Chapter 350 Chen Baogen’s Gratitude



"I hope the benefits I seek for everyone can be implemented for everyone, especially the elderly and children, who are the focus of care.

I hope we can work together to build Chenjiatun into a true socialist new countryside.

Let all the elderly have a place to live, let all the children have a place to depend on, let every child of school age have access to education, and let every patient have access to medical care."

There are too many sufferings in the world, and Yang Baiyi is not arrogant enough to think that he can help everyone, but he hopes that everything he sees in the small world where he lives is beautiful.

At this moment, the members and educated youth felt that Yang Baiyi was shining brightly and his figure became taller.

The elderly people who were despised by their sons and daughters-in-law because they were unable to work were moved to tears. The girls whose parents didn't want them to go to school just because they were girls had light in their eyes when they looked at Yang Baiyi.

The members who were clamoring for distribution according to work points just now felt ashamed when compared with Yang Baiyi.

Yes! It's true that my family has more labor, but the brigade didn't let my efforts go in vain! The more work points you get, the more food you get!

Now you want more benefits and all the good things belong to your family. Why?

"Doctor Yang, you're right. I'm too narrow-minded. Compared to you, I'm too selfish."

Chen Baicheng stood up and slapped himself in the face.

"Grandson, you should study hard too. What Doctor Yang said is so good! What is nursing and what is medical treatment."

"You have to be a scholar! What you say is of high standard."

"This level of vision, this awareness, is incomparable. It really is incomparable!"

Although many of the things Yang Baiyi said were only half understood, this did not hinder the members' admiration for Yang Baiyi.

Those were the days when people had simple thoughts and were demanding progress. Yang Baiyi's few direct words made everyone's blood boil and their morale was high.

Chen Baiwang rolled up his sleeves and waved his arms, and the members shouted slogans in unison, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Grandma, my brother is so awesome! Everyone is praising him!"

The little girl held Muxue's hand and jumped up and down with joy.

"Yes, my eldest grandson is the best!"

Mu Xue nodded seriously.

"This is the man I, Lin Wanru, have chosen. He always shines brightly no matter the occasion."

Lin Wanru looked at Yang Baiyi in the center of the crowd, her eyes full of affection and admiration.

After shouting slogans and reciting quotations, Yang Baiyi quietly left, and Chen Baiwang began to distribute money to everyone.

The first to be distributed were the educated youth. After being assigned to the Hope Melon Seed Factory, they participated in the entire process, from plowing the soil to sowing, from weeding to watering, and finally to frying the melon seeds after harvest. They were important managers of the Hope Melon Seed Factory.

There were nine educated youth in total, and each of them received more than 20 yuan, for a total of 180 yuan.

The members of the commune had no complaints about the special care the educated youth received. Instead, they felt that it was what they deserved.

Everyone knows that the reason why Yang Baiyi took the trouble to take the lead in setting up the Hope Melon Seed Factory and Hope Orchard was largely because of taking care of the educated youth.

The educated youth were lucky because they were assigned to the same production team as Yang Baiyi, which others could not envy.

The remaining members, including all the brigade cadres and even Yang Baiyi himself, were given three yuan per person.

There were still a few dozen dollars left, which were left at the brigade headquarters as funds.

"Thank you, Doctor Yang."

A man dressed in rags and covered in patches, after receiving the money, brought his whole family to bow to Yang Baiyi to express his gratitude.

Yang Baiyi knew this person. His name was Chen Baogen. He was one of the people who had the hardest life in Chenjiatun.

His family is a typical example of a family with many people but little labor force.

Chen Baogen's parents had a miserable life in the past. All the children they raised died for various reasons. They had Chen Baogen when they were almost forty years old.

The couple raised Chen Baogen carefully and found him a wife.

Because the family is not large, having children has become an obsession for the whole family.

Chen Baogen's wife was also very fertile and gave birth to five children for Chen Baogen in eight years.

The eldest is only eleven years old this year, and the youngest is only three years old. Chen Baogen’s wife is pregnant with another one, and it looks like she’s about to give birth.

Because Chen Baogen's wife was either pregnant or giving birth in recent years, she hardly had any time to work properly.

Chen Baogen's parents are old and can only do the simplest farm work, earning five work points a day. Chen Baogen is the only strong laborer in the family.

The old couple could barely earn enough to feed themselves, leaving a family of seven who depended entirely on Chen Baogen's work points for support. One can imagine how difficult their life was.

The grain they received during the autumn harvest was not enough to eat, so borrowing money and grain from the production team became the main theme of their family.

If Yang Baiyi had not taken the initiative to waive the textbook fees for his children, none of their children would be able to go to school.

Today, their family of nine received 27 yuan at once, which was a huge sum of money their family had never seen before.

They knew that all this was brought by Yang Baiyi, and they had never been so grateful to someone before.

"Brother Baogen, the current difficulties are temporary. When the children grow up, your happy days will still be ahead. As long as there are people, there is hope."

Yang Baiyi helped them up one by one and encouraged them.

When he went to the countryside, the fifth child in Chen Baogen's family had already been born. Now telling them to have fewer and better children and that family planning is pure nonsense is pure nonsense. It is more practical to find a way to help them.

The members who received the money would express their gratitude with a smile when passing by Yang Baiyi.

Although the money distributed today is not too much, it is definitely not too little.

This is only the first year, and the riverbed has been developed less. With the development year by year, the money will increase year by year.

An acre of land produces 700 kilograms of corn, but after paying the public tax, there are only 300 kilograms left, and each kilogram is sold for only eight cents.

One acre of land produces one thousand kilograms of melon seeds, and one kilogram is sold for thirty cents. Even someone who has never been to school can do the math.

How much money could they make in a year once they fully develop the riverbank land belonging to Chenjiatun? Just thinking about it makes my heart burn.

After all the members had distributed their money, Yang Baiyi and his family followed the crowd and left the brigade headquarters.

"Mom, this is the twenty dollars I gave you. Please keep it."

After returning home, Zhou Fengying gave the money to Mu Xue.

"Good boy, mother has money. This is your salary. Keep it and buy whatever you want."

Yang Baiyi gave the old couple money every now and then, and they really didn't need it.

"Mom, I've kept the money you and Dad gave me to change my name, and I don't spend much money normally.

You are the shopkeeper of our family, and this money is our family income, so you should keep it."

Zhou Fengying insisted on giving the money to her mother-in-law for safekeeping.

"Mom, just take it. You can give it to us when we need it!"

Xiao Fuxing also said from the side.
