Lu Qin felt like she was back to being an office worker working from 8 am to 5 pm.
No, this time it's six in the morning and six in the evening.
Maybe she did a great job, or maybe it was because people trusted her, but after registering the people in the community, she was familiar with her job, so she was sent to help register the permanent residents in the entire Antu County.
Now that the power system is paralyzed and computers cannot be used, we can only rely on manual registration.
Lu Qin has always had a good memory. He used to be involved in personnel registration work. Even if there were a lot of people, he was very sensitive to the people and avoided duplicate registration several times.
Those people were starving and wanted to take advantage of the situation to get two supplies.
Some of them were exposed but still felt justified.
"What can you do to me? I pay so much tax every year, and you don't even give me food to eat?"
Of course, Lu Qin wouldn't bother with these people. She had a group of armed soldiers behind her! Most likely, they would be finished if they showed their guns.
She even felt like she was bringing a group of sword-wielding guards.
But it is no wonder that everyone wants to get more. The disaster relief packages distributed by the government are still very practical. There are three compressed biscuits, two boxes of milk, three pieces of dried meat, a box of canned vegetables or fruits, a small bag of sugar, two pounds of vacuum-packed rice, two burning sticks, three candles, a small knife, and some medicines.
These supplies were enough to keep an average family well fed for several days. If the minimum rations were followed, they would at least keep them from starving for eight or ten days.
As for what happened next, Lu Qin didn't know.
She had only heard that Unit 756 was gathering various resources and had already found a local granary, but she had no idea of their specific arrangements. Anyway, these people had been very busy recently, and Qu Dongbo had only returned home once before being absent from the scene.
Lu Qin's mother, however, was very excited. She was naturally delighted to have the army behind her, and to have them as her neighbors. Now that her safety was guaranteed, she couldn't sit still anymore and volunteered to join the army's snow-clearing team, clearing the neighborhood roads every day.
Lu Qin felt sorry for her and was afraid that she would catch a cold, but Liang Shuyu herself didn't care at all. She got up earlier than her every day, so the mother and daughter didn't see each other for the whole day.
Antu County, a county-level city under Rongcheng, has a daily population of around 400,000. However, due to the disaster, the recent death rate is quite high. In addition, Antu County has been without any management for a period of time, and many people have fled, so the number of people is indeed much lower.
The base number is there, and with so many people, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems.
Although Qu Dongbo and his colleagues were of high rank, as soldiers, they rarely took care of these menial affairs. The officials left by the county government were only a few small ones. The big ones had already patted their butts and ran away to Rongcheng, leaving behind a mess.
Fortunately, soldiers have always been decisive and resolute, and they keep their word. In addition, with force at hand, no one dares to question their work.
Construction work during the snowstorm is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The streets gradually became more lively with the patrolling of soldiers and the people taking population counts and distributing supplies.
Even though snowflakes were falling on everyone's heads and shoulders, vitality was spreading.
It seems like everything is on track.
The demographic work has been going on for two weeks and is finally coming to an end.
Lu Qin shook his sore arms and ended his work for the day.
These days, they go out early and come back late. In the morning, they follow the military vehicles to various communities. The soldiers are responsible for searching for survivors and various useful supplies. She and a group of colleagues are responsible for statistics, and occasionally they are also responsible for rescuing the wounded.
Since she left the community, she realized how serious the situation outside was.
There were many people who died of starvation and freezing. There were also those who died while resisting during home invasions, and those who committed suicide because they could not bear the disaster. There were many different ways of death. Many bodies were left outside and frozen solid because there were no conditions to deal with them.
Fortunately, it was snowing heavily and the temperature was below zero, otherwise these corpses would have rotted and stank, and would have caused a large-scale plague sooner or later.
There are also those violent ones who not only steal food with their fists, but also steal women.
Lu Qin witnessed with his own eyes a villain torturing three girls beyond recognition. Of course, the villain was shot dead by the army on the spot to serve as a warning to others.
I couldn't help but sigh that compared to that, the little setbacks her family had experienced were nothing.
Although working outside is thrilling, exciting and hard work, Lu Qin still feels it is quite fulfilling.
For doing these unremarkable jobs, she can receive two meal tickets a day, as well as various material subsidies. This is her salary. During this special period, the salary is not in cash, but now she can't buy supplies with money.
This was something she could not even imagine in her previous life. She was a low-level worker doing manual labor, and her hard work every day could only earn her a little food ration.
After a while, it wouldn't be too much to ask for me to continue working at the base and getting a salary based on my status as the neighbor of the highest commander of the military region's private residence, right?
I wonder when the shelter down there was actually put into use? I heard that in my previous life, the prototype of the base was basically formed after the shelter was put into use.
Well, anyway, it feels really good to hold someone’s thighs.
Lu Qin thought randomly.
"Miss Lu, are you going home?" I was suddenly stopped by a shout. I turned around and saw it was Qu Dongbo.
"Hello, sir."
Qu Dongbo seemed a little haggard. "Miss Lu and I have known each other for many days. Calling her sir seems a bit too distant."
Lu Qin burst out laughing: "Then you can call me Miss Lu too."
"That seems to be true." Qu Dongbo didn't know why, but every time he saw Lu Qin, he felt more relaxed, as if she had an innate ability to relax people. He had been so busy these days and hadn't been home. He wanted to go back, but he felt that he was alone at home and there was nothing to worry about.
Then he thought of Lu Qin.
Since we're neighbors, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to go home together, right? he thought to himself.
"What should I call you? Brother Qu? Big Brother Qu? Captain Qu? I can't just call him Qu Dongbo by his name, right?" Lu Qin blinked.
“Not impossible.”
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding." Lu Qin laughed, "Anyway, I call Sister Yan and her husband Brother Wu, so I'll call you Brother Qu too. Even though it sounds a bit corny."
He nodded in agreement. Lu Qin didn't care. Qu Dongbo was a nice guy, just a quiet one. But after dealing with him a few times, she was used to it.
"So, Brother Qu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Oh, nothing much. I just saw you getting off work, so I decided to go home with you. How's work going? Are you busy? I heard you helped me a lot, but I didn't even thank you."
Lu Qin tilted her head. She found it odd that such homely words could come out of the mouth of a cold warlord.
"Why should I be so hard-working? Besides, it's not like you haven't paid me, haha."
"That being said, I still want to thank Miss Lu."
"I don't even call you sir anymore, so you don't have to do that, right?" Lu Qin said with a smile, "Just call me Xiao Qin, that's what all my friends call me."
Thinking about it again, it seemed a bit intimate, Lu Qin blushed slightly: "Forget it, just call me by my full name, Lu Qin."
Qu Dongbo didn't say anything, just nodded slightly: "I'm a few years older than you, so it's not too much to call me Xiaoqin."
Lu Qin shuddered: "No, no, no, call me by my full name!"
Lu Qin was not really used to being called by a nickname by someone she was not very familiar with.
It was actually not far from the activity center to Lu Qin's home, and she could get there in a few steps. Lu Qin stood at the door and looked at Qu Dongbo, who was standing aside, probably wanting to see her off home.
Lu Qin felt a little embarrassed. Although it was indeed on her way, wouldn't it be inappropriate to ask someone to take her home without expressing gratitude?
"Well, do you want to come to my house and sit down?"
"OK."
"ah?"
Lu Qin said, "Shouldn't a normal person say something like 'it's inconvenient'? Even if she declines, it's fine! She didn't really want to invite him! How could this be out of the ordinary? Isn't it too quick to agree?"
