I don't know if it's all the same, or if the old branch secretary did it on purpose, the few houses that took Ye Lin and the two of them to go to were all particularly difficult.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the pot cannot be opened, watching these families lack clothes and clothing, lack food and eat less, to be honest, Ye Lin does not have a taste in his heart.

But he can't help it, because there are too many such families in the country, and there are even too many that are not as good as here.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything, he could help ten hundreds, or even thousands, but could he help all such families?

It's impossible, it's too much, even if he takes out all his money, he can't help one-tenth.

And this is just a temporary help, that is, what others call giving people fish.

He even said that if he did what he did, it is estimated that he would be poorer in a few years than now, because people are inert, and they don't know how to cherish what they get too easily.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ye Lin to do that, but since he has encountered it, it is impossible for Ye Lin not to help, but this gang also depends on how to help.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, so Ye Lin has to think of a way, and Ye Lin is a businessman, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial.

You can help, but you also have to have benefits, this is called a win-win situation, not only to help the people, but also to benefit yourself, why not!

Because they had to go to other villages in the afternoon, the two of them had dinner at the old branch secretary's house at noon, there was no meat, and the best dish was scrambled eggs.

And it doesn't look like a lot, at most it's three or four eggs.

The old branch secretary has a lot of children, six or seven, but he and his wife live with their youngest son.

Coupled with the family of five of the youngest son of the old branch secretary, a total of nine people fried three vegetables, and two were green vegetables grown by their own family.

Of course, there is also a cold cucumber, which is also grown by the old branch scribe himself, not the slender cucumber sold in later generations, but a thick and short cucumber.

This kind of cucumber Dì Dū does not have it, so there is no such cucumber in Ye Lin's space, in his previous life, Ye Lin ate this kind of cucumber, which is particularly delicious, especially when eaten raw.

Sweet and crunchy, the cucumber seeds are a little sour, but not particularly sour, just a little sour, and eating makes people feel refreshed.

"Come, Comrade Ye, eat this. The old branch secretary hadn't eaten yet, so he first sandwiched a piece of egg for Ye Lin.

"Thanks, I'll do it myself. ”

"This is an egg laid by my own home-grown chicken, eat more. ”

"Hmm!"

The youngest son of the old branch secretary has three children, the three children are not old, the eldest is only seven or eight years old, and the youngest looks like he is four or five years old at most.

The three children, two boys and one girl, but the three children seemed to be very sensible, and none of them went to pick up the eggs, and they all ate the greens, because they knew that the eggs were for the guests.

"Comrade Ye hasn't eaten this! The old branch secretary brought the stove head over and recognized Ye Lin as taking the nest head inside.

The stove head, as the locals call it, is actually a basket full of sorghum stalks, which is specially used to hold steamed buns.

"Old branch secretary, don't say that, I've eaten this, and I've eaten a lot. ”

"Ah! Comrade Ye has also eaten this?"

"Of course, not only did I exceed it, but I guess my brother also ate it. Ye Lin looked at Ye Kai and said.

Ye Kai nodded and said, "Well, I have eaten it, but it is not made with sweet potato flour, but with cornmeal and sorghum flour." ”

"Ah, have you also eaten wowotou?" asked the old branch secretary looking at the two people incredulously.

"I've eaten, and who hasn't eaten wowotou at my age. Ye Lin said with a smile.

"That's right. The old branch secretary nodded.

At that time, no matter what family you were, you ate centimeters in the countryside and rations in the city, what if you didn't have enough to eat, so many people tried their best to get some wild vegetables and add some sweet potato noodles to make a nest.

And this is still talking about the countryside, the city wants to find wild vegetables can't be found, can only gnaw cornmeal and sorghum rice to make the kind of nest, hard enough to smash dogs.

In particular, the wowotou made of sorghum flour and sweet potato flour is black and carbon-like, but it is also the most popular because it is cheap.

Especially in college, this kind of nest doesn't cost money, in order to take care of people with family difficulties, but there are also numbers, and it is not for you to eat casually.

Ye Lin has seen and eaten it, but he just tasted it, and he couldn't gnaw it at all, so he had to soak it in boiling water and eat it.

Of course, if the mouth is good, you can also gnaw, but it is very troublesome.

"Come on, kid, eat this. Watching the little girl nibble on the nest and clip a little greens, Ye Lin gave the scrambled eggs that the old branch secretary had just given him to the little girl.

"No...... No. The little girl quickly shook her head.

"It's okay, Uncle gave you food. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the little girl looked at her grandparents, then at her parents, and saw that they didn't say anything, so she handed over the bowl and took the scrambled eggs.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"You're welcome, let's eat it!" Ye Lin rubbed the little girl's head and said.

Of course, Ye Lin did not forget the other two children, and each of them gave them a chopstick.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Ye Lin is like this, he would rather not eat than see the child unable to eat.

But he also knows that it is very important for rural people to regard eggs, because eggs can be exchanged for money on the street, and generally no one is willing to eat them.

If it weren't for the important guests at home, no family would be willing to eat, but even so, only a few would be fried, enough for the guests to eat.

"Comrade Ye, don't worry about the children, you eat by yourself. The old branch secretary said to Ye Lin.

"Old branch secretary, I haven't eaten anything! Forget the eggs, give them to the children! When the children are growing up. ”

"This ......"

The old branch secretary wanted to say something, but Ye Kai interrupted him and said, "Old branch secretary, my brother is right, we adults can eat anything, but the child is growing up." ”

gnawing on the black and white nest head, eating green vegetables without oil, although there is no taste, Ye Lin eats very fragrant.

This is definitely not pretending, Ye Lin really feels very fragrant, he has forgotten how many years he hasn't eaten this.

Of course, one or two meals are okay, if you eat every day, you can't do it, but looking at the old branch secretary's family, regardless of adults and children, there is no change in the face when eating, and it should be eaten often.

After eating, the old branch secretary's lover and daughter-in-law cleaned up the table, and Ye Lin asked at this time: "Old branch secretary, this wheat should have just come down!

"Brother, you may not know that there is a big drought in our county this year, and the harvest is not very good, and many families are enough to pay public grain, even if some families have a little left, there is not much, and it is estimated that it will be enough to eat for a few days during the New Year. ”

"Ah, do you still have to pay the public grain in the drought?" Ye Lin looked at Ye Kai and asked, because Ye Kai was the head of a county.

In such a situation, he, the head of a county, should do something, such as reacting to the top, or reporting to the top.

"Brother, what are you looking at me for? It's not for me to decide. ”

Of course, Ye Lin knew that this was not something that Ye Kai could decide, but he still said, "You can't decide, but you can report to the top?"

"Brother, do you think I don't have it! Not only this year, but almost every year in the past few years, I have reported to the top, but it is useless. ”

"Why is it useless?" Ye Lin asked with a frown.

"Brother, now the whole country is about the same, even if some places are better, but they are limited, you can't open this opening for a Caizhou County!"

"This ......" Ye Lin didn't know what to say.

If Caizhou County opens this opening, and other places do the same, then who will pay the public grain, this is really more troublesome.

Ye Lin didn't think about proposing to the old man to exempt him from paying public food, but after thinking about it, it was basically impossible.

If we don't pay public grain, it is estimated that the state will not even be able to pay our wages.

Left and right said that the reason why future generations can be exempted and subsidized is because the country has money and does not need to pay public grain at all.

But for now, the difference is far away, because of Ye Lin's relationship, the old man's effect of letting some people get rich first is more than ten times better.

There are at least ten times more people who are rich than in previous lives, but don't forget who those people are, they are from the city.

It can be said that it has nothing to do with the countryside, so Ye Lin has to do something, at least he has to use Caizhou County to make a model.

In the afternoon, Ye Lin and Ye Kai followed the old branch secretary to go around several nearby villages, and they were basically the same.

There are some families that raise chickens, but Ye Lin didn't see anyone raising pigs, Ye Lin knew that it was because there was no food for the pigs.

Some people say that cutting pigweed, it is in the mountains, or there are mountains nearby, but here is a plain, even if there is a little grass in the ditch or on the side of the road, it is not necessarily pigweed.

Even if there is pigweed, and there are a few months, what to do in autumn and winter, it is not to feed food, no one has to eat, and they still go to feed the pigs!

It was almost six o'clock when the two of them drove back.

As soon as the car started, Ye Kai turned his head and glanced at Ye Lin and said, "Brother, I see that you put money to the old branch secretary, how much did you put it?"

"It's not much, just ten yuan, which is the food money for our brothers. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Ye Kai shook his head and said, "Brother you have money, and I am ready to put it, but seeing that you let it go, I didn't put it again, but I can't put it that much." ”

"It's just a thought, it doesn't matter how much. ”

"Yes, it doesn't matter how much, but I go to the countryside a lot, don't say put ten yuan at a time, even if I put one piece at a time, I can't afford to put it!"

"Uh, how much money do you leave for dinner at the people's house?"

"Five cents at most, and it depends on what you eat. ”

Hearing Ye Kai say this, Ye Lin nodded, because he knew that Ye Kai's salary was not high, and this was Central Plains Province, and there was no way to compare the salary with Dì Dū.

It's also at the department level, and in Dì Dū, you can get 200 yuan a month, but here, it is estimated that you can't get 100 yuan.
