"Then all your income depends on selling dates?" Yunfeng asked.

The old man said: "What else can I do if I don't sell dates, I'm old now, my body is not good, and I can't do anything else." ”

"Master, you've worked hard, it's not easy."

Yunfeng let go of the camera in his hand.

"It can't be helped." The old man sighed.

As he spoke, he continued to kneel on the ground and began to pick up dates.

Yun Feng glanced at Guo Sheng, he walked over and handed the camera to Guo Sheng.

"I won't take pictures today, I'll help the old man pick up dates."

Guo Sheng took the camera and nodded, he could understand Yun Feng's thoughts.

Yun Feng came to the old man's side again and said, "Master, I'll help you pick up dates together." ”

The old man smiled, "Okay." ”

There are two bamboo baskets on the ground, one is a large bamboo basket that can be carried on your back, and the other is a small bamboo basket that can be carried by hand.

Yunfeng squatted down and began to pick up dates, the red dates were scattered on the ground, and he could only pick them up one by one with his hands.

Pick up the dates and put them in a small bamboo basket, fill a basket and pour them into the large bamboo basket.

After picking up the dates on the ground, Yunfeng picked up the bamboo pole and began to beat the dates.

As soon as the pole went down, the branches shook, and the red dates fell from the branches, densely packed like a torrential rain.

Yun Feng and the old man continued to pick up dates.

After squancing for a long time, his knees couldn't stand it at all, and Yun Feng simply knelt on the ground to pick up dates, and he didn't care about the loess on the ground, and after a while, his trouser legs were also stained with loess.

Guo Sheng silently took a handheld camera for a while, and then joined the team to pick up dates.

With the help of the two of them, the big bamboo basket was soon full, and the red dates were full, and there were only a dozen centimeters left from the edge of the bamboo basket.

The old man said, "Enough, enough!" No need to pick it up again. ”

"Okay, then I'll carry it for you." Cloud Wind Channel.

As he spoke, he had already squatted down and wanted to carry the big bamboo basket on the ground on his back.

"I'll carry it." The old man snatched the strap from Yunfeng's hand.

"If you can't carry it, I'll carry it."

It is impossible for Yunfeng to let the old man carry this basket of red dates.

This basket of red dates weighs dozens of pounds, to say the least, and it is definitely not light.

The two pushed and shoved for a while, but in the end, the old man still let Yun Feng carry it, and the old man helped Yun Feng lift the bamboo basket, and Yun Feng carried it behind him.

A basket of red dates was carried behind him, and Yun Feng's back was also a little rickety.

It's really heavy, it's the same as carrying a person behind your back.

"Master, where are we going to carry this date?" Yunfeng asked.

"Go to my house and drink saliva together." The old man said.

"Okay, then you tell us how to go next."

Yun Feng also walked towards the bottom of the mountain in high spirits, and the old man followed behind him with another small bamboo basket.

Facing the loess with his back to the sky, Yunfeng also experienced this feeling once today.

When he was picking up dates before, he asked the old man about the situation in his home again, and the old man's name was Han De.

The son fell ill and died more than twenty years ago, leaving behind a grandson.

Now the grandson is also working in the city to earn money, and Han De and his wife who are paralyzed in bed are left at home.

Although there is a state subsidy, even a family in the city cannot withstand a sick person, let alone a person living in such a place.

The family had a little money, so Han De took it to see his wife, and the family's life was very poor.

On the way, Guo Sheng asked, "Can you carry it?" ”

"It's okay, I can carry it, and the rice is not eaten for nothing."

Guo Sheng said: "It is estimated that the road is still far away, if you can't carry it, you will replace me." ”

"Okay."

Han De quickened his pace and walked in the front to lead the way for Yunfeng and the others.

After walking for a long time, he went down a section of the road from the loess slope, and turned several corners on the curved road between the loess slopes, and a village appeared in Yunfeng's sight.

The houses in the village are scattered on the loess slope, standing on a high place and looking at the past, every house is basically a cave.

Han De pointed to a large courtyard in front of him and said, "That's my house." ”

Yun Feng looked over, and the courtyard was enclosed by a wall, just at the foot of a loess mountain, and there were three caves built next to each other.

Yun Feng's physical strength was good, and his speed was fast, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the courtyard.

He was really a little tired on his back, and he just wanted to quickly put down the bamboo basket and rest for a while, the old man followed closely, and finally Guo Sheng with a camera.

Entering the courtyard and under a shed, Han De helped Yunfeng take off the big bamboo basket on his back.

Yunfeng felt a lightness on his back, it was like carrying a mountain on his back before, but now it is much more comfortable.

He glanced around, and it was an ordinary rural scene, except that the houses here were caves.

Han De beckoned, "Come with me." ”

The meaning of the future is the younger generation, the meaning of the young, and it is also the commonly used name of the people here, and Yunfeng has heard many people call it this way these days.

Yun Feng and the others followed Han De into a cave together.

There is a lot of space in the cave, there are sofas, cabinets and tables at the door, etc., and the innermost is a kang, and this house is a home.

Han De turned on the light on the roof, and the room was lit up.

It is said to be a lamp, but it is actually an incandescent light bulb hanging in the air, and a wire is pulled behind it and plugged into the socket.

After having the light, Yun Feng saw a white-haired old man lying on the bed.

He walked over to the kang and sat down, and the old man looked at him.

"Mother, I've come to see you." Cloud Wind Channel.

Han De said: "She doesn't speak very well now. ”

Yun Feng continued to communicate with the old man for a few words, but the other party only replied with modal words, unable to say a complete sentence.

Yun Feng looked around, the furniture here was a little old, and the floor was covered with wooden planks, which were also dirty.

"Master, how long have you been living here?"

"Thirty or forty years."

"Now you two are going to stay here." Yunfeng asked again.

"yes, the kids aren't here now."

As he spoke, Han De's eyes turned red, and he quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

These words reminded Han De of the death of his son.

Yun Feng comforted: "Master, you want to open a little, the matter has passed." ”

Han De muttered: "My son is gone, and then my wife is also paralyzed on the kang, and I can't do anything." ”

His tears could no longer stop flowing, and he could only wipe them with a handkerchief.

More than 20 years ago, his son left and gave birth to a little grandson, and his wife was paralyzed more than ten years ago.

With no other income, he can only make a living by selling dates, and as a result, he can't earn a few dollars throughout the year.

The burden of the family is on this seventy-nine-year-old man.

"Master, what do you usually eat? Can you eat meat? ”

Han De shook his head and said: "Eat noodles, don't eat meat, meat is too expensive, as soon as you have money, you will take it to your wife to see a doctor, and you don't have money to eat meat." ”

"Is there anything you lack at home now?"

Yun Feng really wanted to help the old man.

The old man sighed and said, "I can't tell you, I don't have anything." ”

Yun Feng's heart became even more uncomfortable.

He wanted to help the old man, but he couldn't do anything now.

After chatting with Han De for a while, Yunfeng really couldn't talk anymore.

The days are bitter and sad.

In addition to the state subsidy, the family's income is to sell dates, but the dates cannot be sold.

Yun Feng finally sighed and said, "Master, then let's go first." ”

"Good, good." Han Dedao.

Yun Feng looked at the old man on the kang and said, "Mother, I'll go, you pay attention to your body." ”

"Okay." The old man waved his hand.

Han De sent Yunfeng to the gate of the courtyard, and Yunfeng held the old man's hand.

"I'll go back and find a way for you, and I'll come over when I come up with a way." Cloud Wind Channel.

There was no light in Han De's eyes, as if he felt that what Yun Feng said was just words of comfort to him.

"Goodbye, master."

Yun Feng and Guo Sheng left the village together.

The two of them walked for almost an hour before finally finding a place where they parked.

The straight-line distance is not far, that is, on the road, it will go up and down for a while, and go around and around.

This is the road that people in the village have to take if they want to go out.

Sitting in the car, Yunfeng sighed.

"What do you think can be done about this?"

Guo Sheng also shook his head: "No problem." ”

This is really no problem, even if Yunfeng and they give the old man a sum of money now, it is useless, it can only solve the problem for a while, it is nothing more than raising the soup to stop the boiling.

"I'm not shooting today, let's go back." Cloud Wind Channel.

He was out of mood, and Guo Sheng also nodded.

The two returned to the city.

In the hotel room, Guo Sheng began to edit the video, and Yunfeng sat on the bed with his eyes closed.

His mind kept echoing with Han De's tears.

After a long time, Guo Sheng shouted: "The video is ready, I sent it." ”

"Send it."

Yunfeng said casually.

Guo Sheng uploaded the video to the short video platform, and the two of them stared at each other, and they both began to think about how to help Han De.

In the afternoon, Liu Lei called the two to have dinner together.

Everyone sat together, Liu Lei saw that the two of them were not in a very good state, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Sheng talked about their events today.

Liu Lei also sighed and said, "This ...... It's really too hard. ”

"We've been thinking about it for a long time, and there's nothing we can do." Guo Sheng sighed.

At this time, Liu Lei's wife Li Nan said: "You might as well think of a way to sell those red dates, it is also an income." ”

Guo Sheng said: "We asked, most of the dates here can't be sold, and no one collects them." ”

If there are no big businessmen to come and collect the dates, the dates can only be retailed, but the retail can only sell how much.

The loess is a poor and remote area, and few people come.

There is no solution to this problem.

The crowd fell silent.

Suddenly, Liu Lei slapped the table and said excitedly: "Why do we have to wait for someone to collect dates when we sell dates, we can sell them ourselves!" ”

"How can we sell it ourselves?" Guo Sheng wondered.

"Yunfeng, how many fans do you have now?" Liu Lei asked.

Yun Feng said: "More than a million." ”

Liu Lei said: "You have so many fans, you can use the short video live broadcast to bring goods!" No, you can sell the dates! ”

Yun Feng frowned and said, "This ...... Will fans buy it? ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Liu Lei said.

"Why don't I send a video and ask everyone first?" Yunfeng asked.

He took out his phone and opened the short video software.

There were a lot of messages and private message prompts, and when Yun Feng saw those messages, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
