Chapter 332: One Carrot One Hole (Thanks for the Gift, More Updates)

After taking a look at the work, Ji He turned and left.

She has no intention of looking for a job for the time being.

She has no shortage of food, and part of the reason is that she doesn't want to squeeze the living space of ordinary people.

Another reason is that most of these jobs are very hard, with working hours of at least 14 hours. In addition, she has to do farm work for at least 3 hours a day, as well as time for eating, washing and walking. If she does these jobs, she is afraid that she can only sleep 3 or 4 hours a day.

Of course there must be jobs that pay well and require little work, after all, this is a society where relationships are important. But even if there are, Ji He feels that he would not be able to find one.

When he arrived at Areas C and D, Ji He found that the environment was very ordinary, just as Qi Li said.

The first area you see when you enter from the city gate is District D. Ji He went in to take a look and found the environment to be very ordinary. If it weren’t for the tall buildings, you would have thought it was a rural dirt road.

Even the street lights are spaced far apart and the lights are dim, which can only help people not get lost. Don’t even think about having any other functions.

The houses are exactly the same.

Large bunk bed.

It was a huge room without even a bed in it. Just like the parking space before, a rectangle was simply drawn on the ground to serve as a bed, which was barely enough to distinguish it.

Tenants can only sleep on the floor, and if they want a bed they have to find a way themselves.

Or wait and install it once the base has more resources.

The aisle between each bed is very narrow, the kind that requires one to pass sideways, and is not as spacious as the hard sleeper beds on the original trains.

When I sleep, I can even reach out and touch the face of the person sleeping in the next bed.

Not to mention privacy, I'm afraid I can smell what the person opposite me is eating just by taking a breath.

Living in this kind of environment is only slightly better than sleeping outdoors.

I can't sleep well.

And it is simply divided into two types: family rooms and single rooms.

There is nothing much to say about the family room, it is rented as a family unit.

Single rooms are divided into male dormitories and female dormitories, which is the greatest protection for single girls.

But if you want something else, then there is none.

After all, natural disasters occur, and everyone must try to take responsibility for themselves.

If you are single and live in a house like this, it is hard to say whether you can keep your belongings when you go out to work during the day and come back at night.

A place like this that is similar to a parking space costs 10 points per month.

One bean cake is worth 1 point. If you do hard labor at a construction site, you will get 10 points a day. If you work for a month, you will get 300 points. After deducting the 4 points for food, you will have 6 points left.

From this perspective, compared to the income, this bed is already a very reasonable price.

But in reality, this cannot be calculated like this. After all, many people living in such dormitories cannot find stable jobs and can only live off their savings.

This time it's not like before, when I could go out to pick up junk and buy and sell recycled waste. As long as I was diligent, I could always earn more than 10 or 20 points a day.

If you're lucky, it's not difficult to earn hundreds of points a day.

It's hard to find a job these days.

Points are hard to earn and require hard work.

Moreover, the security here is obviously very bad, with people living here mixed up and coming in and out. As soon as Ji He came in, countless pairs of eyes were looking at her.

Area C is better. In addition to the large dormitory rooms, there are also some small single rooms, less than 6 or 7 square meters, without toilets or kitchens.

Anyone who wants to go to the toilet can only go to the public toilet outside.

Although the house here is small, at least there is privacy. If I move in, at least I don’t have to worry too much about losing my things when I go out to work.

It is obviously much better than area D.

Ji He went to Area B again to take a look. The environment outside was similar to that of Area C, not much better, but there were no large bunk beds.

They are all independent rooms, and most of the people living in them are those who have stable jobs in the base or are talented.

Every house has its door locked, so you can't see what's inside.

When she wanted to enter Area A, she was stopped by the security guard at the door. "You can't enter without proof of residence in Area A."

Maybe because Ji He’s outfit was decent, he didn’t sound impatient, but his rejection was obvious.

Ji He didn't force it and just took a look outside.

It's just surrounded and has high walls, so you can't see what's inside.

She had an idea and turned around and walked back to the housing rental center.

There are a lot of people in the housing rental center right now, and many people are waiting in line.

Ji He also stood in the crowd, listening quietly to others chatting.

The house here can be rented or bought.

But most ordinary people rent and cannot afford to buy.

"I heard that those wealthy bosses moved into the base a long time ago, and their lives are no different from before."

"You are out of date. Not only have they moved in a long time ago, they are also living in the villa area."

"Hiss! He's rich. I heard he has hundreds of kilograms of food?"

"Judging from your superficial appearance, it must be at least several thousand pounds! I heard that they even use air conditioning and eat several dishes for each meal."

"I'm so envious. I wish I had so much food."

"Why are you envious? Do you think they are happy to spend so much food? They also have their own reasons, and they may be suffering more than us."

"Brother, tell me more."

"Why do you think so many people are alive in our country? The base is so big, why was it built so quickly? Do you think it's God's blessing? Those people were the richest people in the city before, and they have been living on their skin to support the people below since the natural disaster."

"You can't just have food to buy their villa. You also need a certain level of contribution, just like buying the orange horse before. If you don't have contribution, they won't sell it to you even if they have food. Otherwise, there won't be enough for so many people to live in. Everyone can get a bed. If you live in a villa, won't others protest?"

Ji He listened to the crowd's discussions in silence.

Finally it was her turn. The staff at the simple desk looked tired but still managed a smile. "Hello, which house do you want to rent?"

She had been working for 12 hours and was very tired.

But she cannot relax, because if she is reported more than three times, she will lose her job.

This job is considered a good job in the base. She only needs to sit and help people with their business. Other jobs are physical work, which she cannot do.

It was only after she used her connections and spent 50 kilograms of grain as a deposit that she was finally able to get in.

Although the work was tiring, the treatment was very good. There were two meals of mixed grain rice every day, weighing 3 taels each, and a vegetable soup with 2 or 3 vegetable leaves in it.

Although it’s not enough to eat, this is already the best treatment.

She would basically bring it home to share with her family, and then buy a few bean cakes so that she could be 50% full.

Eating these oily foods all day long makes the hunger in my stomach seem like it can never be filled.

I tossed and turned during the day thinking about the various delicacies I had before the disaster.

Her home was close to the base, so she arrived early and caught a good time, so she was able to exchange 50 kilograms of food for a job.

The price of such a job now has doubled compared to when she did it, and it takes 100 kilograms of food to get it, but there are still hundreds of people competing for it.

Every day, countless eyes are watching her, waiting for her to make a mistake so that they can report it and someone else can take the blame.

Every man has his own place. If she doesn't get in, no one else can get up.

This made her tremble with fear every day and caused her great mental stress.
