Chapter 175 This is Heaven
The old man acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued limping forward with one leg.
After walking a few steps, he turned to look at the two children behind him and said, "You, you want to go to the canteen with me?"
The child was stunned for a moment, then followed hand in hand.
"Sister, the police officer just said there's free milk. I'll take you there to drink some."
The little girl was a little dazed. When she heard there was milk to drink, she slowly nodded and even couldn't help licking her lips with her tongue: "Brother, milk is delicious!"
The boy felt very distressed when he saw his sister like this.
Holding her little hand, he took a few quick steps and came to the old man, fearing that if he was slow, Wang Jinyang would catch him back.
Wang Jinyang was furious and wanted to chase after the man and bring him back, but a group of patrol guards passing by scared him and made him shrink back.
Seeing this, the others looked at each other and quickly followed.
The group arrived at the convenience store and saw a lot of people queuing in front of it, so they lined up at the back of the line very neatly.
While waiting, I saw many people carrying rice, flour, grain, oil, and even vegetables and fruits.
Oh my god, there is beef, the kind that is fresh and bone-in.
Each of their eyes widened.
"So, is that real beef?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but say proudly, "Did you guys just arrive at the base today? That's not just real beef, the canteen also sells chicken, duck, pork, and in addition to meat, there's also fish."
This time, several people were shocked.
After entering the extreme cold, they had not seen any fresh ingredients. They never thought that they would see them again one day.
The saliva in their mouths seemed to be uncontrollable and kept secreting, so fast that it almost flowed out from the corners of their mouths.
The old man who led the way couldn't help but ask, "Well, these things must be very expensive, right?"
When they came in, they were told that they had 50 points on their cards, but they didn't know whether these 50 points were enough to buy something to try.
"It's really not cheap!" an old lady couldn't help but sigh.
When they heard this, they were immediately disappointed.
Although this base looks much better than the Haichuan base, it is a private base after all. How could they give such good food to these poor people for no reason?
But soon, the aunt's next sigh startled them: "Chicken, duck, and pork are the cheapest, but they still cost ten points per pound. Beef is the most expensive, fifteen points. A pound of meat is equivalent to my son's daily salary. We usually just buy a few ounces to taste it."
Ten points, fifteen points, so expensive?
A day's wages?
These numbers stunned the old people.
This is too expensive. You have to know that they work at the Haichuan base for a month and can't even eat a bite of meat.
Can you eat a pound of meat after working for a day?
It's incredible.
And what is a day's wage?
Is it possible that this Chenguang base can still pay wages for working every day?
They wanted to ask the aunt in front of them, but they didn't expect that the aunt was already in line.
Then a young man at the window asked with a smile, "Auntie, what would you like to order?"
The old lady greeted the young man with a smile, then said, "Xiaoliang, give me a pound of rice, half a pound of flour, two eggs, a pound of pork, and finally a box of Huoxiang Zhengqi water."
Then he handed in the basket and pass.
Soon, a basket full of things was handed out.
After the aunt left, it was the old man's turn.
The old man didn't know why he stood there in a daze until the young man in front of him woke him up.
Wei Mingliang looked at the old man's moist eyes and couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old man quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm fine! I saw someone bought some Huoxiang Zhengqi water just now. Do you have any more medicine for sale in the store?"
Wei Mingliang nodded: "Well, uncle, do you want to buy medicine too? The store sells commonly used over-the-counter medicines. If you need a prescription, you have to go to the hospital."
Old man: "Hospital? There's a hospital in the base?"
Seeing this, Wei Mingliang knew that this was a new arrival today, so he patiently told him about the situation of the base.
As the old man listened, tears began to fall.
"Old woman, it would be great if you could hold on for a few more days."
The sound was very small, but everyone behind him heard it, and soon sobbing sounds began to ring out.
Many of their relatives died of illness due to lack of medical care and medicine.
When they thought the whole world was like this, they came across a place with a convenience store and a hospital.
How could this not make them collapse?
But no matter how they break down, life must go on.
The old man rented kitchen utensils, bought eggs, vegetables and noodles, and a total of twenty-two points were deducted.
After buying it, I pushed the two children up.
"I heard that the base provides milk for children. I wonder if I can get some now?"
Wei Mingliang: "Sure, did you bring your bowls?"
The little boy shook his head nervously.
Can’t I drink without a bowl?
Seeing how nervous he was, Wei Mingliang took out the bottle and gave it to them: "Remember to return the bottle after you finish it."
The child held the milk and nodded very seriously.
The old man looked at them and said with a smile: "You can drink here. Return the bottle when you are done."
The little boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He was not stupid and knew that the old man did this for his own good.
They said they were a family, but in fact they were all strangers. He was afraid that he and his sister would not be able to drink when they returned.
The little boy helped his sister put in the straw, and then handed his milk to the grandfather: "Grandpa, you drink too."
The old man smiled and touched the child's head and said, "I don't want to drink. You guys drink it."
He also has a grandson who is about the same age as the little boy, and is currently at the Haichuan base with his parents.
I don’t know if they are okay at this time?
If only their whole family could come together, it would be great. Staying in Haichuan Base would be a dead end.
And his grandchildren are still so young.
As he thought of this, the light in his eyes grew brighter and more determined.
He leaned over, leaned close to the little boy's ear, and whispered a few words softly.
Just as they entered the Chenguang Base and began to slowly familiarize themselves with the base, their information was also sent to Wang Anjun.
"Boss, should we tell the base commander that this group of people are not normal at first glance?"
Wang Anjun pondered for a moment, then said, "Keep a close eye on them. I'll mention this when I report to the base commander."
Although the culprits of the riot that day died in the end and their identities were not revealed, they all privately believed that it was done by people from the Haichuan base.
