Chapter 72 Old Support

When Li Ran heard Ye Lin's words, he was not surprised, but shocked. Yes, he was just shocked. She was a person who had experienced it. How could she not understand this? Although her parents are not far from here, they can meet several times a year.

Even though he was shocked, Li Ran still didn't believe that Ye Lin said that he was accompanying him if he didn't go out at home. He probably was either holding on to something or not thinking about something.

"Son, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Mom, how can you not believe me? I am your son."

Li Ran rolled his eyes to Ye Lin and said, "It's because you are my son that I asked you like this because I know you so well."

"Well!"

Li Ran's words left Ye Lin with nothing to say, because his mother was right. His mother knew him too well. If he was not by his mother's side, she might not know, but as long as he was by her side, he would definitely see it.

"Ye Lin, Ye Lin."

Just when Ye Lin didn't know how to answer his mother, Liu Wei shouted at the door of the backyard.

This guy usually calls Ye Lin Ersha, and Ersha calls him. The reason why he calls Ye Lin's name today is because he knows that Li Ran is at home. If Li Ran hears him calling Ye Lin Ersha, he will not be as good as him.

"Mom, I'll go and have a look."

"Yeah, go."

Ye Lin stood up from the chair, came to the door, opened the door, and asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"Ye Lin, someone is looking for you at the gate."

"Look for me? Who?"

"I don't know, I'm an old man and a middle-aged man."

Just as Ye Lin was about to go out to see him, Li Ran came out of the house and waved to Liu Wei. Liu Wei walked over carefully and shouted, "Teacher Li, what's the matter with you calling me?"

"You just said that there was an old man and a middle-aged man looking for Ye Lin?"

"Yes, Teacher Li."

Hearing Liu Wei say this, Li Ran turned his head and looked at Ye Lin and said, "Son, are you causing trouble again?"

"No!" Ye Lin was also a little confused, because he did not cause trouble during this period, and no one even messed with him. Since no one messed with him, how could he mess with him?

"No? Then what's going on?"

"I don't know either! Let's do this, mom, you wait in the house first, and I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll go with you."

"No need for mom, maybe someone is looking for me for something else."

When Li Ran frowned when he heard Ye Lin say this, but thinking of his son's mysterious secrets every day, he nodded and said, "Okay, go there, if there is anything, let someone call me."

"knew."

"Go."

Ye Lin and Liu Wei came to the gate of the slums together. Sure enough, two people were waiting for him at the gate. When they saw these two people, Ye Lin ran over excitedly and shouted: "Old Secretary, Uncle Da Kui, why are you here?"

That's right, the middle-aged man who came to find Ye Lin was the middle-aged man who took Ye Lin to their village to buy wild boars. As for the old man, of course, he was the old branch secretary.

"Ye Lin, we..." The old secretary seemed to be a little unable to speak.

Seeing the old branch secretary like this, Ye Lin still didn't understand that he must have encountered some difficult things, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find a child like him. Of course, this is also because of the impression Ye Lin left on them at the beginning.

What impression did Ye Lin leave on them? Of course, he was rich and capable. At a young age, he even spent dozens of dollars to buy a wild boar.

"Old Secretary, Uncle Da Kui, it's so cold outside, let's go in and talk."

"Ye Lin, it's not necessary to go in. I'll just say a few words and leave after I finish speaking." The old branch secretary hurriedly stopped Ye Lin.

When Ye Lin left, he said casually, saying that if there were any difficulties, he could go to the city to find him. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, the old branch secretary wouldn't come over no matter what.

"Okay, let's go to the alley to talk."

"good."

Before leaving, Ye Lin turned around and said to Liu Wei who was standing behind, "Liu Wei, go back and tell my mother, and you say it's an acquaintance who is looking for me, and I'll come back later when I go out."

"Oh, OK."

After Liu Wei entered, Ye Lin followed the old branch secretary to the entrance of the alley, and Uncle Da Kui drove the carriage behind him.

After arriving at the entrance of the alley, Ye Lin stopped and waited for Uncle Dakui to come over and asked, "Old Secretary, Uncle Dakui, you haven't eaten yet, are you? I'll take you some food first."

"No, no, we are not hungry." The old branch secretary waved his hand and refused.

It's just noon, which means that it's just after dinner. The old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui came from so far away and definitely didn't eat. How could they not be hungry? It's just modesty to say that they are not hungry.

The old secretary said he was not hungry, but his stomach betrayed him. As soon as he said he was not hungry, his stomach started to ring. He didn't expect to be hungry just now, and after that, his stomach started to scream.

Ye Lin shook his head and said to Uncle Dakui: "Uncle Dakui, find a place to tie the horse up and let's have a meal here." Ye Lin pointed to the small restaurant next to him.

"Ah! It's really...it's really delicious!"

"Uncle Da Kui, seeing what you said, of course you really eat." Ye Lin walked towards the small restaurant after saying that.

The old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui looked at each other and followed Ye Lin, but Uncle Da Kui was going to tie the horse up, so the old branch secretary was actually following Ye Lin.

After entering the small restaurant, Ye Lin asked the waiter: "Auntie, are there any food left?"

"Yes, it's time to eat now, how can I not eat?"

"Those, give us two meat dishes, one egg soup, and another pound of steamed buns."

“Good.”

"Wait...wait a moment."

Just as the waiter and aunt was about to go in to report the food, the old branch secretary called her.

"What else do you want?"

"No...no, let's discuss it first."

After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he pulled Ye Lin aside and said, "Ye Lin, what kind of meat and vegetables do you want? Just eat some casually."

"Old Party Secretary, listen to me when you get here."

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned around and said to the waiter aunt, "Auntie, we just want those. You can go and do it, hurry up and give it to us."

"good."

The old branch secretary wanted to stop him, but the waiter aunt had already gone in.

At this moment, Uncle Da Kui came in from outside, patted the snowflakes on his body, and looked at Ye Lin and the old branch secretary standing there, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Uncle Da Kui sits there."

"Oh, OK."

"Old Secretary, you can sit down too."

After the three of them sat down, Ye Lin looked at the old branch secretary, then looked at Uncle Dakui, and said, "Old Secretary, Uncle Dakui, say, what's wrong with you coming to find me?"

"Oh!" Hearing Ye Lin's question, the old branch secretary sighed and said, "Ye Lin, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, we wouldn't come to you."

"Old Secretary, don't sigh! What's the matter?"

"Ye Lin, the village can't get rid of the blame."

"Ah! No, I can't get rid of the blame just now?"

During the holiday, Ye Lin went to their village, but the village planted a lot of food. According to Ye Lin's idea, even if he was not full, he would not be hungry. How could he not be able to get out of the way at this time?

"Ye Lin, I don't need to lie to you. Yes, the village collected a lot of food in autumn, but most of it was used to pay public food, and there was really not much left."

"Bang!" Ye Lin slapped his forehead, why did he forget this?

Not to mention the exaggeration, public grain was required in this era. Ye Lin lived in the 21st century in his previous life. In the 21st century, farmers not only did not need to pay public grain, but the state also compensated farmers.

"Sorry, old secretary, I forgot to pay the public grain."

"This is normal. It would be good for your children in the city to know about public food."

The old branch secretary was right. The children in the city really didn’t know what the public grain was. Only Ye Lin, a guy from the 21st century, knew something. Of course, he also knew it online, not very clear.

"Old Secretary, is there no food at all?"

"It's gone. If winter is not coming, the situation is better. You can find some barley in the mountains, such as wild vegetables, but after winter, the mountains are closed with heavy snow, and even if you want to find something to eat, there will be no more food." The old branch secretary shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yes Ye Lin, everyone was hungry two days ago, so someone organized to go into the mountain to catch wild boars. Not only did the wild boars not be hit, but they also injured two people."

"That's it! That old secretary, how much food do you need to survive this winter?"

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui glanced at each other. The old branch secretary stretched out two fingers and said, "Two thousand kilograms of cornmeal, at least two thousand kilograms of cornmeal are needed to survive this winter."

"Two thousand jin?" Ye Lin frowned.

To be honest, the old branch secretary said that two thousand pounds are not much. Don’t forget that there are about 150 people in the entire village and two thousand pounds of cornmeal. The average person is more than 13 pounds.

After a winter, I guess this little food is not enough to drink porridge every day, and it is a very thin porridge. In the words of the older generation, it is enough to starve to death.

Seeing Ye Lin frowning, the old branch secretary misunderstood and thought Ye Lin did not have the ability. However, even though Ye Lin is rich, when will it be? Besides, Ye Lin is just a child.

He quickly said, "Ye Lin, there is no two thousand pounds, but one thousand pounds is fine. Of course, even if it is not one thousand pounds, there is nothing. Let's think of other ways."

"Old Secretary, you misunderstood. I was thinking about how two thousand pounds are enough."

"Ah! Ye... Ye Lin, you... are you saying that you have a way to get two thousand pounds?" The old branch secretary was so excited that he burst into tears. He couldn't help but cry. This was life-saving food.

Ye Lin must help this busy. Not to mention that the pigs raised by Ye Lin were bought from the old branch secretary, but the sweet potatoes they made were all taken from the old branch secretary's home.

In fact, even if you don’t have these, even if you know each other and find yourself, Ye Lin can’t help you.
