After returning to the room and letting the dog out for some fresh air, Jiang Ning took out some Cantonese-style morning tea, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.
Jiang Ning felt pretty good. Natural disasters destroyed civilization, but humans never gave up, and the new home was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt.
The infrastructure was piling up, the research was being done in an orderly manner, the farming was in urgent need of restoration, and especially the sparks in the darkness were igniting the prairie.
One cannot help but sigh at the unyielding tenacity of China for five thousand years.
Doudou drank milk tea and raised his hand and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I want to apply for a planter."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"
Doudou nodded, "Anyway, I'm free, I want to give it a try."
The brother and sister were both restless, and the little girl was especially hardworking. She had been planting and breeding a lot in recent years, and was definitely a little expert.
As a sister-in-law, Jiang Ning had no opinion, but it depended on Huo Yishen's opinion.
Huo Yishen asked Jiang Ning and Doudou, "What do you think of the new home?"
Doudou didn't hesitate, "It's pretty good."
Jiang Ning understood what he meant, "Since we're here, let time decide whether to stay or go."
Wandering alone, no one cares about eating and drinking, but people always have to socialize. After a round of wandering, I feel cheerful and comfortable.
There are gains and losses. After drifting on the sea for a few months, it's okay to change my lifestyle.
Huo Yishen nodded and agreed, "Doudou, you can go for the interview, but if you are accepted, you must be careful in what you say and do, and you can't bring trouble to the family." Doudou
was overjoyed, "Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, I will be careful." Never reveal secrets.
Planting does not require too much physical effort, and you don't have to leave Area B. Job opportunities are really rare.
Doudou was afraid that someone else would get there first, so he immediately went downstairs to sign up.
Huo Yishen sighed, "Doudou has grown up."
Since he decided to stay for the time being, he had to have a decent life. Jiang Ning said generously, "It's impossible for me to go to work. If you want to work, just go ahead."
After a few years, Huo Yishen had already gotten used to it, "No hurry, let's see." There
are very few jobs that don't require leaving home and are easy. All the women in Area B who can move have signed up, and the competition is quite fierce.
Not only can they take care of the family, but they also get 8 kilograms of food a month.
The people who signed up almost had a fight. After all, growing vegetables is engraved in the DNA of the Chinese.
After so many years of natural disasters, who doesn't have some experience in planting?
Doudou was very nervous, afraid that she would be eliminated.
Maybe her brother is too good, which is why she is so unconfident.
Jiang Ning encouraged, "Doudou, believe in yourself, you are the best."
"Can I really do it?"
After giving her an affirmative answer, Jiang Ning gently kicked Huo Yishen and complained, "Look at what you are capable of."
Huo Yishen was depressed. If he wasn't excellent, would she have taken a fancy to him?
In the evening, the sharp-nosed monkey came and knocked on the door, "Sister, I brought you good things."
A brand new inflatable mattress and 90% new folding tables and chairs.
These things are not easy to find, and he spent a lot of effort.
"There are also mattresses, pillows, towels, etc. If you need them, it won't be too late for me to change them."
How can you bring these when you are drifting on the sea? It is worthy of being a second-hand merchant brought out by Qin Chuan.
To live a clear life, Jiang Ning accepted everything. "What do you want to exchange?"
The sharp-nosed monkey said in a clear tone, "Sister, you saved my family's lives. These are my gifts. How can I ask for your supplies?"
Knowing that he was having a hard time, Jiang Ning couldn't ask for them for free. "Giving you medicine is just a piece of cake. Even if I don't give it to you, you can wait for the government to distribute it."
"Sister, you are my sister."
It is true that the sharp-nosed monkey was poor, but he was well versed in the ways of the world. "It's a rare opportunity to repay you. I'll feel bad if you don't accept it."
"Let's put it this way. These things are hard to find. If you insist on giving them away for free, then take them back."
Seeing her firm attitude, the sharp-nosed monkey gave in. "My wife and children are not in good health. How about using these to offset the medical expenses?"
Jiang Ning was puzzled. "It seems that there is a doctor at the base."
"You have to pay for food to see a doctor, and there is no medicine after seeing a doctor."
In fact, it was just an excuse for the sharp-mouthed monkey. After so many years of natural disasters, everyone is full of illnesses.
Seeing a doctor will only add to the trouble.
Jiang Ning did not object, "I don't know much, but I can try."
After collecting the things, she followed him to 351.
Three people squeezed into a house of less than four square meters. There was only room for a bed, and it was full of supplies. It was so crowded that there was no place to stand.
But Wang Meili knew how to clean up. She found some materials to make an attic, and piled things on the roof.
People couldn't even walk straight in, so they could only squat to go in and out.
Even so, for someone who had been drifting on the sea for months, it was already very satisfying.
The sharp-mouthed monkey felt bad for letting his wife and children suffer with him.
Even if it costs him money, he will work hard to make money so that his wife can live in a good house in the future.
Not wanting his sister to be wronged, the sharp-mouthed monkey hurriedly said, "Meili, you and the child, bring a bench out."
Wang Meili brought the child out.
The dead child was an older one. The younger one was only eleven years old and had just learned to speak when the natural disaster came.
It is not easy to raise children in a natural disaster. Jiang Ning felt that he had to work hard even if he had abundant resources, not to mention that the sharp-mouthed monkey had to raise two children.
The eleven-year-old child, with a skeleton body and a big head, walked unsteadily.
Jiang Ning did not dare to get too close, for fear that if he accidentally touched him, his head would fall off.
In fact, it is the same whether to check or not, it is a common problem in natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Anemia, malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiency can cause various diseases, which can lead to organ failure in severe cases.
The diseases of the family of three are too numerous to list. If they are not improved for a long time, their life span will be shortened.
Given the current conditions, Jiang Ning has no better solution. He taught Wang Meili acupoint massage, which can relieve or prevent many diseases.
The sharp-nosed monkey was extremely happy, worthy of being called a big sister.
He couldn't teach all at once, and if he taught too much, Wang Meili would not remember it, so he finished in about half an hour. "After you practice
well, come to me to learn new things." The sharp-nosed monkey encouraged his wife, "Study hard, and when the base gets better in the future, we can open a massage shop and make a living with our skills."
Wang Meili was a little confused, "Really?"
"Really, we will get better."
She often got stuck in the pain of losing her son and couldn't get out of it, sometimes she would be in a daze for several days in a row.
The sharp-nosed monkey was also sad, but he was the pillar of the family and must not fall down.
Jiang Ning agreed, "It will get better, and then we will open dozens of chain stores."
Wang Meili smiled, "Thank you, I will work hard."
Back in the room, Jiang Ning closed the door, and the three people and the dog went into the space to wash and change.
After coming out, Doudou went to bed early, wanting to be in the best condition for tomorrow's interview.
Jiang Ning sat on the sofa, wiped his hair with a towel, and discussed: "The family of sharp-nosed monkeys has suffered from many illnesses. What do you think? Should I give them some herbal medicine to regulate their bodies, or use the supplies to replace the things for today?"
