Chapter 237: Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea



About half an hour later, everyone gradually calmed down.

He Tianming said slowly, "If you feel it is really difficult, you can choose to live in Aoyuan by yourself, as long as you can bear the possible risks in the future.

Everyone is having a hard time. I personally think it is safer if we can continue to stick together. What do you think? "

"Captain He, are you going to move?"

"I can't afford to buy a house either, but I will definitely find a way to earn points to move in."

"Well, since you're moving, I'll move too."

“My family wants to move, but how do I earn points?”

Seeing He Tianming's firm attitude, the others who didn't want to move couldn't help but panic. After thinking about it, they gritted their teeth and raised their hands to agree.

Most people moved in within the past two years and they trust He Tianming quite a bit.

In other words, he had moved into Aoyuan. If he had lived outside, he would have died long ago.

Therefore, even if you want to form a group, you have to find people who know you well.

They all remembered those evil people who banded together in the resettlement camp and who, in order to snatch the houses from Aoyuan, simply picked up the weak and helpless people and threw them down from the building.

More than one, more than once, he even dared to kill the staff.

It was too dangerous to stay or go out alone.

There is no choice in reality, they have to agree whether they agree or not, just to survive.

Therefore, except for Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning, Aoyuan unanimously decided to move.

Next, the question is how to accumulate points.

On the way back, He Tianming was thinking about this problem and now he has an idea.

It is too dangerous to work alone, so it is recommended to form a team to earn points.

"We were divided into several groups. The young and strong men went to the ruins to scavenge for steel or iron products. The less strong ones went to Fengcheng River to dig sand..."

Aoyuan doesn’t have a car, so he will come forward to communicate and see if the relevant department can send a car to pick it up.

The rest are women and children, who are responsible for reclaiming wasteland and planting corn and sweet potatoes. They plant as much as they can and use the money to buy houses.

Green vegetables grow the fastest, so you can plant several crops and store them after drying.

The division of labor and tasks were clear, and a team leader was selected, and no one had any objections.

They believe in He Tianming and hope that through everyone's efforts, they can settle down in the new urban area.

Living in a shared room is miserable, but living on the streets as a refugee is even worse.

When Jiang Ning came back, the meeting was just about to be adjourned. He Tianming stopped the two of them and briefly explained the content of the meeting.

Just as he expected, the two of them had no intention of sharing a room.

"Captain He, we will not participate in this mission."

He Tianming understood and expressed his gratitude again, "Thank you for the trouble with the seeds."

Fortunately, I spoke up in time. If I had spoken now, the price would have probably increased several times.

The people from Aoyuan did not rest. After the meeting, each group took action immediately, going out to pick up wasteland, dig sand, and plant crops.

Jiang Ning stood on the terrace, looking at the busy figures in Fengcheng River in the distance.

After two consecutive rains, the drought was alleviated to a great extent and the groundwater level did not continue to drop.

Jiang Ning was worried that the good sand would be snatched away, so he asked, "When are we going to dig sand?"

Huo Yi stared at the figure in the river and said, "We need to make a sand sifting net."

Picking up stones manually like they do is not only inefficient, but the points earned are also few.

The sand screening net is very simple. It is made by welding steel bars more than one meter long into a row, leaving a gap in the middle. When sand is poured onto the net, larger gravel will be blocked, while fine sand will leak to the other end.

There was no shortage of steel bars in the space, so the two men cut the bars to length and quickly welded three of them.

This thing is very durable. Jiang Ning said, "Why don't we give them one?"

Aoyuan provides a comfortable environment for two people to lie down. Although the rent is equivalent to 20 kilograms of coarse grains every month, the cost-effectiveness is indeed very high.

I don’t know what the future will be like, but it is truly precious that we can still show kindness to others in these three years of the last days.

As long as it does not affect his own interests, Jiang Ning doesn't mind giving a little help.

After all, it is more meaningful for such people to live than for those devils holding weapons.

Huo Yishen had no objection, "Okay."

Go to bed early and get up early, put on thermal clothing, take sun protection measures, and take the two out.

Half an hour later, the truck drove through the bumpy road and stopped by the Fengcheng River.

The earthquake cut off the Fengcheng River. The members were digging above the river, while Jiang Ning and several others were digging below the river, about two hundred meters apart.

Seeing a member passing by, she hurriedly called out, "I asked a friend to get two sand screening nets. I'll lend you one. Just return it after use."

The members were surprised and thanked him repeatedly.

He carried the sand sifting net and shouted to the team members from afar, "Comrade Huo and Xiao Jiang, lend us the sand sifting net."

Sand of good quality can be exchanged for more points, which gives us more hope.

Huo Yishen walked to the middle of the river, chose a flat place, and used a hoe to shovel away the weeds and mud.

Doudou helped with a small shovel and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, the grass has sprouted."

She squatted down and used her hands to dig through the caked mud. There was a twisted grass body trying to break through the soil and grow out.

Jiang Ning sighed, this is the vitality.

Sand digging is hard work, but Huo Yishen worked tirelessly under the scorching sun, like a machine.

He was reluctant to let Jiang Ning and Dou Dou do more work, but the dog, who had been competitive all his life, used his claws to dig the mud and sand desperately.

Not only the fine sand, but also the coarse gravel that is filtered out will not be wasted. When the villa is built in the future, it can be mixed with cement to water the yard, or used to build walls or something.

This job is slow to begin with, and you have to hide in the space when Doudou isn't paying attention.

There were three people and a dog, but after working for a long time there was not much sand.

Doudou reflected that he didn't seem to have done much work.

So, despite his brother's objections, he kept adding work to himself.

I was too lazy to go back at noon, so I sat under the awning and ate lunch.

I was afraid that the members would come over suddenly, so I didn’t dare to eat too much. I just had steamed buns and fried dumplings, and a bowl of pork ribs and corn soup for each person.

After much effort, we finally got half a truckload of sand by dark.

All the members went home, but the three of them were still working diligently.

Wait until your vision blurs, then pack up and go home.

Huo Yishen and Doudou were waiting on the roadside while Jiang Ning drove Gou Zi to deliver the goods.

Go to a deserted place and put it into the space under the cover of night.

After working for half a month, Huo Yishen seemed to have become tanned.

In addition to the extra space, the space was filled with 7 trucks of fine river sand and 3 trucks of coarse gravel.

Aoyuan members dug more, working day and night, as if they were going to dig out all the sand in Fengcheng River.

After they had dug enough sand, Jiang Ning lent them his own sand screening net.

He Tianming came forward and talked with the relevant departments several times, and finally reached an agreement. They sent vehicles to load sand and steel picked up by scavengers, stainless steel doors and iron frames, etc.

This is the convenience of teamwork. If you have a lot of things in your hands, you can bargain. If you travel alone, you can only find a way to transport the things to Wangwan to register and calculate points.
