What happened?

Ji Yuanhai and everyone were a little strange, after the driver opened the car door, someone got out of the car to look, and only came back after a while.

"I'm in the way."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this: "Huh? ”

"What's going on?"

"Aren't we driving a car, someone stopped the car and asked if they could give me some food, saying that they hadn't eaten for two days and were so hungry." The person who came back from the front explained.

Everyone talked about it, some were surprised, some sighed.

Before entering the county seat of Wangtan County, I first saw what this well-known poor county in the province looked like, and this situation could actually occur.

Is Wangtan County so poor here?

Ji Yuanhai stood up and said, "Do we have any biscuits or anything like that in the car?" Give them a solution to their urgent needs. ”

"I don't think there will be anything to eat in the front leader's car, don't make things stiff."

As soon as he said this, Fang Lijuan took out half a bag of calcium milk biscuits from the small bag she was carrying and handed it to him.

Ji Yuanhai nodded and looked at the others.

Others took out a few more biscuits, sweets and other snacks one after another.

Ji Yuanhai took these things and got out of the car, and saw Luo Zhilin and Zhang Bo in front of them also got out of the car, and they were talking to a few people who were covered in tattered clothes and with patches, accompanied by the driver and secretary.

It was a couple leading four children, their expressions were frightened and cramped, and they were a little numb, looking at Luo Zhilin and them with their mouths slightly open.

Seeing Ji Yuanhai coming over with biscuits and candy, Luo Zhilin suddenly showed joy: "Xiao Ji, you came just in time, these fellows are hungry!" ”

Ji Yuanhai said: "We are not traveling, you and Director Zhang should not have brought these here, my colleagues and I brought everything we brought with us." ”

As he spoke, he handed the biscuits in his hand to the family of six.

The family of six was so hungry that they quickly took it and began to devour it, and then they all coughed violently—eating so quickly that the crumbs of the biscuits choked on their throats.

Ji Yuanhai went back to get the cup and poured water, and the family quickly drank the water and began to eat biscuits again.

After one person ate a few cookies, the man in charge of the house forcibly stopped the family and put away the remaining cookies and candies.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"If it weren't for your kindness, our family would still be hungry, and I don't know if we would have been able to eat."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, and there was a little food in his stomach, and he began to feel ashamed and ashamed of his obstruction of food.

If he hadn't had no choice, he wouldn't have been able to do such a thing.

Luo Zhilin asked, "Fellow countryman, your family is from Wangtan County, right?" How did you starve like this? Don't have food at home? ”

"Yes, this year's grain hasn't been harvested from the field." The man wiped away his tears and said, "Last year's food was gone. ”

"Our family of six only has six points of land, and we can't eat any good grain in the field, and if we destroy the seedlings now, we will have to starve to death in the second half of this year."

After speaking, he thanked him again.

Luo Zhilin asked, "Fellow countryman, are there many cases like you in Wangtan County?" ”

The man looked at the crowd and whispered, "Not much." ”

He now had something to eat in his stomach, and at last he had the energy to look at the faces and mannerisms of the people; At this time, I heard Luo Zhilin ask this, and I didn't say anything else.

Luo Zhilin glanced at the man and nodded: "That's okay." ”

Turning his head to Zhang Bo and Ji Yuanhai, he said: "The situation in Wangtan County is quite grim, and under such circumstances, it is especially important to supervise the development of agricultural production so that the local people can eat." ”

Zhang Bo immediately responded: "Yes, we must do a good job in this regard." ”

He said to the couple: "Fellow countryman, take care, we still have important things to do, and it is not good to delay in time." ”

The couple hurriedly led the child back two steps, thanking them again and again.

While thanking, he wiped his tears, and knelt down and kowtowed.

Luo Zhilin, Zhang Bo, Ji Yuanhai and others hurriedly helped them up, telling them not to do this.

At this moment, Ji Yuanhai saw a little red coming out of the mouth of one of the seven or eight-year-old children in their family, and leaned over to look at it in some surprise.

"Why is there blood in this child's mouth?"

The boy was very obedient, opened his mouth to show him, and explained: "I ate something delicious just now, but I ate it too fast and bit my tongue." ”

His dad felt embarrassed and gave him a pat on the back.

Ji Yuanhai looked at this skinny child with blood in his mouth, and he inevitably felt compassion in his heart. The family has eaten this meal, and when will they be able to eat the next meal?

This child is inevitably miserable.

After Luo Zhilin and Zhang Bo greeted the family, they had already walked to the car.

Ji Yuanhai didn't rush to leave, but said: "It's not a way for your family to do this now, the time to the summer harvest is not short, how can you survive it next?" ”

"Walk north for another half a day, and go to Lingshi County next door to ask for some food, so that the family can survive." The man said, "Our family was also very hungry, and we didn't borrow food for a day in the village, and I didn't borrow food when I went to my father-in-law's house, so we started to go out." ”

"Are there many people in the village who ask for food?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"Six or seven out of ten, and the rest are not well fed." The man said, glancing at Ji Yuanhai again, "I see that you are not ordinary people, and I shouldn't have told you." ”

"Isn't it bad that I said that? Or would you just say it to me? ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "How can this be regarded as not being said?" If there is anything to say, you have nothing to worry about. ”

"I see that your son has bitten his tongue, and then he will ask for food, in case he eats something unclean, it will become serious."

The man was inevitably a little worried when he heard this.

But then he made an expression of nothing in front of Ji Yuanhai's eyes: "It's okay, this kid's life is hard, this is not a big deal." ”

"As long as the croppers have food and drink, they are not afraid of the sky falling, let alone this little thing."

When Ji Yuanhai heard him call himself a "cropper", he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wangtan County is so barren that the arable land is pitifully small, and it is really difficult to survive by growing crops alone.

Moreover, this couple does have a lot of children, but as long as there are only one or two children, life will be much easier......

Ji Yuanhai was about to ask more about the situation in Wangtan County, and when he saw that the car had already started and someone beckoned him to get into the car, he said, "If you need help, you can go to your guest house in Wangtan County to find me." ”

"I'll probably be there for three or four days."

After speaking, Ji Yuanhai also said goodbye to the family and turned around and got into the car.
