Chapter 121 Extra Income



So the two of them made dumplings for five days.

For the 1801 package, half of the ingredients are used for each, and the charcoal fire is burned very vigorously to prevent the dough and filling from freezing.

At 1801, charcoal fire was lit, and Doudou came to help. Jiang Ning contributed several kilograms of leeks, cabbage and celery.

Huo Yi chopped the stuffing, cut the vegetables without telling Doudou, chopped them up and put them in the meat stuffing, then added some soy sauce and stirred.

Doudou was only six years old. He was a little smart but didn’t understand everything, and he managed to get away with it.

Each family received 2,000 dumplings, which was enough to last them for a long time.

Jiang Ning's portion was put in a storage space to keep fresh, while Huo Yishen's was put on the balcony to freeze for an hour, and when he brought it back, it was harder than a rock.

There is no need to put it in the refrigerator, just store it in the box and take it out when you want to eat it.

Jiang Ning wanted to make some meat buns and stockpile them, but flour was difficult to ferment in this kind of weather, so he gave up the idea.

I repeat the same life every day, reading, playing with the dog, weeding, digging the fields, exercising, living a monotonous and repetitive life.

After getting to know him for a long time, Jiang Ning discovered that Huo Yishen was not only a skilled martial artist, but also a boy who loved reading and studying.

He was actually reading a book on auto repair, and he was enjoying it very much.

Jiang Ning was a good driver, but he knew almost nothing about auto repair, so he asked curiously, "How do you read this book?"

In fact, she felt sorry for his chariot. Even if it hadn't been washed away, it had been soaked in water for several months and then experienced extremely cold weather, and the performance of the materials had deteriorated rapidly, almost equivalent to being scrapped. What a pity.

When the flood receded, all the vehicles were scrapped, and it would be very difficult to get another one.

"Just take a look and kill time."

Jiang Ning didn't believe it. He thought that people with a military or police background would never be casual.

The days are slow, yet fast.

She didn't gain any fat, but her abs finally showed up. It was really worth it for her to persist in sparring with Huo Yishen every day.

Over the past six months, my physical fitness has improved visibly, and I no longer feel tired or sick when I use my consciousness to turn the soil and weed.

After a month, the potato seedlings grew lush and green.

Doudou was craving for vegetables, "Sister, can Miaomiao eat some?"

"No." Jiang Ning took the opportunity to give the two some scientific advice, "Potato sprouts contain solanine. Eating too much will cause dizziness and vomiting, and in severe cases, death."

Doudou was curious, "What is solanine?"

"It's poison. It can kill people." Jiang Ning tried to explain it to her but she still couldn't understand it. He reminded her, "Remember, you can't eat it."

"Doudou, don't die. Stay with your brothers and sisters and Coke."

After scaring the two, Jiang Ning left contentedly, thinking that Zheng Weili and the other two had been working for a month and there had been no news during this period. He didn't know how they were doing, so he figured it would be soon for their holiday.

I was half asleep in the morning when there were knocks on the door.

Coke looked ferocious and kept pulling at the door.

Jiang Ning opened the door and the fierce dog suddenly wagged its tail.

As soon as the outer door opened, it rushed out quickly.

Lu Yu's voice came, "Coke, don't you miss us!"

The three returned as promised, carrying bedding and spare clothes.

I haven't seen you for a month and I feel like you've changed a lot.

It was true that Lu Yu and Zhang Chao were laughing and joking, but they also showed a sense of vicissitudes and maturity that they had never seen before, and they looked rough.

The temperature had dropped to minus sixty degrees Celsius. His face was wrapped tightly and his eyes were full of fatigue and bloodshot.

I worked until midnight, and after receiving the food, I slept for three hours in the dormitory for fear of being robbed. I left for home only after the peak robbery time on the food distribution day.

It was far away and it took me seven hours to get home.

"You guys go back first, I'm just boiling some hot water, I'll bring you a pot later."

After closing the door, brushing teeth and washing face, Jiang Ning took out the kettle and brought it to 1803. Seeing that they were too tired to lift their feet, he cooked a pot of noodles.

After finishing a pot of steaming noodles, Zhang Chao's stiff body finally warmed up. He couldn't help but sigh, "A Ning's cooking skills are really good. The food we eat in the canteen is very bad, without even a bit of meat."

"How's work going for you guys?"

Zhang Chao held out his bandaged hand and said, "I almost lost my life."

Eight kilograms of food is really not easy to earn.

Zhang Chao was fine. After all, he had been out in society and knew that life was hard, so he was mentally prepared for this job.

But Lu Yu was different. He had lived for twenty years, and this was the first time he worked honestly to earn a living.

If I hadn’t been lucky enough to be assigned to the same group with Zhang Chao, I would have almost collapsed.

All three of them were on night shift, but Zheng Weili was assigned to another group, so the two of them had no choice but to stick together to survive.

It’s not so bad during the day, crime is not so rampant and people are more cautious when taking action.

It was dark at night and they would suddenly appear from nowhere, snatching bags, food, property and clothes.

On the third day of work, the two men chased a highway robber and Lu Yu was stabbed when he was caught off guard.

If I hadn't worn the color steel protective suit beforehand, my arm might have been broken.

Danger is everywhere, especially on the days when each unit has to pay its wages, that is really terrifying.

There were some careless ones who, relying on their tall and strong bodies, were not afraid of any danger and left carelessly with food in their hands. However, they were robbed by biker gangs just a few steps out of the unit and were dragged onto the ice for dozens of meters.

The ice surface is slippery. If it were on a concrete road, people would be dragged down.

"My food, my food!"

The tall and strong man cried like a child, and then his tears froze.

Being a security patrolman is like risking your life.

Of course, working can also bring unexpected income.

As long as it's not too excessive, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. After all, the danger is there.

Zhang Chao opened the bedding, revealing cigarettes, matches, a gold chain, canned food, and several kilograms of food.

Lu Yu and Zheng Weili also had it, and with the food distributed, they had a good harvest this month.

All the unexpected gains belong to the criminals.

When committing crimes and encountering security patrols, if they cannot fight back, they will run away. If they cannot escape, they will throw things and tempt the patrol team to pick them up in order to buy themselves a chance to escape. Some of the things will be found after they are captured.

If there is a victim at the scene, the property will be returned to the victim.

As for those without owners, they were divided up tacitly.

The three of them were new to the place and had no experience, so they handed in their stuff honestly. Later, after being enlightened by their seniors, they finally understood what was going on.

I couldn't get over it at first, but then I found that everyone around me was like this, and then I gradually started to think about it.

There's no way. This business is too dangerous. No one would risk their life for it if there's no benefit.

This is how survival is. Cats have their way and dogs have their way. There is nothing to criticize.

Jiang Ning asked Zhang Chao, "What happened to your hand?"

"Dodge quickly, or your tendons will be cut off."

My physical fitness has improved rapidly in the past six months, and I often get beaten up and react quickly. In the past, I would not have been able to dodge it at all.

Fortunately, I had medicine with me and was able to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound in time, otherwise the few pounds of food I earned would not be enough to pay for the medical expenses.

Jiang Ning checked him and found that the wound was not infected and had begun to scab over. "It's so dangerous, do you still want to continue working?"
