Zhou Yize immediately expressed his understanding when he heard this.

"We also know that this is not right, because the food is divided according to the work, and there is not much in any family.

But you see, the branch secretary, now that even the seedlings are not green, and we are still away from harvesting wheat and distributing grain, we can't let us have nothing to eat, and it will not be good for the reputation of our Mao'er Village to make another life. ”

The village party secretary was also embarrassed when he heard this, and took several puffs of old cigarettes, and finally shook his head.

"Let me be honest with you, although the brigade still has some food, it is not enough for you to know the youth, and you have to keep some for this year's seeds to sprout, and the brigade really can't borrow it."

Tang Xiaohong was anxious when she heard this, and she had to be embarrassed, so she opened her mouth and said, "Then let the people in the village make some together for us, okay?" ”

"Why?"

As soon as Tang Xiaohong's words came out, Zhu Laosan and Wang Er next to him were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.

"But we have nothing to eat now, and if we can't find food, we'll starve to death, do you want to watch us die?"

Tang Xiaohong said it as a matter of course, because in her opinion, everyone should help each other at this time, but the faces of the two villagers turned blue with anger.

"You're not from our village, what do you care about us? Don't scare me with the fact that you don't die, you have parents at home and they all eat public meals, if you really don't have anything to eat, why don't you look for them?

We will only farm the land, and we will point to those few mouthfuls of fields all our lives, where do you get your face and I reach out to eat? ”

The more Wang Er spoke, the more excited he became, his slender pockmarked face was full of fierce expressions.

Tang Xiaohong was so frightened by him that she hurriedly ran back to the team of educated youths, for fear of being chased and beaten.

The village party secretary did not stop them this time, but said to the educated youth: "You have also seen it, no one will want to." Not to mention that they don't have enough to eat on their own, even the food in the brigade is dug up and planted by the people in the village with a hoe.

We are all shaving in the fields, and we are busy all year round for those sacks of wheat, and if you say you want it, then who will be willing to give it? ”

Zhou Yize explained: "It's not that we want to, we are borrowing, and we will return it when the autumn grain is harvested." ”

"That's a nice story, but if I really lend you food, what if you don't pay it back then? Every year, the food is divided according to the division of work, and you can't do the work in the field, how many can you earn a year?

If there is no work, there will be no food, and when the time comes, I will ask you for it, and you will say that if you pay it back, you will not be able to eat enough and will starve to death, so what should I do? There are also several people in my family waiting to eat! ”

Zhu Laosan's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he raised his thin hand to wipe his tears.

The educated youths looked at him like this, and they were embarrassed to continue to talk about asking them to help make up food.

But as long as people live, they have to eat, and in the end, the village party secretary still has to give a charter.

The village party secretary's eyebrows were almost twisted into a dead knot, and he was so worried that he smacked the cigarette holder one after another.

Wang Er saw him like this, and immediately stood up and said, "Yan Zhishu, don't be soft-hearted, think about our villagers." ”

The village party secretary spoke more frequently, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he said: "I know that the big guys are not having a good time, but there is one sentence that they are not wrong, we can't really watch them hungry." ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Yize is not easy to speak, otherwise it would be too unkind.

Amy turned her head to look at the sky outside, and didn't want to continue to break around here to delay time, so she took advantage of the time when everyone was sad and thinking of a way, and came to Zhou Yize's side.

"In fact, the most important thing is to let the big guys have a bite to eat, and it doesn't necessarily have to be in their hands."

Zhou Yize raised his head suddenly, and slapped his hands hard in the air.

His movements were so big that everyone in the room looked over, and Amy hurriedly pretended that it had nothing to do with her, and continued to walk forward to Zhang Hui's side and talk to herself.

"You said that if we really don't have anything to eat, can we go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables?"

Zhang Hui was originally attracted by Zhou Yize's movements, and still wondered if his appearance was related to Amy, but when she turned her ears, she heard Amy ask such a naïve question, and immediately dispelled that idea.

"You're stupid, it's okay to beat the tooth sacrifice of wild vegetables, but if you really want to eat it, you can't eat people? That thing is not hungry, we still have the task of clearing the wasteland. ”

Amy nodded understandingly, "You're amazing, I didn't even think of that." ”

Zhang Hui smiled proudly, and was very helpful to her compliment.

"It's good to know, learn more in the future, so as not to be bullied by others."

Amy's chick nodded as if pecking rice, and at the same time used her afterglow to look at Zhou Yize's reaction.

Sure enough, Zhou Yize had already thought of a way and walked to the village party secretary to discuss.

The village party secretary's face was very unsightly at first, and he shook his head vigorously, but the more he went to the back, the more serious he listened.

Amy had to sigh that Zhou Yize's mouth could speak, and at the same time pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on what they were saying.

"I know that every family in the village is different, and some families have a large population and few laborers, so they must not have enough food for their own families. But there are also some laborers who have more than enough rations. ”

"I know what you're thinking, but it's not fair, people won't want to."

"Secretary, that's what I'm going to tell you. We can get those who want to stand up for themselves.

As long as you let them come to the meeting, as for how to make them willing, we educated youths will figure it out by ourselves, after all, it is us who want to eat, and it is not good for you to bother more. ”

These words not only gave a solution, but also invisibly held a handful of village party secretaries, and he smiled when he heard it.

Zhu Laosan and Wang Laoer were originally afraid that the village party secretary would be fooled by Zhou Yize and agreed to make up food, but when he saw his face, he immediately leaned over and wanted to object.

But Zhou Yize took the first step to hold them back.

"Uncle Zhu and Uncle Wang, we educated youths are not people who take advantage of them casually, don't worry, this time we won't let the big guys gather food, let you decide for yourself whether you want to help us or not, and definitely don't ask for it."

Zhu Laosan didn't believe his statement, so he asked the village party secretary again, but the village party secretary nodded.

In this way, the two of them finally put their minds at ease and took the initiative to help the village party secretary call all the other people in the village over for a meeting.

The appeal of the village party secretary is very strong, so after a while, all the villagers of Mao'er Village gathered outside the village party secretary's house, and stood in a large area.

When the people were almost there, the village party secretary coughed twice and walked up to the big guy.

"I called you here today, mainly for the sake of the educated youth of our village. That's right, their food has been spoiled by rats, and now they don't have anything to eat, so let them go to live with other people in the village first, do something for you, and then eat with you. ”

Before the village party secretary's words were finished, the people below made a noise.

"Are their educated youths more expensive than our countrymen, why should we give them food if we can't eat enough?"

"If you don't have anything to eat, you go up the mountain to find wild vegetables to eat, why do you want to harm me?"

"Aren't they literate and capable? Then let them figure it out for themselves, I won't agree to this matter anyway. ”

"Secretary, did you accept any benefits from them, why don't you help the people in your own village and help outsiders?"

The villagers are saying more and more excessively, and the scene is about to get out of control.

After a while, the anger of the villagers burned to Liu Jianfang's head.

"You can make trouble with such a precious thing as food, do you know young people who don't have brains in doing things?"

"That's enough food for my family for months, and you actually let the rats eat, what a loser."

"If you were my daughter, I would have sucked you to death with a big mouth."

"What a bad spirit, there was nothing wrong with it, and you made something happen to you, and you had to burden us."

Liu Jianfang was scolded and shrunk and quickly hid in the crowd, for fear that the angry villagers would beat her and get angry.

Amy subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yize and found that his brows had been twisted into the word "Chuan".

Only this time before she had time to whisper a reminder, Zhou Yize strode forward and stood in front of the villagers.

"The villagers listened to me first, and the top said that we should be blessed and share difficulties and help each other, and we have never lived in vain after the young people came, and we are also working hard to teach everyone to read and write, and help everyone come up with ideas."

"Right now, we're having some problems and need your help."

"But don't worry, we won't live in vain, and each of us will do the work with our hands."
