When the village chief heard that the situation was so serious that even the team leader couldn't do his job, he had no intention of being the village chief.

The village chief looked at the branch secretary next to him and said to him, "First, find a few people to take two bags of grain to the mill, and then quickly cook. Wait until the comrades have rested and eaten their fill before going up the mountain."

The branch secretary looked at him, then sighed, said nothing, and hurried out to arrange the work.

What he actually wanted to say was that there was not much food left in the warehouse. With so many people, they would consume a lot every day, and these snacks would not last for a few days.

The village chief also noticed that he was hesitant to speak.

Watching the branch secretary leave, the village chief sighed.

"Captain! We can't just be the ones providing the food! Pingzi Village is also within the range of the wildfire. None of us can tell where the fire started."

There is another village at the foot of each mountain where there is a piece of farmland. When the forest fire started, it was right in the middle of the two villages.

The people who came to support them were not on their side, so logically they should not be the ones to go.

It was only when the wildfire burned the village yesterday that these twenty or so people came. Otherwise, it would not be their village's turn to bear the cost of these people's food.

After hearing what he said, the captain could only solve the problem at hand first.

He said, "I've made the decision. The brigade will provide 400 kilograms of surplus food. Once the fire is out, you can bring it back to fill the vacancies."

The village chief said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's not a big deal. I'll go and make arrangements for a big pot of rice right away."

There are still some people on the mountain. If the team provides food, they can cook and send it to the mountain.
