Chapter 303: Wu Anjun needs you
Bada
Zhang Yong leaned his shoulder pole against the wall and patted the dust off his body. Before he could take a breath, the two little radish heads rushed out when they heard the movement.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Holding the two thick-headed little guys into his arms, Zhang Yong couldn't help but smile brightly on his dark and rough face.
Less than a year ago, these two little guys were as thin as bamboo poles, with no flesh on their bodies, and now they still hurt a little when they hit their heads on their bodies!
And all of this is thanks to Mr. Wu An. If he hadn’t distributed the fields to everyone, how many people would have died in this extraordinarily cold winter this year...
Holding the two chubby children in his arms, Zhang Yong was devoutly grateful from the bottom of his heart.
He still remembers that his first child died in the harsh winter of hunger and cold. At that time, he could only watch the child weaken day by day, and finally lost his breath little by little in his arms.
He still clearly remembered that at the last moment before he died, the skinny and hungry child said a word to him.
"Daddy, I want to eat candy."
However, he couldn't satisfy such a small wish. He couldn't even find a bowl of rice soup to satisfy his hunger, so he could only watch the child die!
The feeling of being swallowed by despair and pain he never wants to experience again!
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
The immature voice awakened Zhang Yong from his memories, he sucked his nose, and the rough man lowered his red eyes and squeezed out a soft smile.
"It's okay, see what I brought you?"
Taking out a small paper bag from his pocket, Zhang Yong immediately diverted the attention of the two little guys.
"Wow! Maltose!"
Opening the paper bag, the maltose wrapped in flour was snatched up by two little radish heads. Watching them eat the candy happily, the empty black hole in Zhang Yong's heart seemed to be partially healed.
"Why do you buy them sugar again? How expensive!"
The farmer who was feeding chickens in the backyard complained habitually when she saw this scene.
"Hehe, I saw someone selling it at the entrance of the village, so I bought some by the way. This candy is much cheaper than before, not expensive."
Zhang Yong waved his hand, thinking of the whole room of food stored at home, he was full of confidence.
"That can't be eaten every day, it's not Chinese New Year!"
"Oh, daughter-in-law, I'm hungry, give me something to eat!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law and wanting to repeat, Zhang Yong quickly changed the subject.
"Then let me heat up two steamed buns for you."
"Make another bowl of noodles, scoop out more lard!"
"Okay, okay, I will eat you to death!"
Given Zhang Yong an angry look, the peasant woman drove the two cubs to the backyard to play, rolled up her sleeves, walked into the kitchen and did a quick job, and soon brought out a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup.
There was a thick layer of lard floating on the huge sea bowl, Zhang Yong stirred it a few times in satisfaction, and blinked his eyes in doubt.
"Daughter-in-law, why are there no vegetable leaves?"
"Hey, I used to see vegetable leaves with green faces, but now I still want to eat vegetable leaves?"
"Hey, this is not what the publicity team said, by the way, balanced nutrition!"
"Okay, I'll get you some cabbage."
Taking advantage of the time when his wife was cooking, Zhang Yong took out a clay pot and generously added two tablespoons of white salt.
Suck
After eating the salty and mellow pasta, the hot current spreads from the stomach and quickly spreads throughout the whole body.
The exhaustion of the day seems to disappear with the food of heavy oil and salt, and the sore and limp limbs are gradually filled with strength.
Swallowing big mouthfuls, the last bit of winter chill was completely dispelled. Zhang Yong felt hot all over after eating, and sweat broke out on his forehead, feeling very comfortable.
Hoo
Spit out a mouthful of white mist, the hunger in his stomach gradually subsided, Zhang Yong slowed down the speed of eating, opened the clay pot casually, and prepared to add a little more salt.
But looking at the white table salt, Zhang Yong's eyes couldn't help being in a trance again.
Since when can you put salt in your own home?
In the past, this spoonful of salt was enough for several days at home!
It seems that since Wu’an Jun came to Linbo, the price of salt has become cheaper every day. After opening up the coast, it seems that there is no money. You can buy one or two salts with a few copper horns!
In a trance, endless doubts arose in Zhang Yong's heart.
How could life change dramatically in just one year?
Compared with the past days when I tried my best to survive, it was like two worlds!
An inexplicable panic surged in his chest, he was deeply afraid that these days were just a dream of his, and when he woke up, he was still working as a cow and a horse for the landlord in the dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere...
"Father, what are you thinking?"
The familiar voice woke him up from his imagination, and Zhang Yong shivered all over, shaking his head vigorously.
"What's up?"
"No, nothing."
"Did something happen on the construction site? Oh...Didn't Mr. Wu An say that he would not conscript labor, why did he go back on his word?"
Hearing his wife's complaint, Zhang Yong glared and slammed the table hard.
"Fart! Building a reservoir for our own village is called labor? Is the reservoir used by Mr. Wu'an? We don't use it ourselves!"
"It's really long hair but short knowledge. If it doesn't rain, then the reservoir is a life-saving thing!"
"Don't just ask me to do labor, even if you ask me to pay, I am willing!"
Frightened by the sudden anger of her honest husband, the peasant woman bowed her head aggrieved.
"I'm not worried about you..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong's heart softened and he slowed down his voice.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it, I'm on the construction site, and I also have salted fish to eat. Not only have I not lost weight during this period, but I've also gained weight!"
Patting his chest, Zhang Yong's voice became softer.
"And that reservoir is an important project for planting rice after the spring. As the [Longwei] in the village, I must lead by example."
When it came to business, the peasant woman quickly raised her head and asked worriedly.
"Father, do you really want to grow rice? We've been growing wheat all our lives, and if one doesn't grow, we won't have a harvest this year..."
Hearing these words, Zhang Yong's heart was pounding.
He doesn't have much experience, he just learned some fur at night school, and he is really not sure if their land can grow live rice.
And...wheat seedlings for the winter?
Why does this sound unreliable?
But when he thought of the food stored in a room at home, his heart filled with endless confidence.
"What are you afraid of? At worst, I will eat a year's worth of food! I can still go out to work and earn money!"
"But if it happens, think about it, if we plant two rounds a year, the harvest in the field will directly double!"
"When the time comes, sell the food that you can't eat, and make new clothes for you and the two brats, and then repair our house..."
Listening to her husband's plan, the peasant woman was also very moved, but when they were thinking about a happy future, an uninvited guest knocked on the door.
"Brother Zhang and sister-in-law are here, sorry to disturb you so late."
"Hey, Haozi, come, come in, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let your sister-in-law give you the whole bowl of noodles!"
Enthusiastically pulled Li Hao in, Zhang Yong looked at the golden and red intertwined and shining badge on his chest, drooling enviously.
"Eat, eat, don't bother, Brother Zhang, I came to you this time because I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me, leave it to me!"
"Brother Zhang, don't rush to agree, this time is not a trivial matter."
As he spoke, Li Hao took out a booklet and handed it to him solemnly.
"What... Country... Land... Land... What... Law?"
"It is [Liaoyin Fengguo Land Reform Law]."
"Land Reform Law??"
Holding the pamphlet, Zhang Yong looked confused, not understanding why such a thing that only officials need should be handed over to him.
"This is the recent decree promulgated by Mr. Wu An. In fact, it is a summary of the policies implemented in Linbo County this year, such as dividing land, reducing taxes, exempting labor, and organizing dragon guards... Are you familiar with these things?"
Looking at the most down-to-earth and hard-working man in the [Longwei] in the village, Li Hao asked with a smile.
"Oh! Then I am familiar with it!"
Although he doesn’t know much about big characters, Zhang Yong is very clear about the changes that happened around him.
"Then are you interested in going to Weishan County with me to preside over the work? The main content is to implement the [Liuyin Fengguo Land Reform Law] and provide legal education to the local people."
"what?!"
Holding the booklet, Zhang Yong was stunned.
As an honest farmer, when will I be able to educate others?
"No, no, I'm so stupid, how could it be..."
Subconsciously waved his hands in a panic, but unexpectedly, Li Hao grabbed his hand.
"Brother Zhang, let me tell you this, Mr. Wu An has already taken back [Yanhai] [Weishan] two counties, and a large number of grassroots cadres are needed to save the local people from the miserable life of the past!"
"They are the same as we were before, living like pigs and dogs, you just need to tell them your personal experience!"
Seeing that Zhang Yong no longer resisted, Li Hao hit the railway while it was hot.
"You don't have to worry. The army and regular cadres are responsible for the specific work. You only need to do some auxiliary work within your ability. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, just leave it to me."
"And... Brother Zhang, haven't you always wanted to join [Dragon]? This time is a great opportunity!"
"There are hundreds of [Longwei] in our village, and I only fell in love with you. If you don't go, then I will find someone else."
Sensing the hotness in Zhang Yong's eyes, Li Hao made a gesture to leave, but was caught instantly.
"Wait, Haozi, tell us what's going on."
"That is, if you perform well in this assignment, you may be directly absorbed into [Long]'s regular cadres."
"Did you know? We [Dragon] now have an official status. If you become a regular cadre, you will be an official!"
Boom!
The words "Master Guan" exploded in the minds of the couple like a thunderbolt. After a long time, the two stunned people came back to their senses.
"Officer...Master Guan? Me?"
"Well, although the beginning is only a village-level official position, as long as you work hard, you may be able to climb up step by step, and even serve around Lord Wu'an."
"At that time...you will honor your ancestors, and your family will no longer have to plan food in the field, but will be the king's salary!"
Hoo
Unknowingly, his breathing became short of breath. Zhang Yong only felt a burning fire in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. A never-before-seen thing called ambition emerged from the bottom of his heart.
"But I'm leaving, who will farm at home?"
When the words came to his lips, Zhang Yong calmed down again and asked the most realistic question.
"Why are you still thinking about your little field? The expatriate has a salary plus a subsidy, which is several times more than what you earn in a year of hard work!"
As he spoke, Li Hao looked at the peasant woman who was too timid to speak.
"Sister-in-law, just grow some food as much as you can. If you are really too busy, let those relatives in the village who work hard to help, and then share half of the food with them."
"Then how?"
When she heard that half of the food would be divided, the peasant woman frowned in distress.
"Hey...don't worry about that little food anymore. If Brother Zhang becomes a regular cadre, the salary of one person will allow your family to live a decent life!"
Speaking of this, Li Hao looked straight at Zhang Yong, his resolute gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the soul.
"Brother Zhang, the opportunity to change your destiny is once in a lifetime. If you miss this time, you may really have to farm for the rest of your life!"
"Besides, this time is the order of Lord Wu An, he needs you, do you really want to refuse?"
The deep words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, Zhang Yong's eyes dimmed, and only six words remained in his mind.
Jun Wuan needs me!
Jun Wuan needs me!
"Done! I'll go with you!"
"it is good!"
Similar scenes were staged in tens of thousands of villages and towns in Linbo County. Countless grassroots-trained cadres found their favorite subordinates and rushed to the new battlefield.
While the storm swept across the land and destroyed the old buildings, Mr. Wu An, who caused the catastrophe, lay leisurely on the soft bed, admiring the bright moon in the night sky.
"How do you feel that you have changed after going out..."
In the courtyard, on two soft sheets placed side by side, Oakley Yani propped her face with one hand, staring at the boy with interest through the mask.
Under the moonlight, the misty and ethereal side face is so handsome that it is unreal, and the already dusty temperament is even more hazy and dreamy under the moonlight.
"Oh? What changed?"
Youyou turned her head, the brilliance in the pupils shining like stars flowed, and the crystal clear eyeballs seemed to be connected to another universe, trying to inhale the human soul.
But a faintly hidden and mysterious purple light flickered in his eyes, mixing a touch of seductiveness and evil in the young man's independent fairy air.
"Well... I can't tell you the specifics, but I feel that it is not as pure as before."
The expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile froze slightly, Zhao Yinshun blinked, and a mysterious message appeared on his retina.
【Qi】: 16413 (Abyss)【100%】(Different species: 1863)
It seems that we still have to find a way to refine this strange energy...
"By the way, where are my glasses? Return them to me after you use them up!"
"Aren't your eyes still recovering? In order to prevent you from being injured again, I will keep the glasses for you first."
"Who do you think caused my injury?!"
"Hey, the moon is really round today!"
"Don't pretend to be looking at the scenery! Look at me!"
"The stars are listed, the bright moon is in the sky, in this situation, I can't help but feel poetic..."
"Unconscionable bastard! Don't change the subject! Give me back my glasses!"
