The moment Su Mo stepped into the room, he was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

The whole room was small, and there was a bed in it, a square table that could not be seen to be old, and a cabinet with two holes in the cabinet, and one less door, and a stove on the other side, and a water tank, next to which dry firewood was placed.

On the roof, the rainwater dripped down the beams, and there were two basins on the bed, and the rainwater on them dripped down and into the basin.

But the bed was already wet, and the whole house was like a water curtain hole, such a house...... There are really people living here, and it's still an old man of this age.

Everything in front of him made Su Mo's heart as uncomfortable as pressing a stone.

Su Mo looked at the old man, his eyes were slightly red, and he asked, "Grandpa, you live here?" What about your family? ”

Wang Bao smiled helplessly, "I don't have a family, I'm the only one in my family." Young man, look at your face, you are not from the village, right? ”

Although he is old, he is neither dazzling nor deaf.

"Grandpa, I'm the new branch secretary, this situation in your family ...... I wonder how the village solved it for you. ”

The state focuses on supporting the elderly in the village who are in such a situation as Wang Bao.

But seeing Wang Bao's situation, Su Mo frowned, if the village really helped him, he would not live in such a house, and this house could collapse at any time.

The helpless smile on Wang Bao's face deepened, "I'm an old man, what do I want to solve, just have a hot meal to eat every day, and the six-point dealers in the field are all young men in the village to take care of me, what else...... I don't ask for anything. ”

He felt that he had to learn to be content, although he lived alone, he was a little lonely, but who called his family poor, and he never even married a daughter-in-law in his life.

"Grandpa, that's not what I said, now the country attaches great importance to you, I came here because the country sent me, sent me to help our village, if you have anything to say, you can tell me, I will definitely help you do it."

Su Mo grabbed the old man's rough hand.

His grandfather is almost so old, but the lives of two old people are one in heaven and the other on earth.

Wang Bao looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of joy, "I really don't have anything, I just want to wait for the weather to be fine, can you help me make up the roof, this rain will not be the same at home, it's quite annoying." ”

"Grandpa, do you receive a state subsidy every month? Are you now a Five-Guarantee Household? ”

Wang Bao shook his head, "I'm such an old man, as long as I can eat enough, what I can't guarantee will not add trouble to the country." ”

It seems that tomorrow he will go to the old village chief to find out more about the situation.

The rain outside gradually subsided, Su Mo looked at the sky through the window, and asked in a choked voice, "Grandpa, have you eaten at night?" ”

Being asked by Su Mo like this, Wang Bao's wrinkled face flushed slightly, "It's not too late yet, let's go and see what's missing at home." ”

Su Mo sniffed and stood up from the chair, "Grandpa, why don't I make you dinner today, and you can also try my craftsmanship to see if it's okay." ”

"This can't be done, how can this work, you are the party secretary of our village, how can I let you serve me, an old man, no, no."

Wang Bao was a little panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Su Mo pressed Wang Bao, "It's okay, you just treat me as your grandson, what does the grandson cook for grandpa, and when I'm at home, I often cook it for my grandfather." ”

After that, Su Mo had already rolled up his sleeves, hurriedly washed his hands with a basin of water, and then walked to the stove, and suddenly the movements in his hands froze.

He didn't smoke and didn't even have a lighter on him.

Wang Bao seemed to see Su Mo's embarrassment, he stepped forward and smiled, "Do the fire for me, you get something else." ”

There was not much white flour left in the noodle jar, and there was a small jar full of cornmeal, and when I opened the pot, there were some things left that I couldn't see one by one.

Su Mo pointed and asked with some hesitation, "Grandpa, what is this?" ”

It's normal for the children in his city to never see a lot of things.

"This is a pickle, it is the best to drink it with porridge, and it can be eaten for a year in a jar of pickles, which is the most cost-effective."

Is this pickles? Su Mo couldn't believe his eyes.

In the end, he used cornmeal and white flour together, simply baked two oil cakes for the old man, and then made a bowl of paste with corn, originally wanting to find some vegetables and cook another dish for him.

But in the whole house, there was no trace of any other vegetables except pickles.

All this ...... It can be seen how difficult an old man's life is.

If he hadn't come here and seen the situation in front of him, such a life would have been unimaginable for Su Mo as a city kid in his life. After all, for Su Mo in the past, he had only seen it on TV.

Early the next morning, Su Mo opened his eyes and went to Zhang Guodong's house.

"Village chief, I want to know some basic information about the village."

Zhang Guodong had just come out of the thatched house, and his trouser belt was stopped by Su Mo before he could tie it.

Stunned, and with another big yawn, he reacted, he patted Su Mo on the shoulder, and said as he walked into the room.

"Let's wash our hands and eat first, and ask slowly at the dinner table, don't worry. Your aunt gave you vinegar shredded potatoes in the morning, you can taste it. ”

As soon as he sat down at the dinner table, Liu Guihua, who came up with the dishes, stuffed Su Mo with a big white and fat steaming steamed bun, which was bigger than a man's fist.

On the table, millet porridge, potatoes and pickles, the whole table looks very delicious.

After Su Mo took a big bite of everything on his face, he gave Liu Guihua a thumbs up, "Auntie, you don't have this skill, it's better than the spoon in the restaurant." ”

"Hehe, look at the small mouth, it's so sweet, eat more if it's delicious." Liu Guihua was coaxed to laugh, which is called a music.

Su Mo is about the same age as her son, her son doesn't come home all year round, and now that Su Mo is here, she can be regarded as putting all the things that are good for her son on Su Mo.

"What do you want me to know?"

If you're still in a hurry, can't you wait until you go to the brigade? Did you go out last night and find something? Zhang Guodong couldn't stop thinking in his heart.

Su Mo swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Is there a lonely old man named Wang Bao in our village?" "He didn't go around the bend with Zhang Guodong, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible.

"When it rained yesterday, you went to Wang Bao's house?" Yesterday, Zhang Guodong waited almost until nine o'clock in Su Mo, and fell asleep before he saw that people had not come back.

Su Mo nodded, "Old village chief, how many five-guarantee households are there in our village?" ”

Zhang Guodong got up from the chair after drinking the last mouthful of porridge, "Don't ask me about this, now let's go to the brigade, I'll show you the registration forms of the five guarantee households, poor households and low-income households, don't you know." ”

"That's fine, then let's go now."

In the office of the village brigade, Su Mo held a registration form in his hand and looked down seriously.

"Old village chief, tell me about Wang Bao's situation."

"Wang Bao? Although the old man is a five-guarantee household, he doesn't want anything to live or die every time he is sent, he doesn't even want subsidies, and he doesn't want to settle the house for him. Speaking of Wang Bao, Zhang Guodong had a headache.

"Why?" This Su Mo couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Guodong shook his head and sighed, "What else can I do, saying that it is a house left by his ancestors, even if he dies, he will die there, saying that he doesn't want to cause trouble to the country, let's treat him as if he exists." ”

This can also be done? Su Mo was surprised.

"What about the annual subsidies given by the state?"

"He was only rated as a five-guarantee household the year before last, and he received money in the first year, but he didn't want to live or die last year. Last year and the subsidy for the first half of this year, I deposited it in his passbook, and if he wanted it, he could take it at any time. "For this old man, Zhang Guodong also has a headache.

Su Mo, "Old village chief, didn't you explain to Grandpa Wang what a five-guarantee household is?" "Some elderly people don't understand the true meaning of the five guarantees, and it is very likely that they will be misunderstood.

Zhang Guodong scratched his head, "I didn't say so much about this at the time. ”

What do you need to explain for the five guarantees? This thing...... Thinking so much? Faced with an old village chief who was a little older than his father, he really didn't know what to say.

It took a long time for Su Mo to find his voice, "The old village chief, the five guarantee households in the village, confirm it in the morning, and then give me the list, and in the afternoon, I will visit one by one to have an in-depth understanding of the situation." ”

"You have also seen that there are only three five-guarantee households in our village, and among them, Wang Bao's family is the most special."
