Chapter 329 328 What Primary School Students Do
The disaster relief food will be distributed by the village chief or someone with credibility on his behalf.
After all, some village chiefs are infected with the epidemic or are old, so they have to use their sons or others to manage the village on their behalf.
An Xin brought his men to Xujiazhuang and followed the same procedure.
When the villagers of Xujiazhuang heard someone outside the village shouting for disaster relief grain, the people who were using hot water to boil the few remaining moldy grains in their homes thought for a moment that they were hallucinating.
A month ago, they could not afford to buy food in the city because it was too expensive.
When the villagers had no extra food at home, they knelt down and begged the officials in the government office, hoping that they would open the granaries and release grain to help them who had no food at home.
In order to prove that the families had really come to the government for help because they were out of food, each village brought their starving children, but the officials in the government remained indifferent.
Even when some villagers suggested not to seek relief from the government office and instead just borrow grain from the government office and return it the following year, their proposal was still rejected by the government.
They were also charged with the crime of gathering a crowd to cause a disturbance, and officers and soldiers were sent to take the village heads out and beat them with sticks. Only then did everyone disperse reluctantly.
Why would they now give disaster relief food to these poor people?
The village chief of Xujiazhuang was a middle-aged man. When he came out, he was still wearing the mask that An Xin and others had given him last time, and occasionally a few dull coughs came from his throat.
It seems that he was also infected with the disease.
Originally, the village chief of Xujiazhuang came out just to see if it was the bored officer who wanted to distribute relief food to amuse the villagers who were dizzy and starving.
Normally, when villagers come out and encounter such things, they will be laughed at by the officers and soldiers. However, there will always be villagers who hold on to hope and walk to the village entrance to see if it is true.
When Xu Yong, the village chief of Xujiazhuang, walked out and saw the man sitting on the horse from afar, he realized that it was the man who was misunderstood by everyone yesterday. They thought he was a gang of Prefect Fang who wanted to burn them to death.
In the end, it was the female official who helped them out.
Xu Yong walked to the village entrance with trembling legs because of hunger and illness. When he saw An Xin, hope rekindled in his eyes that had been empty and confused for a long time.
When he found that there were indeed several carts of food behind An Xin, the grown man suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and cried hoarsely, as if only this could vent the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
When the people in Xujiazhuang heard or saw their village chief behave like this, they thought something had happened.
They all ran over with sticks in their hands, looking as if they would fight to the death if their village chief was bullied by the soldiers.
The village chief of Xujiazhuang barely stood up and stopped everyone. He pointed in the direction of An Xin, opened his mouth, and was so excited that he couldn't utter a word.
But there was no need for him to say anything at this time, because everyone with eyes could see the food in those carts.
The village chief of Xujiazhuang heard An Xin say that food should be distributed according to population, so he needed to throw out the number of people recorded in each household in the village and calculate how much food was needed. He would then let the soldiers move to the village entrance to distribute the food themselves.
He hurried back to get the household register which recorded the names of all the villagers. He felt that he looked very old when he walked out of the village just now, as if he was pretending.
Seeing hope, Xu Yong felt that his condition, which had worsened over the past two days, seemed to have improved, and breathing was not so stuffy and difficult anymore.
It is true that people live on their spirit. Without the spirit, they are half dead.
Xujiazhuang was still in quarantine at this time. An Xin, wearing sewn gloves on his hands, caught the household registration booklet thrown by Xu Yong.
Seeing the anxious looks of the villagers, she did not hand the household register to the official in charge of calculating grain, but quickly calculated how many people there were in Xujiazhuang.
Five kilograms of disaster relief grain for adults and three kilograms for children under twelve years old. That's how many kilograms of disaster relief grain should Xujiazhuang get in total.
There's no point in going back and forth, I just figured it out in three minutes.
Others were amazed and felt inferior to him.
I thought to myself, no wonder this woman could enter the court and hold a high position. It's just that her ability of mental arithmetic that can read ten lines at a glance is unmatched by many people.
Even the two officials from Nanyang Prefecture who followed him were surprised by An Xin's calculation ability.
Seeing that the villagers were anxious to get their share of food, An Xin did not waste time handing the household allowance to the person who specialized in calculating it, and she calculated it herself at the same time.
If she knew that these people had so many inner thoughts, she might not be able to help but say, "..." If this kind of calculation happened in modern times, it would be something that elementary school students would do.
What's so surprising about her, a college student, doing things that an elementary school student does?
There are good people everywhere, but there are also cunning ones.
An Xin discovered a few restless and cunning people among the crowd in Xujiazhuang. When the village chief of Xujiazhuang was distributing food, they stared at those who were weak, lonely or young.
So he shouted outside: "If anyone bullies the weak and wants to get more food or forcibly seize the food that others have allocated.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Even if there is an epidemic in the village and it is not suitable to enter or leave at this time, this official will punish all those who are sued with the heaviest criminal law after the epidemic is over. "
Xu Yong, who was busy distributing grain, heard An Xin's voice and looked up, and saw a few dishonest families in his village who always liked to take advantage of others.
At this moment, he was staring at the orphans and widows, as well as the elderly people living alone in the village whose family members had died due to the epidemic. He was so angry that he picked up a stick nearby and threw it at them.
He shouted fiercely, "If you don't behave yourself, I will treat you all as invalids with serious diseases and bury you alive."
Perhaps because he was angry, after teaching those people a lesson, Xu Yong still coughed violently a few times.
An Xin saw the shadow of a former soldier in the village chief of Xujiazhuang. Later, when he asked, it was true. The bloodiness of a soldier is more evident in difficult times.
Perhaps this is the character honed in war and the indelible momentum.
Seeing Xu Yong asking those infected with the disease to step back and letting those who were not sick to receive the food first, no one dared to take more than they deserved after seeing Xu Yong's display of power just now.
People from the same village have some feelings for each other. Although there was a minor incident in the distribution of disaster relief grain in Xujiazhuang, the villagers who got the grain in the end.
Under the leadership of Xu Yong, they knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude to An Xin, who was dressed in official uniform. Then An Xin watched them happily carry the food back home.
In fact, what people want is very simple, that is, to have enough food and warm clothing, but such an ordinary wish is not easily achieved.
Although the amount of food each family received this time was not much, it was enough for them to eat for a while.
After the relief grain was distributed, it was Imperial Physician Tang's turn to take the field.
He ordered someone to bring a table from the carriage, and started sitting at the connection point at the entrance of the village, calling Xu Yong who also wanted to leave.
"Come here. I just saw you coughing. Are you also infected with this epidemic?" Imperial Doctor Tang waved at him, "Come here, come here, let me take a look at you."
