"What, are you afraid of Ma Chengbang's revenge?"

As soon as Zhang Ran looked at Wang Changtian's face, he knew what was going on.

Regarding the current situation, Wang Changtian is much more worried than Zhang Ran.

After all, Zhang Ran's era was at least equal on the surface, so even in front of those big leaders, he lacked enough awe, not to mention that Ma Chengbang was just a landlord.

But Wang Changtian is different, he has been growing up in this era, and being oppressed has become a habit, and Ma Chengbang is already a great man in his heart!

And in order to protect himself, today he said a lot of bad things about Ma Chengbang in front of Ma Youtian and others, how could he not worry about Ma Chengbang's revenge?

"Ma Chengbang, a big landlord, has done a lot of bad things in the fish and meat township!"

Zhang Ran said loudly: "Now that our Eighth Route Army is here, we will never continue to tolerate him bullying the common people - are you afraid that he will retaliate?" Even if he doesn't retaliate, I'm going to find him! ”

"However, the Ma family is not only rich and powerful, but also has dozens of family members, as well as guns and ......," Wang Changtian said.

"His Ma family, do you dare to have more people than our Eighth Route Army, and more than guns?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran laughed: "Our Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang is not afraid, are you still afraid of him Ma Chengbang?" ”

“……”

Wang Changtian was speechless, and said in his heart, can you take a bite of the Eighth Route Army?

Your Eighth Route Army is a bull, but now you are a bare-pole commander - others may not see it, but Wang Changtian can see it a little.

After all, if Zhang Ran still had a team to follow, would he be mixed up to the extent of helping Lu Yan's family make cattle and horses and plow the land for a meal?

However, although Wang Changtian thought that Zhang Ran was the commander of the light pole, he definitely didn't expect that Zhang Ran, the leader of the Eighth Route Jindong Detachment, was an imposter at all, but thought that the people he brought were all fighting with the little devils in the battle in Maling Village......

I was surprised that Wang Changtian, an old guy, could think of this, but Zhang Ran didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said inscrutablely: "Since you have seen through it, then why do you still risk offending Ma Chengbang to help me?" ”

"Who made you the Eight Paths?"

Wang Changtian said with a bitter face, the meaning was obvious, he was not afraid of him Zhang Ran, he was afraid of the eight-way team behind Zhang Ran.

"That's the end of it!"

Zhang Ran slapped his thigh and laughed: "What if I'm the commander of the light pole?" What I Zhang Ran represents, not only myself, what I represent is the entire Eighth Route Army, he Ma Chengbang came to take revenge on you, that is, he is taking revenge on our entire Eighth Route Army team - Lao Tzu borrowed his Ma Chengbang a gut, and he didn't dare to hang him! ”

These words are called a bull's anger!

Wang Changtian also made up his mind because of this, and slapped his ass and scolded himself for being a salty old woman and worried about it - his own family has more than a dozen acres of land, and he is afraid that he will offend the Eighth Road and be communist, he Ma Chengbang's family has a big business, and he is not more afraid than himself, that is a strange thing!

After listening to Wang Changtian's muttering, Wang Wenhua and Wang Wenping smiled when they saw Zhang Ran, looking at Zhang Ran as if they were looking at the few extra pieces of land in their own house......

Although his family has more than a dozen acres of land, but the family is not enough to plant, and some of Ma Chengbang's land is rented.

Zhang Ran didn't care much about the little abacus in the hearts of Wang Changtian and his son, and was staring at the villagers who were holding guns as toys.

Although he said that even if he is now the commander of the light pole, he has the entire Eighth Route team to support him, and he is not afraid of him at all, but in the bottom of his heart, how can Zhang Ran not be worried?

Let these villagers play with guns, he just wants to find a few talented guys in it, so that he can give himself courage when the time comes.

Guns are such things, in fact, as long as everyone likes them.

So even if it was a gun, a group of villagers were playing extremely happily, and even many women rushed in to try it, and the children were chattering on the side, and the village was as lively as the New Year.

Most of the villagers could only clumsily hold the old sleeve and pretend to snap in people's mouths, but Zhang Laogui and Zhang Kai pulled the bolt of the gun, loaded and aimed, and did it well.

Especially Zhang Laogui, when he raised his gun to aim, although it was an empty gun, there was actually a bit of murderous taste in his eyes.

It is estimated that this has something to do with the fact that he has a shotgun at home and often hunts.

However, as soon as they heard Lu Yan open her throat and shout to start eating, everyone dispersed in a hurry, holding the bowl and looking at the pot with their eyes, just like a group of piglets who had been hungry for a few days and had not been fed.

Zhang Ran was no better, as soon as he heard that he was eating, saliva began to pop in his mouth, and his stomach began to growl.

"Brother Ran, for you!"

The rest of the people had to wait for the rice to be scooped one by one, but Lu Yan put a big porcelain bowl in advance and handed it to Zhang Ran.

The villagers laughed strangely, and Lu Yan blushed.

But soon, everything was drowned out by the sound of snoring and eating, and a large group of people squatted on the ground with Zhang Ran, holding the porcelain bowl and pulling it violently, their eyes opening and glancing into the pot from time to time.

Zhang Ran was able to eat, and lay on the courtyard dam and gasped.

Although he was panicked, the feeling that his stomach was completely filled made him feel extremely steady, and he never thought that he could eat so satisfying with brown rice and a certain amount of pickles.

Not only Zhang Ran, but everyone was overwhelmed, and they were all as shy as Zhang Ran, and they were all satisfied and happy without a face.

Looking at these people and thinking about himself, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh.

In that era a few decades later, everyone was chasing too many things, even himself—a car, a house, a political career, a position......

But all forget what the essence of life is.

If someone asks Zhang Ran this question now, he will definitely tell the other party loudly that the essence of life is - to eat well!

The consequences of such a full meal are also terrifying.

The five or six hundred catties of grain are at least forty or fifty catties gone!

That is, everyone has dried up almost a pound of grain - raw grain, cooked at least a pound and a half!

"Folks, everyone is full, right?"

After resting for a while, when everyone had put the rice into their stomachs, Zhang Ran said, striking the iron while it was hot, and when the villagers eased up, the effect would be much worse.

"I'm full!"

The villagers rubbed their stomachs and replied contentedly, and the little dog even stood up with a small basket-like belly that was buckled upside down on the belly and shouted: "I have never eaten so much in my life......

Everyone laughed and said that you are a little hairy man who is only a few years old, and you are a fart in this life!

"It's been a long time since I've eaten as much as I did today!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile, and then changed the conversation: "But just eating a full meal, that's not enough, no matter how full your stomach is, you will soon be hungry again - do you want to eat enough every day like today?" ”

"I want to, Wang Ba Lizi doesn't want to!"

The villagers screamed, and then began to sigh again, thinking that it was difficult to eat so much every day!

Even if Zhang Ran really reformed Ma Chengbang's life and divided the land to the villagers, so what?

There is no need to pay rent to Ma Chengbang, but the ones apportioned by Chairman Jiang still have to be paid in large quantities? At that time, I am afraid that it will be a little bit stronger than it is now......

"Hey, hey!"

Hearing the discussion of the villagers, Zhang Ran smiled and said loudly: "What you said was before, but now, it is different, now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating, the united front, in the base area of our Eighth Route Army, not only to fight local tyrants and divide the land, but even taxes, you only need to pay taxes to our Eighth Route Military Government, and you don't have to pay to Lao Jiang anymore...... As long as you support me Zhang Ran and let our Yanggou Village and the surrounding ten miles and eight townships become the base of our Jindong detachment, then you only need to pay taxes to our detachment! ”

The villagers began to roll their eyes and shouted: "Give it to you, and pay it to Lao Jiang, isn't the result still the same?" Then it's better to hand it over to Lao Jiang directly, we don't have to follow you to the adventure......"

"Of course it's different!"

Zhang Ran suppressed all his voices loudly: "If you don't support me, then you will not only have to pay the rent of the field to Ma Chengbang, but also have to pay taxes to Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang, you know that there are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but our Eighth Route Army, that is, the symbolic taxation, if you encounter a bad year, pay less or not pay it, it's okay - our Eighth Route Army is the people's army, and we are heart-to-heart with you......"

"The year is not good, you can pay less and not pay - Captain Zhang, what you said is true?"

Hearing this, the villagers' interest was immediately raised.

"Our Eighth Route Army is a team that stresses discipline and policy, and we will never coax our fathers and fellow villagers!"

Zhang Ran then shouted: "And the benefits are not only these, if the year is not good, you can pay less and not pay, if you encounter a famine year, our Eighth Route Army will also take out food and spend the difficulties with the fathers and villagers in the base area......

"That's a good feeling!"

"If that's the case, then our village will support you, Captain Zhang!"

As soon as these words entered their ears, the villagers immediately became lively and expressed their support for Zhang Ran.

"The enthusiasm of the villagers for our Eighth Route Army, I am deeply moved......

Zhang Ran smiled with satisfaction, and said in his heart that if he hadn't been doing mass work in poverty alleviation in the past few years, I am afraid that he would not have the ability to move these villagers so quickly!

"Then now, I announce that the Yanggou Village Detachment of our Eighth Route Army Jindong Base Area has been officially established, and everyone applauds......"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and continued in a sparse applause: "Now that the detachment has just been built, there are all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, and the next stage of work is to defeat Ma Chengbang, a big landlord, and return the land that his family has seized to ......the villagers."

As soon as these words came out, the sparse applause instantly turned into thunderous applause, and the villagers were so excited that they couldn't wait to applaud their hands and feet together!

"But everyone also knows that we came here this time and encountered an ambush by Japanese devils in Maling Village, and suffered heavy losses!"

Zhang Ran changed his words and said: "Now the whole detachment, only I Zhang Ran is left, my strength alone is very limited, and I still need the strong help of the villagers, now, as the head of the Jindong detachment of the Eighth Route Army, I am ready to recruit a group of soldiers in the village to assist me in overthrowing the big landlord Ma Chengbang, and I hope that the villagers can ......enthusiastically sign up."

The thunderous applause disappeared in an instant, and the pin drop in the field could be heard!
