Chapter 307 Settlement Point
Seeing Ji He nod, he became a little worried and continued, "Don't go upstairs. Those people are powerful and not easy to mess with. The same goes for the people on this floor. Most of them are gifted and have bad tempers. They are also fearless. You should try to go out less often."
"By the way, let me tell you first, people living on the 7th and 8th floors will not get free bean cakes and water."
After saying that, he looked at Ji He's somewhat childish face and added, "This is the city's regulation. If a gifted person wants to get bean cakes, that's fine, but they have to live downstairs."
Everyone knows that upstairs is good and downstairs is bad.
But someone has to live in the poor house, and drawing lots or something like that won’t be completely convincing.
It’s better to divide them based on precious food, so that even if there are complaints, they will be much less.
After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji He.
She stuffed a handful of red dates into his palm.
"Uncle, one of my relatives lives in the toilet area on the second floor. Some of them are in poor health. Can you help them move to another room upstairs? Oh, and don't say it was me who said that."
The uncle stuffed the dates into his pocket, touched them, gave Ji He a look that showed understanding, nodded, turned around and walked out quickly.
Ji He saw him leave, took one last look inside the room, locked the door with his key, and turned to leave.
She didn't tell Director Xu when she left, for fear that she would worry, so she had to tell her now.
When she went out, she found that the people who had been arguing had stopped arguing.
The crowd that was watching the excitement also dispersed.
Some of them are returning to their own places to rest, while others are cooking.
It can be seen that people's living standards are gradually rising.
The people on the bottom floors were thirsty and hungry, and they couldn't even drink a sip of hot water because it was not yet time for the unified distribution of food and water.
The talented people upstairs had already changed into dry clothes and were lying on comfortable mats, ready to start eating.
Many families with better conditions brought pots to the shelter and were now using portable stoves to cook porridge, in which you could vaguely see some green leafy vegetables.
It is in stark contrast to the people below.
No wonder bean cakes are not distributed.
If people who can already eat rice porridge were to receive free bean cakes, I guess the people downstairs would really protest.
Most gifted people also have families. If there is a gifted person in a family, the whole family can live a relatively good life.
Many of them saw Ji He walking out alone. Although they were a little curious, no one came up to talk to him.
Just now they saw that the girl came up here alone with the supervisor.
Those who can live on the 7th floor are basically gifted people. Who knows what this girl's talent is? In this case, no one wants to make an enemy for no reason.
Aren’t you afraid? You have several family members behind you.
So many people watched Ji He leave, but no one approached her. Everyone was watching.
However, there was one person in the crowd who looked at Ji He's receding figure with a look of shock.
If she was not mistaken, this person should be Ji He.
But how come Ji He is here?
Ji He went downstairs. The atmosphere above the 5th floor was still quite peaceful. Everyone had brought enough things with them and had already started going downstairs to get water to wash clothes.
Below the 5th floor, the atmosphere is very bad.
Not many people can take off their wet clothes and cover themselves with a dry blanket.
Most people at this time were wrapped in wet clothes and looked at others with defensive eyes.
After all, it was raining so heavily just now, and they had been walking in the rain for one or two hours. It was already difficult for them to protect the plants in front of them from being blown down by the rain. It was basically impossible for them to protect their clothes from being wetted by the rain.
Fortunately, the temperature is not low now, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold even if you wear wet clothes.
Otherwise it would be like adding insult to injury.
Ji He walked all the way to the second floor and quickly found the area closest to the toilet.
Under Director Xu's arrangement, everyone has now started to rest in their assigned areas.
Although he was very tired, his face was no longer completely pale.
Ji He discovered that among the few talented people living near their home, only two families were still living with everyone, the others had disappeared.
This is normal. If you have the conditions to live in a better environment, you naturally don’t want to live in a place with such a strong smell.
Director Xu was facing away from Ji He, talking to his daughter with his head down. His daughter patted him on the shoulder, and he raised his hand and pointed behind him.
She turned around and saw Ji He standing not far away with a big bag on his back.
He came over quickly and said, "What are you running around for, kid? Come on, there's some hot water up there, come and have a sip."
Director Xu lied to Ji He. The shelter has a unified time for distributing hot water and food. They haven't arrived yet, so naturally they haven't been distributed.
She took out the hot water from her home and gave it to Ji He to drink.
Knowing that Ji He's parents had passed away, and fearing that the child might be sensitive, he simply said that it was sent from above.
Ji He heard it.
She knew that Director Xu meant well.
But she can't drink this water. Director Xu's family has no talented people, and they also have a 16-year-old girl, so their life is not easy either.
"Director Xu, I have something to talk to you about. Let's go to the other side and talk."
"Okay, let's go."
As he spoke, Ji He glanced at Director Xu's daughter, who was leaning on her luggage with a pale face. She smiled when she saw Ji He.
Unlike people like Ji He who pretend to be poor and can’t gain weight.
Her daughter is really thin.
Compared to his healthy and slightly plump appearance a year ago, he looks much thinner and his cheeks are a little sunken.
Fortunately, they have Director Xu as a formal employee, who pays their salary and allowances on time every day, otherwise their family’s life would be even worse.
Director Xu handed her daughter to the care of her husband, wiped her hands on the sides of her casual pants, and followed Ji He to the side.
"Director, I have found my relatives and am now living upstairs. I won't be back for a while, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Director Xu nodded and said, "Okay, your uncle's family is well off, you can go live with them. The environment here is just average, and it's not easy to deal with natural disasters or man-made disasters. With family around, you can have someone to help you if you have any problems, which is better than living alone."
All the old neighbors knew that Ji He had an uncle. Whenever the child talked about looking for relatives, she only thought of her uncle.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. After all, they are relatives. Even if we break bones, we are still connected. I can't take care of them at ordinary times, but I still can't bear to be cruel to them at the critical moment.
After all, my younger brothers are gone, leaving only this girl, and I have to take care of her a little.
Ji He didn't explain much, otherwise it would take a long time.
She held a ounce of brown sugar and an unwrapped painkiller in her hand and handed it over.
"I just saw that my little sister didn't look very well, so I gave her some brown sugar water to nourish her. But this brown sugar has been stored for more than a year, so it's a bit dry. I don't know if it's bad or not.
