Chapter 944 He is very happy
"But you are from Southern Province!"
"Oh, I have a friend in Hai City, and I came here to seek refuge with him this time."
"Okay." Liang Zheng curled his lips, thinking that the person you took refuge with was really unlucky. In this day and age, no one can resist the begging of poor relatives.
But I just thought about it in my mind. It was someone else's private matter and I didn't dare to interfere.
"Okay then. Wait until you're settled, then ask for news from your friends."
Zeng Yiming nodded, seeming grateful for the other party's reminder.
"Okay, now that you've registered, follow me. Your accommodation will be in Area D. Since the houses on the base were built brick by brick, you have to pay a certain amount of credit points if you want to live there.
I know you don’t have it, but the rules cannot be broken. Either you follow the laborers to build houses, or you go out to work and pay off your debts.”
Everyone was disappointed when they heard this. Well, I just moved in and I'm already in debt.
"But don't worry too much. Our Haishi is still very humane. As long as you work hard, you can pay off your debts and live a relaxed and comfortable life."
"Come on, this is your dormitory."
Wang Yi pushed open a dormitory and showed it to everyone. There was nothing inside except a bed.
The area is not large, only about 10 square meters. But it is very solid, made of bricks, tiles and cement, not yellow mud.
“Not bad.”
"Yeah." Everyone nodded politely, "Not bad."
That’s true. Some of them used to live in caves or thatched houses, but now they are very lucky to have a brick house like this.
"That's fine. I'll just assign them. This room belongs to Yi Xiao and Liang Tian, the one next to it belongs to Qi Min, and next to it, Ke Wu..."
"Hey, this room is yours, Zeng Yiming, and the one next to it is your parents'."
Zeng Yiming nodded and asked, "There's no heating here, how do we survive the winter?"
"Light the stove. You can pick up firewood outside and store it in the house, or you can directly use credit points to exchange for coal at the base. If you feel it's not warm enough, you can also build a kang in the house."
"Well. What if I don't know how to build a kang?"
"Go ask around and see if there are any neighbors who know how to build a kang and are willing to help. Or you can just ask the security guards to help, but you have to pay them."
Zeng Yiming: "...Why does it feel like you guys need credit points everywhere?"
"Ha, that shows that we have order here. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will have bread and milk. When you really integrate into this place, you will know how good our Haishi base is."
"Okay."
Because Zeng Yiming was the last one, Wang Yi made arrangements for him and prepared to leave.
Zeng Yiming saw this and offered to see him off. Wang Yi could see that he had something to ask, so he didn't refuse.
"Brother Yi, please tell me, is there a guard named Shen Yanming in the base?" Zeng Yiming asked in a low voice.
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at him intently and asked, "Who are you to him?"
"Friends." Zeng Yiming said.
"Yes, there is." Wang Yi nodded, not hiding anything. As for the couple's reputation, even if he didn't tell them, they would know it in a few days.
Wang Yi waited for a long time, but Zeng Yiming didn't ask any more questions. He was surprised: "You don't ask his address?"
"Ha, he and I are friends, but I'm not here to ask for support. It's not easy these days. I'm just asking."
"Yeah." Wang Yi was a little surprised, but didn't say much.
After seeing Wang Yi off, Zeng Yiming went to visit the old residents around.
Everyone was very friendly, and when they heard they were new, they all started sharing their life experiences.
Zeng Yiming benefited a lot and wanted to thank the other party, but he was penniless and could not give anything. Instead, the neighbors gave them some food, which helped the family of three get through the most difficult first week.
Afterwards, Zeng Yiming found a job at the base, reclaiming wasteland and farming. Although the work was tiring, he felt very satisfied when he saw the credit points in his account increasing day by day.
In order to repay his debts as quickly as possible, Zeng's father applied to the base for permission to build a house.
Although he was quite old, fortunately the building materials were readily available, and since they were all one-story houses, it didn't take much effort. After a while, he built a qualified dormitory.
Even though the debt was paid off, in order to earn more food, Zeng's father continued to work on the front line repairing the house until the temperature got lower and lower.
Zeng's mother was unable to do physical work, so she followed the neighbors out to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms and collect firewood.
In July and August, the wild vegetables have already aged. But in order to fill the stomach, no one cares about the taste. If you are lucky, you can pick several kilograms a day, but if you are unlucky, you may only pick a handful.
However, a lot of firewood was collected and it filled up the whole room.
When Zeng Yiming received his first month's salary, he asked someone to help him build a kang.
It's still warm now, so people can just stay there for a few nights, it won't have much of an impact. And the kang dries quickly, unlike in winter, when it can't dry naturally and needs to be heated, and once heated, it's easy to crack.
Zeng's father and Zeng Yiming both had jobs, so the pressure at home wasn't that great. Zeng's mother also followed others' example and reclaimed wasteland outside the base, bought some seeds and planted them, so she lived a happy life.
Their family integrated into the society quickly and feels that their life is good now.
It's not like the foot of Kunmeng Mountain at all. There are too many people and it's crowded every day. Even if you work hard, you still can't get enough to eat.
The base in Kunmeng Mountain said that the population was too large because residents from the east and west were gathered together. The reserve supplies were insufficient, and if they ate everything they could, they would not be able to survive for two years.
Many people chose to leave after knowing this. But Kunmeng Mountain is too far to the east, so it is not easy to go back.
The base at the foot of Kunmeng Mountain was under less pressure because some people left, but several nearby bases could not bear it.
It's like a vicious cycle. Wherever they go, conditions become worse.
Finally, Zeng Yiming made up his mind to come to Shen Yanming. That guy said that if he encountered difficulties, he would help him.
He had never thought about adding burden to others before, but now, looking at his parents' increasingly thinner bodies and increasingly hunched backs, he felt that he could no longer put up with this.
So, the family discussed it together and decided to travel through mountains and rivers, spending a year to finally arrive in Hai City.
In the meantime, they temporarily lived in some bases. The seemingly tolerant but actually harsh living conditions made everyone depressed. Unlike here, as long as you work hard, the base will not treat you unfairly.
It was at that base that I met these friends, and when spring came and flowers bloomed, we set out together. From spring to autumn, we finally returned to Haishi.
Zeng Yiming felt that he was very happy.
And everything was on track, so there was nothing else that needed Lao Shen's help. He didn't look for her deliberately, but fate was like that, and they met soon.
