Chapter 99 The real situation of the people
After a while, Cao Yalong came back with his father. When he entered the cave, he didn't know what Baosheng was looking for.
"Uncle Cao, it's a cold winter this year, and many people don't have enough firewood and coal at home. I went to Shenmu to buy some coal from my friends, hoping to sell it at a low price to the villagers who are really in need. Uncle Cao, who are the most needy families in your village?
Please count how much coal there is, and I will send the coal over in a few days," Baosheng said.
"Have you bought coal? How much is one ton?" Cao Dexing asked when he heard that Baosheng had coal.
"I mainly use this coal to help everyone survive the winter. I don't want to make money, so I charge 50 yuan per ton. What does Uncle Cao think?" Baosheng asked.
"50 yuan? So cheap? Where do you find the connections? Every household in our village needs coal, how much can you send?" Cao Dexing asked.
"Uncle Cao, I'm here today to show you how many households in your village are unable to heat their homes. Count them and tell me how much coal they need. I'll deliver the coal in a few days," Baosheng explained.
"That's great. Baosheng, you have the ability to buy such cheap coal. Our village requires 50 tons, more is fine. If we don't use it, we can sell it to others. Now the county has a ton of coal.
150 yuan." Cao Dexing said.
"Dad, why are you like this? If you want to make money, you can't give birth to a baby yourself? And you still want to give it to you?" Gao Wenhui said dissatisfied.
"What's going on? We are relatives, so why don't we take advantage of it now?" Cao Dexing said.
"Uncle Cao, I don't have much coal. At this time, many people's homes can hardly even start a fire. Someone may die in a few days. If I sold it quickly in the county to make money, how could I come here?"
In your village.
There are less than 30 households in your village, and one ton of coal per household is almost enough. So... I'd better go to each household in person and ask." Baosheng said and pulled Shen Ruobing to leave. He didn't expect that Cao Dexing would
This is the kind of person.
Cao Dexing was also very angry when he saw Baosheng talking like this. After all, he was an elder. But when he saw the car at Gao Baosheng's door and Shen Ruobing who came with him, he knew that Gao Baosheng was not a simple person and he was angry.
Maybe he really couldn't afford it, so he followed him out with his son and daughter-in-law.
Baosheng walked out of the courtyard of the third sister's house and walked to the west end of Caogouquan Village. He started knocking on the door at the first house. After waiting for a long time, he saw a man whose clothes were full of pudding opened the door for them. There was nothing in his clothes.
Wear cotton clothes.
"Who are you looking for?" The man shivered coldly and looked at Baosheng and Shen Ruobing. His eyes stayed on Shen Ruobing's face for a while. They had never seen such a beautiful girl.
"I am Gao Baosheng from Gaojiawan Village. I came to your village to see whose houses don't have firewood for heating. If anyone needs coal, I can sell it to you at a cheap price," Baosheng said.
"Gao Baosheng? You...come in and sit down! Coal is too expensive now, and our family only has firewood, which will definitely not be used for the New Year. Now our family does not dare to burn the kang too hot during the day, and the whole family is together
In the house." The man said and took Baosheng to the door of their house. Their house had three bungalows, and the middle room with the curtain was occupied.
"I'm here just to help you. I'm from this village. I only charge the cost price for coal. Do you want 50 yuan per ton?" Baosheng saw the man push open the door and followed him in. The situation in the room made him a little worried.
Embarrassed, Shen Ruobing turned around and walked out as soon as she walked in.
I saw six people sitting on the fire bed in this room. They were all wearing thin clothes. When the door was opened, the cold wind came in, and they quickly pulled the quilts into their arms.
The man's wife was about to get off the kang to entertain the guests, but Baosheng saw that she was wearing thin trousers. Looking at the two children on the bed, they were both lying in single clothes under the tattered quilts and were too cold to come out.
"Your family is in such a difficult situation, so don't wear enough clothes to come in. Ruobing, you guys, wait for me outside the house." Baosheng said to Shen Ruobing when he saw his third sister and third brother-in-law following him.
"My family is so poor that we have no choice. We only have two pairs of cotton trousers. One is worn by the children to school, and the remaining one is worn by everyone when they go out.
A ton of coal costs 50 yuan. Where can I buy it? My family can buy 400 kilograms. Ten yuan should be enough." The man thought for a moment and said.
Baosheng didn't know how to answer when he saw this. If he didn't have the space in Deyi Garden and the memory of future generations, maybe their family would be a little better than this one this year.
But now that he has the ability, he must help them.
"If your family doesn't have money, you can owe it to me first and wait until the autumn harvest next year to pay it to me," Baosheng said.
The man didn't say anything after hearing this, and his family members on the kang looked at him with hopeful faces. Rural people are so proud of themselves that if their families are so poor, they usually don't let people know about it. Baosheng is willing to sell cheap coal to them on credit, so what right do they have to refuse?
"I never thought there would be such a good person like you, Baosheng. Our family needs half a ton of coal. I will find a job next year and pay you back when I earn money. Do you want me to go to your house to pull this coal?" the man asked.
"I will deliver it to you tomorrow. I really want to help everyone survive the winter. I took the coal from me, but I can't sell it to others at a high price. If I know who sold the coal bought from me at a high price, I will sell the coal to you."
Take it back and don't let anyone use it." Baosheng said to the man in a loud voice that everyone in the yard could hear.
"This coal of yours is a life-saving coal. Our whole family relies on it to survive the winter. How could we possibly resell it? I, Cao Bin, am not the kind of person who is so cruel and cruel!" the man said to Baosheng.
Baosheng took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket. After a few moments, he walked out of the house and saw Cao Dexing waiting for him at the door with his head down.
After completing all 28 households in Caogou Circle, it was already noon, and Baosheng returned to his third sister's house with a heavy heart.
Half of the households in Caogouquan Village did not prepare coal, and the other four households did not even have enough cotton-padded clothes. When he entered one house, he found that this family did not even have enough cotton-padded clothes. They had to wear thin patched trousers when going out. These babies had never thought of it before.
OK.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! People don’t have coal at home, so they are very grateful to know that Baosheng can send cheap coal. 28 households, except the third sister and the third brother-in-law’s father’s house, need 16
Half a ton of coal, which required him to haul it three times by truck.
Send another 2 tons of coal to the third sister's family, which is enough for the third sister's family until the end of this winter. Baosheng will not give more. Instead of letting them sell it to others at a high price, it is better to give them more money.
Cao Dexing was obviously not happy when he left Caogouquan Village, but Baosheng had already given Cao Yalong 2 tons of coal, which was enough for the whole family. He originally wanted Baosheng to give the coal to him to sell, but Baosheng had already discussed it with every household in the village.
, this left him, the head of Caogouquan Village, and made him lose face.
In this way, Gao Baosheng and Shen Ruobing stayed until after six o'clock in the afternoon. They visited four villages in total and learned about the situation in each village.
The situation in each village is similar. The further south you go, the situation in farmers' homes is slightly better. There are 66 households in the 4 villages, which require about 41 tons of coal, with an average of only half a ton per household. Although Baosheng was very tired when he returned home, he was heartbroken.
Still very solid.
"If you don't go into people's homes, you will never know what kind of life they live. I found that you are very bad, and you insist on taking me to see these things!" Shen Ruobing complained to Baosheng when he returned home.
"Are you going tomorrow? Tomorrow we will go to the villages in the central and southern parts of Mengjiawan Township. The situation should be better than in the north," Baosheng said.
"Go, why don't you go? If you want me to be a good person, how can I let you down? To be honest, don't you feel that you have a lot of face if you bring a beautiful woman with you?" Shen Ruobing said with a smile.
"No, let's check all the villages in Mengjiawan tomorrow, and I will deliver coal to everyone the day after tomorrow. You went to the school and saw that there are no children in particularly difficult families. Next time I go to the city to buy some cotton-padded clothes and shoes.
, you can think of a reason to send it to the children." Baosheng said.
"I see that Teacher Fan and Teacher Lu don't have cotton clothes either. You can buy them one too! This way, they may be more likely to stay in the spring next year," Baosheng said.
"Yes, I will ask my dad to deliver it when the time comes. It is the village's condolences to the teacher. But I have to be faster. In a few days, my dad will go to the city to participate in the city's desert prevention and afforestation commendation meeting. This is
I don’t know how long it will take to come back.
Otherwise, let your fourth uncle go to the city to buy cotton-padded clothes tomorrow. Please calculate how much the children will buy. This time we do these things to send warmth to the children's teachers, which will also have an impact on my dad's commendation selection." Baosheng.
I attach great importance to this selection.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on new books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
The commendation prizes this time may be insignificant, but Baosheng knows that the impact is very big. A few farmers can be recognized and receive awards from the city. This will last a lifetime in the entire township, and this is after Baosheng sends warmth.
"Well! Just buy a little bigger cotton-padded clothes for the children. They can be worn for a longer time. It's better to buy them for the two teachers. Anyway, you have money now." Shen Ruobing said deliberately sourly.
"I'll tell my fourth uncle later. I spend the money where I need it, and I don't waste it. Do you mean you want to take care of my account? The two of us can discuss it tonight.
Baosheng said with a smile.
"I don't know how to bully others!" Shen Ruobing smiled shyly and went back to her house.
During dinner in the evening, Baosheng told his fourth uncle about buying cotton-padded clothes, but Liu Fenglan was unwilling to do so.
"The cotton-padded clothes I bought didn't have much cotton, and they were very expensive. You can buy a few cotton-padded clothes, trousers and cotton shoes for a thousand yuan, so it's better to buy cotton and cloth and eventually make a set of cotton clothes for all the teachers and children in the school."
Liu Fenglan said.
"Then we can't just buy cloth and cotton and make it ourselves!" Gao Baosheng said.
"How about giving cotton to students? Take it home and let their parents make it themselves!" Gao Guoliang suddenly said.
Shen Ruobing turned his eyes and looked at Baosheng. Baosheng thought for a while and felt that this was not completely impossible.
"We can hold a midterm exam in a few days. I have made the questions simpler. We will give cotton and cloth rewards to students with good grades. Those who improve quickly will also be given prizes. Excellent class cadres will also be given prizes. In this way, seven, seven or eight will be given.
It’s almost the same. In the end, I will randomly set up a few prizes for students who have difficulties at home and haven’t received any. What do you think of this, Baosheng?” Shen Ruobing asked.
"I think that if we want to improve the strength of our school, the performance of our children is also very important. They are also the hope of our village's future.
We can do more rewards like this in the future. Parents will definitely know your intentions, so they can also urge their children to study hard. Tomorrow, second uncle, you will go to the county to sell 100 kilograms of cotton, one kilogram into a bag. Other things to say
30 feet of coarse cloth. When you get back, wait for the cotton to grow and then pull it according to the cotton received by each child. Otherwise, it will be wasted if it is not enough.
Uncle Fourth, you can buy the cotton-padded clothes from the two teachers. Just go to a clothing store and buy the ones with better quality. I’ll give you a thousand yuan, and you can refund the extra or make up for the extra when you come back!" Guan Guo thought for a moment and said.
"I have money. I'll wait until I buy the things. I want to buy clothes and cotton cloth. I'll call Chunyan tomorrow!" Gao Guoming said.
"Okay, let's go buy some winter clothes for my fourth aunt and your father-in-law. It's their business if they don't have any shortage at home. Whether you buy them or not is up to you," Gao Baosheng said.
After sending Shen Ruobing back to his room, Baosheng had just opened the door and returned to his room when he heard his father coughing downstairs. After waiting for a while, his father went upstairs to the gym, and Baosheng followed.
Entering the gym, there were no lights here at night. Baosheng saw his father working out there in the dark. Today he found that his father's back, which used to be a bit hunched, had straightened up, and he had also become taller. He looked very different from before.
.
"Dad, how are you feeling today?" Baosheng came over and asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have grown a little taller, and my whole body is much stronger than before. Your fruit is really amazing. It has only been two days, and I feel young."
I'm over ten years old." Gao Guoliang's voice was very low, and Baosheng could only hear it if he was close.
"The first three days are the most effective, and after seven days they have almost no effect. When my fourth uncle comes back from buying cotton-padded clothes for Teacher Fan and Teacher Lu, you will send them to them in the name of our school, and then talk about the expansion of the school in our village next year.
If you want to do something about it, keep them all." Baosheng said.
"Son, you are getting better and better at doing things now. You are much more mature than before. You know how to pave the way for yourself in the future. After selling coal this time, your influence in the countryside will definitely be greater.
The township asked me to go to the city on December 6, and there are still 8 days left. Dad wants to know what your plans are for the future. If you want to join the system, Yang Xiaowei is the head of our township. He has always admired you, and now you are a very good person.
Good opportunity." Gao Guoliang said.
"Dad, I didn't think too much about it. I just want our family to live a better life and everyone's life to be better. If you can, help out. I feel pretty good now!" Baosheng replied.
"Well, that's good, but I want to remind you, if you have that kind of fruit again, eat it by yourself and don't give it to anyone else. The more you give it, the more problems you will have. If there is any, you will
Eat it, or give it to others when you become stronger in the future." Gao Guoliang said.
Baosheng nodded. He still has five power fruits. After going to Suicheng City to learn boxing this time, he is thinking about how to use the remaining fruits. This thing may be used for the right person. It is not very meaningful for ordinary people to use it.
Maybe he should use these power fruits on himself, which will cause changes in his physical constitution. At this time, Tyson should still be at his peak, and he might have the opportunity to beat him up?
