Chapter 143: Farming for All
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan left the apartment building the day after they were notified that they could go out. They did not stay for long, but just walked around the community. The warm sunshine sprinkled on their bodies, and they both felt that the years were peaceful.
An hour later, the two returned home, but before they had been at home for half an hour, they were called home by Zhang Heping.
As soon as Zhang Heping saw Shen Yanming, he gave Shen Yanming a loving hug. Not only him, but Li Zhaozhao also gave Shen Yanming a loving hug.
Shen Yanming wanted to dodge, but these two people seemed to know what he was thinking and blocked him from the front and the back.
Just like that, Shen Yanming pushed Li Zhaozhao in front of him away with disdain, and pushed Zhang Heping behind him away, and pulled Bi Qiaoan to sit on the sofa.
"Old Shen, on behalf of my parents, my sister and myself, thank you! Thank you for saving my life!" Li Zhaozhao walked up to Shen Yanming and stood in front of him. After saying these words solemnly, he bowed deeply to Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming did not avoid it, but nodded and asked Li Zhaozhao to sit down.
Zhang Heping said, "Old Li, you are such a formalist!", but his actions were the same as Li Zhaozhao's, and he also bowed to Shen Yanming.
"If you hadn't reminded me, I might have been tricked, Lao Shen, thank you!"
Shen Yanming waved his hand and asked them to sit down before saying, "I didn't know there was a problem with the rain. I was just very nervous that day, so I called you quickly. It was our luck that we were able to avoid it!"
Several people laughed, but Shen Yanming said, "I may not be able to warn you next time something happens. After this, I believe everyone has experienced that we are in the end times, and every moment is full of crises. In the past, the country was at the forefront to support us, but in the future, we may also need to remain vigilant at all times."
Li Zhaozhao and Zhang Heping nodded. After this incident, they no longer dared to think of themselves as NPCs holding strategy guides.
As for Ji Kangyong, he can live well without Shen Yanming's reminder. Think about his keen intuition, agile body, and full of survival skills. He is definitely a golden thigh in the apocalypse!
But Shen Yanming is not bad either. After all, he has a golden finger and can definitely fight his way out in the apocalypse.
Several people chatted together for two hours and dispersed without even eating. Shen Yanming reminded them to cook the vegetables and meat before eating, and cook them for a longer time, and the water must also be boiled.
They nodded and went home.
Li Zhaozhao sent Chen Yanming back to 1602, and then sent Ji Kangyong back to 901. Sitting alone in the empty elevator, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Why was he so stupid at the beginning? Why didn’t he know to buy an apartment in Qingyu Community?
On Saturday night, when Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were surfing the Internet, they discovered that the recruitment of laborers had been postponed.
It was originally due to the end of February, but due to the unknown on March 1, many people lost their jobs or are temporarily unable to go to work.
Therefore, the Qinghe Alliance allocated a batch of places to accommodate these unemployed people, and directly extended the registration time for labor workers to mid-March.
However, even if it is extended, there are only a few days left.
At 9:30 in the evening, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan received a notice from Director Zhu in the company’s WeChat group, saying that they would go to work as usual next Monday. After they replied in the group that they had received it, they didn’t pay any more attention to it.
When they got back to work, they realized they hadn't seen everyone for a long time.
In fact, it’s only been a few days, but my colleagues have changed so much.
Especially Yu Shui, who is now skinny and lifeless, and even walks limply as if he has no strength. Bi Qiaoan also noticed that the skin on Yu Shui's wrists is covered with bumps.
Others, such as Li Yinhe and Cui Xian, were also very skinny and something was wrong with them. Bi Qiaoan wondered if their family members were blind and didn't know to take them to the hospital even though they were in such a bad condition?
What Bi Qiaoan didn't know was that most people in Qinghua Country had lost weight. Although Yu Shui and Cui Xian's families noticed that they had lost weight, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, no one had been eating well in the past six months, so wasn't it normal to lose weight?
This time Bi Qiaoan did not speak, but just sat quietly in her seat. Shen Yanming did ask, "Why are you so skinny that you are just a bag of bones?"
As a result, they complained bitterly about their miserable lives during this period. They said they had to hide at home and were not allowed to go out. They could not buy food on the black market, and they had to calculate the pitiful food reserves at home every day to survive for so many days.
They are so thin, they must be hungry!
After the Qinghe Alliance notified them that they could go out, several people went to the black market without any prior arrangement, bought a lot of different meats, went home and stewed them all, and finally filled their stomachs.
Shen Yanming was also speechless, shook his head and returned to his seat.
At this moment, Shen Yanming thought of Lin Yongke, who was an extremely smart man. He could extract key information from a few seemingly plausible words from others and make countermeasures.
Shen Yanming felt emotional, and he didn't know how Lin Yongke was doing now.
In mid-March, the temperature in Qinghua began to rise. After a not-so-nice rainfall, the land was moistened and living plants began to sprout.
The Qinghe Alliance dispatched staff from local agricultural bureaus to conduct investigations and received the investigation report a few days later. It was estimated that more than 40% of the plants died during the dry season.
This time, the Qinghe Alliance did not dare to rely on the hints of the dream predictor. A lot of work had to be done. Even if it was proved to be useless in the end, they had to try it first.
Therefore, the Qinghe Alliance accelerated the screening of laborers, and soon the third and fourth batches of laborers were arranged for training at the local agricultural bureau. After three days of simple training, they were directly sent to local suburban farms to start scientific farming.
At the end of March, the Qinghe Alliance issued a regulation that starting this year, everyone will be farming!
The Qinghe Alliance further reduced the residents' grain and vegetable quotas, but decided to allocate a piece of land to each urban resident. As for those with rural household registration, they already had land and no more land would be allocated.
Qinghua State stipulates that each urban resident can be allocated one acre of land, and the specific location can be applied for by the unit or the community.
If you have a suitable location, you can go to Qinghe Alliance for direct approval. If not, Qinghe Alliance will allocate you undeveloped land in the countryside, or directly allocate you wasteland in the mountains.
Well, in either case, you need to develop the allocated land yourself.
