Chapter 1206 Self-reliance (2)
"That's great." Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "This method must have been thought up by big brother, right?"
"It was my eldest brother who came up with it." Xu Ziyang nodded. It was indeed Fang Chen who set it up.
At that time, they did not understand what kind of work such children could do, but seeing that they did not even dare to eat the food and could only eat the leftover food from the adults in small bites, they did not dare to change the rules and give them more.
In order to be fair and just, the rule is that one gets a certain amount of food based on how much work one does. No exception can be made just because they are young, as that would be unfair to those without children.
After the eldest brother gave the order, they assigned some light work to these little guys, such as running errands and moving some gravel. As long as they were useful, they would be given food.
The refugees saw that they could do their bit, although not much, but no one complained anymore. They got their food in a fair and honest way, and no one could say anything.
"It was Auntie who reminded me." Fang Chen walked to Auntie Ji's side. "It was she who reminded me to give all refugees a chance to build their own homes, so that they feel more involved, rather than receiving charity from us."
"A little bit of kindness can turn into a big grudge." Ji Xiaowu smiled and said slowly. "If we help them in times of crisis, they will indeed be grateful. But if we help them too much, they will become dependent on us and think that we will prepare everything for them. Once we stop helping them, they will be jealous and resentful. They will not work hard on their own, but will hate us for not continuing to help them."
"Sister-in-law is right!" Long Shiyu agreed. "Only when you get something with your own ability will people cherish it."
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your advice." Chu Qin's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ji Xiaomu with admiration.
"I totally agree with what you said, sister-in-law. Let them work with their own hands and get what they deserve. Only in this way will they cherish the results." Duan Yue also spoke.
"A lot of things must have happened, right?" Chen Wan'er found it a little unbelievable that so many refugees were managed so well.
"Fortunately, there are basically no problems." Tie Lao San said with a smile. "Because they are all supporters of Big Brother."
"Supporters?" It was Ji Xiaomu's turn to be confused.
Tie Lao San said with a proud smile. "Sister-in-law, you don't know that these refugees all came from the main city. Some of them recognized my brother. You should know that my brother was the god of war and mighty general in their hearts. Once the title of mighty general came out, they sincerely submitted."
Ji Xiaowu looked at Fang Chen and held his hand. "You have never been forgotten. They always remember you."
"Yeah." Fang Chen nodded and held Ji Xiao's hand. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get out."
The two smiled at each other.
Everyone looked at the two of them and smiled knowingly.
A dirty man carrying wood walked past Chu Qin. After seeing his face clearly, Chu Qin called out in surprise. "Husband!"
"Hmm?" Qin Wen turned around blankly and saw his beloved wife standing next to him. He was so scared that he dropped the wood in his hand. "Qin'er, aren't you at my sister-in-law's? Why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Chu Qin looked at Qin Wen and took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust off his face.
Qin Wen's eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to put his face into Chu Qin's hands. "I miss you, wife."
"I miss you, too." Chu Qin rarely argued with Qin Wen and wiped the dust off his face with heartache.
