Chapter 81 Shuiyue Bay
In the face of great disasters, some people choose to go with the flow and be an obedient puppet at the mercy of others. Some people choose to take risks and create their own world. Some people choose to do their best to open up a paradise in this chaotic world.
The staff member stuffed the canned meat that Xia Xiaoman had taken out into his arms and whispered, "Do you know where Shuiyue Bay in Yunli District is?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded. Of course she knew. Two years ago, Shuiyuewan withdrew the community property management under the complaint of all the owners, and a few well-known women in the community were responsible for managing and arranging the community affairs.
At the end of the year, the owners of Shuiyue Bay not only did not have to pay expensive property fees, but also received the community elevator advertising fees that should have belonged to them.
This incident was even reported on Fucheng News, causing quite a stir. Many communities followed Shuiyue Bay’s example, but because other communities were not as united as Shuiyue Bay’s owners, all of them failed.
"There are still 6 vacant villas in Shuiyue Bay. The villas there are all stand-alone small buildings, but the area is a bit small, 150 square meters. But it comes with a small garden of 100 square meters. If you have more supplies, you can also fence this small garden."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Isn't there any self-built house?"
The staff shook his head and said, "You also said it was a self-built house. The house was built by the owner himself. As long as the person is still there, the house cannot be empty."
"The houses in Shuiyue Bay are pretty good. You can go take a look first and then consider whether to move there."
He suddenly remembered something, stood up and said, "I think I have some pictures of the Shuiyue Bay villa area here. Wait a minute, I'll go in and look for it."
As he said this, he went into the inner room and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. A few minutes later, he took out an eco-friendly bag with Shuiyue Bay Villa District printed on it and walked out. "Look, this is the promotional photo of Shuiyue Bay Villa District."
The pattern on the bag is badly faded, but the general appearance of the villa can still be seen.
The villa style is an old style from many years ago. The house is surrounded by a garden. There is no open balcony or garage on the first floor. There are only a few large windows and a back door leading to the backyard.
Each bedroom on the second floor has an independent small balcony, and the third floor is a European-style attic with no balcony, only a skylight.
Compared to the empty villa she had just seen, the villa in Shuiyue Bay was more private. If she really moved there, she would only need to seal half of the large windows on the first floor.
"How about this villa? Is it nice?" asked the staff.
Xia Xiaoman did not answer immediately, but asked: "How come there are still 6 vacancies in such a nice villa?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Shuiyue Bay is different from other places. If a stranger wants to live here, he needs to pay rent and go through an interview with their security department. Only after passing the interview and paying the rent can he move in."
Xia Xiaoman looked puzzled. "I can understand paying the rent, but what does the interview mean?"
The staff explained: "During the heavy rain and flood, a group of people went to Shuiyue Bay to rob. Many people died in Shuiyue Bay during those days. I heard that the water near Shuiyue Bay was red for three whole days."
"After that incident, Shuiyue Bay does not allow outsiders to enter. Even search and rescue personnel must obtain the consent of the Shuiyue Bay Security Department before entering the community."
"Later, the post-disaster reconstruction work gradually got on track, and the public security in Fucheng improved. Shuiyue Bay then allowed outsiders to live in the community. But in order to prevent people with bad intentions from sneaking in, everyone who moved into Shuiyue Bay had to pass an interview and pay rent before they could move in."
Xia Xiaoman asked: "In other places, as long as the house is vacant, you can live there for free. Shuiyue Bay requires an interview and charges a fee. Will anyone still want to move in?"
"Of course there are. A lot of people are trying their best to move to Shuiyue Bay."
The unity of Shuiyue Bay is beyond everyone's imagination.
In the early stages of the flood, the owners of Shuiyue Bay failed to react in time and were taken advantage of by others, resulting in heavy casualties in the community.
But after the robbery, Shuiyue Bay people united again. In just a few days, Shuiyue Bay established a salvage team, a maintenance team, a material management team and a patrol security team.
In the community, everyone from 80-year-old ladies to 5- or 6-year-old children, as long as they could move, were assigned to work.
Those who are good at swimming join the salvage team and go out to salvage underwater supplies every day. Those who are smart and skillful join the maintenance team, building boats and rafts or repairing electrical appliances salvaged from underwater.
The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled joined the material management team and were responsible for sorting the salvaged materials, drying all the materials that needed to be dried, boiling ginger soup and hot water for people who went out, and doing the logistics work.
The patrol security team, as the name suggests, is responsible for the security of the community. There are people on duty 24 hours a day in Shuiyue Bay, and this habit continues to this day.
After the flood, Shuiyuewan immediately cleaned up the sludge in the community and arranged for people to open up farmland in the community. Except for the main road, all other open spaces were filled with mud.
While others were still digging the sludge, Shuiyue Bay had already tried every possible way to get crops to plant.
After the crops were planted, they determined based on their own judgment where supplies might be buried, and then sent people to dig out the supplies from the mud, cleaned them out, used those that could be used, and found ways to repair those that could not be used, trying to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible.
Shuiyue Bay is a place of solidarity and friendship with a high safety factor. In the eyes of most people, it is a rare paradise in Fucheng.
"Living in Shuiyue Bay, you don't have to be on guard against your neighbors every day, and you don't have to worry about thieves breaking into your home in the middle of the night. If you get bullied when you go out, you can ask the security department for help..."
The staff member spoke in detail about the situation in Shuiyue Bay, and a look of longing unconsciously appeared on his face.
Xia Xiaoman asked: "How much is the monthly rent for Shuiyue Bay?"
"I'm not sure. Most people were rejected without even passing the interview."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
"Then why did you introduce Shuiyue Bay to me? Do you think I can pass the interview?"
The staff member laughed awkwardly and said, "You are small and thin, so you may easily gain sympathy. Maybe your chances of passing the interview will be higher."
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes speechlessly, "I'll think about Shuiyue Bay again. Are there any other houses?"
"There are a lot of empty two-story shops on Wholesale Street, but they are all connected side by side, which may not meet your requirements."
"There is also a three-story kindergarten on Fumin Street that is also vacant, but it's a bit messy over there, so I don't recommend you live there."
The staff mentioned five or six places in a row, saying either the house was not suitable or the location was not suitable.
After choosing and choosing, Xia Xiaoman still couldn't find the house she liked.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go to Shuiyue Bay tomorrow to have a look. If the house in Shuiyue Bay is not suitable, she can only choose an empty villa.
