"It's only been a few days since this refugee was resettled, right?"

Mrs. Yan is still very concerned about the refugee issue. Firstly, it is a major issue related to the elder's political performance; secondly, on the way to Yi County from their hometown this time, they also pretended to be refugees. They know the hardships of refugees, so naturally

I hope the refugees can settle down as soon as possible.

Yan Zhigao nodded: "Isn't it? It's just because it hasn't been long since the refugees were resettled. If we ask the wealthy squires of Linyi County to donate at this time, it would be really hard to ask."<

/p>

Mrs. Yan frowned: "The county government has no other solution?"

Yan Zhigao sighed: "Linyi County is not rich, and the county government's only savings were almost used when resettling refugees last time. Now we really can't use the extra money to help refugees."

Originally, he thought that this time he could get the attention of his superiors by relying on refugee resettlement, and maybe he could be promoted as a county magistrate. But now, if the resettled refugees freeze to death and starve to death, it would be good if he is not held accountable.

, let alone promotion.

If it weren't for the great pressure, he wouldn't discuss business matters at the dinner table.

Yan Zhigao's brows knitted together when he thought that the letters for help he had written to the magistrates of several neighboring counties had not yet received a reply.

Officialdom is a vanity fair. He comes from a humble background, has no foundation, and is not wealthy. It is really difficult to get support from his superiors and colleagues.

"Dad, the refugees are so pitiful. How about we eat less in the future and give the saved food to them, so that they will not starve to death." Yan Yishuang suddenly said, with sympathy on his face.<

/p>

Yan Zhigao squeezed out a smile on his face and praised Yan Yishuang: "My son is kind-hearted, but these are not things you should worry about. Eat your food well, and don't think about eating sparingly. You know

If a child doesn't have enough to eat, he won't grow taller."

Yan Yishuang nodded weakly: "Dad, you also need to take care of your health. My daughter sees that you haven't eaten much."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao smiled happily, stretched out his hand to pick up a chopstick dish for Yan Yishuang: "Eat quickly."

Mrs. Li sat aside and watched, thought for a while and said: "Master, there is still some food at home, how about..."

Yan Zhigao shook his head and stopped Mrs. Li: "Even if our family takes out all the food reserves, we can't help a few refugees. Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. I will discuss it with the masters tomorrow and we can always find a way."

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

This eldest brother usually has heavy schoolwork, so she can't bother him too much, but after all, he is her own brother, and she is still very concerned about his affairs.

For example, she knew that her eldest brother was very popular among teachers and students in the county school because of his good knowledge.

Yan Wenxiu felt Daohua's gaze, raised his head and looked over, smiling softly: "Sister, is there something on my face?"

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

Yan Wenxiu didn't know what the rice flowers meant, so he nodded reservedly: "We are all classmates, and it is common for us to get together to discuss studies with each other."

Daohua: "Then your classmates' families are all rich, right?"

She knows that in this era, except for a few who are particularly good at school, those who can go to county school are basically from family backgrounds.

Yan Wenxiu didn't like that Daohua always talked about money, and frowned slightly: "Sister, when making friends, you should focus on knowledge and character. As a brother, you don't care whether others have money."

Daohua paused, ignoring the implication of the elder brother's words, and asked: "Brother, do you usually hold some extracurricular activities?"

Yan Wenxiu looked confused: "Extracurricular activities?"

Daohua: "For example, go out to collect wind and enjoy the snow in winter, and then come back and write some thoughts or something?"

Yan Wenxiu was silent for a moment: "The teachers at the county school will let us get together to compose poems, but we won't go out. They are usually held inside the county school."

Daohua's eyes lit up: "What's the point of holding it in the county school? Brother, look at it. The earth is now covered with snow. How beautiful and poetic. Look, do you want to suggest something to the county school?"

The master here asks you to go out to collect folklore or something? It’s best to go to the refugee resettlement place and experience the suffering of the world.”

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: "Sister, what exactly do you want to say?"

Daohua: "What I want to say is, brother, look, when my father talked about the refugees' lack of food and clothing, the three younger sisters even went on a diet and expressed their desire to help the refugees. After your classmates saw the miserable conditions of the refugees with their own eyes, they

Wouldn't there be any indication?"

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

Daohua continued: "Look, those students who study in the county school have some assets in their families. Your family will contribute a little, and my family will contribute a little. If you add up, you can help a lot of refugees."

"Besides, they are all the treasures of the family. If parents knew that their children knew how to help the weak at such a young age, they would definitely agree with them." He said, turning to look at Mrs. Yan, "Grandma, you

Say yes?"

Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile: "Yes, if my eldest grandson wants to help refugees, my old lady is willing to give 200 shi of grain to support you." This year, all the grain harvested by my hometown has been transported to Linyi County.

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the high price of food to sell some of the food, but because of her experience as a refugee and seeing the hardship of underground people's lives, she gave up the idea and now the food is still being rented.

placed in the warehouse.

The expressions of the sons and daughters-in-law changed after hearing what the old lady said.

Although 200 shi of grain is not a lot, it is still a lot.

However, except for the dozens of acres of fields in my hometown that were left by our ancestors, the rest were purchased bit by bit by Mrs. Yan over the years. Therefore, the sons also acquiesced that these fields were the private property of the old lady.

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

Daohua smiled and turned to look at the stunned Yan Wenxiu: "Brother, look, your grandmother is willing to give you 200 shi of food, so your classmates' families will definitely support them."

"Once you have food, you can go with your classmates to distribute food to the refugees. In this way, you can not only gain the gratitude of the refugees, but also experience life. It's the best of both worlds."

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

Daohua said matter-of-factly: "Of course. Brother, let me ask you, why are you studying so hard now? Isn't it just to gain fame so that you can become an official in the future? And isn't being an official meant to do things for the people? You are now

, I just feel in advance what I will do when I enter officialdom in the future.”

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

This is a good idea for the eldest daughter!

It's hard for him to open his mouth to the rich squire now, but their son is so open.

Moreover, this is also a very good opportunity to accumulate fame. He is sure that if this thing is really done, those wealthy squires will definitely be happy to donate the things.

Yan Zhigao looked at the rice flowers with a happy face.

In the past, his mother and third brother always talked about how smart his eldest daughter was. He didn't think so before, thinking that they just favored the eldest daughter. But today's words at the dinner table made him realize that the eldest daughter is really insightful.

.

Yan Wenxiu felt a little unsure: "But... can we students accomplish such a big thing?"

Daohua nodded seriously: "Brother, you have to believe in yourself. It's not the first time for anyone. Besides, doesn't there be a father behind you? If you don't understand anything, just ask your father."<
