Although the vast number of peasant households in the Far East suffered from the severe drought, they still thanked the Far Eastern Group Company, and when the drought was most severe, the company lowered the land tax this year according to the situation of the disaster in various places, and the most severely affected areas simply reduced the land tax.

The repayment amount of this year's loans has also been reduced or waived accordingly, which has made the majority of farmers breathe a sigh of relief. When encountering such a host, the big guy's heart is not only grateful but also grateful.

Moreover, the company has also assembled a large number of steam-powered pumps along the main rivers in eastern Liaodong to pump water for irrigation around the farmland day and night. A large number of cars and horse-drawn wagons traveled between the riverside and the farmland of the peasant households, bringing huge water tanks filled with river water to the fields of the vast number of peasant households.

The company also organized a large number of personnel to participate in disaster relief in various severely affected areas. The entire Far Eastern Company, from the standing committee members of the board of directors to the cadres of the grassroots brigade, all put down their work and went to the front line to carry and transport water for the grassroots farmers.

Garrison troops and militia reserves from all over the Far East have almost poured out, and all of them have come out to help the peasant households carry and carry water. A group of honest farmers, looking at the majestic military masters in the past, braving the scorching sun, topless to help them carry water and water the ground, were all frightened and stupid.

This is too, which dynasty and generation have never heard of the military master helping the people to work, they all say that the soldiers are like combs, these soldiers don't come to harm you, so thank God, now they actually help everyone carry water, it's too mysterious.

The farmers, who have gradually adapted to it, have gradually accepted this reality. But they don't have any support in their hearts, who knows if these ruffians will care if they want this or that after they finish their work, if they annoy this gang of ruffians and make them angry and angry, it will be bad.

Although since the call came to the Far East. The nearby military masters have never harmed them, but when they first came to Liaodong, they had all seen the fierceness of these military masters. When Li Laogen just got off the boat, he was whipped by a wolf-like military master because his movements were a little slower, and it hurt him for a day. I still have palpitations when I think about it now.

So, everyone ran home one after another and took out all the good things that the family was reluctant to eat. Not only did they prepare all kinds of food, but they also went to buy some wine, for fear that these military masters would find trouble after finishing their work.

Li Laogen and his family turned out all the good things in the house, and the North Korean woman slaughtered the big in the house with tears in her eyes. After the two of them finished their work, it was almost evening, and they hurried to their own place with food. When I put things down, I stood nervously to the side.

They didn't even dare to come out, Li Laogen and the North Korean woman at home were pulling a child by themselves, and the child's hands were clutched to death by them, and the palms of the hands were cold sweat. At this time, even the naughty children at home felt that the surrounding atmosphere was wrong, and they didn't even dare to cry with their mouths pursed, and the appearance of the family was extremely tragic.

Not only Li Laogen's family, but also the farmers in the squadron are like this. There was a desolate atmosphere throughout the fields.

The officers and soldiers of the Far East, who were working in the fields, were made to laugh and cry by the actions of the peasants. But they also know. At this time, going up to explain may increase the fear of the farmers, so they simply do not explain.

When the leaders of the squadrons and brigades found out, they came to each house to do their work and explain to them the discipline of the Far Eastern Army, but it was still useless. The farmers don't listen to you at all. The main thing is that when they first came to Liaodong, the Far Eastern Army left a deep impression on them.

At that time, because there were too many displaced people, and these displaced people had not undergone winter training, there was no slightest organizational discipline, and once there was chaos. It is bound to cause a stampede. Therefore, the Military Commission ordered the officers and men of the Far East to take extraordinary measures during the special period to maintain order at all costs and ensure the stability of the ranks of the displaced people.

Therefore, during the period when the refugees first arrived in Liaodong, the Far Eastern Army adopted extremely strict policies towards the refugees, with leather whips and wooden roots being the main means, so many people disembarked every day, so there was time to ink with you.

It was not until the various units of the Far Eastern Army completed their tasks that the various units of the Far Eastern Army left the fields and began to form their teams, and the soldiers silently put on their military uniforms, put on backpacks and equipment, and the platoon leaders of each squad shouted the password loudly: "Look to the right...... Look forward...... Turn right...... March...... One-two-one...... One-two-one...... Unity is strength, ready to sing ......"

"Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel ......"

The soldiers picked up the water for a day, although it was very hard, but they were all good boys who had been trained all year round, and they were relieved of their fatigue after a short rest, and their mental state was not bad, and their morale was also very high. They marched in orderly steps, sang loud military songs, and strode towards the nearby camp.

Li Laogen was immediately confused, what is going on, why don't these military masters stay to eat. He had the courage to ask the military master who led the team: "Military master, we have prepared dinner, there is nothing good, please take a bite before leaving." ”

The leading cadre of the Far Eastern Army listened to Li Laogen's words, smiled and said: "Brother, don't harm me, our troops are disciplined, and we can't take a stitch from the common people. Take everything back, I thank you for the soldiers. ”

After he finished speaking, he patted Li Laogen on the shoulder, then turned around and left with a smile. Li Laogen looked at the team in the distance blankly, and saw that the military uniforms on the soldiers were wet with sweat, and the water was drenched all over his body, and his heart suddenly became hot.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed something from a pile of food on the ground, and then scolded the North Korean woman who was stunned on the side: "You ruined girl, what are you doing in a daze, quickly help me get something and send it to the military masters." ”

The North Korean woman reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran up to catch a few things, and then chased after Li Laogen, and the two were in a hurry, and some things fell to the ground and couldn't take care of them.

At this time, the other peasant households, like Li Laogen and his family, caught up with the ranks of the Far Eastern Army with their things, and desperately stuffed the food in their hands into the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Far East, provoking the soldiers to accept or refuse.

The commanders and political workers of the various units had no choice but to explain the discipline of the troops to the many peasant households, but after a long time of bitter talk, the peasant households did not listen at all, and had to stuff their things into the hands of the soldiers before leaving.
