"Everyone, please be quiet." Wang Hongjie raised his hand and signaled everyone.
The originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent and looked at Wang Hongjie.
"I called everyone here today to announce two things. The first thing I think everyone has already guessed, we have already delivered the team's food in full."
As soon as Wang Hongjie said this, the villagers were immediately happy, but then Wang Hongjie spoke again.
"But after the team delivers all the food, the food left in our village won't be enough for everyone to survive the winter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately exploded and everyone started shouting.
"How can this be possible? We are all waiting for the cool wind to get through the winter."
"Yes, my mother has been lying in bed for three days. We are just waiting to get some food back so that we can cook something for her."
"My daughter-in-law is so hungry that she has no milk left. My grandson used to cry every day, but now he can't even cry anymore."
"If there is no food, it will cost us all our lives."
“…”
Wang Hongjie knew early on that his announcement of this news would cause such a commotion.
Otherwise, why would he lock himself up at home for two days after paying his taxes? I just don't know how I should face this.
He was brought the news by Su Miaomiao.
Wang Hongjie raised his hand and yelled again: "Everyone be quiet, I'm trying to find a solution for you, right?"
Everyone looked at Wang Hongjie's relatively calm face, and their restless hearts calmed down a little.
Yes, the village chief would not just watch the entire village starve to death.
As Wang Hongjie said this, he took out 5 yuan from his pocket.
"Do you know what this is?"
When everyone heard what the village chief said, they were all stunned.
"Village chief, why are you still telling us jokes when the situation is critical? Isn't that money in your hand? We are not the ones who don't recognize money."
"Yes, this is the money, but do you know where this money comes from?" Wang Hongjie asked.
"How would we know that?" The villagers looked at each other.
"This is the money we earned from digging medicinal herbs with the children in the village, led by our comrade Su." Wang Hongjie spoke word by word.
"What? The money from digging and selling medicinal herbs?" The villagers were furious again.
They all knew that the children in their family followed Su Miaomiao to dig grass roots in the mountains.
It is said that you can eat candy every day.
These children originally ran around in the village every day, and their families didn't pay much attention to them.
I let them eat it just because I thought they could have some candy.
I didn’t expect that I could actually make money?
"Yes, and this is just the money earned in a week." Wang Hongjie affirmed.
"You can only earn 5 dollars a week? This job is too lucrative."
"So, village chief, you asked us to come here today so that we can all go to the mountain to dig medicinal herbs?" The smart villagers had already guessed Wang Hongjie's thoughts.
"That's right. There are still more than two months before winter. We should take advantage of this time to dig more medicinal herbs and sell them in the market. We can then use the money from selling the herbs to exchange for supplies for the winter, so that we won't suffer from the cold and hunger this winter!" Wang Hongjie said in a self-controlled and powerful voice.
