Chapter 173: One Stone, Five Birds, Hidden Merit and Fame
Jingshu couldn't find an adjective for the moment, but there must be people who are richer than those who own villas, such as the home of Qian Duoduo, the richest man in Xishan.
"We were brought here because we have no connections. You know the government's residential complex for civil servants? There are tens of thousands of people there. Yesterday, we were all assigned to the home of the richest man, Qian Duoduo. I have no idea how big Qian Duoduo's house is."
Some people have their own mobile villas, and the richest people have several mountains, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people in times of disaster.
Qian Duoduo: You won’t believe it if I tell you this, but I don’t even know how big my house is.
When passing by the 5th hole, my uncle even said hello to Jingma, but my aunt only had time to take a quick glance and said: "This hole is not bad."
When we passed the 6th hole, we couldn't move our legs. People were squeezing in, and many people could only lie down. The mud and red nematodes were jumping around under our feet. My aunt said to Jingshu why she was dressed like that and armed herself so well...
My aunt was quite disgusted at first, but when we got to the 7th hole, she was stunned. It was even smaller than the 6th hole, and there was no way 300 people could fit in! It was a bit crowded even just standing there.
"How can you sleep when you're so young?"
"That's right, why not go back to sleep in the West Mountain? The terrain there is high and it will definitely not be flooded."
"Hey, at least we can hold on for two days until the flood recedes!"
There was a lot of noise in the crowd, so Jingshu took the opportunity to say goodbye.
My aunt-in-law had worked in a pyramid scheme before, and she was very good at talking. She settled the people in a short time, sent more than a dozen people to stay in other places, and assigned several people to take shifts, so that everyone had a place to stay.
Returning to her cleaned shed, Jingshu took off her raincoat, asked Feiji to clean the red nematodes on it, and sat down to drink a cup of warm brown sugar ginger water.
"Have your uncle and his men settled so many people? I know your aunt. She will definitely come to us and ask us to assign some people. If we don't handle it well, we will offend people on both sides, and your uncle will be like a sandwich." Jing's mother took out the bread and started slicing it. She was a little confused. Why did the child suddenly make more than a dozen large loaves of bread for no reason?
"If you want to bring someone here, fine. As long as we can create value, the people in our community won't object. Mom, what are you going to do if my aunt wants to live with us later?"
"Of course you can live here. We are all family, but we only have seven single tents. If your father and I squeeze together, we can only give one to Su Long. There is still room for us on the boat. But no matter how much we are a family, if you only know how to ask for things but not how to give back, I won't recognize you. Let's see what your aunt says later!" Jing's mother was also saddened by Su Meimei.
Jingshu gave a thumbs up, Jingma has also changed a lot.
Jingma's prediction was as good as a god. As expected, my aunt came, but this time she didn't come empty-handed. Instead, she brought a turtle the size of a palm.
"Look, this old turtle Su Long fished out of the water the day before yesterday. It died this morning because I didn't feed it. It's still fresh. I wanted to make soup with it, but I didn't have fire at home, so I thought of bringing it to you."
Jing Shu turned her head and saw, "This is not an old turtle, it's a tortoise. It would be a waste to use it to make soup. It's better to make medicinal wine."
Jingshu didn't expect that there would be such a pleasant surprise today. Now there are still turtles. It seems that she has to go to the place where Su Long had fished out turtles when she has time to see if there are any more. The medicinal value of turtles is really great, especially when soaked in wine with snakes. It is simply tailor-made for the second year of the apocalypse.
Now all we need is a snake... Where can we get one? Wait... There seem to be two snakes in Cave 4? Should we get them to make a turtle and snake wine?
Jingshu was too busy after her rebirth, and the things she prepared were all in high demand, so she really had no time to deal with things like turtles and snakes. She also felt that there was no place to keep too many animals, and it would be a waste of food. Until now, she has the ability to raise more, and now she can't help but feel a little regretful.
Unfortunately, the turtle died and could only be kept in the space for preservation, otherwise Jingshu would definitely keep it and look for opportunities to reproduce.
The eldest aunt smiled awkwardly: "Who knows what it is? Anyway, you have fire and pot, you can cook whatever you want. Jingshu, auntie came here to ask you a favor, can you squeeze Su Long to sleep with you? He's alone, and Lao Su and I don't need it."
…
Wang Fang successfully added another person to Hole 5, so Hole 7 was just less crowded, and Hole 5, where Jingshu was, still had enough space for the number of people.
Of course, people don’t live here for free; they are willing to do physical labor.
"Because of the resettlement of villas in the Ecological Park Square, there are a lot of bricks that have been pulled out. Everyone needs to pick up at least 100 bricks. There are also a lot of stones. There are also dead trees in the caves. We have to bring them back."
"The cave will be cold and damp at night. If it rains like this, water will definitely accumulate in the cave. So we have to sleep higher. To keep the temperature high, we can only burn wood. But if we want to ensure the heating area and time, heating stones is a good choice."
....
Jingshu smiled and patted Wu Youai: "This is all I can do for you."
This was the first time Wu Youai admired Jingshu so much. When she knew that she had to arrange for new people to come in, she was a little worried because two groups of people were difficult to manage, and suddenly squeezing so many people in would cause trouble.
But Jingshu didn't expect that a few words from her not only made both parties happy, but also allowed her to gain political achievements for free. Is this the so-called killing three birds with one stone?
Jingshu first asked people to do free labor, and then taught everyone how to live more comfortably on such a cold night. As a result, everyone in the community became active.
In fact, Jingshu did this for a reason. It's good for you, it's good for everyone, so she won't cause trouble. Seeing her family using a heater and drinking warm soup won't cause a strong reaction. Moreover, Jingshu's family is also one of the beneficiaries of this. The temperature in the cave is comfortable at night, and she is comfortable too.
Sometimes helping others is also helping yourself.
"Is this perhaps considered a way to hide one's fame and achievements? What could be better than commanding others to achieve one's own goals while I enjoy my meals in peace?"
So when having lunch at Jingshu's house, no one paid attention to the luxurious lunch being enjoyed, but was busy preparing for bed at night.
Jingshu didn't know that her action actually helped her a lot.
Zhou Dafu led Zhou Dasheng through the five holes several times, and the two of them successfully stepped on the spot. "When your people rush over, sit on the ground and refuse to leave. I will mix in there in advance and throw the snake over. Then you can shout loudly for help! There is a snake! My people will call Zhou Dasheng over..."
