Hearing Ye Lin's words, Li Ran was not surprised, but shocked, yes, she was shocked, she was from here, how could she not understand this, although her parents were not far from here, they could meet several times a year.

Shocked to shocked, but Li Ran still didn't believe that Ye Lin said that he didn't go out at home to accompany him, it is estimated that he was either holding back something bad, or he didn't understand something.

"Son, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Mom, how can you not believe me? I'm your son. ”

Li Ran gave Ye Lin a roll of his eyes and said, "Just because you are my son, I asked you like this, because I know you too well." ”

"Ugh!"

Li Ran's words made Ye Lin speechless, because what his mother said was right, his mother knew herself too well, if she wasn't by her mother's side, then she might not know, but as long as she was by her side, then she would definitely be able to see it.

"Ye Lin, Ye Lin. ”

Just when Ye Lin didn't know how to answer his mother, Liu Wei shouted at the door of the backyard.

This guy usually calls Ye Lin a second fool, and the second fool shouts, the reason why he calls Ye Lin's name today is because he knows that Li Ran is at home, if Li Ran hears him call Ye Lin two stupid, there is no good fruit for him to eat.

"Mom, I'll take a look. ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Ye Lin got up from his chair, came to the door, opened the door, and asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"Ye Lin, someone is looking for you at the gate. ”

"Looking for me?"

"I don't know, it's an old man and a middle-aged man. ”

Just when Ye Lin was about to go out to have a look, Li Ran came out of the house and beckoned to Liu Wei, Liu Wei came over cautiously and shouted, "Teacher Li, what did you call me?"

"You just said that there was an old man and a middle-aged man looking for Ye Lin?"

"Yes, Mr. Li. ”

Hearing Liu Wei say this, Li Ran turned his head to look at Ye Lin and said, "Son, are you in trouble again?"

"No!" Ye Lin was also a little inexplicable, because he really didn't cause trouble during this period of time, and no one even provoked him, since no one provoked him, how could he cause trouble.

"No, what's going on?"

"I don't know, Mom, you wait in the house for a while, and I'll go out and have a look." ”

"I'll go with you. ”

"No need Mom, maybe people are looking for me for something else. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Li Ran frowned, but thinking that his son was mysterious every day, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go, if there is something, let someone call me." ”

"Got it. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Ye Lin and Liu Wei came to the gate of the courtyard together, and sure enough, there were two people waiting for him at the gate, when he saw these two people, Ye Lin ran over excitedly and shouted: "Old branch secretary, Uncle Da Kui, why are you here?"

That's right, the middle-aged man who came to find Ye Lin was the middle-aged man who took Ye Lin to their village to buy wild boars, and as for the old man, of course, he was the old branch secretary.

"Ye Lin, let's ......" The old branch secretary seemed to be a little unable to open his mouth.

Seeing the old branch secretary like this, Ye Lin still didn't understand, he must have encountered something difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find such a child as himself, of course, this is also because of the impression that Ye Lin left on them at the beginning.

What impression did Ye Lin leave on them, of course, they were rich and capable, at a young age, they rode a small bicycle they had never seen before, and they spent dozens of dollars to buy a little wild boar.

"Old branch secretary, Uncle Da Kui, in this way, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk. ”

"Ye Lin, you don't need to go in, I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave after speaking. The old branch secretary hurriedly stopped Ye Lin.

When Ye Lin left, he also said casually, saying that if there was any difficulty, he could go to the city to find him, to be honest, if it wasn't really no way, the old branch secretary would not come over anything.

"Okay, then let's go to the alley. ”

"Good. ”

Before leaving, Ye Lin turned back to Liu Wei who was standing behind and said, "Liu Wei, you go back and tell my mother, just say that an acquaintance is looking for me, and I will come back after going out for a while." ”

"Oh, good. ”

After Liu Wei entered, Ye Lin followed the old branch secretary to the entrance of the alley, and Uncle Da Kui drove the carriage behind.

After coming to the mouth of the alley, Ye Lin stopped, and after Uncle Da Kui came over, he asked, "Old branch secretary, Uncle Da Kui, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll take you to eat something first." ”

"No, no, we're not hungry. The old branch secretary hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

It's just past noon now, that is to say, just past the meal, the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui have come from so far away, they must not have eaten, how can they not be hungry, it is just modesty to say that they are not hungry.

The old branch secretary said that he was not hungry, but his stomach betrayed him, and as soon as he said that he was not hungry, his stomach rang, and he didn't think of being hungry just now, and his stomach screamed.

Ye Lin shook his head and said to Uncle Da Kui, "Uncle Da Kui, you find a place to tie up the horse, and we will eat here." Ye Lin pointed to the small restaurant next to him.

"......Ahh It's delicious!"

"Uncle Da Kui, look at what you said, of course it's really delicious. After Ye Lin finished speaking, he walked to the small restaurant.

The old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui glanced at each other and followed Ye Lin, but Uncle Da Kui was going to tie up the horse, so it was the old branch secretary who really followed Ye Lin.

Entering the small restaurant, Ye Lin asked the waiter, "Auntie, is there anything else to eat?"

"Yes, it's time to eat, how can you not eat. ”

"Those, bring us two meat dishes, an egg soup, and a pound of steamed buns. ”

"Okay. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute. ”

Just when the waitress aunt was about to go in to report the food, the old branch secretary called her.

"Do you want anything more?"

"No...... No, let's talk about it first. ”

After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he pulled Ye Lin aside and said, "Ye Lin, what kind of meat and vegetables do you want, just eat some of them." ”

"Old branch secretary, listen to me when you get here. ”

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned back to the waiter and said, "Auntie, we want those, you go and get busy, hurry up and give it to us." ”

"Good. ”

The old branch secretary still wanted to stop it, but the waitress aunt had already gone in.

At this time, Uncle Da Kui bolted his horse and came in from outside, patted the snowflakes on his body, looked at Ye Lin and the old branch secretary standing there, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Uncle Da Kui sits. ”

"Oh, good. ”

"Old branch secretary, you also sit. ”

After the three of them sat down, Ye Lin looked at the old branch secretary, then at Uncle Da Kui, and said, "Old branch secretary, Uncle Da Kui, say, what is the matter with you coming to me?"

"Alas!" Hearing Ye Lin ask, the old branch secretary sighed and said, "Ye Lin, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, we wouldn't have come to you." ”

"Old branch secretary, don't sigh! Tell me what is the matter?"

"Ye Lin, the village can't open the pot. ”

"Ahh

Ye Lin went to their village during the holiday, but a lot of food was grown in the village, according to Ye Lin's thoughts, even if he couldn't eat enough, he shouldn't be hungry, how could he not open the pot at this time.

"Ye Lin, I don't have to lie to you, that's right, a lot of grain was collected in the village in the autumn, but most of it was used to pay public grain, and there was really not much left. ”

"Smack!" Ye Lin slapped his head, how could he forget this.

Ye Lin lived in the 21 st century in his previous life, and in the 21 st century, not only did the peasants not need to pay the public grain, but the state also compensated the peasants.

"I'm sorry old secretary, I forgot to pay the public grain. ”

"This is normal, you children in the city, it would be good to know the public grain. ”

The old branch secretary is right, the children in the city really don't know what public food is, and Ye Lin, a guy from the 21st century, knows some, of course, he also knows it on the Internet, and he doesn't know it too well.

"Old branch secretary, is there no food at all?"

"No, if there is no winter, the situation is a little better, you can find some barley in the mountains, such as wild vegetables or something, but after the winter, the snow covers the mountains, even if you want to find something to eat, there is no more." The old branch secretary shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yes, Ye Lin, two days ago, everyone was hungry, and someone organized to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars, not only did the wild boars not hit, but also injured two people. ”

"That's right, old branch secretary, how much food do you need to survive this winter?"

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui glanced at each other, and the old branch secretary stretched out two fingers and said, "Two thousand catties, at least two thousand catties of cornmeal are needed to survive this winter." ”

"Two thousand catties?" Ye Lin frowned.

To tell the truth, the old branch secretary said that 2,000 catties is not much, don't forget, there are about 150 people in the whole village, 2,000 catties of cornmeal, and the average person is more than 13 catties.

This bit of food has endured a winter, and it is estimated that it is not enough to drink porridge every day, and it is also a particularly thin porridge, in the words of the older generation, as long as you don't die of hunger.

Seeing Ye Lin frowning, the old branch secretary misunderstood, and thought that Ye Lin did not have this ability, but also, although Ye Lin was wealthy, when was this, besides, Ye Lin was just a child.

hurriedly said: "Ye Lin, two thousand catties are not available, one thousand catties are fine, of course, even if there are no thousand catties, then there is nothing, let's think of other ways." ”

"Old branch secretary, you misunderstood, I was thinking about how two thousand catties were enough. ”

"Ahh......h Ye Lin, you ...... Are you saying that you have a way to get two thousand catties?" The old branch secretary's tears of excitement came out, and he couldn't help but cry, this is life-saving food.

Ye Lin must help with this favor, not to mention that the pigs raised by Ye Lin were bought from the old branch secretary, and the sweet potatoes that were planted were all taken from the old branch secretary's house.

In fact, even if there is no such thing, even if it is acquaintance, people find themselves, Ye Lin can't help but help with this.
