Chapter 160 People who want to move to the safe zone

"It's too tragic. Why do you think there are such ignorant people in the world?" Aunt Liang was sitting on the sofa in our living room, talking with Jiang Ma and Qu Ma about the person who was poisoned to death.

"Or people say that this person's heart is like the mountain road, with nine twists and eighteen bends, you can't see through it just by looking at the surface." Jiang Ma also lamented the changeability of the human heart.

"Hey, the bottom line is that the safety zone caused trouble." Qu Ma said.

"Yes, you said why the leader can't think of something good for the common people every day, and the idea came out as soon as he slapped his head." Aunt Liang began to criticize the root of the crime.

"That's not right. It's something you think about. You don't think too much about ordinary people like us." Qu Ma also began to complain.

"Actually, it can be seen from this whether this safe zone is safe or not." Jiang Ma said.

The others looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"Think about it, the safe zone is said to be the safest, that is for disasters and diseases. They don't care about the character of the people who live in it. Think about it, how many people use their own food to pay How do those people who have no food at home live in? Where does their food come from?

Wouldn't it be good if these criminals got together?So I said that this safe zone only recognizes food but not people, which is pushing him to a dead end.Just wait, in a few years, the safe zone will no longer be safe. "Mother Jiang is used to looking at the essence through phenomena, and this time is the same.

"Hey, do you think that the safe zone is really as good as the legend says? A good one can turn a good person into a wife and a daughter. Isn't this more beautiful than Chen Shimei?" Aunt Liang said from the safe zone. It reminded me of the case that happened in the county.

"It will take time to prove it. I don't believe there is the most advanced mosquito repellent system in the world. If there is such a good thing, we won't die so many people here this year. And if we can develop a mosquito repellent system, it should be A mosquito-killing system can be researched, wouldn’t that prevent the infection of virus A from the root?” I interjected.

"Yes, Xiaoyi is right. No matter how you look at it now, it is not a good idea to go inside the safe zone. It is not a place for people to live, and now it makes them look like a wolf's den.

I figured it out, no matter how good this safe zone is, it belongs to others, and nowhere is as comfortable as living in my own home.We can do whatever we want in our own home, but we can’t do it there. They can’t support us for nothing, and we probably have to work to earn food. "Aunt Liang has completely given up on the idea of ​​going to the safe zone.

"That's not true, we can think of it stupidly, just hand over 500 catties of rice, and want someone to support us for a lifetime, is that possible?" Qu's mother said.

"That's right, let's be honest, stay at home and live our lives on the ground. Even if the doomsday really comes, we won't be afraid. How wonderful is this Tashan Village? If we have land to plant, we won't starve to death, and we can live in a house backed by the mountain. , we won’t freeze to death, relatively speaking, the staff here is simple, without those messy people, how can it be better than this now.” Jiang Ma made a concluding speech.

"Yes, Xiaoyi chose this place is really good." Aunt Liang hurriedly turned her head and praised me after hearing Mama Jiang's words. I was the one who wanted to buy a house here.

Then she said to us mysteriously: "Have you heard that there are really a few people in our village who want to go to the safe zone."

"Who is it?" I stay at home every day, and I know very little about these gossip news, but I am also a person who likes to listen to gossip, so when I hear gossip, I quickly ask.

"There are several, but one of them you will never guess is the head of our village." Aunt Liang revealed the answer.

This answer is really quite explosive. We don't think anyone would have thought that the village chief wanted to go to the safe zone.

"Is this news accurate?" I asked.

"It was the village chief's daughter-in-law who accidentally slipped the tongue when talking to Guichun's daughter-in-law, and Guichun's daughter-in-law told me again." Aunt Liang's diplomacy in Tashan Village is better than ours. Good sister.

"Oh, I really can't think of it. How could the village chief want to go to the safe zone? With his experience, he shouldn't be able to."

"I heard that his eldest son gave him the whole quota and asked them to move in. His eldest son is also inside. This way, the family can be reunited inside." Aunt Liang continued.

"Then what about his girl?" Mother Qu asked.

The village chief has a son and a daughter, both of whom are married. The son lives in the city and is said to be quite capable, but his family is relatively low-key, so no one talks about it. His daughter also married into the county.It seemed that the old couple and their son's family were going to enter the safe zone, which meant leaving the girl behind.

"How can a married girl control so much water now. Besides, I can't control it even if I want to. The girl's family also has a lot of relatives. How can his son have such great ability to control everyone? Get it in." Aunt Liang explained.

"Even if you have the ability to get a quota, you don't have any food to pay." Mother Qu interjected.

"That's right, his son took them to the safe zone. I heard that the old couple was asked to pay 500 catties for each person, and 5 catties for five members of their family." Aunt Liang said.

"His son is indeed very capable. He is very capable outside the family." After I finished speaking, everyone looked at me in confusion, and explained: "It is said that he is capable outside. He can lift a 700-jin When the price of grain was bargained to 500 catties, these five people lost 5 catties of grain, which is a big saving.”

Everyone nodded after listening to my explanation, and I went on to say: "To say that he is capable at home is to say that if he keeps his mouth shut, his parents will run away, and he can fool his parents into ruining their property and give him so much money." Food, it’s not enough.”

After listening, everyone nodded in understanding.

"Didn't you say that there are still several houses to go to, besides the village chief's house, who else is there?" Qu Ma asked again.

"There are also Lao Li's family, Lu Dongliang's family, and Lao Tian's family at the head of the village." Aunt Liang said.

"Yo, the most treacherous families in our village have to go no matter what." Qu Ma said.

"It seems that their harvest this year is not enough for the whole family to go to the safe zone, right?" Jiang Ma asked a key question.

"That's right, so they have started negotiating with people they have a good relationship with in private. They want to sell houses and land to collect food."

"How much can you sell? Can you sell thousands of catties of grain? Even if it can be sold at this price, no one in our village can afford it except us." I asked a little puzzled.

"Then I don't know. However, if they ask me, my family will not buy it. Our family is just these few people, and the house is enough to live in. Our own land and land for reclamation have exhausted these people this year. Can't No matter how many varieties there are, besides, the food harvested in these fields is enough for our family to eat, so there is no need to buy it again.” Aunt Liang still feels sorry for the family members, especially the eldest brother-in-law. My brother-in-law does the most heavy and tiring work. Chenchen is not yet an adult, so I dare not let him do too much heavy work. The elder sister and herself are even worse, so the mother sees her son exhausted in order to feed the family with more food. , Distressed.

"Aunt Liang, the two of us thought of going together. My family is no longer buying land. This year our family has planted a total of 36 acres of land. This is not counting the greenhouse in the backyard, but Jiang Zhi and the three of them are exhausted. In the future You can’t say anything more, and you can’t just ask for food or die.” I am speaking the truth.

We planted so much land this year, mainly because we don’t know how the harvest will be in the field, and we are also worried about the end of the world. We always think that more land will be planted and more grain will be produced.But for the past six months, the three of Jiang Zhi and the others have basically been rolling around in the field every day, their whole bodies are tanned, and their skin has been peeled off several layers.That's really skinny.I peeled off the skin on Jiang Zhi's back, and when I peeled it off, it was a large piece. Later, the sun was too harsh, and I had to wear long clothes and trousers when I went to the ground. This was better, and they also turned white.

Not only are they tanned, but their bodies are much more muscular. You can see little mice when you lift their arms, and the six-pack abdominal muscles are clearly visible. They can catch up with Popeye in the cartoon.

These changes are all due to their long-term labor over the past few months.

After the autumn harvest this year, I have made a decision that I will never open up any more land in the future. The grain from these lands is enough for our family to eat.

A few days after we chatted, the village head really came.

Before the village head entered our yard, he shouted: "Is Jiang Zhi at home?" He knew that Jiang Zhi was in charge of our house, so he went to Jiang Zhi directly if he needed anything.

When we were at home, we heard the voice of the village chief, so we hurried out and welcomed the village chief in.

"Is the village head here today for something?" Jiang Zhi sat opposite the village head and asked after seeing me pour the water and sit down.

The village head pondered for a while and said, "That's the thing, you should know that our province has established a safety zone?"

The village chief looked at us and nodded, and then said: "My son has some connections in the city, and I want us to go there to enjoy the blessings. We discussed it with the old couple. We are old, and the world is not good now. It is better to be closer to our children and grandchildren. , there is still a caretaker, so we want to move. If we leave, we may not be able to come back in a while, so we want to deal with the houses and land in the village.

I don't mind that you are new here, and these things must be lacking, so I will ask you first if you want them. "

Dealing with officials is not very good. This person who is begging you, why does he speak like we are begging him, as if he came to us because he took care of us.

"Oh, village head, you are so kind to us. You still think about us. But we are powerless now. Planting these fields this year will exhaust us. The old and the young at home There are a lot of them, the three of us are the only ones who can contribute seriously. My wife can say that next year she will not plant so much land. You can’t put the cart before the horse. Planting food is for survival, but you can’t die of exhaustion for food. .

But I still want to thank you for thinking of our family so much. "Jiang Zhi also pretended to be confused and didn't mention the village chief's lack of food.

The village head was sitting on the sofa, without saying a word for a long time, the expression on his face was very reluctant to stand up and say goodbye, he couldn't bear to beg Jiang Zhi.

"But..." At this time, Jiang Zhi spoke again.

The village head quickly looked at Jiang Zhi, thinking that things were turning around.

"However, if your tractor is for sale, we can discuss it."
