Chapter 174

Dr. Gong left without staying for a day, why are you still staying?

As far as the Yin family's attitude...can't help, can't help.

I was so angry all day long.

Doctor Gong left, and Doctor Duan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the grain in the county rose to 150 Wen a catty, the wall of Huaishu Village was built. At Yin Tao's request, the wall was three meters high.

The gate is made of whole logs nailed side by side.

Very strong.

There are three adobe houses built on one side of the gate, one is a firewood room and the other is a stove room.One is the house where the gatekeeper lives.

Originally, Yin Gui planned to let people take turns guarding it.

But Yin Tao suggested that Aunt Hu and his wife should have a one-month probationary period, and then sign a formal employment contract after the probationary period.

This is equivalent to the husband and wife guards in some relatively backward communities in modern times.

In addition to guarding the gate of the village, they are also responsible for the cleanliness around the gate and the smooth patrol work of the fence.

The advantage of husband and wife guards is that there is no handover. Once there is any mistake, it is your husband and wife's business anyway, so it is relatively not easy to shirk responsibility like changing people every day.

The second is that Aunt Hu and his wife are in their 40s and in good health, so they are more qualified for this position.

What's more, there are two men in the Hu family, one of them left to serve as a soldier, and the other one is left in the family, who can come to help if there is anything to do.

Of course, the most important thing is that these two couples have a good relationship with Shen Xiao, and Aunt Hu is the first person to speak good words for Shen Xiao since Yin Tao came to this world.

Several village elders had objections, but Yin Gui just said, the money is in Lao Tzu's hands.

One sentence choked everyone speechless.

The couple's salary is [-] yuan a month, which is much less than the wages of working in the town, but because it is a job at the door of the house, it still attracts the jealousy of many people.

But what about the eyes?
The silver is in Yin Gui's hands, and Yin Gui can do whatever he wants, and everyone only dares to make sour remarks.

In fact, in Yin Tao's view, this small village is no different from the backward communities in later generations. There are many communities with hundreds or thousands of households in later generations.

When the food in the county rose to [-] Wen a catty, Arita got out all the copper pens and fountain pens that Yin Tao wanted.

There are thick and thin, very easy to use.

Yin Tao suggested that he make more during the winter, so that they can be sold after the beginning of spring. Anyway, the materials consumed for this thing are limited.

The food in the county rose to [-] Wen a catty within a few days, and the whole Antu County became panicked.

In Huaishu Village, many people came to find relatives to borrow food.

Some people insisted on it, and some people were too thin-skinned to refuse, so they borrowed some in the end.

At this time, Dr. Duan was able to successfully perform a minor operation on the rabbit. After the operation, the rabbit survived, and Dr. Duan was very happy.

Yin Tao gave him another booklet, which described how to drain fluid, how to drain pus, etc., and asked him to try it on small animals before using it on humans.

And he was repeatedly told that the utensils used for one patient must be strictly sterilized before they can be used for the second patient.

Doctor Duan took notes seriously, and then left from Yin's house.

Some people in the village began to run out of food.

Most of the people who ran out of food borrowed food out of face.

They went to relatives' homes to ask for food, but unfortunately they all returned in vain.

But these are their original choices, who is to blame?
The Laba Festival came in such an atmosphere, and the atmosphere in Huaishu Village was very gloomy.

Except for Yin's family, no one cooks Laba porridge. They want to cook it, but what do they cook it with?
Just after noon, someone knelt in front of Yin's house with their child in their arms, wanting to borrow food.

Yin Tao looked at the old women who were kneeling on the ground with their children in their arms. She sneered, just like the end of the world, those who come out to sell poor people are old and weak, and then the family with good hands and feet hides behind the old and weak to enjoy their success .

Among the kneeling group of people was an old woman from the old Wu family.

"Village chief, please save us."

"Please, we are starving to death, please lend us some food, village chief, to get over this difficulty."

"Village chief, you see that your animals are not short of food, just give us all the food for the animals."

"The eaves of Lin's house are full of bacon... Please help us if you do me a favor... They are all from the village. You have the heart to watch us starve to death?"

The women were aggrieved and cried as they spoke.

Many people from the village gathered around, and some couldn't help but speak for them.

Xu's furious: "To put it bluntly, no one's food is stolen. Why, you poor man, you poor man just lend the food!"

The man fell silent, but someone still stood up to help: "Isn't there no way, if there is a way, they can't come and kneel outside your house."

"Yes, they are all from the folks in the village. If you can help, please help."

"If you don't help...it will be chilling."

"Help me, the old woman doesn't stop you, why do you help? It's ridiculous, you ask my family to help you just by talking up and down, the food is conjured out of thin air by my family?

Standing and talking doesn’t hurt your back, you open your mouth and you are a living Bodhisattva, our family is rich and unkind if we don’t give out food, and we don’t get good if we give out food, because you persuade us to give it.

All the conscientious stuff, Murata gave it for nothing, and the village learned it for nothing! "Xu's fire is very big.

At this time, Chen's eyes rolled, she stood up and said weakly: "Mother... if we have something in our family, let the folks share it, they can't survive..."

Her natal family also came to look for her. At that time, when Hengchang Grain Company sent people to buy food everywhere, her natal family sold all the food.

Mrs. Chen secretly gave some food to her natal family, but it was far from enough.

She thought that if the boss opened a way to borrow food, then she would also be able to help her mother's family borrow some.

As for not paying it back... Can she beat her if she doesn't pay the boss?

And when she speaks at this time, the villagers can remember her kindness, which further sets off the old lady's viciousness.

Mrs. Chen has a good plan.

"You loser..." Xu was so angry that Yin Tao held her back.

Yin Tao said loudly: "Everyone, my family doesn't actually have any food, but we have stocked up enough food for the New Year. As for meat, we do have it.

But meat is much more expensive than food, and now pork has been sold for two taels of silver a catty, do you want our family to share the meat for two taels of silver a catty? "

Everyone laughed: "No, I just want to ask the village chief to borrow some food..."

Yin Tao said: "Borrowing food is definitely not an option. Our family doesn't have much food. Even the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food these days, let alone our family. With so many people in our family and so many mouths, our own food is not enough. !

But if you want to buy this meat, you can sell it to you, it doesn’t matter if you buy it all, as long as you give it at the price in the town yesterday..."

Everyone didn't expect Yin Tao to say that. Their family only sells meat and doesn't borrow food?

How about that!
