Chapter 802: Thanksgiving! (Second Update!) )
In order to be able to become the Eighth Route Army, the second Huang Yong would stay at the recruitment office of the first battalion for an hour every day, and then bring home the news of the victory of the Eighth Route Army, and tell his father where the Eighth Route Army won the battle, and he will definitely stay here in the future to protect everyone and not leave.
After the good news that the new regiment had won the battle outside again and again was brought home by Huang Yong, the deputy's opposition was finally much quieter.
"Father, mother, there has just been an announcement from the recruiting place, didn't our family be robbed of 300 catties of grain by the devil last time, and now the Eighth Route Army has decided to use the food they snatched back from the devil to supplement us, let us go and get the food now!" Huang Yong shouted excitedly as soon as he got home today.
"Impossible!" This was my father's first thought.
The food has been snatched away by the devils, and the Eighth Route Army does not distribute food casually, and even its own military food is not enough, how can there be food compensation for everyone.
Although the Eighth Route Army promised everyone at that time to ensure the safety of everyone's food, and the Eighth Route Army would return as much as the devil stole it, not many people took it seriously.
After all, the devil has snatched a lot of food from everyone in the past two years, and the amount is even more than this year, and everyone is used to it.
Seeing that his father didn't believe it, Huang Yong continued: "Really, the announcement was read to me by an officer from the recruitment department, and I didn't hear a word wrong!" ”
"And when I came back, I had already seen people going to collect food......
As soon as he finished speaking, a very lively noise sounded outside the door.
At the entrance of the village not far away, several familiar villagers, each carrying a grain bag on their shoulders.
"See? It was Lao Zhang's family, and their family was also robbed of nearly 300 catties of grain, and even if there were no 300 catties of grain back, it was not much worse! Huang Yong replied in the affirmative.
"Let's go, let's go to the entrance of the village now!" The father finally couldn't sit still and immediately made a decision.
When he walked to the door, he turned his head and shouted to the inside of the house: "The eldest child, the third child, and the second child, you all come with me." We also have 300 catties of grain! ”
At the recruitment office of the Eighth Route Army, when a few people arrived, there was already a long queue there!
It didn't take long for it to fall to Huang Yong's family.
"Huang Zhongcheng, you were apportioned 300 catties of grain by the devils. Because you are tenants and do not have your own land, according to the public grain policy of our Eighth Route Army, there is no need to apportionment of public grain. Therefore, 300 catties of grain, all of which will be compensated to you! A cadre of the Eighth Route Army standing behind the desk said with a smile.
Then he took a receipt and handed it to Huang Zhongcheng: "This is a receipt, you can collect it, you can go to the side to receive three hundred catties of grain now!" ”
"Thank you Eighth Route Army, thank you, comrade!" Huang Zhongcheng knelt down for the Eighth Route Army and replied excitedly.
Because they are tenants, this year's harvest of the family is only 600 catties of grain.
There are six people in the family, and each person can only get 100 catties of grain, and even if they save money, they will not be able to maintain the next autumn harvest. Huang Zhongcheng is ready to eat wild vegetables for half a year as his family, or go to the city to work as a coolie to earn rations.
But even so, the devil snatched 300 catties of grain from them.
The whole family of six eats 300 catties of grain in a year, and no matter how much they save, it is not enough. Therefore, since the grain was snatched away by the devil, Huang Zhongcheng has never laughed, frowning every day and thinking about how to let his family survive the next year without starving to death!
Now, with the 300 catties of grain compensated to him by the Eighth Route Army, Huang Zhongcheng suddenly saw hope, the hope of letting his family live.
Especially at the moment when he saw the three hundred catties of grain, Huang Zhongcheng's gratitude to the Eighth Route Army was absolutely from the heart.
Because these 300 catties of food are likely to be life-saving food that will keep the family from starving to death at a critical moment.
And at this moment, a very bold idea popped up in Huang Zhongcheng's mind, sending his second son to the Eighth Route Army to fight devils and repay his kindness!
Just when more and more people gathered in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, and the people in the village almost poured out, a cadre of the Eighth Route Army suddenly jumped on the table in front of everyone, and then told everyone a good news that made all the tenants cry with joy.
The more than 500 acres of fertile land confiscated from the traitors in the village were all distributed to the landless tenants in the village free of charge.
Not only that, the Eighth Route Army plans to reclaim nearly 3,000 acres of wasteland and slope land around the village, reclaim them into fertile land, and then distribute them to everyone for free, ensuring that every young man in the village has five acres of land!
"Comrade, those lands really don't need money, give them to us for free!" A tenant stared at the Eighth Route Army in front of him with a pair of disbelieving eyes and asked.
"Don't need money, our Eighth Route Army counts what it says, a total of more than 560 acres of fertile land, all of which will be divided!"
"There is land, our Zhang family finally has land!" The middle-aged man who spoke just now knelt directly in front of the Eighth Route Army, and cried because he was too happy.
On the threshing floor, many landless tenants had the same expression, and they were grateful to the Eighth Route Army.
Huang Zhongcheng was the same, after being pulled up by the Eighth Route Army next to him, he immediately asked a question that he wanted to ask just now but was embarrassed to ask.
"Comrade, you just said that in two days, you will organize everyone to reclaim the surrounding wasteland and slope land, reclaim one acre of land and give ten catties of grain compensation, and when the time comes, these lands will also be distributed to everyone free of charge!"
"Not bad!" The cadres of the Eighth Route Army affirmed.
"Not only is there a compensation of ten catties of grain for each acre of land, in order to encourage everyone to reclaim more land, for every acre of land reclamation is completed, you can also receive five white-flour steamed buns from our hands, so that everyone can have the energy to open up the wasteland!"
"I'll sign up now!" Huang Zhongcheng said without thinking about it.
Although he is a farmer, his brain is not confused, and he has a total of four strong laborers in his family, and he works overtime to work hard, and there is definitely no problem in cultivating two acres of land a day.
The Eighth Route Army of the village just said that there are more than 3,000 acres of wasteland around the village that can be reclaimed.
As long as the speed is fast, the reclamation speed of your own home will definitely be faster than others. If such a good thing can last for a month, then the whole family can reclaim 60 acres of land, that is, 600 catties of grain and 300 white-flour steamed buns that are usually reluctant to eat during the New Year.
With the white-flour steamed buns given by the Eighth Route Army, at least 100 catties of the family's rations can be left in a month, which means that the family can net 700 catties of grain.
At that time, the whole family does not need to eat wild vegetables, and only eating grain can last until the autumn harvest of the next year.
The cadres of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side did not know Huang Zhongcheng's complicated thoughts at this moment, and directly explained: "There is no need to sign up, in the morning of two days, everyone just needs to bring tools but concentrate here, and someone will arrange where everyone will go to reclaim the land!" ”
"As long as everyone reclaims one acre of land and gets the receipt issued by our soldiers, you can receive ten catties of grain and five steamed buns here!"
When he returned home, Huang Zhongcheng made a decision in front of all his family members: "Second brother, I have decided to agree with you to join the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"Third child, you are also an adult, isn't the village organizing a militia team, you will sign up tomorrow!"
"Daddy, you're crazy. What should I do if I join the Eighth Route Army and die on the battlefield? I disagree! The mother subconsciously retorted.
"Participating in the Eighth Route Army is not only to defend the country, but also to protect ourselves and protect the land that the Eighth Route Army is about to distribute to us! Therefore, there must be someone in the family to join the Eighth Route Army and repay the Eighth Route Army. Since the second child wants to be the Eighth Route Army so much, let him go! Huang Zhongcheng replied with a serious face, and there was no room for negotiation in his words.
He doesn't understand the principle of protecting his family and defending the country, but he knows the truth of Entubao, and he knows even more that joining the Eighth Route Army is actually to protect himself and his family!
