Chapter 195 Housing Allocation
Leng Yi got in the car and let Yang Qing drive in. The guard quickly opened the iron gate.
When Li Liang entered, the guard said that his information had been registered and he just needed to hand in his points card.
Two cars drove into the parking lot according to the signs.
There were not many vehicles, many of them were trucks, and most of them were probably official vehicles going out to collect supplies.
The RV was so big that it almost took up two parking spaces.
A pickup truck took up a parking space.
After parking the car, everyone went to the management office to register and decide on a place to stay first.
Leng Yi observed secretly along the way and found that this place seemed to have been a residential area or a resort with built houses.
Most of them are small high-rise buildings with six or seven floors, and such houses do not need elevators.
There seems to be a villa behind it, but it is blocked by the house and cannot be seen clearly. I will ask about it later.
There is a large area near the management office with two-story prefabricated houses like those at a construction site. They were probably built later and can accommodate many people.
But the weather is so hot that people can't stand living in this kind of house.
Anyway, they definitely won't live there.
When we arrived at the management office, there were already a lot of people inside and it was very noisy.
There was a row of clerks, with no glass separating them, but their attitudes were not very nice.
Those who can work here must have some background, so it's very impressive.
They were similar to the government clerks in the past, but they became much better after some rectification.
When the end of the world came, this situation returned.
Yang Qing discovered that there was a computer in front of the clerk, and an LED display board on the wall next to it, which contained some information about exchanging points for supplies.
It seems that the base has solved the power supply problem, but I don’t know whether there is a local area network.
Yang Qing took out his cell phone and searched it, but there was no internet. Come to think of it, it was the end of the world, and having internet was not necessarily a good thing.
Those computers should be used to store information. Otherwise, with so many people in the base, it would take so many notebooks to record the information, and it would be difficult to preserve it.
Yang Qing asked Leng Yi to line up for registration, and she looked at the display boards on the side. There were some job recruitment notices on them, and the salary for each job was different.
There are also skilled jobs, and the wages and food are much higher than those of pure laborers.
As long as you have a skill, you will never be short of food.
When it was Leng Yi's turn, the clerk saw that he was tall and handsome, and his clothes were clean. He was incomparable to those dirty people.
A smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Please register your information. Are you alone?"
Leng Yi took the pen and said, "There are five of us: my wife, my sister, and two friends."
When the clerk heard that he had a wife, his face fell.
However, it is not surprising for a man to have several women at this time. As long as he has the material resources, many women don't care.
Leng Yi registered the information and also wrote down a motorhome and a pickup truck.
"There is a fee for this car." The clerk reminded.
"I understand." Leng Yi nodded. "How much does it cost?"
"It's charged by parking space. One parking space costs two kilograms of grain per month. Your pickup truck will probably take up two parking spaces. Three parking spaces alone will cost six kilograms of grain."
"Of course, you can also exchange points," the clerk continued. "Don't you have a points card when you come in? If you took away a whole 500 yuan, you can get a new points card. There's information on job openings, material exchanges, and so on."
"You receive supplies and exchange them for points. You can use these points to pay for accommodation and parking, as well as meals in the cafeteria. Of course, you can also cook your own meals!"
Leng Yi nodded, "How do I change my accommodation?"
"Which category do you want to stay in?" The clerk brought over a piece of laminated paper with the points required for each category written on it.
"Isn't it exchanged for food?" Leng Yi was curious.
"It all depends on points. If you don't have points, you can exchange food for points. It's the same." said the clerk.
Leng Yi raised his eyebrows and thought that it would be better to exchange it with points. Points are no longer of any use to them, and the official base points card issued in the future will be just a piece of waste paper.
One point is earned for two kilograms of grain, and three points are earned for two vehicles per month.
As for accommodation, the prefabricated houses do not require points, and of course the conditions are the worst.
For suites on the lower floors, each person gets two points, which translates to four kilograms of food. If a single suite is available, four points are required, and no one else can move in.
Because many people do not come as a family, some come alone, some come as two, and they may all stay in the same suite, so the price is charged per person.
"How many points does a three-bedroom suite cost?" Leng Yi asked.
He thought that he and Yang Qing would share a room, Lu Lin would have a room to herself, and Lin Feng and Li Liang would have a room. Three rooms would be enough.
"In principle, two people share a room. A three-bedroom apartment can accommodate six people. If you book the entire room, you'll have to pay not only the six-person fee but also the suite fee," the clerk explained. "That's twelve points plus the two-point suite fee, for a total of fourteen points."
Leng Yi nodded. It was very cost-effective for them to use the points card. They also had several points cards with more than 500 points, which allowed them to stay for a long time.
For those who don't have points, it is very difficult to go out and find food or supplies to exchange.
"Is there a separate villa?" Leng Yi asked again.
The clerk was surprised to find that he was really a rich man.
"There aren't many villas. Many of them are for the senior leaders of the base. I seem to have more. Let me check." The clerk checked the computer. "There are two more. One is 200 square meters, two stories, with a total of six rooms. Of course, there are bathrooms and toilets."
"The other building is 100 square meters and is also two stories high. There are four rooms in total, as well as a toilet and bathroom."
"And because it's a stand-alone house, you can park your car, so you don't have to pay extra parking fees."
Leng Yi nodded, "How many points are required for each?"
"The 200-square-meter building requires 100 points, and the 100-square-meter building requires 60 points," said the clerk.
Leng Yi raised his eyebrows. If converted into food, one hundred points would require two hundred kilograms of food, which was indeed not cheap.
After thinking about it, they still had three points cards, two of which were worth 500 points each, and Yang Qing's was worth 2,180 points.
It was only after he was with Yang Qing that he found out that when he found the first cow and gave her the beef, she had exchanged it for points.
The five of them only need to live in a 100-square-meter villa. The two 500-yuan points cards alone can accommodate them for more than a year, and Yang Qing’s card doesn’t need to be touched.
"I want a 100-square-meter villa." Leng Yi said decisively, calling Yang Qing and asking her to take out a points card first.
"Okay!" The clerk took the points card and glanced at Yang Qing. This woman was so beautiful, with such fair skin, and she didn't look like she had ever suffered any hardship. She must have been taken care of by this man.
She is so lucky.
The clerk wrote on the points card that sixty points would be deducted, stamped the date and the clerk's personal seal, and then issued a receipt for Leng Yi's accommodation.
"You must come here to register for point deduction before the expiration of next month, otherwise you may be kicked out of the villa." The clerk reminded.
"Got it, thank you!" Leng Yi nodded and put away the receipt.
"Thank you!" Yang Qing also smiled at the clerk. It was very good to have such an attitude now.
The clerk also smiled at her and looked at the two of them, feeling very envious. They seemed to be such a good match.
Leng Yi took the house registration receipt and went to the side to collect the key. The clerk there also gave him a map of the villa's location and told them to go there by themselves.
