MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 154
There were a few more people in the yard, and it suddenly felt a lot more lively. They had greeted the girl next door in the group before, so when the Cai family was active in the yard at night, Sun Sisi and the others took a peek upstairs. After a while, when I saw that the family was dragging the family, there was an old woman in her 70s and 80s, and a three-year-old child at her bottom, and she felt relieved.
Although the person with the family is not necessarily a good person, the possibility of being a bad person is always smaller, but those big boys can let people in, so it should be no problem.
Many boys in their twenties haven't woken up yet, they are naive and naive, but the few in their yard, I don't know if they all had incomplete childhoods, so they are extra mature and able to take care of things, which makes people quite happy A sense of security, so the new Cai family, they just took a look and recognized their faces, and then they didn't pay attention.
On the contrary, Cai Wentao, when playing cards with Song Jia and the others, was eager to invite them to invite the girl next door. Song Jia looked at Cai Wentao like this, and immediately thought of his roommate from college, who also wanted to move forward when he saw a beautiful girl. According to their words, this is the period when male hormones surge, and it is an instinctive behavior of their courtship age.
It was at this time that Song Jia's comparative feelings would be particularly strong, because when she was with Mu Nan and Jian Chu, none of them put their minds on girls!
Seeing Song Jia sighed suddenly, Cai Wentao asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Song Jia looked at Cai Wentao and said sincerely, "Thank you for making me feel the happiness of a straight man again."
Cai Wentao: "???"
In the end, only Sun Sisi and Tu Juan were willing to come and play with them. Yang Jing was obsessed with his career and had no intention of being a man. Sun Sisi was only willing to come here because he wanted to see if Cai Wentao was handsome, and then found out that the appearance level of their yard might be based on that of ordinary men. Looking at Cai Wentao, whose facial features are well-rounded, he feels that he is just not ugly.
Sun Sisi couldn't help complaining to Tu Juan in a low voice: "If I live in this yard, I don't think I'll be able to find a man in the future."
They randomly pulled one out of this small courtyard, no matter in terms of appearance or ability to survive in this dangerous environment, they were all quite good, and her vision was high, which made her find a random man to marry.
Tu Juan touched Sun Sisi's head: "Don't think about men, why do you think about men, make trouble, I will get you two small toys in the future, don't you want to be happy?"
Sun Sisi, who understood in seconds, was shocked: "Is this something I can hear without paying for it!"
Tu Juan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Don't want it?"
Hesitating and struggling for a second between shame and excitement, Sun Sisi blushed slightly and said, "Yes!"
They were whispering here, and Cai Wentao was also whispering to Song Jia: "That girl with a round face, what's her personality? She looks cute when she smiles."
Song Jia squinted at him: "I think you can stop thinking about it."
Cai Wentao understood instantly: "Your? If that's the case, it's okay. I just think she's cuter. The other one is cool, but I can't handle it."
Song Jia said: "Don't get me wrong, I just think that Sun Sisi's face control may... have a higher vision?"
Cai Wentao was immediately upset when he heard this, thinking back then, he was also a junior, okay?
Song Jia said slowly: "Surrounded by handsome men like Yu Zibai at the beginning of Mu Nan Qinhuai Jianchu, what do you think?"
Cai Wentao felt that he had been personally attacked, but he had no substantive evidence.
Mu Nan is not a person who likes to socialize. He doesn't like the excitement to be concentrated on himself, but he likes to watch other people's excitement. This probably has something to do with his living environment since he was a child.
As long as he can remember, he lived in a high-rise building, but because he knew the old neighbors and moved here, most of them were old acquaintances of his parents, and some were even related for three generations. , not at all the indifference of the high-rise buildings later.
He still remembers that when he was a child, he bought a home theater at home, with good sound equipment and a large TV screen. The aunts who had a good relationship with his mother would gather at his house to watch DVDs. The lengthy Korean dramas had hundreds of episodes at a time, and he just stayed there. At Qin Huai's house, he guards the Little Shenlong Club at six o'clock every day.
And every time there is a football game, a group of uncles with loud voices will gather at his house to drink and watch the game. When watching football, his dad would buy a few catties of shrimp and let him eat shrimp and watch cartoons by himself in the room over at Qinhuai.
A small bench, cartoons on the TV, Qin Huai doing his homework on the coffee table behind him, and the lively people coming and going in his house are his childhood.
Lively is his living environment since he was a child, and not being social is the life pattern he has been accustomed to for a long time after Qin Huai left. The two are not contradictory at all.
Therefore, there is a lively Cai family in the yard. Although he will not take the initiative to get in touch with the excitement, he is actually very happy to be in it. Sometimes when he is locked in the room and watching a movie, he can hear Aunt Yin calling Xiaozhu , yelling at his son, ordering his daughter's voice, there will be a kind of peace of life that is more smoky.
Although the environment outside this small courtyard is suffering from extremely harsh changes.
Qin Huai walked over, put his arms around Mu Nan who was lying on the bay window holding a huge doll and looked at the excitement downstairs, and said with a smile, "Do you want to go down and play?"
Downstairs, Xiaozhu Song Jia and Cai Wentao are playing with water guns. The water guns were found in a toy store in the business district before. At that time, they thought that they would sell these things for a few cents in the future when they have nothing to do. It's also money, but I forgot about it later. Fortunately, these things are not afraid of being soaked in water, so they can still come out to play now.
Mu Nan shook his head: "No, just take a look upstairs, Song Jia is happy, so many people play with him every day."
Qin Huai smiled, Mu Nan turned to look at him: "How is Qing He?"
Qin Huai said: "The fire is still burning."
Mu Nan was shocked: "It's still burning, what day is it? The fifth day or the sixth day? Can the fire last for so long?"
Qin Huai: "The main reason is that the mountain wind is strong, and it burns from the residential area to the city center. There are still some ruins in the city center that have not been cleaned up, and it burns along the mountains behind to another residential area, but because I received the news in advance , so the barriers have already begun to be dug out, but the area where the Cai family and the others live is estimated to be completely bulldozed and rebuilt."
"Has everyone moved out?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "There is no statistics yet. It was very chaotic at that time. Some of them ran to the avenue with the crowd. If they could meet on the road, the rescue team transferred them here, but some of them ran to the city. Go to other residential areas, the urban area is very chaotic, and the roads piled up in some places are impassable, and large vehicles such as military trucks cannot pass at all. I am afraid that we will not know the specific casualties until the fire is extinguished."
Mu Nan sighed: "I sent a message to Qin Bing, but he may have participated in the rescue and did not reply to me. This mountain fire rescue must be very dangerous. I said before that I hope to train well when I return to the base. The big move came out, but it didn't take long before the big troops were dispatched again."
When the two were talking upstairs, Sun Sisi and Cai Wenwen also joined the water gun team downstairs, so they started the male-female confrontation mode. Xiaozhu said that he was a little man and wanted to protect his aunt, and then his uncle called him a little traitor. Run around the yard.
Although they are playing with water guns, it is not a waste of water. They would fetch some water to clean the yard every few days. There are many people who are sick outside. It is necessary to keep the environment clean and tidy. It is not yet the time when water is scarce. The degree of thirst to death, at least on their side, is not so extreme, so it is natural to clean up the place where they live if they have the conditions.
So the water that was originally used to clean the yard was washed by them while playing.
Watching them play for several rounds, each of them panting and exhausted, and under the watchful eyes of Aunt Yin, they had to use a mop to mop up the entire small courtyard that was later re-paved with cement, not even leaving a corner, Mu Nan just got down from the bay window, went to the sofa comfortably, adjusted the projector and started watching a movie.
So what's so fun about water guns? Play for three minutes and work for two hours.
The fire in Qinghe still had a great impact. One was to pump groundwater to put out the fire, and the other was the people who escaped, which caused the population of Kang Yun to increase dramatically, and the consumption of materials also increased.
A lot of people came here without any belongings, and they needed the assistance of the government here to eat and drink. A little water every day and the grain cakes that Mu Nan and the others received in the cave before, no more.
Now the people resettled from Qinghe are all in the isolation point in the eastern suburbs. If there are people who know here and are willing to take in, they only need to register and leave the address and phone number of the takers and then they can leave. Last time the Cai family The registration has been done, but now Qin Huai drove the Cai family to the eastern suburbs again, mainly to ask Qinghe people like them who don't live in the isolation point, how to receive assistance.
This person left the resettlement site, so he couldn't drive here every day just to get a sip of water and a grain cake. The gasoline consumption alone is more than the value of such a little thing.
It is estimated that there are quite a few people who left the resettlement site, and many of them have local friends in Kangyun, so the above has issued a policy specifically for this part of the Qinghe people.
As long as you have a note from the person in charge of the resettlement site, you can go to the material center to buy a week's rations at once.
There were eight people in Cai's family, and Guo Hui was also registered in Cai's family at that time, so Uncle Cai could buy enough rations for eight people for a week with the opened note. As for other free subsidies, there is no such thing as the existing conditions, and the higher authorities will only help those who would die of hunger and thirst without subsidies.
Uncle Cai is also satisfied with this, at least he can buy food, and now even local people in Kangyun have a limited amount of food to buy, as long as it is imported, the price in the market will be doubled, they would have People who are not very wealthy can't afford such a large expenditure for a long time, so it is better to be able to buy it at a normal price on the official platform than double the expenditure.
The amount of rations for eight people a week is not small. Uncle Cai bought rice and noodles, and some millet flour. The price of different things is different. You can buy five catties of rice, if you buy millet and corn, you can buy six to seven catties, but these things cannot be used as staple food for a long time, so it is appropriate to mix them. When cooking rice, mix some millet and corn in it, which can reduce the Rice grain consumption.
In addition, there is some amount of oil and salt, but the amount is not large. The oil may even be a catty, and it needs to be measured in drops, but there is no food now. The harvest is finished, but now I don't even see a potato skin, so I can only pour a little oil or soy sauce salt into the rice to supplement some of the human body's needs.
Qin Huai helped Uncle Cai carry the things he bought into the car. On the way back, Uncle Cai also asked Qin Huai to walk around some construction sites. Qinghe suffered heavy losses and the residential area was burnt down. It would be no problem to stay in Kangyun when we go back, so Uncle Cai has already applied for a house rental, but it may take a few months until the resettlement is approved. In the next few days You also need to eat and drink, and finding a job is a must.
After being taken by Qin Huai to get acquainted with the surrounding environment, Uncle Cai sighed, "I didn't expect that I would have to work hard when I was old."
Qin Huai said: "You can ask if there is any need for people in the community. Aunt Yin has done this before. If you have experience, you should be better employed."
Uncle Cai just smiled and said to give it a try, but he didn’t think he would have this opportunity. Before he was able to be a market manager in Qinghe, it was his old leader who helped him find a way. This kind of position is not to mention very important. , but at least it is a place that is more comfortable than moving bricks as a worker, without acquaintances or excellent conditions, it is unnecessary to even think about it.
It is even more difficult to join the neighborhood committee, and it is even more impossible to rely on them who have taken refuge from outside.
But I still have to try it, in case I get this **** luck.
Seeing a construction site here that seems to have posted a job recruitment information, Uncle Cai asked Qin Huai to stop the car for a while. He planned to go and take a look. First, he took a picture of the job recruitment notice and learned about the salary and benefits. Besides, they don't have any special skills. Yes, if you want to find a job with temporary income, you can only do hard work.
A lot of things like steel bars were piled up at the gate of the construction site, and the vehicles couldn't drive past, so they had to stop far away and then walked in. Qin Huai walked in with Uncle Cai, and pointed out some parking spots for vehicles. There happens to be a bus that stops at the small square in the second district, so if you want to work here, the transportation is very convenient.
When Uncle Cai went to take pictures of the recruitment information, a slightly familiar voice sounded beside him. Qin Huai turned his head and saw Shu Bin who seemed to be surprised to see him here.
Shu Bin is also a programmer. He was the first to join the information department. His ability is not outstanding, but it may be due to his personality. He is very stable in his work. When Qin Huai resigned, Shu Bin was still working in the information department, because he was very stable , At that time, there were signs of being promoted to group leader.
But now this Shu Bin is dressed like a worker, with a sweaty towel stuffed around his neck, his clothes are so dirty that he can't see the original color, and there are black sweat marks on his body, he looks like a programmer no matter what. Can't think of it together.
Seeing him like this, although Qin Huai didn't show much expression, he still couldn't help being puzzled: "Why are you here?"
Shu Bin smiled, seemed a little embarrassed, but still said honestly: "I'm working here now, um... something unexpected happened, brother Qin, where are you?"
Qin Huai said: "I have a friend of Qing He who is going to find a part-time job first."
Qinghe's current situation should be known to everyone in Kang Yun, so when Qin Huai said this, Shu Bin instantly understood that he was really surprised to see Qin Huai here. Never see you again.
Although the two have been working together for a long time, Shu Bin is not as outgoing as Zhou Chuanghong. Even now, Zhou Chuanghong still occasionally sends messages to him and asks him for help when he encounters problems. I haven't spoken much to Shu Bin, so naturally I have nothing to say when I meet him now.
As for how things are going, there is no need to ask. A programmer, who can sit in an office and type on a computer, is now working **** a construction site.
So Qin Huai said goodbye to Shu Bin after seeing that Uncle Cai had finished taking pictures of the recruitment information and questioning a worker who didn't know whether he had just started work or had a break.
Unexpectedly, Shu Bin asked inexplicably and abruptly: "Brother Qin, are you and your lover okay now?"
Qin Huai frowned slightly, slightly puzzled, but still said: "It's pretty good, what's the matter?"
Shu Bin smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I just feel that I am really lucky to meet the right person."
After Shu Bin finished speaking, he waved to Qin Huai and said goodbye. He didn't know why he asked such a question, but he asked out of curiosity. Answer, gave a blessing, turned and left.
Qin Huai sent Zhou Chuanghong a message, saying that he saw Shu Bin at the construction site, and asked what was going on.
Along the way, Qin Huai's cell phone kept sending messages. Zhou Chuanghong was telling him the cause and effect, but he couldn't read it while driving. After he parked the car in the garage, he took the phone to read it.
As soon as Qin Huai entered the room, Mu Nan, who was lying on the sofa reading a novel, raised his head and looked at him: "How is it? Can the residents of Qinghe receive supplies for free?"
Qin Huai said: "No, but you can buy a week's rations per person. I took Uncle Cai to buy it just now. When I came back, I checked the recruitment at the construction site. They probably mean that they are going to find a job first to earn some money. , and plan the rest slowly."
Mu Nan snorted, and seeing that Qin Huai seemed to be replying someone with his mobile phone, he asked, "Who is it? Is Wang Xiaoli looking for you?"
Qin Huai smiled, put the phone on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, took two sips of Mu Nan's unfinished half cup of drink: "I met my former colleague today, and I saw that he is working at the construction site, so I asked Ask about the situation."
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai suspiciously: "A former colleague? Was it a long time ago, or a later time?"
Qin Huai smiled and said, "I worked in the Information Department before, not before the end of the world."
Mu Nan let out a sigh, and said, Qin Huai didn't start a company here before, so it's unlikely that he would meet his colleagues before the end of the world, so he asked curiously: "Then the information department should be a programmer, why are you working at the construction site?" I’ve gone, now the construction site still needs to be programmed to make a construction plan?”
Qin Huai laughed and said, "What are you thinking? That man hurt his hand, so he can't continue working."
He didn't pay attention to it today. Only after Zhou Chuanghong told him did he know that Shu Bin had injured his hand. The ring finger and little finger of his right hand were both broken, and his tendons were injured. He really couldn't operate the computer anymore.
Zhou Chuanghong is not very clear about the specific situation, but they live in the dormitory of the Ministry of Information, so they still know some of each other's private lives.
Shu Bin has a boyfriend who was together before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, his boyfriend has been staying at home. With Shu Bin's salary alone, it is not out of the question to support a boyfriend, but the boyfriend takes care of the family. The whole family relies on Shu Bin to make money alone. In addition, rice and grain are getting more and more expensive, and the price of goods is soaring, but the wages are not rising, and the money is not enough due to consumption.
Later, Shu Bin was going to find an opportunity to have a good talk with his boyfriend. If he really wanted to live a good life, then both parties had to work together. His ability alone was limited, and if he continued like this, he would collapse from exhaustion.
So Shu Bin transferred Hugh, and after that, he couldn't come to work anymore.
Zhou Chuanghong and several colleagues in the office who had a good relationship with Shu Bin went to visit the injured Shu Bin, only to find out that on the day he was transferred, he didn't say hello to his boyfriend before returning, and finally ran into a large-scale cheating scene at home. The whole family of my friend knew it, only he didn't know anything, and the other party shamelessly said that he lived in the dormitory of the work unit for a long time, because there was no one around him, so he cheated lonely.
Two men, one of them cheated, or that kind of situation, living in the house he rented for money, sleeping with the boyfriend he made money to support, and the whole family is cuckolding him, can this be tolerated? Of course he couldn't, so he moved his hand, he stabbed the opponent, and he was also wounded back.
The inside story of this family dispute is complicated, and it is really hard to get involved. If Shu Bin's cheating boyfriend wants to be held accountable, then he must first return to Shu Bin all the expenses that the family should have since the replacement of the ID card, otherwise The above did not file a case at all, after all, no one died. Because the records are easy to check, his boyfriend doesn't even have a job, and their family has no job information on their ID cards. In this case, the only way to get a sentence is to match the conditions of both parties.
Mu Nan misplaced the point: "Is this how this kind of case is judged now?"
Qin Huai guessed: "Now there is no court, no lawyers, and no prisons. If you intentionally hurt someone or kill someone, it is definitely impossible to judge like this. But now this is a wounding incident based on a family dispute. This matter can only be mediated in this way." Come on, otherwise you will sentence Shu Bin to be responsible. He hurt his hand and ruined his career for the rest of his life. He also suffers from cheating. If the man is sentenced to responsibility, Shu Bin will be the first to strike. He hurt others first, and both sides have Fault, both of them are injured, and it is impossible to arrest them all and work to atone for their sins, this is a way to make both sides calm down."
Mu Nan felt that the handling of this matter was so sloppy: "That family's life's career has been ruined, from programmers to construction sites, how can people be reconciled? It won't be the case that one day they will hate again and kill people to vent their anger, right?"
Betrayed, cuckolded, and ruined his career, wow, if it were him, he would really hate and want to kill someone.
Qin Huai said: "The law enforcement department is still in the process of rebuilding, and some laws and regulations can no longer be used in the current situation, so some changes must be made to a certain extent. It is probably in a chaotic period at the moment. Can this Mediation is mediation. At this time, there must be a lot of disputes over some assets, marriage and the like. Water sources, food, extreme heat and severe cold are all headaches for the higher-ups. This way of dealing with it is fine, at least there is no one-shot killing and the person who strikes first will be responsible, otherwise Shu Bin will really stab the other party to death and then commit suicide, and it will be over once and for all."
Mu Nan sighed: "Why do good people always meet scumbags? At this moment, there is someone who is willing to support you and you are not satisfied. What's the situation with that scumbag? Is the injury serious? If it's just a little injury, Then your colleague is really at a loss."
Qin Huai said: "It's very serious, it hurts the very bottom of my life."
Mu Nan: "..."
It's no wonder that people are not afraid that Qin Huai's colleague will retaliate if he can't vent his hatred. Just this time, no matter how big the hatred is, all the hatred will be vented.
