There are too many scams these days, but the old man hurt his head, and he couldn't get over it without seeing a doctor.
Jiang Ning carefully examined Grandma Zhong. She had a lung infection that caused her to cough constantly, and she also had sequelae of a concussion, but she didn't have any other major problems.
She was in a bad mood, and always felt that death was approaching.
But lung infection is not a minor problem, and the old man's immunity is poor, so it is easy to cause pneumonia if it is delayed for a long time.
"Grandma, you don't have a big problem. Just take some cough and phlegm medicine. You have to take care of the concussion slowly, and it will get better."
Grandma Zhong didn't hold out hope. She sent her daughter-in-law out, held Jiang Ning's hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, tell grandma the truth, how long do I have left?"
It was too difficult. The Zhong family had finally stockpiled some food in the past two years, but it was almost wasted because of her illness.
Every extra day she spent was sucking the blood of her children and grandchildren.
If she squandered all her money, how would Zhong Ping and the others live in the future?
"Grandma, I'm not lying. You're really fine. You just have a concussion and need to rest for a long time."
Jiang Ning comforted her, "A good mood is better than any medicine. You'll get better."
Since she was here, she gave her acupuncture.
At the same time, Jiang Ning called Zhong's mother over and taught her how to massage the acupoints, "These acupoints can relieve headaches and dizziness. Press them whenever you have time. It's good for recovery."
Needless to say, after acupuncture and massage, Grandma Zhong felt much better.
Knowing that the Zhong family was not well off, Jiang Ning did not prescribe any medicine. "Boil some loquat leaves in water, it will help relieve cough. Other medicines are not recommended." Jiang Ning
looked at the tent. "Grandma, the four of you are crammed into one tent?"
"There is no room." Grandma Zhong sighed. "Two scientific research buildings collapsed, and the remaining people are all squeezed into one office. Zhong Ping and his son still have workstations. At night, Zhong Ping's mother goes to her workstation to sleep, and when the father and son come back, one of them stays with me."
Alas, she is the one who drags down the young people.
The environment is bad and not suitable for recuperation. Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "How about I help you find a house?"
Grandma Zhong shook her head, "Where are the houses? We have searched everywhere around here. If it is too far away, it will be unsafe for the father and son to go to and from work. The environment here is a bit poor, but at least there are security personnel, so it is not too dangerous."
Living here, at least they can see each other every day.
If it is too far away, she will suddenly close her eyes one day without her children and grandchildren by her side.
The meaning of life is different for everyone.
Jiang Ning did not force himself, and sat for a while before getting up and leaving.
Mother Zhong warmly persuaded him to stay, "I have boiled sweet potatoes and dried potatoes, why don't you eat them before leaving?"
"No, we have things to do."
After saying goodbye, she rode away on the donkey.
Mother Zhong brought the boiled medicine, "Mom, do you still want to drink it?"
"Yes, you've already spent the money."
Alas, these three idiots are not smart no matter how they are raised. They helped count money after being cheated.
She is dying, what should the woods do?
Mother Zhong came in with the medicine and sat down next to her mother-in-law, but she was hit by the blanket and almost spilled the medicine.
Grandma Zhong tried to sit up, "What's wrong?" Mother
Zhong lifted the thin blanket, and there was a bottle of cough syrup, a box of antibiotics, and two Gastrodia elata inside.
Grandma Zhong responded quickly, "Xiao Jiang has taken good care of us. This thing is too expensive to accept. You should hide it quickly and chase it out."
Unexpectedly, Mother Zhong sat there without moving, "Mom, you are sick and need these medicines."
"She doesn't owe us anything, and we can't afford to pay her back."
"Since Jiang Ning has given it to her, she doesn't need it, but it is life-saving for you."
Mother Zhong said nothing and refused to agree, "We, the Zhong family, will remember her kindness and will repay her in the future."
Fearing that the old lady would be angry, she added, "We have a jar of pickled fish at home. How about giving it to her?"
Ask yourself, who doesn't want to live? Especially Grandma Zhong who is worried about the three woods.
She sighed deeply, "Okay, find something to cover the altar, don't let anyone find it."
Zhong's mother took a piece of torn towel, wrapped the altar and stuffed it into her backpack, and hurriedly chased after him.
But where was the little donkey?
...
Seeing the points system clearly, He Tianming's heart sank.
On the way back, the two discussed that due to the early warning of the earthquake, most of the survivors survived.
This is a great thing, but the supplies are limited, which means that the living environment will be more severe.
Yang Weimin was panicked, "Old He, Aoyuan risked its own life to give up three houses for refugee resettlement housing, and only exchanged it for 5,000 points. The last time it was rewarded with 2,000 points for early earthquake warning, and 3,000 points for organizing the earthquake rescue team. These are what you actively fought for. Together, they can just exchange for two houses.
There are more than 100 people in our community, what can we do?"
He Tianming thought carefully, "If we move, it will definitely be impossible to live as comfortably as in Aoyuan. We have to be prepared to endure hard times. We can't make decisions for our members. We have to wait and see what they are willing to do."
There were no outsiders around, so Yang Weimin went straight to the point, "Old He, are you moving?"
"I plan to move, what about you?"
"We have to move no matter what." Even if he didn't plan for himself, he had to consider his son.
Although Aoyuan members know some skills, they are just ordinary people in the end times. It is unrealistic for each household to buy a house, but there is still some hope for sharing a house.
Yang Weimin was surprised, "Sharing a house?"
This is a good idea. Each household can save 2,500 points and contribute 250 kilograms of food, and then there is hope to live in a house.
"Old He, our two families know each other well, so we can share a house together."
Time is urgent, and they immediately called the members downstairs to hold a meeting after returning to the community.
He Tianming took the intercom to find Huo Yishen, but there was no reply for a long time, so he must have gone out.
Only Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning were left, and Yang Weimin was undecided, "How about waiting for them to come back?"
He Tianming also wanted to wait, but at the same time he knew very well that the two people had the ability and connections, and it was unfair for them to live in two rooms, not to mention sharing a room.
Time is points, and some people who reacted quickly were already scavenging, turning over the stainless steel doors and door frames in the ruins, and breaking the concrete walls to find steel bars.
The two people disappeared without a trace, what if they came back in a few days?
"No more waiting, let's hold a meeting to solicit the opinions of the members first, and then I will tell them later."
So, representatives from various companies rushed to the sales office.
"What? Are you crazy? You need 5,000 points and 500 kilograms of food to buy a house, and there's no living room or bathroom?"
"Sharing a room? How is that possible? Living at home is too cramped. The whole family is squeezed into one room and can't even stretch their legs straight."
"500 kilograms of dry food? The amount of sweet potatoes and potatoes has to be doubled, which is 1,000 kilograms!"
Upon hearing the news, each family exploded in an instant, expressing their dissatisfaction.
He Tianming said nothing, letting them vent their suppressed emotions...
