Chapter 214: Final Preparations (2)

"Now, through our efforts, we are slowly living a good life, we don't have to worry about food and clothing, our children can go to school, the road is easy to walk, and even, when we are not working, we can listen to the opera and buy what we want to eat."

"Well, that's something I never dreamed of."

"Yes, now our village is famous far and wide, and some people want to come."

"So, I think we should reach out and help those in need when we are able. These people, all children, were abducted by the evil Hanako since childhood, and were abandoned or escaped by themselves. They are penniless, they left their parents since they were young, and they are still living miserable lives. ”

Speaking of emotion, Ye Feng was a little choked, and the villagers were also a little sad. Ye Feng is right, they are indeed not worried about food and clothing now, and they have more or less silver at home, maybe it is not so difficult to take a little bit out to show love.

It's just that who would be too little silver. Now that it's in your own hands, it's hard to take it out again.

"Don't worry, everyone, I assure you that they won't eat and drink for nothing, and they won't need you to take the money out to make up for it." As if knowing what the villagers were thinking, Ye Feng immediately added.

"We don't need to pay the money, so how can they live?"

"That's right. There is a vacant lot next to the 10,000-person square, everyone knows it, right? Also, if that's not enough, you can carve out a piece of land in the mountains behind the wild rhododendron forest. When the time comes, I will let these children learn to farm on their own, and I will also fence the forest there and buy some chickens, ducks and pigs for them to feed themselves. I will also give them hundreds of catties of seeds of longevity fruit and teach them to farm. I believe that after this year's difficulties, they will be able to become self-reliant next year. ”

Seeing that Ye Feng had Zhou Xiang's plan, and was willing to donate hundreds of catties of immortal fruit as seeds, the villagers suddenly had no worries in their hearts. They can have no confidence in Ye Feng, but they won't have no confidence in the Immortal Fruit, and it is still a few hundred catties of seeds.

Oh my God, if all these seeds were planted, how much income would be there next year? And with an income, these children naturally have no worries about life.

"To say that this is also a good deed. I am willing, I am willing to donate a tael of silver to buy food and clothing for these children. ”

"I would too."

"I'll buy the children's chicks and ducklings, and I'm willing to buy a thousand chicks and send them over."

……

For a while, everyone responded, giving Ye Feng a trace of warmth in his heart. In fact, he doesn't mind even if the villagers don't want to, but he prefers to see the current result.

"On behalf of these abducted babies, thank you, thank you. By the way, I have already agreed with the magistrate that when these children reach the age of twelve, we will ask for their opinions, and if they are willing to stay and live, we will not force them. If he is willing to go to the city to learn the craft, the magistrate will personally introduce him to the shop for him to learn. ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more relieved, as long as they were not fools, no one would refuse to learn the craft. With the craftsmanship, you can live no matter what.

Maybe you can start a family and live your own small life.

On the other side, after the Kang family returned to the city, he immediately found Gu Xixi, and Gu Xixi told Ye Feng of Baizhi County this idea.

When Bai Zhixian heard this, he naturally supported it.

To be honest, this Salesian Bureau is too small now. It's not a lot of it, it's small. However, this is a demonstration place in the whole country, and it can't be shabby.

However, there is really no extra place for them to live in the city, after all, other places have been planned, and it is too late to build them temporarily. It was great that Ye Feng could take the initiative to move the Salesian Bureau to Chenjia Village.

When he expressed his support, he took the lead in donating 300 taels of silver, saying that it was used to build a new house for the children.

Bai Zhi County took the lead, and the rest of the officials naturally did not dare to slack off, and donated some more or less. In just a few days, more than 2,000 taels of silver were raised.

At the critical moment, the magical power of the Liqun Society was once again highlighted, and Gu Xixi was just a meeting of the members of the organization, and all the members unanimously passed the decision to take out 5,000 taels of silver from the money bank and donate it to the Salesian Bureau.

In this way, there were nearly eight thousand taels of silver.

With the silver, the craftsmen immediately began to build the Salesian Bureau next to the Square for 10,000 people. This time, the layout was all built according to what Ye Feng said, and the later student dormitory model was adopted, and a number of wooden beds with bunk beds were also created, which were large enough for more than 10,000 people to live.

In addition, in line with the principle of building a sound one-time construction, latrines, wells, canteens, etc. are all planned.

In total, there are only a few hundred children in the Salesian Bureau in Qingshan County, but these facilities are enough for tens of thousands of children to live in.

On the other hand, with the strong support of the government, the paperwork for recruiting volunteers was also distributed in the neighboring counties of Qingshan County, and it was also stamped with the seal of the government.

In Baishan County, next door to Qingshan County, near the county office, people crowded together to watch the official come out with a piece of paper and post it. As soon as he left, someone asked, "Who is literate?" What is this talking about? ”

Since the government called on people to take action and pay attention to abducted babies, everyone has become accustomed to looking at what the government documents are talking about, and whether there is anything they can help.

The person who was asked first read it himself, and was silent in his heart, and then converted the official dialect into a language that the people could understand: "That's right, the government is preparing to hold a national family search conference in Chenjia Village in Qingshan County in September, but they don't have enough manpower and limited strength, so they recruit volunteers to help in nearby places." ”

"What is a volunteer?"

"It's that the government needs to invite some people to go to Chenjia Village to help, and the food and accommodation are all in Chenjia Village, and they have all covered, but there is no remuneration, and it is completely voluntary to help. If you have this idea, you can go directly to Chenjia Village to report for duty, or you can register at the back door of the county government in this county, and the government will send it over at that time. ”

This man was very patient and answered all the questions of the people.

After listening to his explanation, someone said: "This method is good, when I go home and pack my baggage, I will also sign up." To say that these flowers are really hateful, such a small child is ruthless. Anyway, I don't have any important work to do at home lately. ”

Someone said, "I'm going too." I have long heard that Chenjia Village is the first village in the world, not only can everyone be fed and clothed, but also can listen to operas in the village when they are free. They don't farm for food and drink, but for money. I also heard that even if they don't do anything, the village will have a dividend at the end of the year. So, just go and see if it's true. ”

"Forget it, you go, I won't go. I can't finish the work at home, where can I have time to take care of such idle things. ”

For a time, the people who learned the news spread the news by word of mouth, spreading the news to every corner.

Originally, the county officials were hopeless, thinking that if there was no pay, no one should come to help. Even if there were, it was a very small number of people.

Unexpectedly, things were completely unexpected.

Only two days after the notice was posted, people came to the yamen one after another to sign up. Among these people are children in their teens and a half, and there are also elderly people in their fifties and sixties. There are those who are very poor at first sight, and there are those who are very rich.

It's okay to be rich, even if you go to Chenjia Village to experience life.

A servant couldn't help but ask one of the old men, who looked old: "Old man, you don't enjoy happiness at home, but you go to Chenjia Village to join in the fun." It's not paid, and you're illiterate. ”

The old man blurted out: "Helping people is a matter of strength. Although I'm older, I can still help with errands. Also, I have a secret that I have hidden in my heart for decades, that is, I was also abducted by urinating. It's just that I didn't have such an opportunity before, so I made do with it. ”

Speaking of which, I can't tell whether it's joy or sadness.

"I know in my heart that after so many years, my hard-working father and mother may have passed away long ago, and I will never see each other again in this life. However, I just wanted to go over and help, and even if I couldn't, I was happy to see others reunited. ”

The people around him were moved, especially the sentence "Helping people is part of the power", which made those who doubted their ability instantly feel a little more confident.

The National Family Tracing Conference is a very complicated matter, but it is also a matter of great merit. If you can contribute a meager strength, then you can be regarded as at ease.

Hearing this, the official said, "Whether you go or not, I don't care about this matter." But the notice says that there are two types of volunteers. One is to go to the scene to help, and the other is to help in your own village. All you need to do is tell the government about the abducted baby around you. By the way, pay special attention to those who are unable to have children but have adopted children, and report them together. ”

As soon as this came out, everyone understood that no matter where you are, it doesn't matter at all, what matters is that you put yourself in it, participate in the activity, and you can contribute.

In this way, those who can't go to the scene to help feel a little better.

In this way, after ten days, when the deadline for registration arrived, the local government sent officials to lead the team, screened the volunteers who were interested in helping in Chenjia Village, and then took them to Qingshan County to report on foot.

After the handover, these people followed Chen Jifa to Chenjia Village.

Ye Feng saw that everyone was in the dust, and he must have been tired of walking.

Also, those who are close are fine, and those who are far away are afraid that they have been walking for a long time. However, no one complained that they were tired, and no one gave up.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng bowed to these people and said, "On behalf of all the abducted babies in the world, I thank you for your willingness to help." Our arrangement is like this, everyone has been tired lately, we don't have to help today, go down and rest first, sleep well tonight, and gather at this place tomorrow morning. ”

Originally, the contact person assigned by the village was Fan Jifei, because this kid has a flexible mind and has recently learned some words, so it is most suitable for him to manage these people.

But Chen Jifa temporarily asked him over, saying that he had to settle accounts almost every day in the village, and he was really too busy.

No, Ye Feng had to let him go.

Chen Jifa is right, it is easy to find people who help, but it is difficult to find people who can settle accounts.

Originally, Kang's was also an excellent candidate, but Kang's had information in his hands and couldn't leave, and he was busy discussing the relocation of the Salesian Bureau recently, and there were a lot of miscellaneous matters.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said to the dozens of volunteers: "Who among you is literate?" The best who have gone to school. Now, we need someone to help. ”

"I, I'm literate." A weak female voice replied, and as she spoke, she stepped out of the crowd.

The 13-year-old girl doesn't remember her name, and no one cares because she was rescued during a nationwide investigation into abducted babies.

She overheard the news, so she shouted for help when the official passed by.

Now, almost everywhere the government has a mission, which is to rescue the trapped abducted babies. Although it was not explicitly stated, various places were secretly competing and wanted to register with the emperor.

As soon as the officials heard someone calling for help, they immediately rushed forward. Fortunately, they went in time, and when they went up, they saw that the girl was covered by the bustard's mother, and was about to faint her. Seeing that the official was coming, he let the girl go with a sad face.

That's a big loss.

The girl immediately said that she was still young, and that she was abducted by Hanako when she was five or six years old, and that she was bought by the bustard's mother, and that she was going to let her pick up customers after a while.

It is precisely for this reason that this girl was able to be valued by the bustard's mother, and asked her husband to tell her to read and play the piano every day.

When Kang heard this, he gave her a name on the spot, Kang Xinsheng.

Ye Feng was a little hesitant when he saw that it was her, after all, there were dozens of volunteer men, and she was really a little girl. You know, he chose someone to be the liaison and help him do things by the way.

Kang Xinsheng has lived in a place like *** since he was a child, and what he is best at is figuring out people's minds. Seeing that Ye Feng was a little hesitant, he guessed the probable reason, thought about it and said: "Brother, I can do it, although I am young, I am not bad at doing things, and I can also endure hardships, so you let me be responsible." ”

Just when Ye Feng was hesitating, Chen Qianyu came out of nowhere and said to Ye Feng: "Uncle, what if you add me?" ”

Since Ye Feng intended to recruit volunteers to help, Qianyu has proposed more than ten times that he will join the ranks of volunteers. Chen Jixing's family knows the reason why she thinks like this, but it hurts in her heart and doesn't want her to see those joys and sorrows again.

"Well, from today onwards, you and Kang Xinsheng will be in charge of managing these volunteers. If you have anything, you can report it to me directly. Seeing Qianyu's pleading eyes, Ye Feng finally made up his mind and decided to fulfill her.

Although it has been two or three years since Qianyu was taken home, due to the lack of affection since childhood, she and Chen Jixing's family are not particularly close, at least not as carefree as Qianyan.

Many times, Ye Feng also felt a sense of powerlessness. This lack of family affection, no matter how to make up for it now, cannot be made up.

Now, she has volunteered to volunteer. If she had done some volunteer work to help these hard-working children, she might have been able to change her life slowly.

Actually, Qianyu is not bad, although he and Chen Jixing are not close, but there is no conflict in the end. Some children who have been abducted for a long time have long forgotten their biological parents, but in their hearts they regard their adoptive parents as their biological parents.

So much so that when they were rescued, they were not willing to go home with their biological parents at all. I also feel that my biological parents are the hateful people.

Qianyu must have some things in her heart that she didn't want to tell Chen Jixing and his wife, because after talking about it, the couple couldn't do anything but feel guilty

。 Why don't you let her work with these volunteers, experience the experience, listen to the joys and sorrows of others, and maybe one day she can forget the fearful experiences in her heart?

Qianyu heard Ye Feng agree, so he took Kang Xinsheng's hand and walked a few steps forward, and said to a group of volunteers: "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Qianyu, I was also abducted by Huazi in the past, and I suffered a lot. Fortunately, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I finally returned to my father's mother's side. I live not far from the front, so I am very familiar with Chenjia Village. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. ”

Kang Xinsheng also continued: "My name is Kang Xinsheng, I was abducted by Hanako since I was a child, but I am not as lucky as Sister Qianyu, and I haven't found a home yet." I know some words, and now that I have Sister Qianyu to help, I think it will be much easier to work in the future. ”

When these people heard Qianyu call Uncle Ye Feng, they understood the relationship between the two, plus Qianyu is a local, it is indeed more convenient than them no matter what they do, and they are mainly here to help, not to enjoy happiness.

What difference does it make who leads them?

After arranging these, Qianyu and Kang Xinsheng took this group of volunteers down to rest, after all, they will be busy from tomorrow.

This one was next to the two commercial streets, next to the newly built Salesian Bureau, which was cleverly covered by Ye Feng with a wall and a few apricot trees. Those who don't know the road still think that these two commercial streets are the end.

It's a not-so-typical quadrangle, but it's all four stories high, adding up to hundreds of rooms.

According to Ye Feng's arrangement, these dozens of people were arranged on the first floor.

On this floor, there is a yard, a latrine, a kitchen, and a small vegetable patch in the backyard with seasonal vegetables and spices such as ginger, onion and garlic.

After settling down in a place to live, Qianyu said again: "When the meal arrives, someone will bring the food, you don't have to worry about the food." When we got here, our main job was to help. ”

It turned out that the cooking work had been contracted by Chen Jifa to the little daughters-in-law in the village who wanted to enter the Yaya Township kitchen but couldn't get in. Although the craftsmanship of these little daughters-in-law does not meet the standard of making a banquet, the standard of homely cooking is still more than enough.

Although these little daughters-in-law do not have much salary, they are better than long-term cooperation, and it is better than being idle at home every day. Now, almost everyone in the village has something to do and money to earn, and they are embarrassed to be idle anymore.

The volunteers just saw that the accommodation was so good, but it was only a room for two people, and everything was available, which was dozens of times better than at home. Now I hear that three meals a day are delivered, and I feel that this day is too happy.

They have to work in the fields like at home, where is it so easy as now?

And just this way, this Chenjia Village is really as rich as the legend, where there is a shadow of the countryside.

So, they all secretly said to themselves in their hearts that they must work hard so that they can live up to such accommodation conditions.

As soon as lunch arrived, everyone was even more grateful, because there were actually three dishes, one meat and two vegetables. And even the vegetarian dish is oily, and it is very appetizing at first glance.

Everyone ate their first full meal in so long, and after the meal, they walked around Chenjia Village under the leadership of Qianyu, waiting for tomorrow to go to work.

Early the next morning, without urging, everyone got up early. They are used to waking up early at home, because they either have to cook or go to the field, or feed the pigs, and they will naturally wake up at this point.

As a result, after they had washed well for a long time and sat in the courtyard for a while, the little daughters-in-law of the village brought breakfast to them.

When I asked, I found out that the village is used to getting up at this time.

When they arrived at a place, everyone saw a plaque with a few words written on it, so they asked Kang Xinsheng to read it. When Kang Xinsheng looked at it, it turned out to be a few words to help the abducted persons affairs office.

After everyone was seated, Ye Feng began to explain to everyone what volunteers are and what their tasks are.

After doing this, Ye Feng singled out all the other literate people, and then said: "We will teach everyone to read a few words every day, and at the same time, teach everyone to learn to read some information." As for those who are already literate, they can also teach each other to read at night. Don't be discouraged if you can't read for the time being, after all, there is still time, and when the time comes, you will also have a great role in holding a family search conference. ”

"The most important thing is that when you are all on your own, we will ask you for your advice beforehand. If you wish, we will send you to other counties to help guide the work. And then, it's paid. ”

When everyone heard that they could go so far and get paid, they were very excited for a while. They only come with a heart to help themselves and others.

Seemingly. Good people really have good rewards.

It's just that the first day of training is very difficult, not to mention literacy, rote memorization, Ye Feng also told them how to distinguish Hanako, how to gain the trust of the other party and take the opportunity to rescue the child.

Of course, there are also some common sense to prevent abduction.

Ye Feng also listed a series of methods used by Huazi, such as using food and gadgets to lure and coax, deceiving the baby and saying that he would take him to his father, and so on. The crowd is like a sponge, trying to absorb knowledge.

In the evening, after dinner, I was going to go to the lake to see, but no one went. It was still dawn, and they were all looking at the words taught during the day, and the strange numbers and tables.

Ye Feng said that only by learning to read and read forms can they really help and become a qualified volunteer.

And, more importantly, they are also the first volunteers in this country, and if they succeed in their studies, they can go to other counties to guide and help them in the future.

Ordinary people are just fine, those volunteers who are themselves abducted babies are extremely excited at the moment, what about being abducted since childhood?

God first closed one of his doors, and his life has been bleak ever since. originally thought that they would live in darkness for the rest of their lives, but now God has opened their eyes and opened a window for them.

Now that they have this opportunity, they will definitely seize it.
