More than a dozen villages around Yanggou Village can be regarded as a new day of the sun and the moon.

Large-scale land reclamation is underway in the villages.

Because we are in a mountainous area, most of the fields suitable for reclamation have already been reclaimed, and now the newly cultivated fields are often a little open, and it is difficult to see any large fields, and it will undoubtedly take more time and hard work to cultivate in the future.

But the faces of all the villagers were full of happiness and satisfaction, and they had just been allocated their own fields, and there was still their own share of the newly opened fields, so everyone was enthusiastic.

From time to time, some villagers were digging and digging the ground, and suddenly they raised their heads and shouted: "Support the Eighth Route Army, long live Captain Zhang......"

If someone who doesn't know what the situation is passing by and hearing such a voice, they have to be scared to pee.

But the villagers who heard it just laughed heartily.

These days, there are often people like this, even including themselves - it's not that I'm nervous, but I'm really too happy and happy, so I can't help it.

The villagers not only can't help shouting slogans when they are nervous, but when the village branch organizes learning, everyone's slogans are even louder, and they are grateful to the Jindong detachment, Zhang Ran, and the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, any orders about Zhang Ran conveyed by the village chiefs were quickly implemented in the villages, such as the militia team, such as the women's brigade.

In addition to the usual farm work, the militia and women's brigades also practiced in the morning and evening, and patrolled in groups at night.

Although most of the militia and women's brigades did not have a shotgun, there were very few pikes, and most of them could only carry sharpened sticks, but the spirit they embodied was no different from that of the regular army.

Listening to the good news coming from all over the world every day, and watching the changes in this land and the villagers, Zhang Ran was also proud in his heart!

He knew that the enthusiasm of the masses to support the Eighth Route Army had been fully mobilized!

In the future, no matter what the situation is, the fathers and villagers in this land will unconditionally face it together with themselves, the detachment, and the Eighth Route Army, and they and their Jindong detachment will also stand firmly with the villagers, life and death!

Zhang Ran was very afraid of death and didn't want to fight, so when he met the devil in Maling Village, his first reaction was to run away.

But now, Zhang Ran knew that if the devil really came, he wouldn't run again!

He's tied up with everyone here!

When such a thought rose in his heart, Zhang Ran began to smile bitterly, saying in his heart that he was a fake Eighth Road, and he established the Jindong base area under the false decree of the Holy Decree to publicize the policy program of the Eighth Route Army, and originally wanted to deceive the villagers and let himself have a place to stand.

Well, now, although I have successfully deceived the villagers in these ten miles and eight towns, I have deceived myself and been trapped!

But he didn't regret it at all, and even felt happy in his heart!

The expansion and consolidation of the base area greatly increased Zhang Ran's confidence.

But he didn't have time to inspect the base area he developed single-handedly, but was trapped in Yanggou Village by a bunch of things.

The house of the headquarters of the detachment, which has been completed.

The earthen wall and tile roof, with a large courtyard, look particularly magnificent in Yanggou Village, which is full of thatched houses.

Outside the yard is a drill dam.

The low house next to the dam is naturally where the breeding pond is located.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was looking at the courtyard of the headquarters beautifully, and the envious voices of the villagers came to his ears, and he was full of emotion, saying that he had finally completely gotten rid of the identity of the proletariat, and he no longer had to continue to sleep in the pigsty to cushion straw, and he had his own room!

There are many houses in the branch, and Zhang Ran alone occupies two.

One sleeps, one works.

And the other house, in addition to the soldiers' dormitories and kitchen, also left an office for Wang Changtian and Lu Yan.

At present, Wang Changtian and Lu Yan play a pivotal role in the base area, not only to give various instructions to the village branches on behalf of Zhang Ran and publicize the policies and concepts of the Eighth Route Army, but also to give feedback to Zhang Ran about the situation in each village, so that Zhang Ran can make adjustments according to various situations at any time.

Now, Wang Changtian and Lu Yan have straight waists wherever they go, and the cadres are full of style, and they are not majestic.

On the contrary, Zhang Ran, the leader of the detachment, is wandering around in the farm and the mountains all day long, except for the people who know him in the village and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who respect him extraordinarily, people from other villages are often looking for Wang Changtian and Lu Yan, and their impression of Zhang Ran is not very deep, but they have admired the name for a long time.

"Hello Captain!"

As soon as Zhang Ran went out, two soldiers standing guard outside the headquarters stood up and saluted, and more than a dozen soldiers who were training led by Wang Lao and Zhang Kai also greeted Zhang Ran in unison.

Although the base areas were consolidated and the militia women's brigades in the villages were growing rapidly, the Eighth Route Soldier Corps still maintained the size of 23 people and did not immediately expand.

It's not that Zhang Ran doesn't want to, but he really can't afford it at the moment.

The money and grain sent by Ma Chengbang and other landlords were distributed to the village branches, and after the villagers beat the tooth sacrifice a few times, there was not much left.

The economic situation of the detachment began to be stretched thin again, and the standard of living of the soldiers returned to a state of eating with pickles once again.

Every time he saw the account book, looking at the dwindling grain and ocean on the account book, Zhang Ran couldn't help but pull his hair, and he couldn't wait to break every penny in half!

"Good work!"

Zhang Ran raised his hand slightly to greet the soldiers in return, and there was a kind of excitement in my heart that I Zhang Ran was also a person, and the distress of worrying about money and food was somewhat diluted.

Several large pits have been dug in the farm, and platforms have been built with adobe bricks to look like flower beds.

But obviously it can't be that Zhang Ran, who worries about money every day, doesn't have the leisure to plant flowers and enjoy flowers - it is an earthworm breeding pond.

The construction of earthworm breeding ponds is very simple.

Half-underground and half-ground breeding pond, the soil of the four walls is slightly tightened and the top is built with bricks to build the edge, and the soil with sufficient humus layer is placed in the pool, and then the earthworms dug up by Shi Mingyu and others are put in and covered with straw.

Usually throw some cow dung, rotten, leftover melon shell cores and the like, water a little water every once in a while, just keep the soil moist, there is no difficulty at all.

Wang Wenhua was shining eggs on the oil lamp for the first time in the hatching room according to Zhang Ran's instructions.

Eggs that hatch normally can be seen through the light perspective, and the radial blood vessels in the eggshell can be seen, and the bright colors will continue to prepare for hatching.

The other eggs are obviously no longer able to hatch, so they need to be picked.

"It's a pity, so many bad guys ......"

Wang Wenhua looked at the more than 100 eggs that were picked out with a pity on his face, and at the same time felt a little guilty, feeling that he had not done a good job to have so many bad eggs.

"It's none of your business, it's inevitable!"

Zhang Ran comforted, and said with a smile: "Moreover, these villains, it won't be wasted!" ”

These villains, commonly known as hairy eggs.

The hairy eggs that cannot be hatched at the homes of ordinary people are often used to feed pigs, because the smell is too big and they feel that they cannot be eaten.

But Zhang Ran knew that in addition to the kind of eggs that have rotted for too long, this kind of hairy eggs that have failed to hatch can actually be eaten, although because of the loss of nutrients in the process of incubation, but if it is eaten by the soldiers who are deficient in nutrition, the nutrition must be much better than that of wild vegetables and grains!

A group of soldiers cooked the shelled hairy eggs, pinched their noses and looked at Zhang Ran with bitter faces, seriously doubting whether this thing could be eaten.

Although he knew that these hairy eggs could be eaten, Zhang Ran never ate such strange things.

Therefore, Zhang Ran looked at the hairy egg in his hand, smelled the smell, and the pantothenic acid in his stomach couldn't stop.

But under the attention of all the soldiers, Zhang Ran had to raise his neck and eat it, resisting the urge to vomit and even boasting a few words of deliciousness.

But it didn't work, the eyes of the soldiers now looked at the hairy eggs in their hands as if there was arsenic there!

"Eat-Lao Gui, Wang Kai, Shi Yuan, you three take the lead!" Zhang Ran ordered.

"I'll forget it, I can't bear such a nutritious thing, I want to leave it for the puppy to eat and replenish his body...... Look how thin he is, poor one! ”

Wang Lao pointed to the little dog who was watching the excitement on the side, and looked like a good thing to give to the child's kindness.

The puppy ran away with a smack.

Lu Yan jumped on the side and said: "You old crutch, don't pit my brother, you should keep this good thing and make it up for yourself!" ”

"Lu Yan, I only gave it to the puppy for the sake of Captain Zhang's face-why did you bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know how to pinch good people?" Wang Lao said sadly.

"Phew, are you still good? I think you're a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and you're not kind! Lu Yan scolded.

The villagers laughed, and the women helped Lu Yan shout for Wang Laogui to eat.

"I'll eat!"

Shi Yuan, who had just been appointed as the squad leader for a few days, immediately began to earn performance, and swallowed the hairy egg with a tragic face of holding an explosive bag to blow up the bunker.

“……”

Wang Lao and Wang Kai looked at Shi Yuan stupidly, and then at Zhang Ran, who had a cloudy look in his eyes, and had to start eating the hairy eggs in three or two bites, and then yelled at the soldiers: "See, our Captain Zhang and we have all taken the lead in eating, you also eat, this is an order - don't vomit, if anyone dares to vomit, vomit it and give it back to me!" ”

The soldiers wailed, drank water after eating, and rushed the hairy eggs into their stomachs, for fear that they would really vomit!

Wang Lao and the others had already established their authority, so the soldiers knew that if they really vomited, they might really force themselves to eat the vomit back - the taste was much more disgusting just thinking about it than eating hairy eggs.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "There are more than 100 hairy eggs, eat one a day, you can eat for five or six days, and your body and bones can be a lot stronger!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was about to cry, and said in their hearts, Captain, can we not make up for our bodies?

The villagers looked at the expressions of the soldiers who wanted to cry without tears, and they leaned forward and fell back happily, and they were extremely happy.

"My name is Mao Zuan, from Kuiling Village, and the village chief asked me to come to Captain Zhang......

The thin man with low eyebrows came over and found Wang Changtiandao, who had Zhengle's back tooth sockets out.

"How many days have you been waiting for, why have you come?"

As soon as Zhang Ran heard that Mao Drill was coming, he immediately didn't care about the excitement, and beckoned Wang Laogui and others, and the eggshells that were eaten in the future should be put away and not thrown away, and they would be used in the future, so he went directly to his office with Mao Drill.
