After leaving the Yuelai Inn, the fourth uncle asked Chen Yang: "Xiaoyang, are you stupid, the conditions given by others are so good, why are you still hesitating." If someone finds a better mountain pepper sauce, then we won't have a problem. ”

The fourth uncle felt that Chen Yang's approach this time was biased. This is a clear thing, even a fool knows how to choose.

But Chen Yang, a stinky boy, had to pretend to be reserved. If you are reserved to the end and people meet better, then you really don't even have a chance to cry.

Chen Yang looked at Xiao Qian in the baby seat.

His white and flawless little face was so lovely when he was asleep, like the dew of the morning and like the light of the morning sun.

He said, "Don't worry, let me think about it first." ”

"What else do you want? The fourth uncle felt that he really couldn't understand Xiaoyang sometimes. Such a good opportunity, such an obvious contrast, he actually put on a score, saying that he should think about it, who is this.

"Fourth uncle, how much is the current purchase price of mountain pepper?"

Chen Yang looked at the scenery speeding by outside the car window and suddenly asked.

The fourth uncle replied without thinking: "Nonsense, of course it's five yuan a catty, why are you asking this?"

"Then tell me again, how much money did the fat people give when they bought mountain pepper in the past?"

"Why do you ask this? He's a bastard, when he used to buy mountain pepper, he would give him more than a pound of money, and the most expensive time was about two yuan. Why are you asking this?"

The fourth uncle couldn't understand. How can you talk about this person in a good way?

Chen Yang said: "Then you say, if the price I gave at the beginning was three yuan a catty, would the people in the village think that I was a good person?"

The fourth uncle frowned and said puzzledly: "Xiaoyang, what do you want to say." ”

"Fourth uncle, we are all from poor backgrounds, although we all want to succeed and make a lot of money, but we all know that we can't do things with a clear conscience. ”

"Yes. The fourth uncle nodded, "But, what does this have to do with mountain pepper sauce?"

"If I bought mountain pepper and the price I gave at the beginning was three yuan a catty, I think the villagers would be very happy. However, I didn't do that, because I knew that the price of five dollars was reasonable, so I gave them the price of five dollars a pound. ”

"I'm scared of poverty, and I know it's not good to be poor. So, I can't do anything about squeezing the villagers. That's what I really wanted to do. Chen Yang said.

"But what does this have to do with selling mountain pepper sauce to the Moon Inn? Could it be that after you sell the mountain pepper sauce to the Yuelai Inn, you will lower the purchase price of the mountain pepper? These two things have nothing to do with each other at all. ”

The fourth uncle just felt that Chen Yang's brain was in water.

Chen Yang saw that the fourth uncle was a little excited, and hurriedly smiled: "Fourth uncle, don't be excited, hold the steering wheel and listen to me." ”

"You say, I'm holding the steering wheel. The fourth uncle tightened the steering wheel and glanced at Chen Yang, who had a water in his brain, from the rearview mirror.

Chen Yang said: "Buying mountain pepper at a reasonable price to help the villagers get a better life is my original intention of buying mountain pepper, so do you know what my original intention is when I make mountain pepper sauce?"

The fourth uncle shook his head. He didn't even understand what the word Chuxin meant, but he only knew a little about it.

Chen Yang said to himself: "When I was making mountain pepper sauce, I was thinking, although I haven't achieved much yet, I am also a craftsman. Craftsman, I suddenly felt a sense of pride. At that time, I thought that I also wanted to share my 'art' with more people, just like those folk craftsmen. I think that every real chef wants more people to pay for their skills. ”

Fourth Uncle: 。。。。。。

"Haha, of course, that's only a small part of the reason, in fact, I hesitate because we have a verbal agreement with other restaurants and restaurants to supply them all the time. ”

This is the big truth, and any original intention in front of me is pretending to be forced.

"Since it's just a verbal agreement, and we haven't signed any contract, then if we cut off the supply, they shouldn't have anything to say. Besides, they didn't pay the deposit, and they didn't say how much mountain pepper sauce they wanted, so I don't think it should matter. ”

"You can't say that. A verbal agreement is also an agreement. Chen Yang said, "We still have to be honest, no matter what kind of benefits the inn can bring us in the future, but since we promised other restaurants and restaurants that we will supply them with mountain pepper sauce, then we can't lose our trust." ”

The fourth uncle nodded. In fact, he just talked casually. No matter who Chen Yang wants to sell to, he has no opinion.

His job is to make mountain pepper sauce and deliver mountain pepper sauce, and by the way, give full play to the ability of the gold medal confinement lady to help take care of Xiao Qian.

After the two left the Yuelai Inn, they went home directly.

However, halfway through, a cement mixer truck caught fire in the middle of the road, blocking the road, so there was a long queue of cars on the road.

By the time the firefighters put out the fire and the traffic police cleared the team, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

When the pickup truck passed by the mixer truck that was still smoking, Chen Yang glanced at the man standing next to the mixer truck with a desperate face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the money in these years is really not easy to earn." ”

The fourth uncle looked at the road ahead intently, held the steering wheel with both hands, and sighed: "Isn't it, you see that most of the people in our village have gone out to work, but I haven't seen a huge change in anyone's life." In the final analysis, it is still too difficult for us people at the bottom to live. ”

Chen Yang was about to say something when the phone rang.

picked it up and saw that it was Tang Lifen calling, Chen Yang remembered that he had promised Tang Lifen to send her into the mountain yesterday.

He hurriedly answered the phone, and opened his mouth with a series of sorry and embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry, we encountered a little situation on the way back from the city, and the traffic jam lasted for a long time, but now that it is open to traffic, we should be able to go back soon, please wait, okay?"

"Ah, I see. Tang Lifen smiled, "It's okay, don't worry, drive slowly, I'll go back to the dormitory first, I'll wait for you in the dormitory." ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Tang, when I get back later, I'll go directly to your dormitory to pick you up. ”

"Okay. Tang Lifen hung up the phone, looked at the little girl with old clothes and sallow skin next to her, and said, "Xiaohua, can you go to the dormitory with the teacher first?"

Xiaohua looked up at the sun, which had lost half of her face, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Tang, either or I'll go back first." ”

Tang Lifen raised her hand and touched Xiaohua's little head, and asked with a smile, "Xiaohua, don't you want to ride in the car with the teacher?"

Of course, Xiaohua wanted to, but she thought it would be better for her to walk back.

She shook her head: "No, Teacher Tang, I'd better go back by myself first." ”

Tang Lifen couldn't understand. I heard that the mountain road to Xiaohua Village is very rugged and steep, and even adults will be out of breath when they walk into that village.

Why didn't she wait, she had to walk back by herself.

Is this little girl still afraid that I will sell her?

Tang Lifen asked with a smile: "Xiaohua, are you afraid that I will sell you?" ”

Most people in the countryside like to scare children like this, saying, if you don't obey, I'll sell you or something.

For example, Chen Yang said something like this.

Xiaohua shook her head and explained a little anxiously: "No, no, Mr. Tang, I, you are a good person, I don't miss you so much, I just want to go home early." ”

"What does it matter if it's early or late? Anyway, the teacher didn't give homework today. Tang Lifen smiled, "Moreover, even if you don't prepare for tomorrow's homework today, the teacher won't blame you, and I will explain it to them clearly." ”

Xiaohua still shook her head: "No, Mr. Tang, I want to go back to boil water as soon as possible, so that when my parents come home after dark, they will have hot water to take a bath." Moreover, the chickens and ducks at home should also be fed before dark, and if they are fed before dark, they will not be able to see them. ”

Tang Lifen was stunned for a moment before she understood what Xiaohua meant.

She didn't want to keep Xiaohua anymore, so she said: "That's okay, Xiaohua, then you can go back first, you leave your schoolbag, and when it's later, the teacher will help you send it in." ”

Xiaohua grabbed the strap of the schoolbag, tightened the schoolbag on her back, and said with a bright smile: "No need, it's better for me to go home with my schoolbag." Teacher, then I'll wait for you at home, I'll make something delicious and wait for you, you must hurry. ”

Anyway, she didn't wait for the teacher to reply, she ran forward like a bird, and then quickly disappeared into the curve.

Tang Lifen had no choice but to smile helplessly, and then walked to the dormitory.

When Chen Yang and the fourth uncle returned to the village, it was almost six o'clock. After handing over Xiaoqian to the third aunt and explaining his whereabouts to the third aunt, Chen Yang hurriedly drove to Xinwu Village to pick up Teacher Tang Lifen.

When he arrived at Tang Lifen's dormitory, Tang Lifen was still packing her things.

Sure enough, women have the same problem - friction.

Chen Yang smiled: "It's a shame that I didn't arrive early, otherwise I don't know how long it will take you to clean up." ”

Tang Lifen picked up two large bags of things, walked out, and locked the door: "Okay, isn't it already good." Let's go, let's go now. ”

Chen Yang took the two big bags in her hand and teased: "Are you going to see the students, or to see the future parents-in-law, why are you still carrying so many things?"

"you, what nonsense? These things were sent by my friends. When they found out about the student's family situation, they all said they wanted to help, so they sent these things over. ”

"What are these things?"

"New school bags, new clothes, and some rag dolls that little girls will love. ”

Chen Yang was puzzled: "Why do you want to send these things to that student?"

"To help her, of course. Tang Lifen said naturally, "That student's name is Luo Xiaohua, and the family conditions are very difficult, I think she will be very happy after seeing these gifts." ”

Chen Yang stood next to the pickup truck, looked at Tang Lifen, and said very seriously: "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say yes. ”

In fact, this kind of help is a harm to the child named Luo Xiaohua. ”

"Why did it become an injury?" Tang Lifen wondered, "How did it become an injury to give her a new school bag, new clothes and toys?"

"Have you ever wondered what that kid would have thought after he got these gifts?"

"Delightful, of course. ”

"Well, yes, happy, that's for sure, but it's also short-lived. When the new bag is old, the new clothes are old, and she changes back to her old self, will she be disappointed, will she be sad? How should her parents use the poor economy to maintain her joy? When the time comes, will your friends continue to provide her with new clothes and new school bags, or will her parents buy them for her?"

It's annoying. Tang Lifen suddenly felt that Chen Yang was really annoying. People just want to do something good and give a little gift to poor children, but he says so much, this kind of person deserves to be a single dog.

Chen Yang saw that Tang Lifen flattened her mouth and didn't speak, and knew that she might have shattered her beautiful illusion.

However, what he said was the truth. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the previous poverty assistance or something, they all send money and things directly, but that will only make the gap between the originally poor people and the public wider and wider.

Because, in the process, they will have a natural inertia, and after that, many people will not work, just waiting for the state to pay money.

These are all things that Chen Yang witnessed with his own eyes.

Because in Baishi Village, there are many such people.

Later, probably the country also realized this, and in the past two years, it has been striving to get rid of poverty. At present, most of the poor households are funded by the state to help them learn some money-making skills.

For example, making local delicacies, or learning some housekeeping skills.

What's more, on the day they go to learn these skills, the government will also give dozens of yuan in lost work pay to the mountain people to encourage them to actively study.

Chen Yang continued: "If you really want to help her, you should guide her family to change the situation on their own, instead of sending money or things. ”

Tang Lifen still flattened her mouth.

After being silent for a while, she snatched back the two big bags of things in Chen Yang's hand, and said angrily: "Since you understand it so well, then okay, I won't give this thing." It's up to you to change the living conditions of Xiaohua's family. ”

She huffed back to the dormitory door, opened it, and threw the two bags back.

Chen Yang saw that she was a little angry, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, Teacher Tang, don't be angry, I'm just talking, if you think what I said is wrong, don't worry." ”

Tang Lifen locked the door again, turned around, and clasped her hands to her chest: "No, you're right. ”

She smiled a little 'slyly': "Since you successfully prevented me from sending things to Xiaohua and preventing me from helping her, then you will be responsible for the problems of Xiaohua's family." ”

"Huh?" What does this have to do with me, Chen Yang was very depressed.

Tang Lifen walked to the pickup truck, pulled the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat: "Okay, Boss Chen, now, let's go to Xiaohua's house, in the future, her family will be your helper." ”

Chen Yang carried the pickup truck on his back and patted his mouth: "Mouthy, this stinky mouth is really annoying." ”

After getting into the car, Chen Yang asked, "Do you know how to get to her house?"

Tang Lifen: ......
