Chapter 41-50

Chapter 41

Shen Cong's words shocked everyone present.

Apparently no one had thought of this before.

Cao Hongmin was the first to be unable to hold back, he asked, "Xiao Shen, what is your opinion?"

Shen Cong said helplessly, "What opinion can I have? The people in the house were beaten, and then ran out.

You said that I only knew what was going on. What idea could I come up with in such a short time?

The reason for the river is because my family is an old resident of the community, and I bought the house when I bought the house. The sales department used that river as a selling point, so we understand the situation.

I thought that you have been in the community for a short time, and you may not know it, so I will remind you.

As for how to make a decision, it is up to you to discuss with the captain. Do it." The

Shen family has always been reluctant to participate in the decision-making of the community, as everyone knows.

It's just that this time Shi Lei and the others didn't want to let Shen Cong and the others escape so quickly.

He looked at Shen Jianyi and said, "Uncle Shen, we understand your family's concerns, because they are afraid of being stuck in the middle of not being able to speak. In fact, we don't need to think too much about it. Even if our community and Yingshui Village are in conflict, they are not enemies. You're life and death."

He looked at Shen Cong again, and smiled: "Xiao Shen, don't be humble, who in our community doesn't know that you are a person with Qiu He in your chest?

Do you have any suggestions to talk about it with everyone ? , After all, this is for the future of our entire community, so that everyone can eat."

Shen Cong shook his head.

"Captain Shi, you don't have to give me such a high weight. I know how many pounds and two taels in my heart. I'm not that capable.

And it's not that I can shirk this matter. I really have scruples in my heart.

We all know the situation in our family. , How to say Yingshui Village is also our hometown, and now there are relatives in the village.

You were right in what you said just now. It's really hard to speak in the middle. It's easy to be seen as favoritism when you say anything. If that's the case, it's better not to say it.

Anyway, my dad and I have both promised that we will support what the community decides to do. The rest is up to the captains to discuss. "What

Shen Fei said to Shen's father just now was heard by everyone present, and the trust he showed in the Shen family was seen by the people.

Under this circumstance, no matter what the Shen family said, everyone's first reaction would definitely be ——They

turned to the people of Yingshui Village. After all, they are a family.

In this case, it is more wrong to say more than to say.

"No, no, Xiao Shen, don't think too much. "

"Sister Cong, no one would think so, we are on the side!" "

"Let's talk about it, brainstorm, let's discuss it, talk about it, don't have any scruples." " As soon as

Shen Cong's words were finished, the people around them all shouted.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin also stated their position again, and they were determined to let her express their suggestions.

Since everyone has said this, Shen Cong also No more pretentiousness, she said her thoughts directly.

Really—she felt that the time could not be delayed.

Instead of focusing on these internal frictions, it is better to seize the time to fight the upcoming drought and famine.

"Since everyone let me say , then I will give my opinion. First of all, stop fighting for those lands. People in Yingshui Village want it, just give it to them. These words

suddenly seemed like a drop of water fell into the hot oil pan, and all the people around were blown up!

Fortunately, the two captains were still calm, they just held down the angry people and said to Shen Cong: "Xiao Shen, you go on. "

This is what Shen Cong expected before, and she will naturally not be disturbed.

She looked around, picked up a half-burned branch from the earthen stove built not far away, and made an account with everyone on the floor.

"I don't know exactly how many people there are in our community, so let's count it as 300. Among them, the whole labor force, who can go out to repair bridges, pave roads and do heavy physical work, count as 200!"

Cao Hongmin interjected: "If you can't reach 200, There are one hundred and seven at most."

"Okay, press one hundred and seven. These people must be looking for work in the town, so let's exclude them first. Among the

remaining people, the disabled and children who can't work at all are counted. Thirty, there are only 100 people left.

If you want to open up wasteland and farm, you can count on these 100 people.

These 100 people are basically housewives like my mother and my sister.

They want to be a family Or they live together to feed everyone, take care of the sick, and take care of the children.

In addition, some of them have to undertake the daily maintenance work of the community.

Under such busy conditions, how much can we rely on them to farm?

Another point Don't forget, these people have basically never done farm work, right? All of them are beginners.

Two captains, do you really think that you can rely on the strength of our community to open up all the wasteland at the door?"

"Then let's go to the town to work. I will come back to help when I have time to live! It's not that the more than 100 people have to go to the town, we can go in batches!"

"How much food is left in our community, don't you wait to starve to death? The government is The food is no longer distributed!"

Shen Jianyi finally couldn't help but scolded the person who said help.

"Young people need to use their brains to talk. The town is so big, how much work can we do? Except for the small difference between us, should people go there too?

Early or late, those who can work must be have to go!

Don't forget, in addition to your own food and drink, there are still many people in the community who can't get out waiting for you to earn food and come back!

If you can't earn it, they'll starve to death! " Old

Shen said louder and louder, and the expression on his face became heavier and heavier. It

was obvious how anxious the old man was about the imminent famine.

His words hit the throats of the young people across from him . They seem to be tied up and cannot be refuted at all.

"Captain Shi, Captain Cao, what I mean is that we must do the land reclamation, but we can do it.

After all, whether growing vegetables or grain is not our forte, we have to explore.

In this case, we can't give up the basics, and the labor force can go out to work and can't stay for the wasteland.

Otherwise, the food and vegetables are not planted here, and we really run out of food there, and that will be a big trouble.

There are so many fields outside, guarding the place closest to us, planting or not is just an extra line of defense. There's really no need to grab anything else.

It's not worth the effort to fight with the people of Yingshui Village for this.

They are different from us. They have been farming for a living from generation to generation. They have a deeper affection for the land than we do, and they understand it better than we do.

The land is handed over to them, and if they are not obedient, they will definitely be better than ours.

And there are only so many of us, so a lot of land can be taken away by clearing up the unbuilt vacant land in the community.

Although it is not flat or large outside, the smaller the piece, the better the management.

It is distributed to each household, and the whole plant is grown by himself, and whether it is eaten or sold, it can be regarded as a subsidy.

How many people in the city have large plots of land? Isn't that just planting a shelf at home?

We can also consider this approach. In this way, even housewives or elderly people can free up their energy to take care of them.

There is no need to consider the matter of watering and fertilizing. When carrying water, it will be solved by carrying two more buckets.

Also, the people of Yingshui Village occupied the land outside, and they could not cut off our water source for themselves! "

Shen Cong's words made the two captains on the opposite side fall into deep thinking.

They did not give an answer immediately.

After all, they organized a meeting and mobilized everyone just yesterday. They agreed to open up wasteland and farm together. , to welcome a better life. In the

blink of an eye, the previous plan was completely rejected, which really made it a little difficult to turn around for a while. The

father and daughter of the Shen family didn't stay any longer, and they said goodbye after a few more words.

After walking out, Shen Cong said to his father: "Dad, don't care how the community decides, our family's vegetables can be grown in public. "

Well, I think so too. Tomorrow we'll clean up the backyard and open up that wasteland first. "

You all do it slowly first, and you don't have to hurry, just make an appearance for everyone to see." There are really heavy objects that can't be handled. Don't move them hard. I'll pack them up when I come back at night. "

Shen Jianyi paused: "Where are you going tomorrow?" "

Tomorrow, Gu Kai and I will go to town with the people from the community to have a look. Since each family has to go out to the city for labor, let us both go. "

"No no no!" Where can you do that job! If I want to go, I will go, I will go with Xiaokai. "

Shen Cong smiled: "Just to have a look, you don't have to do those heavy work. Besides, those jobs are what I want to do, and people don't necessarily want me!

The main reason is that we were in a hurry to come back today. We didn't pay attention when we passed by the town, and we don't know what's going on over there now, so we have to check it out.

And..."

She glared at her father: "Where are the old people in the family going out to work? You are also nearly seventy years old. If I asked you to stay at my house, are you calling me for not being filial? "

Shen Jianyi didn't speak, he reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, sighing deeply in his heart.

This is the little daughter he has raised since childhood!

Just two months ago, he was so squeamish and unreasonable that his heart and lungs hurt, but now he has become Ding Haizhu at home.

This is how much hardship it took to become so stable.

The more I think about him, the more distressed I feel, the more sad I feel in my heart.

The next day, Shen Cong didn't go to town to see as she hoped.

First, Gu Kai and Old Man Gu came back in the morning, and they spent the whole night in the town for the old man.

The two of them were so tired that their eyes were blue. At this time, it was impossible for Gu Kai to go to work in the town.

Another is that people from Yingshui Village returned to the village overnight and brought Xu Xingxue here.

They probably didn't rest all night. They took the mountain road back to the village at night, and they came to the gate of the community again at six or seven o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xingxue didn't go anywhere, and came directly to the Shen's house.

This made Shen Jianyi unavoidable, and it was impossible for him to be the middleman.

Under such circumstances, Shen Cong naturally would not leave again.

There are several people from the community and the village this time. Together, a dozen or so people from both sides are gathered at home. She has to guard it, otherwise, where can she rest assured?

The living room of the Shen family was not very big at first, and the furniture was almost destroyed during the earthquake.

In order not to look different from other people's homes, the living room of the Shen family was not tidy up. All the furniture items that Shen Cong received before and kept the space intact were placed on the second floor and above.

Can't see it from the first floor at all.

The second floor is the bedroom, and it is impossible for people to go up normally.

So after such a group of people entered, the room suddenly seemed a little cramped, and there was no bench to sit on.

Cheng Ru was willing to pour a glass of water for everyone, but the glass was not enough.

Seeing this situation, Xu Xingxue said first: "Uncle and aunt, don't be too busy, we are not thirsty. We came to disturb you so early in the morning, and we didn't even say hello, which is also causing you trouble.

But no The way, who made you elders? There is an accident at home, so you can't ask your elders to support you?"

As always, he spoke with a smile, and his tone was sincere and familiar, but the words he said were like putting people on fire. Grilled.

Forcing you to choose a position in front of so many relatives on the spot.

Because Shi Lei was going to take the laborers to the town to do some work, today it was Cao Hongmin who came forward on behalf of the community.

At the meeting last night, the Shen family had already stated their position directly, and everyone knew it in their hearts, so even if Xu Xingxue wanted to help him in front of him, Lao Cao was very calm.

Not only was he not provoked, but instead he said to an old employee at a property standing beside him: "Go, find a few cups over here. You are a guest from afar, and when you go to Uncle Shen's house, you are going to our own house, so come all the way. I have to give people a glass of water anyway."

Shen Jianyi also looked like he didn't understand, and instead of picking up on Xu Xingxue's words, he turned the topic to his leg injury.

"Xingxue, how is your leg recovering? How did you come across such a long mountain road, but you don't dare to think that you shouldn't take it seriously at a young age. You should take good care of it."

Although Xu Xingxue has been working hard to support , but when he entered the door, everyone could see that his right leg was lame.

Although he couldn't see the injury because he was wearing trousers, it was conceivable that he had lost a lot of weight and looked several years older. He must have suffered a lot during this time.

"I'm fine, I'm all done." Speaking of the injury, although Xu Xingxue tried his best to smile, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.

There was silence for a while, a little unable to speak.

Seeing him like this, Shen Jianyi directly brought the topic to the place that everyone cared about the most.

He said: "Xingxue, let's talk about the old things later, let's talk about the real business first.

I participated in the dispute between Murakami and the community yesterday, and we all know the specific situation.

What I mean is - the past. The child passed away. People on

both sides were injured, but the wounded were also treated, and no one suffered from sequelae. In

this case, don’t explain it, and no one is right or wrong.

Everyone is for the collective, for the sake of life, and no one is Because of selfishness.

So this matter ended last night, let's turn it over! Xingxue, Lao Cao, do you agree on this point?" Xu Xingxue and Cao

Hongmin both expressed their approval.

"Then let's talk about the future."

Shen Jianyi looked at Cao Hongmin: "Old Cao, you talk about it first? How can we say that we are also landlords now, and they have all come to Xingxue, so we have to make a statement first. Cao Hongmin smiled and said, "

Okay, then let me talk first?" He looked at Xu Xingxue and asked, "Cun Chief Xu, let me ask something rude first. Are you still in charge of     Yingshui

Village now?"

, he waved his hand: "I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. It's mainly about the future lives of hundreds of people on both sides of the relationship we are talking about today. Since we want to talk, we have to find someone who can talk about it."

Xu Xingxue There was a moment of embarrassment on his face.

He has been in charge of things in Yingshui Village for many years, and he was once a man of his own.

But an earthquake, let alone disabled, was almost pushed from the position of the village chief.

At the beginning, Xu Liang took advantage of the illnesses and injuries of several of their village committee members, and he fluttered in the village for a while, and did a lot of shameful things.

At that time, they didn't have the ability to stop it, and they didn't have the will.

Now being exposed in public, even though Xu Xingxue has always considered himself to be okay, he still feels very embarrassed.

However, Cao Hongmin's words made sense. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only bite the bullet and nodded.

Said: "I'm still the village head, I can't talk about it, but I also have decision-making power. Important matters still have to be discussed and decided by the leaders of the village group."

He gritted his teeth, and finally explained: "The previous thing... ...At that time, the disaster had just happened, and the village cadres had a lot of trouble at home, and they couldn't take care of many things, so the villains jumped for a few days.

But that's all over, Xu Liang and a few idlers who gathered to make trouble He was transferred to the town police station, and the village has now returned to normal."

Hearing what he said, Cao Hongmin nodded and praised: "That's right! This kind of villain can't be kept, this kind of person is completely broken. I don’t know when I will bite someone. If we can get them out of the village, we will be more at ease in dealing with the village in the future.”

He commented on Xu Liang again, and stopped before Xu Xingxue was about to get impatient. , said: "We held a meeting yesterday to study the matter that the village wants to open the wasteland outside the community.

We don't speak secretly, the government has indeed said that whoever opens the land is responsible for the previous documents and certificates. It doesn't work, Village Chief Xu, you all know about this, right?"

Xu Xingxue's lips trembled.

Before he could speak, the people standing behind him exploded: "That's all our village's land! You can't help but tell evidence! Not to mention the outside, even the land in this courtyard is also our village's. Don't take the town's land. What people say is going to press us! Letting you live or not drive you away is just a loss of face! Who are you scaring?!"

Cao Hongmin's face drooped immediately.

He held down the subordinate who wanted to argue with the other party, and looked at Xu Xingxue: "Cun Chief Xu, is this your idea? Are you going to expel all the people in our courtyard?"

Xu Xingxue certainly couldn't admit that they didn't have the ability. Evicting the entire community.

He knew very well in his heart that the strength of the village was now incomparable to that of the past, and the person in front of him was no longer the former head of the property department.

He is now one of the leaders of this community, at least on an equal footing with himself for now.

He tried hard to swallow the grievances in his heart and said, "In fact, our people are right, but we also have to listen to what the government says.

It has been said that whoever opens the land is responsible for it, so let's compete fairly, who are we? Don't say anything, whoever drives out first counts!"

The little money who followed him immediately became unwilling, and shouted, "You guys have the nerve to talk about fair competition? Who didn't say hello in the middle of the night and sneaked over to grab the land? Who? You wiped out     the lime line we drew, and took up the land that we were optimistic about?

What did you do yourself? Are you still fair to us?"

Break out again!

"Okay, no matter what you make, go out! This is my house!" Shen Jianyi shouted angrily.

"My family is still sleeping upstairs. Who wakes people up? Let's see if I don't hit you with a big stick! If you have something to say, An An Shengsheng says, quarrel and go out and quarrel!

" The fire was put down again.

Cao Hongmin's face was stern, it was obvious that he no longer wanted to go back and forth with the people of Yingshui Village.

He said bluntly: "Yesterday, Uncle Shen told us for a long time, saying that the village is not easy now. It turned out that the good fields have turned into mountains, and everyone has no arable land.

Uncle Shen and Xiao Shen have been talking to us for a long time, Saying that we are all neighbors, we need to help each other if we can help each other, and we don’t have to fight and kill for such a trivial matter.

We think this is very reasonable.

So we finally negotiated that we let the outside land out, except for the one closest to the gate of the community. Together, if you want to cultivate other things, you can cultivate them, and use them if you want. We will not argue.

But Village Chief Xu, your attitude is not acceptable. The reason why we didn't fight was because Uncle Shen was right, it's better to have a feud than to marry, and we are also the closest neighbors wherever we are.

It's alright, we all go our separate ways, and we can still help each other if there is anything.

Besides, Xiao Shen also said that we are not as good as you when it comes to our feelings for the land, and when it comes to farming, the land is more useful in your hands.

Now the country is short of food, since you are better than us in this aspect, then we will let the virtuous. Who is not the species? Is it bad for us to grow more food?

But what is your attitude now?

Think we owe you all that you deserve?

If so, then we have to change our approach. Anyone of us who stands out is an upright man, and the people in our community are not easy to bully! "

"No, no, no, no!" Don't listen to their nonsense, the child is talking nonsense, I'll clean him up later! "

Xu Xingxue is a very understanding person. Since he has heard the community's intention to be humble, how can he let them take     back

what they said?!

The young man who spoke first poked his head, then turned his face and discussed with Lao Cao how to divide the land by the door.

Lao Cao and the others discussed it very late last night, and they already had a set. It was a very detailed plan. Xu Xingxue and the others did not sit idle all night, so naturally they had a comprehensive consideration in their hearts.

After the initial trial and confrontation, the two sides finally got to the point.

Watching these people fight He couldn't get up, Shen Cong didn't stay in the room much, turned around, walked out of the room, and went to the backyard.

At this time, both Old Master Gu and Gu Kai were still being held in the room to sleep by their family members, and the backyard was only Shenxi with the two who woke up. A child is playing in the grass.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Shen Cong took out two small sun hats from the space and put them on the heads of the two children, and then ignored the three of them. I stepped aside to study those steel shelves.

When she used her spare time before, Shen Cong and her family moved all the steel shelves to the corner against the wall, freeing up most of the space in the backyard.

But even so, these things still occupy a large place.

She wanted to figure out how to put these things to good use.

Seeing that she was all right, Shen Xi came over, touched her arm and asked, "Is it over?"

"Early, I don't think it's clear until noon today."

"Then let them stay at our house . Are you going ?"

"Otherwise? If we could drive our father to drive them away earlier,

why wait until now?" Hearing what his sister said, Shen Xi was also a little helpless.

She was too lazy to continue this topic, and irritably hit the steel frame with the grass in her hand: "I'm suffocating in the house every day, it's not enough, now I have to listen to them. Quarrel, annoying people!"

Shen Cong smiled, then looked at her sister: "You cherish the days you can stay at home without going out, you will miss it soon."

Shen Xi's hand suddenly stopped in the air : "What do you mean?"

"Go out with us tomorrow."

Chapter 42

The Shen sisters originally thought that those people in the family would have to talk for a long time, but in fact, they ended very quickly, and they talked for about an hour before they came out together.

When he entered the house, he still looked like he was on fire, and when he came out, he hooked his shoulders on his back. They were all good brothers.

Shen Xi has been abroad for a long time, and when he sees this scene, he feels... speechless.

Shen Cong felt nothing.

——Anyway, as long as it doesn't interfere with their family's normal life or affect their meals, she won't feel much about what those people do.

Judging from the current situation, the outcome of this negotiation was relatively successful, and everyone was satisfied.

The people of Yingshui Village agreed to withdraw to a location one kilometer away from the community.

The land within this distance is owned by the community.

Regardless of whether it is to open up wasteland here, or leave it empty as the community's external defense line, the people of Yingshui Village promise not to covet it, let alone to secretly occupy it.

At the same time, the people in the community also promised that people in the village beyond one kilometer can use it and circle it at will.

Except that people in the community must leave a passage for entering and leaving, and set aside the location for future road construction, people in other sites and communities will not preempt it.

In addition to territorial division, both sides have also promised to give each other certain assistance based on the principle of friendship and mutual assistance.

For example, Yingshui Village is now separated from the community by a mountain, and it is difficult to transport it by means of transportation.

And it's very inconvenient to travel, so the people who open up wasteland here must build a house and establish a temporary residence here.

The people in the community promised to lend them the repaired shared bicycles in the yard so that they could use it to transport things.

In addition, it also promised that if the community is not in use, the flatbeds and tricycles can also be lent to them.

Don't underestimate these tools that people don't take seriously in the times of peace and prosperity.

The people of Yingshui Village can stay to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, and even the people who build the houses must be old and weak, and their young and middle-aged people have to go out to work.

Although at the beginning because of the summer harvest, there must be more grain in the village than in the community. But who gave up a prodigal like Xu Liang!

When he was in charge, he had already sold half of the food in the village.

In exchange for a pile of banknotes that are now similar to waste paper.

If the villagers do not go out to work, they are also hungry.

At this time, there is a bicycle to help carry sacks and carry heavy objects, even if it is a big help for these old and weak people.

In return, the people of Yingshui Village promised to provide free guidance if they had trouble growing vegetables and grains in the community.

This is also useful for people in the community.

Although some of the people living in the courtyard were originally from the countryside, the children in the countryside are not necessarily able to farm.

Anyway, in the previous statistics, even a half-bottle like Shen Jianyi was quite experienced in the community.

With such a mutually beneficial plan, the relationship between the two parties seems to be harmonious all at once.

The conflict with Yingshui Village was resolved in this way, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that as long as I worked hard from then on, everything would go smoothly.

But who would have thought that this kind of peace of mind didn't even last until the night.

Shi Lei and the others who went out to work told everyone bad news as soon as they came back.

As expected by Shen Jianyi yesterday -

there are too many people in the town doing good work!

Because people in the community were busy building houses before, they didn't know much about the outside situation.

They didn't even know that the town had set up a reception point at the passage of the high-rise building to receive people from the community, Yingshui Village.

And there are far more than one such reception point. It is said that there are five or six in the whole town.

Shi Lei and the others set off at six o'clock in the morning, and it was less than seven o'clock when they reached the passage, but there were already people waiting for Wuyang and Wuyang.

Many people came the first day because they lived far away.

Others have even been stationed there for days.

These people are all familiar, they just found a place to live nearby, and the long-term workers and short-term workers are all picked up, and they are always on call.

And these people are even divided into groups, some people go to work, some people stay in line.

After the work is done, they will run over and continue to line up...

The advantage of this division of labor is that they will not miss more opportunities.

In this way, people in the community seem to be at a disadvantage when they go there. If they have no experience or no strategy, they will not find a few serious jobs all day long.

People in the community stayed there for a whole day, and only a dozen people found decent jobs, the kind that could get five steamed buns (half a catty of dry food) in one day.

But these people are a bit of a skill.

For example, two people used to be electricians in the community, and a few others learned a little bit from their masters while building a house, which is considered to be a little bit of clay work.

The other dozens of people went to a construction site in the morning to carry garbage, and came back after finishing their work, earning two steamed buns a day.

Don't bring it to your family, you can't get enough to eat yourself.

Shi Lei and a few people in charge of the community did not go to the line to do the work, but went to the town to inspect the situation when everyone was queuing.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that the disaster outside is more serious. Now people's mental state is not as good as when the earthquake just started because of hunger.

This made them feel the pressure immediately, and everyone discussed it and felt that this would not work.

So they did not stay in place and wait like the others, but all returned first.

That night, the heads of the various residential sites in the community gathered again for a meeting.

This time, Shi Lei and the others did not ask everyone to brainstorm, but directly told the management plan they had discussed on the road today, and let everyone discuss.

Their plan is actually very detailed.

The plan is divided into several sections.

Rule 1: Encourage people in the community to form their own small teams as they did in the early days of the earthquake, and then go out to work in the form of teams.

These teams go out to find what kind of work, no matter how much food the community earns.

Each person only needs to hand in 20% of the ration distributed by the government to a strong laborer to the community every day.

These rations are all fixed, usually half a catty per person per day.

Then a person only needs to pay one or two grains a day, and the rest is up to you.

The advantage of this is that because it is a team collaboration, then when you form a team, everyone will find people who are familiar, understand, and have similar abilities to cooperate.

In this way, it is a strong alliance, so when you are outside, the competitiveness must be strong, and the chance of grabbing a job is high.

At this time, it is natural that whoever is stronger and who will shine, is beyond reproach.

Of course, there will inevitably be some people with poor strength who will not be willing to accept the team.

Then the community also provides these people with another opportunity to earn food.

This opportunity was discovered by Shi Lei.

When he turned around in the town, he saw many women, old people and half-year-old children in the town picking and choosing among the ruins.

Some people use iron hooks, and some even use their hands. They pick out useful items from the construction waste regardless of the danger, and then send them to the government acquisition point.

This can also be exchanged for the corresponding dry food.

When Shi Lei came back, he shared the information with the management. After a bit of discussion, they decided to open up the high-rise community and let those willing to go in and pick up the trash.

The high-rise community was previously used as a key epidemic prevention site, and was sprinkled with a thick anti-virus powder.

Because those drugs are too irritating, plus the pollution caused by the corpses over there, the stench is overwhelming.

So after all the people inside moved out, they locked the door.

Although it can't be said that the community is closed, the actual situation is that no one will go there at all.

But now that the situation is pressing, and there is no way to go, we have to consider the residual value there.

After the building over there collapsed, all kinds of steel bars, door and window frames, waste wood and even some relics can actually be reused.

The community now promises that if they want, everyone in the courtyard can go there to pick up the sundries and transport them to the town to sell.

The community can provide means of transportation, and of course, it can also solve it by itself.

The collected sundries must be weighed when they leave the community, and 20% of the dry food obtained after selling is also required to be reserved as emergency supplies.

In fact, everyone is used to the point of handing in 20%, and there is no objection.

After all, up to now, these managers of the community are still relatively public and have no selfishness.

From the earliest teams going out to look for food, to the later release of relief supplies by planes, everyone has been paying this 20%.

Everyone eats one less bite, in fact, I don’t think there is anything wrong with getting used to it.

But when you put them together, the effect comes out.

After the disaster, the community built houses and resolved disputes, including the fact that everyone has not been able to get jobs and ran out of food, and all used the previously reserved materials.

Even if it is for themselves, everyone is willing to hand over this food.

In today's dangerous environment, the community is a harbor, a home, and a last retreat for everyone who lives in it.

Everyone cherishes such an environment.

The community also has requirements for those who must stay at home and cannot go out to earn food.

That is - open up wasteland to grow food!

This time, they accepted Shen Cong's original proposal, ignoring the one kilometer of land outside for the time being.

Just discussing to find someone to go to the high-rise side to get some large pieces of concrete garbage piled up on the side to count as a boundary marker, at least it means that this place is occupied by the community.

What everyone really wants to plant is the open space inside the community.

Although there were more than 200 people in the villa area, Shi Lei and Lao Liu planned well at the beginning, and the houses were all designed as small dormitory buildings similar to single apartments.

Each building has three floors, each floor has fifteen houses, each house is a small two-bedroom, with an area of ​​about 60 square meters.

There are six such buildings planned in the community, and two buildings have been almost built, with a total of seventy sets.

These 70 houses live in the high-rise side, less than 200 people are completely enough, and the other houses are not ready to be built for the time being.

The completed two buildings do not need to consider any greening, and I can’t wait to be frugal, so the overall required location is not even enough to occupy the area occupied by the previous four single-family buildings.

In addition, the community itself was built in the suburbs, and the land was cheap. At the beginning, it was also promoted with the small plot ratio and large green area as its selling points.

So even if there are more than 200 people, the available land in the villa area is enough for each person to get a small piece.

This time, the leadership of the community was very firm.

They will divide the land according to the head.

We will try our best to consider dividing the land of a family or familiar people together, and allow internal free adjustment after division.

But in the end, once it is determined, the divided land must be reclaimed.

Whether it is for residents to open it by themselves, or hire someone to spend the grain, the community needs to be inspected when the time comes, and the land allocated to individuals cannot be left unused.

Then the community will come forward to the town to buy seeds for the entire community with a unified guarantee loan.

After the crops to be planted are harvested, they will also be sent to the government by the community for sale.

The food obtained in exchange is distributed to the residents in proportion.

As for the distribution ratio, this is to be determined.

After all, the managers of the community don't know how to farm the land themselves, so we need to explore and make a decision after discussion.

The plan was unanimously approved by everyone, and finally passed unanimously.

Only when the meeting was about to end, Shen Cong raised his hand and asked two questions.

She said: "Two captains, I would like to ask, if instead of going to the high-rise to pick up the garbage, if you want to take out the waste from your own house, should you give food to the community?"

As soon as she raised this question, Immediately received a response from the aborigines in the villa area.

Because when the people from the high-level side came over, they were all bare commanders, and they didn't bring anything, but they still had houses.

Broken doors and windows at home, broken furniture that can no longer be used, if you can sell it, everyone is willing to make this trip.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin immediately thought of the smashed steel-framed house in the backyard of the Shen family, and they immediately followed.

The two didn't even exchange opinions, and immediately agreed.

He also said that except for his own garbage, as long as it is not picked up in the community, the 20% will not be charged.

I also encourage everyone to go out more.

After all, the government's capacity is not up to now, and there are still many ruins around, especially near the cracks. If you really look for it, you can't find anything that can be sold.

Anyway, in a word, as long as you can get food, you can think of any tricks you can think of.

The community will find ways to help.

Hearing what the leaders said, everyone was even more excited.     Then Shen Cong raised the second point: "Captain, the grain and vegetables grown on the land allocated to us by the community must be handed in, so should we also hand in the proportion of the crops we grow in our own homes

?"

I explained one more sentence: "I want to explain this point. In fact, many people in our community know that my family bought an extra piece of land at the earliest time to plant herbs for my father-in-law. As a result, this medicine has not been planted yet. , there is an earthquake first.

We must use this land, so do we have to pay for the production of this land?"

"No." Cao Hongmin replied succinctly.

"It's not just you, everyone in our community who grows vegetables and grains in their own houses is their own private property. If you have the ability and the spare energy to be self-sufficient, everyone will go and grow them. We support!"

He paused here, and his tone changed. very heavy.

"There is no leader in our community. To put it bluntly, we are a group of disaster-stricken people twisted together to fight against God!

Everyone can think of any self-help way to try.

As long as we can live, as long as we do not cause harm to others, we will Those who can help will help, and those who can support will definitely support."

Although this sentence is very inspiring, it also makes everyone feel the pressure behind the words.

Everyone's heart is heavy.

After the meeting, Shen Cong and Shen's father went home and told everyone about the meeting.

Then Shen Jianyi asked his daughter: "Monggong, what do you mean by that garbage? Are you going to sell our steel building?"

"No, it's just a reason."

Shen Gong explained: "I was thinking about How to deal with those steel shelves? Take all the space back, and suddenly such a big pile of things disappeared. There must be a reason. But it really takes up space.

And after a long time, I am afraid that things will be damaged.

Now the community Promise that we can sell the waste, then we can cut it and transport it outside the community, and then I will put it in the space.

Anyway, no one will really ask whether we sold it or what to do with it. I asked today is In order to have an external statement."

"I think so." Shen Jianyi nodded.

But Shen Cong was thinking of something else.

She said: "Dad, let's make use of the solar energy, don't hide it. We installed solar energy in our house, and everyone in the community knew about you and Gu Kaixiu's solar energy later. There was nothing to hide

. I dare to let everyone see that we use it because I am afraid that the comparison will make the neighbors feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

But I think about it now, in fact, we can't use so much electricity in our own home, let alone so many power storage devices. It's a waste to save.

In this case, it's better to send a special copy to the people in the community. In

this way, even if we use a cutter during the day, use an electric drill, and turn on the light at night, no one can say anything, and our own efficiency will also be improved. It 's over."

"Take that high-power outdoor power supply to the property and let them use it. Send it in the morning and bring it back to charge it at night." Gu Kai suggested.

"Okay, give them that two-kilowatt outdoor power supply, and that one has solar panels. Now the sun, even if it runs out of electricity, will continue to come on soon. A machine can do a lot of things."

Seeing that the whole family nodded and said yes, Shen Cong took out the outdoor power supply from the space, touched it with his hand, and added: "However, this thing cannot be given to the property for free."

Shen Jianyi frowned immediately.

"Using this, do you still want to pay our community?"

Although the space at home can't be mentioned, but now every time I hear the talk about how difficult the life of the people outside is, the three old people in the family don't mind. feel good.

They are all old, and all of them have come to the time when they can't see the hardship of the younger generation.

Reason tells them that they must keep their mouths shut, but in their hearts, they always wish that the disaster would pass sooner, so that everyone's life could return to normal.

So when I can help others, I always want to help.

"What kind of payment do you want!"

Shen Cong glanced at his father: "I just want to use this to discuss with the people in the community whether we can save our family from the land that must be reclaimed.

Our family's own land can't be planted, and it's really divided into land. , and divided according to the head, our family will definitely have a lot of land, who will plant it at that time?

If not, will it be regarded as a model by the community, and we will use the food grown by our own family to share the crops. It's better if the

two sides are delayed and the two sides can't settle. Even

if it was said in the meeting just now, the land can be given to others or rented to others. But Dad, what if the river dries up? When the water can't keep up, who will take over the others? Land? You can’t even get your

own land.

What’s more, you have heard what Lao Cao said just now. The community doesn’t get a cut of what he grows in his own home. It’s all his own.     Who

is stupid?

How can I grow the vegetables in my own home first?

Rather than being embarrassed by dividing the land and not being able to rent it out, let’s take the initiative to go to the community and talk about it.

We use electricity as public food, and don’t assign land to us. We fill the community with two kilowatts of electricity every day in return.

I think Lao Cao and the others will definitely agree. "

Agreed, there will be no harvest for a while, and the electricity will be available immediately." The community has no reason to disagree. "

Shen Xi said: "I agree with Gung Gung's opinion. We are not negotiating conditions with the community. Our family is really in a special situation. We have a backyard and we can’t plant our own land. This is what everyone can see.

I think no one can say anything about us after the electricity is available. "

"Don't be afraid to say it. Some people really say that it is also the kind of brainless, unable to become a climate. Cheng Ru also expressed his approval. Early the

next morning, Shen Cong and his wife took the outdoor power supply to the property, and then told Cao Hongmin about their plans at home. There

were many people in the property when they went, basically They are all calculating the area and then going out to measure and divide it out and distribute it to each household.

Shen Cong glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat. If

she didn't see it, she didn't notice that the area of ​​the original community was so large!

Even if it was in the middle There is one more crack, but those public garden areas, children's activity areas, what fountains, and pedestrian streets have been shaken by the earthquake, and this time they will be put together for everyone to share

. , Shen Cong felt that if she was to be assigned to her own home, the area would be much larger than the backyard.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it would be better to send this burden out earlier.

In fact, it was not a matter of whether she was willing to contribute to the community. Son, Shen Cong really knows that the drought will continue in the future.

She understands that no matter how excited everyone is now, no matter how hot they are, in fact, it will definitely be over in the end.

As long as it doesn't rain for a day, the problem of water source will not be solved. It's solved.

After a while, if there is not enough water to drink, who can take care of watering the ground?

But there is no way to tell this kind of thing in advance, and you have to meet everyone to believe it.

Otherwise, how can she tell everyone that everything she does now is useless?

Fortunately, the policies formulated by the community are very good, and it has been explained that everyone can explore, and at the same time, there is no mention of how much food to hand in.

In this way, even if it can't be implemented in the end, at most it's a waste of physical strength and can't move the foundation.

It is far better than the initial kind of investing a lot of manpower and material resources to open up wasteland outside the community.

Knowing that the Shen family came to donate electricity to the community, many people present cheered directly.

Human beings in modern life, who can endure the days without electricity unless they have to?

Electricity can bring people a sense of happiness and security, often no less than food!

Although two kilowatts of electricity a day is not even a drop in the bucket for people in a community, the difference is too far, too far.

But it can indeed solve some practical problems for everyone.

For example, the emergency light with dual-purpose battery charging can save a lot of dry batteries for emergency use with the power supply.

Not to mention, the computers in the community can also be used.

It is conceivable how much convenience this brings to demographics and some transactional work.

Cao Hongmin took the power bank and grabbed it in his hand, so he couldn't bear to let it go.

Touching and touching, it was like seeing some strange baby.

As for Shen Cong's proposal to use it as a public ration to be handed over in the future, he immediately agreed without any consideration.

Chapter 43

In order to prevent people from being lazy, the community divides residents into three levels: full labor force, half labor force, and no labor ability.

All men without disabilities between the ages of 18 and 55 are classified as the full labor force.

Whether you go out or not, these people have to hand in one or two grains of food to the community every day.

Women, as well as teenagers between the ages of ten and eighteen, and middle-aged and elderly people between the ages of fifty-five and seventy, are classified as semi-labor.

These people can choose to pick up garbage and share the harvest with the community according to the kilogram.

You can also choose to hand in dry food according to half of the total labor force, that is, one or two grains in two days.

There are no elderly people over the age of 70 in the community, and there are not many children under the age of six, but there are some injured in the earthquake and have not recovered.

These people are naturally incapacitated.

They don't have to hand over food to the community.

On the contrary, according to the requirements of the government, the community will bring these people's rations back from the town once a week, and then distribute them all without discount.

For these people, not only the community, but also the government has preferential treatment. After all, everyone should have a chance to live.

The reason for making such a rule is that some people would rather go hungry than go out and do work. I had to be so hungry that I could barely walk before I went out.

But at this time they often have no ability to find work.

When the earthquake just ended, this kind of thing didn't happen. There were several cases in the community. They didn't participate in team activities, and they didn't go out for various reasons.

Then he was so hungry that he either stole the rations of the people living with him, or went to the property or his companions to beg or make trouble.

Saying that this one is inhumane and that one is inhumane, I will starve him to death.

At the beginning, things didn't make a big deal because the earthquake had just happened, and everyone didn't have much feelings about hunger, and they still felt sympathy for their companions.

In addition, many people still had food at home at that time, and they let each other go.

It didn't take long for government relief to be released.

No one really takes them seriously.

But now it's different.

Every bite of food is likely to be a life saver at some point.

It must not be used to appease the rapist, nor can it be used to make people habitually ill.

Therefore, in order to prevent micro-duplication, the community made such rigid regulations early on.

Not going out to find work is a personal matter, but the food that should be handed in must be handed in.

If you do not pay food for more than two days, and there is no special reason, you will be kicked out of the community and will not be allowed to move in again.

This is also supported by everyone. After all, who wants to raise moths?

As soon as this rule came out, people in the entire community basically moved.

Except for the people who had to stay, most of the people in the entire community were dispatched the next day.

Not to mention the people who went out to do the work, some half-old children also went to the upper floors to pick up garbage under the organization of the elderly at home.

Cao Hongmin found all the disposable masks that could be found early.

Mr. Gu also donated 200 of them on the grounds that he had left over from the clinic.

The people on the property distributed all these masks to everyone, basically one person per person.

Some families have also made preparations themselves, and made masks, gloves, sun hats with cloth that is temporarily unused at home...

In addition, they have come up with all kinds of strange methods, using wooden boards, ropes, and Wanxiang removed from the furniture at home. Wheel made a lot of flatbeds, wheelbarrows and other means of transport.

After all, at this time, with a better tool, you may win at the starting line.

Early in the morning, the community was bustling like never before, and before nine o'clock, there was almost no sound at all.

Everyone who can go out has gone out.

According to the statistical method of the community, except for Gu Kai, who is a full-time laborer, and the two children who are incapable of labor, the rest of the Shen family are half-labor.

That is to say, their family has to hand in two and a half of their food a day.

Before Shi Lei came back, Shen Cong and her sister had discussed going to the town together to take a look.

But after the meeting, the family felt that it was no longer important to go or not.

So they decided not to go out for a few days, and concentrated on tidying up the backyard together.

Shen Cong was entrusted with an "important task" by her family and asked her to go to the property to pay for the food.

She was still a little worried on the way there, wondering if her own approach would be too conspicuous?

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the property department, I met several acquaintances, all of whom were the old owners of the previous villa.

Everyone is here to hand in the food.

No one chatted with the owners after the meeting, and at most exchanged expressions tacitly.

Seeing this situation, who else doesn't understand?

Everyone thinks the same -

and how long does the junk shop in town last?

While it's still open, quickly take out the things you don't need at home and sell them.

But don't let it get more and more worthless.

With so many neighbors as company, Shen Cong was also magnanimous, and generously handed over a pound of dried noodles and three biscuits.

At the same time, she curiously glanced at the things the neighbors had handed in, and found that they really had everything.

Not to mention biscuits, pancakes, and rice noodles, she even saw potato chips and coke!

Shen Cong really wanted to ask, how should the cola and dry food be converted?

But there were too many people on the property at that time, and no one had time to chat with her, so they had to go home first with the flow of people.

Because electricity usage can now be disclosed, the Shen family no longer hides it.

After closing the door, Shen Cong first used his ability to move the steel shelves to the backyard and place them in a suitable shape for operation.

Then Gu Kai and Shen's father cooperated and used a cutting machine to cut the usable parts of the steel into the previously determined size.

At the same time, Old Man Gu and Shen Xi packed up the wooden boards that could be used, sawed them with a saw, and nailed them with a nail gun.

Let's work together and plan to use these steel frames and wooden boards to make more seedlings.

When everyone was making a stand, Shen Cong was not idle.

She turned the yard all around.

Collect all the stones, garbage, and broken glass on the ground, put them in sacks, and prepare to transport them out of the community and throw them outside together.

Because there is space to assist, these other people may have to do very laborious work. For her, it is something that can be done in an hour or two.

Several adults were sweating and busy downstairs.

Tongtong and Shanshan are also helping the adults to work together.

The two children followed their grandmother to water the vegetables in the nursery box on the third floor.

Because the entire third floor was laid out in advance by Mr. Gu, the vegetables at home grew very early and grew very strong.

The seeds that were just sown when the family tree came, how long has it been?

The first batch of cabbage planted is almost ready to be harvested.

Of course, for the time being, the Shen family didn't dare to take out these dishes for others to see, so they could only eat them slowly.

But the vegetable seedlings planted in the second and third batches have also emerged at this moment, and they are full of green.

These are not afraid of outsiders to see.

On the first day of working together, the family spent a whole day just cutting the steel frames and sawing the wooden boards.

That's it, I just sorted out the parts that can be used at home now, and I really can't finish the rest.

The next day, the whole family worked together to lift the sawn steel frame and nailed wooden planks to the roof of the fourth floor.

It was welded on the platform and made a full circle against the wall, a total of fifteen seedling racks.

I haven't felt anything yet while cutting in the backyard. But once this is set up, the momentum will come out immediately!

It is really neat and pompous, and it makes people proud to look at it.

Although they were all very tired, don't mention the excitement in everyone's heart!

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to complete such a huge project through their own labor.

After all these things are done, it is almost dark.

Everyone was too tired to lift their hands and feet, and didn't even want to say a word.

Even Cheng Ru, a housewife who has always regarded cooking as her own duty, and was unwilling to move the finished food until she had to, couldn't help but quietly walked over to her daughter and asked, "Let's have cold noodles at night? I remember you before. I seem to have said that I bought cold noodles from Tianfu Restaurant?"

Seeing that my mother actually agreed with them to eat takeaway, Shen Cong suddenly regained her spirits.

Nodding quickly, he continued to recommend: "I not only bought cold noodles, but also cold noodles, cold skins, and I also have cold cakes, mung bean cakes, mint cakes, and ice powders...

" With her eyes shining brightly, Cheng Ru was so angry and funny.

She waved her hand: "It's alright, alright, you can eat what you like, and don't let me cook anyway. My bones are about to be tired, so I'll take a bath first, and lie down after the bath. "

Hearing my mother let go, Shen Cong jumped directly to her sister's side and grabbed her arm: "Sister, what are you going to eat tonight? My mother said, she doesn't care about us today, she can eat whatever she wants!"     Shen Xi stretched out With a finger, he poked his sister's forehead to the side: "Let's go, it's hot, don't get so close. You still have an appetite on such a hot day? You're really not tired!     Give me a cup of cold water. The sweet bean curd is fine, and I won't eat anything else.     Don't give them too much, remember to give each of them a bowl of mung bean soup..."     Before Shen Xi's words were finished, there was a sudden burst of noise outside. There was a commotion, and then someone shouted at their house: "Doctor Gu! Doctor Gu, come out and have a look, someone fainted!"     At this time, the Shen family was still walking downstairs when they heard the sound No one cares about what to eat anymore.     Gu Zhengchu and Shen Cong ran straight downstairs, while the others simply turned around and went upstairs, all leaning on the railings on top of the rooftop and looking out.     Seeing this, everyone's mood suddenly became heavy.     I saw an old man in his sixties lying on the ground not far from the front door of their house.     Even though she fainted, she still held a bamboo pole firmly in her hand.     An iron hook was fixed in front of the bamboo pole, and a rotten magazine was hung on it.     Looking at this old lady, none of the Shen family standing on the roof platform said a word, they only felt a burst of unspeakable discomfort in their hearts.     Because they were all working on the top floor before, they had already seen this old man.     This old man should be too old and can't do any heavy work, so he decided to stay in the community to pick up garbage.     No one knows why she didn't go to the high-rise, but stayed in the villa area.

Maybe it's because there are few people here, and no one will rob her, right?

When the Shen family first paid attention to her, she was rummaging through the ruins to the east. When she found something she thought could be sold for money, she put it away in the sack she was holding.

The old lady didn't have any help, nor did she move the nest, she just kept going around.

She was there in the morning, and she was still there in the afternoon. Who would have thought that it was almost night, and she was still there!

"Whose family is this aunt?" Shen Xi asked.

"I don't know, it's not an old resident of our hospital." Cheng Ru replied.

"The ones from the higher-ups seem to live with Xiao Qian and the others. She said that she has only one son. She worked with Xiao Qian and the others before and broke her leg during the earthquake." Gu Kai explained a few words.

He didn't say much.

But there is no need to say more, everyone understands the meaning behind.

Her son is injured, and it must not be healed according to the situation.

And she's not the type to do the hard work.

At this time, if you want to survive, you can only work hard. If you can't do something heavier than others, you can work longer than others.

"Will she not eat all day today?" Shen Xi suddenly remembered and asked again.

"Why do I feel like she's been here all day, and I haven't seen her leave."

No one answered her.

At this moment, everyone felt that their hearts were blocked, and the appetite that Shen Cong reported before was gone.

Shen Cong and Old Master Gu came back quickly.

She came back and said that the old lady was fine, but the weather was too hot and she didn't pay attention to protection from heat stroke.

I poured two Huoxiangzhengqi water, and when I woke up, I was sent back to my place of residence.

After talking about the old lady's situation, the old man Gu looked at the sky outside without speaking for a long time.

The sadness between his brows could not be concealed at all.

It's almost October, and the weather is still hot.

If things go on like this, many unexpected things may happen.

Shen Cong was also silent.

Because she knew that the old lady was just the beginning, and she didn't know how many such things would happen in the future.

She was lucky today and fainted in the courtyard, when everyone was there at six or seven o'clock.

What if you fainted while picking up trash in a corner of the upper floors?

What if you fainted on the way to town?

Now not only the old man has to work, but also the children.

Ten years old, eleven years old, they are still elementary school students, and now they have to work as half of the labor.

Where have they done this before?

I can't get enough to eat, and I have to go to such places to pick up garbage...

Heat stroke is still a trivial matter, will I catch some disease?

Such a young age...

The more Shen Cong thought about it, the more upset he became.

"Old Shen, tomorrow we will build the awning on the fourth floor, let the children go out and find a way to get some empty boxes back.

Let's move the dishes from the third floor to the fourth floor, and the third floor will be vacated. I need to plant some herbs."

Elder Gu, who was silent for a long time, said.

Hearing this, everyone froze in their hearts.

"Brother Gu, are you going to be sick?" Cheng Ru asked worriedly.

Grandpa Gu was silent again.

Just when everyone thought he would not answer, he said in a deep voice, "Be prepared early."

After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic. This is the word passed down by our ancestors.

Although after the earthquake, the government has done a lot of work and tried its best to suppress the disaster.

Just spraying those disinfectant-powders doesn't know how much financial and material resources it takes.

Before today, everyone was full of self-confidence and felt that the earthquake must be over.

But now, the old man's words made everyone present shudder.

There was a deep fear.

In the evening, except for the children who were afraid that they would not digest well, one of them gave a bowl of steamed egg custard, and the rest of the Shen family all ate the cold noodles suggested by Cheng Ru.

Tianfu Restaurant's cold noodles used to be a must in Beining. The noodles are glutinous, the spicy oil is red and bright, spicy and sour, and the taste is just right. No one who has eaten it disliked it.

In the calm days before the earthquake, in summer, the restaurant's dining-out window would open in the morning until it was closed at night, and people queuing up constantly.

This is what the Shen sisters grew up eating, and it is also the taste of their childhood memories.

If it is normal, the family sits around and eats a bowl of cold noodles in the summer weather, which is really enjoyable.

But tonight, the Shen family's bowl of cold noodles was completely unpalatable.

After eating, no one talked about chatting again, and everyone went to bed early.

Everyone knows that tomorrow, and for a long time to come, they will have to race against time.

Prepare as much as you can before the disease strikes.

Building an awning requires climbing. Although the two elderly people said it was no problem, none of the three juniors in the family could rest assured.

So after discussion, it was decided to keep Gu Kai and repair the awning on the roof of the fourth floor with the old man, and the sisters Shen Cong went to the town to sell scraps.

"No, Mom, will you go with you? Can you two be okay? How can you move so many things?"

Even though it had been discussed, Cheng Ru was still worried.

When I was having dinner in the morning, I couldn't help but repeat it again.

"What do you do when you go to Tongtong? If I leave, you won't be at home anymore, the two will go to heaven!

Mom, don't make trouble, help me take care of those two little ancestors at home, and do logistics for my dad and Uncle Gu. Guarantee, it's a big help for us."

Shen Xi stood up, hugged his mother from behind and snorted hard on her face, then coaxed and persuaded.

"Bum, make me oily!"

Cheng Ru pushed her eldest daughter aside angrily.

He scolded: "Don't think that I don't know how careful you are, you are just suffocating at home and want to go out with your sister.

When is this, it's so nice to be outside? You're not very energetic Er...Oh, no, I'm still worried, shall I go with you?"

Shen Cong was so troubled by these two people that he really had a headache.

She put down the tableware, wiped her mouth, then stood up and said, "You two talk slowly, I'll load the things into the car. If you haven't finished talking after loading, you can continue, I'll go first.

" He also waved to the two of them and made a goodbye gesture.

Shen Xi drank the soy milk in the bowl in two mouthfuls, then left the bowl and ran out with his sister.

While running, he didn't forget to explain: "Mom, go see Shan Shan at seven o'clock, I'm afraid she'll cry when she wakes up and can't see me!"

Then she rushed out without waiting for her mother to come back.

No matter how old your daughter is, being a mother will never rest assured.

But in fact, with Shen Cong following, how could they be so tired?

Not to mention, those big bags and small bags on the car, when they walked out of the gate of the community and went to a place where no one else was, Shen Cong would naturally receive them into the space.

It wouldn't really be pushed to town like that.

I don't even know how much more effort it saves than others.

After the previous two days of sorting, in fact, there are not many things that the Shen family can really take out and sell as waste, and most of them can still be used after refinishing.

And in order not to be noticed by those who are interested, it is impossible for the family to sell waste products only once.

Therefore, on the tricycle, only some leftovers are placed on the top layer for outsiders to see. In fact, most of the stones below are collected from the house, garbage and these things that need to be taken out and thrown away.

Shen Cong rode a tricycle, Shen Xi followed behind and supported the things on the car, and the two sisters went out of the community together.

When I walked to the gate, I found that it was different from before. The gate of the community was half closed, and there were two security guards standing at the open gate.

Next to them was the oldest scale, the kind only used in junk shops, and I don't know where they got it from.

Two people are weighing the people who have picked up the trash and are about to go out.

Because the Shen family sisters came out early, there are not many people selling waste products at this time. There are only two people in front of them, and it will be their turn soon.

"Do we want to weigh ours too?" Shen Cong squeezed the brakes, preparing to get out of the car.

"No, no, our Captain Cao said, you don't need to weigh yourself to sell your own things. Sister Cong, let's go."

One of the young men said to them with a smile.

After speaking, he stepped back to make way for them.

Maybe it was the love that was formed by borrowing a tricycle when it rained the first time. Shen Cong himself didn't understand what was going on. The boys on the property in the yard were very kind to her.

I am willing to be close to her, and I will run fast without saying hello if I can help.

Shen Cong thanked the two boys and left the community with her sister.

When it came to talking to the security guard, the two of them had walked a long way before.

Shen Cong didn't chase after others, and didn't even think about who to be with.

She and her sister first found a garbage disposal site stipulated by the government, and dumped the earth and stone garbage brought from the car.

Then put the dead steel frame scraps on the car into the space, and take out a bit of chopped wood from the space and put it on the car to cover people's eyes.

After doing this, the sisters began to walk in the direction of the town.

"Shall we go directly to the junkyard?" Shenxi asked.

"No, let's walk in the opposite direction of the crack today. I haven't been there yet."

There is only so much garbage that can be sold at home. If it is sold, it will be sold out once.

They also counted on these, and made a few more trips to cover up those things that were put into the space.

Of course you can't sell it all at once.

Moreover, the empty box that her father-in-law told her to retrieve was actually already in her space, and it was prepared before the disaster.

During the day, the two of them can spend more time walking around, and when they go back at night, they can just take out the things in the space and change them to a bright place.

On the way to the town, Shen Cong and the others met a lot of people.

But judging from the people I met, there are really not many people who sell junk.

For this, even Shen Cong had to admire Shi Lei's vision is really good.

The path found is very suitable for the people of the community.

After all, judging from the current situation, only the community is the closest to the town and has the smoothest roads among the several large population gathering points around.

Although the road has not yet been repaired, there are many people walking. In addition, whether it is from the construction team before, whether it is from the town or from here, many of them use transportation.

At the beginning, everyone expanded the road while walking, and after a long time, it gradually formed a small road that can be walked slowly on a tricycle.

This greatly shortens the time it takes for community personnel to travel to the town.

Although the road is for everyone, there are not many people who can own transportation at this time.

For example, in Yingshui Village, they are separated by a mountain from here. Even if there are three-wheeled vehicles in the village, it is not easy for him to come here!

No tools, such a long journey to the town to transport waste products to sell, that hardship is not something ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, at least in a short period of time, the people in the community have seized the opportunity.

In addition to the locals living in the town, probably only the people from the community went there.

Moreover, the channels for obtaining waste products are different, and there is no competition between them.

Unless the acquisition station is withdrawn one day, it will not be crowded out.

Because the things pulled on the car were not heavy, when no one was passing by, Shen Xi stopped pretending and sat directly on the edge of the car.

The sisters chatted while walking, and soon reached the big crack.

This was the first time that Shen Cong had left the community after the earthquake. Although everyone who came out of the house had mentioned this crack many times, it was the first time she saw it.

She stood in front of the crack and looked at it for a long time, but she still couldn't calm down. After a long time, she finally couldn't hold back a sentence: "Gonggong, is there still time for this disaster to end?"

Shen Cong didn't know how to answer her sister's question. .

After her rebirth, every time she talked about these visions with her family, the words she used were natural disasters, but in her previous life, the word that everyone said the most was - the end of the world.

She also doesn't know when such a disaster will end, she only knows that there will be new disasters until she dies.

It's just that she doesn't want to talk about it, at least not now.

Even though her heart beats in hope and despair at any time, she still wants her family to have more confidence in the future.

"It will definitely end. Don't you see that our life is much better now than when the earthquake just happened?"

She said to her sister with a smile.

Shen Xi turned around, looked at his sister's smiling eyes, and nodded heavily.

Of course she knew that her sister was comforting herself, but she was willing to listen to it.

The two walked in the opposite direction to everyone else.

Along the way, I met a few people going up to the town.

From their vicissitudes and tired faces, it can be seen that these people should have traveled a long way, and they may not have slept all night.

When those people passed by the sisters, some people glanced at them, and some people didn't even lift their eyelids.

His expression was numb.

Apparently, survival has overwhelmed man to the point of no interest in everything else.

The two of them rode for a long time, Shen Cong was so tired that he couldn't take it anymore and stopped the car.

She fanned the wind with her palms and panted to her sister, "No, I'm exhausted, I have to rest for a while."

Shen Xi didn't answer immediately.

She took a few steps forward, then stopped, and said to her sister, "Why do I feel like I've been to this place before

?

"

Chapter 44

"Look at that place, is that the discount mall that Mom had to bring me to when I came back last time?"

Shen Xi pointed to a large ruin not far from them.

"Which discount mall?"

"That's it, I forgot what it's called. When I was pregnant with Shan Shan, my mother insisted on dragging us to go shopping. In the end, the place that sells seasonal products will never come to you.

She also said that Europe is cold, and it’s a good idea to buy seasonal things here. I spent a day shopping with her in the summer with a big belly and I almost died of exhaustion.

That’s right, it’s here! I still remember the bronze statue at the door!

You Look, although the bronze statue is gone, the pedestal below is still there."

Shen Xi said long-windedly for a long time, and Shen Cong finally got some impression.

For my sister, it was only three years ago, but for Shen Cong, it was a long, long time ago.

How could she remember a mall that she hadn't even been to a few years ago?

"You mean it's possible to find something there?" Shen Cong narrowed his eyes.

"Who knows? We've come here anyway, so let's go and see, what if?"

Yes, what if?

Although from a distance it has become a ruin, and even from a distance, you can feel that it is definitely not a large shopping mall as my sister said.

But Shen Cong did not reject the offer to take a look in the past.

After all, she knows that Beining has been in a stage of rapid development in recent years.

Every once in a while, a new mall opens, and every once in a while, another old mall closes down.

This is most likely the kind of old shopping mall that is on the verge of bankruptcy or has closed down.

But the more you do this, the less likely you will find something good.

The two of them went to the ruins with this mentality.

When we went there, neither of the two of them thought that they would find treasure!

This place should indeed be as Shenxi said, and it was planned according to the clothing city at the earliest.

The layout inside is all a small clothing store.

It's just that this mall was probably closed for a long time due to poor management, and the merchants in it have also withdrawn, so there are no clothes or goods in the ruins.

There was no sign of anyone being injured.

In addition, this piece of ruins is not on the only way to the town. People passing by may think that this place has been closed for a long time, and there will be no food, so no one has come to rummage.

So much so that everything inside is well preserved.

It still maintains its original messy appearance after the earthquake.

But many of the things in it are very useful to the current Shen family, no, not only the Shen family, but many things in it are very useful to the whole community!

For example, those large plastic boxes that were discarded by previous merchants can be taken back to grow vegetables.

Those stainless steel pipes that were nailed to the wall to hang clothes are now on the ground, everywhere.

There are also perforated boards used by merchants to hang hats and small accessories. After taking them back and processing them a little, they can be used as climbing frames for vines.

And there are countless small chandeliers that haven't been broken, string lights...

all of them are good things that can't be exchanged for food now!

Shen Cong picked up the ones he liked while looking at them, and put them into the space unceremoniously.

But she took it for a long time, only to feel more and more, and she couldn't finish it.

That feeling is like a mouse falling into a rice jar, very satisfying.

Just when she was addicted to the pleasure of "picking up junk" and couldn't extricate herself, she suddenly heard her sister shouting over there: "Monggong, come here, look what I found!"

Shenxi's voice changed because of excitement It was a bit sharp, and even though she had tried to control it, she could still make people feel her uncontrollable excitement.

Shen Cong stopped looking at the things at his feet, and strode towards his sister.

This piece of ruins is quite large. After all, it used to be a large shopping mall in the form of a pedestrian street.

After they walked in, they split up.

Shen Cong ran in the direction of her sister's shouting.

But when he was about to get to her, he suddenly stopped, and then shouted at Shenxi: "Sister, come here!"

"It's okay, it's very safe here, you can just come directly."

Shenxi stood in a building In front of the building, which was half down, he waved at her indifferently.

That building was a bit like the high-rise that was folded in half when Shen Cong and Gu Kai first went to the town.

This is also the top half folded down.

However, this building is not as high as a high-rise, nor does it look solid.

From Shen Cong's current point of view, my sister is like standing under a dangerous building with a floor about to fall over her head, how scary how scary it is!

She was angry and anxious, but she didn't dare to quarrel with Shenxi, for fear that she would provoke her sister, and she didn't know where to go... She had to work

hard to suppress her pounding heart, be cautious and use the fastest speed close to her.

Shen Xi didn't expect that he would frighten his sister.

Seeing Shen Cong coming over and grabbing her hand, she said excitedly, "Monggong, look at what's in here!" But

before she could finish her words, she was pulled hard by her sister, and she was directly pulled out for a long distance. .

Shen Xi was unprepared and screamed out when he was pulled.

After reacting, he was so angry that he slapped Shen Cong on the arm and cursed, "You scared me to death, don't you know!

" Shen Cong was completely indifferent.

She just stared at Shen Xi with a serious face, and explained, "You are not allowed to go to such a dangerous place in the future!"

Only then did Shen Xi react.     She shook her hand and said helplessly

, "I'm not stupid! I saw that the floor above is solid and won't fall off. Oh, I'll let you see that house!"

He was grabbed by Shen Cong.

"You stand here, I'll see it myself." She said, and gave her sister a warning look.

He was so angry that Shen Xi rolled his eyes.

After Shen Cong placed her sister in a safe place, she returned by herself.

She took a careful look at the current structure of the building, and made sure that nothing would fall off as her sister said, so she put a little snack on it.

She took a few more steps forward, walked to the front of the building and looked at the first-floor windows that were still intact. The glass was all shattered, but the frame was still there.

This is also a burst of ecstasy!

These rooms turned out to be the warehouses of this mall!

Although the mall may have been closed before, the machinery and tools used for maintenance and cleaning are all there.

Vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and air conditioners seem useless now, but at least they can be sold for money.

That's not to mention, there are a lot of metal shelves there, which should have been cleared from the supermarket.

There are also refrigerators, freezers, cold drink display cabinets...

In addition, there are many woven bags and black plastic bags on the ground.

I can't see what's inside.

But from the outside, Shen Cong felt that the clothes that were thrown away after the merchants were withdrawn from the cabinet were picked up by someone!

"Have you made a fortune?"

Shen Xi also followed him at some point, leaning on his sister's shoulder and looking in together.

"Yes, I've made a fortune this time!" Shen Cong's eyes lit up.

"Can you get it all out?" Shen Xi pushed his sister.

"You can try." Shen Cong rubbed his palms.

It has been more than a month since the last time I took things from the air at the construction site.

During this period, although Shen Cong still did not advance, he could feel that his abilities had improved.

Although this building does not know how it entered a state of balance, the floor, beams and columns did not collapse.

But it is the most common three-story red brick building, and its earthquake resistance is incomparable to that of high-rise buildings.

It should still be in a dilapidated state.

In this case, it would be too dangerous to open the door or enter through the window.

It is possible to bury someone accidentally.

However, it is not difficult to retrieve objects from the outside of the window.

Because the things in the windows are a bit far away, the warehouse is quite big.

"I'll try a small one first." Shen Cong observed carefully and said.

After that, she put her hand on the window frame, and then stared at the woven bag closest to the two sisters.

In his mind, he drew the image of a woven bag silently.

In an instant, the bag disappeared under the eyes of the two of them.

In a blink of an eye, it appeared at the feet of the sisters.

This is the first time Shen Xi has seen her sister take things from the air. Although she has seen her "conjuring tricks" many times before, she is still very pleasantly surprised.

She covered her mouth with her hands and pressed the exclamation into her throat.

The sisters untied the woven bag, and the surprise turned into disgust.

The two snorted at the same time.

In that bag was a mess of summer clothes.

There are vests, shorts, various small T-shirts, and some small suspenders and the like.

There are so many, a full bag is stuffed.

But the key is that the clothes in there really don't meet the aesthetics of the two people.

They are all fluorescent colors or black and gray, full of letters and skeletons, and the clothes are either ripped or all kinds of braids.

It's all the kind of goods that are at the forefront of fashion.

This fashion has to be the fashion of three years ago, at least in the eyes of the two sisters now, it is a capital Low.

Shen Xi looked at the bag and said to Shen Cong: "Otherwise, you can put it back. ?"

Shen Cong cut, but did not refuse.

Just under my sister's nose, the bag was sent back to the warehouse again.

After that, instead of dismantling the "blind boxes" of those woven bags, she put her thoughts on the display stand that was closest to her and looked relatively new.

Soon, a display rack disappeared from the warehouse.

Another one followed.

Shen Xi didn't dare to blink, and was completely unwilling to miss this kind of sight that people would not necessarily see in a lifetime.

She just watched her sister put away more than a dozen shelves in the warehouse.

I was surprised at first, but looked calm and finally able to command.

"Take that one, the first one on the left, the new one."

"Get out those two cotton mops, too, so you can use them on the third floor."

"Yes, yes, a garbage bucket too. There is also that big trash can, take it back to store fertilizer!"

Seeing that her sister was in high spirits, she was happier than herself. She took out a large plastic box and threw it into her arms.

"What is this?" Shen Xi was taken aback by her.

"Hold it, let's go." Shen Cong strode forward without looking at her.

"I don't want anything inside?" Shen Xi turned to look again, with a reluctant expression on his face.

"Yes, but we don't want it anymore." Shen Cong replied without turning his head.

Chapter 45

Shen Cong had collected twenty shelves from the warehouse just now, and these shelves were enough to fill the top floor of Fulin.

And there are so many cut steel frames in the space, and they are all materials that can be used as shelves.

Even if these are not taken into account, when preparing the materials, they made a number of seedling racks according to the size of the house and placed them in the space.

This time, my father-in-law meant to let her find a chance to take out those shelves.

In this case, those shelves in the warehouse here are no longer useful to their home.

Taking it back is also placed in space, so it is better to give it to those who need it more.

"Sister, let's go back quickly, and let the people in the community come over and take everything away. If you go back late, if someone else comes over again." Shen Cong said quickly as he walked.

Shen Xi was also nervous after hearing this, and nodded quickly: "Okay, let's hurry back, this thing can't be cheap for others."

When they came, they met several groups of people on the road.

Even if those people didn't notice it before, but if they saw someone entering and they were curious, it would be hard to say who could take the things away.

The two no longer hesitated, and they didn't even bother to rest, they left the ruins and returned to the community as quickly as possible.

In order to be faster on the road, Shen Cong emptied the tricycle.

It wasn't until she got to the gate of the community that she put those big plastic boxes, light strings, pegboards, etc. that she had picked up at the periphery of the ruins on the car.

After entering the hospital, the two of them went to the property department without even going home, and asked Cao Hongmin to come and tell them what they found in the morning.

Then I took him to see what was on the tricycle.

Hearing that a large warehouse full of supplies had been found, Cao Hongmin's eyes almost lit up! When looking at the Shen sisters, it was almost like looking at two gods of wealth.

He immediately called together all the labor force that could be called up in the whole community, including those who were still picking up rubbish at the top, were also called over.

Lao Cao told everyone about the discovery of the two sisters, and decided to gather the strength of the whole community to bring those things back!

In order to race against time and rush to the ruins before they are found elsewhere, Lao Cao asked everyone to set off immediately.

At the same time, he also sent one of the most shrewd security guards to ride to the town to find all the people who went out to work in the community.

If you can get these materials, it must be much more than what you get paid for a day's work outside!

Knowing that new supplies can be obtained, people in the community are also excited.

Even though it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, the hottest time of the day, no one raised any doubts about it.

Lao Cao gave everyone half an hour to prepare, and let the people in the community go home to clean up.

As much as possible, bring all the tools that can transport the goods, and set off in the small square after half an hour.

Everyone left in a hurry and went back to prepare.

The Shen sisters are also going home to put the contents of the tricycle back.

But he was pulled by Lao Cao.

"I'll find someone to deliver it to you, come here, drink some water first." Lao Cao pulled the sisters to the only surviving office on the property to sit down, and enthusiastically handed over a cold white cup.

"No, we'll bring it ourselves." Shen Cong refused, and then patted a sports bottle on his shoulder.

Lao Cao didn't let it go, but asked about the specific details of what they saw. The focus was on the location of the warehouse and its current situation. Would there be any danger if the door was opened directly?

After an earthquake, everyone was afraid, but also accumulated a lot of experience.

I know that many dilapidated houses don't look like they are okay, but they are often fragile like eggshells, which can be broken with a poke.

Materials are important, but human life is more important.

Shen Cong also knew this deeply, so she looked at the building carefully before approaching it.

Although she is not an architectural designer, and she doesn't know much about load-bearing and the like, she is an advertising designer anyway!

The ability to draw is still there.

She used the pen and paper of the property to draw the outline of the ruins, especially the situation of the building, to Lao Cao.

Although it is only the simplest sketch, the places that should be marked are clearly marked, making it clear at a glance.

I had heard Gu Kai introduce Shen Cong as a designer in a proud tone before, but no one had ever seen her real work.

With such a small gesture, she shocked Lao Cao directly.

He took the paper and gasped in amazement.

In the past, he always thought that Shi Lei, the interior decoration designer, was too good. He didn't expect that the girl from the Shen family was no worse than him!

Seeing that his sister and Lao Cao were talking about the ruins, Shen Xi didn't stay at the property, but sent the car home with the little security guard.

Because their sisters were there, the property didn't notify the Shen family when they had the meeting just now, and the family was still busy on the roof at the moment!

Seeing that she came back so early, she was still with the security guard, Shen Cong didn't follow, and everyone came down from the roof.

Gu Kai was the first to ask: "Where's Mong Mong?"

"Where is the property, I'm talking to Lao Cao."

Shen Xi picked up the boiled water hanging on the table and drank half of the glass in one breath before wiping his mouth. What happened in the morning simply told the family.

"Take all our bicycles and tricycles with you. It's 20 minutes before the meeting time. Mom, you help us get a stutter, and I haven't eaten our lunch yet! Dad, you all pack up, and we'll see you later. I have to go with us."

"I'm going, I'm going too!" Tongtong saw that her mother was going to leave him and her sister aside again, and went out by herself, and immediately quit.

"I can work too, I can do anything!" He puffed up, clenched his small fists, and made a strong gesture.

Seeing what her brother said, Shan Shan also joined in the fun, jumping on her feet and shouting, "I can do it too, I'm going too!"

"You two are staying at home, it's too hot outside, what are you doing out? Grandma will turn on the fan for you."

Cheng Ru, who originally felt that she was about to suffer from being held back because she was stuck at home every day, stopped complaining now, and immediately went to comfort her two grandchildren.

However, Shen Xi thought of the two children who were called from the top of the property just now from his own children.

It was two boys who looked about the same age, about ten years old.

It can be seen that the family raised very well before, they have been short of food for almost two months, and the two children still have some flesh on their faces, which looks round.

But such a child has now followed the adults in the family to pick up garbage on the high floor.

Although it can be seen that the adults are well protected, they are wearing masks and gloves on their hands, but they are still dirty, and there are signs of broken arms and knees.

Her Tongtong will be seven years old in half a year, how much can she go wrong with those two children?

If he has been protected by his family like this, and he doesn't even give up the door, what ability will he have to survive in the more and more difficult days in the future?

He may not even be as good as the Cancan mentioned by his sister.

"Let them both follow." Shen Xi said decisively.

"Mom, you go too, put on long sleeves and a hat, there's no danger there, as long as you pay attention, you'll be fine. You all go have a look."

Today is the first time Shenxi has walked out of the community, although not much. Far away, the touch that can be received is definitely not something that can be felt by staying in the courtyard.

In this case, let everyone go out and have a look, feel it, and prepare early.

Shen Xi told everyone what he thought, the whole family was understanding people, and even if they were a little worried about their children, no one objected.

Since we are going to go out together, we must act immediately, time is running out.

Knowing that the two grandsons were also going, Cheng Ru didn't care about her daughter, so she led the two children upstairs to change clothes.

Shen Jianyi went to the back room to find the kind of child seat that he bought before that could be tied to the front bar of the bicycle, and tied it to the car at home.

Shen Xi ran to the kitchen to find something to eat, and after eating three or two bites, Gu Kai had already followed before he left.

Seeing him, Shenxi immediately laughed, and said helplessly, "I've prepared the things for Mong Mong."

Seeing him standing still, he simply grabbed the pancakes that were already in the bag next to him and stuffed a small packet of mustard into his. Hand: "Let's go, let's go, don't worry if I don't let you send you, hurry up and send it to your daughter-in-law."

Gu Kai didn't refuse, he pursed his lips and smiled and took the things and left.

When he arrived at the property, Shen Xi had just finished drawing the drawings.

Seeing what Gu Kai was holding in his hand, Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, then patted his head regretfully and said, "Oh, why did I forget that Xiao Shen hasn't eaten yet? Hurry up, you eat first, I will let them first. Get ready. You two don't go to the square either, go straight to the gate after eating."

After that, he took the drawings and went to the courtyard to study with someone who knew how to do it, and went to prepare the tools.

Shen Cong actually ate a piece of chocolate on the way back, not too hungry now.

But looking at her husband's caring eyes, she honestly ate the pancakes and pickles, and then drank half a pot of water.

By the time they had finished eating and rushed to the door, the main force had basically gathered. Gu Kai looked at it and said, "Go and ride a tricycle."

There were about 60 or 70 residents following the community, not many young adults, mostly old people and women, and a few half-old children. .

The possible means of transportation are limited.

Even if the bicycles lent to Yingshui Village were all returned first, there were only fifteen or six bicycles, five flatbeds, two tricycles, and one ash bucket truck that transported cement at the construction site.

Other than that, there are bits and pieces of homemade tools.

What kind of small carts with wooden boards and universal wheels, some homemade poles made of bamboo poles and wooden sticks, and several old men and women pushed out the carts that used to buy vegetables at home.

Seeing such a team, Shen Cong suddenly felt sad.

She knew that her husband felt sorry for her for asking her to ride a tricycle. After all, most of the people in the team had to walk, and she and her sister had been out for a long time in the morning, and they had also used their abilities, which consumed a lot of energy.

Shen Cong didn't reject this kindness, walked to his tricycle, and carried Tong Tong up first.

Then he looked at it, and waved to the little girl who was following an old lady not far away.

The girl was probably under ten years old, and she might have been confined to the house by her family before and she was not allowed to go out.

The little girl clings to her grandmother or grandmother tightly, a little timid.

Seeing Shen Cong beckoning, the old lady smiled gratefully at her, hurriedly pulled her granddaughter over, and put the girl directly in the car.

Then he said to the child, "Yuanyuan, listen to Auntie's words and sit obediently. Grandma will pick you up when you get there."

Then she thanked Shen Cong again.

Shen Cong looked at the team again, and waved to the two aggressive boys.

After all, the two children were a little older, so they shook their heads desperately, knowing that they were embarrassed.

Seeing them here, Shen Cong didn't persuade him, but took off the cutting machine tied to the back seat of Dad's bicycle and put it at Tongtong's feet.

Originally let her ride a bike for a little leisure, but who would have thought that she had two children and put a machine.

Gu Kai looked at his wife helplessly, but couldn't say anything to complain.

The team set off soon.

Shen Cong and Xiao Qian rode a tricycle and walked in front of the team.

She had children in her car, and Xiao Qian's car was loaded with various tools, and both cars were full, and they rolled into deep ruts on the road.

Behind them is a team of bicycles.

The Shen family's car was the most conspicuous in the group. There were three cars in total, two of which were two-eighth bars and a very light and small folding bicycle.

Shen Xi rode the folding bike, and Shen Jianyi and Gu Kai rode the two 28 bars respectively.

Shen Jianyi's car carried Shan Shan in the front and his daughter-in-law Cheng Ru in the back; Gu Kai's car carried a younger boy in front of him, with his father Gu Zhengchu in the back.

Behind the Shen family's car, Yishui'er's shared bicycles took people who could take them.

But even so, many residents followed on foot behind the convoy.

This is the first group trip in the community.

Although it was noon, when there were few pedestrians on the road, such a mighty team still alarmed all the people passing by.

The people from Yingshui Village were the first to follow. They found Lao Cao and asked them what they were doing.

Lao Cao has always been well-rounded, so how could he tell them the truth?

Haha, after fighting for a long time, I didn't reveal a word of serious content. Hearing that the people of Yingshui Village were in a hurry to get angry, but they did nothing.

When they were in the office before, Lao Cao and Shen Cong had discussed it. The things they discovered today must not be hidden. Since people outside will know sooner or later, they simply hide it.

Anyway, if I go today, no matter how many times I have to go back and forth, I must transport all the things back to the community.

After shipping it back, it doesn't matter if others know it or not.

Because of the large number of people and the heavy load, the time spent on the road was naturally longer than that of the Shen Cong sisters riding alone. It was almost two o'clock when they arrived at the ruins.

At this time, Shi Lei and the entire workforce in the community have all arrived, and have already started to clear things out.

Seeing them, Shi Lei quickly walked out of the ruins.

He first met with Lao Cao and the others, and then assigned work to everyone.

Although Shi Lei also studied design, he had been dealing with houses before, and he definitely knew more than Shen Cong about how to prevent that dangerous building from collapsing.

He took away all the people who could work, such as Gu Kai and Xiao Qian. He also took away the machines they brought, including the external power supply, and the Shen family's cutting machine.

This is the most difficult project to gather all the young and strong forces of the community.

As for Father Shen, Father Gu, and sisters of the Shen family, Lao Cao assigned them to several teams, each team going in one direction and picking up supplies on their own.

Cheng Ru and two other elderly ladies were assigned to guard an open space. After each team had collected the supplies, they would be stacked here, and then transported back to the community by specialized personnel.

Of course, in addition to looking at things, they also have another task, which is to be optimistic about the children.

After the work was assigned, everyone was busy.

Although the Shen sisters had been here before, they didn't actually go deep inside.

They just walked around the periphery and found the warehouse, and they didn't go into the mall at all.

So even though Shen Cong once swept around, the things she took away were nothing compared to the rest.

In the past few days, people in the community have picked up the experience of picking up garbage. Many things that are useless in Shen Cong's eyes, everyone has also collected them together.

For example, some discarded plastic hangers, and models that are all broken.

The question is - "These things are collected at the junk station."

After this, the ruins are full of treasures.

In less than an hour, the vacant lot was about to be filled.

Lao Cao was the first to find out that something was wrong. He immediately found all the team leaders of each team, pointed to the trash and said to them: "Don't need these, first pick up the ones that we can use and bring back to the community. I want to pick up these junk. When you come and pick it up by yourself tomorrow, the dry food community sold at that time will not take a cut."

With these words, the efficiency finally improved.

Because of the lack of means of transportation, people in the entire community worked all day and night, and it was not until the next afternoon that all the things worth taking away from the ruins were moved back.

For more than 20 hours, many people did not eat a single bite of food, and persisted with perseverance.

A few children were okay at first, but they couldn't carry it in a few hours. When the adults were transporting supplies back, they and a few old people were transported back first.

But even so, the little guys stayed at the scene for a long time, and all of them were very sensible.

Including the youngest Shan Shan, she only hummed a few times when she was extremely sleepy at the end. She had been very well behaved before and did not cause any trouble for adults.

Difficulties can always make people grow quickly.

Although everyone was exhausted in the past two days and felt more tired than carrying a large bag outside, but everyone was in a very excited state of mind.

Because according to the regulations of the community, most of these things will be distributed to everyone after they go back. People just do the math and feel that they can get a lot of things.

Such joy is enough to support people to do many things.

On the second day after collecting the things, except for a few people who were still thinking about the garbage in the ruins that had not been brought back, and went to pick them up, most of the people in the community did not go out and rested at home for a whole day.

Especially the young people who participated in the warehouse excavation yesterday.

Because those warehouses are all on the first floor, and half of them are buried under the ruins, if you want to take out the things inside, you must dig out the passage.

Therefore, most of the energy of the young people in the community is spent on moving stones and digging passages.

This project is very large, and the key is very tiring.

After 10 to 20 hours of drying, even the strongest person has to peel off.

Fortunately, they have gained a lot.

In addition to the warehouse that the Shen Cong sisters saw before, Shi Lei and the others also found many other things in the old building.

For example, air conditioners that have not been removed in each office, vacant drinking buckets, large iron cabinets, and other scattered office appliances.

They even found a loading and unloading truck that the mall used to load and unload heavy objects, an electric tricycle, and several flatbed trucks with good bearing capacity.

These things have a huge effect on the community.

At night, the hurried whistle sounded again in the already calm community.

But this time everyone was not surprised, but rather excited.

Everyone spontaneously walked towards the central square.

Because it has been said before that during the day, the people on the property will classify all the things that everyone brings back, and then report the results to everyone at night.

In addition, the things that can be distributed to each household will be distributed tonight.

So, everyone is looking forward to this moment.

Chapter 46

When Shen Cong and the others arrived, the property staff had already carried some supplies to the center of the square.

In order to let everyone see more clearly, they even turned on five emergency lights extravagantly to illuminate the middle position and make those things look more conspicuous.

When the people watching the community gathered, Lao Cao briefly summed up the big action of gathering all the members of the community this time, and of course he also focused on praising the Shen sisters.

Said they were the biggest contributors to this harvest.

Then they talked about the way the materials were distributed this time.

Because the materials are not food, neither can they be calculated by the catty, nor can the actual price of each item be estimated.

Therefore, it can only be divided into several piles according to the approximate value, and then it is up to everyone to choose by themselves.

The staff of the community are divided into grades in the form of points according to the degree of this contribution.

The two Shen Cong sisters got the most points because of their greatest contribution value, and each got ten points.

Two young people were hit by falling rubble while carrying goods. One injured his head and the other smashed his hand.

Although the injury is not serious, it will definitely take a few days to go out to work.

So the two of them got eight points, which was regarded as a subsidy for not being able to work these days.

Others can get five points, three points, two points according to the amount of effort, and even a few children who go out with adults have given one point as encouragement.

Because the community has gained a lot this time, the ratings given to everyone are also very generous.

The people who did the heavy work basically gave them five points, even the frail people who only picked up garbage on the periphery and the two ten-year-old children gave them three points.

Cheng Ru and the other two old ladies only stayed in the ruins for half a day, and they went back early because they had to take care of the children, so they each got two points.

There is no objection to such a rating.

This scoring standard, Lao Cao came to Shen's house to discuss with his family in advance.

After all, if you want to talk about losses, the Shen family will suffer the most in the entire community.

In the early days of the earthquake, there were regulations in the community, and individuals could take 20% of the resources they found outside.

But this batch of supplies is too much, and it is too important to the lives of the people in the community. If the Shen family takes 20%, it is very likely to arouse public opinion.

Lao Cao said frankly and bluntly said that this time the Shen family sisters really suffered, but there was no way to take care of other people's emotions.

In the future, the community will find ways to compensate the two sisters in other ways.

Shen Cong and the others naturally agreed.

The order of selection on stage is from high to low, and the Shen family sisters are the first to pass.

The two walked around the center of the square and found that the points required for this thing were marked on each item, just like a price list.

You can use your points to choose, of course, you can also collect enough points to choose a more expensive one.

The sisters discussed it and called the whole family up together.

Gathering the strength of the whole family, I chose a large coffee table that is commonly used in the office, four folding steel tube leather seats, and a tin cabinet.

In addition, I chose a few small plastic baskets and a few small benches to spend the points cleanly.

Seeing their family all go up together, many of the people below showed nervous expressions.

After all, people know that the most valuable of these things are those shelves, which can be used as seedling racks immediately after taking them back.

Many people are now in series-connection below, hoping to gather the strength of several people to win one.

When the time comes, it can be moved to a new house and placed in the house, or even in the corridor, and you can grow and order dishes at will, which is labor-saving and convenient.

Everyone was worried, the Shen family's collection of points was also aimed at the nursery racks.

So when they saw what they chose, they all showed surprised expressions.

Even Lao Cao couldn't hold back, and suggested: "Uncle Shen, don't you choose a shelf? Anyway, choosing one can save a lot of trouble!"

"Hey, isn't my steel-framed house collapsed? In a few days, we dismantled it and made a few shelves, which are enough.

Let this shelf be left to others, we won't occupy it, let's solve the table for eating first." Shen Jianyi patted the coffee table, explained.

Hearing what he said, people suddenly realized!

In the past few days, people have also passed by their door, and from time to time they heard the sound of a cutting machine inside.

But the walls of their house are high, and once the door is closed, no one knows what is going on inside, so no one knows that they are welding iron frames at home!

Thinking of dismantling such a large steel frame house into a small nursery frame, many people couldn't help shaking their heads in amazement.

I feel that I have to owe a lot to the Shen family, otherwise, I can't do this job in another family.

The choice of the Shen family surprised many people in the community, but the people behind them were no longer humble.

After Shen Cong and the others went up, the two injured boys looked like they had negotiated under the ground. After going up, they didn't hesitate to choose a shelf.

A shelf is ten points, and two people have a total of sixteen points.

They didn't waste the rest, and they all chose plastic sorting boxes that can serve as water collection, fertilizer accumulation and so on.

These are all the hot items tonight, and the people behind them get nervous when they go down.

While calculating what the points of his family and friends can add up to, he stared at the center of the square without making a mistake, for fear that the things he wanted would be chosen first by others.

As everyone stepped forward, there would be various voices of discussion, amazement or regret.

In short, the community tonight was a little more angry than ever before.

No matter how many people are satisfied and how many people regret, the process of selecting materials will soon end.

Because these points are calculated in advance, so in general, basically everyone got some practical things, and they are still satisfied.

After everyone selected, no one left.

After all, the pile of refrigerators and air conditioners that I picked up this time are still piled up in the square. The leaders of the community have to give everyone an opinion on what to do with these things.

Soon, Shi Lei walked up to the front and said to everyone: "Tomorrow, I'm going to choose a few people to go to the city with me, and then I'll bring one or two of these things to see if there is any sales.

It is useless to keep these things in our community, and it is waste for us to not call for a while.

But in the town these days, we heard that some key units in Beining have started to supply electricity. We are going to ask them if they can accept it. Collect air conditioners and freezers.

If you do, it will definitely be much more expensive than selling it to a junkyard."

Hearing him say this, the people below started a new round of discussions.

This is really good news!

Although it is only a call from key units, does this mean that other places can also see some light?

There is no electricity and no running water in the 40-degree weather, which really makes people accustomed to modern life unlovable.

Shi Leirong made a pressing gesture after talking for a few words, and then continued: "Whoever wants to go to the city with us tomorrow can come and sign up with me tonight. If there is anything in a hurry, If you need our agency, you can come and talk.

But we have to say in advance, don't let us find someone. No one knows what's going on in the city right now, and we're going to do business again, so it's impossible to find someone. After Shi Lei finished speaking, the

meeting naturally ended.

Everyone left the square with their trophies.

As a result, not long after they got home, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Cong opened the door, but found a man standing outside . A little girl who she is not familiar with.

The girl should be less than twenty years old, and she is very beautiful. She is wearing a pair of ripped jeans and a large black T-shirt.

Short hair, because it is too long . I couldn't see the hairstyle, so I used a black rubber band to tie the top of my head indiscriminately. The

little girl should have been a very fashionable girl before.

Her head has been dyed, and it is still a very beautiful light color. Pink.

It's a pity that so long has passed, because there is no chance to complement the color, black hair has grown at the root.

It's just bunched up like this, the top is pink and the bottom is black, it looks like a small flower on the top of the head It's blooming, and one can't help but be impressed.

Shen Cong felt that if he had seen this girl before, he would definitely be impressed, but she really didn't remember it at all.

Seeing Shen Cong's doubts, the girl pointed her finger. Not far away, he explained: "Sister Shen, I am Sun Qing who lives in the third row and the fourth, and my aunt knows me. I want to discuss something with you. I don't know if it's okay? "The

third row and the fourth villa are two rows away from the Shen family.

There is also a single house there, but unlike the small single house like the Shen family, the four villas over there are the facades of the community, and each of them is very well built. It's beautiful, it's very large, and of course it's expensive.

And the location of the four villas is very good, and only the one closest to the outside collapsed in this earthquake.

The reason for the collapse was because the courtyard wall separating the villa area and the upper floors collapsed, crushing it in half, but it didn't collapse.

It's enough to prove how good the quality of the house there is.

It's just that Shen Cong has never seen anyone living there before, let alone this girl named Sun Qing.

But since she reported herself to her family and said that she had something to discuss with her family, Shen Cong naturally had no reason to keep people out, so she let her in.

Cheng Ru really knew her and was startled when she saw her.

"Qingqing, why are you at home? When did you come back, who else is at home, are your parents back?" The

girl Chong Ru smiled shyly and said, "Auntie, I've been back long ago, the earthquake started I was there when I was there. It was just that I was injured a little and didn't go out too much. It was my boyfriend who participated in community activities, so you didn't see me much." Hearing that the

girl was injured, Cheng Ru asked a few more questions. , and even specifically looked at the injuries on her arms and calf, until the girl repeatedly confirmed that her injuries were healed, and she finally felt relieved.

Only then did she remember to introduce the girl to Shen Cong.

"This is Sun Qing. Her father and your father are fish friends. They used to go fishing together. Her mother cooked good dishes and made kimchi. In the past, when kimchi was cooked, it would always be shared with our old neighbors. One point.

Sun Qing went to college abroad before, and she didn't usually come back, so you don't know each other." At

this point, she turned her head and asked, "Oh, by the way, Qingqing, I remember your parents went to your sister's place in the capital. Now, you said that your sister is about to give birth, and you are going to serve her confinement. They haven't come back? How are you now, have you been in touch?"

Sun Qing shook her head.

Her expression was a little dejected: "My parents went to my sister's place, and they originally told me to go too. But my sister is giving birth to a baby, and the family must be very busy, and I don't want to go there to cause trouble. Then Xu Bin and I will go first. back home.

Xu Bin is my boyfriend, he originally sent me back, and then wanted to play here for a few days, but who would have thought that there would be an earthquake. "

Speaking of this, Sun Qing raised her head, and she looked at Shen Cong: "Sister Shen, I want to discuss something with you, can you let me use your electricity?" I want to charge my phone. Today, Captain Shi didn't say that there were calls from Beining, I thought maybe the capital had already come?

If the phone works, I want to contact my parents. "

"Okay, go and get your phone!" Before waiting for Shen Cong to answer, Cheng Ru responded.

Sun Qing did not take out her phone immediately.

She smiled gratefully, but looked at Shen Cong and said, "Sister Shen, I don't use it for nothing. I pay. You see, a cell phone is full, can I give you a bottle of Coke? "

She said, and stretched out the hand she had been carrying behind her back, holding a red drink bottle tightly in her hand.

Shen Cong: "..."

She finally knew where the coke she saw at the property came from. "

Besides Coke, do you have anything else? she asked.

The girl bit her lip in embarrassment and said, "And two packets of chips." But..."

She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Cong: "Sister Shen, can I use potato chips? I only have two packets left. "

That look looked pitiful.

"Monggong!" Cheng Ru shouted dissatisfiedly. The

girl saw that Cheng Ru wanted to speak for her, but she obviously didn't want to take advantage of it.

Ji Zhong Sheng Zhi quickly pointed to her ear and said, "Sister, can I give you these earrings?" ? I know it's not worth the money, I'll give it to you first, we'll go out to find work tomorrow, and come back at night to give you pancakes, is that alright? As she spoke ,

she quickly removed the pair of diamond earrings from her ears and quickly put them into Shen Cong's hands.

Then she closed her hands hard, and wrapped it with her own.

A posture that she would not let go if she did not agree.

It's just that there is a faint light in his eyes.

Shen Cong sighed.

She didn't really want to make it difficult for girls to charge her phone.

The reason why I asked her what else besides coke at home?

It was because she was wandering in the courtyard every day these days and had never seen this girl before.

I saw the Coke she gave at the property again, afraid that her family had run out of ammunition and food, and only drinks were left.

After all, it is a family that my mother knows, and depending on the situation, the relationship between the mother and the girl's parents is not bad.

In this case, she definitely didn't want to watch her starve to death at home.

It's not that Shen Cong thinks too much, and it's not that he hasn't encountered such a thing in his previous life.

As the end draws nearer, many psychologically vulnerable people literally lock themselves at home until they run out of ammunition and food and then die in despair.

They would rather die than struggle in misery.

The girl was so young, Shen Cong didn't want such a thing to happen to her.

I just thought that if this is the case, I have to say hello to Lao Cao and the others and let them pay more attention.

But now, the daughter actually took off the earrings to exchange electricity with her, which made Shen Cong a little bit hard to ride a tiger.

"Show me the earrings."

At this time, Shen Xi came over, she naturally pulled the girl's hand away, and took the pair of earrings from Shen Cong's hand.

After reading it, she did not comment, but turned to look at the girl: "You just charge one phone, do you have anything else to charge?" The

girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and her face instantly filled with a surprised expression: "Can you charge anything else?"

Shen Xi looked at the earrings again and said, "This diamond is not big, but the quality is okay. This pair... I will pull a three-socket power strip for you, and you can charge it in the yard.

Within an hour, With three plugs, you can charge your phone and tablet without any problems, but if you want to do anything else, you must tell us first."

"Okay! Sister, I'll go back and get my phone now, you keep the door for me!" Sun Qing He didn't give the Shen family a chance to go back at all, so he turned around and ran away.

At that speed, it seemed that she was afraid that she would be caught back if she was slower, and told her that what she said just now didn't count.

"What are you doing!" Cheng Ru was a little annoyed.

"Qingqing's mother is a very good person. I used to be good sisters, and we can talk very well."

"That's why I agreed with her to come into the house to charge, otherwise you think I'll be charged by anyone who comes?"

Shen Xi has always been not afraid When I offended my mother, I scolded me directly: "Mom, let me tell you, sometimes you can't keep thinking about what happened in the past, the good old days are gone forever!

Sun Qing's mother used to give you pickles . , then think about it, would she still give you kimchi now?

The days are different!"

After speaking with her mother, she glared at Shen Cong: "And you, when you are calm, it still looks like a real thing, and your heart is soft. When I wake up, I don't remember anything. I was going to be out one minute late just now, so are you ready to promise her to use electricity for free? With

such a large hospital and so many people, everyone can talk about friendship, so you come here for free? !"

Shen Cong pursed her lips, she wanted to explain that she was not going to be free, and she also wanted to use charging as a bait to encourage Sun Qing to work and earn food.

But let the elder sister stare, and the words that come to her mouth are held back.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Kai walked over without a word, took his wife into his arms, and reached out to touch her head.

Shen Cong leaned against him and rubbed his face against him.

In the big night, he was forced to be fed a mouthful of dog food. Shen Xi cut it, and he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the two of them, so he turned around and left.

Gu Kai honestly ran into the house and picked up a power strip.

Sun Qing didn't know about the Shen family's argument.

She really rushed over at the fastest speed.

This time, she wasn't the only one who came, and behind him was a young man with glasses who looked a little polite.

"Sister, this is Xu Bin, my boyfriend." Sun Qing introduced to Shen Cong a little embarrassed.

Shen Cong didn't say anything, just greeted the two of them and went back to the house.

Shen Xi also came out to check the time with Sun Qing and the others.

When she went back again, she found that Shen Cong's expression was not very good, so she walked over and touched her arm: "What's the matter, just said a few words of you, you are still angry with me?"

"No." Shen Cong shook his head .

"Then what's the matter with this face?" Shen Xi was not ready to let her go.

Shen Cong hesitated for a while, but still whispered: "I know that man. I met him in my last life. He also had a girlfriend at the time, but... it's not Sun Qing."

Chapter 47

"It's not Sun Qing? Who is that?" Shen Xi was stunned by what his sister said, and asked subconsciously.

"I can't remember, it seems to be Chen or Cen. Anyway, it's not Sun Qing, that woman looks several years older than Sun Qing!"

"No?" Shen Xi couldn't help turning his head and looked out the window: " Sun Qing is very good-looking, and she looks like the kind of girl with good tutoring. That man... that man must be a few years older than Sun Qing, right?!"

Shen Cong also followed her sister's gaze towards outside the window.

The fact that there is electricity in the home has now been made public, and the Shen family is not too secretive. The lights are usually turned on at night at home.

Because it's almost nine o'clock now, and the whole community is pitch-dark. Since Sun Qing has agreed to charge, it's natural not to be too hard on Soso.

So when Gu Kai pulled the cable extension out just now, he also took out a small LED light bulb and screwed it on the lamp holder in the backyard.

Even if the led bulb is only 3w, it can bring a full sense of security in this dark night.

At this time, Sun Qing and Xu Bin were sitting on a small bench by themselves, and the two were very close to each other. Sun Qing was almost leaning against Xu Bin's arms.

Even from such a long distance, she could feel her trust in that man.

She held a book in her hand and looked at it seriously by the light.

Xu Bin looked at her quietly, with gentle eyes, and occasionally touched her little tug with his hand, with a doting expression on his face.

Even though Xu Bin does seem to be a few years older than Sun Qing, but one has a mild temperament, the other is young, and there is affection between the two, so the picture looks harmonious.

So that looking at the two people outside the window, Shen Cong was a little suspicious for a while, did he remember it wrong?

But - no.

Because they once had a holiday with Xu Bin, and the two even lost their lives, Shen Cong, who was in the community, would mix up who he was, and he would not be mistaken.

Even though the Xu Bin he saw was a little older than he looked now, his general appearance has not changed.

Besides, at that time, whoever starved to death would not be short of food, and the vampires who lived by drinking the blood of the people in the community lived a nourishing life!

Thinking of the things this person did in his previous life, Shen Cong couldn't help but look back in disgust, not wanting to look at him again.

"Are you sure it's him? He's looking for another one? Then, what about Sun Qing? No more?" Shen Xi was full of question marks.

The world right now is so poor, it lacks everything, not even gossip.

Suddenly knowing that the people around him actually have stories, Shen Xi couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"I don't know about Sun Qing's situation. It was the third year after the earthquake that I returned home. There was a gap of almost two years. Many people and things changed.

I didn't even know she was there . People exist, and the houses in the villa area didn't collapse at that time." Shen Cong said softly.

Because Tongtong and Shanshan haven't slept yet, they were both taken by Old Man Gu to do health exercises in the back room with their grandparents.

The two sisters didn't dare to speak loudly, and they were almost whispering.

Gu Kai took the ancient book and sat on the other side of the sofa while reading with the lamp on. He glanced at them from time to time, but he didn't know how to listen to what Shen Cong said.

"A lot of things in my last life were different from now. At that time, there were no people living in the high-rise in our courtyard, but a lot of people from Yingshui Village moved in."

Even at this time, Shen Cong still couldn't hide his eyes anger.

By then the drought had come.

Large tracts of land have dried up, and it is impossible to plant seeds because there is no water.

Even if it is reluctantly sown into the soil, no matter how well-maintained it is in the later stage, there are often no harvests in the end.

At that time, there were no mountains between Yingshui Village and the community, and the trip was the same as before, and it took no more than half an hour to cycle.

And the villagers of Yingshui Village are much more than there are now.

Because the city was also short of food, the government at that time suggested that everyone return to the countryside to settle down.

The government put a lot of effort into encouraging people to grow food and support themselves on their own.

So even if nothing grows in the land, the number of villagers is much larger than it is today.

So many villagers also have to eat, and if they want to eat, they have to find a way.

The only way people could think of at the time was to engage in indoor planting as advocated by Shen Cong now.

It is to use pots, boxes... all kinds of containers are filled with soil to grow vegetables and grains.

The disadvantage of this is that it cannot be cultivated in a large area, and the harvest is very small; but there are also many advantages, that is, good management, and the most important thing is water saving.

People are not afraid of harvesting less, and people plant crops with high yields, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which do not choose soil and do not have high requirements on the environment.

Sweet potatoes in particular are also very drought tolerant.

But no matter what to plant, in order to reduce sun exposure and save water, if there is a lack of materials for building greenhouses, it is necessary to find more houses that can be used.

So the villagers set their sights on the villas in the community.

At that time, there were not many aborigines in the villa area, and no one would resist when the villagers wanted to occupy those vacant houses.

Couldn't resist.

Delightful greed cannot be indulged, and the more you back down, the more they will intensify.

It’s not enough that they occupied the vacant villas. In the end, they even proposed to gather the dozen or so households that still lived in them, saying that two villas would be vacated to accommodate them, and the other houses would have to be handed over.

There is only one reason - to maximize the use of space.

Fuck max!

Which set of this house was not bought by the owner with real money?

They take up those vacant houses, and they want someone else's home? !

There are not too many houses in Yingshui Village. Why not gather the villagers together and free up the house to grow vegetables?

There are still so many empty houses in the high-rise. In order to avoid climbing the stairs, they put the vacant houses in the high-rise and use the houses in the villa area to maximize the space utilization? !

The reason why Shen Cong hated this Xu Bin was because he acted as a dog leg in Yingshui Village when the conflict between the community and Yingshui Village intensified.

He obviously lived in the villa area, but for the sake of the verbal self-interest promised there, he went door-to-door to do the work of the old owner in the community.

It is said to be doing work, in fact, it is almost the same as policy-reverse.

Especially for those who are older, or have a small family, and have disabled owners, they are really deceived and intimidated, and they just poke the morale of the community owners who have to fight to the end with the village. A mess.

In the end, several families were forced to live together by his lobbying, and the house was occupied by people from Yingshui Village.

At that time, the owners of the community itself were actually out of food, and everyone basically lived by renting the land in the village at first.

Later, when there was nothing to grow in the fields, people from the village all came to the community to grow vegetables, and everyone tried to grow stutterers in their own homes.

If this house is occupied again, except for some leaked things from the people of Yingshui Village, there is really no other way to survive.

At that time, Shen Cong was the only one in the Shen family who could be considered young.

Both Shen's father and Shen's mother were tortured by starvation and suffering. At this time, Old Master Gu was actually hanging on with his heart and spirit, and his body had long since died.

When this Xu Bin found a home to work for the Shen family and asked them to move in with the other two families, Shen Cong took out the kitchen knife and slashed at Xu Bin without saying a word!

She was determined to die at that time, and she really had the idea of ​​perishing together.

Without leaving a trace of strength in his hand, he slashed the kitchen knife straight on Xu Bin's shoulder, almost cutting off his entire right arm!

The one who came with him at that time was his girlfriend at that time, and that woman was also very splashy, and she tore and beat Shen Cong when she came up.

Another piece of flesh was bitten off by Shen Cong alive.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, not only caused a sensation in the community, but even people from Yingshui Village came to see it.

Everyone used a lot of strength to tear Shen Cong and the woman apart.

As the saying goes: "The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the stunned is afraid of dying."

Shen Cong's desperate efforts, not to mention that Xu Bin never dared to enter the door of the Shen family again, the people of Yingshui Village were also a little bit afraid of their family. point.

Fortunately, she made such a fuss, so that after her parents and father-in-law died, she lived in such a large villa as a woman, and she was not driven out.

"I hated this man at the time. It was too bad to hate this man. He and his girlfriend lived in the biggest and best villa in the whole community, but they tried their best to drive others out of the house. Sister, tell me, how bad-hearted people can be. How bad is it?"

Shen Cong lowered his head and told his sister what happened before in the calmest tone.

When she looked up and asked, she found that her husband and sister both sat beside her at some point.

Both of them looked at her with sorrow in their eyes.

"xx!" Shen Xi suddenly uttered a dirty word, and stood up suddenly: "I'll kill him!"

Frightened, Shen Cong hurriedly grabbed her.

"Sister, calm down! Those things will definitely not happen in this life." She said helplessly.

"Can't calm down!" Shen Xi was trembling with anger, and her eyes were red: "Bullying our family to such an extent, I can't spare him!"

"Don't drag me!" She said, and started to work hard again. She struggled to get her sister to let go of her.

Shen Conghan came out.

When she said this to her sister, she was indeed a little shocked when she suddenly saw Xu Bin, and it was a feeling.

Another one, she wanted her family to be a little wary of him, not to be deceived by his gentle appearance.

But she didn't even think about having a conflict with him now, after all, those things didn't happen at all!

Just when Shen Cong and Shen Xi were desperately trying to break free, while the other were still fighting, Gu Kai, who was beside him with a dark face, had already stood up.

"I'm going!" he said coldly, and strode out.

Shen Cong's head suddenly became big.

"You are all ancestors!" She scolded in a low voice in anger, and she didn't care about her sister, so she quickly followed.

Just as they were going out, the timer placed in the hall suddenly rang.

The two people sitting in the backyard raised their heads at the same time.

Seeing them, Sun Qing immediately unplugged all the chargers plugged into the power strip.

Then he smiled gratefully at the three of them and said, "Thank you sister, thank you brother-in-law. I really caused you trouble today." After she said that,

she handed the phone and tablet into the hands of the boyfriend next to her, and she bent over sincerely and rushed The three bowed slightly.

Raise your hand and don't smack the smiling person.

Sun Qing's actions made all three of them speechless.

In the end, Shen Cong spoke first.

She said, "Okay, it's over, you guys can go. It's dark outside, be careful on the road."

Sun Qing smiled sweetly at Shen Cong and agreed.

It can be seen that the little girl is very happy to be able to fully charge the mobile phone.

Even the Shen family who provided her convenience were also full of goodwill.

The girl exuded kindness all over her body.

Seeing Sun Qing like this, Shen Cong opened her mouth a few times but didn't know what to say.

She had the heart to persuade the girl a few words, but what to persuade?

Nothing happened now, and even in her previous life, she didn't know what happened between the two.

She only knew that she had never seen this girl named Sun Qing, and she didn't even know that the villa belonged to her.

She only knew that the last man named Xu Bin occupied the magpie's nest and raised other women in it.

But at this moment, the two of them are so close, even in such a dilapidated environment, it can be said that they are dependent on each other. How did she say to let Sun Qing leave this man at this time?

Can't say.

And no one will listen to it.

She pursed her lips hard and swallowed her words.

At this time, Gu Kai on the side opened his mouth coldly.

He said, "Sun Qing, there is something I want to tell you."

Because she had never dealt with Gu Kai before, let alone said a word, Sun Qing was stunned when she was named so suddenly.

She immediately stood up straight and looked at Gu Kai: "Brother-in-law, tell me."

Although she couldn't understand how her "brother-in-law" could be called so familiarly?

But Gu Kai didn't correct it either.

He said in a cold voice, "Sun Qing, you should know what's going on right now. Usually, no one is willing to accept outsiders at such times, let alone let outsiders stay at home for so long."

He said this, Sun Qing's face changed suddenly, her smile disappeared, and her expression showed a bit of indescribable embarrassment.

And Xu Bin, who had been silent for a while, suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Kai with dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes.

He took a step forward and was about to argue, but was firmly grasped by Sun Qing.

Sun Qing bit her lip hard, nodded towards the Shen family again, and said quickly, "I see, I'm sorry, we'll go now."

Gu Kai opened his mouth again: "Listen to what I have to say. It's over ."

He didn't even look at Xu Bin, completely ignoring him.

Instead, he looked at Sun Qing and continued: "Your parents have a good relationship with my old man. If you call us sister and brother-in-law again, then we won't treat you as an outsider. If you

need help, you can say whatever you can. We will definitely help. If you have something to do, you can come here at any time, and no one will let you in.

But no matter what, we don’t welcome unfamiliar people in our family.”

Although he didn’t even give Xu Bin a glance, But who this other person is talking about, everyone understands.

Sun Qing's tears suddenly fell.

She wiped it with her hand, then said with her nose, "I see."

Then she pulled Xu Bin and walked towards the door.

Looking at their backs, Shen Xi couldn't hold back, and said to her: "The little girl lives alone with an outsider, and has a good eye!"

Xu Bin almost burst out!

In an instant, he was about to turn around again, but was firmly held by Sun Qing.

The two of them pulled away from the Shen family just like that.

Everyone was in a bad mood that night.

No matter how enthusiastic Shen Cong was, he couldn't be active.

After Shen Xi returned to the house, he still didn't hold back and cried.

She cried and didn't want to be seen by others, so she ran to the toilet and sobbed.

But the more this is the case, the more he sees people's hearts sinking.

Gu Kai didn't cry, but since he entered the room, he has been holding Shen Cong's hand and clenching it hard.

It hurts to hold her.

She shook it off a few times, and within a few minutes the man would come close again, and then pull her hand over and clench it tightly.

More times, she doesn't earn any more.

She knew her husband was scared and angry.

Afraid that something like that would happen again, angry that he was not by his side when he was suffering.

During the day, everyone was very tired after a day's work.

But that night, almost all of the Shen family lost sleep.

The next day, almost everyone got up late, so that the iron gate in the backyard was slammed several times before the family could hear it.

When the door rang, Shen Cong was brushing her teeth, and she didn't even go downstairs. It was Cheng Ru who opened the door.

She heard her mother talk to someone at the door for a long time, and Yingyingchuochuo heard her mother say, "Come in, it's alright."

This word was repeated several times.

Shen Cong's heart moved, and he intuitively felt that the person standing outside the door should be Sun Qing who left last night.

Why is she here again? Running out of battery on your phone overnight?

Shen Cong quickly rinsed his mouth and prepared to go downstairs to have a look.

Then I heard my mother shouting from below: "Xixi, come down here, Sun Qing is looking for you."

Shenxi opened the window and shouted down through the corridor: "I see, right now!"

Shen Cong leaned together Went to my sister's window and asked, "Why is she looking for you?"

Shen Xi was also at a loss.

She yawned and said uncertainly, "The phone is out of power again? Is this too fast?"

"I don't know." Shen Cong shook his head.

But after thinking about it, I feel that only this possibility is the highest.

He couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is really rich!"

A pair of diamond earrings worth thousands of dollars was exchanged for the charging capacity of two mobile phones and one tablet, but the little girl used up in one night.

What is she going to get in exchange for today?

After yesterday, she definitely won't bring Coke again.

How much jewelry does this family have to have to make it like this? !

Shen Xi felt that he was used to it.

"Don't forget where she lives. People who live in such a big villa will be short of money? Don't talk about it, let's go down and see it together."

She said, closing the window and walking out.

The two sisters went downstairs together.

Sure enough, Sun Qing was waiting at the door.

Maybe because of what Gu Kai said yesterday, she didn't bring Xu Bin today, she came here by herself.

The little girl was still tied up and wore a T-shirt of the same style as yesterday, but this time it was changed to a dark coffee color.

Seeing the two sisters, she obediently called her sister twice, then handed over a ruby ​​pendant in her hand and asked, "Sister Xixi, look at how long this pendant can keep me charged. Electricity?"

Chapter 48

Shen Xi took the gem and found that it was a pigeon's blood red gem with a very pure texture.

That is, the end of the world, everyone is struggling with stuttering, and no one wants this.

If it was in the past, how could such a small piece cost tens of thousands.

Although he knew that the Sun family was rich, but seeing that Sun Qing directly charged such a piece of gemstone, Shen Xi couldn't help but ask: "Your phone is out of power again? It's used so fast? You and your parents. Are you in touch?"

Sun Qing's expression turned gloomy when she heard the question of her parents, she shook her head: "No, there is no signal on the phone, the base station here should not be repaired."

After that, she did not answer . Shen Xi had two other questions, but continued to ask persistently: "Sister Xixi, can this pendant be used for charging?"

"Yes, yes. But do your parents know, don't wait for your mother to come back, you can put her The family property is finished."

Sun Qing smiled.

Maybe she could hear the kindness in Shen Xi's tone, and her body relaxed a little.

A bit naughty, he winked at her and said, "Don't worry, sister, if my parents knew that I could trade these things for my life, they would only praise me for being smart, and wouldn't scold me.

" What does charging have to do with survival, but this girl really has an innate temperament to be close to people, and it is difficult for people who have been in contact with her to dislike her.

Shen Xi didn't ask any more, but sighed and said, "Okay, you can charge it if you want, this gem counts for two hours for you. It

's still a power strip with three plugs, in addition to mobile phones, tablets, laptops, charging If you have anything else, please say hello first."

"Sister, can you use a power bank?"

"Yes, no more than two hours."

"Bluetooth earphones, rechargeable emergency lights, flashlights, and radios are okay too?"

Shen Xi looked at her: "Do you have so many things to charge in your house?"

Sun Qing pursed her lips and looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay, you can charge these low-power things if you want."

Shen Xi beckoned: "Come in, sit in the courtyard, it's hot outside."

Sun Qing shook her hand vigorously.

"Sister, don't bother, I'm here with a bench. You drag a wire out, and I'll charge it outside the door."

She pointed to the gap under the iron door: "Just hand it out from here, I I just looked at it, the length of the extension board yesterday should be enough."

Is this because what Gu Kai said yesterday made the little girl feel scruples?

Shen Cong persuaded: "You don't get in the way of sitting in the yard. What my husband said yesterday was not aimed at you."

"I know, I know." Sun Qing nodded heavily.

But still very stubbornly refused to enter the gate of Shen's house, just let them pull the wire to the door.

Shen Cong didn't argue with her anymore, and dragged a line out in person, and found that the little girl's things were really well prepared.

She took a cardboard box and put it outside the iron door, took the power strip and put it directly in the box to prevent the Shen family's things from getting dirty.

Because the weather was too hot, sitting in front of Shen's house for two hours was equivalent to two hours of exposure to the scorching sun.

In addition to a small bench, Sun Qing also brought a parasol and a water bottle.

Plus the thick book from yesterday.

Seeing that she was so well prepared, Shen Cong didn't say anything else and turned back.

As soon as he returned to the house, Shen Xi came over and said, "Where's that man? He didn't come with him?"

"Yesterday Gu Kai said that, how could he be so embarrassed to come with him?"

"Since he knows he's ashamed, how can he be so embarrassed to let his girlfriend come over to charge?" Shen Xi muttered angrily.

"Who knows." Shen Cong replied.

Because she didn't like Xu Bin, she didn't want to discuss topics related to this person at all, and went upstairs without saying a word to her sister.

Gu Kai got up early in the morning. At this time, he had already filled the two large water tanks in the house. At this moment, he and his father-in-law were watering the vegetable seedlings on the roof of the fourth floor.

They spent a day yesterday transplanting all the vegetable seedlings on the third floor. Because of the temperature change, some of them became wilted. Two people are rescuing them.

Seeing Shen Cong coming up, Gu Kai asked, "Why did she come here again? Why did she take so many mobile phones? Where did she get it?"

"What mobile phone?" Shen Cong was a little strange.

Gu Kai pointed downstairs.

From the platform on the fourth floor, you can have a panoramic view of the situation in front of the house, but because of the railings and seedling racks, you can't see the scene upstairs from the bottom.

So when Sun Qing came, Gu Kai and the others saw it, and at this time she could see clearly what she was doing downstairs.

Shen Cong leaned over the gap between the railings and looked down, and saw that there were three mobile phones plugged into the power strip in front of Sun Qing, and the brand appearance was different from the one she was holding yesterday.

"Where did she get so many mobile phones?" Shen Cong was also very strange.

"Wouldn't it be to help others charge?" Gu Kai replied thoughtfully.

There is this possibility.

But——when my sister told Sun Qing about the conditions, she only said what can be charged within two hours, and did not say that it can only be charged by herself.

This is to let the little girl take advantage of the loophole, and she actually started to resell?

After thinking about it, Shen Cong was really angry and funny.

"Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. It's her business how she uses it for two hours. The ruby ​​is always something real. People bought it with money, and they didn't take advantage of us."

Gu Kai was not a lover at first . Nosy, his wife said so, naturally he won't talk any more.

The three didn't stay upstairs for a few minutes when the door was knocked again.

From upstairs, you can clearly see that the person standing at the door is Shi Lei, this time the three of them walked down together.

Shi Lei came to borrow a tricycle. They were going to the city, and a tricycle was definitely not enough.

Naturally, the Shen family couldn't refuse to agree to this.

After pushing the tricycle out to him, Shen Jianyi also asked, "Would you like to take my bicycle away? My two bicycles are fine for pulling goods."

Shi Lei quickly shook his head: "Uncle, thank you, no need. If we really ride the car away again, you won't be able to go out these days. This has already caused you a lot of trouble."

Hearing what he said, Shen Cong suggested: "Captain Shi, it's best for you to go this time. You can see if there are any transportation vehicles in the city. You don't have to have three wheels, and see if there are any electric vehicles or the like.

Now that there is no electricity everywhere, these cars may be cheaper. But it can't always work, can it? Isn't it already connected to some places in the city? Sooner or later, we will have electricity here, right? "

Shi Lei nodded: "I also plan to do so. But I really didn't think about the electric car, Xiao Shen, you are a good reminder, we will definitely look for it this time.

Alas, I don't know when I'll be able to get the oil. The loading and unloading truck we got back without oil is useless at all. It's like an iron lump. "

"I find it difficult." "Shen Cong directly poured a basin of cold water.

"I saw the government organize manpower to dig a collapsed gas station in the city before, saying that they wanted to collect the oil tanks below. Needless to say that must be the state collecting energy. "

Shen Cong didn't say anything after that, but all the people present were sensible people. The country has to take away the oil from the gas station, so it must be closed for the private vehicles. In

the future, whether it is gasoline or diesel, only There will be more and more shortages.

Shi Lei's expression suddenly became serious.

Shen Cong sighed: "Captain, let me give you a suggestion, but I don't know if it can be done? "

" you said. "Shi Lei's attitude is very sincere.

"I suggest you buy gasoline in our courtyard in the name of the community. Although many people in our hospital were affected, there are still some cars that are well preserved.

I don't know if everyone will be willing to give it, but it's a little bit if you can get it.

After you get the gasoline, hurry up and do the big work in the community, and then get rid of the car.

I am afraid that the later it is, the harder it will be to deal with it, and I will finally hit my hands.

Shi Lei nodded without hesitation, and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Lao Cao when I go back, and he has to do this . After that ,

he looked at Shen Cong very sincerely and said, "Thank you Xiao Shen, hey, I don't know what to say, anyway, we are really lucky to have you and your family in our community.

If there is anything in the future, we still need to communicate more, and if there is any news, we will communicate with each other in advance. He said two more words

and hurried to leave, because he knew that they had to hurry and go back to discuss matters with Lao Cao, so the Shen family didn't stay any longer. Just when     he

reached the door, Shi Lei paused.

He pointed to the wire from the door leading to the outside, and then pointed to the door, his expression hard to describe.

"What's the matter with the girl at the door? Does she use your appliances? "

"It was a neighbor's child who said he wanted to charge his mobile phone, so we pulled a cable and went out." What's wrong, doesn't this work? Cheng Ru explained.

"That's not true." You can use your own electricity for anyone you want, that is... She is selling electricity, you know? "

"Selling electricity?" "Shen Xi called out first.

Because Shen Cong had seen it upstairs, he had a little guess, but he wasn't too surprised.

But Shi Lei walked past the door and found that Sun Qing was selling electricity...

What the hell is this girl doing? What?!

A few people went out of the house together. From the

upstairs, it was actually not clear. The moment I went out, I saw it, right next to the cardboard box with the extension board, Sun Qing was still sticking a A piece of white paper with two words written on it: charging!

Below these two words, there are several lines of small characters, which is simply a price list.

Charging for food (exchangeable varieties: biscuits, instant noodles, vacuum packaging and compression) Dry food...)

Mobile phone charging: 50g dry food/time;

Tablet charging: 100g dry food/time;

Laptop charging: 125g dry food/time,

emergency light, flashlight, Bluetooth headset...

The quantity of each dry food that needs to be exchanged is clearly marked .

Not only that, in order to make the picture look better and remember better, the little girl also matched the corresponding cartoon pattern behind each price tag.

For example, ten soda biscuits with smiling faces are drawn behind the charging of the mobile phone, and two large steamed buns with akimbo behind the tablet.

Shen Cong: "..."

Shen Xi: "..." The

Shen family: "..."

Cheng Ru was the first to hold back and burst out laughing.

She still remembered what her eldest daughter nagged her last night, she didn't say anything, she just smiled and shook her hand, turned and went into the house.

The other two old men also showed helpless expressions, shook their heads, and followed in.

Shi Lei definitely wouldn't stay here too long, seeing that the Shen family was all speechless by the little girl, and didn't want to see their family embarrassed, he smiled and turned away.

So there was only Shen Cong, Shen Xi and Gu Kai left at the door.

The moment the Shen family came out, Sun Qing stood up from the small bench.

When they saw that they were all looking at the price list, their expressions were already apprehensive.

Seeing that several old people did not express their opinions, they all went in, and the three who stayed behind were all people who "educated" her yesterday, and the little girl was even more afraid.

She took a step forward and asked nervously, "Is this not possible? I won't be able to exceed two hours, and I won't be able to do it within the time limit?"

Shen Xi obviously did not expect this to happen at all, and was directly attacked by the little girl. I was stunned, and for a while I didn't know how to answer this.

Shen Cong has calmed down.

She asked, "Have you run out of food?"

Sun Qing bit her lip and didn't say a word.

"Where's your boyfriend?" she continued.

Sun Qing turned her face to one side and did not reply, but tears slowly came out of her eyes.

Seeing that the private affairs of the little girl were involved, Gu Kai didn't stay any longer, he turned around and went back to the yard.

However, Shen Xi went over and grabbed Sun Qing's hand and dragged her directly into the backyard.

"Come in and talk."

Sun Qing was unprepared, staggered under her feet, and was dragged in directly by her.

Shen Cong moved out two small stools from the room, and Sun Qing obediently went and brought her own stool in.

Shen Cong picked up her kettle and shook it, and found that there was no more water in it, so he brought it over and entered the house again.

When I came out this time, half a pot of honeysuckle herbal tea, which was brewed coolly in the water tank, had already been poured into it.

Sun Qing picked it up and poured half of the pot into it in one breath, then wiped her mouth, and said in a low voice embarrassedly, "Thank you sister."

Then she stopped talking.

Shen Xi asked again: "Where's your boyfriend, did you go out to work? When did you run out of food?"

"He's been eating from you all this time, right? Is the family's stock all gone?" Shen Cong suddenly asked.

Shen Xi raised his head in shock.

It has been more than two months since the earthquake started. How much stock can we eat now?

And it's summer, so what has been stored for so long has been spoiled.

She looked at her sister and then at Sun Qing, looking like she couldn't believe it.

Sun Qing lowered her head again.

Shen Cong looked at her sister and explained, "Yesterday Sun Qing said that they came back before the earthquake started, but few people in our yard have seen them.

Sun Qing was injured and hadn't been out of the house very much before. It's normal to see her. But the community started from the earthquake relief, until the whole community was dispatched to carry supplies a few days ago, have you met her boyfriend?"

Shen Xi recalled and shook his head.

She really had no impression of Xu Bin before.

"Earthquake relief is a matter of personal will. I don't want to come out. If we don't help, we have nothing to say. But we haven't seen him before when the community distributed materials! Don't you want anything from the government?"

Sun Qing pursed her lips and explained. One sentence: "Yes, at that time, the community will come to the door to count the population. Xu Bin will go to the property to pick it up every day, but he will go later."

Shen Xi pouted.

It seems that I still have a little self-knowledge, and I also know that I will not come out to help during the earthquake, but I will come out when I receive food, for fear of being seen by others.

"Then you have been staying at home since the government stopped distributing food, haven't you come out again? Xu Bin didn't go to work either. All you eat is what your parents left for you, right?"

Sun Qing's head drooped even lower, and it took a while before she made an "um" sound.

Because he had guessed it beforehand, Shen Cong was not surprised, but Shen Xi was already angry!

What is this? There is more than a scumbag, he is still a soft eater!

She was so angry that she wanted to open Sun Qing's head to see if it was filled with tofu scum. How could she be so confused? !

Fortunately, this was unfamiliar, which allowed her to retain her sense of proportion, but even so, Shen Xi was still very angry.

"How much food did your parents keep for you to make you do this shit?! Do you know that food is life now, your parents, your sister, your sister's children don't know if they can eat it in the capital? What about the rice!

You're better, you use the things left by your parents to support the man at home?!

If you don't want to work, what about him? He is so old that he doesn't go out to work, and he depends on you to support him? What should I do when I run out of food?"

Speaking of which, Shen Xi nodded angrily: "Yes, no need to ask what to do, you have a solution."

She pointed to the wire: "After the food is eaten, continue to make the things your parents left behind! When you finish making the money and jewelry that your parents left behind, what are you going to do? What else do you have? Can I support him?!"

Sun Qing lowered her head and didn't say a word, tears fell down her cheeks, soaking the small piece of land beside her feet, turning it into a small pit.

Talk deeply.

Shen Cong tugged at her sister, motioning her not to say too much.

After all, their relationship with Sun Qing has not yet reached the point where they can be blamed.

Seeing that the girl didn't explain, she just bowed her head and cried, a trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Cong's eyes.

She said again in a flat tone: "Sun Qing, you used gems to buy these two hours. During this time period, whether you want to sell electricity or change food, we will not interfere. But this is the last time. , you don't come in the future, and we won't sell this electricity again."

Hearing her say that, Sun Qing burst into tears.

She raised her head, looked at her sisters with tears in their eyes, and sobbed: "Sister, don't be like this, please help me, I really don't have anything to eat at home.

Xu Bin has already left, and left this morning. We had a fight when we went back last night, and he left early in the morning.

If you don't sell me electricity, I really don't know how to find food. Otherwise, I don't know anything else!"

After all, I am still young, stress, fear and panic, once I start crying, I can't hold it back.

The little girl cried directly to the ground.

Chapter 49

Shen Xi has always been hard-faced and soft-hearted. Seeing Sun Qing like this, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Shen Cong's face turned cold.

She took a step forward, pulled Sun Qing up from the ground, and said to her: "You either wipe away your tears, we sit here and talk, then you go out and cry.

I ask myself that there is nothing wrong with you in our family . You want to charge ,

we helped you, you exchanged electricity for money without our permission, without considering our thoughts at all, and we did not accuse you.

What are you crying for? You cried like this

in our yard, passing by What do your neighbors think? Everyone will definitely think that we bullied you. Sun Qing, have we bullied you?"

Sun Qing shook her head vigorously and wiped her face with her hands, wiping red marks all over her face.

She covered her mouth with her hands, trying hard to hold back the crying, her face flushed red, she couldn't stop crying, and she was embarrassed and unbearable.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xi sighed, turned back to the house, took a pack of tissues and handed it to her.

Sun Qing shook her hand and took out a small packet of napkins with only two leftovers from the bag she was carrying. She cherished one and wiped it on her face.

Seeing the little girl like this, both of them were a little speechless.

She is really a very polite and considerate child.

Now that supplies are in short supply, napkins are all good things. She cried so much that she knew not to mess with other people's things.

But she - when she mixes up, her brain is really mixed!

After Sun Qing completely calmed down, the three sat down again in the backyard.

Shen Cong asked again: "Why did your boyfriend suddenly leave? Is it because we talked about him yesterday?"

Sun Qing shook her head: "No."

She was afraid that Shen Cong wouldn't believe it, so she quickly added: "He said that he was gone a long time ago, and he said it when we were about to finish our food, saying that the environment in Beining was too bad, and he wanted me to go to the capital with him.

Xu Bin said that the capital is the capital. Whenever the situation outside is too bad, the capital will be the most stable place. And my parents are still there. If I can find them, I will go to them.     But my parents are with my sister and brother-in-law . Home, my sister just gave birth, they don't know what's going on, and I can't get in touch with them. If we go now, wouldn't that embarrass my parents?     Besides, knowing that something happened to Beining, if my parents could When I come back, they will definitely come back. They will not leave me     alone .     I am afraid that if we go and they come back, what should I do if the road goes wrong? My parents came back.     At the beginning, Xu Bin agreed, but now he eats less and less, and the community keeps asking everyone to go out to find work. If they don't go out, they have to pay for food, so he is not happy. Yesterday ,     he also insisted on asking me to borrow electricity."     The more Sun Qing said, the quieter her voice became. Obviously, she felt something was wrong when she said it herself.     Both Shen Cong and Shen Xi understood.     Xu Bin was bored in the community, and seeing that there was no food at home, and money was worthless now, Sun Qing couldn't squeeze any more oil and water, so he put his idea to the little girl's parents.     But this time, the little girl's mind is clearer, and she doesn't want to lead the way, and she doesn't agree to go to the capital with him.     He was impatient, and had several fights with Sun Qing. It was easy to persuade her to come over to charge and call her parents, but she was humiliated at the Shen family.     The humiliation was not enough, the phone still couldn't get through, and Sun Qing was still reluctant to leave. In a fit of anger, he simply abandoned her and left by himself.     The Shen sisters couldn't tell whether they were happy or pitiful for this girl.

"He just left you like this? Didn't even leave you anything to eat? Did he go to the capital by himself? Will he be back in two days?"

Shen Xi asked again worriedly.

Sun Qing shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then what are your plans for the next step?"

Shen Cong glanced at the door: "Are you going to keep reselling our electricity?"

Sun Qing's face turned red all of a sudden.

She waved her hands in panic and explained: "No, I just want to overdo it, sister, you can let me use it for a few more days, just a few days. I will go to the town to sell things tomorrow, and I just need to have a few days' rations. , a little precaution."

"What are you going to sell?" Shenxi asked.

"My dad's wine cabinet is down, and I want to pull that cabinet and sell it."

Shen Xi clicked his tongue: "I still want something from the seller."

Sun Qing's face turned even redder, and her head hung even lower. .

He explained in a low voice: "I also have the territory from the community, and I'm still learning how to cultivate the land. It's just that the rapeseeds haven't been brought back yet. I'm still waiting for the community to distribute the seeds."

Finally, I'm not really stupid.

Hearing that she had started learning how to cultivate the land, the two sisters finally felt a little relieved.

In fact, Sun Qing has nothing to do with them at all, she didn't even know each other before yesterday.

Maybe it's because they know a little about the follow-up, they can't help but worry about this girl.

Otherwise, it is impossible for them to be so harsh on an unfamiliar person.

As a rich second-generation girl, she is still the kind of girl who grows up pampered at first sight, and her parents can prepare enough snacks for two people for three months when they go out. Not bad.

Even if she doesn't recognize people with her eyes, at least she hasn't caused any trouble to outsiders so far.

Even if they re-sold the Shen family's electricity, they still paid for it.

In addition, the evil spirit is gone now, so after hearing Sun Qing's request to use their electricity for a few more days, the two sisters agreed.

After two hours of use, Sun Qing took the initiative to unplug the charging device just like yesterday, sent the things back and left.

It just ran back not long after leaving.

This time she brought a gold velvet jewelry bag full of all kinds of jewelry.

The moment she poured those jewels onto the table, the dazzling light almost blinded people.

Even Shen Xi subconsciously blocked it with his hand.

"Are you crazy, you brought all your mother's jewelry?!"

Shen Xi didn't even know what to say about this little girl, her jaw was really shaking.

Sun Qing pushed those things forward and asked, "Sister Xixi, is this enough electricity for me to use for half a month? I only use it for two hours a day."

Shen Xi didn't know how to answer, and Shen Cong also I was speechless by this little girl.

She didn't answer Sun Qing's question, but asked, "You don't need your parents' consent to take out so much jewelry from home? You also said that they should be back soon."

Sun Qing shook her hand with a rare serious expression. .

She said, "Sister Xixi, Sister Gonggong, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I'm worried that I'm not being deceived. Actually, I'm not that stupid."

She said this with a bit of embarrassment on her face . .

The little girl's eyes were still swollen, and her expression was somewhat embarrassed.

But he was serious and tried very hard to explain and explain for himself.

She said: "Xu Bin and I haven't known each other for a long time, and this is the first time he has come home with me. We can't talk about who deceives who, at most it's a favor.

It was really because I was injured that I couldn’t move, and I needed someone to take care of me. And I was terrified of living in such a big house myself.

So he was willing to stay with me, and I was willing to provide food, that is, everyone got what they needed.

I just didn't expect him to turn his face and ignore anyone so quickly, and he left in a hurry as soon as the family ran out of food.

She bit her lip so hard that she bit out a deep white mark on her lower lip. It was enough

to prove that she was just pretending to be strong, and her heart was definitely not so calm at the moment

. It was because she figured it out.

Sun Qing lowered her head and calmed down for a while before continuing: "Sister, to tell you the truth, these things are my own, which I have saved over the years. My parents don't care what I use.

For me, being alive now is more important than them. These stones just look good, but I can't eat them when I'm hungry, and they're useless to me now.

If you are willing to accept it, it is already helping me, and I am very grateful. Really appreciate it, I know no one will pick them up even if they go to the city now. "

Sun Qing has already said this, what else can the sisters say?

Shen Cong looked at her sister, and Shen Xi could only reply aloud: "Since this is the case, then let's do as you said, fifteen days, every day two hours. What do you like to charge with low power, ask for high power. "The

smile appeared on the little girl's face again.

Sun Qing agreed loudly, and then turned around and left after saying goodbye for fear that the two of them would regret it. They

all jumped when they walked.

Look at the pile of jewels on the table, and then look at them again. The little girl who was jumping high and walking, the two sisters looked at each other and shook their heads. They both saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

I don't know how to comment on this girl and the world.

The next day Sun Qing still came very early . .

This time, she didn't bother the Shen family any more. Cheng Ru opened the door for her. After plugging in the power, the girl sat obediently at the door and didn't enter again.

Shen Cong glanced from the window.

She still used a cardboard box to hold the power cord as before, but instead of all kinds of mobile phones plugged into it, she turned into three exquisite and beautiful power banks.

It looks like a style that girls like.

This is embarrassing to sell electricity at your own door, and you want to go home and sell it after charging it?

Shen Cong only thought it was funny, but also thought that this girl was really interesting.

If you say something, people will definitely change it. Not only will it change, but people will also be able to think of a more suitable replacement method.

But no matter how interesting Sun Qing's incident is, for the Shen family, it is just a small episode in life.

The fun is over, and the days have to be lived by themselves.

Today is actually a very happy day for the Shen family.

Because this morning, when the family was all right, Shen Cong took out all the vegetables that were harvested in the space and weighed them, only to find that the weight of these vegetables exceeded one hundred. Fifty pounds!

This is a number that no one thought of.

Because planting seeds indoors is something that no one has done before, and no experience.

In order not to waste the seeds, they were planted with an experimental nature, and not many were planted.

In addition, the family tree was there later, in order not to let him see the difference, Mr. Gu also removed the cloth array, so as to prevent the vegetables from growing too fast and difficult to explain.

For a variety of reasons, these vegetables are not growing very fast.

From the earliest harvest, it is almost an elder now, and it has basically been collected, and it took a total of one month.

Except for some that I ate at the earliest time, all the collected ones were placed in Shen Cong's space.

The people who received it didn't feel it, and the people who released it didn't feel it. Only after this title realized that there was a lot of gain!

You must know that this is just a small test in the house on the third floor, and the plants are still green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, water spinach, and root cabbage.

This dish is actually quite weightless.

If the planted varieties are replaced with loofah, cucumber, eggplant, etc., then the harvest cannot be doubled? !

Thinking of such a prospect, the whole family is naturally overjoyed.

"Don't sell this batch of vegetables, let's keep them for ourselves.

But Xiaokai, you should go to the market to see what kind of vegetables the government is accepting, how to quote them, and what kind of vegetables sell best?

In addition, what is the price of grain ? , you all go to inquire, and we will have a good idea when we look back.

If the price of vegetables is average, we will put this batch of seedlings in the backyard to plant, and don't plant too many, and free up the roof to try All kinds of corn and peanuts."

Shen Jianyi suggested.

"Okay, I'll go later." Gu Kai agreed.

The heavy work at home is almost done these days, so there is no need to stay at home all the time.

Although the whole family didn't want him to go out to work as a coolie, but as the only full-time laborer in the whole family, he had to go out for a walk even if he was going through a cutscene.

"I took all the scraps at home and sold everything that could be sold. It's useless to leave it there." Gu Kai said.

"The tricycle is not at home, let's sell it in a few days, don't be in a hurry." Shen Cong stopped.

On such a hot day, she didn't want her husband to go that far on a bike with such a heavy load.

"It's alright, I'll take less and take it a few times. It's better to sell it early, otherwise the more you put it away, the less valuable it will be.

The ruins of that mall have been fought several times in the past few days, and it's estimated that the contents inside are almost exhausted.

The purchase station in the town doesn't know if they can swallow it all, and the price will definitely only get lower and lower. "Gu Kai explained.

He didn't take it seriously, he said it lightly.

The family was shocked by what he said.

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at him together.

Even Shen Cong was shocked. He became curious and asked, "How many fights have you had? When, who fights whom? Why didn't I listen to you? Only

then did Gu Kai realize that what he said had caused shock, and he was also surprised: "You don't know? Those people in the community who went out to pick up garbage haven't been there for two days, haven't you seen it? "

..." No one really pays attention.

There are so many things at home these days. I have to move the newly bred seedlings on the third floor upstairs, and I     have

to help Mr. Gu to urge his Chinese herbal medicine seedlings. The

unpacked steel shelves continue to be cut into wood, and they have to attend community meetings...

There is no one in the family to be idle. Who cares about what happens outside? I

really don't know, Gu Kai has to talk to the rest of the family. I explained two sentences.

It turned out that people in the community noticed the ruins immediately after they occupied it.

It’s just that the leaders of the community were prepared for this. People, get everything back at one time.

Even if there are people who are jealous and want to take a piece of the pie, in that situation, considering the overall strength, they can only give up.

And when the people in the community are evacuated, The rest of the supplies became the objects of scramble for everyone.

Like the broken plastic mannequins that Cao Hongmin thought was too troublesome for the community to bring back, and some window frames, door frames, broken wooden boards, and walls that were too late to disassemble. The wall lamps on the top...

These things look trivial, but they can be collected together for a lot of food.

There are a lot of people who are eyeing these things, and compared with the people in the community, these people are a bit unfavorable.

It's all people like Yingshui Village who are here to open up wasteland, or other small gathering points who come out to find a living team.

When these people meet, a fight is inevitable in order to grab something and grab a territory.

At the beginning, Cao Hongmin promised that if the people in the community would send things back and pick them up, the community would not take a cut.

Although most people have come back to rest, naturally there are still some who are not afraid of hard work.

But when these people rushed to go, they all encountered this kind of battle and became a group.

After everyone discussed it, they withdrew.

Therefore, in the subsequent fight, the people in the community did not participate and were not injured.

On the contrary, it was people who went to the town to find work. In the past two days, I often saw people wrapped in gauze dragging scraps to sell. Looking at the things on the car, I knew that they were all picked up from the ruins.

Therefore, people in the community have been talking about it these days, saying that they are afraid that the people at the waste collection station will not be able to eat so much food, and they will either reduce the price or close the door.

Everyone is discussing that the job of selling waste products is not long, and they all speed up the action subconsciously, hoping to make more trips before this, sell more points, and accumulate some food.

After listening to Gu Kai's words, the whole family attaches great importance to it.

Shen Xi was the first to say: "Xiao Kai, I'll go with you today, let's ride a bike and try to bring more things. If you can't do it, you can make more trips, and if you can sell them out, just sell them out today. "

Gu Kai thought for a while and agreed.

Because those steel shelves still have to be sorted out, the cutting machine can only be operated by Shen's father, and he will definitely not be able to go out.

And the steel frame was in Shen Cong's space, which was taken in and taken out, and no one else could do it.

Not to mention the old man Gu, he doesn't know how long he will be busy with his pile of Chinese medicine seedlings. It's good if he doesn't ask for help, and he can't help others.

You can't let your mother-in-law follow you on this trip, right?

So the only one who can help at this time is the aunt Shen Xi.

Gu Kai and Shen Xi really made two trips, and in the middle they came back to eat a bowl of jelly, and then hurried away after eating a roujiamo.

In their words, the time spent on the road is not too much, but the queue at the entrance of the acquisition station is really too long!

Going late, it is estimated that it will not be able to line up before it closes when it is dark.

Seeing how the two were in a hurry, Father Shen knew in his heart that it would be impossible for his son-in-law to see the market today, so he didn't even mention it.

Because they were worried about the two of them, from four or five o'clock in the afternoon, people from the Shen family would run to the fourth floor platform from time to time to have a look, hoping to see the two returning as soon as possible.

Shen Cong also went up several times.

But she didn't see her husband and sister first, but she saw Sun Qing first.

Sun Qing came back at almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

The little girl must have been out for a day, and the sweat soaked the big T-shirt, and the whole back of the clothes was sticking to her body.

She carried two plastic ropes on her back like a backpack, and two skateboards tied together dragged under the ropes.

Even from such a distance, it can be seen that the quality of the skateboard is very good. It looks like a competition level, and the price is definitely not cheap.

Only such an expensive skateboard was dragged by her on the ground piled with rubble without hesitation, and it was still dirty and covered with scratches of various colors.

Don't ask, these two things are used by the girl as a flatbed.

It is estimated that what Sun Qing once said was her father's wine cabinet.

Seeing that this girl really acted as she said and started to work hard for survival, Shen Cong couldn't help but look at her a little higher.

I would like to talk to her too.

She stood on the platform and shouted, "Sun Qing, have you seen my sister and Gu Kai?"

Sun Qing quickly raised her head when she heard her name being called.

Seeing it was Shen Cong, he happily waved at her, and shouted loudly, "I see! Sister Xixi and her husband were still queuing at the purchase station when I left. They were riding bicycles and should be back soon. I'm done."

Hearing what she said, Shen Cong nodded and waved to her.

Then watched the little girl turn into the villa area in the third row.

She lives in the back of the row.

In the four villas, including the one that was half collapsed on the outside, apart from the one where she lived, the other three were all occupied by people on the upper floors.

And each set also lived in a lot, it is estimated that there must be one or twenty.

But this liveliness further highlights Sun Qing's lonely living alone.

Shen Cong suddenly understood what the little girl said, why she said that it is yours and my wish that she feeds Xu Bin with food.

After all, she was still a girl under 20 years old, and it was only natural to be afraid in such treacherous years.

When Gu Kai and Shen Xi came back, it was completely dark.

It wasn't until half a football-sized watermelon was in his stomach that Shen Xi let out a long sigh of satisfaction and said, "I'm finally alive!" This

sentence made the whole family laugh.

After coming back to life, Shen Xi regained his energy.

There is also leisure to talk about gossip.

She leaned over and touched her sister's arm, and asked her mysteriously, "Do you know who we met in town?"

"Sun Qing." Shen Cong replied without raising his head.

"How do you know?" Shenxi Guanzi didn't sell, she was a little frustrated, and pushed her sister again depressed.

"Because she came back before you, and she told me that when she came back, she saw you were still lining up."

"Ah? She saw us lining up? When did she see it, and why didn't we see her?"

Shen Xi was very surprised .

She was confused by her sister's words, looked at her brother-in-law a little uncertainly, and asked, "Xiao Kai, didn't we see Sun Qing setting up a stall in the passage when we went back in the afternoon? When did she go to the waste station? Have you seen it?"

Gu Kai shook his head, and replied concisely, "No."

Shen Cong became curious, "Set up a stall, what kind of stall is there? What can she sell?"

Chapter 50

Hearing about Sun Qing, Shen Xi immediately laughed.

She smiled and gestured: "Do you remember the price list she made? It's the one with biscuits and steamed buns.

Yesterday, she said that she would not be allowed to sell electricity at our door, but this little girl took that price list. , took her power bank to town.

I'm not saying, this guy is really the smartest girl I've ever met, she may be afraid of being bullied, guess where she put the stall ?"

Shen Cong enthusiastically asked, "Where is it?"

Shen Xi said with a smile, "She got a piece of plastic sheeting and placed the stall at the entrance for government personnel to register for job seekers. Place!"

Speaking of which, she first clicked her tongue twice: "This Sun Qing is really capable! She looked small at first, so she sat there, small, with three charging treasures in front of her, and then she made such a With a well-drawn price list, who would have the heart to drive her away?"

Imagining that scene, Shen Cong couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't this just a fox and a tiger." Such

a place - as long as the staff doesn't drive her away, even if Some people want to get a little cheaper, but they don't dare to touch her.

And there is still such a dense flow of people there, there must be a lot of potential customers.

Even if the big guy didn't bring a mobile phone today, and saw someone selling electricity, someone would bring it there on purpose these days, right?

Thinking about Sun Qing's ingenuity, Shen Cong was a little suspicious.

Did something really happen to this girl in your last life?

Could it be that the family left by themselves?

If so, then don't worry about her.

"Also," the more Shen Xi said, the more amused she felt: "She also changed the price, and it was twice as expensive as the one marked at our door! She even changed the soda biscuits into cookies.

" As soon as he said it, the whole family was amused.

Even Shen Jianyi couldn't help curving the corners of his lips and sighed: "Old Sun is a shrewd person, otherwise his business wouldn't be so big. This girl, just like him!"

"Why would their family buy it if they are so rich? The house here? Why don't you buy a set in the serious community? " Shen Cong was curious.

"How do you know that people didn't buy a house in another community?"

Cheng Ru said, "This kind of house is definitely not one set or two. I heard that the house in this community was not bought by others.

It is said that it was when the community was built at that time . , seems to have taken up a little of your Uncle Sun's factory. This house was given to them as compensation by the real estate developer.

Because it's close to your Uncle Sun's factory and it's quiet, they live here for a little longer. Son." The

rich people's lives are incomprehensible, and Shen Cong doesn't really want to gossip about the past of other people's homes.

Now that you know that the little girl Sun Qing is quick-witted and will not starve herself to death, then you can rest assured.

When Shenxi and the others came back, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the family talked for a while to have something to eat, and it was ten o'clock in the blink of an eye.

Now there are no entertainment activities to kill time at night, plus another day's work during the day, everyone can't support it anymore, and they are all ready to go back to the house to sleep.

At this time, the door was knocked again from outside.

Who will come at this time?

Everyone in the family stopped.

Gu Kai was the first to run to open the door, and Shen Cong curiously followed.

Only after opening the door, two people found that the electrician of the community was standing at the door.

It was during the earliest earthquake, Shen Cong went to the electrician's room to find him to turn off the switch, but he ran faster than a rabbit, and Shen Cong was stunned that he didn't catch up with him.

This master is probably in his early forties, he is not tall, lean and lean, and he looks very energetic.

But I hadn't dealt with it before.

Seeing him, the couple hurriedly sent people to the courtyard. Gu Kai asked, "Master Zhu, why are you here now? Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Cong knew that the master's surname was Zhu.

Master Zhu shook his hand and said, "It's too late, we won't go in."

Then he explained, "Xiao Gu, I came to you on purpose. That's right, today we took up a job in town, a fertilizer factory. When recruiting people to overhaul the line, they said that it might be able to supply power soon.

They wanted to recruit twenty electricians, and Xiao Xu and I both signed up. They said that each person could bring an assistant, and I didn’t have any apprentices, you see Would you like to try it with me?"

This is the pie in the sky, it's a good thing I can't even think of!

What is missing in today's society? What is lacking is someone who is skilled!

Especially skilled workers such as electricians, plumbers, and masons, even in the poorest and most difficult times, they do not have to worry about work or lack of food.

Master Zhu was able to find his home, which was simply giving Gu Kai a way to live.

"I do." Gu Kai replied without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he asked hesitantly, "But I don't know anything about electrician work?"

"It's okay, just learn if you don't understand. I'll teach you when the time comes."

Master Zhu smiled and said, "Before I see your family. You and Master Shen are all doing the repairing of solar energy, isn't it good if you don't repair it? This is the foundation, if you practice more, you will be able to do everything."

Master Zhu was obviously very happy to be able to find a helper, and he was not at Shen's house either . Stay a little longer, I made an appointment with Gu Kai to gather tomorrow and left.

Master Zhu has been gone for a while, and the couple have not recovered from the shock.

Gu Kai couldn't believe it himself: "Just because I know how to repair solar energy? It's not too difficult, right?"

He looked at his wife and asked in a daze.

There are more than 100 young and middle-aged people in the community!

Except for the two captains, no matter who Master Zhu is looking for, no one will refuse to take him to study an electrician.

It is estimated that whenever he releases some rumors, he will be robbed of his head in exchange for food.

Why did this good thing happen to me?

I don't know him at all.

Shen Cong also felt that this guy's luck was a little too good.

But the man himself is still clear.

Although Gu Kai usually doesn't speak a word, he doesn't look like some of the young people in the courtyard are strong.

But he does things seriously, and he does have a good hand.

Just like the solar energy that Master Zhu said, who has been exposed to it before?

It's nothing more than that he watched it for two days when it was installed.

Now that something went wrong, he and his father were stunned to be able to solve the problem little by little.

It is estimated that Master Zhu also weighed the people in the community and felt that Gu Kai was good in all aspects, and then chose him.

Therefore, Shen Cong just felt that Master Zhu had insight and would pick people.

On the contrary, he was not as worried about gains and losses as Gu Kai.

Knowing the purpose of Master Zhu's visit, the whole family was very happy, Cheng Ru was no longer sleepy, and had to go now to prepare what Gu Kai was going to bring tomorrow.

He was stopped by Shen Cong.

"Mom, don't we have anything to eat at home? You don't have to do it in the evening? You are afraid that others won't know that your son-in-law is favored by Master Zhu! All right, go to sleep, I will prepare his things."

Even if she Having said that, Cheng Ru still reluctantly explained it over and over again.

In fact, I really can't bring anything to eat when I go out.

In these days, even the dry food that was given out by the town as a labor fee was not as good as it used to be.

Some time ago, I still made white-faced steamed buns and white-faced pancakes. It is said that the white-faced buns I have made have become a bit choking when eating, as if they are mixed with bean dregs.

So what Shen Cong prepared for Gu Kai was a pancake that was mixed with cornmeal and white flour. Of course, there would be a little more white flour, but at least it wouldn't look too conspicuous.

As for the vegetables, I only brought a bag of vacuum-packed salted vegetables.

When filling these things for her husband, Shen Cong felt a little distressed, and she couldn't help but keep saying, "I'll come back at night for you to eat delicious food. I still have a lot of fried chicken there! There are also Big Macs you like. ."

Seeing his wife like this, Gu Kai only felt soft in his heart.

He reached out and touched Shen Cong's head, and said softly, "This is already good."

Although he didn't say much, he was speaking from his heart.

Gu Kai knew very well that with his wife, their family's life was much better than others.

Before dawn, Gu Kai left the house.

He, Master Zhu and another electrician in the community, Master Xu, made an appointment to meet at the door at five in the morning.

The purpose is to rush to the passage early, in case someone else takes their place.

After sending Gu Kai away, Shen Cong didn't feel sleepy anymore, she tidied up the house a little, and was ready to go out for a walk.

Before reaching the door, Shen Xi yawned and chased after him: "Where are you going?"

Shen Cong raised his chin toward the outside: "Look around the crack and see if there is any waste to pick up."

"I'll be with you. Go." Shen Xi rubbed his eyes, then took a woven bag from the table in the backyard.

Shen Xi didn't stop him.

The crack was right in front of their house, just a few steps from the back door.

When I first saw this deep pit, everyone felt chills from the bottom of their hearts, but passing by here every day, I gradually got used to it.

Before, there were bold people who dared to partner with a few people, and they pulled each other with ropes and slowly descended into the pit.

Although it is impossible to go down to the bottom of the pit, not all the houses that collapsed at the beginning fell to the bottom, and some were trapped in the soil layer, which is equivalent to being stuck in the middle of the crack, or even higher.

What everyone wants to take is also what is available in those houses.

There have been very few people coming recently, because the things that are relatively easy to get are almost taken.

It's too dangerous to go further, and those scraps are not worth taking a life for.

Shen Cong came to take a look today, not to find any scraps, she just got up too early to go for a walk, and by the way, if she came across anything that could be used, she would pick it up.

After all, who cares too much about things that can be exchanged for money?

The sisters walked slowly along the crack.

Not long after she walked, she saw that Sun Qing was bending over to pick up something on the side of the crack.

They leaned over to take a look and saw that she was picking up scrap iron stuck in the soil with a pair of garden shears.

The two greeted her and left.

Because they didn't want to meet too many neighbors, the two walked westward along the crack.

The front end here is near the wall that connects with the high-rise. It is basically a dead end, and usually no one walks this way.

The two of them chatted casually as they walked. If they saw any small pieces of wood or thin iron rods on the way, they would also pick them up and put them in the woven bag.

After walking for half an hour, I also picked up a small half bag.

"The sun is out, let's go back. There's nothing to pick up here. I really want to pick it up later and let's go out for a walk." Shen Cong said to her sister.

Shen Xi promised to go back with his sister according to the original.

When I came, there were no people on the road, but when I went back, because the sky was already bright, the number of people gradually increased.

The two sisters of the Shen family don't usually go out, and they haven't picked up garbage at the high-rise with everyone, so they're not familiar with the neighbors.

But there are more people in the community who know them.

From time to time along the way, someone would say hello to them and say a few words.

At the beginning, Shen Cong didn't pay attention, but the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

When she got to the door of the house, she couldn't care less, and left her sister and walked into the door quickly.

Going straight to the third floor, I found Mr. Gu.

"Dad, have you been out these days? Why do I think so many people in our community are sick     ?

"
