Xu Qing discussed with her mother yesterday that night is the time when zombies are most active, but when they arrived here, there were fewer and fewer zombies. Occasionally they saw a few, but they were all far away from here and did not come close.
Plus, there is electricity and water here.
Once you see it, you don’t want to leave.
Although Xu Bai only asked He Minxing that one question, He Minxing knew in her heart that she might be asked to stay to cook or something.
The children said that if you work here you will have food to eat.
But food is scarce, is there a need for a cook like her?
He Minxing was both happy and worried.
She and Xu Qing had previously joined a small team. They worked tirelessly every day but could only get one or two small pieces of bread. Even a sip of water was a luxury.
Now, she still has an income of 3,000 yuan a month, so she should be able to buy some food in that convenience store, right?
He Minxing had beautiful thoughts.
After processing their resident ID cards, Xu Bai asked Jiao Yangyang to take them to the staff dormitory.
During this half month, the original orphanage had changed a lot.
She won two houses and a warehouse in the lottery.
Moreover, by selling the food she grew, she paid back some of the energy she owed to the system, and her health improved a lot. In addition, she completed tasks from time to time, and also bought a lot of other daily small items.
Most of them are system rewards, such as the water dispenser and the upgrade of the registration hall.
The original registration hall was built in a random classroom. Later, it was gradually transformed into its current appearance, with classic white desks and a large screen hanging on the top. There was no news displayed on it, and the walls were painted white. A lot of the original walls were also demolished.
The office area is therefore very spacious.
The orphanage is no longer just its original area. These days, Xu Bai is expanding the yard every day.
She drew two houses, each of which was only two stories high with a small courtyard and all the necessary appliances. Xu Bai was currently living in one of them, while Jiao Nanmu and Jiao Yangyang were living in the other.
Seeing how miserable they were, Jiao Nanmu asked them to go to his house to take a bath.
As for clothes?
There were bathrobes in the house, so Xu Qing and He Minxing washed their own clothes and came out wearing bathrobes.
Only when the clean water splashed on their bodies did Xu Qing and He Minxing feel like they were alive again.
But since this was not their own staff dormitory but someone else's home, Xu Qing and He Minxing quickly washed themselves and came out.
As soon as they came out of the bathroom, they smelled the fragrance of rice, and Xu Qing and He Minxing swallowed their saliva.
"Come and have dinner."
"The food was brought here by the city lord and asked me to cook it."
"It's just that I guess you haven't eaten well recently and don't like greasy food, so I took the initiative to cook porridge and some light dishes."
Jiao Nanmu greeted them with a smile. It's not that no one had come here these days, but there were always some who didn't want to work and just wanted to steal things, so they were naturally driven out.
Xu Qing and He Minxing were the first group of people to stay behind besides their father and son.
Xu Qing and He Minxing thanked him quickly and started eating. They didn't mind the hot porridge as they ate it mouthful by mouthful. The hot porridge flowed smoothly in their stomachs and they felt very comfortable.
She had never tasted such delicious porridge.
"Don't worry, there's more. But remember not to eat too much, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." Seeing that He Minxing and Xu Qing were eating in a hurry, Jiao Nanmu persuaded them with a smile.
But as they were eating, Xu Qing and He Minxing, mother and daughter, started crying and hugging each other.
Jiao Yangyang was startled and quickly held Jiao Nanmu's hand tightly.
He Minxing was older after all, so he came to his senses after crying for a while. Seeing the children next to him with their eyes wide open in a daze, he quickly tried to persuade Xu Qing.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Xiaoqing and I were so excited that we haven't had a decent meal in the past few days."
"You're welcome, Auntie. It's a relief that you came to our Dawn City. Work hard and your life will get better and better."
"By the way, Auntie, you need to cook a meal at noon for the City Lord to taste."
He Minxing quickly agreed and said several good words.
Xu Qing and He Minxing, mother and daughter, naturally lived together, but their staff dormitory was naturally not a small villa like Jiao Nanmu's, but the dormitory of the kindergarten teachers who came to teach the children in the orphanage.
The house near the orphanage has no water or electricity.
Jiao Nanmu promised them that they could come to his house to get water, but the mother and daughter would have to pay some of the monthly water bill.
Afraid they would think too much.
Jiao Nanmu told them that the city lord had only built these two houses now, and there would definitely be better ones in the future. As long as they worked hard and applied after the new houses were built, they would definitely be able to live in such a good house.
Before the end of the world, Jiao Nanmu was a junior executive in a large factory. He could say these things without hesitation, but the main thing was that he was not making big promises. These days, the orphanage, oh no, Dawn City has been changing more and more.
Their city lord even possesses the ability to build infrastructure.
Won’t there be a lot of new houses?
In fact, Xu Qing and He Minxing did not think much about it. As long as they had a place to live and food to eat in a safe place, how could they have the mind to think about the small house they lived in without water and electricity?
After Jiao Nanmu took them to the dormitory, he asked them to familiarize themselves with the environment and come to him if they had any questions.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Xu Qing hugged He Minxing excitedly.
"Mom, we've come to a good place."
"Yes, Xiaoqing, we must work hard in the future and not slack off like we did in the company before."
"Such a nice place, but your uncle and aunt's family are the ones who are dying to come here."
He Minxing snorted angrily, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of longing for the future.
"Mom, let's go to the convenience store and see what they have. Although we don't have any money right now, you and I both have a salary of 6,000. I don't know what the consumption here is like and whether it's enough to spend."
The two walked hand in hand to the convenience store. It felt great not to have to worry about zombies.
I originally thought that the convenience store wouldn't have many things to sell, and even if it did, the prices would definitely be extremely high. But I didn't expect that there would even be snacks here. The prices were only twice as high as before the apocalypse, but in the apocalypse, that was a huge bargain!
Unfortunately, the only drawback is that it is a convenience store, not a supermarket, and does not sell clothes.
Xu Qing was holding the bathrobe with some worries. The two of them only had one set of clothes, but it was a bit tattered. They would start work tomorrow. How could they wear tattered clothes every day?
Just when they were worried, Xu Bai happened to come to the convenience store. Seeing them hesitating in their bathrobes, he understood what was going on.
He quickly took them to the storage room.
Jiao Nanmu is a grown man after all, so it is normal for him to be careless in some aspects.
