After breakfast, the women's director took Yang Jiewen to the village meeting room.

Three or four members had already come over for breakfast. So they began to discuss topics that had not yet been concluded yesterday.

At this time, Zhou Tangrong, Teacher Yao and other members came over one after another. As soon as everyone arrived, the discussion immediately began to enter the central topic, and they invited the village cadres to participate in the discussion.

Mr. Yao is now mainly responsible for the translation and dialogue between the two parties, and the conversation between the two parties began to seem relatively relaxed.

In view of the situation of this family that Mr. Yao learned about yesterday, the members of the help team tried to take advantage of this to understand and verify with the cadres of this village, and they hoped to visit the poor family in the morning, and then discuss how to carry out the help activities.

The village secretary and village chief seem to be reluctant to express their opinions on the family's living conditions. It was only at the suggestion of the members that they reluctantly stated that they would immediately lead them to the family's home.

According to Mr. Yao's translation, the owner of this family is surnamed Hao, and the male protagonist is Hao Maolin, who is less than forty years old, and only his wife is at home, and he has somehow gone crazy in the past few years. One of her two boys is thirteen years old, and her younger brother is ten years old this year.

This home is a free-standing stilted building standing at the foot of the mountain, and it looks like no other house from a distance. But the roof of this house is not like the roof of other houses, it is very dark, I don't know what material is used to cover it, but I see a black press, overgrown with weeds, and covered with dead branches and leaves.

Teacher Yao explained to them that the whole cedar tree was soaked in the river for more than three months, and then the whole bark was peeled off with a barking knife and flattened to the roof. This practice is common in the local area, and the black grass on the roof indicates that the house has been around for some years.

When Yang Jiewen and her entourage walked into the house, they found that the ground floor was an empty mud floor, as if it had never been leveled, and it was estimated that the appearance of the house was still preserved.

According to Mr. Yao, the local residents on the first floor of the ground are all uninhabited, and most of them are only used to raise cattle, feed pigs, and put sheep and objects. Apparently, the family had rarely raised cattle in the past, fed pigsty or sheep, and some dead grass and leaves were scattered on the ground. Yang Jiewen and the others walked up a wooden staircase in the house before they came to this house.

There was a mad woman living in the house, the house was very dirty, the objects on the ground were scattered everywhere, the house was mixed with a fishy smell, and there were many places of human feces on the straw.

The mad woman's face was black, she had not washed her face for a long time, she only had a pair of freely moving eyes that looked black and white, her hair was long from her shoulders to her waist, greasy and dirty, and in many places it was crumpled into grass cakes, and the ends of her hair were stained with many fragments of rice stalks and grass clippings.

The mad woman was sitting on the floor, rags, chewing a piece of hay in her mouth. Seeing so many people walking in, a light of fear immediately appeared in his eyes. I saw her moving her body step by step, her hands trembling, and her lips trembling irregularly.

"Sister Jiao, don't be afraid, we're coming to see you." The village secretary walked up to her and said loudly to the woman.

When the woman saw the village secretary, her fear was significantly reduced, but she did not react to the secretary's words at all.

Yang Jiewen walked up to her and squatted down, took out a loaf of bread from her bag, tore open the wrapping paper and handed it over. Suddenly, the mad woman reached out with a hand and snatched it quickly, opened her mouth and bit it, without even tearing the plastic paper of the bread.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, tear the plastic seal first, so that you can eat it." Yang Jiewen was about to tear off the plastic seal of the bread for her, but the crazy woman didn't appreciate it and hid the bread behind her back.

This bread was stuffed into Yang Jiewen's cloth bag by the village women's director just now.

The woman quickly ate all the bread into her stomach, and her eyes were still staring at Yang Jiewen's cloth bag and refused to move away. Yang Jiewen said softly: "It's a pity that I don't have it in my bag, otherwise, I will definitely give it all to you to eat." ”

Yang Jiewen was about to stand up, but the woman suddenly stretched out a dirty hand and grabbed her cloth bag and didn't let go. At this time, the village women's director came over, kicked her thigh hard, and shouted: "Sister Jiao, quickly release your dirty hands, otherwise, I will not be polite." ”

The crazy woman seemed to understand the meaning of her words, so she slowly let go of her hand, and Yang Jiewen could finally stand up straight.

"Sister Jiao, be honest, don't make our guests angry, we are bringing guests to help your family get through the difficulties, did you hear?"

Jiao Mei seemed to understand a little, looked out the window stupidly, and suddenly issued a series of words from her mouth: "Empty, empty, empty." ”

"What is empty, don't pretend, let me ask you, where are your two 'baby cubs' running crazy?" The village chief walked up to her and asked aloud questions.

"Empty, empty, empty." The mad woman still came out of her mouth.

Yang Jiewen called Teacher Yao aside and said, "Teacher Yao, you wait and ask this women's director, is there a master who can cut hairs in this village, if so, invite (him) her over, let's give this woman a haircut first." Then find a few women in the village, scrub her body, and it is best to give her another change of clothes, and then we will think of sending this woman to the hospital for treatment. ”

Teacher Yao walked over to talk to the women's director, only to see the women's director shaking her head constantly, a little emotional.

Teacher Yao came over to Yang Jiewen after a while and said, "This women's director disagrees with your suggestion, saying that it is useless to work on a crazy woman, which will make the people in the village laugh, she is not so stupid." ”

Yang Jiewen said disappointedly: "What should I do then? This woman has to be sent to the hospital for treatment, I have observed, in fact, her condition is not too serious, she can still understand some words, maybe she can be cured, why don't we work hard in this direction. ”

Teacher Yao said, "Ms. Yang, I understand your kindness, and I also support your suggestion very much, but it's a pity that I am not a woman, otherwise, I would have cut her hair, take a shower for her, change her clothes and send her to the hospital." ”

Yang Jiewen said to Teacher Yao: "Why don't you go and talk to her again, see if you can find a few women to come and help, can you cut this woman's hair a little shorter, wash her hair again, I will pay them a salary, pay five yuan each, and ask them if they are willing to do it?" Is this okay? ”

Teacher Yao went to communicate with the women's director again, and the women's director kept looking at Yang Jiewen, sometimes shaking her head, sometimes nodding. In the end, Teacher Yao came over and said to Yang Jiewen that the women's director meant that five yuan per person was too little, and at least ten yuan would be given before they could do it.

Yang Jiewen glanced at the women's director with contempt, and said to Teacher Yao, you go and tell her, who is willing to come to help, I will pay fifteen yuan per person to go out, and other requirements can not be mentioned.

The village women's director organized five women to come over, grabbed Jiaomei and cut the crazy woman's hair short by dividing it by two three times; He surrounded the wind woman and carried her out, and after half an hour, he carried the mad woman back. The women's director also told Teacher Yao that someone had changed the crazy woman's clothes and pants to see if she could give the woman another piece of clothing money?

Yang Jiewen paid them a hundred yuan, and the women's director happily gave them a share of the money, and the women left happily.

The madwoman still refused to sit down on the stool, so she sat down on the floor again. Zhou Tangrong walked over and discussed with Yang Jiewen what to do next? He asked Mr. Yao to call the secretary and the village chief over and ask how to arrange the matter of sending the crazy woman to the hospital?

The secretary and the village chief all looked embarrassed, and whispered to Teacher Yao for a while, and Teacher Yao said to Zhou Tangrong: "They can send someone to send this crazy woman down the mountain, but they can't go to the hospital without money, who will pay for the medical expenses?" Besides, escorts also need to hire people, and these expenses are probably expensive. ”

Director Zhou Tangrong was extremely disappointed with the cadres in this village, so he said sharply: "We are responsible for all this, you just need to send her to the hospital." ”

Then Zhou Tangrong said: "Also, in the morning, your village has to find a way to find these two children for me, Teacher Yao, in the future, please take charge of the education of these two children, and we will be responsible for sending you the expenses for their living and learning on time, please believe me." ”

Teacher Yao nodded and said, "Director Zhou, I believe in you, please be kind, I will arrange the learning situation of these two children as soon as possible." ”

The village chief said, these two children are used to being wild, I'm afraid there is not such a good education, Teacher Yao, can your school solve the accommodation problem of these two children, our village will find a way to solve their food problem, you take care of them more, so do you think it will work?

Teacher Yao said embarrassedly: "Actually, the school is just such a little place, not to mention that they have a place to live, but also the house where I live and the office space. However, since your village leaders have said it, I will go back and think of a way to see if the cadres of Maple Forest Valley can solve this problem for me. Now, I still can't promise that I'll bring you a letter when I go back and talk to them, okay? ”

"I think that's it, everyone will work in one place, and the heart will be in one place, and the difficulties will be overcome together, and it will always get better." The secretary of this village said.

Over the past day, some qualitative changes have taken place in the thinking and cognition of the cadres in this village, and this has made everyone secretly happy in their hearts.
