There is a very ordinary family of five in Dazhangli, Haifeng County. The father Zhang Shisan, the mother Zhang Xiaohua, the eldest son Zhang Shun, the second son Zhang Ping, and the younger daughter Zhang Yun.

The five members of the Zhang family do not have their own farmland, so they can only make a living by renting land from landlords. They have to work on other things on weekdays. They are busy from morning to night every year, and the five members of the family cannot eat enough every day. Fortunately, the five members of the family live well.

There was also something that made Zhang Shisan and Zhang Xiaohua very troubled. The eldest son Zhang Shun was already eighteen years old and should have married and have children. However, the Zhang family had no money to let the eldest son get married. He said that he would "exchange" with other poor families. Other people's daughters would marry them, and in the future, their own daughters would marry their sons.

Originally, the five members of the Zhang family thought that their family would continue to live in such a poor life, but they did not expect that the Zhang family's life would change. On that day, a working clan of the People's Army came to Dazhangli to publicize and introduce the People's Army to the people of Dazhangli, and also told all the people that the People's Army would distribute farmland to all the people of Dazhangli.

"Distribute farmland?" Hearing this news, the four members of the Zhang family looked disbelieving. Only the youngest daughter, Zhang Yun, is still young and ignorant, and will not express his own opinions.

They don’t know what the People’s Army is, they only know the landlords and the official. In their eyes, the landlords and the official domineering master are very vicious. Every autumn harvest, they have to take away most of the harvest from the Zhang family. The remaining food is not enough for a family of five to eat for a year.

Zhang Shisan and Zhang Xiaohua's biggest wish is to own their own farmland, so that they will not have to be charged high rent by the landlords. Now some people say that the People's Army has driven away both the landlords and the officials. All of them have to distribute the land and live a good life, and no one dares to believe it easily.

After not believing it, the Zhang family had a little more hope, hoping that this was true. Just as two days passed, the people who wanted to allocate farmland to the people of Dazhangli came back. All five members of the Zhang family were dispatched and surrounded the five-person working group of the People's Military Government with all the people of Dazhangli.

With the staff's guarantee and affirmation, the people in Dazhang only let go of five people and respectfully invited them into the village.

"All adults are granted farmland equivalent to four acres of medium-sized fields, and minors are granted farmland equivalent to two acres of medium-sized fields..."

Hearing this, Zhang Shisan, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Shun were all calculating how much farmland their family of five could obtain. Even if the arithmetic was not good, they could calculate that their family could obtain farmland equivalent to 16 acres of medium-sized fields.

"We can have enough farmland in the future, and we can eat meat and wear new clothes." The second son is already fantasizing about a better life in the future. In the words of the second son, Zhang Shisan and Zhang Xiaohua also have some fantasy scenes in their minds.

Zhang Shun did not fantasize about these things, and he focused on the next sentence of the staff.

"If someone wants to join the People's Army, he can get an additional ten acres of farmland equivalent to medium-sized fields..."

At the age of sixteen, many people get married and have children. However, Zhang Shun is already eighteen years old, and it is still a long way from getting married and having children. Even if the farmland distributed by the People's Army is obtained, Zhang Shun will have to wait a few more years if he wants to get married and have children.

Don’t forget that Zhang Shun and his younger brother Zhang Ping. After a few years, Zhang Shun got married and had children. At that time, Zhang Ping was also an adult. When it was time to get married and have children, the Zhang family probably wouldn’t have much financial resources to let Zhang Ping get married and have children in a few years.

"If you join the People's Army, you can get ten acres of farmland. If you are promoted or made a meritorious service, you can get more farmland. If I have more than ten acres of farmland, I can get married immediately." Zhang Shun thought to himself.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shun is unable to make a decision yet. Joining the People's Army will definitely leave Da Zhangli and stay away from his parents, brothers and sisters. Zhang Shuncong has not left Da Zhangli since he was born.

Two more days passed, and the Zhang family's farmland was finally allocated. Zhang Shisan would go around the farmland every few hours and smiled foolishly at the farmland.

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Ping also had a smile on their faces. The young Zhang Yun looked at his family and was happy, and he was also happy. Only Zhang Shun had few smiles on his face and hesitated many times. The next day, Zhang Shun finally made a decision that he would join the People's Army!

Getting more farmland to get married and have children is the main reason Zhang Shun joined the People's Army. Secondly, Zhang Shun was attracted by the purpose and obligations of the People's Army. Zhang Shun also wanted to join the People's Army to defeat all the landlords and Laocai who bullied the poor and overthrew the Ming Dynasty that oppressed the poor and the poor. The Zhang family was oppressed and exploited by the landlords and the government for too long. Zhang Shun finally had the opportunity to resist.

After making up his mind, Zhang Shun told his father and mother what he thought. As a woman, Zhang Xiaohua didn't have much, and in the end, Zhang Shisan, who was his father, had to make an idea.

"Shun'er, it may be possible for people to die if they join the People's Army." Zhang Shisan said with a sigh.

"Dad, I'm not afraid. I can get ten acres of farmland if I join the People's Army. Even if I can't come back, these ten acres of farmland are still ours. I believe I will be able to come back alive, and I can still make more contributions to the People's Army and gain more farmland." Zhang Shun pretended to be very confident and said to his father.

"Go, you are old, it's time to go out and make a fortune." Zhang Shisan finally agreed to Zhang Shun to join the People's Army. After all, the Zhang family has a second son, so there is no problem in continuing the family line. If the eldest son can make a fortune outside, even if he dies, Zhang Shisan will have the face to face the ancestors below the nine springs.

Although farmers are small, they also have the desire to become landlords.

After the People's Army allocated farmland to the people of Dazhangli, most of the people were interested in the People's Army, and the recruitment was also going smoothly. Zhang Shun was just one of the people in Dazhangli who wanted to join the People's Army. Zhang Shun's peers, older than Zhang Shun and younger than Zhang Shun, wanted to join the People's Army.

Of course, those who are willing to join the People's Army are mainly like Zhang Shun's family. There are two brothers, one joins the People's Army and the other stays at home. Even if the one who joins the People's Army has an accident, there is another one in the family, which will not affect the family line and can support their parents.
