The system did not urge him, and gave Ran Jiang twenty-four hours to consider, and then disappeared.

It is estimated that it will not appear again until the twenty-four hours are coming, waiting for Ran Jiang's reply.

Let’s use this time to study the situation first.

Ran Jiang returned to the room and, as Lao Tiantou said just now, he found the past information files of Dushan Village from the desk drawer.

Dushan Village has a population of 88 households and 254 people, with a total area of ​​58 square kilometers. Most of them are mountains, with a cultivated land area of ​​only 392 mu, with an average of more than four mu per household and one or five mu per person.

It might be better if it were on the flat ground near the river, and one and a half acres of land per person would be enough to support people.

But it is far from enough on the mountain. Huangping Town mainly planted corn. A mu of plain land at the river at the foot of the mountain can produce eight or nine hundred kilograms of corn, but it will be reduced to five or six hundred kilograms when it reaches the hilly area.

When it comes to villages on the top of the mountain like Dushan Village, due to the barren land, the yield per acre is only three or four hundred kilograms, which is half less than on flat ground.

If you plant some potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables, on average, each person can harvest three or four hundred kilograms of corn throughout the year, and add a bunch of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

It’s not a bit too much for people to starve to death, but the people’s lives are not just corn, potatoes.

You have to spend money to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, lamp, oil and cloth.

If the family has children to go to school, they have to pay tuition and buy stationery. These can only be deducted from the little money they get from selling food.

If you encounter major events such as weddings and funerals again.

No matter how much you save, the money you spend can emptiate all the savings of the family for several years, and you still have to owe a lot of debts.

Looking at other data, the per capita income of farmers in Wendong County last year was 446.42 yuan, while that of Huangping Town was only 376.83 yuan.

Dushan Village is even more pitiful. The per capita income in the village is only 219.75 yuan, which is less than half of the average income in the county.

Alas, I still think that my salary of 85 yuan a month is too low, but I didn’t expect that it would be able to match the entire income of a family of five in a year!

Ran Jiang sighed at it, this village is really poor.

"Captain Ran, Village Chief Ran, why are you asleep?" While thinking, Lao Tiantou's voice came from outside.

"I haven't sleeped!" Ran Jiang went out and saw Lao Tiantou walking over with his pocket.

He welcomed him into the house, "Did Uncle Tian eat it? I'll make some for you if you didn't eat it?"

"Eat it!" Lao Tiantou nodded repeatedly.

There are also some considerations for visitors to visit in such places, and they usually do not come at meal time.

No one family has enough food, so guests have to be well served.

If a few customers come to your house more than a month, someone at home will probably go hungry.

"Captain Ran, this is a little fungus, mushrooms, and a few eggs I made on the mountain. You, a college student, came to such a poor place in our place, and it would be aggrieved to eat sauerkraut! Get some food for you."

Before Ran Jiang could pour water for him, Lao Tiantou started to dig out things.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Tian, ​​this is impossible." After reading the information from Dushan Village just now, Ran Jiang couldn't bear to accept his things!

"If you have to, you have to, you have to. I've long been hoping that the town can send a capable village chief to bring us a good life."

"I originally thought it was amazing to send a technical secondary school student over here, but I didn't expect that I would send a college student down. College students are all talented people. Our Dushan Village finally has hope!"

Lao Tiantou easily pressed Ran Jiang with one hand.

The physical strength he exercised every day was not comparable to that of a weak scholar who had been studying. Then he took out all the things in his pocket and put them on the table without saying a word.

"Uncle Tian, ​​look at you...hey!" It's no longer appropriate to continue to entangle now.

Ran Jiang thought, let’s talk to him first, listen to the situation at his home, and then take the time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the foot of the mountain to buy something and send it to him!

"Uncle Tian, ​​sit down first, I'll pour you water!" He went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Lao Tiantou, and then asked about the situation at his home.

Lao Tiantou took out a tobacco bag and gave it to Ran Jiang. Ran Jiang shook his hand and refused to signal that he would not smoke.

Lao Tiantou pinched a pinch of tobacco from the tobacco bag and pressed it into the tobacco pipe pot. He lit it on the oil lamp, and talked about his own affairs while smoking.

His family has five people, a couple, plus an old mother and two sons.

My mother is over 80 years old and has no money to take medicine when she is ill all day long. She can only ask the barefoot doctor in the village to help her prescribe some folk remedies, and then he goes up the mountain to pick herbs and boil medicine.

The two sons, who were thirty-two years old, got married five years ago, had already separated and had a child, and were already three years old.

The young man, Twenty-seven, was still not married because he couldn't afford the bride price and lived with them.

"Hey, the debt my eldest brother owed to get married was paid off two years ago. This is because I was a village chief a few years ago and I don't know when I will save enough money for my second brother to marry a wife!" Lao Tiantou sighed.

Twenty-seven years old is definitely an older young man in the countryside. There are really not many people who are not married yet.

If this continues, I will probably have to find a widow who has been divorced or her husband has passed away.

"I'm pretty good. There are still many people in the village who are over thirty years old and are not married yet, because they can't make up enough money! Alas, can you do it even if you get enough?" Another sigh.

"There is a saying in Huangping Town, 'Starlight, moonlight, don't marry Dushan Lang if you have a daughter?' Is it because our Dushan village is poor, so no one can bear to marry his daughter and suffer!"

"'Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest two baskets in autumn. There will be a waste of three to two years.' The poverty in our Dushan Village has been made into a rumor."

"A nearby matchmaker, when he heard that the young man from Dushan Village was looking for his wife, he was too lazy to even talk about it. Anyway, it would be a waste of effort."

"......There is no other business in the village, and we can't do it. We can only farm. We can't farm. We have worked hard all year round, but in the end we can't starve to death..."

Ran Jiang listened carefully, but when Lao Tiantou looked over, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to touch his expected gaze.

We chatted until eight o'clock in the evening before Lao Tiantou left.

Before leaving, he held Ran Jiang's hand and told, "Captain Ran, we are counting on you in Dushan Village. Don't leave!"

The next day, Ran Jiang went to the village for another walk.

It was found that the situation was even worse than what Lao Tiantou said. The house was leaking everywhere and the family only had a pair of pants. It was not a legend that whoever went out would wear it here.

Ran Jiang also came from a poor mountain village, and the situation in Dushan Village evoked his memories.

Coupled with his yearning for going home, Ran Jiang chose to accept the system's arrangement before the deadline came.
Chapter completed!
