Chapter 783 Rural Investigation
After a while,
The vehicle stopped halfway up the mountain. There was a rugged mountain road further up, and there was no way for the vehicle to go up.
At the edge of the mountain road, there were a dozen or so older villagers waiting there. There were also a few donkeys tied to the tree trunks beside them, as well as several small wooden carts and several small carts.
The vehicle just stopped,
An old man came quickly to greet him. As soon as he approached, he bent down and saluted.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xingguo helped him up skillfully. He had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and had even encountered people kneeling down for him.
"Village Chief Li, it doesn't have to be like this. We are just doing our best to help you."
"And we have brought a filming team here today, and we may film you. We may also broadcast it on TV in the future. We want to win your consent."
"Do you want to be on TV? That's a great relationship. We have lived so many years and we haven't been on TV yet."
Village Chief Li said nonchalantly upon hearing this.
Hearing this, Yang Xingguo wanted to explain the specific shooting and future plans.
But after thinking about it, I forgot about it. With the things these old people are exposed to, even if he explains it, he may not be able to understand it.
Since he thinks it's time to go on TV, he should go on TV.
"Village Chief Li, the supplies are in the two cars at the back. They are all rice, flour, grain and oil. According to the data given to me, each household has two copies. If this car is not going, let the villagers come and transport it to the mountain. "
Yang Xingguo said, taking the lead towards a small truck behind him.
The truck fell down and all the supplies inside were exposed.
There are rice, white noodles, soybean oil and dried noodles.
These are the most practical supplies. Rice and flour are all 50KG.
Village Chief Li looked at the supplies in the truck, his lips trembled a little, and he turned to look at Yang Xingguo.
"These...are these for us?"
"That's right, let the villagers come over and carry it quickly. I just took a look and it seems that these villagers may not be able to transport it all in one trip. It will take several more trips."
Yang Xingguo looked at the dozen or so villagers waiting in the distance and the old transportation tools.
When Village Chief Li heard Yang Xingguo's words, he bent down to thank him again. It was obvious from his posture that he wanted to kneel down.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xingguo hurriedly stopped the other party before he knelt down.
"Mr. Yang, these supplies are really life-saving. These two bags of rice and white flour are enough to feed our family here for more than a year."
Village Chief Li said emotionally.
Yang Xingguo sighed helplessly when he heard Village Chief Li's words.
Villages like this are basically filled with elderly people over 50 years old and children under 10 years old.
Those young people basically went out to work.
Those who have a better life and are filial will send some money to their families regularly every month to ensure that the elderly at home have living expenses and will not go hungry.
Some have no conscience, that is, they leave the village without any news, and they don’t know whether they are dead or alive outside.
Those old people are old and don’t have much energy. Those who want to make money don’t know how to make money.
For such an old man or child, a bag of rice is enough for them to eat for a long time.
And there is no such thing as three meals a day here. Eating two meals a day is very luxurious.
Therefore, there is no exaggeration in saying that these supplies that Village Chief Li said can last for more than a year here.
"Village Chief Li, I won't say any more words of thanks. Let's transport all these supplies up first."
"Okay, okay!!!"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li hurriedly called the villagers in the distance to come over.
"You all are here to carry supplies. Please be careful. If a bag of rice is broken, your family will not need the supplies."
"And that little boy, you run back to the village and ask more people to come over and move supplies."
Village Chief Li's reputation is very high. Under his order, no one said anything, and everyone quickly stepped forward to move the supplies.
Luo Xiao has been observing from the side.
Looking at the poorly dressed villagers, it feels like I have traveled to an era decades ago.
here,
He could see no traces of modernization, and even the means of transportation were still donkeys and small wooden carts.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such villages still existed in China.
They have been abandoned by the times!
Luo Xiao and Wang Bin looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"It's surprising. I didn't expect there to be such a backward village."
Yang Xingguo walked over and looked at the villagers who were actively carrying supplies. Even though they were very tired, everyone could see a smile on their face.
"Just a few bags of rice noodles can make them smile happily, how easy it is to be satisfied!"
Luo Xiao looked at the villagers in the distance, and an indescribable emotion was blocked in his throat, which could not be cleared no matter what.
yes,
Just a few bags of rice and noodles can make them do this, and the money to buy these rice and noodles is not even enough for them to go out for a drink.
But just this money can prevent a family in this village from going hungry for a year.
"I think I understand a little bit why Mr. Chen asked us to come out to pick up poor elderly people."
Luo Xiao spoke slowly. He thought that he was not a good person, but he saw such a village.
It still caused a huge impact in his original world.
"Yeah, I suddenly felt how happy I was when I was an extra in the film and television city for a year."
Wang Bin nodded.
After graduating from college, he went to Kyoto's Film and Television City to work as an extra, hoping to take this opportunity to become an actor.
But contrary to expectations, he worked as an extra in the film and television city for a year and did not play any important role at all.
Either a dead body or little Luo Luo who was sent to death.
Sometimes, even extras can't get jobs.
It's a very good situation to be able to earn dozens of dollars a day. At least he can save a little, which is enough for him to eat for two days.
He once thought that his time as an extra in the film and television city was the most difficult and difficult time in his life.
But now that he saw the villagers in front of him, he suddenly didn't think so anymore.
"Seeing this, the difficulties we encountered before are nothing."
Yang Xingguo sighed.
After spending so long outside inspecting poor people, he realized more and more that his previous life was quite happy.
At least the whole family is healthy and not hungry.
"How many villages like this are there?"
Luo Xiao's throat squirmed.
"a lot of!"
Yang Xingguo spoke calmly.
"But not all poor villages are like this village. The village in front of us is very backward and poor."
"Basically, if you go to more than 20 villages, you will encounter someone like this."
