After Su Keke delivered protective clothing and military rations to the base, she really stayed in Villa No. 5 and didn't go out. She even stopped going to Qin Xiu's place to practice Taekwondo.
After training with Qin Xiu for such a long time, Su Keke thought that she was more than capable of dealing with some hooligans.
During the natural disaster, she had plenty of supplies and all she wanted to do was lie down at home with Grandma Qiao.
Ever since she learned that the space in the capsule house could produce unlimited vegetables and fruits, and that there was an endless supply of game in the forest, Su Keke had the idea of giving up.
What's more, she and Grandma Qiao also raised a pond of fish in the space. Even if all the supplies they had stockpiled were consumed in the future, the space would still have a steady supply of vegetables, fruits, meat and fish.
Without the pressure of hoarding supplies, Su Keke has lost interest in going abroad to get bargains.
For several days after the acid rain, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao stayed at home and slept until they woke up naturally every day. Then they watched TV shows, drank tea and ate delicious food. Their days were very comfortable.
While lying down, they took some time to clean up the vegetables and flowers in the yard that were killed by acid rain. The set of leisure tables and chairs in the yard were also unrecognizable after being eroded by acid rain, so Su Keke cleaned them up as well.
After hearing from Su Keke that the acid rain in the previous life lasted for more than two months on and off, Grandma Qiao gave up the idea of growing vegetables and flowers in the yard.
Over at the Lanshan construction site, they are working overtime taking advantage of the normal weather these days. Chen Da and his team are tired but happy.
Working overtime for two hours every day can earn them 5 extra points, which they are very happy about. Who would work so hard on the construction site if not for the points?
Chen Da has now adapted to life on the construction site. The four of them in the dormitory get along like friends regardless of age, especially the two boys who hang around him to chat every night and always like to ask about Su Keke.
The days passed slowly, and almost half a month had passed. The acid rain that had been so frequent in the previous life had disappeared in this life. Su Keke even felt that it was a little abnormal. Could it be that her memory was disordered?
At the Lanshan construction site, the second group of workers arrived early in the morning.
Manager Zhou brought over twenty or so new people to say hello to Chen Da and the other people from the previous batch.
He then told the new workers about the progress and requirements of the construction site, and then placed these new workers among the old workers like Chen Da.
"You old workers should guide the new employees more and try to get them up and running on the job within one day." After saying this, Manager Zhou left.
"Brother, I can do something, just tell me what to do."
"Well, I can move bricks. Do you want to move these bricks up there?"
Several of the newcomers are quite sensible and actively ask to work as soon as they arrive.
Only the four people sent by Chen Da's group looked strange, and none of them looked like they were here to work on the construction site.
After Manager Zhou left, they wandered around the construction site with sneaky eyes, not working and not asking Chen Da and the others what kind of work they could do.
"Uncle Chen, why do we feel that these people don't seem to be here to work at the construction site?" Wang Gang came down from the scaffolding above and came to Chen Da and said softly.
"Don't worry about them for now, let's just do our own work. If these newcomers are hardworking, we will guide them. If not, we will stay away from them."
Chen Da used to be a businessman. Although he is not as accurate as Lu Mei in judging people, he is not bad either. These four people do have problems.
Their hair is greasy and long, and it's obvious that it hasn't been cut in a long time. They dress like the old street thugs. They probably come to the construction site just to eat and drink for free.
Chen Da pulled Wang Gang to the other side and then went back to work.
These four newcomers are really gang members. Before the natural disaster, they were members of the Tiange Society. They usually helped to carry goods and collect protection fees, and their lives were quite comfortable.
After the natural disaster, the pockets of the citizens of Lingcheng were cleaner than their faces. The points earned by many people were not enough for their family to eat, so they had to rob those who were willing to fight for them.
In the end times, ordinary people have gradually become stronger, and with patrols everywhere, Tian Ge's society has gradually become unable to make ends meet.
Brother Tian has many subordinates like Lin Xiao, and he doesn’t care whether they have enough to eat.
One day, Lin Xiao and his four companions went out for a whole day but couldn't find anyone to take advantage of, and they were all hungry.
They couldn't bear it any longer, so they stole a large amount of supplies from Brother Tian, and then the four of them hid and squandered them for more than ten days.
In the past ten days, Brother Tian has already sent his men to hunt down them all over Lingcheng. These people dared to steal his supplies. They are really tired of living. He plans to catch them and beat them to death in public to see who dares to steal his things in the future!
Lin Xiao and his companions were hiding everywhere, tired and hungry, and just happened to run into the government urgently recruiting workers, providing food and accommodation and giving points. Brother Tian's people would not dare to chase them to the official base, right?
So Lin Xiao took his three men and joined the second construction team entering Lanshan in a daze.
However, they are unable to do the heavy work of moving bricks and carrying soil as they have been lazy and gluttonous for so many years.
"Brother Lin, what should we do? Do we have to pretend to do some work?"
A timid younger brother pulled the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes and asked softly.
"The work here is tiring, but the official places are not so easy to fool. Brother Lin! How about we retreat first? It is said that above this base is the famous villa area for the rich in Lingcheng. Should we hide in the villa area above?"
Another younger brother looked in the direction of the Arashiyama villa area and spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, yes! I heard that Brother Tian wanted to take over this villa area before, and he even sent a small team to explore the way. It was Brother Hu, who was never valued, who was in charge. But I don't know what happened. None of Brother Hu and his men came back. They just disappeared inexplicably."
The three men pulled Lin Xiao together and talked with spit flying everywhere.
Lin Xiao, however, had a calm expression on his face and just said, "Let's take a look first. Lanshan Villa District is not that easy to enter."
Then Lin Xiao found a shovel on the construction site, walked to Chen Da, and slowly followed Chen Da, Lao Li and the cement.
Seeing that their boss had taken the initiative to go to work, the three subordinates did not dare to rest and followed him to carry bricks.
Seeing that they came over and took the initiative to work, Chen Da and Lao Li asked them to move the red bricks below to the shelves, and Wang Gang and Xiaojun were responsible for building the wall on the shelves.
These people had not been working for ten minutes when someone started to shout that he could not continue and wanted to take a break.
Chen Da just let them do what they wanted. He just had to do his own job anyway. If they wanted to be lazy tomorrow, it would be difficult for them to do so. Generally, they would be given one day to adapt. If they didn't work hard the next day, they would be eliminated and sent home. The government didn't have the food to support idle people.
"Ah! Why is it raining?"
"That's not right, why is the rain still smoking?"
"Ah... the acid rain is coming again!"
