But in slums, such small houses are only used by a family.
Of course, for a family of three or even four, using a house with such a small area will be very crowded.
But even so, it is already much better than the house they lived in before!
After the construction of the houses is completed, they will be rented to the poor on a monthly basis. After five years of renting, the houses they are renting can be bought at a price lower than the market price.
Such a policy is simply good news to the poor living in slums.
And now, the poor people also know that Lin Xiao collected donations for them, so Lin Xiao's reputation in the slums has never been higher.
At this moment, Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng had just arrived in the slum area and were immediately surrounded by a large group of poor people.
"Thank you, Commander Lin, for saving us all!" an old lady in her sixties said with tears of gratitude.
"Commander Lin, you are a saint and a great good man!"
"It's great that our slums can meet a savior like you!"
All kinds of words of thanks came from all directions and went straight into Lin Xiao's ears.
Lin Xiao was at a loss for a while.
Although he had received similar welcomes before, such as when he was commended for winning a battle, none could compare with this.
Lin Xiao could tell that these people in front of him were thanking him from the bottom of their hearts.
In order to say a few words of thanks, they didn't even bother to receive the distributed food. This shows that they really mean it.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand how you feel. Please rest assured that as long as I, Lin Xiao, am still in Dorado, I will definitely let everyone live a good life! Of course, I can't make you all become
Rich man, but I promise that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing, and you won’t have to worry about being able to afford medical treatment. I will let your children have money to go to school and your parents will have something to rely on in old age.”
Lin Xiao's words immediately resonated with everyone present.
Many elderly people even knelt down to Lin Xiao and kowtowed to thank him. Lin Xiao quickly helped the old man and lady kneeling in front of him, but someone else immediately knelt down.
After a while, Lin Xiao finally calmed down their emotions and allowed them to continue queuing up to receive the distributed food.
At this moment, a crisp girl's voice suddenly came.
"Commander Lin, it's you! You're finally here!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng turned their heads together, and then saw a girl with a pure face and a childish look on her body.
This girl is none other than Li Xiaoyun.
Li Xiaoyun also carried a basket on his arm, which seemed to contain wild vegetables.
Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng walked forward, and Li Xiaoyun also came over happily carrying a basket.
"Commander Lin, I knew you would come again!" Li Xiaoyun said excitedly, her pretty cheeks turning red.
Lin Xiao nodded, then pointed to the basket on Li Xiaoyun's arm and asked, "Is this the wild vegetable you picked?"
"Well, this is a wild vegetable that is a specialty of our Dorado, called Shashaqi. This kind of wild vegetable has a very special taste. Do you want to try it?"
Li Xiaoyun said as if offering a treasure.
"Well, let me try it."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he pinched a stick of salsa and put it in his mouth, and his mouth was filled with a bitter taste.
Do the poor people in the slums eat these bitter wild vegetables all day long?
This is too difficult.
But I heard Li Xiaoyun say in surprise: "Commander Lin, what I mean is that you come with me to my house, and I will make Shashaqi dumplings for you to eat. These wild vegetables must be cooked before they can be eaten, and they cannot be eaten raw!"
Lin Xiao's expression became a little strange.
Yuan Zheng on the side seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare.
"Isn't it appropriate for me to go to your house? Does your family have enough food?" Lin Xiao asked.
Li Xiaoyun said happily: "It's enough to eat! It's definitely enough to eat! Our family has a lot of food, and we can't finish it in a while."
"How come your family has so much food?"
Lin Xiao asked doubtfully.
Most of the poor people now have no source of livelihood after factories and companies have closed down for reorganization, so they probably won't have enough food.
Li Xiaoyun said with a little embarrassment: "It was not because my father was sick before, but because he was worried that he would starve after the family ran out of money, so my father asked my mother to buy some grain in advance and store it at home. Dehydrated wheat
It can be stored for several years, so my mother bought some more. Moreover, my father has not been able to work for a long time because of his injury. Now that the factory and company are closed, it has no impact on our family. The city lord opened the granary again,
If we distribute food for free, our family will of course not have to worry about anything."
"I see"
Lin Xiao did not hesitate and came to Li Xiaoyun's home with Yuan Zheng.
Li Xiaoyun's home is now tidy, which is very different from last time.
The arrival of Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng surprised Li Feilong and his wife. They thanked each other for a long time before finally calming down.
"Go and take out the cabbage and pickles from the cellar!"
Xiaoyun's mother said to Xiaoyun quickly.
Xiaoyun nodded and was about to go to the cellar, but Lin Xiao stopped him.
"Don't be extravagant and wasteful just because we're here. Just eat as you usually do." Lin Xiao said to Xiaoyun's mother.
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
Xiaoyun's mother was very ashamed and kept rubbing her hands.
"I didn't come here just to eat."
Lin Xiao smiled.
Xiaoyun's mother had no choice, so she only used the wild vegetables picked by Xiaoyun to cook.
In about an hour, Xiaoyun's mother prepared dinner - indeed it was dumplings made of wild vegetables called Shasaqi.
The flour of Xiaoyun's family is probably ground from wheat in a workshop in a slum area, so it is very rough, so the dumpling wrappers are not tender enough, and the wild vegetable called Shashaqi has a very average taste even if it is cooked.
However, neither Lin Xiao nor Yuan Zheng would mind.
When the two of them were fighting, they often encountered food shortages due to the war. In that case, they ate everything, bark, grass roots, and even earthworms and mice dug out of the ground.
Compared with those things, the bowl of dumplings made with salsa and wild vegetables in my hand is already very, very good.
While eating, Lin Xiao said: "Li Feilong, how is your injury? It should be almost healed, right?"
It has been nearly a week since Lin Xiao performed amputation surgery on Li Feilong.
The wound on Li Feilong's arm has basically healed, but he should not exercise strenuously to avoid the incompletely healed wound from rupturing.
