Chapter 190 Extreme Cold. Where to Go
Among the people at the table, Chu An was the one who spoke the least, and spent most of the time watching them laugh and joke.
After Miao Miao finished speaking, Tang Xiao began to talk about the strange things he encountered while driving a taxi, including a terrifying student in white, a funny fight between a couple, and a person who left valuables behind.
"I once picked up a high school student who left his birthday cake and diamond necklace in my taxi. How come kids these days are so rich? I still remember the words 'May you have a safe life' written on the cake."
Gu Ye stood up and looked at Tang Xiao in surprise, "Brother Tang, I've taken your taxi before."
Tang Xiaozheng laughed so hard that he fell back, and quickly straightened himself up, "Are you the owner?"
Gu Ye hurriedly shook Chu An's arm and said with a wronged look: "Brother Tang testified for me that I really bought you a birthday cake and birthday present. I didn't lie to you."
On her birthday last year, Gu Ye asked her to go to a nearby place late at night, thinking there was some surprise for her, but he treated her to an ice cream and said he had left his birthday cake and birthday present in the car.
Chu An did not doubt what he said, but perhaps because he was too sleepy, his attitude was a little perfunctory.
"I sent the cake and necklace to the radio station. Did you receive them in the end?"
"I received it, but the cake is broken." Gu Ye was melancholy. He didn't have the chance to give the necklace again because of the natural disaster. But fortunately, he still had the chance to stay with Xiao An, and that was enough.
"I really want to go back to high school. I still have a lot of regrets." Huo Sisi glanced at Chu An and said with emotion, "If there were no natural disasters, now would be your best time."
Yin Tianlin was very good at reading people's expressions, and he raised his glass hastily, "Let's clink glasses together, so that we can have barbecue, hot pot, and Australian lobster in the future..."
Everyone responded collectively that food is just an excuse. What everyone misses is the prosperous times in the past, but unfortunately it will not exist in the next five years.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
The happy topic came to an abrupt end without anyone noticing, and everyone started talking about their recent troubles again.
Li Rong met a "little princess" in the shelter. She was very sweet and would hit people if she disagreed with them.
"She kept saying she wanted to go to the agricultural base, but she never went until we left."
This base was built by a large state-owned agricultural group. In its heyday, one-third of China's grain came from this group.
After the end of the world, they relied on their own advantages to set up private bases. They developed cold-resistant rice, potatoes and drought-resistant sweet potatoes. However, the price was very high and many bases could not afford it.
The top leaders of Beijing City had been forbearing, and finally found two agricultural bosses when it was extremely hot. They successfully developed enhanced drought-resistant food and enriched the food variety so that they were not constrained by the agricultural base.
Later, inspired by their patriotism, more and more scientific researchers turned to the country, and the agricultural base gradually lost its advantages.
Miao Miao seemed to be thinking about something. "I think I know who you are talking about. Does he always wear a wristband on his wrist?"
"Yes, that's her."
"She's the mayor's daughter and hasn't even graduated from high school." Miao Miao warned very seriously, "She has bipolar disorder, so don't mess with her."
Huo Sisi waved her hands hastily, "I will never go to the shelter again. I won't run into you, don't worry."
"That's good. By the way, I heard that you were cheated of a lot of food. What happened?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Yin Tianlin. Only he could heal this scar.
He had figured it out these past few days and realized that as long as he was alive he still had a chance, so he told the story.
The warehouse manager is divided into two positions, one for daytime and one for nighttime. The person competing with Yin Tianlin is named Zhao, and he used to be a lawyer.
He did not have as many supplies as Yin Tianlin gave him, and was assigned to be in charge at night. He was not convinced, so he moved a lot of things out during his shift, then found someone to steal Yin Tianlin's keys and framed him for embezzlement.
Yin Tianlin had no way to defend himself and was almost sent to dig coal. Fortunately, Li Rong, Tang Xiao and Huo Sisi handed over all the supplies and replaced them with someone who was responsible for the poor supervision.
The leaders ordered them to replenish their supplies with grain within one month, and if they didn't have grain, they would use labor to pay off their debts.
They got a temporary pass to go out with the help of Luoyang, and they will have to go back in a few days.
Chu An knew the situation in the shelter very well, and asked them what their plans for the future were.
Young Master Yin said that if there was no other choice, he would go to the construction base. It was hard, but at least he would be eligible to live in the base. His supplies were all lost in the shelter, and he was not sure if he could get a base occupancy permit.
Entering the base is not as easy as entering the shelter. It is rumored that you need to hand in 30-300 kilograms of food.
Miao Miao put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully: "If you believe me, you can go to some better communities."
Her words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
“After the disaster, although the government tried its best to preserve its strength, it inevitably lost a lot of people. In addition, many people chose to return to their families, and the government’s functions were almost paralyzed.
So no matter what, the government cannot take care of all the refugees. The higher-ups came up with a solution, which is community self-government.
Now many communities in City C have united to fight the disaster together, with good results, such as the Military District Compound, Sunshine Community, District 7, etc.
You guys should find a community with development to live in now. If you can become a community leader or building leader, when the base is built, you will retain your original position and accept everyone. If you do a good job, you can be promoted. "
Huo Sisi's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, it's a roundabout way to save the country."
Tang Xiao also nodded, "Now many communities have implemented the collective system, and will provide assistance to households. As long as you don't leave, you can survive. However, outsiders will be excluded. There are also many people in Qingrun Apartment. Why don't we continue to work with Ouyang."
"Qingrun seems to be in trouble. Now there are many eyes staring at Qingrun's apartment. Damn it, I don't know who spread the rumor. When I first entered the shelter, when others heard that it was Qingrun who went there, they asked me if there was really a treasure."
Several people nodded, and they were also questioned.
“Qingrun Apartment will probably not be peaceful in the future.”
Miao Miao shook her head. "This is secondary. The main reason is that Qingrun Apartment is not registered with the government, so it may not be able to develop. I advise you to go to a larger community."
Several people fell silent again, and they didn't know where to go.
Gu Ye was a little drunk and was struggling with the sugar-coated potatoes. He didn't understand what they were saying at all.
Chuan held his chopsticks and helped him put the potatoes into the bowl, earning a bright smile.
The interaction between the two of them was out of tune with the surroundings and even a bit provocative.
Yin Tianlin suddenly asked, "Xiaoan, Xiaoye, what do you two think?"
Chu An didn't want to move. It was safe here with Li Qing protecting him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to make a name for himself.
"As long as the government has patrols, safety should be no problem. Gu Ye and I don't have any lofty ambitions, so we don't want to leave."
"Mr. Yin, you have to think carefully. This is your only chance. Once the base is fully staffed, it will be difficult to get a position."
"Then which community do you think we should go to?" Huo Sisi asked weakly.
