Passing through them, Zhou Jiwang stopped in front of a very impressive-looking tile house in the village. He could tell that this house should be the house of a local landlord, but the house was not as unavoidable as he imagined.
The villagers in the village swaggered through the door, not caring that this was a landlord's house.
There were even women walking in and out of the yard.
A woman ran out with a pair of pants that Zhou Jiwang had never seen before, calling everyone in the village to come and take a look. When Zhou Jiwang came to the door, he heard a string of cheers inside. The cheers gave him an unreal feeling.
It felt like he had almost never heard such cheers in his village:
"These pants are so beautiful!"
"Can the pants designed by Captain Xia not look good?"
"Have Deputy Company Commander Li tell Company Commander Xia that the first batch of pants is out."
Listening to their conversation, Zhou Jiwang stood on tiptoe and looked inside. A woman came out. He hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, what is going on here, why are you so happy?"
But the face of the woman who came out was filled with a smile that Zhou Jiwang had never seen before. The smile was so happy and brilliant that Zhou Jiwang felt that the village in front of him was so unreal.
"The pants were designed by Captain Xia, and they were made by all of us. They are now finished, and they are beautiful."
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Zhou Jiwang asked again: "Company Commander Xia, who is Company Commander Xia?"
The smile on the woman's face disappeared, she stared at Zhou Jiwang and asked, "Who are you? Are you not from our village?"
Zhou Jiwang quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, I come from another village. My father and my mother were killed by the landlords. The Red Army came to our village before and told me that they were in Nianping Village and would come to our village sooner or later.
.”
The woman said: "Captain Xia is the company commander of the Red Army. They are on the back mountain. You can go to the back mountain to find them."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
After thanking the woman, Zhou Jiwang tightened his luggage and glanced in the direction of the back mountain, feeling excited. After entering the village, he felt the unusual atmosphere in the village, which was reflected on the faces of every villager.
The smile on his face is definitely not the smile of being oppressed and exploited by the landlords.
Life is already quite bitter, and who can smile happily and brightly?
Joining the Red Army gave him hope of revenge.
"One two one...one two one"
When he came to the mountain, Zhou Jiwang heard the uniform voice, and his mood became increasingly unbearable. He walked up the mountain and saw the Red Army soldiers who were training. A group of soldiers in blue military uniforms were running along the path.
"Stand firm!"
The platoon leader Yang Chenglin was leading a platoon during training. When he saw Zhou Jiwang walking up the mountain, he immediately ordered the team to stop, stared at Zhou Jiwang cautiously, and asked: "Hello, comrade, what are you here for?"
Zhou Jiwang saw the speaker and said, "I am a villager from Laohe Village. I came here to find the Red Army."
"Isn't Laohe Village the village where we performed our mission earlier?"
Class 1 and 2 Zhan Sheng had previously performed missions in Laohe Village. It was their first mission, so they had a very deep impression of Laohe Village.
The platoon leader Yang Chenglin asked: "We are the Red Army. What is the reason why you came to us?"
After receiving the other party's affirmation, Zhou Jiwang burst into tears. After putting down his luggage, he knelt on the ground with a plop and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Please, let me join the Red Army."
"Get up, get up, this is not allowed. Our company commander said that everyone in the Red Army is equal and no special treatment is allowed. He also said that there is gold under a man's knees and he must kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents. If you have any difficulties, tell us. We
The Red Army will definitely help you, even if you kneel down."
The platoon leader Yang Chenglin quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Jiwang up, turned around and said: "First squad leader, third squad leader, you lead the team to continue training, and the second squad leader is here."
"yes!"
The second squad leader walked out of the team, and the first squad leader shouted: "Run! Go! One, two, one! One, two, one!"
The second squad leader came over and said: "I have been to Laohe Village before. If you have any difficulties, tell me and we will definitely help you."
Zhou Jiwang's tears kept falling. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet. His old mother and father died tragically in front of his eyes, but he could do nothing. He could only watch the two elders being brutally killed by the landlord. Until now, his parents
The image of the tragic death was still deeply imprinted in his mind, like traces carved on stone, lingering.
His only obsession is to find the Red Army alive and avenge his old father and mother.
And now he finally found a way to join the Red Army to avenge his parents.
Wiping away his tears, Zhou Jiwang endured the grief in his heart, regained his confidence, and followed the platoon leader Yang Chenglin and the second squad leader to the place where the Red Army lived. What he saw were rows of houses built by himself, two or three carrying
The Red Army soldiers in the bamboo basket returned with their loads and greeted the platoon leader Yang Chenglin and the second squad leader.
Zhou Jiwang looked at the things in their bamboo baskets and found that there were actually baskets of food in them.
They entered a courtyard, and a Red Army man wearing an apron came out of the house, grabbed a piece of cloth to wipe his hands, and shouted happily: "Xiaoping, have you got any meat today?"
The buyer named Xiaoping put down the bamboo basket behind him and said: "The company commander ordered that one of the three meals a day must have meat, even if the quantity is small, there must be meat."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Listening to the hearty laughter, Zhou Jiwang felt inexplicably at ease. He turned to look at the Red Army soldiers who led him into the house. Most of the items in the house were made of bamboo. There were stools, tables, and bamboo boxes made of bamboo.
There are several bamboo beds on one side of the room, and everything is handmade.
"Sit down, you are thirsty after coming here from Laohe Village. Drink some water." Yang Chenglin, the platoon leader, walked to the stool and sat down. He pointed at Zhou Jiwang. Seeing that Zhou Jiwang was still a little reserved, he smiled and said: "Comrade,
Don’t be afraid. Our Red Army is different from other armies. Our Red Army advocates equality for everyone. When training and performing tasks, I am everyone’s platoon leader, but in life, I am everyone’s friend and relative. The same goes for you.
, when we come here, we are friends, we can sit casually at a friend’s house.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Jiwang put down his luggage and sat on the bamboo stool. The second squad leader poured him a glass of water, "Drink some water first to moisten your throat."
Zhou Jiwang said quickly: "Sir, I'm not thirsty. I drank a lot of water in a ditch on the other side of the mountain."
"That's it, tell us about the situation now." The platoon leader Yang Chenglin nodded, "Our company commander is going down the mountain now, and he will probably come back a little later. You tell us first, and we will take you there when the company commander comes back.
Meet him."
"Okay." Zhou Jiwang nodded and told the story in detail: "...the landlord knew that we took the Red Army's money and led his men everywhere to kill people."
"My old father and mother... were beaten to death by the landlord and his men."
Mentioning the tragic situation of his old father and mother, Zhou Jiwang was heartbroken and couldn't stop crying.
"That's unreasonable!"
The platoon leader Yang Chenlin stood up angrily, his eyes filled with scarlet bloodshot eyes, and stared at the ground angrily: "How dare he do this, killing people everywhere in the village, he is not afraid of retribution! Damn it, second squad leader, let's go.
Now go find the company commander! You must tell the company commander about this and let him lead us to liberate Laohe Village in advance!"
The second squad leader was equally angry and cursed: "Yes! Zhang Wangcai knew we existed, but he dared to do this to the villagers. He deserves death. He asked the company commander to tie Zhang Wangcai to a tree, call a meeting of the whole village, and punish Zhang Wangcai!"
"
The platoon leader Yang Chenglin said to Zhou Jiwang: "Comrade, don't worry, we will take care of this matter to the end, and we will make the decision for everyone! Come on, I will take you to find the company commander now. Our company commander is down the mountain."
The two of them took Zhou Jiwang and rushed down the mountain immediately. They did not find Xia Yuan in the quilt factory. They heard the lesbians in the quilt factory say: "After looking at the new clothes, Captain Xia left. It seemed that he was going to breed."
It’s time.”
The breeding farm is a piece of land divided on the mountain and surrounded by bamboo poles and trees. In the morning, the sheep herders drive the sheep into the enclosure, and when the sun sets, they drive them back and lock them up. During this period, they only need to watch the enclosure.
The cattle and sheep in the farm are fine. The enclosure is large and the vegetation is very dense. In addition, there are a lot of cattle and sheep, so there are quite a lot of people herding sheep.
Sometimes villagers who have free time will go up the mountain to help. Usually when the sun sets, Mr. Li will summon some villagers to go to the mountain to help drive down the cattle and sheep.
Yang Chenglin and the second squad leader took Zhou Jiwang to the breeding farm. Zhou Jiwang asked curiously: "What was that done just now?"
The second squad leader said: "They make clothes. This is the quilt factory set up by our company commander. The Red Army paid for the fabrics. Everyone came to help make clothes. If they make a piece of clothing, they can get some money and the finished clothes
It is said that they will wait until the trade zone is launched in the future before selling them, but I don’t know much about the trade zone.”
Zhou Jiwang's heart was filled with shock. Everything in Nianping Village made him full of curiosity and shock. The Red Army soldiers who came to their village were right, Nianping Village had really undergone tremendous changes.
When we came to the mountain, we saw an area enclosed by a wooden fence from a distance. Cows and sheep were inside the fence. A group of people stood outside the fence, pointing at the cows and sheep inside.
"Company commander! Company commander!"
Yang Chenglin shouted and walked over in a hurry.
Xia Yuan, who heard the voice, turned his head and saw the person coming, "It's a platoon leader, slow down, don't be anxious, what's wrong? This is in a panic, Lao Yang, it's been almost a month, you are also an old man.
You are a warrior, why are you still so flustered when doing things? Slow down, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly."
Yang Chenglin took a breath and said, "Company commander, let the second squad leader tell you."
Xia Yuan turned to look at the second squad leader and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
The second squad leader gasped and said anxiously: "It's Laohe Village. Something happened to the villagers of Laohe Village."
Xia Yuan frowned slightly: "Laohe Village, isn't that the village where we bought lambs and calves before?"
He vaguely guessed something in his heart, "Speak slowly, don't rush."
The second squad leader said: "Company commander, during the meeting some time ago, didn't you tell our second squad to go to Laohe Village to investigate whether the landowners in Laohe Village had robbed the villagers' lambs and calves? I took the soldiers of the second squad to ask.
Hey, that bitch really robbed, not only did he rob the calves and lambs that the villagers had worked so hard to raise, but he also beat people."
He said: "We compensated the villagers who were robbed at the original price of the lambs, and told them to be careful not to be discovered by the landlords. We also told them that sooner or later we would come and drive the landlords away.
, I told everyone not to worry or be anxious, but I didn’t expect that something happened in Laohe Village just a short time ago.”
The second squad leader pointed to Zhou Jiwang beside him and said: "This is a villager from Laohe Village. He just escaped from Zhang Wangcai. He searched for us all the way and found our village."
The second squad leader introduced to Zhou Jiwang: "This is our company commander. Although our company commander is young, he is actually an old Red Army soldier. He used to make revolutions with the Red Army troops, but later the failed team was
After they were broken up, the company commander found another shortcut and returned. We pretended to be crazy and observed for a long time before taking action. Now that Nianping Village has developed, good times will be brought to other villages sooner or later."
Xia Yuan smiled, looked at Zhou Jiwang, and asked: "I know that Laohe Village is already on the target of our plan, but Laohe Village is far away from Nianping Village, and our development must start from several surrounding villages.
Starting from the village, we will probably have to wait until later to reach Laohe Village.”
He thought for a moment, "But then again, if something happened in Laohe Village, it was directly related to our Red Army. This was my mistake. Once the Red Army entered other villages, once they left traces and were traced by the enemy, they suffered
The local villagers are suffering, and I should take action on the day I should say hello to the soldiers."
Zhou Jiwang fell to his knees with a plop and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Please ask the company commander to make the decision for my old father and mother!"
Xia Yuan quickly helped Zhou Jiwang up and said: "A man has gold under his knees. He must kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents. No matter what, I will make the decision for you, and I also have some responsibility for this matter. Since
If you choose to trade and then let them go back, you should have anticipated the possible exposure risks in advance, blame me, blame me."
When mentioning this matter, Xia Yuan was full of self-blame. There were too many things to deal with in Nianping Village. The reform of the Farmers' Association had a lot of changes. He had to consider all aspects. During this period, he also paid attention to matters in the village and the base area.
Other things are ignored.
This incident also reminded him that some things that should be done should be done in advance.
The affairs of Laohe Village, the Red Army team in West Hankou, the external development of the base area and the internal development of the base area, are many things. At present, the Red Army team has grown to the size of a company, and they are all on Longfeng Mountain behind Nianping Village, and a base area has been established.
Whether it is external development or investigating the Red Army team in West Hankou, it is inevitable that the Nianping Village base area will be exposed, and everything that you have worked so hard to build will inevitably suffer a serious blow.
To move or not to move?
Is it to develop steadily in Nianping Village regardless of what is happening in the outside world? Or is it to directly start external expansion, use force to suppress the landlords, use force to promote the peasant association, expand the team, and expand the territory.
