Ganjar then asked, "Can you get money, ma'am?"

"Yes, Alhamdulilah, thank you for being helped, sir," replied the mother briefly.

"How much ma'am (nominal aid received)?" asked Ganjar again.

"600 rupiah, sir," replied the mother.

Ganjar seemed to smile with his mother's answer. Ganjar then asked again. "What are you going to use this for, ma'am?"

"Buy rice to make a living," replied the mother.

"Continuing to live buying rice?"

"Well, what can you do, sir," replied the mother.

"Do you have family at home?" ask Ganjar

"Staying at home with my son."

"What does his son do?" asked Ganjar again.

"Just a little work, sir," replied the mother briefly.

This is where the funny moment happened. While nodding his head, Ganjar mentioned that in Boyolali there was also a modest job.

The mother casually replied to Ganjar. "Oh, the Governor is funny." Of course, Ganjar, the participants and village officials at the location laughed at this confession.

"Yes, thank you, sir," said the mother.

Alhamdulillah. Hopefully your attitude can be another example. Everything is still difficult, but it would be better if the help that was not right on target was returned.
