Chapter 24: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

"Old Zhaotou, I'm not at home, come out quickly, there's something good." As soon as he entered the courtyard, the loud voice of the place began to roar, and after a while, the door of the house was pushed open from the inside, and Lao Zhao, who had seen him last time, walked out of the house, and just wanted to ask what was a good thing, but his eyes fell directly on the three people behind him, and suddenly lit up.

"Ouch, that's not the ...... What ......" Lao Zhao was in a hurry, so he forgot the name that Wang Dong told them last time, and he didn't think about it in a hurry, and then he slapped his thigh directly and stretched out his hand into the house: "Distinguished guest, hurry up and enter the house." ”

Looking at his happy look, he probably thought it was the money that came down, but how could it be so easy, Wang Dong smiled and walked in, after a few people sat down, Lao Zhao smiled and rubbed his hands and sat opposite Wang Dong, and he didn't know how to talk about the money, Wang Dong was relieved of this siege for him: "Brother Zhao, we came with a mission this time." ”

"Mission?" Lao Zhao Tou was confused, didn't he say that he was going to send money, how did he become a man with a task, his puzzled eyes fell on the body of the place, and the place glared and said: "Can you listen to people finish speaking, and tell you that it's a good thing, just listen." ”

The village chief's orders were greater than everything, and Lao Zhao, who was accustomed to listening to everything, suddenly became honest, and looked at Wang Dong with a curious expression, and he didn't know what this task was.

"That's the case, your son Zhao Satisfaction has been selected by us as the target of help...... Wang Dong smiled and mentioned the beginning, and before he could continue, the old Zhao Tou on the opposite side said in surprise: "How much can I give?" ”

Wang Dong was speechless for a moment, why didn't he open the word money everywhere, pondered for a while, and said vaguely: "It's about a few thousand yuan." ”

Only a few thousand? Lao Zhao Tou was disappointed for a while, but it is not bad to have a few thousand yuan, it is faster than going out to work to earn it, and you can earn these without even moving, I knew that there was such a good thing, how good it is to pretend to be a fool, I can get two dollars for nothing, but it is too late now, and I don't know if there will be a next time.

After fooling around, Wang Dong finally mentioned the most critical purpose of this time, pointed to the bag in Xia Zhiqing's hand and said, "We have something else to ask Brother Zhao to cooperate with this time." ”

"You say, you say." With a few thousand yuan at the bottom, Lao Zhao Tou did not doubt it, and nodded again and again in agreement.

"That's right, when we paid the subsidy, we prepared a uniform set of clothes, and today I brought a few, I want your children to try it out and see which size is suitable to wear, and then I will send the clothes to your home."

In addition to giving money and clothes, this made Lao Zhao Tou almost regret his intestines, but now it's too late to pretend to be stupid, so he has to call his son out to see what size clothes he can wear.

Lao Zhao directly called his son out to try on clothes, and taking advantage of this, Wang Dong called Lao Zhao aside, and asked with a smile: "In addition to this matter, I have something to trouble Brother Zhao." ”

"Look at you, you are not real, if you have something to say, I will definitely help you if I can." Lao Zhao patted his chest and said generously.

"That's right, our fund is recently preparing to donate a batch of clothes to children in the frontier, so take this opportunity, can you give us a few pieces of clothes from your family's big and strong childhood, it doesn't need to be too new, it can be ten or eight years old, by the way, what is the size of your family's clothes when you were big and strong?"

"When you were a child?" Lao Zhao made a mistake this time, with the drag of such a child, his family's life is always ordinary, a piece of clothing is worn for ten or eight years, and it is normal to sew and mend it, when he heard that Wang Dong actually wanted the clothes of the child when he was a child, he couldn't help frowning a little and said: "The ones that are too small have already been thrown away, and the rest don't know if they fit your intentions." ”

"It doesn't need to be too small, it's okay to be about ten or eight years old, how big is the number you wear at that time?"

"About 170." Lao Zhao recalled, almost, the child looked like a thick and fat one, and when he grew up, he was taller and thinner, and his clothes were changed to 175 size.

The first one didn't seem to meet the requirements, Wang Dong was a little discouraged, and said with a smile on his face: "That's okay, just trouble Brother Zhao to help me find a few, it doesn't need to be too good, just wear it." ”

Lao Zhao Tou walked away suspiciously, and after a short time, he really found two pieces out, handed them to Wang Dong's hand, and said embarrassedly: "Look at it, are these two pieces okay?" ”

Wang Dong took it, the clothes were indeed too old, but the style was in good condition, Wang Dong glanced at it a few times, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhao, do you have an old-fashioned kind of military uniform, which is a more wearable kind of green clothes." ”

"Yes, but I gave it away a few years ago." Lao Zhao replied honestly.

It seems that this family should not be his own purpose, Wang Dong put away his clothes, stood up and said: "Then thank you Brother Zhao, when the subsidy comes down in a few days, I will send it to you." ”

"Thank you so much, it's noon, stay here for a meal and then leave." Old Zhao didn't know how to thank Wang Dong, so he didn't invite him sincerely.

"No, no, we're going to have to leave soon, and we're going to someone else." Wang Dong shirked it, gave Xia Zhiqing a look, and the two of them packed up their clothes and followed Wang Dong out of the house.

The rest of the family is about the same as the first one, except for three of the six families who are not among the nineteen people, the remaining two families do not meet the requirements of this size, it seems that this Pingxi Village itself does not have to come again in the future, after a few people said goodbye to the last one, followed the land back to the village committee, just when Wang Dong was about to leave, a woman hurriedly ran over from the side of the road.

When they were far away, the woman shouted loudly, "Wait, wait for me." ”

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and the place was also stunned, seeing the woman gradually moving from far to near, his eyes showed doubts, and he said to himself: "Why is she here, isn't her family Xiaogang's illness cured?" ”

Xiaogang? Wang Dong's heart beat suddenly, but there was no puzzled expression on his face, watching this aunt run here, he asked with a smile, "Is the aunt looking for us?" ”

"Yes, it's looking for you, aren't you the one from the fund?" The woman stood still panting and looked directly at Wang Dong.

Before Wang Dong could react, Nadi frowned and asked, "Mrs. Chen, what are you doing here, isn't your family Xiaogang's illness cured, you don't have this qualification." ”

As soon as she heard this, the woman was not happy, raised her eyebrows and glared at the place: "Who said yes, which one said yes, you didn't see that my family Xiaogang has been at home for two years, not all of them are affected by this disease, I tell you the surname there, don't think I don't know your tricks, I will tell you today, my family Xiaogang is sick, and the subsidy is not my family's share, I will poke out all your affairs." ”

The land suddenly withered, and he didn't know what to say, but at this time, Wang Dong said at the right time: "I listen to this, there are patients in my aunt's house?" ”

"That's right, my family Xiaogang had dementia when he was a child, and no one recognized him when he got sick, you look at this and that, but he forgot about my home, that ...... Comrade, are you going to my house to have a look? ”
