Is there a school on the base?
Su Nian had never heard of this before.
Wang Dacheng scratched his head and smiled naively, "I just heard from the owner of the grocery store next door. He said there is a school and an orphanage in the base. Some children without relatives live in the orphanage and rely on the base for support and education.
It seems that the Third Base is really good. When we were in the Second Base, there were no schools in the outer city, only in the inner city, and most people couldn’t afford to go there.”
Su Nian had really no idea about the news that Wang Dacheng had told her before. After all, she didn't have a child herself and didn't have any children around her, so she had no intention of paying attention to such things.
With so many children in the courtyard, it is normal for Wang Dacheng to take this matter to heart.
Su Nian sorted out his thoughts a little, "Brother Wang, did you ask how the school charges?"
Wang Dacheng nodded and said, "I asked. A child needs 100 contribution points per semester, and they have to provide for their own food and accommodation.
If you want textbooks, you have to spend contribution points to buy them. If you don’t want to buy them, you can find a way to get them yourself, or copy them.”
Copying textbooks?
Su Nian had a blank expression on his face.
Copying textbooks is so scary!
She collected a lot of books before, so should there be textbooks among them?
But how to take it out?
Su Nian remembered that there was also a printer and printing paper in the space. Could he print something directly?
"Big sister, big sister, what are you thinking about?"
Su Nian came back to his senses after hearing Wang Dacheng's repeated urging.
Looking at Wang Dacheng who was concerned about Yan Han, Su Nian shook his head and said, "It's okay. I was just thinking about something."
Even if she had these things, she couldn't take them out openly immediately. She had to think of a suitable excuse.
But before Su Nian could continue thinking, Wang Dacheng said, "I'm thinking of forming a scavenging team and taking people to the city to scavenge. We can sell other things we bring back for contribution points. If we can find books or something, that would be even better."
Speaking of this, Wang Dacheng couldn't help but smile.
Although he also knew that his idea was a bit far-fetched.
How coincidental it was that he was able to find his textbook.
But...what if?
What if it was just a coincidence that he found it?
People still have to have hope, otherwise how can they survive in this doomsday!
After listening to Wang Dacheng's words, Su Nian and Jing Mo looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Wang Dacheng is already an adult, with his own ideas and things to do.
If Su Nian and Jing Mo really interfere too much, it will not be good for Wang Dacheng.
"Since you have made up your mind, Brother Wang, we won't say anything more." Jing Mo said slowly, "I only have one thing to remind you, be careful.
The situation outside the base is definitely not as good as inside the base. The thick fog is everywhere and there are dangers everywhere. We can't let our guard down at any time."
Wang Dacheng put away his smile and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will be very careful."
He still wanted to live a little longer. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease leaving so many people and so many things in the base to Feng Xiuli alone?
Su Nian was about to say something else when a person appeared at the door. He looked familiar, as if he was someone who had eaten here yesterday.
"Boss, why haven't you started cooking yet?"
Hearing this person's question, Jing Mo quickly said, "The soup is already stewing. You can start making whatever dishes you want."
The man walked in and sat down at a table. "We had stewed potatoes with salted fish yesterday, so let's have braised clams today! The smell was so delicious yesterday!"
"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
Braised clams are not a difficult dish and are quite simple to make.
Watching Jing Mo start to cook in an orderly manner, the fragrance spread instantly, and Wang Dacheng's eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
It’s okay that Jing Mo can repair water pumps, but why is he so good at cooking too?
After enduring for a long time, Wang Dacheng couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Brother, is there anything else you don't know how to do?"
Jing Mo answered without any hesitation, "Probably a little bit of everything."
Hearing this, Wang Dacheng nodded expressionlessly.
A little bit?
He thinks it's a little bit, right?
Su Nian, who was standing aside, knew from Wang Dacheng's expression that Wang Dacheng had automatically translated Jing Mo's words in his mind.
It turns out that I have been with them for a long time and I know each other so well!
When the braised clams were almost done, the man ordered a bowl of rice and a bowl of seafood soup.
Paired with spicy braised clams, it's mouth-watering just by looking at it.
The man took a bite and closed his eyes, looking very enjoyable.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Jing Mo and Su Nian with bright eyes, "Boss, why don't you sell pork? It's more satisfying to eat that way!"
Jing Mo smiled, "We have these things because we are from the second base, Linhai.
Where can I get the pork?"
In fact, Jing Mo didn't need to tell the man, he knew it was extremely difficult to get pork now.
But I hadn't eaten pork for a long time and I missed it so much that I couldn't help but ask.
Su Nian looked over curiously, "Does our base have a breeding farm? Don't we have pork for sale?"
"Yes, I have!"
Hearing these two words, Wang Dacheng's eyes began to light up, "Really? How much does pork cost?"
"Thirty contribution points for one pound of meat."
“….”
Su Nian and Jing Mo were also very shocked.
Thirty contribution points for a pound of meat, what’s the difference between this and robbery?
The only difference is probably that during a robbery, the person being robbed is not very unhappy.
But when it comes to buying pork, it's completely a matter of mutual consent.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. No one can claim to be a big enemy.
Su Nian could only be thankful that there was enough pork stored in her space, allowing her and Jing Mo to eat whatever they wanted during their lifetime.
Shocked by the price of pork, several people stopped talking and the room fell into silence.
After a while, the silence was broken by the sound of eating.
Wang Dacheng smacked his lips and said, "Actually, seafood is also very delicious, so fresh..."
The further he spoke, the quieter Wang Dacheng's voice became.
The truth is, he can't even fool himself!
The seafood is very fresh, but there is a difference in taste between fresh and dried ones.
Compared to eating meat in big mouthfuls, the difference is even greater.
Who could have imagined a few years ago that the price of pork would become prohibitive in our lifetime?
