Chapter 307 - 0307: Connecting Troops 1_1
Wang Zhengguo had already heard Guan Cheng’s detailed description of this matter on the way here.
As soon as they walked in the door, he complained, "Qingxue, you really know how to give me trouble! Our brigade’s land just sits there, the harvest is known year-round. The stipulated grain production has increased quite a lot these past few years, but yields have decreased. Every added person means an extra portion of food has to be allocated, today you foster one, tomorrow someone else gives you one, how can I ensure the villagers’ food security? Once this starts, it becomes a never-ending story, everyone would want to send their children over."
He couldn’t believe that a whole brigade couldn’t afford a child.
Which brigade doesn’t have children eating from many households? Wanglou Brigade also has several. You give a portion, I give a portion, the production team gives a little more food ration, scrape together and the child grows up. They will remember villagers’ kindness when they grow up.
It was clear that Song Laoshuan’s production brigade didn’t want to support Gangzi.
He and Feng Qingxue both thought Gangzi’s name was Gangzi, Gangzi and Gangzi may sound the same, but they carry different meanings.
Feng Qingxue bitterly laughed, she knew, that’s why she dares not to take in poor Gangzi, afraid that if word got out, today someone brings a child, tomorrow she would find another abandoned baby at her doorstep.
In the countryside, there are many abandoned infants, many are drowned alive immediately after birth because they are not wanted.
Of course, those drowned are all female infants.
