The training ground of the independent company is in full swing, but the village of Laoshu not far away is very quiet.

As soon as the morning dawns, all the people in the village who can move will go out and rush to their own fields to make final preparations for spring ploughing.

It wasn't until it began to get dark that everyone returned to the village one after another.

"the child, let's eat dry tonight, and then scramble all the eggs that the old hen has laid in the past two days, so that everyone can eat enough, and strive to finish all the preparations for spring ploughing tomorrow!" Li Shanhu walked into the courtyard and ordered.

"Boss, I'll listen to you, we'll eat dry tonight, and then scrambled eggs!" The wife did not object, and then went into the kitchen and got to work.

After eating, the whole family of five did not rest, but continued to sit around the table under the greeting of Li Shanhu!

"the kid, the Eighth Route Army divided our eighteen acres of land according to the regulations, and the boss participated in the Eighth Route Army and divided two acres, during this time we reclaimed three acres of land, a total of twenty-three acres of land. Although we have five people, we only have four laborers, and it is very stressful to get all the land to grow food on time! ”

The wife hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's the boss who joins the Eighth Route Army, if the boss is at home, it will definitely be no problem to plant twenty-three acres of land!" ”

Li Shanhu immediately replied: "It's right for the boss to go to join the Eighth Route Army, don't mention this matter!" ”

"Without the Eighth Route Army, we would not have been able to have these more than 20 acres of land, and we would not be able to eat enough every day during this time!"

"The Eighth Route Army is right, in the past, we were poor and couldn't eat enough, which was caused by the oppression of those traitors and bullies."

"Now that we have land, we must send people to join the Eighth Route Army, and everyone will protect these lands together!"

"If we let those traitors and bullies come back, we will definitely take the land back, and then we will continue to be poor, we will not have enough to eat, and we may be starved to death when the harvest is bad!"

"Although there is one less laborer in the family, as long as we work for an extra hour every day, we will definitely be able to finish it!"

Seeing that his wife was silent and did not speak, Li Shanhu continued to ask.

"How much food do we have left?"

This time, his wife did not hesitate and blurted out: "Plus what the Eighth Route Army gave us, the boss compensated us by the Eighth Route Army as a soldier, and one hundred and twenty catties of fine grain, all of which were shared by the Eighth Route Army, and more than 800 catties of coarse grain, a total of 1,000 catties." ”

Speaking of which, his wife's face, which was not very good-looking, was already smiling at this time.

"Originally, we only had less than 700 catties of coarse grain, and the family of six people could not survive until the autumn harvest no matter how much we saved!"

"The Eighth Route Army came and distributed food for us. The eldest went to be a soldier, and there was one less mouth in the family. According to the way we eat now, it should be no problem to survive until the autumn harvest.

Li Shanhu affirmed: "Absolutely no problem~"

"We have five mouths, even if we eat six catties of grain a day, it is only one hundred and eighty catties a month, and now we will eat nine hundred catties in five months of the autumn harvest, and we can still have at least one hundred catties left!"

"After the autumn harvest, even if our family's 23 acres of land only receive 120 catties of grain per acre, all of them will add up to more than 2,700 catties."

"The public grain was reduced by 700 catties, and the boss was exempted from taxes by 200 catties as a soldier, and finally fell into our own hands at least 2,100 catties of grain, and they were all fine grains!"

"Leave half of it for yourself, and replace the remaining half with the ocean and coarse grains, and you won't have to go hungry again!"

Li Shanhu's analysis made every family member look full of longing.

It seems that I have seen the picture of eating white flour steamed buns and drinking millet porridge at home a few months later.

His wife was the first to react, stared at Li Shanhu and asked: "Boss, after the autumn harvest, we can really leave more than 2,000 catties of grain, and the Eighth Route Army really only collects so much public grain, and will not apportionment other taxes!" ”

Li Shanhu replied with certainty: "Two thousand one hundred catties is the least!" ”

"As long as we take good care of those 23 acres of land, it is possible for one acre of land to yield 150 catties. As long as the yield of each mu of land is 10 catties more than 120 catties of grain, all of them add up to more than 200 catties, and if they are replaced with coarse grains, they will be at least 500 catties! ”

The wife smiled, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart: "More than 2,000 catties of grain a year, or even 3,000 catties is possible." ”

"Even if we keep 2,000 catties of grain for ourselves, we can still sell 1,000 catties of grain!"

"These are fine grains, very valuable, at least ten oceans. It only takes two years, and we can save enough money to turn over the house and marry a daughter-in-law for the second child! ”

Li Shanhu affirmed: "As long as we take good care of the more than 20 acres of land, we will definitely be able to make a big difference in our family within two years!" ”

"But there is a premise, the spring ploughing in the first year must be done well!"

According to the Eighth Route Army, as long as the soil fertilizer is used well, the increase in production is certain, so our spring plowing must be done well, and there can be no accidents!"

"Second child, early tomorrow morning, you will carry fifty catties of grain to the town to sell, all of them will be replaced with pork, and try to buy fatty meat!"

"In the past few days of spring ploughing, we must eat well, eat well, have oil and water in our stomachs, and then have the strength to work!"

The family's faces became hot.

For the Li family, pork was never eaten during the Chinese New Year last year, let alone usually.

The wife looked worried, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Will it be too much to exchange fifty catties of grain for meat at a time!" ”

"Although we have a lot of food in our hands, if there is an accident in the middle, then the food will not be enough!"

Li Shanhu replied very affirmatively: "This matter is so decided!" ”

"Fifty catties of grain is indeed a lot, but spring plowing is more important."

"We have to believe in the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely be able to protect us. As long as the next spring ploughing is done well, we will have endless food after the autumn harvest! ”

The battalion headquarters of the independent battalion of Hongquan Village, battalion commander Li Hao, instructor Wang Hong, head of the base area Peng Chang, deputy battalion commander Hong Linfeng, and four people also gathered around the table to discuss the upcoming spring ploughing.

"Battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander Lin, through our efforts, the base area has now expanded to 68 villages in five towns, with a total population of nearly 40,000 people, accounting for almost eighty percent of the population and villages in Lingqiu County."

"At the same time, we have also set up nearly 2,000 part-time guerrilla units, nearly 500 part-time district squads, and nearly 500 county brigades, all of which are supported by the main forces, and those veterans and cadres who are supported by the main force will train as long as they have time.

"Originally, these villages only had 100,000 mu of cultivated land, but after our mobilization, we reclaimed nearly 30,000 mu of wasteland, and the total amount of cultivated land reached 130,000 mu, a little more than 3 mu per capita. As long as a stable output is guaranteed this year, the grain harvested in the autumn will definitely ensure that the people in the base area will not go hungry for the next year! ”

"After all, in addition to spring ploughing, the land that is barren after the autumn harvest can also grow some miscellaneous grains with a shorter growth cycle!"

"Good!" Li Hao replied with satisfaction.

"130,000 acres of land, in addition to ensuring that the people in the base area do not go hungry, also provided us with nearly 4 million catties of grain grain!"

"After removing the hundreds of thousands of catties of public food that the recruits have been exempted, the guerrillas, district squads, and county brigades will use up at least 3.5 million catties of grain!"
