Chapter 66 Chapter 12 The Third World

I thought) Ye Lai must have had a hard time in their (Egyptian) country mansion with no books to read.A comfortable chair, a good book in hand, sitting on the cool balcony, that is called freehand life.But a friend of mine reminded me: "You don't think that those big landowners in the country can come out and sit on the balcony after dinner, with a big lamp shining on their heads, and you don't think they won't get shot? "I never thought about that. —Russell Pasha (1949) Every time the conversation turns to the topic of mutual aid, when it comes to helping villagers with loans, everyone will lament at the same time, lamenting that the villagers are becoming less and less cooperative... While lamenting, it is inevitable to mention another kind of worldly decline The most common phenomenon is that people in the village are more and more concerned about money.So everyone spoke in unison, thinking about the "good old days" together: thinking back then, when the same village was in trouble, everyone was willing to help at any time.
