Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 239 Unusual
"Did it say when the orderlies would be sent over?"

Jiang Defu glanced at Jiang Kuncheng and asked directly.

"This... this is not."

Jiang Kuncheng paused for a moment and said sarcastically.

You don't know when we will be sent here, why are you trying to make a big deal?
Jiang Defu couldn't help but complained in his heart.

From his observations during these times, he has discovered that although the higher-ups attach great importance to staying on Songshan Island, they cannot afford it because they have no money.

When people are poor, they are stingy and start saving on all kinds of things.

Although it is not difficult for the above to send a division of troops, what is difficult is what to do with these troops eating, drinking and sleeping?
Day after day, year after year!That's not a small expense.

Nowadays, everything is difficult. The food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by the higher authorities are just enough, and there is very little leftover.

For every additional person, one person must be given more rations. In order to save so-called rations and expenses, the higher-ups can be careful about the cost of personnel.

Generally speaking, teams stationed in local areas on land often need to be self-sufficient, except for a small amount of food, clothing, housing and transportation supplements.

Many large garrison teams will reclaim wasteland, plant crops, and in some places even spin and weave cloth to meet some daily needs.

Because these people have to settle on Songshan Island first, and whether the island is suitable for growing crops, and the most important fresh water resources, it is a big problem.

All of these require support from above in the early stage, so it is not due to personnel, but the most important reason is the cost, which is very large.

The reason why the higher-ups persisted for so many years and did not station troops on Songshan Island was ultimately due to poverty and austerity. How could they have the energy to do so many things?
If we didn't consider that this location is related to the security of important cities in the north, we would definitely not be willing to invest.

Previously, Wang Zhenbiao took away most of the supplies, especially medical supplies, because of the difficult conditions on the island in the early stage.

Each person's supplies must occupy at least one and a half people's supplies allocated above. The people they left behind are actually counting food and drink.

Fortunately, Jiang Defu led some soldiers to work with the nearby villagers to plant crops and do whatever they could. Sometimes they could even have a meal at the villagers' homes, which also saved a lot of money.

Jiang Kuncheng saw that the young master had never experienced hardship and rarely came to the countryside. For him, this visit was equivalent to going to the countryside to exercise and endure hardship.

Jiang Defu has already felt his dissatisfaction with the life here. After all, he eats all kinds of grains and eats carefully. It is definitely a kind of training for this young master.

His biggest hope now is to finish this errand as much as possible so that he can return to his city and enjoy his normal life.

He can just pat his ass and leave, but what will happen to them in the future?
Jiang Defu had expected that even if they stayed on Songshan Island, they would not send many orderlies to help.

The goal is probably to make them self-sufficient.These people not only have to protect coastal security, but they also probably have to cultivate land and crops and build houses, and they have to do all kinds of work themselves.

Many of these soldiers are young and stupid. It is okay for them to fight on the battlefield and contribute a little, but they are still very poor in terms of technology and life.

I am afraid that future servicemen will also need to choose some from them. He is now letting these people learn to build houses, grow crops, make clay bricks, and bake bricks, in order to prepare for the follow-up.

Jiang Kuncheng saw Jiang Defu's serious face and was a little embarrassed.

Because they had previously favored Wang Zhenbiao and allowed Wang Zhenbiao to take away his position on the island, the boy must have been unconvinced for a long time. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Jiang Kuncheng is really worried that Jiang Defu will make a fuss.

It's not that he is afraid of Jiang Defu, after all, he also has power behind him, but it doesn't involve his own interests, so he doesn't need to offend so many people.

His mission is to do his current job well and explain to Deputy Political Commissar Zhao that he will be promoted if he can.

When he came out, his family repeatedly told him to be patient and not to offend others.Seeing Jiang Defu's insistence, he didn't want to provoke him anymore, so he could only say sarcastically: Then you can figure it out.

……

Without the interruption of Jiang Kuncheng, Jiang Defu continued to lead a group of people to the fishing village to learn about life experience at the seaside.

Of course, not everyone obeys this Counselor Jiang from the bottom of their hearts. Some people are a little disappointed that they were not selected as the vanguard by Counselor Wang, and are unwilling to follow this marginalized Counselor Jiang from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Defu did not impose any authority on these people. Instead, he selected a group of team members who were more active, willing to learn, and more flexible with his mind, and went together to learn techniques such as farming and building houses.

Because when you go to a fishing village and hang out with ordinary people, you can experience life. Sometimes you can also go fishing and improve your life.

Many soldiers are becoming more and more interested in this kind of life and are more active in it.

Jiang Defu also experienced rural life in his previous life, but he did not really go deep into it.

In addition, he was an inland person in his previous life and had not really experienced life in a fishing village in depth. He was also very unfamiliar with life at the seaside.

Jiang Defu has recently been following fishermen to learn how they build houses.

The fishing village close to the liaison station is called Sunzhuang Village. There are people with two surnames living here, some of whom are surnamed Sun, and some of whom are surnamed Ge.

During the Ming Dynasty, families surnamed Sun moved here to live, so it was named Sunzhuang Village. Later, some families surnamed Ge came. The descendants of the families surnamed Ge multiplied more vigorously, and the population gradually matched those of those surnamed Sun.

In the beginning, the family named Sun became the village chief and had the say in the village.

Later, some people from the Ge family began to go out to sea to do business and make a fortune, and the team gradually grew.

The man named Ge has held the right to speak in the village for hundreds of years.

In the 40s and [-]s, Ge Dawang had the surname Ge.The business is getting bigger and bigger, and the fishing boats in the surrounding villages are basically owned by their family, and they are known as the fishing king of the generation.

Later, when the situation changed, Ge Dawang was designated as a fishing tyrant, and his family's business gradually collapsed.

At first, the person named Ge kept a low profile in the village. After Ge Dawang passed away, his descendants even lived with their tail between their legs.

The man named Sun once again has the right to speak in the village.

Today, the village chief is Sun Laifa, the patriarch of the clan named Sun.

Sun Laifa's second son, Sun Erzhu, was going to get married in the next year. Their family was building a house, so Jiang Defu led a group of soldiers to help him study.

When he arrived at the beach, Jiang Defu realized that there were really many things that needed to be paid attention to when building a house on the beach.

Building a house is not like in previous lives, or like on land, where you can build a foundation and other methods.Modify the soil quality at the selected location.

When building a house next to an island, it is very important to choose the location of the foundation.

Because the seaside can know whether the bottom is considered according to the soil quality. If you choose improperly, you may choose some places that are prone to subsidence, which is very unsafe for building a house.

There are also reasons why typhoons and seawater are highly corrosive, and the orientation of the house must also be considered. The problem is very complicated.

After selecting the home site and orientation, you also need to consider steps such as laying the foundation, building walls, raising beams, laying tiles, and moving into the new house.

When to break ground is also very important. If you want to find someone to check the wind and water, you will usually choose the moment when the tide is rising. Fishermen generally consider this time to be a good and auspicious day. The rising tide means wealth and prosperity. At this time, the ground is broken or the beam is raised. It means good luck and good fortune.

Mounting beams is also very particular. In addition to hanging red cloth, the owner also needs to tie the gods of heaven and earth. There are also people here singing beam songs and throwing steamed buns or descendant bags. Although the life is poor, it still seems to be lively and lively.

The village chief's house was naturally being built in a lively manner. In addition to the people led by Jiang Defu, people of all sizes in the village came to help.

Of course, most of them are named Sun, and a small number of people are named Ge.

Because today is the busiest time in Shangliang, all the girls and wives in the village, including the men, come to grab the steamed buns, peanuts and other foods from Shangliang.Jiang Defu had also seen it in his previous life. At that time in rural areas, living conditions were good in Shangliang. Many people threw away some good snacks, candies and biscuits. If the conditions were good, they would save some beef jerky, and some people even threw some small red envelopes and the like. .

The economic conditions in this era were poor, so all that was thrown away were small steamed buns and some peanuts and jujubes.

This thing may seem inconspicuous, but it is a precious thing in this era. You must know that many families don't have enough to eat. Unless the village chief's family is well-off, he really can't afford such a luxury.

So before I started setting off firecrackers, a lot of people were already surrounding me.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, food was scattered on the roof, and everyone started to grab it swarm.

Although life is difficult, the adults let the children gather together, and the ones in the middle are all grabbing for it. There are also some adults standing on the periphery, and they will go up and pick up some things when they find something to pick up.

It's just that in these scenes of grabbing things, it's easy for you to push me and me to grab things, and there will be disputes.

Soon, the noise of several children could be heard not far away, followed quickly by the cry of a child.

"Why are the people from the Yuba family here to steal things?"

There were sounds of older children shouting.

"The fisherman has plundered so many things. They are all bad things. Why does he come to rob us? Get him out quickly!"

Soon there were the sounds of several children arguing and fighting.

Jiang Defu saw a group of children surrounding a thin and dirty boy snatching things from his hands. The boy was also a stubborn boy and would not let go of things.

The adults on the side saw it but did not dissuade them, and just watched the fun with a smile.

Jiang Defu spent time in rural areas when he was a child, and he knows that rural areas are said to be simple, but in fact, they are the most naked place where the weak and the strong prey on each other.

In their minds, it is normal for the weak to eat the strong, and it is not a big deal for children to fight.

Even if older children bully younger children, if they don't care about their own business, they won't take the initiative to take care of it.

Everyone's attitude towards their children generally depends on their parents' position in the village.

But for children who are bullied, it may be a lifelong shadow.

"Ermao!"

Jiang Defu called out to the soldier beside him.

Er Mao is the youngest among the recruits trained by Jiang Defu after he arrived here.

The young man is only 14 years old, small in stature, but obedient and sensible.

Ordinarily, soldiers of his age would not be assigned to be stationed on Songshan Island this time.

It's just that this kid got separated from his family a few years ago and was taken in by the army to serve as a soldier. After staying in the army for 4 years, by some strange combination of circumstances, he actually found an uncle from his hometown. It happened that the uncle was from the local area and he was also a soldier. It's from a small village near this county.

Er Mao got separated from his uncle when he was begging with him, and his uncle had been looking for him for many years.

His uncle was in poor health and had a lame leg. He had never married or had any children and only had one relative, Ermao.

The young man was very smart, so he applied to the local garrison leader to be transferred to Songshan Island.

Anyway, they are all in the garrison. It does not mean that everyone must be particularly capable. The so-called strong soldiers are cultivated slowly. Ermao is very young and can be cultivated slowly in the future. The leader will be replaced if he is soft-hearted. He sent over.

Compared with other soldiers who wanted to be stationed on Songshan Island to compete for first place and performance, Xiao Ermao was relatively indifferent. His only request was to stay nearby as a soldier so that he could take care of his uncle in time when he returned.

Another reason why he strives to stay on Songshan Island is that he heard from his leader that in addition to garrisoning troops, many residents will be relocated to Songshan Island in the future. Of course, priority will be given to the families of soldiers.

When I'm not busy, I just think that after I stabilize on Songshan Island, I can take my uncle over, so that the uncle and nephew can live together.

After he recovers, he can continue to live on Songshan Island.

He is a fisherman and is used to island life.

Therefore, Er Mao was more positive about the things ordered by the leader. Because he was young, he naturally did not have the opportunity to go to Songshan Island for the first time, but he was still relatively practical and capable of the things that Staff Jiang asked him to do next.

Jiang Defu also likes this young man. Now Ermao is equivalent to Jiang Defu's orderly.

"chief of staff!"

Ermao, who was watching the excitement, jumped over immediately.

"Look what's going on, pull away those kids who are fighting!"

Jiang Defu immediately ordered.

"Niu Niu, put your things down, how can you hit someone?"

As soon as Jiang Defu finished speaking, a pretty figure wearing a floral top rushed over, pulled the group of children away, and scolded them softly.

"Stop grabbing it, Teacher Ge is here!"

a child shouted.

"What Teacher Ge, she is no longer a teacher! She is the daughter of Yuba!"

One of the older children retorted.

Jiang Defu looked up at the woman. She was wearing a headscarf, but her face was white and delicate, completely different from the tanned and rough-skinned village women around her.

She just heard those kids calling this woman their teacher. Could this be a school teacher?

Jiang Defu has been in this village for a few days and has discovered that there used to be a primary school in the village, but now it has been closed and students have suspended classes.

"Niu Niu, let's not grab these things, put them down quickly and come back with me!"

The woman wanted to teach those children a lesson just now, but when she heard someone say that she was the daughter of a fisherman, her face turned a little pale and she kept silent.

"Sister, I'm hungry, I want to eat!"

The little child named Niu Niu was reluctant to put down what he was holding.

The woman forcefully opened the child's hand, snatched the thing away, and pulled him away quickly through the crowd.

"Who is this?"

Jiang Defu asked the old man smoking a dry pipe beside him casually.

"Ge Meixia, the granddaughter of fishing tyrant Ge Dawang!"
