Chapter 456 Settled in Dawa
This reason was so powerful that Sister Caiyun turned away shyly, her hands almost breaking!
Chen Feng did not hesitate. He knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times respectfully. Liu Minggui's old eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Xiaofeng's back with gratitude.
The atmosphere on the way down the mountain was a bit awkward. Liu Minggui and Chen Feng were asking about fighting the Japanese invaders. Sister Caiyun was hiding far away with two baskets on her shoulders. Even the breeze could not blow away the blush on her face.
If they really needed to move, ten trucks would not be enough to move everything. The three families only took some valuables with them and asked their neighbors to take care of their homes. After the land was divided, Liu Minggui had already become a Buddha in the village.
After the three carriages left Gaoshan, the villagers saw them off with tears in their eyes. Other families who became wealthy and moved had to sell all their land, property, and furniture before leaving. But these three families were different. They divided up all their land and furniture, and the three families who took care of the houses even gave a few dollars.
The Zhang family compound in Beizhuang has now become the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment. The convoy entered the compound and three trucks were already waiting. Li Ergou was very happy to see everyone. He greeted them and started playing with Heiwa.
Half an hour later, the convoy set off, and Li Ergou personally led a special operations platoon to escort it.
Dawa is located in the ravine between the Jade Emperor Pavilion and Chaoyang Cave in Mengshan. There is a ravine between two mountains. There are some small pieces of land in the ravine. Originally, there were several small villages. A few years ago, there were bandits in Mengshan and the people in the mountains moved away. The ravine is only four kilometers away from Guimengding in a straight line. Now a small village has been built. Some disabled veterans live in the village, and those with families have been brought in. They usually grow vegetables and raise poultry. When they have free time, they will open up some wasteland to grow some food. The logistics department of the guerrillas comes to collect vegetables every three days, and they live a very comfortable life.
There have been some new residents in the village recently. They didn’t tell me where they came from, but the old soldier knew all about it and no one was idle to ask. When a new family settles down, there are always areas where they need help. The original residents were very enthusiastic and helped the new residents build earthen kangs and sheds.
Early in the morning, there was suddenly some movement in the village. Three more families moved in, two couples in their fifties and a single old man. The three families lived next to each other. Logistics Minister Yan Jiaming ran around busying himself, delivering food supplies and farm tools to the three families. He asked the veterans to take good care of the three families, and then left with the convoy.
It's not ordinary, absolutely not ordinary. The person who could send Yan Quezi, a member of the logistics department with poor legs and feet, must be a relative of some high-ranking official. Although the old soldiers were curious, they had all learned the rules of confidentiality and should not ask questions that they shouldn't ask, even if they had already left the army.
The three families of five are all very satisfied with their new home. It has a brand new house, a clean courtyard, a vegetable garden outside the gate, and a large piece of wasteland behind the house. What makes the families feel the warmest is that there are some half-grown chickens in the cages in the yard, more than ten in each family. In addition to the chickens, each family also has a puppy to guard the house. The three courtyards are full of vitality.
The three families arranged their bedding and gathered in Chen Weiping's yard in the middle to chat. As farmers, they talked about things in the fields.
"Hey man, what did the guy who claimed to be in charge of logistics say just now? Can the wasteland at the back be used for planting?"
Chen Weiping smiled, which was rare:
"Brother Liu, you are born to work. Why do you want to open up new land on the first day you arrive?"
Liu Minggui sighed:
"You're so bored with nothing to do! As you saw when you came in, every family grows vegetables. Look at the scale, each family must have two or three acres of land! I heard that Xiaofeng's team consumes several thousand kilograms of vegetables every day, and the price is good. Those things can be harvested after planting for one or two months. You can't spend your daughter's money and wait to eat up the money!"
Heiwa's father Tian Fuli also has a row of neat white teeth.
"Brother Liu, don't be anxious. Let's settle everything first. It won't make any difference if you grow a few days earlier or later. The man surnamed Yan just now has made it clear. If you want to farm, you can cultivate land next to the house. Each family can plant at most three acres, and grow more vegetables and less grain."
In the evening, Chen Feng, Liu Caiyun and Heiwa all came back. The three families had a lively dinner at Chen Weiping's new home. Since they had all arrived in Mengshan, there was no need to make a big fuss about it, but there was no need to be cautious either.
The disabled veterans in the village were stunned. They thought of many people, but not the captain and the dean. No wonder, no wonder! Dozens of veterans told their families not to go out, took up arms and joined the guard team. The captain and the dean only brought one squad of guards, and they must not let the bad guys take advantage of them.
The guard squad leader found it funny and touching at the same time. The captain had never thought of giving up these disabled soldiers. Those with lighter injuries could be used to train new recruits, and many of those who could not be trained joined the caravan. This small village had the worst injuries, with those with broken legs and arms unable to walk far. They were illiterate and had no other skills, so they could only stay in the village and grow vegetables for a living. The logistics department collected vegetables at a high price, which could ensure that every family lived a prosperous life. The veterans were of course grateful, and they also knew how miserable the injuries in other teams were. It could be said that the care that the Yimeng Guerrillas had given them had exceeded that of all other troops, so the veterans were naturally grateful.
"Xiaofeng, it's great here, we are all very satisfied with it, you don't have to worry about it, come when you have time, if you don't have time just focus on fighting the Japanese."
Chen Weiping drank two glasses of good wine and felt very satisfied. He was a little stubborn before coming here, but after coming here, he liked this place. He could live a normal farming life and live close to his children. He didn't have to be cautious and worry about being exposed and causing trouble for his children. The family had no shortage of money and food. Isn't this a life of enjoyment? If he was dissatisfied with anything else, he would just be showing off.
Heiwa's mother kept picking up food for Heiwa. There was a scar on her son's face. She cried secretly all night. After being educated by the head of the household for a long time, she finally understood after listening to her son's explanation that war was somewhat dangerous and farming at home was not necessarily safe. They were better off after going to Gaoshan and were not troubled by the Japanese. A relative in the village came to avoid the disaster. The outside world was full of cannibalistic Japanese. People were being captured and killed everywhere. Young and strong laborers did not dare to live at home at all. If they were caught by the Japanese, they were either sent to mine or build railways. Many people were never heard from again after being captured. Their child was so strong that he would be captured by the Japanese sooner or later if he did not join the army.
Liu Caiyun regained her reserve in front of everyone. As the director of a hospital, she dealt with patients patiently all day long and her temper improved a lot. Liu Minggui and Caiyun's mother were very satisfied to see that their daughter was satisfied, and Xiaofeng next to her was also very happy.
Chen Feng felt a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken feet to avoid the eager gazes. Liu Caiyun's face was red. He knew his parents well. This was the look they gave their son-in-law. Not to mention that Xiaofeng felt embarrassed, he himself felt uncomfortable.
"Dad, I have to remind you that the people living in the village are all veterans of our team. They are all injured and disabled after fighting in hundreds of battles. Don't argue with them just because you are their daughter. I won't protect you!"
