Back upstairs, Zheng Weili wanted to give Jiang Ning some wood.
Jiang Ning refused. "I have a lot of clothes and quilts, so I use up the firewood slowly. You can take them back and store them. I will chop them myself if I need them."
Knowing her character, Zheng Weili did not force it.
Lu Yu knocked on the door of 1801, and everyone gathered in 1803 again. "Good news!"
Many people went to Fengshan to cut firewood today, and they actually heard a lot of exciting news, "The government is going to distribute supplies."
Previously, due to floods, not only were residents unable to travel, but many government departments were also paralyzed. Now, the floods have frozen over, and although it is freezing cold, at least people can move freely.
"The government will distribute relief food the day after tomorrow. It will be distributed once a week, 1 kilogram each time. Residents can go to the original neighborhood committee with their ID cards to collect it."
Distributing 1 kilogram of rice per week is indeed too little. The natural disaster came suddenly and all supplies were submerged under water. Coastal cities are at low altitudes. Even if the national grain reserve warehouses are located at a relatively high level, the combination of typhoons and floods is too powerful. How much can be transferred away in time?
There are several million people in Fengcheng. Even if more than half of them were unfortunately killed, there are still at least one million survivors. It is really not easy to come up with so much food.
"In addition, the government has announced that paper money will be invalidated, and new currencies will be introduced later, and barter will be used temporarily."
This news is of no concern to the residents, after all, their money has already been spent. It is those who made a fortune from the disaster who suffered the most and are probably crying in the toilet now.
"In addition to distributing relief food, the government also posted recruitment information for thousands of positions, ranging from technical researchers to grassroots body collection teams.
The reward is food. Scarce R&D technical talents can get 20 to 30 kilograms of food per month, while the lower-level laborers can get 5 kilograms of food per month, but lunch is included.
Lu Yu joked, "Aning, do you think we should apply for the job?"
"It's up to you. I'm not going anyway."
The workers who collect corpses have no skills and can barely feed themselves with 5 kilograms of food a month. However, with the weekly relief food, they can barely survive.
Lu Yu was joking. The mission of the 18th floor was to defend the nest, not to earn a pitiful five kilograms of food.
1803 If you eat and drink sparingly, you will be absolutely fine for two years.
The government has turned a passive situation into an active one, and all departments are actively fighting the disaster. Maybe things will get better in the future. There is no need for them to risk their lives to earn this little food.
Besides, just because you have the life to earn money doesn’t mean you will have the life to spend it.
As a result, all the staff on the 18th floor gave up and refused to compete with others for jobs.
When Jiang Ning left, he saw that Zhang Chao had an injury on his hand and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong?"
"It wasn't a big problem. We were just targeted by several groups of people when we were felling trees in Fengshan. They not only wanted to steal our firewood, but also wanted to steal our hacksaws. We fought them off every time."
It's too chaotic outside. Not to mention going out alone, even going out in groups of three is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be plotted against.
He and Lu Yu were cutting wood, and Zheng Weili was on guard, and they were all spotted.
Jiang Ning wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
After all, this is not only the norm, but will become more and more cruel in the future.
…
On the day of receiving relief food, Zhang Chao came early and knocked on the door.
Jiang Ning didn't want to queue, "You guys go first, I'll stay and look after the house."
So, 1803 went to the neighborhood committee early to queue up.
The tenacious vitality of human beings is far beyond imagination.
Staying at home, I felt like the whole world had come to a standstill, and the silence of human death was everywhere.
However, when the relief food came out, there were crowds of people everywhere.
They went out in the morning and came back after one in the afternoon. The three of them took out the rice bags from their thick clothes.
The new rice is mixed with broken rice. To prevent others from claiming it by mistake, you have to queue up with your ID card to collect it.
The scene was chaotic, but with policemen armed with live ammunition standing guard, no one dared to mess around at the food distribution point, but it was dangerous to stay away.
Pickpockets are back, bag-cutting gangs are everywhere, and there are those who just grab and run.
In order to get more food, human wisdom is endless. The people in front of Zheng Weili carried their 80-year-old mother out of their home, covered her tightly with several thick quilts.
But just before receiving the food, my mother passed away.
The family members cried and made a fuss at the scene, saying that the government’s policies were problematic and had caused the death of a long-lived elderly person in their family.
The commotion was huge, attracting many onlookers, who grumbled about the government's inhumanity and called on them to demand compensation.
The food distribution volunteer came over, lifted the quilt and checked the old man, whose body was already extremely stiff.
"I'm sorry, I used to work in a hospital. This old lady didn't just pass away. She has been dead for at least 24 hours."
Unhealthy tendencies must not be allowed to grow, and troublemakers’ eligibility to receive food grains will be revoked immediately.
The troublemaker opened his mouth to roar, but was faced with the black muzzle of a gun.
This is not a peaceful time, the police will really shoot.
Lu Yu reminded, "Aning, there are pickpockets and robbers everywhere now. You must hide the food you get and never let anyone get close to you."
It's right at the entrance of the community, but he and Zhang Chao both have weapons in their hands, so they don't dare to come over because they see the opponent's trick.
Jiang Ning nodded, changed her clothes and wanted to put the Coke in 1803, but it bit her trouser leg and insisted on going out to play.
"No, everyone out there wants to eat dog meat."
Hearing that he couldn't go out, the dog's bright eyes dimmed and he lowered his head in silence.
Jiang Ning squatted down and touched the dog's head to comfort it.
Doudou opened the door and ran out excitedly, "Sister, let's go."
Jiang Ning frowned and looked at Huo Yishen, "You take Doudou out?"
"Well, go out and see the world outside."
Okay, there's nothing wrong with gaining more experience and knowledge. People have to grow up, especially in the end times, they need to mature early, otherwise they will end up in a miserable state.
Jiang Ning had nothing to say, but Kele's eyes lit up.
Even little kids can go, so why can't it?
Finally, for fear that it would go out and do something wrong, I had to find a rope to tie it up.
Dogs are naturally unrestrained and love freedom, and it is humiliating for them to be tied up with a rope, but Coke still endures it because the person who tied it up is its owner.
So, Jiang Ning took the dog, and Huo Yishen took his sister, and they went downstairs to the neighborhood committee.
The neighborhood committee is not far away, about one kilometer or so, but it’s hard to walk fast because of the ice.
Jiang Ning's worries were not unfounded. He deliberately stripped the mink fur off Coke before going out, but he still managed to attract everyone's attention.
It’s not that they had never seen dogs before, but they had never seen such a strong and beautiful dog, with an upright and majestic posture.
This is too much. Is there any justice in this world?
Damn it, is he going to let me live?
Faced with the greedy and hungry gaze, the dog was not afraid at all and glared back with murderous intent.
The girl on the leash seemed difficult to deal with, and the man standing next to her looked like a cold-faced god, and it seemed his eyes could kill.
They must be a gang, otherwise how could they afford to keep a dog, let alone dare to take it out for a walk.
Look at that aura, just looking at it makes people feel creepy.
It is very easy to judge whether it is a criminal gang. Just look at the dogs they raise. The aura they have is like a dog relying on the power of its master!
I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!
