Chapter 63: Ox Bold and Five Acre of Land 3

86_86695 "Bold, where are you going." Niu Laohan saw his son, who had just helped him do a morning of work at home, and before noon, he picked up the shuttle dart issued by the militia and wanted to leave home. He hurriedly asked him.

Niu Laohan has been dissatisfied with Niu Daring for several days. Since the formation of the "Baotian Militia" in Guihuashu Village, Niu Daring was the first to join the team. To his father, who disagreed with him, he replied with the propaganda of the working group, "Do it yourself and defend the fruits of victory." ”

Niu Lao Han is not really intellectually problematic, the reason why he is called Lao Han. It's just that he is softer in temperament. He also knew that although the people of the working group were carrying guns and crossbows, they looked very majestic. However, other people's food and drink were all brought by themselves, and they did not touch a finger of anything. They are indeed good people towards the poor.

As for what the Working Group said, the fruits of their own victories should be defended by themselves. Niu Laohan also agrees with it in his heart. But the word "soldier" when the militia still makes Niu Laohan feel unreliable. Because, the common people know that in today's Ming Dynasty, the worst people are not the tenant slaves of the landlord's family. It is those farmers who are in danger of life and death.

These "soldiers" in the legal sense of the Ming Dynasty not only had to do the hard work of tenant farmers, but also occasionally encountered bandits and bandits, and they would be forced to take tattered weapons that would break at the touch of a beating, and drive them to be cannon fodder for the families of the officers of the guards.

He knew that his son was a bit of a stupid and bold two-pole character. Although it is a militia, even if, as the working group says, it is only to protect the safety of the village. But he still felt that it was a very dangerous business. He knew that his son Niu was bold and a mallet who liked to stand out when he encountered trouble. If he really encountered the bandits and grass bandits coming to harass the village, he would not have to rush to the front to die.

"Why did you go out again, do you want me to plant the ten acres of land at home alone?" Niu Laohan asked his son in a rough voice.

Niu Daring has been following the working group for half a month. He already knew that by joining the militia, he could read and learn to write, just like the gentlemen of those working groups. He had always felt that there was something in the gentlemen that attracted him. He felt that if he could read and learn words with them, he might be as great as them.

What's more, being a militiaman, every day is just one afternoon of training. The militia is in charge of food again. For two meals at noon and in the evening, you can eat enough rice and white noodles, and you can also eat a delicious meat (ham sausage luncheon meat and the like) and two boiled eggs. This kind of day is something that Niu Daring never dared to imagine.

In particular, the militia also distributed gray-black "uniforms" free of charge. Although the livery is a strange style with two parts at the top and bottom and a button in the middle. But wearing a new shirt and pants and high boots, Niu boldly felt a special spirit.

Yesterday, Mr. Feng said that the captain of the militia team in this village was selected from among the descendants who joined the militia. As long as you win the first place in the competition, you can be the leader of more than 30 young people in the village. On the shoulder, like Mr. Feng, you can wear a majestic "two bars". Niu Daring is determined to achieve this.

Niu Daring also noticed that his father had a grudge against him recently. He's been pretending not to see for the past few days. Today, Daddy officially mentioned it, and he couldn't avoid it. He is not ready to be angry and not speak as soon as he has a conflict with his father like before. He is going to use the knowledge he has learned from the study class in the past half a month to reason with his father.

Niu Daring put down the shuttle dart first, walked to Niu Laohan's side, and pulled Niu Laohan next to a "sandbox". It's something that every militia family has. It is a school item distributed to the militia along with the three-meter-long standard pike.

He picked up the bamboo and wrote the word "father" on the sandbox. Although Niu Laohan knew his son, he had to write and draw on that sandbox every day. But seeing such a clear and clear handwriting, even Niu Laohan, who had never been stained with ink, knew that this was writing, the most sacred thing in the world.

My son who can't understand bullshit can actually write. This incident brought a great surprise to Niu Laohan.

"Dad, these two words are 'father', which means dad. My son has been in the militia for half a month, and in addition to training every day, he has to read and learn words with the gentlemen at night. I also know that my father is not satisfied with my work for only half a day every day. However, all my meals at the end of the day are eaten in the team. Every day, I saved one person's food ration for my family. The team also gave us a monthly salary of five cents. The people in the working group don't ask for anything else, as long as we can be strong and strong, learn literature and martial arts. After that, if someone dares to snatch and bully us, we also have the power to protect ourselves. Why don't I do such a thing? ”

Niu Laohan suddenly discovered that his son, who could read and write, was completely different from the past. In the past, the cow was bold, and like himself, he was very clumsy. Both of them are the kind of people who can't understand anything for a long time. Today's Niu is bold and clear-mouthed, and he doesn't know how to refute him.

Niu Laohan was like seeing his son for the first time, and he carefully observed Niu boldly for the first time. After half a month of adequate diet and scientific training, today's Niu Daring seems to have completely changed a person. His face was still dark, but it was round and rosy. As soon as he walked and sit, he obviously had the shadow of the descendants of the working group, and they all looked firm and clear. In particular, he began to pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene like a city man. He was still in tatters, but he was very clean.

Niu Laohan looked at his refreshed and tall son, and looked at himself with a pair of eyes that had never been seen before. His opposition to his son's entry into the militia began to waver. However, in his mind, the concept of the land first of the croppers is still playing a tenacious role.

He boldly said to the cow, "The farmer (a very stupid person in the Jingzhou dialect), the cropper is the farmer, and if you don't plant your own field, what's the use of keeping the field." ”

When Niu Daring heard this, he immediately understood his father's worries. He said to his father, "Dad, you can plant the ten acres of paddy fields in the family alone." In the past, when you worked for Niu Laocai's family, you planted more than ten acres of land alone. Besides, it's not like I don't help you at all, I get up early in the morning and don't leave until noon. The land at home will never be planted badly. ”

Niu boldly saw what his father was going to say, and he hurriedly continued, "Mr. Feng from the working group said it. Families who have joined the militia can get one cow for every three families. There is also any fertile field flour that can help the crops grow more, and it will also be sent down. Didn't Dad always want a cow? ”

The cow is the treasure of the croppers, and when he heard this, the cow was speechless. After a while, he spoke, "You have a pretending to be crazy (you are talking nonsense in Jingzhou dialect), cattle are such precious things, and people will use them for you." However, he only muttered a few words. Niu Laohan knows the style of the working group, and they never talk big. As long as they say it, they will definitely deliver it.

Seeing his father leave with a hoe, Niu boldly knew that his father had only now agreed to the matter of being a militiaman. He couldn't help but feel more confident in his heart.

He hadn't made it clear to Niu Laohan that the working group was talking about more than just cattle and fertilizer. He didn't even mention the high-yielding seeds and new farming tools to his father. To be honest, he didn't believe in these things either. If it is really as good as the gentlemen say, then Master Wang is really a living bodhisattva of the croppers.

――Partitioning――

Forming a militia contingent is an important task in the "Rural Work Work Manual." The Handbook clearly states that "once the land distribution has been completed, every place has been completed. As soon as conditions permit, the construction of the militia must be carried out immediately. Militia building is one of the important means of winning over and absorbing young and strong people. ”

Although Feng Xinmin, like other instructors who were sent to various places, was the first time to lead the team to go out and work independently. But he knew that what was said in the "Work Manual" must be carried out unwaveringly like a holy decree. What's more, the recent work results have made Feng Xinmin discover that the "Work Manual" is simply a magic weapon, and the terms, contents and methods that are said and written in it are almost certain to be true.

The work on the construction of the ranks of the militia is not very difficult. After the completion of the work of dividing the land, the trust of the villagers in the working group was unprecedented. Although there are general doubts about being a civilian "soldier". However, those young offspring have long been tempted by the uniform clothing, dazzling weapons and hearty diet of the working group. What's more, the barracks of the militia team are the original home of Niu Laicai. Niu Laocai lives in the most spacious "mansion" in the village.

The selection of the militia is also quite rigorous. There are more than 80 young people in the village, and only about 30 people are selected. Such a situation makes the matter of being a militia even more glorious and glorious.

Although it is inevitable that you will be beaten because you can't figure out the left and right and can't understand the password. However, the clean and spiritual uniforms and the long wooden poles with pikes with shiny spear heads, plus the treatment of eating eggs every day and polishing rice and noodles as you like. They generally feel that cross-country running, queue training, gun fighting, physical training (sit-ups, push-ups, etc.) are not so unbearable.

In Niu Daying's words, "Except for the fact that the black house is unbearable, the rest is easier than working in Niu Laocai's house." ”

This afternoon's selection of captains went smoothly. Although the militia members who participated in the selection fought bravely to take the lead. However, because of his physical advantages, Niu Daring is still ahead of other competitors in cross-country running, spurring and personal physical fitness. He was easily elected as the militia captain of Osmanthus Tree Village.

In the cultural competition, he took the lead in writing 50 words correctly and counting 100 numbers clearly, and was elected as the instructor of the militia team of Osmanthus Village. This result was particularly unexpected
