Chapter 214 Useless People
Bai Lan heard a lot from Qi Mo today.
Almost everyone here comes from a place called the Superpower Research Institute, and the rest are their families.
They have had special abilities for a long time and have been working for the country.
Qi Mo said that he was able to join the institute entirely because of Director Wang's consideration for Lin Xi.
Otherwise, their family would not be able to enter Lin Xi's space at all.
Bai Lan was not stupid, so he naturally understood that his son was warning him not to treat Lin Xi with the same attitude as before.
Of course she didn't dare.
She was becoming more aware of the facts every day.
She is a waste now, and Lin Xi can only look up to her.
At this time, Lin Xi smiled at everyone and said, "I have entered the shelter and am in the innermost position. Don't worry, everyone."
"Right now, it's like the space is in a shelter. Even if the space might be slightly impacted, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Everyone said in unison, "We are relieved."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"That's right, we have double insurance."
Bai Lan looked at Lin Xi, the center of the crowd. At this moment, she had to admit that her son might not really be worthy of Lin Xi.
Everyone obeys her every word, and she has the aura of a leader.
Bai Lan felt that Lin Xi's status among the people in the research institute was no worse than Director Wang's.
She just couldn't understand how an eighteen-year-old girl could convince all these people.
Lin Xi didn't notice Bai Lan. She smiled and went back home.
Everyone dispersed, looked at the time, and went home to cook.
Almost every family brought an alcohol stove and used it to cook.
The vegetables and meat we brought in are still edible, so we are eating them as soon as possible.
Some are using their special powers to set fire and cook.
The electricity from the solar battery is mainly used to supply the incineration toilet. The light in the space is not very strong, so not much electricity can be stored in a day.
Lin Xi did not do anything special. She could have installed a few more solar panels and batteries to provide electricity, but she didn't.
She knew very well that human nature is not to worry about scarcity but about inequality.
If no one has it, that's fine. But if no one has it and you are the only one who has it, that will easily cause dissatisfaction.
Although no one dared to say anything to her in the space, there was no need to cause any conflicts.
So, even though the refrigerator was moved in, it had no electricity.
Lin Fenfang also used an alcohol stove to stew food in the living room.
Another stove for cooking.
Lin Xi has stored a lot of industrial alcohol.
But at this time, everyone was still very grateful to Lin Xi.
It is sincere gratitude.
Compared to those who can only eat bread and instant noodles, they can still eat hot meals and hot dishes, which makes them really happy.
The Qi family also started eating.
The old lady and Bai Lan's cooking skills are both terrible.
Qi Mo bought a lot of things, including some vacuum-packed steaks, meat, and some vegetables and dried vegetables.
Helplessly, the old lady and Bai Lan put it in the pot and cooked it randomly. What came out was just barely edible.
After dinner, Director Wang found Lin Xi and said, "I want to discuss something with you."
Lin Xi made him a cup of tea, and Director Wang held the hot tea and said, "I thought about it, there are so many people in this space, from all walks of life."
"Let's get everyone together and form a medical team with doctors. Anyone who has a headache or fever can be examined by them."
"The teachers have to be organized, and there are still a lot of children. We can't let them run around like this all day. They still have to attend classes."
"For the rest, you can register everyone's specialties. Those who can grow crops and vegetables can lead everyone in the labor."
"I see there's a tractor over there that can plow the soil. It's not too hard work."
“Those who know how to raise livestock should do so.”
Lin Xi nodded, "I think this is a very good idea."
"Just announce it sometime."
Director Wang took a sip of hot tea and said, "Okay, then I'll announce it after everyone has finished their meal."
After saying that, he took the teacup and left.
Lin Fenfang and Lin Yuan have already cleaned up the dishes.
The disposable dishes and chopsticks used are poured into the garbage disposal and the garbage is also disposed of.
Lin Fenfang walked out and said, "I'm going for a walk outside."
Lin Yuan winked at Lin Xi and smiled, "My mom went to square dance with those old ladies."
Lin Xi thought about it and realized that there were actually quite a lot of elderly people in this space.
Most of the people in the institute are around 40 years old, and they have parents, parents-in-law, and grandparents-in-law, so there are quite a few elderly people in total.
Lin Fenfang is in her forties and can only be considered middle-aged.
After a while, Lin Xi heard Director Wang shouting in the square with a loud speaker, "Everyone, come out. I have something to announce."
Lin Xi pulled Lin Yuan out.
Although she knew what it was, she had to support Director Wang's work.
Everyone arrived at the square one after another. There were about one or two hundred people, which seemed like a lot.
Director Wang told Lin Xi what he had discussed with her.
"Everyone should go to Zhou Ying to register and write down what they are good at and what jobs they used to do."
"We live together as one big family. Let's work together and contribute our own light to build a better community."
The crowd applauded enthusiastically.
Zhou Ying moved tables and chairs and sat at the edge of the square. She was soon surrounded by people and patiently registered everyone.
The two elders of the Qi family and Bai Lan felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.
The old man is better.
He also squeezed over. After all, he used to be a manager of a large enterprise, and he felt that the community might also need management talents.
The old lady and Bai Lan thought about it carefully and realized that being able to play the piano and paint seemed to be useless.
The two went home silently.
Lin Fenfang also racked her brains and finally signed up for classes on growing vegetables, sewing, and knitting sweaters.
When her parents were still alive, they would grow some vegetables in the yard. She had helped out and knew the general idea about it.
Chen Bing's husband is a doctor, so he signed up.
Li Xiaoqiu's sister-in-law is a university teacher and also signed up.
Zhao Gang's father signed up to study carpentry.
Zhou Ying quickly put an asterisk next to it.
Doctors and people with skills are all key talents.
Xu Lin’s wife is a lecturer in the biology department, so she applied.
I also applied to study accounting at Linyuan University.
Zhou Ying put a circle behind their names, saying that these majors should be useful in the future.
There are quite a few elderly people who know how to grow vegetables, and Zhou Ying registered them one by one.
If there is any elderly person in the family who can weave bamboo, write it down as well.
The elderly people marked with asterisks are very happy and feel that they are useful people.
Some elderly people are also very frustrated. They rack their brains but can't think of what special skills they can report.
Some, like Lin Yuan, applied for their own university major.
Lin Xi felt that she had nothing to report.
She had studied astrophysics in her previous life, but obviously, she didn't understand anything, at least it was of no help to the current situation.
I have only studied archaeology for a short time in this life, and it seems to be of no use now.
If she didn't have special abilities, she would feel like a useless person.
