Famine: I farmed and saved the world

Chapter 402 Soft knives are the deadliest

"What happened?" Qi Fei and the others heard Xiao Li's shout and came out to check.

Xiao Li waved his hand, "It's snowing outside, and the snowflakes are very sharp. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the boat, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Is it really not a big problem?
Often soft knives are the deadliest.

This beautiful-looking snowflake will be the last straw that crushes the people at the bottom.

Guancheng Resettlement Center——

The base construction in the mountains is in full swing, and most of the refugees who originally lived in the resettlement camps have gone to earn work points in the mountains.

Only some women and children were left in the shelter, some people who could not do heavy work, and some street sluts who ate every meal and lived every day.

The entire building was covered by heavy snow, and at first glance, there was only snow white. At most, the snow on the top turned the edges and corners into soft arcs, just like the snowy days in the Northeast, it is very spectacular.

It's a pity that no one comes to appreciate such a beautiful scenery now, they only feel the bone-chilling cold.

In a certain room, there was an orange flame inside, and the noise was very lively. From time to time, there was the sound of some people slapping the table excitedly.

This is a poker field, mahjong, Pai Gow, and playing cards carved out of wood, fluttering on the table in people's hands.

In this era of no Internet and no electricity, playing cards seems to be the best way for people to get together for entertainment.

This is not a casino, as long as you pay a small piece of food, you can play cards here for three days and three nights.

"Aunt Yu, your body is made of cotton, it's terrible, who bought it for you?"

There was a table of mahjong-playing aunts chatting, and the speaker did not forget to free his hand to touch Aunt Yu's clothes, which were soft, not to mention how good the touch was, she was so envious.

Unlike the cloth stuffed with sawdust on her body, it is still cold in a stiff dress.

Now if anyone can still wear cotton clothes, he must be a big family among the big families. In the past, they were all at a well-off level, which was envied by many people.

As if waiting for someone to praise her big padded jacket, Aunt Yu Le's face was full of creases, "You all know Wanqing Farm, right? It's the Wanqing Farm where the staff's meals are all the best! "

"I've heard of it, who hasn't heard of this great name!" Another poker player on Aunt Yu's left said.

Wanqing Farm is in the shelter, it is like a moon in the water, a star in the sky, an existence that countless people can't reach.

Some time ago, Wanqing Farm recruited people on a large scale. As long as they could walk in the resettlement center, they all went to try their luck. The crowd was so spectacular.

It's a pity that they only accept people with a university degree, not everyone can be recruited, especially those graduate students who are more popular.

Many people complain that the current life is really difficult. Even a job in farming requires a degree, and those without a degree can only go to the base to move bricks.

When it comes to Wanqing Farm, Aunt Yu is very proud, "My son applied for a job a while ago and was recruited. He came back from the holiday two days ago and told me that the salary there is very good. The monthly salary is [-] work points. Woolen cloth!"

"Hey, isn't that higher than the iron rice bowl?" The person watching the cards next to him heard the topic here and was attracted to him, so he followed up and asked.

Aunt Yu lifted her chin up, "What is this? We usually heard that the treatment is good, but after my son went there, he found that the treatment was even better than what he had heard. Let's not talk about it when he went to distribute quilts and cotton clothes.

The staff dormitory they live in has heating. How expensive coal is now, they actually provide heating for the employees. They wear thin pajamas every day and sleep warm, not to mention how wonderful it is! "

"There is also heating. The charcoal for burning fire is so expensive now. I heard that the supply at the exchange point is in short supply. Even if you have work points, you may not be able to buy it. What a conscientious enterprise!"

In this freezing weather, how many people are lying on the bed gradually becoming stiff and gradually losing consciousness. How happy they would be if they could have heating while sleeping.

"There are more! Their staff meals are three meals a day. There are big steamed buns, white rice, and chicken and mutton. There must be fresh vegetables. They are delicious! One serving per person, the portion is very large I can eat enough to be full,
My son came back two days ago and brought me a big steamed bun, two chicken legs, and a small portion of fried water spinach. It was delicious. "

As Aunt Yu said, the poker players who came over to listen to the excitement seemed to have seen the meat and big white steamed buns in front of them, drooling unconsciously.

"Hey, hey, bro, stop your saliva, it's all on my head." An aunt who was sitting at the corner of the table watching the cards looked at the fascinated man standing behind her with disgust.

It has been three years since the natural disaster, and they have not seen meat for two and a half years. The unpalatable fish jelly cake and disgusting rat jerky are not considered meat in their eyes. After taking a bite of the unpalatable, they don't want to eat it again in this life .

Now thinking about the delicacies and soft steamed buns that I ate before, my mouth is watering uncontrollably.

"Aunt Yu is enjoying the blessing, you are telling us what else is interesting in it"

"That's right, let's talk about it."

The poker players on the third floor and the third floor around listened with gusto, all raised their heads to ask questions, and some of them didn't even play cards.

"Leave a way, let a way!!!"

A little girl squeezed into the crowd wearing a tattered jacket with sawdust floating out, holding a vacuum flask with peeling paint in her hand, and placed it in front of Aunt Yu.

For one work point, you can enjoy free hot water for a month. This service can only be enjoyed by people like Aunt Yu.

Since the water filter was developed based on the principle of piranha gills, production has been increased, and now the drinking water resources are not so scarce, and ordinary people can drink drinking water.

Don't look at the snow all over the sky outside, if you boil it directly, you will have diarrhea, and in severe cases, you will even die of dehydration. There is no problem with washing and washing, and the drinking water that enters the stomach must be filtered before drinking.

In the past, water resources were scarce and expensive, and many people were reluctant to waste a drop, and there were many people who could not afford to drink water for a few days, but now it is not so serious.

If someone in the family goes out to work and earns work points, it shouldn’t be a problem to survive. Unfortunately, not everyone’s family is so lucky.

The girl responsible for pouring water is only 15 years old this year. Her name is Xiaojie. She works here and is usually in charge of sanitation and cleaning.

She has no relatives at home. A 15-year-old girl is thin and weak. No one wants to work in the base. She can only find a way to make a living. The boss of the poker room saw her pitifully, so she left her to eat.

This card game is the source of income for the boss to support his family. Due to the low price, the money he earns every month is just enough for the whole family to live on. To be able to squeeze some food out of his teeth to pay Xiaojie’s wages is already considered his ability to make a living. Best effort.
