Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 798 Repaying Gratitude! (Second update!)

In order to become a member of the Eighth Route Army, Huang Yong, the second child, would stay at the recruiting office of the First Battalion for an hour every day, and then bring home the news of the Eighth Route Army’s victory and tell his father where the Eighth Route Army won the battle again. Here, protect everyone, don't leave.

After Huang Yong brought home the good news that the Xinyi regiment had won battles outside again and again, the voice of opposition from the deputy finally became much quieter.

"Father, mother, the recruiting office just issued an announcement. Last time our family was robbed of [-] catties of food by the devils. Now the Eighth Route Army has decided to supply us with the food they snatched from the devils. Let us go and get it now." Food!" Huang Yong shouted excitedly as soon as he got home today.

"Impossible!" This was my father's first thought.

The devils had already snatched the food, and the Eighth Route Army didn't distribute food casually, and even their own army food was not enough, so how could 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 return as much as the devils robbed, but not many people took it seriously.

After all, the devils have taken a lot of food from everyone in the past two years, even more than this year, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Seeing that his father didn't believe it, Huang Yong continued: "Really, the announcement was read to me by an officer at the recruitment office. I didn't mishear a word!"

"And when I came back, I saw someone going to collect food..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very lively noise outside the door.

At the entrance of the village not far away, several familiar villagers carried a grain bag on their shoulders.

"Did you see that? That's the old Zhang's family. Their family was also robbed of nearly [-] catties of food. Even if the food they brought back was less than [-] catties, it would not be much different!" Huang Yong replied very positively.

"Go, let's go to the entrance of the village now!" Father finally couldn't sit still, and immediately made a decision.

When he reached the door, he turned his head and shouted into the house: "Boss, third child, and second child, you all follow me. We also have three hundred catties of grain!"

At the recruiting office of the Eighth Route Army, when a few people arrived, there was already a long queue!
Not long after, it fell to Huang Yong's family.

"Huang Zhongcheng, you have been apportioned three hundred catties of grain by the devil. Because you are tenants and do not have your own land, according to our Eighth Route Army's public grain policy, there is no need to apportion public grain. Therefore, the three hundred catties of grain will be fully compensated to you!" Standing An Eighth Route Army cadre behind the desk said with a smile.

Then he took a receipt and handed it to Huang Zhongcheng: "This is the receipt, you keep it, and now you can go to the side to get three hundred catties of grain!"

"Thank you Eighth Route Army, thank you comrades!" Huang Zhong replied excitedly after knelt down before the Eighth Route Army.

Because they are tenants, the total harvest of the family this year is only [-] catties of grain.

There are six people in the family, and each person can only get one hundred catties of grain. Even if they save money, they will not be able to sustain the next autumn harvest.Huang Zhongcheng has already made preparations for the whole family to eat wild vegetables for half a year, or go to the city to do hard work to earn rations.

But even so, the devils snatched three hundred catties of grain from them abruptly.

The whole family of six eats [-] catties of grain a year, no amount of savings is enough.Therefore, since the food was robbed by devils, Huang Zhongcheng has never laughed, and frowned every day thinking about how to let his family survive the next year without starving to death!

Now, with the [-] catties of grain compensated to him by the Eighth Route Army, Huang Zhongcheng suddenly saw hope, the hope of keeping his family alive.

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 bottom of his heart.

Because these three hundred catties of food are likely to be life-saving food that will keep the family from starving to death at critical moments.

And at this moment, a very bold idea came to Huang Zhongcheng's mind, to send his second son to the Eighth Route Army to fight devils, to repay his kindness!
Just when more and more people gathered in the threshing ground at the entrance of the village, and the people in the village were almost out of their nests, an Eighth Route Army cadre suddenly jumped onto the table in front of everyone and told everyone the good news that made all the tenants weep with joy.

In terms of land distribution, more than 500 mu of fertile land confiscated from traitors in the village were all distributed to tenants in the village who did not have land for free.

Not only that, the Eighth Route Army plans to reclaim nearly [-] acres of wasteland and slopes around the village, turn them into good fields, 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, they are distributed to us for free!" a tenant asked, staring at the Eighth Route Army in disbelief.

"No money, our Eighth Route Army keeps what we say, a total of more than 560 acres of fertile land, all of which will go down!"

"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, crying because he was so happy.

On the threshing floor, many tenants without land had the same expression, full of gratitude to the Eighth Route Army.

The same was true for Huang Zhongcheng. After being pulled up by the Eighth Route Army, he immediately asked a question that he wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask.

"Comrade, you just said that in two days, you will organize everyone to reclaim the surrounding wasteland and sloping land, and give ten catties of grain as compensation for one acre of land reclaimed. At that time, the land will be distributed to everyone for free!"

"Not bad!" The Eighth Route Army cadre affirmed.

"Not only is there ten catties of grain compensation for each mu of land, but in order to encourage everyone to reclaim more land, for every mu of land reclaimed, we will also receive five white flour steamed buns from us, so that everyone can reclaim wasteland vigorously!"

"I'm signing up now!" Huang Zhongcheng said without thinking.

Although he is a farmer, his mind is not confused. There are four strong laborers in the family including himself. If you work overtime and work hard, it will definitely be no problem to cultivate two acres of land a day.

The Eighth Route Army in the village just said that there are more than 3000 mu 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, the whole family can reclaim [-] mu of land, that is, [-] catties of grain and [-] white flour steamed buns that are usually reluctant to eat during the New Year.

With the white flour and steamed buns given by the Eighth Route Army, the whole family can have at least [-] catties of rations left in a month, which means that the family can make a net profit of [-] catties of grain.

At that time, the whole family will not need to eat wild vegetables, and they will be able to survive the next autumn harvest just by eating grains.

The Eighth Route Army cadre on the opposite side didn't know Huang Zhongcheng's complicated thoughts at this moment, so he explained directly: "There is no need to sign up. In the morning two days later, everyone just needs to bring tools and gather here. Someone will arrange for everyone to reclaim the land !"

"As long as everyone reclaims an acre of land and gets the receipt issued by our soldiers, you can receive ten catties of grain and five steamed buns here!"

After returning home, Huang Zhongcheng made a decision in front of all his family members: "Second brother, I have decided to allow you to join the Eighth Route Army!"

"Third brother, you are also an adult. Isn't the village organizing a militia team? You can sign up tomorrow!"

"Father, you are crazy. What if you join the Eighth Route Army and die on the battlefield? I don't agree!" The mother subconsciously retorted.

"Participating in the Eighth Route Army is not only to protect our family and the country, but also to protect ourselves and the land that the Eighth Route Army is about to give us! Therefore, one person from the family must go to the Eighth Route Army to repay the Eighth Route Army. Since the second child wants to be an Eighth Route Army so much, Then let him go!" Huang Zhongcheng replied with a serious face, there was no room for negotiation in his words.

He doesn't understand the principle of defending the family and the country, but he knows the principle of repaying kindness, and he knows even more that participating in the Eighth Route Army is actually protecting himself and his family!
