Chapter 166

Before the Cai family prepared all the supplies for the winter, what no one expected was that their accommodation would be confirmed first.

We have to thank Da Niu who works in the community for this. Of course, this is not because Da Niu abuses his power for personal gain, but because he works in the community, some neighbors nearby will first ask Da Niu about the situation when they have any problems. As time goes by and they get to know each other more, some people develop relationships with each other.

The person who asked Da Niu about transferring the house was the resident who lived in the building behind Da Niu. The family composition was not complicated, with four people, including a son and a daughter, both of whom were adults. So when they were choosing the houses, they directly chose two buildings, thinking that if the son and daughter got married and had their own families and didn't want to live with them, then the couple would live in one building and the son and daughter would live in another. Anyway, there were upstairs and downstairs, so they could change the interior layout so that the two families could live there without disturbing each other.

If anyone is willing to live with them, the son can live in one building and the daughter can live in another, or they can choose to live on one floor.

The resident of the building that Daniu was going to transfer was named Li. He used to be a big boss in the medical equipment business and had some wealth. After the earthquake, he saw that the situation was not right, so he sold some undamaged equipment that he found in the warehouse to the military, and directly converted them into points. Later, he moved here with the first group of teams, and found a lot of good things in the business district, saving up some wealth, so there was no pressure at all to rent two buildings at once.

The yards in this circle are all mine. My children are not married yet, and the other building is completely empty. I would only rent it out for 10 or 20 yuan a month, which is not cost-effective at all. So I started planting crops early. I planted whatever seeds the government sold, but because I had no experience and unlike Mu Nan who had the plug-in to collect planting guides in advance, the crops died several times.

Later, I started planting potatoes. With the early experience and the help of the farming sector, potatoes are indeed very resilient. Although they are not yet ready for harvest, they are growing well. The planting area of ​​the entire three floors will bring in a considerable amount of money when they can be harvested.

The family was originally well-off, and no one expected that they would get sick.

Daniel: "The medical equipment here is not complete now, but blood tests can still be done. It can almost be confirmed that it is acute leukemia, but it can be diagnosed but there is no way to treat it."

Perhaps there are too many natural and man-made disasters. The most common things they hear about are infections or accidents, and then death from overwork. When they hear about terminal illnesses like leukemia, they even feel dazed for a moment, as they haven't heard of anyone dying from this terminal illness for a long time.

Because Daniu said he was coming to talk to the Cai family about the house, Jian Chu dragged Mu Nan along to join in the fun, wanting to hear what was going on. After hearing what Daniu said, Jian Chu asked, "What does the Li family mean? Do they feel that the pillar of the family is gone and they can't afford two houses, so they're going to give up one?"

Daniu shook his head. "We are not giving up one house, but both houses. However, the potatoes in one house have grown, but they are not yet ripe. The Li family wants to convert the unharvested potatoes into money. In addition, because the location here is good, as you know, the living environment is relatively clean. A new primary school has been opened over there, and the public security has also improved. Therefore, the transfer fee is one hundred. This transfer fee is not high. There are people outside who are asking for extra houses. Even houses in the fifth and sixth districts have people offering one or two hundred for houses. They also have one requirement."

Uncle Cai: "What's your request?"

Daniel: "They want to find a house that can afford to rent two houses. They want to exchange all their belongings for money, and then find the base to see if they can rent a car or take a plane to the capital. The medical environment in the capital is the best now, and it is also the only hope for survival. Their family does not want to give up, but they are also prepared to lose everything. So they want to find a house that they can trust. If they come back from the capital one day, they can get a house back so that they don't have no place to live."

It was also because Daniu was a trustworthy person after getting to know him, and he worked in the community, so the Li family asked Daniu if there was a suitable candidate. Otherwise, if they posted a message about the vacancy on the Internet, especially in the second district, there would definitely be a lot of competition, and the money they could offer would definitely be higher, but that would not be a guarantee for them. If they came back empty-handed, they would really have no way out.

Of course there is a candidate, but Daniu doesn't know whether the Cai family can afford it, as a room full of potatoes is not cheap.

The rent for the two houses combined is 40 yuan per month. There is no water bill now, but the electricity bill is still very high, and there is also a transfer fee, so he came to ask in advance. If they can afford it, he will introduce the Cai family to the Li family for negotiation. If they can't afford it, he will help the Li family find another candidate.

Cai Wentao summarized his meaning: "That means we have to rent two houses now, and if they come back, we have to give them one house back, is that right?"

Da Niu nodded, Uncle Cai and Guo Hui looked at each other, and then walked aside to discuss.

Mu Nan asked Qin Huai, "Is acute leukemia easier to treat than congenital leukemia?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "Not necessarily. Some diseases develop rapidly. Maybe today they just have symptoms of a cold, fever and swollen lymph nodes. If you don't take it seriously and take medicine for two days, if it gets worse and you go to the hospital, you will be in critical condition. If you can't save the person, he will die. The specific situation depends on the person's physical condition."

"Oh." Mu Nan paused and asked, "Does the acute condition require a bone marrow transplant?"

Although he didn't understand much, Jian Chu, who had watched a lot of TV dramas like this, came over and said, "Yes, although it may not be all, but basically for this disease, the best treatment is a bone marrow transplant."

Song Jia couldn't help but sigh: "The Li family is pretty good. At this time, many people's first reaction would be to give up and let people eat and drink well during the last period of time. After all, the overall environmental problems are simply incurable. They would rather sell everything they have to go to the capital for treatment. I just don't know if the capital really has the conditions for treatment. It seems that after the earthquake, the biggest difficulty for all provinces and cities is food, and medical care is not very urgent."

Mu Nan didn't say anything. He didn't know what the situation was in the capital. Anyway, until now, they hadn't heard much news from the capital. But one thing was certain: due to the terrain and environment, the capital was also short of water, and this was not something that could be solved by human or material resources.

This kind of thing cannot be decided immediately. After all, the Cai family probably doesn't have much savings. Before leaving, Qin Huai told Uncle Cai that if he needed it, he could lend him some, but it probably wouldn't be much.

As for Wu Zheng and Jian Chu's family, they would rather sit there and sell eggs for money every day. Even if they wanted to borrow money, their family conditions would not allow it.

The Cai family came later, and Qin Huai was just the initiator in the previous business. After the two parties got to know each other, he never followed the car again. So they still don’t know what Qin Huai does. They only know that his family grows vegetables and raises chickens.

But the chickens are still small and have not yet formed a self-sufficient industrial chain. How much can be grown at home through vegetable farming? Both of them are still unemployed, so in their hearts, Qin Huai and his brothers are not having a easy life. Those who are willing to help them under such difficult conditions are really good people.

Cai Wentao also sighed to Song Jia: "Qinhuai is so nice. When I first met him, I felt that he was quite talkative. His knowledge, conversation and temperament made it easy for people to get close to him. Later, after getting to know him more, I found that he was a cool guy with a calm but cold attitude. He was a cool guy with a delicate mind. His own life was not easy, but he was still willing to help our family. When I was in school, such a person must have been a school bully with many brothers and a strong sense of loyalty."

Song Jia: "He is a genius student. He has never failed to get first place in the grade."

As for whether life is easy or not, in their courtyard, the two brothers probably live the most comfortably. I heard from Mu Nan that his brother gets 100-200 yuan in game commissions every month, which is more than his brother's salary. But there is no need to say so much. Regardless of whether it is easy for others to help, it is a fact that they helped people, so let the Cai family be grateful. This back and forth contact has become close, which is also the power of unity.

Mu Nan didn't expect the house matter to unfold like this. He thought he would have to wait for a few months for arrangements, and then the Cai family would have to move to a place outside District 10. He also thought that it would be difficult to get in and out of the house by then. He didn't know what the situation would be between Cai Wentao and Yang Jing by then. Anyway, Yang Jing had not agreed yet, saying that he was obsessed with making money and had no interest in love.

The three girls in the room seemed to have the same idea, even Sun Sisi, who liked looking at handsome guys the most. She thought that she was living a good life alone and there was no need to find a man to tire herself out. They made a clear distinction between reality and fantasy. No matter how many idol dramas and novels they watched, they knew that no man in reality would be as perfect as in their fantasies.

In the past, it was due to the general environment. Whether it was family or society, if you didn't fall in love, get married, or have children at a certain age, you would be considered an outcast. You had to find someone with suitable conditions to live with. But now that life is like this, why not just let go and live the life you want? So even though the Cai family has good conditions and they are all good people, no one would persuade Yang Jing to give it a try. There was no need. If he was really interested, he didn't need anyone to persuade him.

Now if the Cai family moves behind them, they are still in the same district, just one building away, so they can communicate with each other at any time. There will definitely be some contact in the future, which is also good for them. There are more people who have good relationships with them, and they can just call them when there is something.

But the price of transferring the house is indeed expensive.

"Brother, do you think the Cai family will eventually take over the houses at the back? Two houses, and a room full of potatoes. A random calculation shows that they will weigh more than a hundred kilograms. According to the current price of potatoes, they will cost more than a hundred yuan. As for the furniture, it seems that the Li family will also calculate it as money. After all, they bought it bit by bit. Apart from other things, the air conditioner alone can be sold for a lot of money now, plus the transfer fee, the rent of the two houses will be at least five hundred yuan. Does the Cai family have that much money?"

Qin Huai: "They will want it. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. They will sell everything they have or even take out a loan from the government to buy the house first. Then they can grow potatoes and mushrooms. It won't be a problem to pay off the debt. They will have a complete yard. They can live in one house and use the other for planting. I am tempted by this offer."

Mu Nan smiled and hooked Qin Huai's neck and said, "If the Cai family doesn't want it, we can take it down. We can live in a yard by ourselves, without neighbors. We don't have to be careful to hide from people when doing anything."

Having said that, Mu Nan is still a little reluctant if it really comes to this. He still likes it to be more lively. Living nearby, he can visit neighbors occasionally and chat while standing on the balcony. That's what life is all about. If he really lives alone in the future, although he is used to the quiet house, he will definitely not be as happy as he is now.

Qin Huai glanced at him and said, "Want it? Then I'll go talk to Daniu." Then he turned and left.

Mu Nan quickly grabbed Qin Huai and said, "It's just a joke. Our family is so poor, how can we afford so many houses? Let's go home. I'm hungry and want to eat cold noodles."

Qin Huai looked at Mu Nan with a silly smile on his face.

The Li family was in a hurry to get the money, and the disease could not be delayed. In addition, they wanted to find a reliable person to leave a way out for themselves, so they had to make some concessions on the price. As for leaving their children behind, the couple went to see the doctor. If it was in the past, it would definitely be no problem, but now, maybe today's separation might be a farewell forever. After many discussions and arguments, they decided to go together.

Moreover, they also hold the idea that if they can successfully go to the capital and the conditions there are better, they will find a way to stay there, so it is even more impossible for them to leave their children behind.

After Daniu brought the two parties together to negotiate, one party was eager to sell, while the other party was full of sincerity. In addition, with the trustworthy character of Daniu as a guarantor, the two parties finally completed the transfer very quickly. The assets were sorted out on the second day, and on the third day, they went to the community to register the transfer. One of the two houses was registered with Guo Hui's ID card, and the other was registered with Uncle Cai.

The Li family also used some of their original connections, but there was no way to use airplanes. The conditions were really not there. Even if they wanted to fly at night, the magnetic field was disrupted. After the earthquake, the magnetic field in some places was disrupted, so airplanes could not be used at all, unless they were flying within the province or over short distances. The distance from Kangyun to the capital was too far. During the day, they could fly low and rely on manpower to determine the position, but at night they would be blind, and they could not fly during the day.

So in the end, their family decided to follow the car, but they didn't know how long it would take to drive there. Anyway, they were following a convoy of material transport vehicles, so their safety was certainly guaranteed, but they didn't know whether they could get treatment after they got there.

The Li family left very quickly. Mu Nan and his family were busy in the yard for a few days, helping the Cai family move things. As for the mushroom house that they had built in Wu Zheng's house before, it was left behind. Guo Hui only took away some of the mushroom strains.

After all, the Li family's house has been lived in before, so many things used by others have to be thrown away, especially since there is a sick person in the Li family. Although the disease is not contagious, it is a bad omen after all. In addition, the Cai family is not short of daily necessities, but cleaning requires more water.

Fortunately, Mu Nan and his family had a well in their yard, otherwise they would only be limited to two times of fetching water. Even though their family had a large population and the amount of water they could draw was not enough, it was still not enough. However, they still used up the quota they bought from the water station every day, and if it was not enough, they would ask Song Jia and his family to fetch some more. They could not take advantage of others just because they had a well.

On this point, the Cai family has always been more sensible in doing things. They will not take advantage of others easily. Only a give-and-take relationship can last long.

When the Cai family moved, Xiao Zhu was the most reluctant to leave. Although his mother said that as long as Uncle Song had time, he could come over to play with Niu Niu, Xiao Zhu, with whom he had finally developed feelings for her, still sat on the ground, hugged Niu Niu's neck and cried.

Mu Nan stood aside and watched Xiao Zhu crying, and nudged Song Jia with his arm: "Uncle Song."

Song Jia rolled his eyes: "I'm twenty-six or twenty-seven this year, you can call me uncle."

Mu Nan said, "I'm your brother."

Song Jia looked at him with an expression of how dare you say that: "How dare you?"

Mu Nan said as a matter of course: "What's there to be embarrassed about? When I put on a white T-shirt, I'm the youngest kid on campus."

"Are you shameless?!" Song Jia rushed over and tried to pull at Mu Nan's increasingly thick skin.

Mu Nan laughed loudly and hid outside.

After helping the Cai family for two days, they finally moved their home over. The Cai family had not lived here for long, but they still had a lot of stuff. Plus, they had to help them clean out the Li family's stuff, which was really exhausting.

When Mu Nan was finally able to collapse on the sofa and continue his leisure time, he discovered that there were many more things in the online mall.

There had always been gold, silver and jade articles, and now even the wood that had been chopped for heating was hung up there for sale. There were also some books, pots and pans, and Mu Nan even saw a massage chair. He was immediately surprised. When he was rummaging through the ruins before, he had been hoping to find a massage chair every day, but unfortunately he had never had that luck, so when he saw it now, he couldn't help but pay a little more attention.

"These things should have been soaked and rotted in the flood a long time ago. How can they still be found?"

Qin Huai: "The flood did not turn all places into oceans. Some places are relatively high, and with the collapse of buildings, some things in high places may not be soaked in water. These books are still covered with plastic, so they are well preserved. As for this massage chair, it is a little damaged. It looks like the kind used by the public in shopping malls. Do you want it?"

Mu Nan quickly shook his head: "No, they have been used by others, and I don't know if they have been soaked in water. I am just surprised that there are still these things now. It seems that those who go to the city to pan for gold really get a lot of rewards."

The first group of people who tried it out must have reaped a lot of rewards. Those who were originally still waiting and watching, after seeing the first group of people getting rich, could not wait any longer and even called on people to form groups in the forum and want to go to the city.

Every day Mu Nan sees people posting messages on forums and in community groups. Some are looking for people to form a group to go to the city together for safety, and some have already returned from the city and are selling the things they dug up.

Mu Nan even saw someone digging out several boxes of trial samples and some facial cleansers and lotions in a former shopping mall, selling them for ten yuan a bottle. They were sold out in half a day. Such large boxes, ten yuan a bottle, and they were expired, but they were all sold out.

This made even more people jealous, it was too easy to make money!

Mu Nan also sat on Qin Huai's body and let him look at his phone: "This is too easy to make money! I work so hard to update comics every week, but I only make a few dollars a month! Look, if we sell the big box we found before, we will probably become rich. Theirs is really expired, but mine is just expired, but the quality is not expired."

Qin Huai held his waist to prevent him from falling. Seeing that Mu Nan was very interested, he said, "We can go out for a walk after it gets dark. There are many things bought from the city at the small market in the square."

Mu Nan swiped his phone and quickly browsed through various commodities: "What do you think, should we stock up on some gold? Isn't it said that gold should be stored in troubled times? We are now exchanging food for gold and stockpiling it. When life gradually returns to normal, we can sell the gold for money, and then we will make a fortune."

When stockpiling supplies before, Mu Nan had thought about exchanging them for some gold, but then he thought it was not cost-effective. The price of gold was very expensive at that time, only three or four hundred yuan per gram. Even if Qin Huai came back later and they had more money, it was not worth buying gold. It would be better to go to the supermarket and buy two more kilograms of rice.

Hiding gold in troubled times is probably more suitable for those who don't have a golden finger like space. Food can't be stored for a long time, so it's more appropriate to have some gold. But he has space, and no matter how much food he has, it won't go bad. It's better to buy more rice and exchange it for gold. One kilogram of rice can be exchanged for a gold necklace weighing at least ten grams. How cost-effective.

Qin Huai took a look at the goods in the online mall. Recently, because a lot of materials have been imported from the city, the market prices have been impacted. It is indeed worth going to take a look and stock up some things, such as gold and jade.

However, there is no unified pricing for items like gold, silver and jade. There is a price for official recycling, but it is very low, so transactions outside are basically just random price quotes and negotiations, and the transaction is made if it is appropriate. For example, in mobile phone malls, the price of gold is randomly marked, but the main page is a reminder for private chat and bargaining.

Qin Huai ruffled Mu Nan's hair and said, "We can stock up a little and go to the market tonight."

Mu Nan quickly got down from the sofa: "Then I'll pack some rice, one pound in a small vacuum bag."

Qin Huai also stood up to help. The rice they took out was the rice that the government issued as a purchase quota every week. They usually didn't eat this kind of old rice that had obviously been stored for a long time, so it was just right to take it out for a trade now.

Mu Nan did not tell Jian Chu and Song Jia that he was going out shopping this time. If he had told them, they would definitely want to go with him. However, he planned to change some things this time, so it would not be appropriate for him to go with them. Otherwise, if he changed or took out something, he would not be able to hide it at all. It would be better to do it secretly.

But he still felt a little guilty for doing this behind his friend's back. Mu Nan flipped through the grapefruit candies he had made earlier and said to Qin Huai, "When we come back, we'll give them two candies as a small compensation."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "If we don't leave now, it will be dawn."

Mu Nan quickly picked up the backpack that was filled with a lot of stuff and hung it on his body: "Let's go! Go to Taobao."
