Chapter 841 Everything Returns to Zero
It was at this time that Xu Yajing realized that the long-renowned Chinese medicine master was actually her husband’s brother!
Shen Yanming was not angry when his vest was taken off. He invited the man into the house and they talked about their next plan.
"My sister-in-law's dormitory is a bit small, so I plan to apply for a house in Area B." Li Wanwan is a girl and does not have the ability to build a house on her own, so she plans to pay off her debts with work.
"It's not appropriate for a girl like you to live alone." Zhang Heping frowned, always feeling that this was unsafe.
Li Zhaozhao winked at Shen Yanming, who nodded in understanding: "How about you live with Wanwan?"
"What? I, I, I..." Zhang Heping was like a chicken with feathers blown off its back, his face turned red like a shrimp. But after saying "I" for a long time, he still couldn't come up with any idea.
Ji Kangyong was also fanning the flames: "If you have thought it through, then act quickly. Otherwise, it will not be your turn." They had long discovered that the gender ratio in this base was unbalanced.
Zhang Heping bit his lip and finally nodded: "Okay, Wanwan and I will live together. I just don't know if we can get the marriage certificate now."
Hearing this, Li Zhaozhao chuckled: "Okay, it's enough that you have this intention. Be good to my sister in the future, otherwise, no one here will let you go."
"Yes, we are all Wanwan's family." Bi Qiaoan also came to join the team.
Zhang Heping smiled, but deliberately acted pitiful: "Oh my God, aren't you my family? Woo woo woo, I feel so wronged."
Li Wanwan felt that Zhang Heping's stupidity was a bit embarrassing, so she reached out and pinched him: "That's enough."
Zhang Heping was not shy and grabbed Li Wanwan's hand, holding it tightly: "Don't worry, I will treat you well. Everyone is welcome to supervise me."
"Good!" Everyone cheered. Finally, Zhang Heping asked, "No news from uncle and aunt yet?"
Li Zhaozhao nodded: "It's probably a bad thing."
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Li Zhaozhao interrupted with a smile: "If that's the case, can my sister and Heping live in Area A?"
"Apply first." Shen Yanming was not sure either, but: "Half of the guards haven't come back to report yet, there are vacancies in the dormitory, and it is very likely that you can apply for it."
"I'll apply for it too, and then I'll live next door to Heping." Ji Kangyong said with a smile, "But before I get the dormitory application, I'll have to make do with your house."
Shen Yanming nodded: "Welcome." He glanced at the environment at home and said with regret: "I wanted to cook at home, but now, there is no water, electricity or gas, so I can't cook even if I want to."
"Then let's go to the cafeteria to eat." Li Zhaozhao was too lazy to cook. His small dormitory was only big enough for sleeping, so he had no intention of cooking.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat for the next two days. As the base takes in more and more survivors, I'm afraid we'll have to revise the rules and regulations, and the cafeteria won't last long."
"Well, if there are too many people, we won't be able to cook enough."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go have lunch first."
Shen Yanming led the team to the cafeteria. The food here was all the same, white rice porridge with pickles.
Because everyone has already joined the company, they can receive their meals after swiping their smart bracelets at the door. Each person is limited to one portion, a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles, not much, just enough to eat half full.
There is no way out. They don’t know how long this harvest failure will last, and they dare not empty their food pockets.
No one in the group complained. They finished their porridge and pickles and washed their dishes before leaving the cafeteria.
We had to work in the afternoon, so we went back to the dormitory to rest for a while and then rushed to work.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took An An Nuan Nuan to the agricultural area. After saying hello to Ye Wengui, they followed the guards working there to cultivate the land.
The flood destroyed all the efforts of everyone. The crops and vegetables that had been planted were washed away or soaked. Even the top greenhouses that had been built before the tsunami were damaged.
There were all kinds of garbage on the land, including plastic bags, fish bones, shells, wood, bricks, and cement blocks. It smelled terrible.
The garbage was gathered together and carried to a corner, and the soil on the ground was exposed.
There was a layer of white substance on the brown soil. It was undoubtedly salt. After being soaked in sea water, even the best land would become saline land.
The couple planted some Chinese cabbage in the field, but they didn't know if it would grow. However, the growth cycle of this plant is very short, about 25 days. After harvesting two crops, it would be time to plant wheat.
Others also planted vegetables with short maturation periods, such as lettuce, spinach, green onions, and kale, waiting to harvest them and free up the land to plant other food crops.
Ye Wengui actually set aside more than ten acres of land to plant cabbage, white radish, carrots and other vegetables that take a little longer to mature and are more cold-resistant, to keep for the winter.
There's nothing we can do. It's almost September now. The winter after the apocalypse is extremely cold. After September, the temperature will drop rapidly.
Because they had to clean and plant at the same time, the couple was not very fast. It took them an entire afternoon to plant one acre of land.
After Ye Wengui registered the two people, he let them go back. He also whispered, "I know you have other work to do, so just come every other day."
Shen Yanming nodded, thanked him, and went back with his wife, son and daughter.
The family of four passed by the canteen and had dinner there. They went home and waited for more than two hours before Zhang Heping came back.
As soon as I walked in, I started complaining: "Oh my god, there are so many patients here. Once I got in, it was high-intensity work. I almost couldn't come back."
Shen Yanming handed him a towel and a washbasin: "Wash first." Then he asked: "Is there any equipment at the hospital?"
"Yes, there is no shortage of anything." Zhang Heping was also quite surprised: "Maybe before the tsunami, the escort team took action to preserve the complete medical equipment. I heard from them that they also stockpiled medicines, but not much, and they cannot be regenerated.
The hospital's power supply was restored at the end of July, and it is said that it uses solar panels. As for thermal or hydroelectric power generation, I heard that it is not yet possible. "
Shen Yanming nodded, thinking that it was not so easy to build a large power station. Humans worked hard for so many years to achieve the technological modern age. But a natural disaster brought everything back to zero.
"Where's Lao Ji? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Yes, he's busy. It's said that someone in Area D gathered a group of people to fight over cement blocks. The scene was quite tragic, but the security guards who arrived in time stopped it and no one was killed."
Zhang Heping's tone was calm, and he no longer had the indignation he had at the beginning. On the way back to Hai City, they had seen too many violent fights.
"Then go to bed early, and we'll wait for Lao Ji."
