Chapter 318 Raising Food
After two days of snow in a row, I stepped on it, directly covering my calf.

During this period, Bai Anyan was afraid that the heavy snow would collapse the shack, so he used a ladder to clean the roof twice.

Baiyunxi sat in front of the charcoal basin, warming his hands while thinking about what to do next, then tilted his head and looked at the resting girl in the room, and when the snow stopped, he would settle the matter of the Liu family first.

Two snowfalls in a row collapsed the houses of several families in the village.

Naturally, all the old houses that collapsed were old houses that had been in disrepair for a long time, but fortunately no one was killed. One of them was a member of the Bai clan, Bai Zhengde's family.

Bai Zhengde himself was hit by the adobe and his calf was broken.

When the news was sent to the patriarch, Bai Yunsong immediately organized the young people of the clan to go to the rescue, cleaned up the collapsed house by the way, and then settled the clan members into the spare classrooms in the ancestral hall.

Of course, as a strong labor force, Bai Anyan also went to help, and he came back after working for a long time.

After returning to the house and changing out of half-wet clothes, I described the situation of Bai Zhengde's family to everyone, and then I couldn't help shaking my head.

"Uncle Zhengde's family was too careless. They didn't repair the house before winter, and they didn't clear the snow on the roof in time after it snowed. After the house collapsed, there was no way to live in the house."

"The patriarch arranged them all to live in the ancestral hall temporarily, and Doctor Yang went to treat his injured leg. After we helped clean up the house, we found out that their food had bottomed out. Uncle Tang was organizing people to donate food. I It seems that everyone is not very interested."

It took a little effort for everyone to help, and no one cared about it, but when they heard about the food donation, everyone was unhappy.

In severe winter, no one has enough food for the winter, and there is no surplus food for others.

What's more, Uncle Zhengde's family is famous for being lazy in the village. Otherwise, there are so many houses in the village, why would their house collapse?

Listening to his son's tone, Bai Yunxi shook his head helplessly.

"Everyone's life is hard these days. If you try to help, no one will say anything. Once you take food out from home, it's not surprising to have complaints."

If Bai Yunsong insisted on asking everyone to help, there would definitely be complaints.

"Uncle Tang has already announced that each family will share two liters of brown rice or coarse grains, and will send people to collect them at the door later. I don't think the clansmen are very happy, and they can't even help clean up the collapsed house. It's so simple. Pack it up and let it go."

Forcible collection is more likely to provoke public anger, and I don't know if my cousin has discussed it with his uncle?
Like Bai Zhengde's family, they need to rely on their clan members for relief every winter, and they seem to have formed a habit.

Meeting such a person is quite disturbing.

Bai Yunsong just took the position of patriarch. Without his uncle to come forward to control the place, it's hard to say whether the clan will buy him or not.

Besides, apart from the clansmen, there are also other disaster-stricken villagers in the village who need everyone's relief. If this matter is done well, the reputation will increase a lot, and if it is done poorly, the reputation will plummet.

Bai Yunxi shook his head, and ordered Mrs. Du to prepare two liters of coarse grains.

"Everyone in the village knows about our family's situation. We can neither ignore it nor complain, just go with the flow."

"Hey, I'm going to prepare it now."

Sure enough, when it was dusk, the village became lively, but most of the noises were complaints.

"Patriarch, why do you ask us to provide food to help them? My family's food is not enough."
