It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"You need to make a table to record who did how much work and how much food they received, so that it will be convenient to check the data later. We must strictly control the food we have, because food prices cannot be reduced in a short period of time."

Natural disasters are likely to be compounded by man-made disasters. Xiao Hai nodded and said, "Master, I'll take note. I will work with Liu Zhuangtou to distribute the food."

"There is no end to the work, let's go eat first." After Feng Gu distributed the herbs, she saw Weng Xiaoxiao was still there, so she came over.

"How did this section fire?"

"In order to save food and firewood, we set up two big pots and everyone ate together."

The big pot meal is indeed necessary in special times, and it can also better bring everyone together.

"It's time for dinner and a break." Liu Yuan came over to greet everyone in a hoarse voice.

"I know." Everyone responded.

Weng Xiaoxiao and Feng Gu walked side by side, "Gu, how many houses collapsed?"

"You really worry too much. You have to take care of everything. Aren't you tired?" Aunt Feng poked Weng Xiaoxiao's forehead. "Six houses are no longer habitable. We have already arranged accommodation for those families. Don't worry."

"With you here, I'm relieved. I heard that two people were washed away. Whose family are they?"

Aunt Feng sighed imperceptibly, "It was the daughter-in-law and daughter of the Wang family. The younger daughter fell in first, and her mother tried to hold the child, but both of them were washed away. The water was too fast, and there was no time to save them. It's no one's fault."

In that situation, there really is nothing anyone can do.

Tiredness and sadness always make people silent. During the rest of the journey, no one spoke, but just held hands tightly together.

......

The arrival of Weng Xiaoxiao changed the atmosphere of the entire village.

Especially the good news that has just spread - rent is free this year.

The old people in Zhuangzi were the most moved. They had encountered many disasters in their lives, but this was the first time they had met such a kind-hearted boss.

As Weng Xiaoxiao and her nephew entered the yard, they saw a large group of people kneeling down.

The scene was truly shocking.

Ordinary people are the most simple and unpretentious. They will repay anyone who treats them well with all their heart. If they cannot repay, they can only express their gratitude in the most humble way.

Those leading the group were all the elderly people from the farm. Weng Xiaoxiao and Feng Gu stepped forward and helped them up one by one.

Weng Xiaoxiao glanced around and said, "Everyone, get up. As long as we are here, we won't have to worry about not being able to live like this."

Seeing that everyone stood up, Weng Xiaoxiao also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to everyone, to talk about the arrangements and to encourage them.

"Everyone should clean up the farm first. Living in a clean and fresh environment will prevent you from getting sick easily. After cleaning up the farm, we must hurry to clean up the farmland. Time waits for no one. We should try to plant another season of late rice and vegetables."

Seeing that everyone had something to say, Weng Xiaoxiao stretched out her arms and pressed them down, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

"We don't know when the government's relief will arrive. We can't just sit there and wait. There's not much grain left on the farm. If we don't plant, we'll run out of food by the end of the year. And..."

Weng Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly. "Besides, my family is not well-off, and it's very hard to feed so many mouths."

Everyone's heartbeats rose and fell with Weng Xiaoxiao's rhythm. Was the boss going to lay off people?! If he didn't need so many tenants, he would naturally have to quit.

"Boss, we old people will only eat one meal a day from now on, saving the money for the children..."

"Boss, please don't chase us away. There is really no way to make a living outside. We can all find work and we won't eat for free."

"We can all work, boss."

Weng Xiaoxiao has become very adept at using both kindness and force, giving sweet rewards after a beating.

A little bit of gratitude and a big bit of grudge cannot make people lazy.

"Don't panic, everyone has their own difficulties. Now is not the most difficult time yet. I will not give up on anyone. However, if you want to eat, you do need to work for it. It doesn't matter whether you work or not, whether you work well or badly. That won't work. For the elderly and children who can't work, the farm will distribute food in fixed quantities every day. You don't have to be afraid. Everyone has been a child, and everyone will get old one day."

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is not just something you can say.

"But those who can walk, move and work, regardless of gender, can only receive food if they work, and the more they work, the more they get."

Upon hearing this, the discussion started again.

"The boss has done his best to take extra care of the old and the young. He is a great kind-hearted person."

"That's right. When there was a famine, I heard that many elderly people voluntarily went on a diet, and some even starved to death because of saving food. The employer has done his best to treat the old and the young with kindness. People have to live their lives, too."

It’s good as long as no one has any objections. If everyone supports it, even if some individuals have objections, they won’t dare to speak out.

Weng Xiaoxiao explained the situation clearly and said, "Okay, let's eat."

......

Was led to a table and sat down.

"Boss, please just eat a little. I haven't cleared out so many pots and stoves, so I can't make something for you."

Thick multi-grain porridge mixed with dried vegetables, beans and the like was the best food in such a period, at least it was all grain.

"That's good. I ate only bread on the way back, and my throat was sore from dryness. As a human being, there is no sin that cannot be endured, only happiness that cannot be enjoyed."

"It's not easy for the Dong family to travel far and wide to build this family business." Liu Yuan was very emotional. He had heard from his eldest son how the Dong family worked hard in Mobei. Moreover, the Dong family had such a wide network of contacts that they could even enter the military camp.

A person’s true character is revealed in times of adversity.

The landlord gave up these hundreds of taels of rent, and he became the lifesaver of dozens of households. If the landlord was in trouble one day, no matter what others did, he would be the first to rush to help.

“Life is not easy. It is enough to be able to look up to the heavens without shame and look down upon others without embarrassment!”

Liu Yuan nodded continuously. He had lived for many years and had met many people, but how many of them could dare to say that they had done what he said? !

Weng Xiaoxiao doesn't want to establish a persona for herself, but if she can help others, she is willing to lend a hand without expecting anything in return.

The purpose of management is to rally people's hearts, but doing good is not. It is simply because one cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.

People line up to get their meals, and Aunt Liu manages everything in an orderly manner.

The family who received the food formed a small circle, squatted there and ate with relish, with long-lost smiles on their faces.

Gaoqiao walked closer only after seeing Weng Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks.

"Hello, sir. Is it convenient to talk now?"

Liu Yuan took the initiative to give up his seat and returned to his family with the bowl.

"Sit down, there's no one here."

Gao Qiao was not shy, but he just sat aside and said, "Boss, I'm afraid those pickles in stock are in big trouble."

"Oh? Didn't you say that no water got in?" Weng Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
