But for the people who support themselves, let them support and suffer at the same time, then their hearts are definitely not much better!

In history, the predecessors of the Eighth Route Army, when they were hungry and couldn't even lift water, let the wild vegetables relatively close to their places of residence be picked by the common people according to the requirements, and they went to the root place to pick, which was also a kind of reward for the villagers!

Zhang Ran was moved by the faith and persistence of these predecessors, but he really didn't want to do this.

He didn't want his soldiers to let the wild vegetables close to their place of residence be picked by the villagers, he wanted his base area, not only the soldiers, but also the villagers, not only to pick wild vegetables!

Not only do you not have to pick wild vegetables, but you also have to eat enough!

Not only should you be full, but you should also eat well!

In his eyes, this kind of life is the best reward for the villagers to support themselves and the Eighth Route Army, and it is definitely more sincere than letting the wild vegetables that are closer and easier to pick to the villagers!

Aunt Luo's words let Zhang Ran know that what he wanted to give back to these villagers who supported him and supported the detachment was gradually being realized, how could he be unhappy?

That kind of happiness is even happier and more satisfying than the complete defeat of the Miura squadron at the Tiger Killing Mouth, the complete annihilation of the Ikeda squadron at Weijiapo, and the revenge of more than 300 villagers in Weijiapo who died tragically!

I don't know if it's because of these, when Zhang Ran ate the poached eggs in the bowl, he clearly felt that it was extraordinarily fragrant.

That kind of fragrance made him can't help but stroll around while eating a bowl of eggs, looking at the way those soldiers are holding a bowl of eggs and smiling at themselves, he walked over and asked, are the eggs delicious? Incense, right? That's all because I built a chicken farm and used scientific means to breed, so you have bowls and bowls of eggs to eat......

The soldiers of the detachment laughed happily, thinking that their own captain at this time was particularly cute.

The warriors of Cangshui were even more smiling.

They thought that when they came to participate in the Eighth Route Army, the days must be extremely hard, after all, how poor the Eighth Route Army was, they had not only heard it once or twice.

Now they are gobbling up a bowl of poached eggs one by one, and they said in their hearts that they knew that Balu actually ate so well, why did they have to follow Duan Changdong for a bowl of rice - how good it is to do Balu early!

Not only does it have a good reputation, but the key is that it also eats well......

They feel that they have followed the detachment here, and they have made a lot of money and fished out!

After showing off her great achievements to everyone, Zhang Ran put down the bowl and went to the farm to check his achievements.
