Chapter 153: People Moving to the Safe Zone
"It's so miserable, how can you say there are such ignorant people in the world?" Aunt Liang was sitting on the sofa in our living room talking to Jiang Ma and Qu Ma about the person who was poisoned.
"Otherwise, people say that this person's heart and eyes are like the mountain road, with nine twists and eighteen bends, and you can't see through it just by looking at the surface." Jiang's mother also lamented the changeability of people's hearts.
"Hey, in the final analysis, it's the safe zone that caused trouble." Qu Ma said.
"Yes, why can't this leader think of something good for the people every day, and as soon as he patted his brain, the idea came out." Aunt Liang began to criticize the root of sin.
"No, I want to come out of it. I don't think much about it for us ordinary people. Qu's mother also began to complain.
"In fact, it can be seen from this that this safe zone is not safe or not." Jiang's mother said.
Everyone else looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
"You think, the safe zone is said to be the safest, and that's for disasters and diseases. They don't care about the character of the people who live in, think about it, how many people pay the occupancy fee with their own food, and how do those who have no food at home live in? Where does their food come from?
If these traitors come together, what if it is good? That's why I say that this safe zone only recognizes food and not people, and this is pushing himself to the end of the road. Wait, in a few years, the safe zone will not be safe. "Mother Jiang is used to seeing the essence through the phenomenon, and this time it is the same.
"Hey, do you say that the safe zone is really as good as the legend, and the good ones can make a good person. has become a wife and a daughter, isn't this more Chen Shimei than Chen Shimei? Aunt Liang thought of the case that happened in the county from the safety zone.
"It's going to take time to know, and I don't believe there is any of the most advanced mosquito repellent systems in the world. If we had that good thing, we wouldn't have died so many people here this year. Moreover, if a mosquito repellent system can be studied, a mosquito killing system should be studied, so wouldn't it be more able to prevent the infection of virus A from the root? I chimed in.
"Yes, Xiaoyi is right. It's not a good idea to go inside the safe zone now. That's not where people live, so now they make it like a wolf's den.
I kind of get it, this safe zone is no better. It's someone else's, and it's not as comfortable as living in your own home. We can do whatever we want in our own homes, but we can't do it in there. It is impossible for people to support us for nothing, and it is estimated that they have to work to earn food. "Aunt Liang has completely given up the idea of going to the safe zone.
"That's not it, we can think of it stupidly, so we handed over 500 catties of rice. I just want people to support us for a lifetime. Is that possible? Qu Ma said.
"That's it, let's still be honest, stay at home and live our lives well. It's really the end of the world, we are not afraid, how good this mountain village is, we will not starve to death if we have land to plant, and we will not freeze to death if we have a house to live in, relatively speaking. The personnel here are simple, and there are no such people who are messy. What could be better than that now. Jiang's mother made a concluding speech.
"Yes, this place selected by Xiao Yi is really good." Aunt Liang listened to Jiang's mother's words, and hurriedly turned her head and praised me, I was going to buy a house here.
Then she said to us mysteriously, "Have you heard, there are really a few people in our village who want to go to the safe zone?" ”
"Who?" I stay at home every day, and I know very little about these gossip news, but I am a person who loves to listen to gossip, so when I hear gossip, I quickly ask.
"There are several, but one of them you won't guess is the head of our village." Aunt Liang reveals the answer.
This answer is really quite explosive, and we didn't think anyone expected that the village chief wanted to go to the safe zone.
"Is this news accurate?" I asked.
"It was the village chief's daughter-in-law who accidentally leaked her mouth when she was talking to Gui Chun's daughter-in-law, and Gui Chun's daughter-in-law told me again." Aunt Liang's diplomacy in Tashan Village is better than all of us, and Gui Chun's daughter-in-law is a good sister of Aunt Liang.
"Oh, I really can't imagine how the village chief would want to go to the safe zone, with his experience, he shouldn't be able to."
"I heard that his eldest son gave him a whole quota and asked them to move in, and his eldest son is also inside, so isn't it possible to reunite the family inside." Aunt Liang continued.
"What about the girl?" Qu's mother asked.
The village chief has a son and a daughter, both married, and the son lives in the city, I heard that he is quite capable, but their family is relatively low-key, so no one talks about it, and his daughter is also married to the county. Looking at the meaning, the old couple and their son's family were going to enter the safe zone, which was to leave the girl behind.
"The water spilled by the married girl, how can you manage so much now. Besides, you can't manage it even if you want to. The girl's family also has a large group of relatives, how can his son have such a great ability to get everyone in. Aunt Liang explained.
"Even if you have the ability to get a quota, you don't have to pay for food." Qu's mother interjected.
"That is, his son took them to the safe zone, and I heard that they asked the old couple to hand over food, 500 catties per person, and 2,500 catties for their family of 5." Aunt Liang said.
"His son is really capable, and he has great ability both inside and outside the house." After I finished speaking, I saw that everyone looked at me inexplicably, so I explained: "It is said that he has the ability outside, and he can bargain for 700 catties of grain to 500 catties, and these 5 people will lose 1,000 catties of grain, which is a saving for the young and old." ”
Everyone nodded after listening to my explanation, and I continued: "To say that he has the ability at home means that he has a mouthful, and his father and mother are about to break his legs, and he can fool his father and mother into taking out so much food for him, and he has no ability." ”
After listening to this, everyone nodded again.
"Didn't you say that there are several more families to go to, who else is there besides the village chief's house?" Qu's mother asked again.
"There are also Lao Li's family, Lu Dongliang's family, and Lao Tian's family at the head of the village." Aunt Liang said.
"Yo, the most treacherous families in our village, why do you have to go." Qu Ma said.
"They don't seem to have enough harvest this year to pay for the whole family to go to the safe zone, right?" Jiang's mother asked the key question.
"yes, so they started to negotiate with people they had good relationships with in private. I want to sell my house and land and raise food. ”
"How much can it be sold, can it sell thousands of catties of grain? It's just that it can be sold for this price. It seems that no one in our village can take it out except for us. I asked, a little puzzled.
"Then I don't know, but if they ask me, I won't buy it. There are only a few people in our family, and the house is enough to live in, and the land we have opened up has tired these people enough this year, but we can't have any more. Besides, our family can also eat enough grain from these fields, so there is no need to buy it. "Aunt Liang still feels sorry for these people in the family. Especially the eldest brother-in-law, it can be said that the brother-in-law has done the most heavy work in the field today, and Chenchen is not yet an adult, so he doesn't dare to let him do too heavy work. The eldest sister and herself are even more not. So when the mother saw her son tired like that for a variety of food to feed the family, it was distressing.
"Aunt Liang, let's go together, my family is not buying land, this year our family has planted a total of 36 acres of land, this is not counting the greenhouse in the backyard, but Jiang Zhi and the three of them are tired. In the future, you can't say anything more, and you can't just ask for food and die. "I mean it.
So much land planted this year. The main thing is that we don't know what the harvest will be like in the field, and the other is that we are worried about the end times. I always think that there is a lot of farming, a lot of grain, and only then can I have the bottom in my heart. But in the past six months, Jiang Zhi and the three of them have basically been in the ground every day, their whole bodies are tanned, and their skins have been peeled off several layers. That's a real peel. I peeled off the skin on Jiang Zhi's back, and it was a big piece when I uncovered it, and then the sun was too poisonous, and I had to wear long clothes and trousers when I went to the ground, which was a little better, and they were covered with white.
Not only are they tanned, but their bodies are much more muscular, as soon as they raise their arms, they can see the little mouse, and the six-pack abs in their abdomen are clearly visible, and they can catch up with the Popeye in the cartoon.
These changes are due to the long hours they have been working for months.
After the autumn harvest this year, I decided that I would resolutely not open up the land in the future, and the grain from these lands would be enough for our family to eat.
A few days after we chatted, the village chief really came to him.
Before the village chief entered our yard, he shouted, "Is Jiang Zhi at home?" "He knows that Jiang Zhi is in charge of our family, so if there is something, he will go directly to Jiang Zhi.
As soon as we heard the voice of the village chief at home, we hurried out and welcomed the village chief in.
"Is there something going on with the village chief coming today?" Jiang Zhi sat opposite the village chief, and after watching me pour water and sit down, he asked.
The village chief pondered for a while and said, "That's the case, you should know that our province has established a security zone, right?" ”
The village chief nodded at us and continued: "My son has a little relationship in the city, and he wants us to go inside to enjoy the happiness, and we are old and discussed, we are old, and now the world is not good, it is better to be closer to our children and grandchildren, and we can have a care, so we want to move there." If we leave, we may not be able to come back for a while, so we want to dispose of the house and land in the village.
I don't think that you are new to settle here, these things must be lacking, so I will ask you first if you want to. ”
It's not good to deal with people in power, and I'm begging you, how can we beg him when we speak, as if he came to us because he took care of us more.
"Oh, village chief, you're so good to us, and you're still thinking about us. But we are now powerless, planting these fields this year, has to tire us down, a lot of old and small in the family, serious can contribute to the three of us, my daughter-in-law can say, next year will not plant so much land, can not put the cart before the horse, grow food to survive, but also can not die of exhaustion for food......
But I still want to thank you for thinking so about our family. Jiang Zhi also pretended to be confused, and did not mention the village chief's lack of food.
The village chief sat on the sofa, he didn't say anything for a long time, the expression on his face was very reluctant to stand up and say goodbye, he couldn't pull his face to beg Jiang Zhi.
"But ......" At this time, Jiang Zhi spoke again.
The village chief hurriedly looked at Jiang Zhi, thinking that things were still turning around.
"However, if your tractor is sold, we can negotiate it." (To be continued......)
