1944 was an unusual year.

In Shaanxi, the Liuba area in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, Liuhou Township, Dayan Dam.

As a dam in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, although the conditions of the county are acceptable, the conditions in the countryside are indeed very difficult, subject to terrain, transportation and other factors, in the ten years after the liberation, the development is not great. Even the Liuhou Township, which has a beautiful legend of Liuhou, is doing relatively poorly.

Thanks to the Republic's policies, Liuba's education, medical care, and general livelihood social projects have basically done quite well, and the state-owned economy, which is dominated by the mountainous economy and the forestry economy, has also developed well, but most of the rural areas are still living in poverty.

The sin of the non-republic is really too bitter in the region.

On March 6th, the spring thunder shook and the earth rejuvenated, and the snow in Dayan Dam began to melt, but the villager Luo Wen'an's family was worried about a major event.

It's not bitterness, but hesitation left and right, and some can't make up their minds.

Luo Wen'an, who is nearly fifty people, caught the last train of the Southwest Era, although he has not read since he was a child, but when he was in his twenties, he was organized by the southwest political axe that took over Liuba and entered the 'non-full-time school', when he was slack, he read and read, and finally although he didn't learn much, he was no longer completely illiterate, and the educated teacher gave names to these 'students' in the class who had no regular names, and then registered them in the census file, and since then he has been called Luo Wen'an.

In the nearly thirty years since then, the honest Luo Wenan has not done anything earth-shattering, nor has he made any windfalls, and even every time he goes into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, it is just a decent harvest. But he can be regarded as having completed most people's life tasks, married a virtuous housekeeper, was also very filial to his father, and raised two sons, one joined the army to fight, and the other was about to take the high school exam.

The sky was getting dark, and the mother-in-law was busy on the stove, and in the cauldron was steamed wooden barrel rice, and bursts of rice fragrance wafted out with the water vapor from the cracks in the 'reeling lid'. In the small pot is a stir-fried dish, crackling, and that is because there is oil in the dish.

Sitting at the door of the stove room, Luo Wen'an took a sip of dry tobacco, and on the bamboo recliner next to him was his father Luo Shifang, who was seventy years younger, in very good health, and his wife had been dead for a few years.

Listening to the crackling sound in the pot, Luo Wenan went back to decades ago in a trance, at that time, there was no crackling sound in the pot for stir-frying, because there was almost no oil in the pot, and the stir-fry was always added with a little salt.

"Huh~"

The first cauliflower fried meat had already been fried, and he could hear that it was the mother-in-law who had washed the pot and poured oil again to fry the second dish. Stir-fried pork with cauliflower is the mother-in-law's favorite dish in winter, and it is also his favorite food. Fatty pork, stewed with cauliflower, that taste, dragon meat does not change.

"It's better now." A hint of emotion flashed in Luo Wen's head. "What if it could be better?"

"Da'er, tell me, what kind of 'thin' Zhongkui is there, do you have cauliflower and fried meat to eat?"

Although the old man is older, his body is not bad, the perennial farm work has not crushed him, and he is still a good cropper, and the biggest enjoyment is to lie on the recliner after tea and dinner, chatting with his eldest son, and pulling the life outside.

Today, however, there is something going on.

"Dad, it's not thin, it's in Siberia, Song Yan'er of the village committee said that the country established a Beihai province there, now called Beihai, what was the name of Lao Maozi Belga in the past."

Luo Wenan is not very educated, so he thought about it hard, and then remembered what he said when he went to find the village chief Song Gaoming at noon, this little boy who was still a classmate of his son. "It is estimated that there is no fried meat with cauliflower, but the eldest baby said in the letter that there is meat every day, beef and mutton, and the food is better than at home, and the canned food is sent to the hand one by one."

"Canned food is so expensive. The political axe has so much money, huh? Luo Shifang has no knowledge, and he has never been far away, the farthest place is to carry wood to the county seat to sell, but that was still decades ago, he also saw those cans in the grocery store in the village, the store in the town, the family can afford to buy it, but he never touches it, he is seriously ill, the second daughter carried two cans, and he left them to his two grandsons like a treasure.

"Dad, it's not ordinary canned food, canned fruit, canned meat, everything, Dawa said, the army eats and wears very well, and vegetables are also eaten, but the winter conditions are a little worse, you don't have to worry about him." Luo Wenan said.

"This thin... Forget it, Beihai, Beihai said smooth. Luo Shifang saw that the cigarette was burned, and immediately changed to a small piece of dry tobacco, "I hope the eldest baby can dodge the guns and shells, these days, the war must be fought, but it is still necessary to save his life, the second baby is still young, and the family is still counting on him."

A few days ago, I set up a dragon gate formation with them, saying that if you pour a scoop of water in this place, it can freeze, and you are now the head of the family, and you have to think carefully about this immigration matter. ”

Luo Shifang sighed, he knows the conditions at home, the eldest grandson joins the army, the second grandson is in high school, it is said that the conditions are not bad, the eldest grandson will send his salary back on time every month, that is a lot of money, the family farms for a few months, it is not as good as him for a month, the youngest grandson is very good at reading, high school grades are good, it is said that there is hope that at least what junior college will be examined, and if you are lucky, you can go to a technical school or other universities.

The two grandsons are his proudest, and he has always thought that in his life, he can see the two grandsons to glorify their ancestors.

"Our Luo family, the ancestral tomb is good, it has caught up with the good day, there is a good country, a good emperor. The two babies are competitive again, both civil and martial, and we are the number one in the village. The eldest grandson has insight, and I don't understand much about what he said, but I believe it, and now it's up to you to make your mind. ”

Luo Wenan frowned slightly, the old man was talking about the letter he received when he went to the bank to collect his son Luo Zhongkui's remittance a few days ago.

That letter made Luo Wenan lose sleep that night.

He put down the cigarette, extinguished the fire, wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, and then took the letter out of the inner purse of his coat.

"Dad:

See the letter.

I would like to report to my father a great piece of good news, after heroic fighting, our Wehrmacht Siberian Front has achieved a major victory, recovering the Belga region with an area of more than 1 million square kilometers, and capturing more than 500,000 Soviet devils.

In addition, the state decided to establish a Beihai province here.

Dad, you may soon know that the state is going to launch a large-scale resettlement plan, and anyone with little land at home and regional conditions can move to Beihai Province through this large-scale migration.

Dad, you didn't come here, you don't know how fertile the land is. It looks like there is snow everywhere, but as soon as the snow is turned over, there is fertile land below, and there is no end in sight.

Under this large-scale immigration policy, ordinary families of three or four can also get up to 20 acres of land at the beginning. Moreover, the political commissar also said that the state will divide more land in the future, and not more for the time being, because there is not enough agricultural machinery, large-scale planting cannot be carried out, and it is inefficient to rely on itself and hire Soviet people to plant, and it is easy to waste if there is too much land.

In addition to the division of the land, which was possible to hire Soviet people very cheaply to farm the land, there were ready-made houses.

Recently, the Second Company has been supervising the Soviets to build houses, and that house, you have never seen it, is the same as the houses in the county seat, which are called residential areas, and the houses are lined up, which not only saves land, but also can concentrate life.

Chairman Zhang took care of those of us who were soldiers and fought in the war, and gave us the first batch of opportunities, and the families of military personnel were given priority to immigrate, enjoy preferential treatment, and can also exchange more land of no more than 100 acres through war merit points, which you may not understand, but it is definitely a good thing.

I thought about it again and again, and asked the political commissar, and he said that although my family is not poor, the conditions are absolutely met, and I can be in the first batch of immigrants list, and when the time comes, in addition to being able to choose a house first, I can also choose land first, and the conditions are very good.

Dad, you must think seriously about this matter, the political commissar said, in the future, Beihai Province will develop greatly, farming is all mechanized, one person can do the work of ten people, the Soviets will also be hired laborers, and there are houses to live in, hundreds of thousands of Soviet devils are helping us build a big railway, and we will also build a large civilian airport, and in the future, there will be large military transport planes to provide immigrants with air tickets to return to the mainland at a low price for a long time...... Dad, finally I have good news for you, I was promoted to squad leader, and the political commissar told me to work hard, saying that I am educated, have a good mind, and perform well, and maybe I can become a bigger officer in the future......"

What the eldest son Zhongkui said in the letter was confirmed a few days later, first the radio was full of good news of victory, and the announcer's voice was excitedly out of shape, Luo Wenan knew that the big victory that his son said was true.

Every day, someone would ask him enviously about his son Luo Zhongkui.

When he heard Luo Wenan proudly say that when his son became the class leader, the envious looks of the villagers, he felt that it was worth it. Not to mention winning glory for the country, but also for the family, he thinks that this son is the most proud.

As for how big 1 million square kilometers is and how big the results of the battle are, he doesn't know, but he has only heard of tanks, planes, and artillery, and has seen it in the propaganda brochures of the township government, but he has no actual concept at all.

But he felt that his son's troops were able to capture hundreds of thousands of old Maozi, which was definitely very remarkable.

Then, his son's classmate, village chief Song Gaoming, announced a major news to everyone, saying that the state was going to organize large-scale immigration, and the Liuba area was among the first batch of candidate areas for resettlement because of the difficult conditions.

Both the village office and the township government =- government have posted big red notices, and special staff members are there every day to explain the immigration policy.

The benefits that Song Gaoming said are the same as what the eldest son said in the letter, the unimaginable land, the land of one family can be more than ten households, and there is a very good new house to live in, of course, it is colder, but I heard that the community will be collectively heated in the future. He didn't know what heating was, thinking it might be charcoal burning.

I have to say that Luo Wenan was tempted.

In this life, his two sons are his greatest pride.

His family is not poor, he honestly makes crops, occasionally sells some mountain goods and wild things to make money, plus the salary of his eldest son, the family also has small assets.

However, he Luo Wenan is uneducated, but it does not mean that he is not ambitious.

His biggest idea is to save more money for his two sons and improve the living conditions of the Luo family's descendants.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the mountains around him, a place that used to feel very kind, but now he feels a little stuffy.

He couldn't help but think of what his son described in his letter, the large farms in Siberia, the fertile land, and the crops that had been crops all his life, and his mind really moved...... Although as an honest farmer, as a farmer who is difficult to leave his homeland, he has his last hesitation and the caution of being the head of the family, but he still wants to make a decision.

And this decision, he subconsciously wants to get from others.

"Baby,, you take out the bacon, make two more dishes, and then go to Zhang San's daughter-in-law's shop to buy some wine, and I'll call Song Yan'er to come over and chat."

"Okay, it's getting dark, pay attention to other people's dogs, don't get bitten."

Luo Wenan got up suddenly, seemed to have made a big decision, shouted into the stove, and went out.

Ten minutes later, Luo Wenan and a young man in his twenties in 'southwest suit' walked into the small courtyard, the young man was also dressed as a peasant, very simple, but also had the taste of a grassroots village official, and also brought a canvas document bag.

"Third master, you see that I, a favorite of rice, am here again." Song Gaoming greeted the old man with a smile, he has a good relationship with Luo Zhongkui, and he has come to Luo's house to eat, the conditions in his home are much worse than those of the Luo family, mainly because the old man is not in good health, and he can't do farm work.

"So exquisite, you little cub, now the meal will be ready for Auntie immediately." The old man happily got up and greeted.

"The baby is here, sit down." Luo Wen'an's mother-in-law also greeted happily, she was quick with her hands and feet, and as soon as Song Gaoming came, she began to serve the food.

Luo Wen'an and the two masters accompanied Song Gaoming to drink for a while, and after eating the food, they began to enter the topic.

"What do you think? What do you think Zhong Kui said about this, Zhong Kui? Luo Wenan asked, and the mother-in-law and the old man also stared at Song Gaoming.

"Medium, why not, the country's affairs, there is no such thing." Song Gaoming drank a little wine, but his spirit was getting better and better, and when he talked about the country's policy, he talked endlessly, and he said many examples in a row, all of which could be seen and seen, and the Luo family nodded in unison.

"I think the key to this matter is, whether you dare to eat crabs, whether you dare to be the first to eat crabs, and whether you dare to leave your homeland. Also, Zhongkui supports, does Zhongming also support it? This matter is very important, in the final analysis, it is to go to another country. Song Gaoming said solemnly.

"Agreed, he came back from vacation two days ago, and said that as long as his grandfather is well, he can go." Luo Wenan said, "The third master's health is very good, and there will be no problems." Over there, the conditions are good, and when you go over, the houses, the medical stations in the settlements, medicines, and cotton clothes are all free, and the charcoal fire for heating does not cost money, and the state has taken it into account. ”

Song Gaoming gushed endlessly, "Those old Maozi are easy to use, they used to be collective farms, and they became the hired workers of our new farm in complete obedience, they helped us build houses, and also helped us take care of wheat, build water conservancy, and prepare for spring ploughing."

In the past, it will not be your family, the whole country is everywhere, especially Qinghai, Gansu, these poor points, the land is almost less, Henan, these people with more population, Mongolia, Shanxi, these close points, there will be many people to go. Some of them may be half a village.

This is not bragging, it is a high school classmate of mine, who now works in Hanjing, and he wrote to tell me. ”

"So many people are going? What should I do when the land is divided? Is the house enough? Luo Wenan said worriedly.

"Of course, uncle, you don't know how big that place is, the land and the house must be enough. Also, there are many people who want to emigrate now. What is the most practical thing for us Chinese? Something to make a fortune that everyone wants to do. Think about it, what are the two acres of land in your house now? Go there, it's twenty acres of land, and you can still ask the Soviets to plant.

Moreover, when Zhongkui exchanges his battle points for land, it is natural that your family will have more than 100 acres of land. Song Gaoming said enviously, "My father is not in good health, otherwise I would have to be the first to go." In a few years, if his old man leaves, I will take my mother-in-law and baby with me. Anyway, there are schools over there, and there will be 30 years of comprehensive preferential policies, including education.

I am very envious of Zhongkui, if I hadn't failed the physical examination and had fainting, I would have gone to the army with him back then, hey, compared to others, I didn't have a good life. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Uncle, of course I think that the affairs of China and the country have never been affected."

“……”

When Luo Wenan heard this, he drank in a sullen voice, and the old man next to him didn't speak, Luo Wen'an's mother-in-law was full of thoughts, for her, what kind of homeland is difficult to leave this thing does not exist at all, although her mother's family still has relatives, but it is not very close, her mind is all concerned about the ten acres of land.

"Let's not talk about a hundred acres of land, this is twenty acres of land, and I don't dare to think about it." Luo Wen'an's mother-in-law sighed, she suffered from being uneducated, but she knew that it was a lot of land.

"Auntie, twenty acres of land is more than 12,000 square meters, more than 100 meters long, more than 100 meters wide, or rather, thirty or forty long and dozens of zhang wide, from this gate, all the way to the east banyan tree." Song Gaoming described it simply.

He knew that ten acres of land, if it was the school's farm, it didn't seem like much, but if these areas were all land, it would be very scary.

"If it's a hundred acres ......"

Luo Wenan didn't dare to think about it, if there were 100 acres...... "If there are 100 acres, it is more than 60,000 square meters, two or three hundred zhang long and wide, and most of the land of our village." ”

Song Gaoming said with emotion that Dayan Dam is mountainous, the cultivated land is small and scattered, and the overall total area is also very small.

"Come, come, keep drinking, I'll think about it again, and when the time comes, I'll be the first to sign up for you."

Luo Wen had already made a decision in Anxin, and this decision was not so much given by Song Gaoming, but rather what he was looking forward to.

Song Gaoming: "Okay, uncle, I won't talk much about this, so as not to blame me if there is a problem in the future." I'll just say, you have to go early, and everything is good to be early. ”

"Okay, yes."

…… Early the next morning, not long after the rooster crowed, there was a figure wandering around Song Gaoming's house not far away, and then the dog also barked, and Song Gaoming, who had just woken up from the hangover, was then alarmed by the knock on the door, got out of bed with his clothes on, pushed open the courtyard door, and saw Luo Wen'an standing there with a smile on his face with a flashlight.

"Baby, hehe...... I'm sorry to bother you, uncle, uncle wants to sign up early......"

A month later, the first batch of immigrants from all over the country were transported quickly to Kulen through relatively convenient transportation.

Because there is no fighting ahead, although the train to Beihai Province is only halfway built, the train can still run halfway.

Luo Wenan rushed to Kulen with his nearly seventy-year-old man and mother-in-law, and his second son stayed in the mainland to wait for the next college entrance examination.

When Luo Wenan saw the immigrants in front of him who were completely distributed in oversized tents, and when he saw the more than 100,000 families with their families, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was the first to sign up, and he could also set off and choose the earliest.

At this moment, as an honest farmer, he thoroughly understood how attractive a large amount of land, ready-made houses, and a good future are for a farmer.

Life in the temporary settlement area lasted only two or three days, and then Luo Wenan was gathered with his family, and a deputy secretary of the immigration committee wanted to address the people who were about to board the bus.

In the face of the thousands of people in front and the more than 100,000 people in the temporary settlement areas of the rear, the voice of the deputy secretary was full of excitement and emotion as never before.

"Fellow villagers, compatriots, I am very happy to be able to serve you and give you a ride on the road to prosperity and fortune.

As the forerunners of the Great Migration Program, you are the pioneers of Beihai Province, the role models of the nation, and you are the first batch of people who dare to eat crabs.

The land of the country is limited, and the living space of the nation is limited, what should we do?

The chairman told us what the Soviets were best at? What they are best at is snatching what they lack from others.

They have succeeded in robbing the North Sea, they have robbed the Far East, they have robbed millions of square kilometers of land. Through continuous plunder, they have expanded their land area dozens of times.

And today, we want to treat others the way they do.

We don't have land, but the North Sea does.

We don't have room to live, but the North Sea does.

We don't have wealth, but the North Sea does.

It's a long way to Beihai, but you are not lonely, the millions of national defense troops are your loyal patron saints, the Simon Railway, which will be opened to traffic on the whole line, is the guarantee for you to go home, and the 600 million Chinese sons and daughters are your eternal compatriots.

Don't you think that Beihai is a foreign country, the chairman told us, hometown, what is hometown?

The land that can let our sons and daughters spread out and spread their leaves, can make us Chinese live with our heads held high and grow stronger, and can allow us to live peacefully and happily without suffering from enemy fire and abuse by others, is our hometown.

Hometown is in our hearts, hometown is also at our feet, Su Wu also used to herd sheep in Beihai, we have a big immigration plan of 10 million people, there may be more people to immigrate in the future, and there is a strong guarantee from the state, what are you afraid of?

The North Sea is not a foreign country, it is our own sacrosanct territory.

…… Although the country is getting richer, although the gross national product is constantly improving, but money and wealth will not fall from the sky, here, I wish you all to live and work in peace and contentment in the new land, dig out the golden doll in the ground, and achieve prosperity and prosperity as soon as possible!

I will always believe in what the chairman said, that is: The sons and daughters of China have power!!

Now, I announce that the first phase of the first batch of the Great Migration Program has been launched.

Boarding!!! ”

In the sound of the train's long whistle, Luo Wen'an boarded the Simon Railway train with full enthusiasm and infinite longing for a new life.

A few days later, they stopped just past Kyakhta.

In this former Soviet Union, which had just been renamed 'Minxing County', the first batch of immigrants got off the bus.

From the train windows, the migrants could already see the continuous fields of farmland, which were still covered in snow, but in some places they had revealed the wheat green underneath.

When the staff told everyone that this Minxing County would be everyone's new home in the future, everyone was boiling.

After getting off the train, Luo Wenan jumped out of the car, stepped on the ground vigorously, and shouted loudly to the old man and daughter-in-law, "There is nothing strange about the land here, it is all down-to-earth." ”

The migrants then boarded a convoy of army trucks and drove in less than twenty minutes to reach the first large migrant settlement.

Next to the Chinese village is a Soviet's village.

The Soviets' houses were old, relatively old, and everyone was asked to line up at the entrance of the village, and as they watched with mixed eyes, the Chinese immigrants arrived in trucks to the new village.

In the village, the new houses built by the industrious Soviets for meager wages and collective food were built.

The eyes of the Soviets were complicated, however, the Chinese and the Su Destroyer told them at this time!

A Su Jan pointed at the Chinese and repeated in Chinese and Russian, "They are the real masters of this land in the future." Whoever opposes them, who does not obey these new farmers, will endure hunger and cold, and the worst of all, will be expelled to the north, and you will be returned to the bosom of the Bolsheviks. Of course, the most serious ones will be shot on the spot. ”

With Su Jian's signal, all the Soviets saw that the [***] people in the team next to them lifted the rifle in their hands, neatly pulled the insurance, and couldn't help but shrink their hearts sharply, for fear of angering the Chinese.

In the past few months, they have found that the Chinese are not difficult to serve, as long as they work hard, at least better than in the Soviet collective farms, they have food and clothing, medical care is guaranteed, there is no problem with going to school, and they can get jobs.

Everyone, even the old ones, who once claimed to be followers of the Bolsheviks, recognized a very real problem.

"The era of the Soviet Union is over, and in the future, it will be the era of the Chinese."

But what does it matter?

Life still has to go on, as long as it is not driven to a dead end, no one wants to collide with a bayonet machine gun with a hoe and sickle.

From this day, China's great immigration plan was fully launched, and since then, the road of the great homeland of the Chinese has lasted for decades!!

(To be continued)
