Chapter 860: Hope Shoe Factory
"Because our brigade commander was begging for free to get the military pay and supplies that the government owed us from General Du."
"And General Du is happy because our brigade commander agreed to him for something."
"ah?"
Listening to Uncle Lao Gen's words, Fu Jing grew up and asked in surprise:
"That should be yours! Why do you have to spend so much effort?"
"It should be ours...haha!"
Uncle Lao Gen smiled bitterly. This little girl is still too simple. It’s theirs, but the government has to give it to you!
"We do have supplies, and we have them all the time, but what can we do if the government keeps holding them and says angrily?"
Uncle Lao Gen felt a little angry when he had a question.
"How could they not give it to me? Other troops have it!"
Fu Jing has never been to other troops, she has military pay and is not so short of weapons and equipment!
But what she didn't know was that all the troops she went to were Central Army and there were no other miscellaneous troops.
"Yes, it should be given, but the people from the government only gave us one sentence: Now all the troops in the country are short of supplies, and the government cannot provide so much for a while, so I owe it first. I hope that we will endure it for the sake of the anti-Japanese war plan!"
"You said that if you put a hat to maintain the united front and the anti-Japanese war plan, can we still get something?"
Uncle Lao Gen asked at Fu Jing, who showed an excited expression and shouted angrily:
"How can they do this? They are all Chinese troops and they are all fighting Japanese soldiers!"
The key is that the national government is wearing a hat now. If it is robbed, they will have to bear the charge of the conflict between the two sides.
If they don’t go, the government will definitely not fire a shot, but they are short of weapons and the soldiers are still waiting to fight the Japanese!
They can afford to wait, but the frontline can't, so they can only develop themselves.
"Yes, I wonder if you have heard a saying that our Chairman said!"
"It's called "no guns or cannons, the enemy makes it for us!"
"We snatched all the equipment from our independent brigade from the Japanese, and even our superiors did not send us any weapons."
"And most of this is attributed to our brigade commander, the bastard you call him!"
Uncle Lao Gen did not forget to emphasize in the end, and Fu Jing was stunned and thought to himself:
Is that bastard that powerful?
"have!"
Uncle Lao Gen nodded immediately as if he had seen what he was thinking.
"He is just a big bastard. You haven't seen him like a bandit, and you're talking about money all day long!"
Fu Jing was angry when she talked about Li Jian, but Uncle Lao Gen explained earnestly:
"Miss Fu, if you think our brigade commander likes money because of your own selfish desires, then you are wrong!"
"What? Didn't he ask for money for himself?"
"Of course not!"
Uncle Lao Gen shouted, if so, Li Jian would still stay in the army and would have pulled people out to make a fortune.
"All the weapons and equipment of our Independent Brigade are either taken out by our brigade commander or he bought them with shameless money, so our brigade commander opened his mouth and shut up all day long, but he really cares about the army!"
"Okay, we're almost here. Let's go in first and then tell you!"
Uncle Lao Gen finally saw them reaching the place and stopped the carriage.
At this moment, Fu Jing got off the carriage and saw that this was a bit quiet. You could go to the independent journey through this road, and you could usually go to the big ancient town.
I saw that the somewhat old yard in front of them, although the appearance was old, it was not as broken as I imagined!
It also gives people a sense of tranquility and serene, with a hint of innocence.
This is the first time Fu Jing has felt this way, I don’t know why.
There is a sign in front of the yard with a few big characters on it...
Hope shoe factory!
"Shoe factory?"
Fu Jing looked at Uncle Lao Gen with some confusion, not understanding why he brought him here.
"Yes, this is a special place for us to be independent."
After saying that, Uncle Lao Gen shouted into it:
"Sister Zhao, Sister Lu..."
After Uncle Lao Gen finished calling, the first one to rush out was a terrible child, about 1.4 meters tall, very cute, but there was a scar on his face!
"Hello Uncle Lao Gen!"
The young man immediately stood up to salute Uncle Lao Gen. At this moment, Fu Jing found that this was really just a child.
But she was wearing the Eighth Route Army uniform and a mullet hanging on her waist. She was a little confused about why a child had to join the army.
"It's Hu Zi! Why are you here too?"
Uncle Lao Gen said with a smile, and then Huzi came over to help Uncle Lao Gen move the things from the carriage.
After a while, two middle-aged women came out, one with the enthusiasm of a rural person, and the other with a somewhat elegant appearance, although the clothes they were wearing were a bit old.
One of the women was Zhao Yiyi's aunt, Zhao Xulan. Although he followed Lao Wang to the independent brigade and became much better, he simply came to help take care of the children. He needed people here, and there were already five or six women like them.
"Sister Zhao, Sister Lu!"
Uncle Lao Gen said hello, and then they moved all the things in and Fu Jing followed behind and walked in.
But as soon as she entered, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Because there are no adults here, more children, and they are all children aged seven or eight, three or four.
Most of them were holding some thatch in their hands, and were weaving some straw sandals and soles, and there were some simple steel tools next to them.
"Sister, you are so beautiful! What's your name?"
At this moment, a little girl looked up at Fu Jing in surprise and asked with one hand pulling his pants.
Looking at such a innocent child, Fu Jing couldn't help but become maternal. She picked up the cute little girl and asked:
"Little sister, where are your parents?"
"That!"
The little girl pointed to the sky and then continued:
"The factory director said that my parents have gone far away, just in the sky. When Xiaofei grows up, she can go to find them."
"ah!"
Fu Jing grew up and the little girl might not understand what that meant, but she knew it, so she looked at Uncle Lao Gen, but found that the latter's eyes were a little wet.
Immediately, Fu Jing knew something vaguely, then she choked up and hugged the little girl in her arms.
"Good Xiao Fei, come to my godmother's place! My sister has something to do!"
After saying that, a relatively young woman came over and carried Xiaofei down.
"Oh, Xiaofei is going to make shoes, goodbye sister!"
The little girl said well-behavedly. Fu Jing didn't know why, but she felt a little sad. She wanted to cry, but her eyes couldn't help but get wet.
"Okay, today the factory manager asked me to tell you that the straw sandals you made are very good! The soldiers were very satisfied with the clothes. He asked me to send you some things!"
Uncle Lao Gen wiped his eyes first, then shook the things in his hand and said with a smile.
All of a sudden these children became very happy.
