The name of the chapter in the previous chapter is incorrect, not down, but middle, which has been corrected.
Thanks to the "legendary little people" for the tip.
――――――――――――――――
Although three small carts could not hold much, a bag of rice, a bag of salt and some clothes was enough for a family.
Li Keji could have prepared more things, but there were too few people, and he couldn't blatantly take out the supplies from the base, so in the end he had to prepare some oceans, although a hundred yuan for a family was not much, it was already a very heavy wealth for these farmers.
The villagers of Lijia Village no longer expected that the Red Army would bring them food and clothing, and finally got the 100 oceans, and they were so grateful that they didn't know what to say, so they could only keep saying that the Red Army was good with tears in their eyes.
After distributing all the items, the villagers immediately borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and boiled rice porridge from the rice given to them by Li Keji to entertain Li Keji and the others.
After eating, Li Keji originally wanted to go to Li Erniu's parents' house to have a look, but he couldn't help the villagers to follow him all the time, so he found an open space to have a family with them.
The life of the villagers was very monotonous, and the parents could not talk much about anything, so in the end, Li Keji told them stories about the Red Army's war and what the future of New China would become.
As for the future, these peasants have no idea at all, they just want to be fed, clothed, and have their own piece of land, so they don't have much expectation for Li Keji's new China, but they are very interested in the story of the Red Army's war.
Although Lu Wei is an old Red Army who has experienced the Long March, he didn't expect that he didn't know as many stories as Li Keji, as big as the fourth degree of Chishui, flying to capture the Luding Bridge, and as small as the stubborn Little Red Army, as if he had experienced it himself.
When telling stories, time always flies quickly, and after it gets late, no matter how enthusiastic the villagers are, they are embarrassed to continue to pester Li Keji, so they have to disperse one after another, and Li Keji can finally go to Li Erniu's parents' house to see.
When I came to Li Erniu's house, although the house was a little dilapidated, the hall, bedroom, kitchen, firewood room, etc. were still complete, and the scattered pieces of furniture were all for a certain year.
When he returned home, the second elder was busy greeting Li Keji, the godson who had just been harvested, pouring water and cooking.
Seeing that the second elder was busy, in the past, Li Keji must have been waiting for dinner, and he had been reformed with the Red Army for a long time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be idle all the time.
Li Keji wanted to help, the second elder thought to himself, how could he let these cheap servants, and wanted to push him to rest, but instead Li Keji pushed him out of the kitchen, and let Li Keji and the three occupy the kitchen, saying that he wanted to do filial piety for the second cow, how could he let the second old man work.
After dinner, Li Keji rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, clean the house, and finally chatted with the two old men for a long time and coaxed them to sleep.
After the second elder fell asleep, Lu Wei and Niu Gengsheng also rested one after another, leaving Li Keji alone to continue to be busy.
In the middle of the night, Li Keji was not busy with anything, but helped the Li family repair the dilapidated house, in order not to make too much movement, he was careful until it was almost dawn.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark and the whole village had not yet woken up, Li Keji sent a lot of civilian supplies from the portable base, although he had already given a bag of rice to every household during the day, but he could only solve his urgent needs, and if he wanted to improve their lives, he had to add more supplies.
After dawn, there was no wake-up number, Lu Wei and Niu Gengsheng still woke up at six o'clock, and as soon as they got up, they were called out of the room by Li Keji to help.
Lu Wei has long been accustomed to Li Keji's unwitting delivery of a large amount of supplies at night, but Niu Gengsheng was a little surprised, as a local personnel, he has not had time to see Li Keji's pre-battle "airdrop" ability.
Seeing the extra pile of materials outside the village, Niu Gengsheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence and say, "Mr. Li, where did these things come from?" ”
"Comrade Gengsheng, these materials were airdropped by overseas organizations last night, and because we want to avoid our eyes and ears, most of the time our overseas organizations take action at night." Li Keji explained simply.
Although Niu Gengsheng had heard of the mysterious overseas organization for a long time, it was the first time he had seen the power of the overseas organization, and although he didn't know how they did it, he still admired it very much.
After Niu Gengsheng recovered from his surprise, Li Keji asked the two of them to follow him to deliver the supplies from outside the village to the villagers' homes one by one using the small cart that pushed grain yesterday.
Although the villagers of Lijia Village did not have the usual wake-up number of soldiers, the habit of getting up early was still very good, and by the time Li Keji and the three of them sent the first truckload of supplies into the village, the whole village had almost woken up.
Erniu's parents didn't see Li Keji and the others after they got up, and they were trying to find someone to ask where they went, when they went out a short distance and saw Li Keji pushing the small cart full of grain yesterday to the Li family, and the small cart that had already been empty was full of many supplies.
Seeing the second elder go out, Li Keji shouted while pushing the cart forward: "Parents, why did you get up and don't sleep for a while." ”
Although Erniu's parents have accepted Li Keji, the titular godson, when they heard Li Keji's parents, they were still a little unable to adapt for the time being, and they should not be, and they didn't wait until Li Keji was close before asking: "Keji, what are you?" ”
Seeing that the second elder asked about the materials on the cart, Li Keji smiled and said: "Although I sent some food to the villagers yesterday, it can only solve the urgent need, and it will not be of much benefit to change the future life, so I asked most of the comrades to drop some supplies last night." ”
"Yesterday's stuff is enough, why are we embarrassed to ask for more things from the Red Army? Self-denial, we all know that the Red Army revolution is not easy, so let's keep these things for those dolls who are soldiers, we can't ask for them anymore. Although the second elder didn't know what the airdrop meant, he still understood that the cart sent by Li Keji was sent by the Red Army last night, and remembered that he had taken a lot of things yesterday, so he immediately refused to do so.
Seeing the second elder's resignation, Li Keji couldn't help but sigh, it was the first time he had seen someone who didn't want to take things for free, not to mention the time and space where he was, even now, which is known as the simple folk customs, many people are cheap and don't take advantage of the bastards, where is it still thinking about the Red Army when accepting things like the second elder.
After sighing with emotion, Li Keji said: "Parents, the current Red Army is not the Red Army of the past, we are now not short of guns or food, not only do we no longer need to collect food from the people, but we can also provide some assistance to poor families who lack food every year, you can take these things, don't worry about our Red Army." ”
"The Red Army is not short of guns or money?" In the memory of the second elder, the Red Army has always been poor, and it is really impossible to imagine that the Red Army lacks nothing.
"yes, there's nothing missing." After reaffirming, Li Keji pushed the small cart and sent the second elder home.
When I got home, I began to take everything down from the trolley one by one, mattresses, quilts, clothes, pants and shoes, rice, salt, oil and tea, fruits, vegetables and meat, pots and pans, these are daily necessities and food.
In addition, seeds, farm tools, poultry, and many other things that are self-reliant.
Seeing so many things, the second elder was so happy that he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh that he had a good son.
After unloading everything, Li Keji said goodbye to the second elder and said that there were other homes to send, so he pushed the empty car out of the door, and was caught up by the two old men after not taking two steps, and it turned out that they also had to come out to help carry it.
The two elders volunteered to help, and Li Keji did not refuse, don't look at the two old men who seem to be old, and they don't lose to the young people at all when they do physical work, if not, how dare Li Keji let them come out to work.
When Erniu's parents came out to help, other villagers also heard the news, so they went out of the village together, and in less than two hours, everything was delivered to each household.
Yesterday there was only rice and salt to make rice porridge, but today there are a lot of vegetables and pork, and after stewing together, the smell makes everyone salivate.
With such a simple dish, Li Keji would not look through the autumn water like other villagers, but he didn't pay much attention to food, as long as he could fill his stomach.
Yesterday was rice porridge all day, although it was not difficult to swallow, it was really not enough to supplement calories for him who is now high consumption, and he was embarrassed to open his own small stove when everyone else was drinking rice porridge, and he has been hungry until now.
So when he smelled the meat, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach growled.
Hearing the scream of Li Keji's stomach, the villagers of Lijia Village couldn't help laughing, but it was not a mockery, but a kind of kind and kind laughter, which contained a strong emotion.
Seeing the smiles of the villagers, although Li Keji blushed a little, he still laughed along, and said while laughing: "Uncles, aunts and uncles are smiling, I have been a big stomach since I was a child, and I grew up abroad, and I have no meat to eat every day." After joining the Red Army, although he changed a lot of this problem, he still couldn't help but growl when he smelled the meat. ”
"Child, I like to eat meat, I will eat more after a while, you have sent a lot of raw pork this time, if you don't eat it faster, I'm afraid it will rot." After Li Keji's parents finished speaking, Erniu's parents said with concern in a timely manner.
"If you can't finish it, you can make bacon, so it can be kept for a longer time." Although the meat provided by Li Keji is sealed with plastic wrap, the villagers of Lijia Village understand the role of plastic wrap, and they are afraid that it will tear if they don't pay attention, so Li Keji suggested that they can make bacon if they can't finish eating, which is the most traditional way to preserve meat in Chinese folk.
"Yes, yes, if you can't finish it, you can make bacon."
In the laughter, the meal was gradually ready, and after accompanying the old people to eat, Li Keji and Lu Wei had to say goodbye to them and return to the headquarters of the Ganxi Branch, leaving only Niu Gengsheng to deal with the aftermath.
