Chapter Twenty-Eight: Going to the Countryside

"How about I call you Uncle Wolf in the future?"

"Why? Am I that old? ”

She was a little shy, lowered her head and tugged at his tie, as if she was talking to herself, "Of course it's not age, it's that I like the wolf nature in your bones, and I call you Uncle Wolf, this wolf can also be the Lang of Ruyi Langjun." ”

"Well, that sounds good, Uncle Wolf will be exclusive to you in the future."

Couples want to have an exclusive title, and in this way, there is the title of Uncle Wolf, who is exclusive to Miao Miao's Uncle Lang.

This weekend, Uncle Wolf and his colleagues are going to lead a few interns to a remote area to hold an activity to send the law to the countryside, and the location they chose is Tiejiao Mountain in Tucheng County.

Tiegang Mountain is 1,200 meters above sea level, the mountain is steep, the rocks are hideous, the transportation is inconvenient, it is very poor and backward, and hundreds of villagers live here.

Uncle Wolf took Miao Miao to experience life together.

When colleagues saw Hu Lang appear with a woman in his arms, a partner who arrived early greeted the two of them with a spring breeze on his face, "Hu Lu, you are finally willing to bring your insider out." ”

Hu Lang looked at Miao Miao tenderly and introduced, "This is Zhang Song, the senior partner of our law firm. ”

Miao Miao hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Hello, my name is Miao Miao." ”

Zhang Song held Miao Miao's hand, "Hello, hello..."

Several interns came aside and talked about Hu Lang and Miao Miao.

When they led the group and walked along the winding path for more than twenty minutes, they saw an old man about sixty years old.

He wore a white cloth turban wrapped around his head, an old blue tunic coat, patched coarse cloth trousers, a pair of shabby flat rubber shoes on his feet, and a backpack on his back.

This is an open basket made of bamboo, the basket is full of potatoes, weighing seventy or eighty pounds, the basket is sitting on a T-shaped crutch, the old man reaches behind his back and firmly grasps the crutches, but his legs are trembling.

In this cold winter, the old man was dressed so thinly, but beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his forehead.

Uncle Wolf stepped forward, "Old man, where are you carrying this potato?" ”

The old man smiled very innocently, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat rolling into his eyes, "Carry it to the market and sell it, there is no salt at home, exchange some money to buy salt and go home." ”

One intern was surprised, "It doesn't cost much to buy salt!" ”

The old man said helplessly: "It doesn't fall from the sky, it doesn't grow in the ground, for us, it's difficult to find a penny, and a bag of salt costs more than a piece!"

Uncle Wolf continued to ask, "Old man, how much can you sell this basket of potatoes?" ”

"Two cents a catty, this basket has seventy or eighty catties, and it can be sold for fifteen or sixteen yuan!"

Hearing this, Miao Miao burst into tears, pulled away Uncle Wolf, and said secretly: "I want to get some money for the old man, it's so pitiful."

Uncle Wolf touched Miao Miao's head, "Don't worry, we will live on this mountain for two days, wait for you to see the lives of other people on the mountain, and then talk about it!" ”

The economic conditions of every family on this mountain are not much different, and he is not not from letting her do good deeds, but just wants her to give money to those who need it most.

Except for a terraced field, there seemed to be no flat place on the mountain, and the village chief arranged for the group to set up tents on the playground of the village primary school.

There is a loudspeaker installed in front of every house in this village, and the voice of the village chief comes from inside, "Blind date, please note, please note that tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, go to the village primary school classroom on time to hold a collective meeting, it is related to everyone's interests, please attend on time." ”

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, villagers came one after another, and before nine o'clock, all the villagers had arrived.

The villagers were gossiping, "What's the meeting?" It's everyone's interest..."

"If the village chief doesn't say that, how many people are willing to come to the meeting?"

These native farmers, they are busy with farm work every day, and they never want to participate in meetings and the like, unless they are related to interests, even if they know that the village chief is fooling everyone nine times out of ten, but they are worried that they will miss the bargain, so everyone comes.

"These are lawyers who come from the city to do legal aid, and everyone can come for consultation on anything, and they have to line up and come one by one."

After the opening remarks of the village chief, the audience was silent, and they were all suspicious, you look at me, I look at you, and no one came forward to consult.

Uncle Wolf's assistant broke the silence, "This legal aid is completely free of charge, and we will not charge a penny, but it is only for two days that we are here, if you need legal assistance, please seize the opportunity and come directly to the front row for consultation." ”

Uncle Wolf's assistant is named Qin Chuan, although Qin Chuan has just entered the society, but Miao Miao is three years older, she looks like a peach blossom in a wasteland, bewitching and dazzling, and like a newly graduated Miao Miao, soft and innocent, doing things, but it is neat, she is a graduate student, she has always admired Uncle Wolf, so after graduation, she chose to be Uncle Wolf's assistant without hesitation.

After Qin Chuan's words, several people stood up with their brains probed, and others followed one after another. On-site activities began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

The village chief said: "This old man is in his eighties, her ears are not good, her legs are inconvenient, she has five sons, but none of them are willing to take care of her now." ”

Qin Chuan opened his throat and asked, "Old man, have your five sons never taken care of you?" ”

The old man's tongue speaks and speaks clearly, his teeth are almost gone, and his tongue is disturbed when he speaks, "When I can move, each son stays at home for half a year, and it was fine at that time, but now I can't move, I can't help them, and I don't want to accept my burden." ”

"How many years haven't I bothered you?"

"More than ten years, I didn't have to worry about them before, I could plant some land, and I couldn't starve to death, my legs and feet were inconvenient in recent years, I really couldn't move, I started to discuss the five of them, I lived in each house for a month, and then waited until the Spring Festival, everyone said that they wanted to visit relatives and friends, no one took care of me, and they didn't want to take over me, my legs and feet were inconvenient, and I had to walk for half a day from the eldest son's house to the second son's house, and no one sent me, and I didn't want to toss anymore."

"Do you want to stay with a son? Which son's house would you like to live in? ”

"I want to live in the fifth child's house, and the other few will give money to the fifth child every month."

Miao Miao listened to the story of the old man, tears swirled, if the old man had a daughter, maybe he would not have fallen into such a field, she thought of the patriarchal, abandoned her father since childhood, she inexplicably hoped that the father could hear the story of the old man, let him understand: men are not necessarily better than daughters, at least in terms of supporting the elderly, he will definitely do his best.

Qin Chuan was still talking to the old man, Miao Miao didn't want people to see her emotions, so she got up and walked away, Uncle Wolf followed closely behind her...
