Chapter 546 Need food

What happened?

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

"We encountered someone blocking our way."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "Huh?"

"what happened?"

"We were driving, weren't we? Someone stopped the car and asked if they could give us some food. They said they hadn't eaten in two days and were very hungry." The person who came back from the front explained.

Everyone was talking a lot, some were surprised and some sighed.

Before entering the county seat of Wangtan County, I first saw what this poverty-stricken county, which is famous in the province, looks like, and that such a situation can actually occur.

Is Wangtan County so poor?

Ji Yuanhai stood up and said, "Do we have any biscuits or the like in the car? Let's help them with their urgent needs."

"The leader in front probably won't bring food in the car, so don't make things worse."

"Yes, the food has not been harvested from the fields this year." The man wiped his tears and said, "Last year the food was already used up."

The family of six were all starving, so they quickly took it and started devouring it, and then they all coughed violently - they ate too fast, and the biscuit crumbs got stuck in their throats.

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

Others one after another brought out some biscuits, candies and other snacks.

"We, a family of six, only have six plots of land. We cannot eat the food that is not growing in the land. If we destroy the seedlings now, we will starve to death in the second half of this year."

After saying this, he thanked me again and again.

Ji Yuanhai nodded and looked at the others.

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

Ji Yuanhai went back to get a cup and poured water over. The family quickly drank the water and started eating biscuits again.

Luo Zhilin asked: "Fellow fellow, your family is from Wangtan County, right? Why are you so hungry? Is there no food at home?"

It was a couple leading four children. Their expressions were frightened, awkward, and a bit numb. They looked at Luo Zhilin and the others with their mouths slightly open.

If he had no other choice, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Ji Yuanhaikou said: "We are not traveling. You and Director Zhang probably didn't bring these with you. 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.

Seeing Ji Yuanhai coming with cookies and candies, Luo Zhilin suddenly became happy: "Xiao Ji, you came just in time, these fellow villagers are starving!"

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

"Thank you, thank you!"

When he said this, Fang Lijuan took out half a bag of calcium milk biscuits from her small bag and handed it to him.

As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped away his tears. With a little food in his stomach, he began to feel ashamed and embarrassed for blocking the road to beg for food.

Luo Zhilin asked: "Fellow, are there many situations like yours in Wangtan County?"

The man looked at everyone and whispered: "Not many."

Now that he had something to eat in his stomach, he finally had the energy to take stock of everyone's appearance and speech and behavior. At this time, he heard Luo Zhilin ask this and didn't say much else.

<divclass="contentadv">Luo Zhilin glanced at the man and nodded: "That's not bad."

Turning to Zhang Bo and Ji Yuanhai, he said: "The situation here in Wangtan County is quite serious. Under such circumstances, it is particularly important to supervise the development of agricultural production so that local people can eat."

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

Then he said to the couple: "Fellows, take care of yourself. We have important things to do, so we don't want to waste time."

The couple quickly took the child two steps back and thanked him profusely.

While thanking him, he wiped away his tears and knelt down to kowtow.

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

At this time, Ji Yuanhai saw a little red coming out of the mouth of one of their seven or eight-year-old children, and he was a little surprised and went over to take a look.

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

The child was very obedient, opened his mouth to show him, and explained: "I was eating delicious food just now. I ate too fast and bit my tongue."

His father felt embarrassed and slapped him on the back.

Ji Yuanhai looked at the skinny child with blood in his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart. After their family has eaten this meal, when can they have the next meal?

This child must have had a very hard time.

Luo Zhilin and Zhang Bo had already walked to the car after greeting the family.

Ji Yuanhai did not leave in a hurry, but said: "It is not an option for your family to be like this now. The time until summer harvest is not short. How will you survive next?"

"Go north for half a day and go to Lingshi County next door to get some food. At least the family can survive." The man said, "Our family is also very hungry. We were hungry for a whole day in the village and couldn't borrow any food. We can't go to my father-in-law's house." I didn’t borrow any food, so I started walking out.”

"Are there many people coming out to beg for food in the village?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"There are six or seven out of ten families, and the rest don't have enough to eat." The man said, and looked at Ji Yuanhai again, "I see that you are not ordinary people, and I shouldn't have told you."

"Is it bad that I said this? Otherwise, would you just pretend that I didn't say it?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "How can I pretend that I haven't said this before? You have nothing to worry about if you say anything."

"I see that your son has bitten his tongue. If he goes to beg for food next time, if he eats something unclean, it might become serious."

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

But then he made an okay expression in front of Ji Yuanhai: "It's okay, this kid has a hard life, this is not a big deal."

"As long as farmers have food and drink, they won't be afraid if the sky falls, let alone such a trivial matter."

Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he heard that he called himself a "farmer".

Wangtan County is really too barren, with so little arable land that it is difficult to survive just by growing crops.

Furthermore, this couple does have a lot of children, but life would be much easier if they only had one or two children...

Ji Yuanhai was about to ask more about the situation in Wangtan County. When he saw that the car was already moving and someone asked him to get in, he said, "If you need help, you can go to the guest house in Wangtan County." I."

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

After speaking, Ji Yuanhai also said goodbye to the family and turned to get in the car.
