The most intuitive reaction of a person's empathy is to respect the elderly and love the young.

Seeing that elderly and young people work or are weak will arouse human empathy.

For strong adults, even if they are down and out, they rarely inspire empathy.

The eldest sister's lonely expression and almost desperate mentality did not make Lu Ping feel too sympathetic.

Because this state is an active choice for ‘adults’, not a passive choice for children or the elderly.

But looking at the two little guys who were obviously malnourished, Lu Ping frowned, "Although it's a good deal, it can't be like this."

"What else? The whole family went to work in the city?" Wang Shifeng chuckled.

"Doesn't there be many labor positions in cities? Even if the wages are a little lower, at least the environment is more likely to be better than staying in your hometown. The small peasant economy that guards the fields in modern society is indeed not good." Lu Ping said.

"And the children should also receive better education. The two children of my eldest sister's family are not in elementary school yet." Jiang Xiaofan also frowned.

Both of them think that being parents should at least ensure the nutrition and future of their children.

"When the third brother will go to the town to attend school next year, he will go to school together. Compulsory education still needs to be completed. As for whether he can go to school later, it depends on their own luck.

Their elder sister is very committed to getting into college and still has scholarships. She doesn't spend any money at home. If they can't get into the exam, they will work as soon as possible and save some money to get married.

If I can still do it, I will work harder with my child’s father. If I can’t work, I will go home to retire. I didn’t think about running to the city. It costs money to drink water in that place, so how can I afford to live?” The elder sister made it clear.

Raising children, making money, waiting for the children to grow up, and then returning to the village to retire. This is her life plan, which is so clear that it is surprising.

Jiang Xiaofan was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Shifeng.

"Yes, life is pretty beautiful, and when the children grow up and get married, you should enjoy your happiness." Wang Shifeng laughed softly.

"I don't expect to enjoy my happiness anymore. I'll thank you if I don't cause trouble." The elder sister wiped her younger son's snot and smiled.

But Jiang Xiaofan and Lu Ping frowned.

After chatting for a while, Wang Shifeng took Lu Ping and Jiang Xiaofan to say goodbye. Without the money for breakfast, the eldest sister was very happy.

After leaving the village, Lu Ping sighed, "Now I understand, it turns out that there is a reason to be poor."

Wang Shifeng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What? I think this kind of life is wrong?"

"There is no hope, no goal, and no plan. A life that is just about living is left with natural screening of survival of the fittest, just like all places represented by this village." Jiang Xiaofan spoke silently.

"And it's strange. You said that this elder sister is hardworking, and she is unwilling to find a way to make progress. Although farming is not profitable, it is absolutely true that hard work will bring you the rewards.

But you say that this elder sister is not hardworking. She works hard every day when she gets up early and goes to bed late. The firewood basket is at least thirty or fifty kilograms. It’s hard for me to carry it, but she doesn’t have any effort. It’s so contradictory.” Lu Ping sighed again.

"It's still a matter of thought. In modern society, labor is difficult to create wealth. I didn't hear my elder sister say that planting this land may not make money, and it may even lose money. Seeds, artificial, fertilizers and other things are all capital. The calculation is correct, but the time saved should be saved to do something else to improve yourself." Jiang Xiaofan said.

Seeing the two rich second generations with such serious routines, why are poor people poor, Wang Shifeng really wanted to laugh for no reason.

"You both said it right." Wang Shifeng had a smile on his face. "But don't forget, the things you can think of are because you are not poor."

"I think it's wrong. It's always right to think about changing when you are poor." Lu Ping retorted.

"That refers to the situation where you are at the end of your life. Towards this elder sister, poverty is the norm for most people. They do not want to live a better life, but the cost of change is too high for them. If you barely live, you are already careful and careful to do your best." Wang Shifeng shook his head.

"I just checked it. For example, the situation of this elder sister's family, the per capita annual income is less than 2,000 yuan, and there are at least 30 to 50 million people." Lu Ping said.

"Don't the elder sister say that her husband works four or five thousand a month?" Jiang Xiaofan frowned.

In total, it is a family of five, with an average of about 10,000 people.

"Who knows that the working unit does not charge taxes or insurance?" Wang Shifeng chuckled and shook his head. "Is this elder sister's situation really considered poverty? It can only be said that she is struggling with food and clothing, so she will not starve to death, but there is no way out. She can't support so many people in the city."

"So you have to change your destiny through reading. I just saw that those two children are not only malnourished, but also have a little slow reaction.

I am going back and tell my sister that I will fund some school buses in the town so that these children can reduce the travel costs and go to school well. It is not enough not to go to school." Jiang Xiaofan said seriously.

"Why? Are you not going to donate?" Wang Shifeng chuckled.

"This is not something that can be solved by donating money. It's not a problem to help the poor." Jiang Xiaofan said.

Since he was educated by Wang Shifeng in the hospital last time, he realized that donating money alone cannot solve the fundamental problem, even if he is very rich.

"Brother Feng, you took us out early this morning, and it must be not just about collecting folk songs." Lu Ping suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"What do you mean?" Wang Shifeng looked at him with a smile.

"Uh, I can't say it's just intuition." Lu Ping touched his temples.

"The intuition is quite accurate. What can you think of when you see the wastelands in these places and those left-behind people?" Wang Shifeng asked.

"Labor and land resources." Lu Ping replied.

"Aren't you going to develop a tourism industry chain?" Jiang Xiaofan flashed with a flash of inspiration.

"You used to think it was a pity for the wasteland. Now, if you have a deep understanding of the reason, it is not clear now? The cost of farming is high, so it is better to go out to work, so you would rather leave the wasteland, but in fact, the cost of going out to work is not low.

Although it is said to be four or five thousand a month, even if you save money and spend all kinds of expenses, you can only cost up to 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year, and there are many professions.

For example, if you can work physically for up to eight months a year, then if you are at your doorstep, you will have a stable job of earning two or three thousand a month, and maybe the land will not be deserted.

And it’s not just the land, but also the home.”

Wang Shifeng squatted by the ridge of the fields and looked at the weeds on the ground

"The young labor force is all out of the way, leaving behind all the elderly, weak, women and children. They live in their hometown at the minimum living standard. They dare not eat enough, eat well, get sick, and don't dare to consider a way out. Adults who grow up healthy without hunger every day are the real situation of this group.

It is broadly called left-behind children and the elderly. It is said that young laborers work hard in the city for a better future and sacrifice their families for a better future. Because of the relationship between education and cognition, they can only do some basic and not cumbersome physical labor.

You have also seen that the old lady’s appearance and age gap just now is very different. This is the physical overdrawing caused by excessive physical labor. Doing this kind of work for a long time, not to mention the way out. If your body is not broken, it is considered health preservation, let alone crossing the class and seeking breakthroughs?" Wang Shifeng narrowed his eyes while blowing the refreshing morning breeze.

"But to be honest, I think it's still a matter of thoughts." Lu Ping said.

"What thought?" Wang Shifeng turned his head and smiled.

"Training physical strength for rewards is the basic rule of social operation, but not the only rule. Even the primary laborer can slowly be promoted if he is willing to change his mindset, but most people are accustomed to working passively.

I am unwilling to take the initiative to think, so I will make my future bleak and always struggle on the line of food and clothing? I still think that if I am poor, I think I will change. Since I want to make money to improve my family, I should put in more effort.

Just like a commodity, you must have core competitiveness to survive in the market." Lu Ping said seriously.

"What you said makes sense, but it's just the truth." Wang Shifeng smiled and said, "How did you feel when you carried firewood for your elder sister just now?"

"Uh, it's so heavy, but I think it may be because we lack labor or are not used to this state of work, and it's not because we are physically weak." Jiang Xiaofan defended in a deep voice and touched his waist, which was still a little sore.

"That little labor is only one-tenth of normal physical labor." Wang Shifeng pointed to the wasteland and said, "Do you know how long it takes for an adult to work from sowing to harvest this acre of land without relying on machinery?"

Lu Ping and Jiang Xiaofan shook their heads.

How can we know about such things? We don’t farm.

"If you have one acre of land, one or two days?" Lu Ping made a bold guess.

"One or two days? It's good to be able to sow seeds by relying on manpower and animal power alone. On weekdays, watering, fertilizing, worming, harvesting, turning over the ground, etc., at least five days acre of land is available. I mean the type of work 8 hours, forty-hour cycles,

The 40-hour working cycle per mu is calculated based on the maturity period of corn. It takes about 120 days to use it as a livestock, which is only 20 acres of land. However, the harvest of one acre of land is only 200 to 300 yuan, taking corn as an example, as only 200 to 300 yuan.

If you count the harvest of 30 acres of land, it will cost up to 9,000 yuan. Two of them a year, but less than 20,000 yuan. You put yourself in your shoes and think about it. Under such high-pressure labor, what time can you think about tomorrow better?

Don’t tell me that you are thinking while farming, that is farting. While you are exhausted, your brain will not turn around.” Wang Shifeng chuckled.

I don’t know that the profit of farming is so low. A farmer is busy all year round and only earns less than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per year, with an average monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan. No wonder they all went out to work. Although they earned similar money, they should not be as tiring as farming.

"The yield on human-powered animal cultivation is definitely low, so the industrial revolution liberates labor. For example, the mechanized operation of concentrated large farms, it is easy to plant a thousand acres of land by one person." Lu Ping retorted.

"Did large agricultural machinery fall from the sky?" Wang Shifeng asked back.

"To make money, you must have an investment." Lu Ping said.

"Investing, there will definitely be risks." Wang Shifeng chuckled and said, "What do you think a family with an income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year can use to offset the risk of agricultural machinery that can often cost tens of millions of yuan? Do you use your life?"

"Uh..." Lu Ping's tone stuttered and his face was awkward. "Can the local village committee raise funds, and risk sharing."

"If it were so easy, I would have been lifted out of poverty and became rich long ago. The theory is correct but it is also naive. The actual situation is very complicated, especially on the land issue." Wang Shifeng did not explain too much

"Don't discuss these, just discuss what the way out of this group is, is it because they are incorrect or other reasons."

Lu Ping pursed his lips, "I think there is still a cognitive problem."

"Looking in the shoes of others, if you are in such an environment, can you achieve self-progress and class leap?" Wang Shifeng asked with a smile.

"Class crossing is a bit too exaggerated, but it should be no big problem to improve your life." Lu Ping said confidently.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and pulled Lu Ping, signaling him not to speak too much.

"Aping is so confident, why don't we play a game?" Wang Shifeng said with a smile.

"Ah? What game?" Lu Ping was stunned.

"Last time, didn't you say that there was no suitable graduation project? I think this game is good. You are a member of the poverty line and use your own ideas to improve your family conditions within half a year.

For example, you can switch to the old lady’s house and see if you can help them within half a year, and use only farming or other small peasant economic methods to achieve improvement. This should be a good topic." Wang Shifeng explained.

??

What's the meaning?

I've become the eldest sister and her husband?

Lu Ping couldn't react a little.

"If you are interested, you can plan a variety show by the way. No matter what the result is, it will definitely help these regions improve their GDP and popularity. In the process, some of the industries of [Xinfu] can be transferred to the same day.
