Early the next morning, what Jiang Ling was worried about happened, and the village head hurriedly pushed open the door of Jiang Ling's house.

At this moment, Jiang Ling was making breakfast and asking the children to eat with Jiang Zhishan. Seeing the village chief's hurried expression, Jiang Ling put down the last plate of fried bean sprouts and asked, "What's wrong with the village chief so early in the morning?"

"Jiang Shi, something happened to Mrs. Cao!" The village head said, pointing in the direction of Mrs. Cao's house.

Jiang Ling wiped his hands on the apron and asked, "What? What happened?"

The village chief didn't explain, and walked towards the door in a panic, followed by Jiang Ling.

On the way to Mrs. Cao, Jiang Ling understood the general meaning. Mrs. Cao's house is located in the north of the village. The location is not particularly remote, and there are several families living around it.

Early this morning, Mrs. Cao's neighbor Xiaodao Niang got up to cook in the morning, and suddenly heard a loud noise from Mrs. Cao's house next door.

Granny Cao is a widowed old man, and the warm-hearted Lu family would pay special attention to the widowed old man. When Xiaodao Niang heard this voice, she immediately called Xiaodao's father and Lu Xiaodao over and told them to go and see what happened to Granny Cao next door.

As a result, the two hurried over less than a minute after they went out, saying that Mrs. Cao had fallen and was unconscious.

So the family of three rushed to the village head's house to report the incident, and the village head hurried to find Jiang Ling.

After Jiang Ling heard what the village head said, she sighed a little. I don't know when, as long as there are big and small things in the village, the village head will definitely come back to discuss with her.

After they said this, they came to the place where Mrs. Cao lived.

The small courtyard is not big, it is full of dirt roads, and the thatched hut is extremely thin, and there are very few things inside, a simple stove, some cooking utensils, a four-corner table and finally a bed.

The whole room is not big, and the sun has not yet fully risen, so the light in the room seems a bit dim.

At this time, Mrs. Cao was lying on the bed, her forehead was wrapped in gauze, Zhu Langzhong was also invited by Mrs. Xiaodao, and was giving Mrs. Cao her pulse.

"It's a good thing I didn't hurt my head. My forehead is just a skin trauma. My mother-in-law is getting old, so I'd better be careful!" Zhu Langzhong said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no general idea. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cao, who was lying on the bed, burst into tears at this moment. First, she told her that it was not easy to be an old woman, and then she kept thanking Xiao Dao Niang and Zhu Langzhong.

Hearing Granny Cao's cry, Jiang Ling's heart ached.

In Lujia Village, although most of them are surnamed Lu, the people here don't reject outsiders. As long as they live here and don't make trouble or do evil, people in Lujia Village are actually very welcome.

"Old and old, and the old of people; young and young, and the young of people." This sentence suddenly appeared in Jiang Ling's mind, and at the same time, a thought slowly appeared in Jiang Ling's mind following this sentence .

Standing aside, Jiang Ling carefully thought through his thoughts, walked to the side of the village chief and whispered to the village chief: "Village chief, can you come out for a while? I have something to discuss with you."

The village head nodded repeatedly, and after comforting Mrs. Cao, he and Jiang Ling came out one after the other.

"Village chief, how many lonely old people are there in our village now?" Jiang Ling asked.

The village chief stroked his beard, turned his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "There are probably four more people alive now. Almost all of these old people escaped from other places. They were either separated from their families or abandoned by their families. That's a tragedy!"

Speaking of this, the village chief sighed heavily, and even the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

"Village chief, I have an idea, do you think it will work?" Jiang Ling turned his eyes and continued to the village chief: "These old people, can we gather them together, and then we can assign someone to take care of them, so really What happens, we have prepared in advance, otherwise, like today, if Little Dao Niang didn't find that Mrs. Cao fell, the consequences would be disastrous."

"And..." Speaking of this, Jiang Ling bit her lip heavily and continued to the village chief: "Village chief, do you still remember Uncle Zhao who hanged himself during the famine?"

In Jiang Ling's heart, one hundred people are unwilling to say such things. She is a modern person who has never been hungry. Every time she thinks of Uncle Zhao who hanged herself, it still has a great psychological impact on her.

"Ah, hey, that old man is also a poor man, that's all, Mrs. Jiang, if you have anything to say, just say it!" The village head sighed deeply again and waved his hands like that because he didn't want to recall the cruel things before.

"Village chief, I wonder if it is possible to gather these old people together, build a lot of small houses in a yard, and then have a public kitchen. Someone is responsible for cooking every day, and regularly checks the status of the old people at night, just like our security guards. It’s like a team! In this way, even if something goes wrong, it can be found immediately.” Jiang Ling expressed his thoughts on the nursing home.

The village head showed a surprised expression after hearing this. He seemed to have never heard of this model, but he had a feeling that Jiang Ling's words must be correct. He stroked his chin and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what about this matter?" Tell me in detail!"

"It is to take care of these elderly people together. The room can be based on the elderly's ideas, whether they consider living with others or living alone. If you like lively elderly people, you can put two beds in one room. If you like to live alone, you can have one. There is a bed in the room."

"Then three meals a day will be prepared by a special person. One hour during the day and two hours at night will inspect the health of the elderly. If there is any problem, please notify us in time! What do you think of this proposal, village chief?" Jiang Ling said in detail thoughts in your own mind.

"That's good, but how to solve the cost?" The village head hesitated and said.

Jiang Ling glanced at the wheat field behind Mrs. Cao's house. After the autumn harvest, Mrs. Cao's land looked a little desolate. Jiang Ling thought for a while and said, "How does the village head, these lonely old people, harvest in the fields every year?"

The village head didn't expect Jiang Ling to ask this question. He paused for a moment and then replied: "It's not very good, especially in Mrs. Li's field. Mrs. Li's right eye disease is getting worse. This year's land is all helped by everyone. Plant it! Wait, Jiang, you mean..."

The village chief didn't say what happened next, but simply mouthed "sell the land".Then the village chief shook his head again and again and said to Jiang Ling: "Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid your method won't work. This land is their lifeblood. How can you sell it? It's no different from killing them."

Jiang Ling looked at the panicked expression of the village head and explained: "You have misunderstood, village head, I don't want these old people to sell the land, but to let them rent out the land, or let the villagers take care of it. It can increase the overall yield per mu, and these elderly people don’t have to worry about the harvest in the field, so the care of the elderly and the accommodation expenses of the elderly will be covered, and the village will also have additional income, isn’t it good?” Jiang Ling explained.

The village chief was shocked when he heard Jiang Ling's words. He just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but a question still entered the village chief's mind. He quickly asked, "Then...what if they agree to live in? Yes, how much is more suitable for those who take care of the elderly?"
