About half an hour later, everyone calmed down.
He Tianming spoke slowly, "If you think it's really difficult, you can choose to live in Aoyuan by yourself, as long as you can bear the dangers that may arise in the future.
Everyone's life is not easy. I personally think it's safer if we can continue to stick together. What do you think?"
"Captain He, are you moving?"
"I can't afford to buy a house, but I must find a way to earn points to move."
"Then, since you are moving, my family will move too."
"My family also wants to move, but how can 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 raised their hands and agreed.
Most people moved in within the past two years and still trusted He Tianming.
That is to say, if they had moved into Aoyuan, they would have died long ago if they were outside.
Therefore, even if they wanted to form a group, they had to find people who knew them well.
They all remembered those evil people who formed a group in the resettlement camp. In order to snatch the houses in Aoyuan, they just picked up the weak people and threw them down from the building.
Not just one, not just once, they even dared to kill the staff.
It was too dangerous to stay alone or go out.
In reality, there was no choice. They had to agree even if they didn't agree, just to survive.
Therefore, except for Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning not being there, Aoyuan voted unanimously to move.
Next, it was a question of 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 do things alone. It is recommended to form a team to earn points.
"We are divided into several groups. The young and strong men go to the ruins to pick up scraps and steel or iron products; those with less strength go to Fengcheng River to dig sand..."
Aoyuan has no car, so he will come forward to communicate and see if the relevant departments can send a car to pick it up.
The rest are women and children, who are responsible for clearing wasteland and planting corn and sweet potatoes. They will plant as much as they can and use it to buy housing materials.
Green vegetables grow the fastest, so they can be planted several times and stored after drying.
The division of labor is clear, the tasks are clear, and a team leader is selected. No one has any objections.
They believe in He Tianming and hope that through everyone's efforts, they can settle down in the new city.
Living in a shared house is terrible, but living on the streets as a refugee is even worse.
When Jiang Ning came back, the meeting was just about over. He Tianming stopped the two of them and briefly explained the content of the meeting.
It was 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 seeds."
Fortunately, he spoke up in time. If he had put it off until now, the cost would have increased several times.
The people of Aoyuan did not rest. After the meeting, each group immediately took action, some went out to collect wasteland, dig sand, and plant crops.
Jiang Ning stood on the terrace and looked at the busy figures of 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's hands were itchy because he was afraid that the good sand would be snatched away. "When are we going to dig sand?"
Huo Yi stared at the figure in the river. "We need to make a sand screening net."
Picking stones manually like they did was not only inefficient, but also earned few points.
The sand screening net was very simple. It was to take more than one meter long steel bars and weld them into rows, leaving a gap in the middle. When sand splashed onto the net, the larger gravel would be blocked, and the fine sand would leak to the other end. There
was no shortage of steel bars in the space. The two cut the steel bars to the right length and quickly welded three.
This thing was very durable. Jiang Ning said, "Why don't we give them one?"
Aoyuan provided the two with a comfortable environment to lie down. Although they had to pay 20 kilograms of coarse grain for rent every month, the cost-effectiveness was indeed very high.
I don't know what the future will be like, but it is really precious to be able to show kindness to others three years after the end of the world.
Jiang Ning doesn't mind giving a proper hand without affecting her own interests. After
all, compared with those devils holding weapons, such people have more meaning in life.
Huo Yishen had no objection, "Okay."
Go to bed early and get up early, put on a thermostatic suit, take sun protection measures, and take the two out.
Half an hour later, the truck drove through the potholes and stopped by the Fengcheng River.
The earthquake cut the Fengcheng River. The members were digging above the river, and Jiang Ning and others were digging below the river, almost 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 member was surprised and thanked him repeatedly.
He carried a sand screening net and shouted to the team members from a distance, "Comrade Huo and Xiao Jiang, lend us the sand screening net."
Good quality sand can be exchanged for more points, so there is more hope now.
Huo Yishen walked to the center of the river, chose a flat place, and shoveled away the weeds and silt with a hoe.
Doudou helped with a small iron shovel, and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, the grass has sprouted."
She squatted down and used her hands to dig out the caked silt. A twisted grass body was trying to break through the ground and grow.
Jiang Ning sighed, this is vitality.
Digging sand is hard work, and Huo Yishen, under the sun, is tireless like a machine.
He was reluctant to let Jiang Ning and Doudou do more, but the dog, who has been strong all his life, used his claws to dig the mud and sand desperately.
Not only fine sand, but also the coarse sand and gravel filtered out are not wasted. When the villa is built in the future, it can be mixed with cement to irrigate the yard, or used to build walls.
This work is slow in nature, and you have to hide it in the space when Doudou is not paying attention.
Three people and a dog, after working for a long time, there is not much sand.
Doudou reflected that he didn't seem to do much work.
So he ignored his brother's stop and kept adding work for himself.
At noon, I was too lazy to go back, so I sat in the sun awning to eat lunch.
Afraid that the members might come over suddenly, they didn't dare to eat too much, just steamed buns and fried dumplings, and a bowl of pork ribs and corn soup for each person.
After hard work, they finally got half a truck of sand when it was dark.
The members went home one after another, and the three of them were still working hard.
When the vision was blurred, they packed up and went home.
Huo Yishen and Doudou waited on the roadside, and Jiang Ning took Gouzi to deliver the goods.
They went to a deserted place and took advantage of the night to collect the goods into the space.
After working for half a month, it seemed that Huo Yishen was tanned.
In addition to the extra ones, the space was stored with 7 trucks of fine river sand and 3 trucks of coarse gravel.
The Aoyuan members dug more, working day and night, and they seemed to be ready to dig all the sand in Fengcheng River.
After enough sand was dug, Jiang Ning lent them his own sand screening net.
He Tianming negotiated with the relevant departments several times and finally reached an agreement. They sent a car to load sand and steel, stainless steel doors and iron frames picked up by scavengers.
This is the convenience of teamwork. If you have more things in your hands, you can bargain. If you go alone, you can only find a way to transport the things to Wangwan to register and count the points.
