Chapter 403 [Good intentions can't do bad things]
The first meal upon entering the city is free.
However, this meal has special requirements.
I saw the little official speak again, instructing everyone in a very solemn tone: "Since today is your first day in the city, you are not allowed to eat too much for the first meal. For example, strong men, for example, can only eat at most
When eating a bowl of meat, women and the elderly can only eat half a bowl each. As for underage children, meat is not allowed for the time being..."
The people in the courtyard were suddenly startled. A woman looked slightly sad and asked anxiously: "Is it because we are poor? In fact, we don't want to be freeloaders!"
There was another woman next to her, her tone was vaguely sad, and she said with a sad face: "Can some officials be accommodating and let the children eat some meat? We mothers can eat less, and we can even endure it."
I won’t eat if I’m hungry, but please raise your hands and allow the children to eat a bowl of meat.”
Unexpectedly, even though she begged repeatedly, the clerk's face remained solemn, and he slowly shook his head and said, "No, this is the rule."
All the women present bowed their heads sadly.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Tianya, who had been silent, walked over. He sighed softly, nodded to the little official who was speaking, and then said: "This rule is right, and you have a good intention.
Yes, but you only focused on stating the rules and neglected to explain the reasons. In this way, good intentions turned out to be bad things."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "They should be able to understand this rule!"
Gu Tianya shook his head slightly and said in a kind tone: "You are wrong, they may not understand. There are thousands of people in the world, and everyone's cognitive ability is different. For example, some people may not be able to understand the regulations you just mentioned.
Just listen and understand. But there must be some people who don’t understand. At this time, you should explain it clearly to them..."
The little official was thoughtful and solemnly said: "That's the truth."
Gu Tianya was very pleased and nodded again to the young official.
He slowly turned around, looked at the people present, and said with a smile: "I hope everyone can understand the regulations that the official just mentioned. In fact, he did not deliberately want to make things difficult for everyone, but the soup kitchen director has been making things difficult for a long time.
Summarized experience. In the past, there were refugees who had been hungry for too long. After getting the food, they ate so hard that they almost died from starvation. As a result, the entire soup kitchen was punished..."
Gu Tianya paused while speaking, and continued in a very sincere tone: "So, Soup Kitchen has made a rule since then. All refugees who enter the city on the first day are not allowed to eat more than the first meal.
Even if the people feel they are not full, the soup kitchen will never give out more food."
With such an explanation, the misunderstanding disappeared immediately.
The migrating people nodded one after another and said repeatedly: "It should be like this, it has to be like this. Although we don't understand the general principles, we can understand the principles you said."
Gu Tianya smiled gently, and his eyes fell on the children. He gently touched the forehead of a little baby with his hand, and said softly: "Especially you little guys, you must not eat meat for the first meal, because meat
If it is too greasy, and you have had too few opportunities to eat meat in the past, your intestines and stomach will not be able to adapt to meat, and eating it will easily cause indigestion."
The children raised their heads pitifully and said timidly: "But, we want to eat meat."
Gu Tianya smiled gently again and continued to say softly: "It's not that you are not allowed to eat meat. I will definitely give you meat in the future. But it is definitely not possible at the beginning. You must let your stomach and intestines adapt first."
He paused slightly as he spoke, rubbed the little guy's face with his hands, and then said: "For example, for today's first meal, you drink some broth first, so that you can taste the aroma of the big pot of stewed meat, and also
It can avoid the discomfort of sudden contact with meat. Once the stomach and intestines slowly get used to it, there will be no danger in eating meat again."
"But, but..." The children still raised their heads pitifully and said worriedly: "But we are very poor, and our mother cannot afford meat."
It turns out that this is what worries the children.
They think only the first meal is free.
Gu Tianya laughed and turned to look at the clerk just now.
As expected of a well-connected family member, the clerk immediately understood how he should cooperate, and quickly explained loudly: "Fellow folks, don't worry, our soup kitchen will always be open. As long as your refugee status has not been lifted, then your daily
All meals will be provided here..."
The children cheered and gathered around him, asking happily: "Can I really come to eat every day?"
The clerk nodded hurriedly and promised loudly: "You can come and eat every day."
The children felt at ease and jumped for joy again and again.
…
The small misunderstanding over the first meal was resolved in a few words.
At this time, I saw the hesitation on the face of the young official, whose expression was clearly full of expectation. He looked at everyone eagerly, and suddenly asked with eagerness: "Fellow folks, how are you eating?"
The people who were eating quickly looked up.
I saw the clerk trying to make his smile more kind, and explained with a gentle face: "It's like this, our soup kitchen company needs everyone to do a favor. First of all, you need to come up with your own documents for entering the city, and our soup kitchen company will
The chief officer stamps the documents. Only by stamping your documents can we show that our Soup Kitchen Department has received everyone..."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "Secondly, our Soup Kitchen Company will also come up with a document. However, this document will not be sealed by our chief officer. Instead, everyone needs to be present.
There is a thumbprint on the document, and if you are willing to write one or two words of praise, it will be a great help."
The people were confused and subconsciously turned to look at Tianya.
However, this time Gu Tianya did not explain to them. He just smiled slightly and said: "This is their achievement. Please try your best to cooperate. If you feel that these officials are very good, you can praise them in the document."
"But we can't write!"
Gu Tianya laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't write, they can all write. So everyone just needs to say what they want to say, and they will take care of all the rest..."
At this time, a petty official came hurriedly, holding a brand new booklet in his hand. Then he saw all the petty officials gathered around, looking eagerly at the people in the courtyard.
It was an extremely longing look.
A government official stood up first and asked cautiously: "Although I am not a migrant, I also had a free meal here, so I want to ask if I can also say a few words of gratitude.
?”
The group of small officials were extremely surprised and said quickly: "Okay, okay, but it doesn't matter."
The yamen servant felt confident, so he spoke sincerely, saying: "I, Sun San, the yamen servant of Jeju Prefecture in Shandong Province, I had a meal at the Soup Porridge Department in Youzhou today, and I think the officials at the Soup Porridge Department are very good. I
I am uneducated and cannot speak nice words, but I want to say from the bottom of my heart that the officials in the soup kitchen department are all good officials."
The group of clerks were even more surprised, and one of them opened the booklet and started writing.
With the beginning of the government officials, the common people gradually joined in. A woman looked shy and said in a low voice: "The officials of the soup kitchen department are very good!"
She was obviously a clumsy woman, and after thinking for a long time she could only think of such a compliment. However, the clerks were extremely happy and quickly recorded her compliment.
Slowly, every citizen stood up and said a word or two, and the brand-new booklet was gradually filled with countless simple words.
Finally, the entire booklet was filled.
The people's first meal after entering the city finally came to an end.
The soup kitchen driver's duty was to provide free meals, but there was no place for the people to stay after the meal, so the team hit the road again and moved on to the next goal.
This group of people did not know that when they left, all the clerks let out a sigh of relief. The clerks stood at the door of the soup kitchen, watching the team go away, and suddenly heard someone speaking softly with emotion.
He said: "This migration team is really happy. It is actually managed by the two supreme beings..."
With emotion, he clenched the booklet in his hand.
He turned to look at his colleagues, his voice became obviously excited, and he said: "Guess, everyone, how many points can we get this time?"
All the petty officials immediately became excited.
…
The migration team arrived at a new courtyard again.
This time, the people had already experienced it and gathered around Gu Tianya to wait for his instructions. However, Gu Tianya was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not explain anything this time.
Instead, he smiled and pointed at the courtyard in front of him, beckoning the people to go in and handle certain matters themselves.
The group of people hesitated a little at first, but then someone plucked up the courage to take the lead, so everyone walked into the courtyard together, and soon understood why Gu Tianya didn't show any intention of helping.
But it turns out that there are many service counters in this courtyard, and each counter requires people to go to it in person to handle government affairs. Others are not allowed to do it for them, and even two people are not allowed to stand in front of the same counter at the same time.
After an official's explanation, the people finally understood why this was the case. It was only because the government affairs handled here involved financial subsidies, so there were restrictions.
The first meal upon entering the city is free.
However, this meal has special requirements.
I saw the little official speak again, instructing everyone in a very solemn tone: "Since today is your first day in the city, you are not allowed to eat too much for the first meal. For example, strong men, for example, can only eat at most
When eating a bowl of meat, women and the elderly can only eat half a bowl each. As for underage children, meat is not allowed for the time being..."
The children cheered and gathered around him, asking happily: "Can I really come to eat every day?"
The clerk nodded hurriedly and promised loudly: "You can come and eat every day."
The children felt at ease and jumped for joy again and again.
