On the way back, no one spoke. Song Changdong and Gao Cheng were both preoccupied and didn't know what they were thinking.

Fang Yan didn't speak either, but his mind was still thinking about what the teacher said just now.

He has been here for a few days, and he has already learned that the conditions here are difficult. Song Changdong and the others farm the land by themselves, and even the main task of the day is farming, but the quality of the land here is not good, the seeds are not good, and the harvest is limited. , that part of the land, it is already difficult to feed this group of men who do manual labor every day, let alone afford the food for the students.

The central primary school is the only one nearby, so all the surrounding villages will send their children to the central primary school.Fang Yan also knew this kind of situation, he himself went to such a school for a while when he was a child.It is already very difficult to provide food for these students. It is not that Song Changdong and the others do not want to provide it, but they must provide it, because the conditions of these children’s families are not good, and there is no way to support them. The child may not even have enough to eat.

This is what no one wants to see.

It's just that the source of food is still a big problem. Although there are seeds that can greatly increase the yield, it will still take some time before the seeds grow and harvest. During this period, how to solve the food problem is also a difficult problem.

Fang Yan has only been here for a few days, and it would be troublesome to intervene in this problem. He just kept looking at Song Changdong, trying to hear some solution from him.

It's just that Song Changdong was silent for a long time. He kept the cigarette in his mouth, didn't smoke it, but didn't think of a solution.

After a long silence, Song Changdong asked, "Gao Cheng, how much grain do we have in stock? Can the crops last in the field?"

Gao Cheng thought for a while, made some calculations in his heart, and shook his head hesitantly.

"Brother Dong, maybe...maybe not very good."

Song Changdong took a deep puff of the cigarette, because the cigarette was not lit, and he did not inhale the familiar smell of tobacco.

Song Changdong cursed in a low voice, then turned around and asked, "Where is my lighter?"

Fang Yan quickly took out the lighter he had given earlier from his pocket, and handed it to him.

Song Changdong took it, lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and then spat it out long.The smoke was lingering and quickly dissipated in the surroundings. He stared at the midair for a long time, and then said: "Anyway, hand in the ones from the school first."

"Brother?!"

"I'm an adult, can't I bear it? You still have to fight for food with the child!?" Song Changdong patted his head and strode forward, leaving only half a sentence for him to lower his voice, followed by The wind came: "You don't need to worry about it, I'll think of a way..."

"Brother Dong, where are you going to find a solution?" Gao Cheng scratched his head.

Fang Yan couldn't help interjecting: "Can't we buy them all outside?"

"What you said is that there is no shortage of food outside, but we are short of money." Gao Cheng said helplessly: "Our wages are not high. In fact, we have hardly saved much money after all these years. You have also seen that here What do you buy for free? Stationery for students, textbooks for students, those are all bought by us, in fact, we have not even paid for tuition fees, and there is no appropriation from above, so we have nothing to do."

Not only the school, but even their own lives are very tight, let alone buy any food.

Fang Yan was silent for a while.

There is a lot of food in his space, but he can't take it out.

Fang Yan thought to himself, maybe he should go and mention it to Brother Gu.

Fang Yan didn't say this idea, but followed the crowd silently.

The three of them didn't forget the other thing that happened today. They drove to the town. When they arrived in the town, it was still dark, so the three of them started to inquire about the whereabouts of the seed expert.

Because no one has the photo of the expert, everyone can only give a vague general idea, only saying that they want to find an old man, there is no specific goal, and there are many old people in the town. They searched for a long time, but they couldn't find an expert. news.

Seeing that the sky was getting later and later, the sky was full of sunset, and the seed experts still had no news, and everyone began to become anxious.

Song Changdong looked at the time, frowned, and said, "Well, I'll go to the airport and ask, you two go back first."

"No, Brother Dong, we only have one car." Gao Cheng said anxiously: "We drove away the car, how do you come back?"

"I can't help it yet?" Song Changdong said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk anymore, I told you to go back, so you go back obediently, I'm going to the airport to ask for news, but I don't have time to chat with you here. Don't say anything, just take Fang Yan back."

"What about you, brother?"

"I don't know what time it is when I go back." Song Changdong glanced at the time again, and said, "That's it, I'll take the bus there, so I don't have to leave a meal for me at night."

"Okay, Brother Dong."

Gao Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but was held back by Song Changdong.

"Do you have any money with you? If so, give me some. I don't have anything with me."

Gao Cheng quickly took out his pocket, took out a few crumpled banknotes, and stuffed them all into his hands.

"Brother Dong, is this enough?"

"Enough." Song Changdong waved his hand: "Okay, get out."

Gao Cheng hurriedly took Fang Yan away.

On the way back, he was still worried, and he couldn't help worrying while driving.

"That seed expert doesn't know where he went. He's an old man, but it's better that nothing happens."

"No." Fang Yan said comfortingly: "Maybe I got lost, the road here is not easy to walk, if you didn't come to pick me up, I wouldn't be able to find it."

"It's strange to say that the expert has already arrived by plane tomorrow. Why has it been so long, and I still haven't waited for him to call." Gao Cheng wondered: "It should have been notified a long time ago, we It’s so remote, you can’t find it without calling.”

Fang Yan responded: "Yes, I was also notified at that time."

"Hey, speaking of it, it's been a long time since there have been so many people here. There are no experts. The last person who was stuffed here was a year ago." Gao Cheng sighed: "I don't know what's going on with you. It’s a good day, but it’s strange that you have to rush here, there’s nothing here, and you still have to run back after a short time.”

"..."

"But compared to those who came before you, you are already very good." Gao Cheng said: "When I first received the news, I thought I was just another young master, but I didn't expect you to be able to farm land." , really opened my eyes.”

"..."

Fang Yan thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong.
