Chapter 186 Brother, there is water in your kitchen
“Brother!”
On the day Meng Ci and Shen Que officially moved in, Zhang Mingtian came to congratulate them with a few things.
Two pounds of white flour, one pound of wild boar meat, and a variety of dried vegetables.
Shen Que parked the car in the garage and closed the rolling door he had obtained from the item exchange point.
When he was about to enter the house, Shen Que heard Zhang Mingtian's voice and invited him into the house.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several months, Zhang Mingtian looked a bit silly under his honest appearance and didn't feel awkward at all.
So he chatted with the two of them without any hesitation.
Although his words revealed envy of Meng Ci and his family for being able to live in a detached villa, he was still quite satisfied with his own life.
When Zhang Mingtian saw Meng Ci feeding the rabbits, he even bowed deeply to Meng Ci and the others.
Because the pair of rabbits that Meng Ci had given them earlier were raised very well by them, they had already given birth to two litters of rabbits before Song Meixuan was about to give birth.
Therefore, during Song Meixuan's confinement period, she was able to eat meat every day to ensure nutrition.
The baby is now over two months old, and Song Meixuan still has enough milk.
And the child has got enough nutrition, so he has not been sick in the past two months.
Meng Ci threw the vegetables in his hand into the rabbit hutch and took Zhang Mingtian into the house.
Then he brought a glass of cold water from the refrigerator to Zhang Mingtian, who was sitting on the single sofa.
Zhang Mingtian sighed, the boss is the boss, not only can he use air conditioning but also a refrigerator.
Unlike him, who worked so hard for a long time and only dared to buy an air conditioner for his wife and children.
However, Zhang Mingtian also knew that Meng Ci and Shen Que had worked hard. After all, he heard that they had killed a wild boar a few days ago.
Zhang Mingtian now has a mother in her sixties and a two-month-old child, and he dares not get involved in these dangerous things again.
If an accident happens, how will my wife and children survive?
Eggplant still remembers the taste of Zhang Mingtian, after all, they once fought side by side.
When seeing the three people chatting, Eggplant looked at his owner, then at Zhang Mingtian, and squeezed next to Zhang Mingtian.
"Brother, is there water in your kitchen?"
The extreme heat has lasted for more than six months, during which time not a drop of rain has fallen and the M River is almost dry.
Several springs previously developed by the government on the mountain have now dried up.
Fortunately, after the spring stopped flowing, officials moved out the snow water that had been stored during the extreme heat.
This was an extremely cold period during the snow and water period, so the authorities ordered everyone to dig several underground passages.
At the end of the passage, there was a huge pit, which was sealed with cement and filled with a lot of snow.
Fortunately, the pit was built very solidly and did not collapse due to the earthquake.
Now that there is a water shortage, the government sends large trucks to transport water back and forth every day.
And water has become a scarce resource.
One liter of water costs thirty points, and the government has even imposed purchase limits, with a points card only being swiped once a day.
Meng Ci could understand why the water price was set so high.
After all, water is a non-renewable resource so far.
As for food, officials have developed a variety of drought-resistant rapeseed that requires only small amounts of water to survive and does not need daily watering.
Thinking of this, Meng Ci sighed and decided to use his points card to earn some money every day.
Otherwise, if the authorities see that they have not used any water, they might become suspicious of them.
"No!" Meng Ci shook his head when he heard Zhang Mingtian's words.
And Meng Ci did hear the sound of water splashing, and couldn't help but feel confused?
Could it be that the authorities have found the water source?
But then, the three people present smelled a strong smell of urine.
Looking down, Zhang Mingtian saw a pool of yellow water at his feet, and some of it was flowing down his calves.
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, so Zhang Mingtian didn't feel it when Eggplant was peeing.
Because the living room was small and the coffee table was close to the sofa, he did not move when Eggplant squeezed between Zhang Mingtian and the coffee table.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually peed directly.
At this time, Eggplant took two steps back, stuck out his tongue, and looked at Zhang Mingtian with a smug look in his eyes, as if he had no guilt for his behavior.
Instead, Eggplant was complacent about his successful marking.
"eggplant!"
When Meng Ci saw the urine on the ground, he felt like he was going crazy!
He took two steps forward and grabbed Eggplant's ear. Then Meng Ci stood on the ground barefoot, picked up the slippers on the ground and slapped Eggplant's butt.
“Ouch, ouch!”
The eggplant endured the pain and tried to resist, but the owner grabbed its ears tightly. For fear that the ears would be pulled off, the eggplant dared not move anymore.
When the house was built, Meng Ci specially had people enhance the sound insulation effect, so as long as the noise is not particularly loud, outsiders cannot hear any sound in the house.
However, today, people who were working outside and even those passing by the wall from the base could hear the howling of wolves.
They were so frightened that they fled in panic, fearing that they would be affected.
When Zhang Mingtian saw that Qiezi was beaten so badly, he no longer cared about the urine on his legs. Instead, he tried to persuade Meng Ci not to be impulsive.
Meng Ci refused to listen.
"You don't have to beg for mercy. It's extremely hot right now, and the smell of its urine is so strong that it will spread to every part of the house in no time. How can we live here?"
"It's a light blow."
Inside the house, Meng Ci first went to the item exchange point to exchange for two air conditioners, which he had installed.
However, those air conditioners were soaked in water, and although they were subsequently repaired, their performance was not good.
However, it was just to cover up the truth. There were multiple air conditioners in Meng Ci's space, so he replaced them together with Shen Que.
Therefore, the cooling effect of the house is acceptable, but it is difficult to resist the smell of eggplant urine.
After packing the eggplants, Meng Ci pulled them into the yard.
Zhang Mingtian also said goodbye at the right time.
Meng Ci naturally would not let him leave empty-handed, so he took two dried rabbits, some dried vegetables given by Yun Jingcen and the others, two kilograms of flour, and three boxes of crocodile canned food.
"You take it."
"Consider this a gift for your child."
Zhang Mingtian had no choice but to accept it quickly.
After Meng Ci and Shen Que saw Zhang Mingtian off, they began to clean up the urine from Eggplant in the house, then turned on the exhaust mode of the air conditioner, and then the two went out.
They drove the off-road vehicle to the item exchange point. As soon as they entered the door, they noticed an additional window for changing water, and also saw Liang Xiu standing in the hall.
"Uncle Liang." Seeing that there was no one around Liang Xiu, Meng Ci walked over to greet him.
Liang Xiu is now a small leader at the goods exchange point. He usually sits in the office and is responsible for coordinating personnel. He comes here at this time just to inspect the work.
Seeing Meng Ci and Shen Que coming, Liang Xiu took them to his office.
Now Zhao Jingyu is still in the hospital and needs two more days of observation before he can be discharged. Liang Xiu stays alone in the Zhao family villa.
When talking about Zhao Jingyu, Meng Ci still expressed his thoughts.
"Uncle Liang, you don't owe anyone anything now."
"The interest you brought to the Meng Group after graduation has far exceeded the financial support my mom and grandpa gave you."
"As for the Zhao family, if they want to repay Zhao Ting for his help before the end of the world, they can repay him with points or materials."
“You should live for yourself.”
Liang Xiu nodded, indicating that he knew, but he just wanted to take it one step at a time and wait for Zhao Jingyu to recover before talking about other things.
Seeing Liang Xiu like this, Meng Ci said no more.
