Chapter 71 Water and electricity are also limited 3/3
Chapter 71 Water and electricity restrictions again (33)
According to her memory in her previous life, this job is actually to recruit workers to build a base, and the people who go to work there are not all required to have a full tail when they come back. Broken hands, broken feet, are all minor injuries, and many of them cannot come back.
Now, although there will be subsidies, such small subsidies will become irritating in the end of the world, so it is better not to go at all.
But Huang Jinghe didn't even come to ask his parents, and was ruthlessly rejected by Huang's father and Huang's mother. Once others leave, what will happen to the materials stored at home? Who can rest assured if there is no one at home to watch over them.
The most important thing is, if others don’t know how hard this physical work is, how can they not know? Their son is still young, and they really don’t want Huang Jinghe to get hurt. By then it will be too late to go back.
So before the recruitment information was released, Huang Jinghe's idea was dismissed by Huang's father and Huang's mother.
Huang Jinghe: [No, my parents won’t let me go.]
Lan Jin breathed a sigh of relief: [It's right not to let him go. We have so many supplies at home, and if you're not there, if someone breaks the door, it won't be worth the loss. You can't earn a few packs of instant noodles a day by working outside, but you can still rely on your own.
Some.】
Huang Jinghe: [Sister Lan and my parents said the same thing. In fact, I didn’t understand it at first, but then I thought about it. I have someone to break the door when I’m at home, let alone when I’m not at home. After thinking about it, it’s okay.
I don’t plan to go.]
It's a good thing that the child listened to the advice. No matter what Huang's father and Huang's mother thought at first, Huang Jinghe just stayed.
As for the base, she remembered that the base in J City was completed half a month before the insect plague ended. During the remaining half month, the staff also persuaded the residents to bring food to the base.
It is definitely a good thing to have a base to stay in, but the base in the previous life was built in nearly 8 months due to poisonous fog for half a year and an insect infestation for one and a half months.
But hasn't the period of poisonous fog been shortened in this life? If the period of insect plague is not extended, it will naturally mean that the three-month heavy rain period will be brought forward, and then the base will not be safe.
She is not saying that the base is not well built, but during heavy rains the floods will reach the 18th floor. The height of the base is simply not enough to withstand such a high flood.
The residents in the previous life suffered heavy casualties, and it is no surprise that they will suffer the same fate in this life, so there is no need to build a base or go to the base.
But no one else knows about this. Almost everyone is immersed in the joy of recruiting workers, so Lan Jin will naturally not get into trouble.
Of course, she never thought of reminding her anything.
After these workers applied for the job, they were picked up directly by a car that afternoon.
Just like in the previous life, workers were sent away in batches and sent back in batches. Anyway, within a few days, there were always a few people coming and going.
Although the workers' lives are difficult, the lives of those who actually stay in the community are not that easy either.
The insect infestation was rampant. At first, everyone just felt irritable, but as time went by, subsequent problems came one after another.
The areas bitten by mosquitoes are red, swollen, oozing, pus-producing, and ulcerated. These are just basic operations. The wounds will not be good for a long time, and symptoms such as fever, epilepsy, etc. will follow soon after.
The gradually rising high temperature, the proliferation of mosquitoes, and the number of patients all made the entire J City anxious.
Want to cure.
Not that fast at all.
But prevention is easy.
No matter how these mosquitoes mutate, they will always just get bigger. The bugs are still the same bugs. As long as you spray insecticides at home, you can prevent most of them. Those bitten areas only need to be sprayed with toilet water or Fengyoujing.
It can also reduce most of the swelling. In addition, as time goes by, people who have used these two methods have not said that their wounds are better, but fortunately they have not worsened.
But--
Yes, but, no.
There is no insecticide, no mosquito coils, no mosquito repellent leaves... nothing at all.
These things are not essential items. If there are any leftovers, they were not used up last year. Even if some people prepare one or two bottles, how can there be any leftovers after more than a month of insect disaster?
After knowing their importance, these products were put on the shelves in supermarkets.
Not to mention that payment requires contribution points, but the price is really prohibitive for many people.
Lan Jin is not worried about these things. Not to mention the mosquito nets at home, insecticides are also available, so there is no need to worry about insect infestations.
…
In such an anxious life, more than a month passed by in a flash, and the time finally came to November.
Half a month has passed since the two-month insect infestation period that Lan Jin remembered. However, not only has the insect infestation not ended, but it is likely to become more widespread. The temperature outside is simply frighteningly high.
The thermometer on Lanjin's balcony showed that the outdoor high temperature reached 71 degrees, and the indoor temperature once exceeded 40 degrees. This was even when she used an air-conditioning fan, let alone other people's homes, and outdoor work was directly blocked.
Despite the ban, the work of building the base has not stopped at all.
Because of the high temperature, many workers suffered from heat sickness——
In short, it's not as bad as those with major injuries and minor injuries. At least you can see the person come back.
The lake outside has turned into a deep pit, and the water in the river has dropped much lower than before.
A few months ago, they were worried about the flooding, but now they are worried about the drying up of the river. Of course, this is an adjective, and the river can't dry up so easily.
However, because the hot weather lasted for too long, water and electricity rationing was once again put on the agenda.
However, the current water and electricity restrictions are very different from the original ones.
In the past, electricity was available for free use, but water was changed to limited supply in the morning and evening.
But at this moment, the water and electricity were cut off directly. If you need water, you have to go out and get a bucket.
In other words, it is difficult to restore water and electricity in the short term.
As for the place where they receive water, it is the newly built faucet at the entrance of the canteen that they go to every day.
There will be people guarding the faucets, and residents will collect water by household. No matter how many people are in your family, each household can only receive water once a day, and can only receive one bucket of water at a time. The standard for a bucket is 6L, no matter how many people your family has.
People, it doesn’t matter if your home has enough, there are only so many, you can use them however you like.
Although the residents complained a lot, no one dared to say anything. Otherwise, they would not even be able to receive the bucket of water, so they would have to drink mineral water. In this special period, no matter how much contribution points are made, it cannot be done like this.
Make it.
But there are some things that we should complain about. We can tolerate the water supply, but we cannot tolerate the power cuts.
Heat is one thing. There is no elevator, so how can residents carry water upstairs?
The people on the lower floors gritted their teeth and were able to go up, but the people on the upper floors said nothing.
"No, can you consider those of us who live in high places? The 33rd floor is really not accessible to people. In addition, we have to queue up and it's so hot during the day. It's really annoying."
