Chapter 260
Just after the summer harvest, the villagers were threshing the wheat in full swing. Wang Zhong didn't expect that the three monkeys and Lao Ganbang would come to help him. It is much more convenient to come back and thresh.

Although Wang Chong's thresher looks crude, it can actually thresh wheat, but it requires a person to step on the pedals, just like riding a bicycle. The pedals drive the transmission and drive the rollers, and the thresher is ready to use. It works fine, and the effect of threshing is very good.

The only disadvantage is that it cannot be used by one person alone like a windmill, and requires the cooperation of two people.

One stomps and the other threshes the wheat.

Ma Renli naturally became the tool man who stepped on the pedals.

Wang Zhong, Lao Ganbang and the three monkeys took turns threshing the wheat, and Ma Renli was in charge of stepping on the pedals. When Ma Renli was really exhausted, he replaced them.

With the cooperation of the four, all the wheat produced by the four of them was threshed within half a day.

However, after threshing, the wheat has to be sun-dried or dried to reduce the moisture in the wheat to a standard suitable for storage, otherwise the wheat will be easily covered.

Now that there are windmills and threshers, wheat does not need to be piled up in the store all the time, and there is no need to worry about the weather that may change at any time.

Nowadays, there is no such special machine for drying, and the kang is used to dry slowly. The speed is too slow, and it can’t dry much at one time. Wang Zhong thought it was troublesome, so he picked two sunny days to dry the wheat twice, and then After two more windmills, it was weighed and put into storage.

Wang Zhong has more than two acres of land, nearly two acres, close to three acres of land, and the dried wheat is only more than 300 catties after weighing. On average, the yield of one mu of land is only in the early [-]s, which is really low.

After the wheat is put into the warehouse, it has to be ploughed and planted.

It took seven days to plow all four people's fields. This was because of Wang's strong gravity, otherwise the speed would have to be slower.

After plowing, they had to sow seeds. Wang Zhong planted peanuts and soybeans, while Lao Ganbang and the others planted corn and soybeans.

From the beginning of the summer harvest to the plowing and planting, other people in the village saw that Wang Zhong and the others worked together much more quickly than their own, so they started to think about it. Niu Bold and Wang Wanchun were also very active. What's more, the mutual aid group model like Wang Zhong's has already existed in the Northeast.

What is different from the original plot is that with Wang Zhong and the others as a living example, seeing the remarkable results brought by the mutual aid group, the folks in the village can't wait to take the initiative to learn from Wang Zhong and the others to form a mutual aid group.

So under the call and organization of the village head Wang Wanchun and the chairman of the peasant association Niu Daudao, nearly half of the dozens of families in Maixiang Village, with more than 100 people, expressed their agreement to form a mutual aid group one after another, and the rest were either family members. There are many, or they still have a wait-and-see attitude.

As the chairman of the farmer's association, Niu boldly has a high level of awareness. He took the lead and led several needy households in the village to form a mutual aid group. Work together to prepare for autumn sowing.

Suddenly, six support groups were born.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Wang Zhong ran to the field every three days to check the growth of peanuts and corn, and to see if the pear trees on the mountain were infected with insects. Yes, there are 36 trees, all of which were planted by Wang Zhong in the stone field on the mountain. Wang Zhong's depression was also replaced with the stone field next to the blind old Yin. The two stone fields add up to two acres. More than three points.

In order to distinguish the boundaries, Wang Zhong planted a circle of pear trees around the stone land of more than two mu. Just the outer circle alone has planted 36 pear tree seedlings. The vegetables that Wang Zhong got were planted.

The vegetables were formed into ridges, and the remaining open space was cleared out by Wang Zhong one after another, and soybeans and corn were planted.

After the beginning of summer, the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants that Wang Zhong had planted earlier, cucumbers, and pumpkins began to bear fruit one after another, and leeks and green onions were ready to eat earlier.

Wang Zhong also made a special trip to cook a few side dishes in the yard, with green leeks planted in them.

Basically, every few days, Wang Zhong took a basket full of vegetables to the county to sell. Because the land was just allocated this year, some villagers didn't think about growing vegetables, and some didn't grow much, just after the summer harvest. , the folks had a lot of wheat in their hands, so occasionally some folks exchanged the newly produced wheat with Wang Zhong for some pumpkins.

Seeing Wang Zhong take the freshly picked vegetables from the field to the county to sell for money, many villagers in the village also moved their minds.

Seeing the corn, soybeans, and peanuts in the field grow as long as possible, Tianwang re-cut a few crops of leeks, cracked a few eggs, made scrambled eggs with leeks, and steamed a pot of rice. Ma Renli's voice came.

Wang Zhong raised his eyes and saw Ma Renli standing at the door with a bottle of white wine and a smiling face.

"come in!"

"Scrambled eggs with leeks! You can already smell the aroma in the yard." Ma Renli's eyes lit up.

Wang Zhong lifted the lid of the wooden barrel containing the rice, and a burst of white water vapor filled the room with a faint smell of meat in an instant.

"What is it?" Ma Renli leaned over to take a look, his eyes widened immediately, and he swallowed subconsciously: "Is this bacon?"

"Get the bowl yourself!" Wang Zhong glanced at Ma Renli. He had already pushed aside the bacon with a small wooden spatula, turned over the steaming rice to cover the bacon, and after a few flips, the bacon and rice were mixed together. The oozing fat gave the rice a glossy color, and the rich aroma of meat and rice stimulated Ma Renli's taste buds wantonly, and the body fluid in his mouth kept secreting, and he swallowed it again and again.

Quickly scooped up a bowl full of rice for himself, Ma Renli didn't ask where Wang Zhong got the rice from, and immediately poured it into his mouth in big gulps, regardless of how hot it was. The unique salty and fragrant aroma of bacon, I haven't eaten such a good thing in half a year, Ma Renli was so excited that he almost shed tears.

Wang Zhong opened the bottle of Laobaigan and poured a bowl for himself and Ma Renli: "What do you want from me?"

Ma Renli paused for a while, quickly chewed the rice in his mouth a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach: "It's something to do, come on, let's have a bowl first." As he spoke, he had already picked up the wine bowl. A charming smile on his face.

Just like Ma Renli, if it goes back seven or eight years, it will definitely be a traitor.

The two held a bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

While speaking, Wang Zhong picked up a chopstick and scrambled eggs with chives, and took a big mouthful of rice.

Ma Renli smiled again, and said, "There are only four people in our mutual aid team. I just want to ask if we can add another one!"

"One more? You mean Qiao Yue?" Ma Renli raised his buttocks, and Wang Zhong knew what shit he was doing.

"Hey hey hey!" Ma Renli laughed, shy.

Wang Zhong asked: "Isn't Qiao Yue in the same group as Niu Bold?"

Except for Wang Zhong and his group at the beginning, the mutual aid groups formed by other people in the village are basically divided according to where they live, and neighbors form a group.

"I'm just asking, asking!" Ma Renli said.

"Come on, it's just that little bit of innocence in your heart, it's like who doesn't know." Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, a bitch is ruthless, and an actor is ruthless. You have read so many books, haven't you heard of this?" reason?"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, the voices of the three monkeys suddenly came from the courtyard: "Brother Big Chong! Brother Big Chong!"

"It's inside the house!" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, the three monkeys had already arrived at the door.

"Ma Renli, why are you here?" Seeing Ma Renli, the three monkeys were a little surprised.

"Renyi!" Ma Renli greeted the three monkeys with a smile.

"Leave him alone, Three Monkeys, what are you looking for?" Wang Zhong asked directly.

The three monkeys sat on the round stool by themselves, and said with a smile, "Brother Big Chong, Mrs. Jinhua also wants to join our mutual aid group, so I'll hurry over and ask you."

"Brother Big Chong, don't look at Mrs. Jinhua as a woman, but she works hard and is much better than some people!" The three monkeys hurriedly said good things for Mrs. Jinhua, and when they said this, they did not forget to glance at Ma Renli, His eyes were full of disdain.

Ma Renli curled his lips, didn't dare to say anything, and continued to eat with his head buried.

Wang Zhongdao: "No problem, it's really not easy for Mrs. Jinhua to be a widow. Our team has a lot of labor, so it's no problem to add Mrs. Jinhua."

The three monkeys suddenly had a new smile on their faces, and said, "Thank you Brother Big Chong!"

"You're welcome, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, eat some."

The three monkeys looked at the delicious scrambled eggs with leeks and rice, swallowed a few times, shook their heads and said, "No, no, no, I've eaten it, you eat slowly, I have to tell Mrs. Jinhua the good news quickly!"

As soon as he said that, he ran away impatiently.

"Sister-in-law Jinhua is fine, but what about Qiao Yue?" As soon as the three monkeys left, Ma Renli couldn't wait to ask.

"You can join if you want, but let me say it first. I won't spoil her like Niu Bold. The work assigned to her must be done. If she can do it, I welcome her to join our mutual aid group." .”

In fact, Qiao Yue had come to Wang Zhong long before Ma Renli came, but after Wang Zhong stated his conditions, Qiao Yue hesitated.

Although Niu Bold is a little rough, but he knows how to pity her and cherish her. She has done a lot of hard work for her, but looking at Wang Zhong's posture, if Qiao Yue comes to Wang Zhong's mutual aid group, he will have to do a lot of work in the future Qiao Yue did it by herself.

"Okay! It's fine with your words!" Ma Renli also immediately beamed with joy, with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to pour wine for Wang Zhong, and offered Wang Zhong another bowl.

It's a pity that Ma Renli is destined to be empty this time when fetching water from the bamboo basket. With Qiao Yue's lazy and slippery temperament, how could he agree? Those who have no strength to restrain a chicken don't know anything about farm work, and they are still learning from Wang Zhong's ass. They are also weak and have little strength.

Sure enough, after that episode, Ma Renli never mentioned this matter again.

Looking at autumn, the corn, peanuts, and soybeans in the field are coming to the harvest season.

Suddenly, there was a riot in the county for returning home groups.

Zhou Yihu came back from a meeting in the county, and called everyone to the meeting with a serious face. He said that there were home-returning groups in many places in the county. In some localities, they specifically killed the activists and core members of the land reform, village cadres, etc., and robbed food and money.

Zhou Yihu personally led the militia team organized by the village to strengthen the security, and set up a lot of guard posts outside the village, so as not to be unnoticed by the return team when they found the village at night, and asked the militiamen to carry weapons and ammunition with them, even in an emergency , can also provide immediate support.

Wang Zhong received a handful of [-] caps and ten rounds of ammunition, and was assigned to be on duty in the first half of the night to patrol every three days.

There are more than a dozen militia members, alternating day and night, and three shifts.

Due to the special geographical location of Maixiang Village, there is only one road to enter and exit the village, so there is no need to deploy defenses on all sides. As long as manpower patrols are arranged on the main roads entering and leaving the village, and the gong is sounded as soon as the alarm is found, the village can receive the news in time. Organize manpower vigilance at the first time.

On the afternoon of the [-]th day of August, a warning gong sounded suddenly at the entrance of the village. Niu Bold, the chairman of the peasant association, led his people to ring the bell to gather the villagers, telling them to hide in the village office.

As a member of the militia, Wang Zhong was good at marksmanship, so he was called over by Zhou Yihu's messenger early on.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, a warning sound suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village.

Zhou Yihu immediately rushed to support with the rest of the militiamen.

Sure enough, outside the temporarily built fortifications during this period, a group of people in different clothes and holding firearms of different lengths were quickly heading towards Maixiang Village.

Holding the binoculars, Zhou Yihu's face gradually darkened: "There are a lot of people on the other side, there may be nearly a hundred people!"

Zhou Yihu's tone was very dignified. On the one hand, the opponent's strength was several times that of his own, second, there was no favorable terrain, and third, his own ammunition was limited.

Wang Wanchun swallowed, and said anxiously: "Even including the militiamen from our village, we have less than 30 people in total. Can we stop them?"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" Zhou Yihu said decisively: "We have limited ammunition and manpower, so we must be careful and tell the big guys to take their positions. Use my gunshots as an order. If I didn't shoot, no one is allowed to shoot!" Gun, bring the enemy closer before hitting!"

"Captain Zhou, my marksmanship is accurate, can you give me more bullets!" Wang Zhong walked up to Zhou Yihu and asked Zhou Yihu with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Yihu looked at the smiling Wang Zhong and asked in surprise.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not the main force with well-equipped equipment. At most, they have light machine guns in their hands. I'll shoot at their machine gunners and leaders later!"

"Okay! I've made the decision, and I'll give you ten more bullets." Zhou Yihu patted Wang Zhong's shoulder, and said proudly, "If you play well, I'll give you more bullets!"

"Captain Zhou, don't worry, just watch!" Wang Zhong said confidently while lying behind the fortifications, facing Zhou Yihu sideways, patted his chest.

"Okay, people are coming!" Zhou Yihu's complexion changed, and his face became serious: "Get ready!"

Wang Zhong had already filled the five bullets, pulled the bolt, and pushed the bullets into the chamber.

Time seems to have slowed down a lot. Wang Zhong closed his eyes, and the scene of desperately fighting the enemy on the Southwest battlefield in Fanghua World appeared in his mind. There was no fear in his heart. As long as Zhou Yihu gives an order, Wang Zhong can shoot with his head immediately.

"Hit!" Zhou Yihu yelled loudly, and the box cannon in his hand fired first.

Wang Zhong poked his head out quickly, his eagle-like gaze swept over the forwards of the Home Returning Regiment more than ten meters away, and instantly locked on one person, pulled the trigger, and then quickly pulled the bolt, ejected the bullet and loaded it. He fired five shots, quickly emptied the bullets in the gun, retracted immediately, buried his body low, and retracted behind the fortifications.

Tens of meters away, five members of the Home Returning Mission, holding rifles and bending their knees and carefully groping forward, were directly shot in vital parts such as the neck, chest, and forehead.

"Hidden!" The leaders of the Home Return Mission shouted the moment they heard the gunfire.

It's a pity that there was already a row of flames behind the fortification, and the sound of gunfire crackled. In just a moment, seven or eight pioneers who led the Home Returning Mission fell down.

There is no way, like Wang Zhong, who has level [-] marksmanship, and his physical fitness is six times that of ordinary people. There is only one Wang Chong in the audience. Even Zhou Yihu's marksmanship is average, and the guns in his hands are seriously worn out. , the distance is a little farther, it is just random marksmanship.

But if you hit a place with a lot of people, you can always hit a few unlucky ghosts.

Gunshots sounded instantly from the opposite side, and bullets whizzed towards their side. After a while, there was also the sound of machine guns.

Wang Zhong listened for a while, and after roughly determining the position and distance of the machine gunner, he held the [-] cap that was reloaded and loaded, took a deep breath, and quickly got up to grab it, aiming at the machine gunner that burst into flames. The gunman retracted immediately after firing a shot.

The light machine gun, which was still venting bullets just now, immediately stopped firing as if it had been muted.

Zhou Yihu was a veteran guerrilla fighter who had joined the guerrillas since the War of Resistance. He immediately organized a counterattack and suppressed firepower.

The two sides came and went, Wang Zhong fired a few shots and then changed positions. Every time a shot was fired, one member of the returning home team would fall down.

The one-eyed dragon who was shouting and giving orders with a box cannon just now was shot by Wang Zhong in the remaining eye, and died on the spot.

Wang Zhong's marksmanship was too sharp. After killing more than a dozen people, Zhou Yihu also noticed the situation on Wang Zhong's side. He couldn't help shouting excitedly, and immediately took advantage of this great opportunity to organize the soldiers to fight back.

The Returning Home Regiment is not a regular army at all, but a group of bandits and hooligans, plus some big households who escaped and were not liquidated. It is a mixed team. Except for two light machine guns, the other equipment is no different from that of the militia. .

The two machine guns were silenced by Wang Zhong alone. If anyone dared to go over to take over Wang Zhong, they would call their names directly.

Wang Zhong nodded to the members of the Home Returning Group one by one. The night couldn't stop Wang Zhong's sharp eyes. His marksmanship was so sharp that it was shocking. Seeing the people around him fall down one by one, the members of the Home Returning Group shrank back one after another. Don't dare to stand up.

But after more than ten minutes of effort, the Home Returning Mission couldn't resist.

Nowadays, people are starting to run away. If there is one thing like running away, there will be two. These bandits and tyrants are not the soldiers who have firm beliefs and are not afraid of life and death. Once this opening is opened, the team immediately becomes chaotic.

Not to mention that there is a commander who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and realizes that there is a sharpshooter with excellent marksmanship on the opposite side, and immediately clamors to retreat.

Zhou Yihu seized the opportunity and organized the soldiers to throw grenades. A dozen grenades were thrown out at once. One leg, ran forward desperately, and some smart ones simply threw away their guns, instead of running with the large army, they ran directly into the wild, and when they ran far away, they just lay down on the ground.

Zhou Yihu asked Wang Wanchun to lead a team to stay behind, and he personally led Wang Zhong and ten to catch up.

Even while running, Wang Zhong's marksmanship is also extremely sharp, every time he shoots, someone will fall down, every time a child is shot.

After chasing for seven or eight miles, he saw a long dragon in front of him from a distance. At this time, it was completely dark and he couldn't see who was coming. Zhou Yihu immediately stopped all the soldiers and hid on the spot, not daring to chase any more. If something goes wrong, immediately lead people back.

It didn't take long before gunshots rang out ahead, and the gunshots stopped after a while. Zhou Yihu told the soldiers to stand by, and he took Wang Zhong and the others to check the situation in person.

After the meeting, it was confirmed that the team that came was the county brigade, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain Zhou, you can do it. You are only in the twenties, and you have been defeated by the Home Returning Squad, and you have chased them so far! Amazing!" Chen Dakui, the captain of the Second Division of the County Brigade, came to support him.

"It's all thanks to Comrade Wang Zhong!" Zhou Yihu said with emotion, he couldn't help admiring Wang Zhong's marvelous marksmanship.

In a small-scale battle like this, the role of a sharpshooter can top a platoon.

After hearing what Zhou Yihu said about the battle process, Chen Dakui's eyes lit up immediately, just like a hungry wolf smelling the smell of meat, his eyes searched among the people behind Zhou Yihu.

"Which one is Comrade Wang Zhong?"

"Hello, Chief!" Wang Zhong stepped out of the crowd in two steps, raised his chest and raised his head, and saluted a very standard military salute.

Looking at the tall and burly Wang Zhong, Chen Dakui smiled and said, "Wang Zhong informed you how many enemies you killed just now?"

"26, I counted them all!" Wang Zhong said.

"26?" Chen Dakui gasped and gave a thumbs up: "Comrade Wang Zhong, are you interested in coming to our county brigade!"

"I said Chen Datou, there is no one like you, who would dig my people in front of me!" Zhou Yihu quit, but Chen Dakui's head is indeed quite big.

"Which one of us is with whom? What are we doing so clearly?" The two began to argue as they spoke.
