He kept covering his mouth and didn't say anything.
The machine was making noises, attracting many people to come and watch. Seeing that the long-awaited grain harvester had finally arrived, they were a little sad because the grains were soaked in water and they didn't dare to add water for fear that they would all run away.
Seeing more and more people coming, and even children running after them, Zhu Zhi had no choice but to stop the machine and said, "Get out of the way! Are you still going to harvest the millet?"
Although these millets are soaked in water, they can be eaten as long as they are not moldy. Why don't you pick them up? Tian Xiaolan was a little confused. She jumped out of the car and said: "You don't harvest rice! Then what do you eat during the New Year? Do you want to become immortal?!"
"What are you cutting? How can we cut the grain when it's like that? Go cut one and let me see. When will the leader come to inspect? I just want the leader to help us solve this problem."
Tian Xiaolan saw that their attitude showed that they had no desire to work at all. She didn't understand why they should pin their hopes on others. It would be better for them to start rescuing people now and save as many as possible.
"No one of you is moving, right? Then let's go back and tell the mayor that you are too lazy. Let's see whether he believes me or you!" Tian Xiaolan was determined to try again no matter what.
As he spoke, he used a stick to drive them away: "You little girl, why are you so stubborn? We are just waiting for the leader to come. Go away!"
Tian Xiaolan said indignantly, "If everyone is like you, why would we bother growing crops? We'd just wait for the leaders to come and provide relief! If it rains again, your rice will be gone."
"How can we fight against God? You are standing so high that your back won't hurt when you talk! If you want to collect it, you can collect it yourself. I won't collect it anyway."
At this point, Tian Xiaolan had to reveal his identity to intimidate them: "Who are you? You are so bold, do you know who he is? He is the brother of the deputy director of the town. Believe it or not, he will tell the director and see if he will help you."
It goes without saying that the leader must be someone who has a say in the village. If he is not put under pressure by someone more powerful than him, he might cause everyone to have no food to eat.
Some people were moved by her words, so she continued to persuade them: "It's not too late for everyone to take action now. You can't just wait for others to rescue you. If you don't save yourselves, no one can help you. Today is a good day. If you take the harvested millet and dry it, you will have something to eat. Think about it carefully."
An elderly man said, "What the little girl said makes some sense. We can't just wait for the leaders to come and rescue us. We don't know how long it will take for the leaders to come. If they don't come, we will starve to death!"
Some leaders in the town may just come for the sake of formality and will not really help them. It is more reliable to rely on their own hands.
The others were moved by his words, and many people still wanted to fish out the millet. It was not a good thing to keep it soaking, as they still had to plant it next year. The millet could not be turned into fertilizer, but would only get moldy in the water and would have to be harvested in the end.
So everyone was led by the old man to get tools, and Tian Xiaolan also came down to help them and inquire about the situation in the village.
"Master Zhu, I'll go help them first. Can you do it alone?"
"Okay, go ahead." Zhu Zhi knew she couldn't sit still, so he left her alone. "You better be careful when you're alone!"
''good.''
She first introduced herself: "Uncle, my name is Tian Xiaolan, and I'm from Wangjia Village next door. Do you know me?"
How could he not recognize that Tian Xiaolan was just a fool? Now the woman standing in front of him was clear-headed. What on earth had stimulated him to make her okay?
There was some admiration in her eyes as she looked at him. She was not afraid at all when facing the captain and was able to express her opinions with reason and evidence. She was really great.
"Everyone in the village calls me Old Li. Why are you following me?"
Tian Xiaolan said to him: "Uncle Li, I wonder if there is anything I can help you with."
"Why do you need to come? I can do it." Old Li didn't dare to let her come. She seemed to have a special relationship with the master who was operating the grain harvester. How could he dare to let her do it? He couldn't bear the consequences if something went wrong.
Tian Xiaolan was not surprised to hear him refuse. She might have scared him by being so proactive: "Uncle, I came here to help on my own initiative. I don't want any money. Don't be afraid."
Seeing that she was determined to help him, she thought of the child at home who would be upset if he went to the fields and no one took care of him: "Okay, you can help me look after the child at my house!"
Looking after the baby? She doesn’t know if it’s possible, but she can try.
"That's right."
As the two were walking, the old man suddenly remembered that Tian Xiaolan and the others had arrived so suddenly that they had not yet prepared a place for them to stay, but someone should be able to arrange it for them.
"Can you cook?"
Tian Xiaolan understood what he meant and took the initiative to teach him how to cook: "I know a little bit, I can make lunch, but you may not be used to it."
"It's okay, we can eat whatever you make." Tian Xiaolan must be very capable to be able to operate this machine, she must be being modest.
"By the way, can you ask Master Zhu to come for lunch?"
Seeing that person’s bad attitude, she felt that eating and sleeping were problems for both her and Master Zhu, and they had to solve it themselves.
She would go visit her mother's relatives when she had time, but it would not be convenient for her to stay at their house, so she would just take it one step at a time.
"I'll definitely call him over." "They're not welcome in this village. If he doesn't take them in, they'll probably end up sleeping in the car. They were sent by the town to help them, so why are the villagers so ignorant? They blame them for being late. They think it's wrong for them to help them without asking for money. These people really don't understand."
Following Uncle Li to his house, the mud walls were still standing, unaffected by wind and rain. Inside the house was a little girl with a rosy face, like a poor kitten.
Tian Xiaolan felt pity for the little girl and wanted to go over, but when she saw the defensive look on the little girl's face, she didn't go over.
There was not much furniture in the room, just some miscellaneous items piled together, and there was some dust on the floor. I didn't sit down immediately after entering the room. I smiled and greeted her: "Hello, little sister!"
He took out a hard candy from his pocket and handed it to her, "Want some candy, little sister?"
The little girl hid behind Uncle Li in fear, looked at the candy in Tian Xiaolan's hand, and swallowed secretly.
Uncle Li said a little embarrassedly: "She doesn't like to eat candy. Candy is such a precious thing, why don't you keep it for yourself!"
"Okay." Tian Xiaolan agreed first.
