Chen Miao smiled, "You have to know that it is state property, you say that you are picking up rags, but that is not good." ”

"We didn't steal, we didn't rob, we just picked up what we didn't want, why can't we?"

"You don't think you stole it, but if you take it without permission, isn't that stealing?"

Several of the children were unconvinced, arguing that it wasn't stealing.

Their residence was not far from here, and Chen Miao felt uncomfortable after seeing the simple house.

"Did you flee the famine here, or were you from here before?"

"I don't know, it's been here for as long as I can remember."

The other seven children also nodded.

"Then you have a hukou here?"

Several of the children nodded: "Last year, someone came to register us. ”

"Is your current situation registered?"

"Yes, we still have 20 catties of food every month, but not one person, but a family with 20 catties."

Such a small amount of food is not enough for a family to eat, even if there are only two people.

But now the state knows that this is already the greatest possible help. You still have to stand up on your own.

But what can such a big child do, he has no ability to work, so he can only raise it.

"This is my house, just my grandmother and us."

"Minzi, who are you talking to?"

"Milk, it's the woman who didn't let us pick up the rags yesterday."

Chen Miao saw the thin old man groping his way to his feet. "Comrade, the children are not sensible, I already said about my grandson yesterday."

"Auntie, don't worry, sit down and say." Looking at her trembling, I was afraid that she would suddenly fall.

"Comrade, we really can't help it. There are only two of us at home, and we have no financial resources at all. Relying on government subsidies alone means starving to death. ”

The eight children were all standing aside, and Chen Miao looked a little uncomfortable.

"Auntie, it's always good to go on day by day."

"I just want to live a few more days, even if it is even a burden for my grandson, I want to watch him grow up."

Chen Miao put down five catties of cornmeal, although it is not much, but who will give you food for nothing at this time? For a family like theirs, giving food is life.

"Thank you so much, comrade."

"Auntie, there's not much I can do."

"You are a great good man."

I sighed, I wanted to do something meaningful, I wanted to help others. But when I really encountered it, I felt powerless.

I went to another house and saw a woman squatting in the corner.

"This is my mother, she has a bad brain."

Where is this bad brain, this is crazy. It must have been stimulated by something to become like this.

"It's just you two at home?"

Liao Zhixiang shook his head: "My father went to work outside." ”

I don't see that this family is better off than the Minzi's family, can't a big man earn money to support his family?

"Comrade, Uncle Liao only has one leg."

Chen Miao understands that he is a disabled person, and it is difficult for normal people to find a job now, let alone a disabled person.

I also put down five catties of cornmeal, and I can't give anything else now, I still have to think of a way, if these children can be cultivated now, there will be a group of trustworthy people in the future.

Ermin's family is not much better, in fact, this is also normal. Who wants to live here if the conditions are good?

"My parents go out looking for food."

The other families have their own misfortunes, and they are all living too hard anyway.

The food in the car was distributed to them, "You can't go to the construction site, it's too dangerous." ”

"We just want to subsidize our families."

"Knowing that you are all good boys, then you can't go again."

"Comrade, are you the leader? Why do the people on the construction site listen to your orders? ”

"I'm a leader."

"Comrade, can you help us?"

Chen Miao didn't speak, looking down at the eight children.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Can you find us a job? We have the strength to make money on our own. ”

Chen Miao was quite satisfied with their answers. Self-reliant and did not think about relying on others.

"There's no job for you, I'll go back and think about it.

I like obedient children, and if I find out that you are disobedient and go to the construction site, then I can't take care of it. ”

"Don't worry, comrade, we will be obedient."

Chen Miao had already found that there were a lot of children around, both boys and girls, and they all looked skinny. The expression on his face was full of sadness, and this kind of expression should not have appeared on a child of a few years old at all.

It's not about these eight children now, and there are so many miserable people who are wandering in their fate.

Chen Miao rode a bicycle and thought about how to solve this matter.

The children are too young to work. And none of their families are sound laborers.

If you want to help them, you can almost completely raise them. It's just that there is no big problem for them to eat and drink, but what about the future? Isn't she too virgin?

"It's too hot, why didn't you come earlier?" Feng Lingwei gave Chen Miao water.

"Taste it, it's sweet."

Chen Miao really didn't drink cold water, so he took out his own kettle and drank a few sips.

"I went to the house of some of the kids who were here yesterday to pick up the rubbish. Brother Feng, it turns out that there are so many poor people we can't imagine. ”

"It's going to get better."

Chen Miao sighed, "Yes, I'm afraid they won't live to that time." ”

"You want to help them?"

Chen Miao nodded, "Yes." I wanted to, but I didn't have any ideas.

Brother Feng, you also know that my stall outside is quite big, in fact, I have thought about cultivating my own people. But I'm afraid that something will go wrong. ”

"You can react upward, and you will not be ashamed of what you do in the end."

Chen Miao could tell that Feng Lingwei did not approve of cultivating his own people.

She also felt that it was not the right time, and she felt uncomfortable watching such a big child so difficult.

"Chen Miao, how many such children are there in the country? You're just a person, don't hold it if you don't have the ability to do it. ”

"Brother Feng, do you think I'll let them go to the farm? They eat according to their own ability, and they have food and wages when they work. It also gives them the opportunity to learn. ”

"But they are too young for their families to be able to work? You have to think about all of this.

It's not that there is no land in the surrounding area, but they are still waiting for government subsidies here, do you want to think about your solution? ”

Chen Miao sighed, "It's that I think it's too simple." I'll think about what to do? ”

"Let's go, go out and see the foundations of the wall being dug."

"It should be soon, right?"

"Of course, so many people are working fast, don't worry."

Indeed, there must be more than 200 people working on the site now. The location of the fence has been sprinkled with lime on the line. In just a few hours, I have already dug a fifth, and the speed is fast enough.

There are a lot of stones, bricks, and ash sent on the construction site. Someone has set the unloading position, and it looks quite regular.
