Chapter 285: Do It Now
Xia Daohua’s “Picking Girls Project” has officially begun.
Of course, she just said that for fun.
Its real name is "Puji Rescue", which aims to provide help to anyone in need, regardless of who you are.
Of course, those who seek help for travel expenses will be carefully screened and treated differently.
If you really need travel expenses, I will give you some.
If they don't need travel expenses but are here to cheat people out of money, beat them up and kick them out.
As soon as the "Puji Rescue" project was launched, some people came to experience it - and they were not outsiders.
One of Grandma Zhang's grandsons, named Zhang Jiulang, who usually did nothing, heard about this and thought he could get an advantage, so he wore tattered clothes and went to beg for travel expenses.
As a result, he was recognized by Yang Jinxi.
Wei Shiqi commanded his men to beat Zhang Jiulang, leaving him with a bruised face and nose, but all of them were superficial injuries. They then drove him out with drums and gongs.
For this, Yang Jinxi hated himself for being too talkative, and even brought an old hen to Granny Zhang's house to apologize. Granny Zhang simply took the old hen away:
"Jinxi, you came here if you want to, why bring anything with you? Oh, this old hen is so fat!
I know about this. I really don’t blame you. Xiaojiu shouldn’t have had this idea in the first place!
They were worried about not having a chicken to kill to scare the monkeys, but he didn't know anything and just went there on his own!"
But having said that, she didn't say a word of modesty to the old hen.
He stuffed her directly into the kitchen, smiling, and quickly escorted Yang Jinxi out the door:
"Jinxi, when I talk to Xiaojiu later, I will make sure he doesn't hate you.
But he got beaten after all, so mother-in-law won't keep you for dinner today."
Yang Jinxi didn't get a chance to say a word from beginning to end, and let Granny Zhang finish her words. He smiled, shook his head, and turned to look for Wei Shiqi.
Since he met the young lady from the Xia family, he quickly got in touch with Brother Wei. Brother Wei appreciated his diligence and enthusiasm, and he was happy to run errands for Brother Wei.
Anyway, the little crumbs that slip through his fingers are enough for him to eat for several months!
Moreover, although the name "Puji Rescue" is a little difficult to pronounce, it is a business that accumulates virtue and does good deeds. Who wouldn't come to get involved when hearing about such a good thing?
Besides, you don’t have to spend any money yourself, just put in a little effort, so what’s there to be dissatisfied about!
The current framework of "Puji Rescue" is still very rough, and the tentative rule is to pick up homeless people when you encounter them.
Including the injured, the sick, women, the elderly and children.
It's not that men in distress cannot be helped, but they have to be carefully identified. Most of the time, all that is helped is a meal or travel expenses.
As for staying overnight, it must go through very strict review, or it must be under certain special circumstances.
After all, there are many elderly, weak, women and children in such places. If you are not careful and attract a man with bad intentions, it will be too late to regret it.
At the same time, "Puji Rescue" will cooperate with the government.
If there is someone looking for someone, and they can match every aspect of the people they "picked up", then help them go home.
If they don't match, or if there are doubts about the identity of the person who comes to claim it, then it will remain in your hands.
Xia Daohua was worried that she didn't have enough people of her own.
Among so many people picked up, even if the input-output ratio is a bit low, if you pick and choose carefully, you can always pick out a few that are barely usable, right?
Xia Daohua had a nice idea, but she was careless by nature and was too lazy to worry about it. She just wanted to grasp the outline and the overall situation.
All the specific tasks fell on Wei Shiqi and the Wang family's manager.
The manager sent by Wang this time was an old woman in her fifties, who was one of Wang's most trusted confidants.
She was not born in the Wang family, but was saved by Wang's mother and entered the Wang family. The old woman's surname was Lin, and her original name was Erniu. Wang's mother named her Sumei.
Lin Sumei was only nine years old when she was rescued, and she had always been with Wang's mother. Later, when Wang was born, Lin Sumei became Wang's maid.
All the slaves of the Wang family, whether they were born or bought, would be married off when they turned 15. When Lin Sumei reached that age, she was unwilling to leave the Wang family, nor to marry a servant, so she simply tied her hair up and became a self-combed girl.
The Wang family members then changed their name to call her Nanny Lin.
Nanny Lin was dressed very neatly, her lips were kept tightly pursed, almost forming a straight line, and her expression was always serious, making people feel that she was not easy to get along with.
Even Granny Zhang, who was very friendly with everyone, didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of her. The lively and cheerful Gao Jinxi also stood there obediently with his hands behind his back, without making any movement.
Not to mention Granny Zhang and Gao Jinxi, even Xia Daohua would unconsciously adjust her sitting posture to be more upright when she saw Nanny Lin.
Nanny Lin has an aura that makes people feel as soon as they see her: this is a very upright person at heart.
Facts have proved that Nanny Lin did not disappoint Wang and Xia Daohua's trust. She is very good at managing people and affairs.
Starting with Mei Erya, they have rescued more than forty families, most of whom are women who are homeless for various reasons, and some homeless children.
There were also several elderly people and seriously ill men.
Xia Daohua settled the old man and the man in the yard rented for Mei Erya.
For that courtyard, Xia Daohua had already contacted the landlord through Granny Zhang as an intermediary and had officially signed a three-year lease.
Mei Erya and her daughter, as well as other women and children, were basically temporarily settled in a small farm bought by Xia Daohua in the suburbs.
It is the small village not far from where my third aunt Wu’s family settled.
The weather is cold, and there are tenants in the village. It is not convenient to farm now, but we can't let these people sit idle...
When people are idle, they are prone to gossip.
Finding something for them to do will help them adapt to life in the small village as quickly as possible and avoid trouble.
Secondly, you can take this opportunity to observe their temperament and character, and judge who can be retained and who cannot through their daily interactions and work styles.
Xia Daohua took out some white and blue cotton cloth and cotton from the supermarket and distributed them per person, asking them to make standard-sized quilts and warm winter clothes.
They were also given velvet fabric and soles so that they could make cotton shoes.
As for their daily tasks such as heating, burning firewood, and cooking, they also divide the labor and cooperate with each other, with several people working in a group and taking turns to be responsible.
Of course, Xia Daohua only put forward some ideas and came up with a few half-baked ideas. All the specific matters were left to Nanny Lin and her subordinates.
Wei Shiqi was responsible for the security of the small village. Secondly, the elderly and men in the city were also under his management.
In addition, Xia Daohua felt that a small school should be set up to teach children some basic knowledge such as literacy and abacus.
Adults can also teach if they are willing to learn.
Dear friends, do you still have votes? Please give me some... I love you all, (づ￣ 3￣)づ. Today is the beginning of autumn, have you put on some weight? Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. ^_^
