Chapter 74 Invitation (33)
Speaking of which, this couple is a magical pair. From the time they moved in until now, they quarrel almost every day. No matter what the matter is, as long as they open their mouths, they will definitely quarrel.
Speaking of sound insulation, the sound insulation of their house is really good, but when I was at home, I could hear the quarrel between these two people clearly. Just imagine how loud these people's voices were.
After Lan Jin put the water into the space, she took a bowl and shared the rice with Ren Siqiao. However, hearing the familiar quarrel, Ren Siqiao frowned and said, "They're quarreling again."
"Yeah, they're arguing again."
"Why do you quarrel every day?" After saying this, the little kid stuffed the green vegetables he picked up into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them.
"Who knows?"
After Lan Jin finished speaking, she took out a previously cooked soup from the space. Although the food was delicious, she also wanted to drink soup occasionally. In the past two days, the little kid loved to drink tomato soup and mushroom soup. The amount did not need to be too much, a small bowl was enough, and it was very satisfying to eat. Naturally, she filled her own small bowl today.
With the soup, Ren Siqiao stopped talking no matter how much they quarreled. She picked up the bowl and took a sip, then started to eat dinner seriously. After they finished their dinner, the quarrel next door finally stopped. Lan Jin guessed that they should be eating, otherwise there would be no way to shut up those two mouths.
…
Nowadays, getting water is like punching in, once a day, no matter whether people are used to it or not, but no one will indulge those who are not used to it.
After everyone had been fetching water for five consecutive days, a piece of gossip quickly spread throughout the community, which was that the supply and marketing cooperative had reopened.
Just when everyone was rummaging through their boxes and drawers at home looking for unused RMB, the official announcement came that the supply and marketing cooperatives had indeed reopened, but they would not accept RMB, only gold as the transaction currency.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and this time everyone really couldn't sit still.
However, it is useless even if you can't sit still. The people above you won't buy your tricks at all. It's up to you to buy or not. If you don't buy, then forget it. Not buying can even help them save on supplies.
But on the day before the supply and marketing cooperative officially opened, Lan Jin received an unexpected gift, which was an invitation letter from Huang's father and mother to the Beijing base where Huang Jinghe and her had just come.
When Huang Jinghe put the invitation in her hands, Lan Jin felt like she was dreaming.
But the invitation letter from Jing City did appear in her hands.
Can I get an invitation?
Do I need an invitation letter to go to the Beijing base?
Lan Jin asked curiously, "Why do I need an invitation to go to the Jing City base?"
She knew that she didn't need to go to the J City base. Of course, J City could not be compared with Jing City, but the gap was too big. Fortunately, she met Huang Jinghe. Otherwise, after the flood was over, she would go there again, but she couldn't enter the Jing City base. That would be a real disaster.
Huang Jinghe's parents had naturally explained everything to him beforehand, and he explained it to Lan Jin as well. Lan Jin's mouth twitched when she heard this. "So this is just the entry threshold. That means there are other requirements. An invitation alone isn't enough to get in."
Huang Jinghe nodded and said, "Yes, my parents mentioned it to me before, but I didn't tell you because the requirements were not yet released. Now that the requirements are released, my parents asked his comrades to send our invitation letters to us."
Huang Jinghe continued, "Since my parents are with me, my immediate family only needs an invitation. But for others to go there, in addition to an invitation, they'll also need a lot of supplies or other things. An invitation alone is definitely not enough. If Sister Lan wants to go, you can bring some supplies and we can go together."
Lan Jin has all the supplies, and it would be convenient for her to take them out if she goes by herself, but it would be inconvenient if she goes with Huang Jinghe. However, it would be more reassuring if she had someone she trustworthy traveling with her.
But, is the base ready now? Is the speed over there so fast? The one in J City isn't even finished yet.
Huang Jinghe said, "It's not built yet. My parents didn't tell me when to go over there. They said they'd let me know when there's news and then I'd set off. If the road is open, we'll take the bus. If not, maybe we can find a way on our own, maybe get a ride with the army, but my parents said it's best to find a way on our own. So if Sister Lan wants to go over there, we can just be a good companion."
Lan Jin twitched his lips. "Yes, but let's wait until the base is built before we figure out how to get there. If there's a high-speed rail, it'll be quick, but if I drive myself, I think it'll take more than a week."
Let’s not talk about the car for now. The roads in the apocalypse are not as easy to travel as before. Who knows what will happen along the way? So if you really want to arrive at the same time as before, I’m afraid it will be difficult.
Huang Jinghe smiled and said, "Yeah, it won't take a day or two anyway. I think it won't be completed before this year. A base can accommodate so many people, and there's no way a base with so many people can be completed in just a few months. So there's no need to rush. After all, I'm afraid they won't come back after they go there, so Sister Lan can take this time to think it over carefully."
Lan Jin understood what Huang Jinghe meant. Relocating the whole family did require careful consideration, and she shouldn't agree to it out of excitement. But the most important thing was that Lan Jin was not stupid. Not to mention that her previous goal was to go to the Beijing base, wouldn't it be difficult to make a decision when putting these two bases together?
As for the neighborhood—
Without some strength, it is impossible to live a stable life in the community.
Of course, she wasn't talking about now.
Speaking of the invitation in her hand, it felt shameless for her to accept such an important thing. Lan Jin said, "Your invitation is too precious. I can't accept it."
Although Lan Jin wanted it very much, and her words were not false at all, she did not want to refuse. Before Huang Jinghe could speak, she said, "But I don't want to return it to you. Besides, my name is written on it, and I guess you can't give it to anyone else. So I will go with you then. But I can't just accept the invitation. Let me think about how I can repay you."
Huang Jinghe didn't expect Lan Jin to be so honest, but it was good that he didn't refuse. While thanking Lan Jin, he also completed the task given to him by his parents. "No need to thank me, I still thank you for taking care of me. Any of the things that happened during the poisonous fog would have disastrous consequences. I am not a person who doesn't know things."
"That's different. I'm just giving you a verbal reminder. Whether you listen or not is up to you. But your invitation letter is a real benefit. You can't talk about it that way."
