082.Aunt Xu’s son
After Lao Liu's words came out, everyone was slightly stunned.
They even thought he was joking.
Only He Ling was a little calmer and said: "The price level was low at that time, and..."
Old Liu shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of prices. Back then, the minimum wage in Jingzhou was 1,800 yuan per month, while the average income in the village was just over 3,000 yuan."
He went on to say: "Rural people are also human beings and they also need to live. They need to eat, wear clothes, their children need to study, and they need to be treated when they are sick... But with an annual income of only 3,000, what can they do?"
Just like the performances of other celebrities, the barrage also seemed shocked.
Even fresh graduates with a monthly salary of 3,000 RMB feel that an annual income of just over 3,000 RMB is ridiculous.
Some barrages have provided popular science:
"I grew up in a rural area. The income in our rural areas is so low. Fortunately, there are not many places to spend money."
"City people don't know how much a pound of rice can sell for, right? Have you ever thought about how much income farmers can earn from such cheap rice?"
"In the past, we rural people were born and rolled in the soil. We couldn't afford to live, get sick, or die. We had to rely on everything!"
…
Lao Liu continued: "Why is the income so low? In the past, the village was full of ravines. Not only did the yield per acre of grain be small, it was also difficult to grow and harvest.
"The older people in this village all have problems with their legs and feet or their waists. They are the result of hard work when they were young.
"Why not use machinery? The machinery can't drive in! A field is as big as the palm of your hand, and it would be too crowded if there are too many people stepping on it, let alone the machinery?"
"The young people are unwilling to stay in the village. Farming is tiring and their income is small. They have all gone to work in the city. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the village.
“At that time, people in the village couldn’t afford medical treatment, couldn’t afford to go to school, and large areas of land were abandoned.
"There are no clear waters and green mountains. They are just a group of farmers with sallow faces and skinny muscles, living in the soil.
"Look."
He stopped and pointed to the house on the side. He saw an old man sitting at the door. His right trouser leg was empty and his crutch was beside him.
Old Liu went on to say:
"Have you seen that old man? A few years ago, he was lame and still farming. He sat on the bench and plowed the land with hoe after hoe.
"I had been an official in the city for several years and had never been to a rural area. How could I have seen such a scene?
"When I saw this village, my heart was so cold! I even shed tears.
"It's so painful. It makes me sad to see it. There are still people living such a life in our country.
"But all this was changed by Aunt Xu's son."
Qin Yunchu felt his heart twitching when he heard this. When he heard Chen Ya finally appeared, he quickly asked:
"How did he change?"
A smile appeared on Lao Liu's face and he said: "He first paid for it and leveled the land. There were more fields, the yield per mu was high, there was a surplus, and the villagers became rich.
“He also established a fund to provide free financial support to children in the village who go to school to learn mechanics and auto repair.
"Now the villagers are farming. When the farming is busy, they can rent an excavator and plant the fields easily. Children who learn to operate machinery also make money.
"He also provided money to create several positions for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. As long as they clean the house every day, they can receive a salary of several thousand yuan a month."
He walked up to the one-legged old man and said, "Have you gone to work today?"
The one-legged old man stood up and said dullly: "Go up, now go up again."
After that, he picked up the bamboo basket placed next to the bench, held a cane in one hand and a poker in the other, and limped forward.
He walked to the crowd, picked up a piece of garbage on the ground with a pair of fire tongs, threw it into the bamboo basket behind him, and then continued walking forward.
Old Liu looked back at everyone: "Look, he has taken care of everyone."
Everyone was silent for a long time, and then He Ling said, "Aunt Xu's son is so kind."
Wang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, and he is very thoughtful."
Jiang Xinhai also said: "Everyone is taken care of, everyone has work to do, and everyone can make money."
There is another sentence they did not say: This is much more reasonable than directly paying money to support lazy people.
Lao Liu pointed in the other direction and said: "There is another one over there, let's go check it out."
Everyone didn't go far when they saw a woman feeding her daughter in the yard.
Lao Liu pointed at her and said: "She gave birth to three children, her husband was electrocuted to death, and she was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Aunt Xu's son paid for her medical expenses and underwent surgery, and she was cured."
"The tuition and miscellaneous fees of her three daughters were paid by Aunt Xu's son. Now her eldest daughter works as a caregiver in the city and sends 2,000 yuan home a month."
After seeing Lao Liu, the woman smiled and nodded at him.
Old Liu shouted to her: "Xu Hui, they want to ask Aunt Xu about her son!"
The woman put down her job, took her little daughter's hand, and ran over and said, "That's my family's benefactor!"
Lao Liu waved his hand and said, "Alas, you don't have to come over."
But the woman kept talking: "That is a huge kindness, and I will never be able to pay it back in my lifetime..."
"Okay, okay... you go and feed the child quickly, the child is very hungry."
Old Liu led everyone to escape quickly, then turned around and explained in a low voice:
"I shouldn't have called her that. Every time I mention Aunt Xu's son, she talks about it for at least two hours."
Lao Liu led everyone to a pond. The blue sky and white clouds reflected on the surface of the pond like a mirror.
"He also spent money to dig this pond. The village committee rents the pond to the villagers. The villagers raise fish and shrimp here, and part of the income goes to the village collective. In this way, the village collective has money to pay some benefits every year and do some welfare work.
Everyone’s business.”
He then pointed to the white street lights and said: "These solar street lights are not ordinary street lights. There is one in front of every house. Solar power can not only power the street lights, but also save some for residents' daily use. The electricity bill is reduced."
A big chunk."
"Not to mention these roads, guardrails, and street trees, they were all built with money from Aunt Xu's son."
Lao Liu said all this in one breath, as if he knew all the treasures in his family.
When everyone arrived in front of the land rented by the program team, Lao Liu pointed to the field and said:
"These three pieces of land are the fields you rent. Are they very flat? Aunt Xu's son also made them flat."
Everyone listened for a long time before they finally figured it out.
What, what they saw in this village... 80% of it was done with money from Aunt Xu’s son!
At this time, the barrage was already crazy with joy.
"Best of the whole show: Aunt Xu's son."
"Ichao, Aunt Xu's son is simply the god of this village. He does everything!"
"I feel like Aunt Xu's son is playing a business simulation game to develop this village."
"Having said all that, where is the address? I want to move to this village."
"Wow, wow, I'm so envious, I'm so envious, I want to live in this village too, it feels so wonderful!"
"The life here is indeed a paradise-like life, but it was built by Aunt Xu's son."
…
Director Tian stared at the camera with a satisfied expression on his face.
As a result of this unexpected incident, the program's effect was even better than he imagined!
At this moment, an aunt in colorful clothes passed by and looked disdainful when she saw Old Liu talking impassionedly about Aunt Xu's son.
Chapter completed!
