------------------

Since that's the case, let's just make the best of it. We've already arrived at Shisanli Town. There's no point worrying about those things now. We might as well find a place to fill our stomachs first.

I walked with He Wenbao into Shisanli Town. This town is not very big, with only one straight street, which is about one mile long. You can even see from one end to the other if you try hard. The area is really small.

Lamenting the poverty of this place, it can be seen from the appearance of this town. Fortunately, although the town is not big, it has everything. The two-story building is the town government, the one with a large courtyard should be the school, and there is a few bicycles parked in front of the door near them, which should be a restaurant. Looking at the small restaurant with a single-faced door and a sign of Yimin Snacks, Feng Sizhe smiled and said, "Okay, Director He, I think we should have lunch here today."

"Okay." He Wenbao wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had walked more than ten miles. After all, he was almost forty years old, and his body was really exhausted. Because he had been walking all the time, his neck was growling with hunger. Now he finally saw a restaurant. He didn't care about the grade. The first thing he needed to do was to fill his stomach. Besides, even the leader didn't mind. What else could he say?

"Okay, this is it." Feng Sizhe still maintained a very good spirit. After long-term physical exercise, walking more than ten miles was not difficult at all. He strode into the hotel.

The restaurant was not very big, with only about five or six tables. Perhaps it was past mealtime, or perhaps the people here didn't have the spare money to eat at a restaurant. In any case, there were only two tables occupied, one with two people, and the other with three people. There were only five people dining in the restaurant in total. After taking a quick look at the restaurant's environment, Feng Sizhe found a table by the window and sat down.

Suddenly, another guest came to the restaurant, and it seemed that he had some money. The owner of the restaurant immediately came over enthusiastically. "Hey, you two guests are not locals, are you visiting relatives?"

"Visiting relatives, visiting relatives." He Wenbao quickly followed up. If Feng Sizhe had opened his mouth, people would have immediately heard that his accent was wrong, so he quickly continued in dialect.

"Oh, haha." The restaurant owner agreed and quickly handed over the menu. In his opinion, it didn't matter what other people came for, what mattered was that they came here to eat and pay.

He Wenbao took the menu and gestured to Feng Sizhe. Seeing that his leader shook his head, he casually ordered two side dishes, mainly those that were cooked quickly. To be honest, He Wenbao was so hungry that he could hardly stand it. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was in a very bad condition.

After taking note, the restaurant owner turned and walked towards the kitchen. There was really no other way as the restaurant was too small and he was the only one who cooked, served the dishes and collected the money.

The boss was busy, so He Wenbao acted as a waiter, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Feng Sizhe, then poured himself a cup and drank it. He was really thirsty after walking all the way, and drinking this cup of hot tea really made his body feel very comfortable.

Feng Sizhe also took a sip of hot tea, and then whispered to He Wenbao about the Shisanli Town. Shisanli Town was too small and extremely poor. It looked like there was not even a single building in the town except for the town government. If the town was like this, what would the villages below be like?

The Central Plains is like this, lacking in mountains and rivers, inconvenient transportation, and not having a good geographical location. The economy is slow, so it is poorer. It is not like some cities in Haikou, where the national policy is tilted because of the geographical advantage, so naturally it is much richer. However, when it comes to the root, it is still the poor awareness of the people. The people here generally do not receive a high level of education, and they are more traditional in their bones. It is better in counties and towns, especially in the rural areas below. There are two biggest problems there. One is that the population is too large. Because the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is too serious, many families have many children. In order to have a boy, or even more boys, parents try their best to have more. Once the population is large, the land is obviously not enough. This is the second problem. But it is really difficult for farmers to change their minds. The more they have children, the poorer they are. The poorer they are, the more they have children. The vicious cycle continues, which leads to the people's life becoming more and more miserable under the general environment.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. It's all because of having children. You don't know that people here are very traditional. They always think that having sons can protect them from old age. But they don't know that because there are too many children, the land that was originally enough has become insufficient. Then because of poverty, the children can't go to school, and the education is not good. If this cycle continues, how can there be no poverty and reason?" He Wenbao sighed, seeming helpless. It's true that the most difficult work in the countryside is family planning. Even if the punishment for having children is poverty, the people will continue to have children. This is the stupidity of the people.

He Wenbao pointed out the fundamental reason that hindered the development of Dahu County in one sentence, and Feng Sizhe nodded. "Director He, what you said is good, but have you ever thought about how to solve this problem?"
