Although the road was not easy to walk in the past, there was no trace of the devils, except for some bandits and security groups along the way, the walk was quite smooth.

In the lunar month, when there were about ten days to go before the New Year, the group finally arrived safely at the base behind the enemy.

The conditions here are incomparable with the living conditions of the family all the time, and they are not even comparable to the shantytown where Qian Dai lived in Shanghai.

The houses where everyone lives are actually built on the mountain, with layers of earthen caves.

Li Shijie's family of four was warmly welcomed by the comrades as soon as they arrived at the base area, and the five comrades who escorted them, after handing them over to the comrades who received their own family, did not even have time to drink a sip of water, so they hurriedly said goodbye to them and went to restore their lives to the leaders.

Li Shijie and Qian Dai carried a salute, and at the end of the day they pulled Wei Jiabao, and the group of four followed the enthusiastic comrades to their foothold.

The comrade who received them, surnamed Jiang Mingshan, is an old party member, and I heard that he also participated in the Long March.

This old party member is dressed very plainly, with gray-blue military uniforms with patches stacked on top of each other, and he is also very thin, and his face looks like a vegetable and he looks malnourished, but his eyes are bright and his mental state is also very good.

They were led by this Jiang official to the halfway point of the mountain, pointed to an earthen cave among the five caves side by side, and smiled and spoke enthusiastically to Li Shijie.

"Comrade Li, look at it, this is the home assigned to you by the organization, we received the news, I heard that Comrade Li is coming to support the base area, and our comrades have helped you clean up the house a long time ago.

It's really not that this Jiang official is exaggerating, and being able to paste new window paper on Li Shijie's cave not only wastes the strength of their old noses, but also makes them very proud.

You know, it's not easy to give this snow-white window paper to the windows of this cave!

I still heard that this Comrade Li was specially mobilized by Zhou Gong to develop to the base area to teach medical skills to the base area to treat the sick and save people, and they were reluctant to put together this piece of window paper!

Just this window paper, it has to be reserved for these scarce talents, like them, the cracks in the doors and windows, and plugging them with some corn stalks are already excellent!

At present, the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area has been completely blocked by the damn Japanese devils, everything is scarce and expensive, they even need to eat salt, and a big pot of wild vegetable soup is only willing to put a drop of salt, not to mention this window paper?

It is not without those noble people who came to the base area, and when some individuals came, they did not expect that the base area could be like this, so they also heard a lot of gossip.

If Comrade Li was brought to settle today, Secretary Jiang subconsciously mentioned the window paper, hoping that Comrade Li was a reasonable person, and he also wanted this new comrade to know that in fact, everyone had done their best.

Before deciding to come, Zhu Guo and the two comrades mentioned that the base areas behind enemy lines were very hard, and although Li Shijie's family was prepared, they did not expect it to be so difficult.

After following Officer Jiang into the cave, Li Shijie looked at the empty cave, and saw that there was nothing else in the cave except for a big kang near the window and the black hole and stove with the big kang connected.

It is estimated that Secretary Jiang on the side saw the eyes of Li Shijie's family of four, and he was also a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile.

"Comrade Li, everyone in our base area has to participate in the work, and eat in the army's canteen, so there is no need to cook in the house except for burning the kang when it is cold, of course, if Comrade Li, you have to fire yourself, but you have to pay subsidies out of your own pocket, and the utensils need to be bought in the grass market, but I have to remind you in advance, we lack everything here, firewood and grass must be burned in saving, otherwise people can't stand the cold, and our army has regulations, the people in our team, It is not allowed to take a stitch from the common people. ”

The more Li Shijie's family listened, the more headaches they had, and they even lacked firewood and grass...... Is there anything else that is not missing? No wonder the house is surrounded by walls!

However, since he came, Li Shijie did not come to enjoy the blessings, and he was ready to dedicate himself to the revolution and his ideals before he came, so Secretary Jiang's words did not scare him away, not to mention that he still has a backup bank of his daughter, these are all small problems, but in addition to these small problems, there is a big problem at the moment.

Li Shijie hurriedly put the salute in his hand on the kang, and asked Officer Jiang with a gentle smile, "This comrade, we can all overcome patience in these situations you mentioned, the only thing is that the daughters you see are all teenagers, and they can get married in less than two years, so it's not good to let her sleep on the kang with us big men, right?" I wonder if you can arrange another room for this child to sleep in?"

"This?" Officer Jiang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but looking at Li Shijie's earnest face, Secretary Jiang said with a bitter face, "That's the case, Comrade Li, our base is limited, and the caves are full, if we don't receive a telegram from Zhou Gong in advance, we won't even be able to empty this cave right now." At present, our manpower and material resources are concentrated together, and everyone is busy spinning and weaving, so as to make a few more cotton clothes and a few more pairs of soles for the soldiers on the front line, and there is really no time to dig caves!"

The more Li Shijie listened, the more anxious he became, how could this be? Why can't you even squeeze out a place for a child to sleep? How can this be born?

When Officer Jiang saw Li Shijie's face, he was also scared in his heart, and he immediately frightened this Comrade Li, in case this Comrade Li ran away because of these small problems, wouldn't they have to lose a good doctor?

Therefore, Secretary Jiang immediately changed his words, and he came up with an idea: "Comrade Li, if you don't look at this, the weather is cold now, let's take the time and let the children go first, either you can draw a straw curtain in the house to block it, or I will arrange this girl to go to the logistics department to live with those female soldiers, do you think this will work?"

What else can I do if it doesn't work? I can't let my daughter sleep in the wilderness! Li Shijie's heart was a little sour.

It was still Qian Dai who was putting his luggage next to him, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he hurriedly turned to look at Secretary Jiang and asked him.

"This Director Jiang, just now you said that everyone has to engage in production, so even if there are fewer caves, there is no manpower and material resources to dig at the moment? So can we dig it ourselves? If we dig two caves ourselves, can we live on our own?"
