Chapter 103: Gu Yao Town
Guyao Town, a small town almost isolated from the outside world, does not even have public transportation.
Lin Ruoxue, who was standing in front of Gu Yao Town, was stunned, she couldn't imagine that Huaxia Country still had such a poor place.
The streets were full of potholes, the houses were almost entirely made of stones, and the clothes of the children on the streets were mended and mended.
"It's really such a poor place. ”
Ye Fan said calmly: "There are many poor places in Huaxia Country, and this is just one of them. ”
Ye Fan stepped forward to a child, "Little friend, where is your village chief?"
Seeing Ye Fan, the child took a step back timidly, "Red tile house." ”
Ye Fan smiled and touched his head, "Thank you." ”
Walking on the streets of Guyao Town, Lin Ruoxue has been observing the situation here, and she is really not optimistic, it is not so easy to solve the problems here.
"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"Let's go to the village chief to find out the situation first. ”
Soon, Ye Fan and the three of them came to the village chief's house, and there was only this red-tiled house in the entire Guyao Town, which was easy to find.
Ye Fan stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Is the village chief at home?"
A man in his fifties walked out, looked at Ye Fan, and said vigilantly: "I am the village chief, what's the matter with you?"
"We're from Luochuan City, and we want to know more about the situation here and see if there's anything we can do to help. ”
"Oh, you're here to do charity. The village chief looked suddenly, "You have also seen the situation here, you lack food but drink but wear, you just send more things, and you can't help anything else." ”
Ye Fan frowned, wanting to say something, but was preempted by Han Yuanyuan.
"Old man, what kind of attitude do you have?"
"Why? I don't even give anything away, and I still want to do charity? Where did you come from, go back, we are poor ravines, not what you rich people are used to. ”
Han Yuanyuan wanted to continue, but the village chief had already turned around and left, and he didn't give him this chance at all.
"Why is this person like this, you still want to help here, with such a village chief, you are not worthy. ”
Han Yuanyuan coaxed Ye Fan to be angry.
"Let's go, we're here to help, not to help him, there's no need to be angry with him. ”
Ye Fan turned around and took the two of them around, and walked around Gu Yao Town, and had a general understanding of the situation here, that is, poverty.
Lin Ruoxue frowned, she used to do charity, but she just donated something and money, although she was very happy, but compared to this field trip, she knew that it would not change the situation in those poor areas at all.
"I've been following for so long, and I haven't come out yet?"
Ye Fan stood still, looked at a corner, and soon a delicate-looking young man walked out from there, his face blushing and his head bowed, and his eyes still glanced at Lin Ruoqing from time to time.
Han Yuanyuan looked at each other angrily, "Hey, boy, what are you doing with us?"
The young man glanced at Ye Fan and said, "You are here to do charity?"
"We're not here to deliver things, so we're not here to do charity. ”
Ye Fan glared at Han Yuanyuan, "We are here to do charity, do you have something to do?"
Listening to Ye Fan's words, the young man grinned, "You are different from those who came to do charity before, they all gave things, reported it on TV, and left, not here to do charity at all." ”
Ye Fan glanced at the young man with interest, "Oh, then tell me, what is it like to really do charity?"
"Just like you, understanding our real needs and finding ways to solve problems is much more useful than sending things. ”
Ye Fan smiled, this young man seemed to be different from the villagers here.
"And what's really hard here, you know?"
"Of course I do. The young man said with his chest puffed.
"Although our Guyao Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, no matter what crops are planted, they can't grow well, which is why they are so poor. ”
The young man also sighed when he said this, the peasants rely on the harvest of the crops every year to feed their families, and if the crops do not grow well, the peasants will starve.
Ye Fan looked at the young man and said, "Can you take us to the field to have a look?"
"Absolutely. Saying that, the young man glanced at Lin Ruoxue, and then quickly looked away.
The young man asked as he walked, "My name is Zheng Ming, what is your name, big brother?"
"Ye Fan. ”
Not long after, Ye Fan and his entourage came to the back mountain, although the scenery here is beautiful, but the crops in those fields are all short and yellow, and even the wild fruits are very small.
Ye Fan tasted one, it was very astringent, and he couldn't eat it at all, seeing this scene, Ye Fan also felt very embarrassed.
Lin Ruoxue came to him, "Brother-in-law, the situation here is worse than imagined, I don't know what to do at all." ”
Crops and fruit trees are not growing properly, and it seems that the soil is not suitable for planting.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, the terrain is too steep, and tourism is not a good choice, Lin Ruoxue really doesn't know what to do.
Zheng Ming saw Ye Fan's reaction, and sighed: "We have lived here for several generations, and we have tried almost everything, but nothing has worked, it is normal for you to think of a way." ”
Although he said this, the disappointment in Zheng Ming's eyes was so obvious.
Ye Fan looked around, "I can always think of a way." ”
"Alas. ”
"Brother Ye Fan, come and see. ”
Han Yuanyuan's voice came from a distance, full of surprise.
Ye Fan hurriedly walked over, could it be that this little girl found something?
When Ye Fan and the three walked in, Han Yuanyuan happily held up the things in his hand to Ye Fan.
"What do you see I've found?"
Seeing the things in Han Yuanyuan's hand, Zheng Ming looked disappointed.
"It turned out to be tea, we have a lot of this thing in Gu Yao Town, nothing unusual. ”
Ye Fan has been fighting all year round and doesn't know much about these things, but it must be a good thing to make Han Yuanyuan, a girl, so excited.
"What do you know, this is cloud tea, in ancient times, it was a tribute to the royal family, and only the children of the noble royal family could drink it often, but it was past the best picking season, otherwise I would have to bring some back. ”
Saying that, Han Yuanyuan regretfully threw the tea buds in his hand on the ground.
Zheng Ming was unconvinced: "No matter how expensive it is, it's not that you can't buy it, and our people here don't like to drink tea at all." ”
"People here don't like to drink tea, but people in the city do, the richer people are, the more they like to drink, brother-in-law, I thought of a way to help them. ”
Lin Ruoxue laughed happily, just like the most beautiful flower that bloomed in spring, which made Zheng Ming look at it.
