With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

"Commander! The village of Bina is just ahead, and there are no enemy troops guarding it!"

Commander Liu nodded, "Okay! Let's organize the soldiers to go into the village to rest!"

Zhou Yue followed the group into the village, and she found that this place was really poor!

The poverty is jaw-dropping and eye-opening!

Although everyone's life is not easy in this era.

Compared with the villages we passed before, Kebina Village is extremely poor.

Every household lived in a dilapidated thatched hut. There wasn't even a mud house, let alone a brick house.

Some families even only have one pair of decent pants, and whoever wants to go out wears it.

As for the other people in the room, their trousers were torn at the collar and not at all aesthetically pleasing. They couldn't even cover their bodies, and the flesh on their thighs and buttocks was exposed.

The villagers just stay in their houses and do little moving every day. Don’t they do farm work?

The lack of farm work is the root cause of their poverty.

Zhou Yue observed that in this village and the surrounding areas, there were rocks everywhere and no flat ground.

There are hundreds of households in the village, and the average per capita arable land is less than half an acre. How much food can be grown on half an acre of land? It's not even enough for one person!

The mental outlook of the folks here is completely different from that in the Miao village.

Everyone was so thin that they looked unrecognizable, and their pale faces showed signs of malnutrition.

In such a cold day, there are still half-naked children running outside. Their ribs are protruding, they are extremely thin, and their heads look abnormally large.

This village is the poorest one Zhou Yue has ever seen.

"Alas! The folks here have such a hard life!"

Chief Liu felt a little heartbroken when he saw everyone living such a miserable life.

He hated to see his fellow villagers suffer, especially the elderly.

The white-haired old people in the village were starving miserably. He couldn't bear it, so he said to the quartermaster minister next to him.

"These people are having a hard time. Let's give them some food to help them."

Chen Gang looked a little worried, but still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will arrange it."

Although we replenished a lot of supplies in the Miao village last time, it was difficult to find a place to restock while traveling through the mountains and forests.

During this period, the soldiers were able to eat enough and their physical condition was getting better and better, but Chen Gang was often worried that they would return to the days of hunger.

When the main force entered the village, it was already afternoon and dinner time was approaching in the blink of an eye.

The instructors of the 15th and 16th Battalions received orders from above that the task of cooking and distributing porridge to the villagers was given to their battalion’s cooking squad.

Chen Gang made a rough count in the village and found that there were more than 500 households in the entire village, and the total population should be at least two to three thousand.

He allocated a batch of food and sent it to the kitchens of the two battalions.

The kitchen teams of the two battalions started cooking in a wider area at the entrance of the village.

Cooking porridge does not require any technical skills. Zhao Dashan fetched several buckets of well water and then put the washed rice into the pot.

Everyone can just add firewood to the fire and stir the pot from time to time.

The news of distributing porridge has just been passed on to the villagers. The porridge is not yet cooked, but there is already a circle of people nearby.

The villagers, dressed in rags, gathered around, staring at the white porridge in the pot.

Saliva is secreted unconsciously, and some children's saliva even falls to the ground.

They didn't know how long it had been since they had tasted such white porridge.

Their daily meals consisted of potatoes that were rotten to the point of sprouting, mixed with wild vegetables they found everywhere.

Although there is little cultivated land here, wild grass grows densely between the cracks in the rocks.

The weather in Guizhou is warm. Although it is December, the temperature is not very low.

In the northern cities, the leaves have already fallen and everything is desolate, but in the mountains and forests of Guizhou, there is still lush greenery.

Fortunately, there are wild vegetables in the mountains and forests, otherwise, countless people would have starved to death.

Zhou Yue knew in her heart that hunger had driven the villagers to the point where they had no dignity at all. As long as they could have enough to eat, they didn't care about anything else.

When the porridge was almost ready, many soldiers came to maintain order and avoid looting and trampling.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, the villagers lined up in a long queue, holding their own broken and chipped bowls.

Zhou Yue took a spoon and served porridge to everyone. Seeing these skinny villagers, she felt very uncomfortable.

There were more villagers than expected. After all the porridge was distributed, there were still one or two hundred people who did not get any.

So they could only take some of the food from other soldiers and share it with everyone.

Many modern people think that white porridge is boring and not delicious at all, and they are fed up with just seeing it.

But for these hungry villagers, this is simply a delicacy.

After drinking, everyone licked the bowls clean, for fear of wasting even a bit of rice porridge.

Before dawn the next day, many villagers were already waiting at the place where porridge was distributed yesterday.

Minister of Military Affairs Chen Gang looked helpless and continued to ask Zhou Yue and others to cook porridge and distribute it.

When the villagers at the entrance of the village were holding their bowls and drinking steaming white porridge.

A quarrel that had never happened before broke out in the camp where the leaders were!
