Ms. Wang Cuiping from the neighborhood committee said, "This is the general situation for the residents. After this brief investigation, the current information shouldn't be too different. If anyone has a special situation or one we haven't considered, please let us know. After all, we're all one family now that we've traveled through time, so we should help each other."
At this point, he added, "Every family has its own problems, but since we've traveled through time, we have no other options but to overcome them one by one. I believe everyone has some understanding of the situation in the book and the system's arrangements, so what we need to do now is to arrange our own affairs before those indigenous villagers arrive."
"I believe everyone has a lot of problems, but before that we still have to make arrangements for the children and the elderly."
The so-called elderly here refer to those who were originally over 70 years old but did not have children to travel with them. Of course, they are now middle-aged.
Among them are elderly people who are alone, and some are elderly couples living together. Their needs are actually quite simple. They just want a place to live and a helping hand with supplies.
But... they didn't have any support from the other people, so they came here empty-handed. Without the help of others, life would be extremely difficult. No one would be able to bear this kind of thing. The main issue today was to solve these biggest problems first, and then we could discuss what to do next.
Wang Cuiping said: "There are five households in this situation. I hope everyone can lend a hand. Just some basic living supplies will be enough. I believe we can help solve this problem quickly."
"Housing is actually easy. These elderly people are legitimate migrant workers, and the migration system has already provided them with the relevant documents. So the houses they've been given are the same as the indigenous people's, just not as nice as ours, and of course, they don't have renovation permits. We'll have to figure out things like stoves and kangs later, but the weather's still warm, so we can take our time." At this point, she looked at everyone and said, "I'll start by donating a 50-jin bag of rice to each of the five households."
At this point, these supplies weren't really a big deal; everyone was more worried about the children's supplies. Besides, there had to be a leader. If we could get these things sorted out now, it would make it easier to help each other later.
The elderly people nearby couldn't help but tear up. They had just arrived and had nothing. It was impossible for them not to worry. Fortunately... there were kind people.
With Wang Cuiping taking the lead, subsequent matters went smoothly.
"Everyone in my family gets 10 kilograms of salt."
"My family makes soy sauce!"
"My family provides meat!"
"My family provides mattresses!"
"My family gives me quilts!! But we only have two extra."
"Then I'll make up three!"
"I have five bottles of vitamin C here! It's good to have as a backup."
"Then my family can produce vitamin B."
"What size shoes are you wearing? We'll make cloth shoes!"
"Then we make soap!"
"us……"
At this time, there was absolutely no distinction between expensive and cheap items. As long as they were practical, their value was actually about the same. So no one would think that the other party's items were more ordinary and their own items were more expensive.
However, everyone also knows that they should give practical things as much as possible, after all, these are the basis of survival.
Tang Li said, "I'll give you a few wooden boxes. You'll need somewhere to put your things. I'll also give each of you a kitchen knife."
Father Xu said, "Then let's give everyone some clothes. We need to have a few extra sets of clothes ready for changing."
"Then we..."
"Thank you!! Thank you everyone." Although several elderly people have already faced the young people, their postures have not turned around yet. One of the old ladies may have had a hunchback for a long time. Although she can straighten her back now, she is a little late in getting used to it.
She bowed to everyone earnestly and said, "Thank you everyone."
…
At this point, the first major problem in the community was solved, but there were still many problems to come, and each one was not to be underestimated. Wang Cuiping felt that her work today was heavy. In fact, after she traveled through time, she would no longer have to deal with these things. However, she understood that everyone's lives were integrated. Since they were a group, no one could do without each other. The sooner these problems were solved, the better. So she would rather take the lead and be the troublemaker. After all, she had worked in the neighborhood for decades and was definitely more experienced than this group of young people.
So before the natives arrived, she decided to take responsibility herself. Otherwise, things would get chaotic and no one would be able to come up with a specific plan. If she waited until the natives arrived and started causing trouble, it would be difficult to deal with. So she had to do it as soon as possible.
"Next..." Wang Cuiping sighed helplessly, "It's about these five children. They were all separated from their parents for special reasons and are now reverted to being babies. Without help, they definitely won't survive for long. I know everyone is having a hard time right now, because time travel is completely unexpected, not to mention the huge issue of age. But... we come from the same place, and we will be part of the same group in the future... We can't be left behind!!"
“I hope everyone can lend a hand!!”
