Chapter 42, Methods

"It has only been a few days since this refugee was resettled?"

Mrs. Yan is still very concerned about refugees. First, this is a major issue about the achievements of the elderly. Second, on the way from home to Yixian this time, they also pretended to be refugees, knowing the hardships of refugees, naturally. I hope that the refugees can settle down earlier.

Yan Zhigao nodded, “Isn’t it, it’s because it’s not long before the refugees are resettled. If this time, the wealthy gentry of Linyi County should donate, it’s really not easy to talk about it.”

The old lady Yan narrowed her eyebrows: "Is there no other way for the county government?"

Yan Zhigao sighed: “Linyi County is not rich. The only savings of the county government were used up when the refugees were resettled last time. Now it is really impossible to use the extra money to help the refugees.”

Originally, he thought that this time he could be valued by the refugee resettlement. Maybe his county magistrate could rise by one level. But now, if the resettled refugees freeze to death and starve to death, it would be good for him not to be held accountable. Yes, let alone promotion.

If it weren’t because of the pressure, he wouldn’t talk about official business at the dinner table.

Thinking that the distress letter he had written to several neighboring county magistrates had not been replied, Yan Zhigao's brows were tightly twisted together.

The officialdom is a vanity fair. He has a meager background, no foundation, and wealth. It is too difficult to get the support of his superiors and colleagues.

"Daddy, the refugees are so pitiful, or else, in the future, we will eat less and give them the food we saved so that they will not starve to death." Yan Yishuang said suddenly, sympathy and unbearable between her eyebrows.

Yan Zhigao squeezed a smile on his face, and praised Yan Yishuang, "My son is kind, but these are not what you should worry about. Eat your meal well, don't think about saving food, you have to know If children don’t have enough to eat, they won’t grow taller."

Yan Yi nodded weakly: "Daddy should also take care of your body. Daughter doesn't think you have eaten much."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao smiled relievedly, and reached out his hand to pick up a chopsticks dish for Yan Yi: "Hurry up and eat."

Ms. Li sat aside and watched, thinking for a while and said: "Master, there is still some food at home, or else."

Yan Zhigao shook her head to stop Mrs. Li: "Our family just took out all the food stocks, and it couldn't help a few refugees. Okay, everyone will eat quickly. I will go to discuss with the masters tomorrow, and I can always think of a way."

Taohua silently ate the rice in the bowl, suddenly her eyes rolled, and she quickly looked at her elder brother who was eating quietly.

This eldest brother usually has heavy schoolwork, and she can’t bother him too much, but in the end it is her own brother. She is still very concerned about his affairs.

For example, she knows that her eldest brother is very popular with teachers and students in the county school because of his good knowledge.

Yan Wenxiu felt Daohua’s gaze, looked up, and smiled softly: "Big sister, is there something on my face?"

Daohua shook her head, smiled and asked: "Brother, I heard that you have many good friends in the county school?"

Yan Wenxiu didn’t know what Daohua meant, and nodded sternly: “Everyone is a classmate, and it’s common to get together to discuss studies with each other.”

Daohua: "Then your classmates are very rich at home, right?"

She knows that in this era, those who can go to the county school, except for a few who are particularly well-educated, are basically from a little background at home.

Yan Wenxiu doesn't like rice flowers and puts money on her lips at every turn, frowning slightly: "Big sister, make friends with knowledge and character as the most important thing. Brothers don't care whether others have money or not."

Inahua paused, ignoring the meaning of this big brother, and asked: "Then big brother, do you usually hold some extracurricular activities?"

Yan Wen shaved his face and asked: "Extracurricular activities?"

Daohua: "For example, go out to gather wind and snow in winter, and then come back and write something about it?"

Yan Wenxiu was silent for a moment: “The master in the county school would let us get together to write poems, but they don’t go out. They usually take part in the county school.”

Daohua's eyes lit up: "What's the point of holding it in the county school, brother, look at it, now the earth is covered in silver, so beautiful and poetic. Look, do you want to suggest to the county school? What did the master in here tell you to go out to gather for collections? It’s best to go to the refugee resettlement place to experience the human suffering."

As soon as these words came out, the dinner table immediately became quiet, everyone looked up at Daohua, even Yan Zhigao also looked over.

Yan Wenxiu: "Big sister, what do you want to say?"

Daohua: "What I want to say is, eldest brother, look, when I heard my father talk about refugees lacking clothes and food, the third younger sisters can go on a diet and say they want to help the refugees. Those of your classmates, after seeing the tragedy of the refugees with their own eyes, Wouldn't it mean anything?"

Yan Wenxiu was stunned, then looked at his father whose eyes lit up.

Inahua continued: "Look, those students who are in the county school have some assets at home. You can contribute a little, and my family can contribute a little. If you accumulate little and earn more, you can help a lot of refugees."

"Also, they are all baby bumps in the family. If parents know that their children are so young and know how to help the weak, they will definitely raise their hands and feet in favor." He said, turning his head to look at the old lady Yan, "Grandma, you Say yes?"

The old lady Yan nodded her head with a smile: "Yes, if my eldest grandson is going to help the refugees, my old lady is willing to give you 200 shi of grain to support you." This year, the three children have been transported to Linyi County.

Originally, she wanted to sell part of the food when the price of food was high, but because of the experience of being a refugee and seeing the hardships of the underground people, she had no idea about it. Now the food is still renting. In the warehouse.

The expressions of several sons and daughters-in-law moved after hearing the words of the old lady.

200 stone grain is not too much, but it is not too much.

However, apart from the dozens of acres of land left by our ancestors, all the other fields were bought by the old lady in these years. Therefore, several sons also acquiesced that these fields were the private property of the old lady.

Since    is private property, the old lady can handle it whatever she wants.

Daohua smiled and turned to look at Yan Wenxiu who was already staying: "Brother, look, grandmother is willing to give you 200 shi of grain for you, then the family of your classmates will definitely support them."

"After you have food, you can go with your classmates to distribute food to the refugees. In this way, you can gain the gratitude of the refugees and experience life. The best of both worlds."

Yan Wenxiu swallowed, "Are we going to distribute food in person?"

Daohua took it for granted: "Of course, my eldest brother, I ask you, why are you studying so hard now? Isn't it just to test your fame and become an official in the future? And being an official is to do things for the people, right now? , Just feel in advance what you have to do when you enter officialdom in the future."

Yan Wenxiu was still digesting Daohua, but Yan Zhigao was already excited.

The eldest daughter is a good way!

He can't talk to the rich squire now, but their son is so good.

Furthermore, this is still a very good opportunity to accumulate fame. He is sure that if this is done, the wealthy squires will definitely be willing to donate things.

Yan Zhigao looked at Daohua with satisfaction.

Before, his mother and third brother always said how smart the eldest daughter is. He didn’t think so. He felt that they just preferred the eldest daughter. But what he said at the dinner table today made him discover that the eldest daughter is really transparent. .

Yan Wenxiu felt a little unsure: "But. Such a big thing, can we students do it?"

Inahana nodded earnestly: "Brother, you have to believe in yourself, who hasn’t had the first time. Besides, isn’t there a father behind you? If you don’t understand, just ask your father."
